New footage starts at 36:20, The first part is a compilation of the last 2 months. I built this design of hut to see if two walls could support a roof, the advantage being less labor and materials from not building side walls. In future I'll build a kiln with 8 times the capacity to reduce the number of firings significantly, but that will be next year as the wet season is coming and drying bricks and tiles is difficult then.

Hi, as natural builder I have few improvements. Try make stone foundation higher, at least 20cm above ground. The splash water will not erode the base that quickly. Put larger stones, ceramic shards (1 - 4 cm) into clay mixture + some fiber (longer grass, leaves etc). This prevents cracks. And the most important: put diagonal bracing onto that wooden structure :) Otherwise it is so relaxing to watch you. I admire your dedication.

All of that results in much straighter looking roof. Big ups dude.

Привет! Замечательные фильмы у вас, смотрю всегда с большим удовольствием. Поразительные терпение и трудоспособность. Каждый раз что-нибудь новое придумываешь и воплощаешь в жизнь. Природа вокруг прекрасная, животные, столько леса, воды, камней и пригодной для строительства глины. Как в одном месте сконцентрировалось столько полезного? )) Очень хотел бы оказаться рядом и помогать в нелегкой работе по строительству и вообще в изготовлении интересных поделок и инструментов. Имею некоторый опыт в строительстве и подобных делах. Интересно, сколько простоят земляные стены? А не пробовал их армировать ветками, пальмовыми листьями или просто длинными побегами? Сделать типа что-то глинобитного домика? Сначала забиваешь колья в грунт, потом переплетаешь их тонкими ветвями и все обмазываешь глиной или просто землей. Так раньше в 19 и даже в 20 веке строили в наших местах дома, хозпостройки и сараи для животных. Достаточно крепкие и долговечные получаются помещения. Спасибо за контент. Здоровья, терпения, сил и удачи!

Ahh, another Primitive Technology video! A labour-saving suggestions for you: instead of shaping the tile, transferring it to the form, shaping the curve, then laying down on the floor, a curved mould for the tiles that you can lay on top of the curved form would let you shape and form the tile in one step, which could potentially save you a quarter of your time. I've also been wondering when you're going to build a large, permanent kiln. Seems an obvious step considering how much clay you fire.
@Cyberian_Khatru6 күн бұрын
I'm pretty sure he would rather keep building kilns since he can have any size and shape when he builds a new one, and the effort of maintaining the perpetual kiln ought to be similar to just laying a few bricks every time. I know that that's the reason he keeps building fires by spinning a stick: it's not difficult, and every other "easier" method has a caveat. Same for all the other complicated blower designs operated by ropes and such.
@adymode5 күн бұрын
didn't he try curved moulds in season 2 episode three? the clay stuck to them and lost its curve when shaken out. The flat mold seems simpler to fill and drop the clay predictably.

Here in France, they used to form the tiles over their upper leg and always put animal prints on one to guarantee a good firing. But someone beat us all and did it for you. Love how you show that with a bit of knowledge you can build safe shelter. By the way, if you make the bottom beam larger , or raise it up, your tiles will all settle into each other. Normally we put on a double lath to kick the bottom tile up as there is no tile for it to go into.

@kallewirsch22635 күн бұрын
I have often thought the same thing. Man, why aren't you using your back for transportation but instead always carry everything with your bare hands. But I guess it is not easy to build something like that. For one, he has no fibers suitable to make some straps from (I think, don't know if it is possible to get the lianas soft enough in order to weave them). Next he would need some way of smoothing the wood. A backpack is not good if it constantly scratches the skin.
@teatowel115 күн бұрын
He could easily make a backpack. I suspect he just doesn't have to travel that far to collect wood. I would think it would at least be worth having a strap to bundle up the sticks into faggots but 🤷♂️ The fibre he gets from the inner bark of a tree which he used when he made a trebuchet would work well.
