Nice builds however you don't want a hole in the roof,unless you are never going to have a fire in your roundhouse,fire and hole equals burnt down roundhouse.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Holy shit. Didnt even register these were topped despite the amount of doc I had on the subject, go figure... why is that, air suction? I seem to remember that Viking longhouses actually had no issue with an actual hole on the roof, but these ain't round for sure. In any case thanks for your input! I'll defenetly tweak my build and i'll pin your comment for viewers! Cheers!

[@adriantomkinson149]

@@LandvaettrsLair it seems as if this is the case with the suction,we will probably never know for certain but experimental archaeology has indicated this.its a fascinating subject.the weaving of the wattle as shown in your video is one of the methods i use in my builds and i can often be found sitting in front of the tv with cocktail sticks and a ball of upholsters thread weaving away.back to work now weaving some gambions for an artillery battery ,cheers keep up the excellent work.

[@dominiccruz1201]

@@LandvaettrsLair Do you any suggestions for creating individual slabs for larger village setups?

[@LandvaettrsLair]

I usually go for modularity and scatter pieces for RPG purposes, but you could very well set them on a slab and create paths and a town square. If its for rpg or wargaming I would suggest to keep the space practical for miniatures or unit to deploy. If its dor diorama purposes you can get crazy with details, vegetation and terrain.

@@LandvaettrsLair Definitely some great acting career ahead. Would love to have some outro too !

[@ksbsnowowl3569]

Great tutorial! I'm in the midst of making a slightly larger one now using munchers (toddler cheetoes) cardboard canisters (4" diameter). Can't wait to get one under my belt, then start mass producing them. A reconstructive archeology video I watched on KZbin had reconstructed a Celtic roundhouse, and a closed thatch roof with no smoke hole worked quite well. The space was big enough for the smoke to rise above head level, and the smoke would slowly filter out through the thatch itself. The smoke and carbon monoxide would build up a bit near the roof, but this helped to snuff out any errant sparks that were thrown up by the fire, extinguishing them before they reached the flammable thatch.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Interesting finds! Thanks for the feedback and the reconstructive archelogy facts. Cheers!

[@ksbsnowowl3569]

Here's the video in question, timestamped to where they are talking about the fires, smoke, and why Celtic roundhouses lacked chimneys: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jorSi5asprx4aMk

[@eartecathy7378]

In reading about thatched roofs in use today I noticed two things you may enjoy hearing. First the round or oval shape allowed the thatch to be put on as a spiral rather than in concentric circles which was easier to do. second the thatch allows smoke to sift through the thatch with out making a hole for it, the smoke helps to preserve the thatch. Yes if the fire is too large it or uses fuel that causes sparks it can set fire to the roof so the occupants may have restricted themselves to using charcoal.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Interesting finds! Thanks for your input! If Im not mistakened chacoal started being actively produced during the Copper age for mettallirgic reasons but theres no doubt the process was known before, for exemple for baking ceramics. I doubt it was frequently used for domestic use but I could be wrong. Yeah it seems the smoke helped preserve the thatch, maybe the carbon released... the thatching of the rooftop also seem different in some cases, probably to favor smoke exhaust. All in all these houses were probably very smoky on the inside...

[@TheEmeraldElf]

[@LandvaettrsLair]

[@Bluecho4]

Tabletop crafters so often miss the impact of plaster/daub in building materials. The ubiquitous "medieval house" is often wattle and daub. Most castles were plastered and white-washed when they were new, a detail often lost on us modern folk because most such coverings wore away over time. For that matter, many castles of the era were made of wood, not stone, the plaster and white-wash serving to make them indistinguishable from a stone castle. Again, we tend to not think of castles made of wood, because they all rotted away centuries ago. So thanks for not only replicating period building materials, but showing at least one cottage in the process of losing its daub, exposing the wattle beneath. It would be nice to see more terrain crafted to show this effect.

[@LandvaettrsLair]

Yes! Most medieval castles actually ressembled more the White castles traditionnally seen in old fairytales than the grim dark look that is in todays fashion...

[@lovetolay]

Awesome work…..

[@neilcook9088]

There were several reasons why they didn't have a hole in the roof. Firstly it was a lot warmer. Secondly, the roof was high enough not to worry about catching fire and as already noted the oxygen level at the top of the roof was low, decreasing any risk of fire. Thirdly the smoke seeped out of the roof virtually all the way round deterring fleas, lice, bed bugs etc. Fourthly, outside animals, mice and birds would not want to nest in the roof or keep stealing the straw to take to other places! However it was not very healthy for the human inhabitants as a lot of the smoke was inhaled leading to lung and breathing problems!

Love the quality you bring. I was going to use faux fur for my thatch, but this twine technique can't be denied.

This technique is probably the faster it gets with twine, but gluing faux-fur is defenetly faster! Boils down to what finish you want for the pieces really.

Thank you for this great video! I'm in the process of making a hut and it's awesome. A tip for the hot glue stones- I don't have a small hot glue gun, so I found it easier to blob stone shapes into a non sticky paper (like for stickers), and after they cool, peel and glue them to the hut wall. It allows more control and less wait between stones "coats", as all of them call at the same time and I can also texture them before.

Sorry for the dumb question but I haven't been able to find out.

Really it depends how easily the foamboard coating peels off...if it's easy too peel go for it. XPS foam would also defently work provided the strap is thin enough. Eva foam could work but it's usually more dense and would probably require some kind of heat treatment to get a durable and convincing texture (not impossible to acheive with a heated up tool & aluminum foil, but defenetly more complicated than just rolling a ball of foam)...

any thoughts on how to avoid getting the linear row effect on the thatch? i'm looking for a scruffier thatch and the only thing i could think of would be deliberately cutting the rows unevenly in the first step, or making smaller rows, shaping them a bit, and then applying them like shingles

If you have a trimer you could just Trim the strips unevenly before gluing them on, would be faster than cutting with scisors.
