I must say, I'm not a fan of the speed-up editing. The video loses its ASMR/relaxing/whatever-you-wanna-call-it aspect. (I really struggled to explain here, English is not my mother tongue and even in my mother tongue I couldn't find the words, so bear with me haha) I'd rather see really small parts of your progress with fast edited cuts, on a rhythm or pace or something like this, in order not to break the involvement of the viewer in what you're doing. Speeding up doesn't feel natural and strips us (at least me) of the enjoyment and serenity of your work. On that note, I thoroughly enjoy your videos, even though I fall asleep in front of them sometimes (take it as a compliment, they're very relaxing, that's why I love the fact that there is no music, and the sound of the wood working is just. relaxing haha. Keep up the good work: )

Hello my name is HalfdanI have enjoyed many of your videos for a long while now and I just want to thank you Mike. I havent had the best luck with weather or timing to get out the in the woods. I live in western Norway so I dont get a lot of sunny days, and the laws for fires are very strict. From apr 15. to Sep 15. it is illegal to have a fire in the woods. This gives me about two weeks of good weather bushcrafting before I have to use a gas stove. I am left feeling weak when I cant bushcraft just a little bit. You really help me to escape this unfortunate situation. Its a real life saver to have your videos. Thank you so much for your works and all my skills are thanks to you. Ive been planning on making some videos of my own, but Im not the type of guy that can edit like you, any advice?

Wonderful knowledge of old tools and glue is cool. The more I'm watching, I'm learning. Something I'd like to pitch to ya, punch in Living Big and /or cabin in Washington rainforest. This guy builds some incredible elvish looking dwellings. I love to watch those various tree dwelling builds on YouTube. If you were doing a bushcraft build here in the states, I would only feel safe well off the ground cause of the wild animals, of course. A sustainable tree dwelling with that neat woodstove(and not damaging the trees) Anyway, thanks for the outlet from work, beer, death. Great shows

Have you considered using pine tar to seal the joints? In the US, it is used for treating horse hooves. A fellow youtuber called logcabinlooms discovered a Swiss ) wood preservative for skis that uses pine tar as the main ingredient, so he makes his own wood preservative using pine tar, linseed oil and turpentine. I have used his formula on a wooden table I built with great success I am really enjoying your videos. Cheers

Very good wood structure. Well done The joint connections are perfect using marlinspikes and the inside wood connections of the main wood frame are good as well. The only think I have noticed is that the bottom frame should have a height from the ground because the rain in the woods is often and should be sealed. Otherwise you can build a water protection system around the wood house observing the ground angle

Hi Mike, I've been really enjoying your videos, the Saxon house series especially. I saw your backpack in this particular video, and I was wondering where can I get one like that? I was looking for it on the store of yours, but could really find that. I would been pleased if you could help me with that. Go on making these videos, really fun to watch all of themPeace: )

Outstanding Wouldn't be any less respect for the project gents if you deployed some, Nails. Been around since 3400 BCE. You can see Dad just chomping at the bit to get a hammer going. If the pine pitch is limited why not quickly brush some linseed or other natural penetrating oil on the other log joints & exposed end grain. Fairly sure the ancients would have had this resource.

suggestion for the mallet: a round mallet (hammering side) should have 1 flat surface. so it can last longer. The Saxon house framing looks great. stay safe. GOD BLESSP. S. almost thought you were gonna have some lollipops for lunch. but glad i was wrong. pine pitch or bee wax works fine for closing holes. even can be used for chinking the roof. but would need alot of wax
