It is a lot of work, but after it's all done, well worth it. I have a 1/2 inch scotch eye auger I bought with a few others off eBay. I was thinking of getting a set for a hand drill also so you could make even smaller holes for dowels to create all kinds of pieces. But like the 1/2 for things like you are doing there.
What do you think would be better for smaller dowels, the wedge, or maybe pine glue warmed just before adding and putting in place.
Would like to get a small hand adze also for working logs and rounding their inside. The way the world seems to be going, we all may need these skills shortly.

Hey man, really love the videos! My daughter and I are big fans. I'm off to Scotland for the Woodlore Journeyman course in October - the kit list includes a watch. I really like the look of the one you're wearing in this video - could you let me know the make/model? It kinda looks like a garmin, maybe? Anyway, would you recommend it for outdoor/bushcraft fun times? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!

I'd be careful how you align those wedges, if you place them vertically along the wood you run the risk of splitting the grain. Of course, if you place them horizontally along the top piece you run the risk of splitting the grain of the piece below. I would think it would even out if you just turn the wedge about 45 degrees off the grain

In addition to the fence to keep the deer from climbing on the roof and eating it, I recommend a smaller fence/ barrier to keep Jax from climbing it to dig. Just along the bottom and where he is tall enough to get on the roof should be enough.

This would have been a lot faster if you had built yourself a shaving horse first, maybe even including the time needed to build the shaving horse. Then again, that probably goes for most of these longer term shelters. Still a great job.

Um, yeah. Hate to bring this up, but. Jax was probably digging because he heard something. Like the mouse you faked him out with? There likely was one (or maybe a mole or something) in the sod. :D

Just love the sound of nature ansld the bushcraft atmosphere in your videos. No talking, no streets, only a man, his knife and the birds. Love it! PS: Great Work. Mine didn't look like that.

I wonder if originaly small dwellings might just have had oiled leather flaps over windows and doors. Maybe weighted at the bottom to stop most draughts.
Just a thought

Next time you are going to end up with a narrow strip of wood at the end, make the second to last one a bit norrower so the last one can be a bit wider, great videos btw

Good work mate. If you'd put the smaller plank of wood you made in the middle then it may well have been pinched by the others: )
Really good end product!
