Building A Forest Kitchen With My Dog In The Wilderness

Video Description

This episode is all about learning how to make joints for the timber frame when all the beams are hand-hewn. The challenge with hand-hewn timbers is that you don’t have a perfect edge or surface to measure from. That’s why I attended the Northmen two-week timber framing course, to really dive deep into how they did it hundreds of years ago. The joint I’m making in this video is an old Japanese joint called “Watari Ago Niju Hozo Shiguchi.” It’s used to connect the post beams I made in the previous episode. You’ll notice a tightened string running underneath the beams, that’s my reference line for when the posts are sitting on the stones. It’s a much easier system than having to redo all the scribing and transferring if I accidentally bump into the beam. In the next video, I’m hoping to finish all the necessary joints for the timber frame, now with my new knowledge. 🪓 I’m selling my first ever axe! 👉 https://www.grankvist-outdoors.com/products/grankvist-axe?srsltid=AfmBOoo7jR6HMBfdxkmeVv29bMTjzLj8RqsOyqPReybP92536viclJQ_ It’s hand-forged and handmade by three incredibly skilled makers.

I can only make a few at a time, so you have to be first to buy one when a new batch is released. Every board is signed by hand with its own unique number, representing how every cutting board is unique. They are made from hard nordic oak, making them extremely durable, holding up for a lifetime of abuse. Instead of having a plastic cutting board that really should be thrown away after 2 years. I was told that my dream of selling handmade products wouldn’t work in today's world where everything is mass produced. I want to prove them wrong. My goal is to expand into other handmade products. Making a series of lifetime quality handmade goods. Breaking free from mass production, supporting our environment.
