Building an Iron Age Roundhouse with Hand Tools: Bushcraft Project (PART 3)

We continue to build the bushcraft iron age celtic roundhouse in the forest using just simple hand tools. For part 3 we build the archway using a piece of ash. We also gather hazel sticks and weave them together to form a ring for the rafters to lean on. Using a bushcraft knife and seasoned wood, we carve some wood pegs and use these to secure the rafters to the horizontal beams. The tool used to make the holes in the wood is a hand auger. We also secured the rest of the horizontal beams in, and notched them using a viking carving axe. For each rafter we use, we have to peel the bark off using a drawknife, this helps to reduce the chance of bugs eating the wood. The timber frame is starting to get more sturdy with the more rafters we put on. In order to get the hazel ring at the top of the structure, we had to modify the viking house ladder by turning it into more of a step ladder and adding some support struts and braces to the side of the ladder.
