Building a Viking House with Hand Tools: Timber Roof, Bed | Bushcraft Project (PART 5)

We continue building a bushcraft viking house using traditional hand tools. Part 5 focuses on using hand tools to build the timber frame roof using cedar logs. We also use the axe, saw, hammer and auger to build a bushcraft viking bed for the viking shelter. Now that the saw horse is built, it is much easier for us to saw wood efficiently. We cook steak over the fire and eat good food in the viking camp. The rafters on the house are now up and secured to the ridge pole. We burned the ends of the rafters using the ancient Japanese technique called shou sugi ban. This helps to preserve the wood and prevent rot. We did this in the same style as the a frame shelter. The raised bed still needs work. Dad got to work on building a log store for firewood. We can’t wait to cook meat over the viking fire pit! We also began work on taking the bark of the cedar logs ready for the bark roof which will be our shingles. We use a bushcraft knife and hands to peel the bark off the logs. A drawknife could be used but we would only get small pieces of bark.
In Part 6 we focus on building the rest of the rafters and getting to work on building the bark roof of the viking house. This will be a difficult and time consuming job but once it is done the viking bushcraft camp will almost be complete!
