I don't know if this has been posted before, but this is amazing and I just wanted to share it.

man that is comfy
In another video he talks about the heating costs of the house. It only requires 5 cubic metres of firewood during the 6 cold months. Which is pretty amazing as well.
Thats amazing
I picture us building houses like that, but prolly simpler, when I watch that
😊
Tbh I'm very comfy in a simple house
as long as I have a window to look out of when it rains

Tea is also a good choice.

great video
tfw want to make a hobby forge in my garage and start metal working
sounds comfy
totally is. I need to remake my forge, possiably use coal instead of propane this time but I need a bigger space for that
what have you made in the past?
got the anvil tho, which is the hardest thing to acquire
nothing yet. I just fucked around with different kinds of metal to see how they work. I also melted copper to its liquid form
I really enjoy stuff like this though. its really fun
post pics if you make more stuff
will do
@Orchid where do we discuss home building techniques and ideas? Is this the place?
yes
I've been really interested in this topic lately. Who else is interested in it? How do people here feel about ancient or classical building methods (timber and log) vs more modern (using OSB and vapor barriers, etc.)
im curious wether log buildings have any advantages over modern methods
I have some ideas for natural building. Modern techniqeus don't appeal to me
I've studied this quite a bit... it depends on how you configure the logs
the main problem with logs is how it traps mosture between logs, so it's better to design them in a way where the logs aren't touching, and you put chinking in between...
log homes, the way they're currently being built, require a lot of maintenance and upkeep, and aren't quite as efficient. I was enamored by them for a long time, until I discovered timber framing
