Having worked with green wood a bit some thirty years ago I have an observation to make. I see you cut the joint pegs or dowels off flush with the poles they are fixing. It may be prudent to cut them a little proud so that when the wood shrinks as it dries they can be hardened up again by driving in a little more. Cheers for a ruddy good show I envy you and wish I was fit enough to get in the woods again.

Very satisfying project to watch, I particularly love the serenity of the work sounds without music. May I ask, have you looked into the longevity of those pegs? Im very ignorant about all-wood construction but id be afraid to put a roof on top of six small load-bearing pegs. Curious to know more Really love the video series, that forest and doggo are fantastic.

I think it would be more accurate to call this lafting witch is a technique derrived from construction methods used in norway for probably way over 1000 years. The famus stavkirke vikings and the people later in norwegian history built, have a look at that if you guys want a new project: D

If this was going to be a permenant building then you would want to use dried wooden pegs in green logs. The pegs will have stunk as much as possible once dried and as the green logs dry they will grip the pins tighter. when both are green, the pins will dry faster and come loose.

Such fun and beautiful build. I saw a minor detail of using green dowels and cutting them flush. If you can replace them with dry dowels and as the green beams dry they will make a permanent joint. Keep up the great work and fantastic videos.

Absolutely loving the build guys, especially the shou sugi ban technique, even more so, the effortless art of getting a buddy to hold the stakes in place with another log whilst hammering. Simply genius hat is fully off to you gents

Where do all these people on YouTube go for it to be legal to cut down trees? In the US, even if your building on your own property, you still need a permit approved by the government.

arent those green dowels going to shrinkwhen they dry? ive done plugs for holes once with semi green oak, 2 out of 4 came loose and that wasnt freshly cut wood. I always use dry wood for dowels etc since then.

Great job guys, absolutely lovely building process. I never knew so much about cedar till now, and the idea about putting the clay between the logs to seal them is smart
