Building a Burnt Wood Door - UPGRADE to the Medieval Bushcraft House (PART 16)

Time to upgrade the medieval bushcraft saxon house, this time we build a new door using hand forged nails. We burn the wood over the fire, using an ancient japanese technique known as shou sugi ban. This technique preserves the wood by creating a protective layer that prevents bugs from eating the wood and rotting away. We then get the fire going and after doing some foraging for wild edibles, we roast sweet chestnuts over the coals. Cheers for watching! In the next part of the saxon house we will work on improving the front gable end

you'd love this series. a bunch of scientists who are experts in history go to a rebuilt medieval town with volunteers to live medieval life for a year. they built a medieval door as well. maybe you can compare notes with what they did? if anyone wants a link ask and I will reply.
Edit: I'm not posting it immediately because I'm afraid it might look like I'm stepping on toes.

Oh the squirrels ain't gonna like you, as they look down and see great big massive conkers and when they are closer, see the nuts have been nicked. Thought instead of using Linseed Oil you might have used Crozet as it acts as a preservative and a bug killer all n one. Cheers lads looking forward to this new idea you and Dad have come up with.

you should try rosdting acorns to make acorn flour. roast the acorn like you have the chestnuts, peel the shell off, then boil to remove the tanin that makes the flour bitter. grind the acorns in a coffee or spice grinder. mix q cup of acorn flour to 4 cups of corn or wheat flour. use to make muffins or pancakes.

Are the people of the United States going to end up living like that and I'm going to be the first one to does it because of the Senate the White House not doing what they're supposed to do to help people keep their houses in their homes well when it comes down to it I ready to live off the grid anyways.

Ok I have to ask! What is the rifle that is laying there but all the Nut's and bolts? Can't tell if it's a caplock or flinklock. I'm into old muzzleloaders! Rosted Chestnuts are great! Haven't down that is years. Yes at this time in Western Pennsylvania they have dropped.

Here where I live Mike in the PNW in Washington it goes straight from Summer to Winter basically. Our summer goes all the way into September sometimes even October if its a good year. But you will KNOW when the rainy season hits.

That shed looks familiar. My Dad s shed is almost the same! Jars of bits & bobs & freezer full of fishing bait (plus my dad has to keep any crabs or fish he catches there as mum won t let them in the house )
Brilliant

Instead of hacksawing the ends off. Just get a bucking bar and heavy ballpeen hammer. Bucking bar on outside, then peen the pointed end into a rivet head. Will hold tight. Same as in aircraft structure. What do you think?

Message to Dad- handy cooking tip, when cooking peeled potatoes with oil, a dusting of plain flour on the spuds gives such a nice, crispy coating. I swear by it for my roasties!

Nuts in Nova Scotia three weeks ago. There's a Chestnut tree at bus stop I use; provides nice shade and protection from rain but hard on the head when nuts start falling.
