Valheim - How to build a Viking House - Viking Blacksmiths Building Guide

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Sections! this build has sections, sections that the sections are built in 🤨 I said sections a lot in the voice over 🤔 will consult a thesaurus

[@wizardom]

you're doing magic with your buildings, sir, and that's all that matters

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

@@wizardom Thanks man 😁

[@horse197235]

sections is a good word .........for sections, sounds better than stages or parts.

[@ardillasecreta]

Can I ask, in each section..kidding! So how do you get your land so insanely flat?!

[@John-Adam]

This is a house for toilet paper, not for a viking and you know that

[@godsoffice5714]

Man you are like the best of THE BEST VALHEIM "How to" guide. Simply the greatest ever!!!

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Thanks a lot 😁👍

[@randomadam013]

You're like the only guy I can find that actually makes build guide videos instead of just "Here's this thing that someone built". They're great and give me lots of ideas of my own. Keep up the great vids.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

cool 👍 glad you like the build. I am enjoying the game a lot and trying not be lazy and make good tutorials 😁

[@nausi5105]

I feel like this game was made for you and your channel. Out of all the styles, your builds are always so authentic but original. Which is such a hard balance. Fantastic job. Praise Odin!

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Thanks Nausi :) 👍 Yeah definitely, I used to get players coming over to my bases just to look around before I started the channel. I think that's what got me hooked on building and I have always had an interest in architecture and history, especially castles and ancient architecture.

[@austinwelch1132]

Honestly the best builder in any of the games I know of. I'm really looking forward to what you do for a castle.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Thanks Austin 👍 I am working toward the castle :) Editing the videos slows me down a little but I am making pretty good progress on the game

[@immortalbigd4122]

very cool build to be fair i was thinking why is my build not clicking together then i watch this video and i found out thank you and this is the best build guide I've seen to date must show u the finished plan or show u bit if the building works u see the finished building then u start the building for the ground up thank you and keep up the amazing work ok mate

[@londonrhodes2429]

I don't normally watch these style build videos but that was just so well done. Very clear too understand.

[@kornmais168]

Coming from the game of Dota which is unbelievably toxic to Valheim made me relax and unwind my thoughts. Watching your videos of building viking houses and meads are both relaxing and inspiring. Continue to make more of these videos. Can’t wait for your next peoject! Really Valheim is such an awesome game.

[@keebab5108]

commenting to increase audience engagement because boy do you derserve it, the quality of these videos are out of this world

[@miniblasan5717]

By all your builds I must say that this one is definitely my favourite of them all.

[@patrickdemele2414]

great tutorials man.

[@horse197235]

Looks absolutely amazing.......can't wait to sit down on a quiet say and just build !!!!

[@АндрейК-м3о]

brilliant work !

[@Keschnarf]

That's an awesome smithy and the background music suits really well. Thank you for your guides, they're really quality productions!

[@here-is-my-profile]

From epic Ark builds to epic Valheim builds. I once built your Hatley Castle, now I have to have a go at some of these. Keep up the good work. :)

[@arefrigerator396]

I followed your guide for most of it and ended up with a few modifications. I added the blast furnace in the close area where you have a bed and throne. Made an open chimney around the top and still looks aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for all your guides mate. You really get my creative juices flowin aye. 😆✌️

[@rrm2305]

Built the Blacksmith shop today worked well and very straightforward. Thank you

[@taijeronv]

This is the perfect tutorial. I like how you showed the foundation first, then you showed yourself building it. Same with the framing and the roof. Show then tell, that's really helpful. It allows the person following along to get right into contrcuction. For example, when you show the foundation layout it was easy for me to use that one segment of the vid to get started and layout everything. Plus the takeaways, or lessons learned are the best indicator of a well done tutorial. Like and subbed.

[@incap6038]

Your vids were the deciding factor in me buying this game.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

cool that's good to know, I think they have an amazing game, hope you enjoy it 👍😁

[@joelg3038]

Ngl i followed your ark builds and as absolutely amazing as they are, Valheim really compliments your build style and allows you to truly bring your creativity to life.

[@lebmuchi6518]

I was proud of my buildings...and now... i watch this...bruh u are a god

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Thanks man 😁👍

[@highkingfloppy670]

Since your video on how to do round houses I have been making some cool buildings incorporating what I learned, great channel.

[@sev783]

Thanks for your builds! I see the roundhouse in the back--I used your guide on that for my first real build attempt in the game and I love it! I even dug out the earth beneath it and made a cellar where I keep all my materials. Cheers

[@Rexon668]

This is what i call a Beautifull Viking Smithy thanks for the Buiding Ideas

[@XSoulessShadowX]

Man, I don't comment on anything really but I just wanted to say that your build tutorials are amazing. It really helps get the creativity going and helps my own towns look much better. I really appreciate you taking the time to make in depth tutorials on such cool buildings!

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

cool 👍 I am always happy when people enjoy the videos and build some of my stuff an adapt it for there own buildings 😁

[@FMMProductions]

Gonna give this one a go

[@SleepyJammers]

You sir deserve every view, like, and subscribe that earn from these videos. So much effort and love put into these projects, and it shows. So far I've only seen people barely even build square bases. Videos like these are really gonna push the development and playstyle of the game forward by providing so much hope and inspiration to the community. I for one have learned many great build ideas from your videos, and I can't wait to hop back in the game and start building.

[@raven-wolf8331]

Love this build, feeling dejavu, from this morning, I like the open aspect to the blacksmith area feels very authentic to viking era, great that you are going to continue adding to this are il be following you're builds in awe,

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

lol ty Raven :) I am happy with this, I have decided to stay here and build the area up with a full village and castle. I got copyright claimed this morning for like 30s of a song 🤦‍♂️ that was not even theirs. I get all my music from one guy and it's all original, so I took the video down and changed the song for now.

[@raven-wolf8331]

@@ThePilgrimzProject iv had that happen to me and the music was definitely not what they said lol, Alexander nakarada is my go to his music fits so perfectly, love it, I'm so looking forward to watching your next builds, see it come together. More so with it being a new game so your still finding different ways to create your amazing builds. So glad you share these with us all 😊

[@ZeusTheGodSoA]

Here I am for another one of your builds 😁

[@thatsembarrassing7315]

Love your builds!! Thanks for teaching me how one is ACTUALLY supposed to build in Valheim. Now I must go raze my village to the ground.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

😮 lol :) it's not wrong if it stays standing 👍😁

[@firestar355]

Definitely going to have to make this one to go with the matching longhouse I already set up, equipped with some personal touches. The ground I had was NOT flat and almost too small to fit it, so I shoved the porches out into these little covered structures, one of them on stilts facing the sea and the other buried into a hill, more of a patio. A big step up from my original timber yurt lol! Helped me get a lot more confident with building, I'm now carving out a basement underneath it but my little community of friends may appreciate a better looking smithy.

[@HikaruKun20]

I like house tutorials like these, especially when they got the layout set up from a bird's eye view.

[@tbird341]

Absolutely "FANTASTIC", great guide on building in Valheim. Keep the good work going! Thank you.

[@ThorKAH]

Probably not what you’re used to but man the fucking music in the background, it’s SO relaxing

[@SoulSculptor00]

Awesome how-to-build videos, you're the best. Please show us how to construct a dock! Long live to Valheim!

[@michaelhoyle3266]

Just wanted to say that I've watched several of your vids now and your builds are amazing and beautiful.

[@banecaomhnoir2725]

Very straight forward, and generally just enjoyable! Happily browsing your other videos :)

[@kalebwilliams814]

I really like your builds and the way your videos are structured

[@Ozmundas]

This is great ! I will have to steal this one for sure ! It sure feels like something that would exist. The format you do your videos makes it easy to follow - especially with the dimensional overlays. Maybe break up the music here and there with some voiceover ? (or that could just be my opinion) . Cheers :)

[@adriangoodman8901]

Yes please add some voice overs that explain a little bit of your thought process, maybe some problems you ran into etc. It will definitely add some charm, doesn't have to be extravagent

[@PROPHYZ]

there is something magic about watching you build stuff. Another great build, love every bit of it.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Thank you, appreciate that. I really love building, glad it sort of shows in the videos 👍

Love you're work, easy to guide by and relaxed music man, keep up the good work !!

[@geraldwilson3834]

Looks great. Can't wait to get mine leveled up. Quite a grind for materials.

[@Leghar]

No kidding. This building requires at least 4 trees.

[@raeraeella6426]

That build is gorgeous. I'm building that on the server. That is awesome. I love practical builds that are useful and look like they belong. I am hoping we get more options for stone building parts. Stone stairs, columns, door frames etc and maybe shingle roofs. Windows would also be cool. Even if it's just a space with bars and shutters.

[@eazyduzit419]

Thanks for the great build. Looking forward to what you build next

[@seanlowe6204]

Excellent build , hope your channel grows fast and large . Good job .

[@michaelburgess6004]

I absolutely love your building videos. I'm struggling with making a visually appealing dock that has a cover though. Perhaps you could do a dock tutorial or boat house tutorial that is medium sized, looks nice, and doesn't require several hours to build?

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

I am going to start on a Docks and Boathouse, I will add in some smaller builds around it :) I can not promise it will be a short build but I will try my best 👍

[@michaelburgess6004]

@@ThePilgrimzProject You're awesome, dude. It doesn't have to be too simple. I know you love putting your creativity to the test. There's a really great sense of satisfaction when you create a new design. I've actually got some ideas myself. Perhaps I could show you one of my own builds sometime and you could improve upon it and turn it into another one of your videos.

[@ethan-youtubetips8960]

Congrats on your growth. Thumbs up 👍

You do good work consistently enough, it will get attention. An you do great work!, you vids are always a pleasure, not a chore like so many tutorials.

[@flow2132]

I was playing Valheim while watching this and making my house, and at some point I looked at your build to compare it with mine and I was like : "At least I got a place to sleep :'(". Awesome video man ! You should be an architect ;)

[@snidely9852]

Seeing as I'm already using your roundhouse in my build, I might as well build one of these to keep collecting the set! Keep up the good work!

[@MortalSquid]

I love your valheim videos brother. Helps me come up with some ideas for my builds.

[@m.oudekerk63]

I've recently started a nice log house with a stone foundation with minimal use of beams, it works really well, they stack nicely and carry weight well you just need to cut down about 3 full black forest Biomes for a decent stack of core wood I do like this forge idea, I'll probably implement some of it for the old workshed

[@stol3nidentity621]

Awesome tutorial mate! I will be building this beautiful smithy later tonight. Keep up amazing work, looking forward to see more tutorials!

[@MrZeldaNerd]

thanks so much i might have used well pretty much the whole design with my own tweaks thrown in. but I learned so many things while building it like actually using frame work for the template and building off of that and so many other things thanks so much for this you have finally leveled my buildings from a fancy box with a roof to an actual house worth calling a home.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Cool glad you like the builds man 👍 I enjoy getting the ideas for builds out there and you guys can adapt things and use bits for your own bases.

[@Fleato]

glad things are working out for you, your builds are dope

[@NeXtarProducts]

[@urmokvagenhaughven1714]

Excellent video, love your designs.

[@philippvoid1800]

awesome. thats exactly how i plan and build my buildings. i like my 3x3 4 floor towers.

[@Northumbrian]

Love these! Been watching your Valheim videos over and over for inspiration. Just a bit of feedback, when you do your diagrams with dimensions if you could indicate early on where the door is going to be, maybe with a red marker or something, it would make it easier for the watcher to orientate and follow along.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

will do, I know what you mean. when you have a spot picked out to build you need to know where the entrance is to start 👍 I can make sure to mention it and mark it when I show the foundation. And thanks 😁 glad you like the videos

[@isaacw8055]

Wow really love how you number things and actually show how to do this, good vid man.

[@cazwalden1497]

Loving these builds. Just awesome! Thank you for taking the time to do these :) I know it isn't a traditional build for a Viking community but if you get the time, could you do a tavern. Every Viking needs a pub lol

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Thanks Gary 😁👍

[@Obscarna]

This'll probably get buried but if you remove snap points you can place a roof on top of a roof to create a small overhang rather than a full size one. It looks very nice aesthetically as the thatch hides itself and after you have done the first one you can snap to the roof that you layered on it to get a uniform overhang. Another small thing you can do without snap points is take the wooden torches and place them on the half wall high windows to make a wooden grill for the window, you'll have to wait a few days for it to burn out but after that it looks great.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

oh nice thanks for the tip Jake 👍 I have been doing that on some of the stone building holding shift to stop the snap point, I will defiantly try this with the roofs

[@lilsdon]

That build is awesome, I’ve done a 7 hour build and I’m fed up to the back teeth now, haven’t played for days, I hate building “huts”

[@JohnTibbitt]

[@quattrings8240]

Damn, these buildings are nuts! i just build the roundhouse and i'll upgrade it and use it as my portal room later on or just start over.. i'd love to see a boathouse where u can anchor your ship inside!

[@puffydogg]

I've had the game for a week and so far I have built the round house, long house and just finished the Meade hall yesterday all by myself (alot of work lol). Probably doing this one too I love all of them. Boat house next?

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Thanks cool glad you are enjoying the builds and putting them to good use :) The boathouse will be a couple of builds down the line, taking a while to build and the editing might take a few days. Not too long though I just have a few ideas I want to build while they are in my head 😁

[@ricbulow]

Been following you and your Valheim guides and love them. What I'd love to see you try your hands on, is a tower house. I've seen people use pine trees as the center foundation for making ridiculously tall houses and would love to see your take on one of such. Or even better, making a house using one or more of the massive stone pillars in the plains biome, for a great-looking house.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

That's a cool idea I will have a look at that :) I saw the really tall stone in the Plains and had the same thought 😁 I will work my way towards a build on one I have a lot of ideas and so many suggestions just not enough time to get builds out lol

[@ricbulow]

@@ThePilgrimzProject I know, my man. It's all good. I also saw someone makes a ridiculously tall tower, by using a pine tree as the base foundation. There's just sooo much you can do in this game when it comes to builds!

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Hey A G, welcome to the channel 👍 I am starting some bigger stone builds this week and working towards a full castle build. I wanted to make sure I really understood the stone building before giving you guys any ideas

[@A____G]

​@@ThePilgrimzProject Great, can't wait to see what you come up with. There are a few good videos on stone stability, it's really different from wood. I'll be waiting patiently.

[@wijn1008]

I like this build! It's modular so it leaves room for expansion or tweaking. What I like is that you make a "loot room" at the entrance, however I would change the hight with a half wall so I could stack chests 2 high. What I dislike is the placement of your fermentors and the fact the build lacks a cooking station / campfire. Also I find the dragon adornments ugly, but that's just a personal preferance. I would expend towards the see making a docking place for the boat also. For the rest it's a great build!

[@capthavic]

I use videos like this as a basis to work from and change, like adding a hearth and cooking stations as you mentioned.

[@katernis]

Hey Pilgrim. Luv Your vids. The long house one is very impressive ! Just wanted to point, just if You missed minor thing, when setting up high structures. If You noticed, any wooden block that touches ground, or rock block is blue, that means it is "foundation" block. More "blocks" is between foundation one, and last, the less stability last one will have. So basically best would be construct as simple "frames" as You can. Nothing that would IRL work as support beam etc works in Valheim, unless it have best connection to the ground. : )
