Building a Celtic Roundhouse with Hand Tools: Bushcraft Project (PART 1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- We build a bushcraft celtic roundhouse in the forest using hand tools only. In part 1 we collect timber resources, and cut logs ready for the foundations of the bushcraft shelter. The hand tools we will be using for this build are: axe, knife, saw, drawknife and an auger. To begin with we clear a site ready for the construction to begin. We cut a large log using the metre long silky saw. This is to be used for chopping logs. We then re-built our saw horse that we had made in the bushcraft viking house series. We hewed it flat with some wood wedges and axes. Then we made new legs for it. This was also used as a bark peeling jig. We cut 14 logs from the nearby area (all the wood in the immediate area is being forested and we had permission to use these resources). We de-barked the logs and burnt the ends of them. This is an ancient Japanese technique, which helps to make the logs more rot-resistant when they are buried in the ground. These 14 logs will become our vertical posts. The wood we are using is cedar. This is commonly used for Log Cabi building across Europe, especially Scandinavia. It is very rot resistant and although not the hardest of woods, it has proved well when we have built with it in the past. The Celts occupied what we know as Britain over 2,000 years ago. Around the year 500BC. They were incredibly resourceful people and very tribal. Their houses were known as a roundhouse. In the north of England the walls were made with stone, and in the south of Britain they were made with wood as there was more wood available. The roof was thatched and the house had a central firepit with sleeping areas around the outside. This is an important part of British and Irish History and we hope you enjoy joining us on this adventure!
In Part 2 we will continue to build the foundation and start to put together the timber frame. We will also be including cooking, feasts and more adventures! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode!

The Celts are a huge part of our history! We can't wait to bring you guys along on the adventure! Watch PART 2 here: ua-cam.com/video/dNIDCJ2HrJs/v-deo.html Keep up to date with every episode here: ua-cam.com/play/PLxnadpeGdTxC1z7ODd-UYXvzdal9nnt9i.html
Are a huge part of UK history, some of us are still here.
@@rialobran I'm asian but I enjoy reading about the Britain's history.
Gotta say been a fan of your other builds, but this one is the one I've been waiting for. I've been toying with building a yurt or a roundhouse the last few months, can't wait to see how your's turns out.
Hope you only sawed one of the big ones. and then off camera used a saw... with an motor.. brrmmm brmmm... no one will know.. and I wont tell.. I promise :0
Gotta love dogs.. they always know where something happens, and where they can be most in the way for what someone is trying to do..
And she is even raised to not get her paws dirt.. sitting on the bench like a lady..
Interesting fact: If you google 'Celtic Roundhouse' your video is one of the first hits. No joke.
I saw "celtic roundhouse"... I thought I would be seeing someone getting kicked in the face by a Celt. But, this is just as good. Lol.
Would of been a great thumbnail for the video hahaha some caloric guy in the woods with ripped abs round housing some other dude hahahaha
Love the beginning,
“That’s not a knife... THIS is a Knife” [or saw]
I SAW that in a movie once
@@gamingteddy1920 "Crocodile Dundee"...
Ha, so that's a Celtic breadknife... No one's going to steal their batch 😊
Nice build Mike! this one was to be expected and now we are late to the party...;) We have been planning to build a Celtic roundhouse in Ireland for months, will start in two weeks or so. Ours will be from stone & thatched with rushes. Come drink a cup of tea when it's done;)
Ah that sounds awesome guys! Would love to have built one from stone. I wish you all the best with the build and thank you for the invite! I would like to take you up on that one day :)
In this weather? It hasn't stopped raining on the east coast all week. Good luck, build fast, will check ye out.
Dog, "This is where my master sits, it does not matter that it is uncomfortable, I'm sitting here when he is not, because I can."
Dogs are just too good.
I liked her throne - I'd forgotten how much dogs seem to love a viewing platform.
She watches the work so closely that I'm surprised she's not covered in splinters like a porcupine. What a good dog 👍
Little tip with your saws. Remove the bark where the saw will be cutting because little particles of sand dust clay and rock get caught in the bark. All these particles dull the saws teeth as you cut through the bark. If you remove the bark it’ll make your saws last a lot longer. But smashing lumbering action going on here perfect cuts. Great vids
Thank you for this tip! I was wondering why my saws kept getting so dull all the time and this explains it!
I enjoy knowing that Celtic peoples were already beyond 'Bushcrafting!" Iron tools, decent joinery and the lot gave them a lot more shelter than today's 'outers' are willing to allow for! That star pattern for toasting the base of you foundation logs is BRILLIANT! Silky is promoting the Katana Boy Professional 1000...you and Dustin are putting it to best use! Survival Russia gave a demonstration of it last weekend in his download. I think of 'Celts' as being a multi-tribal ethnic group. Another highly interesting series.
9:20 "In Britain, we have a lot of history .…" Understatement of the week award! :)
My family is largely from ireland and most likely from Scandinavia by proxy, I take alot of pride in it, so watching this makes me really happy
That log at the beginning, man would I love a chopping board from that. That was just beautiful. Always looking forward to seeing what you come up. Also love seeing the dog, lol.
I would love to make a small table with some
Love seeing you and Dustin working together in your vids, I know it is not always possible to do them all together, but man, when you guys do, BAM, awesome. When your dad is there... BAM... now all three of you SUPER BAM LOL. Great vid, looking forward to the series on all the channels.
Thanks for reviving part of our culture 🇮🇪🏴🏴🏴
That’s the biggest folding saw I’ve seen in my life, I think the Grimm Reaper has one of those in his collection
Some of my family may have fought along side your family in chasing the vikings out of our land. A large number of my family built ships and came to americas in 1664. The leader was said to be Luke Toole. Our family bible was burned in the civil war. Many times the family elders talked of the bible that was lost and what they remembered. I have been a fan of you work for several months. Thank you for taking on sharing history with the world. A. B. Toole
I love the dog's posture...like a boss, in 17:50 .When i first saw your video, was one called "3 day solo" etc, and my first thought was "looks nice , though lots of stuff to do, but i would take my dog with me". And in here, i see this, it makes me smile:)
It feels so good to see you both back in action. And Mike i think (@15:52) Amber wanted to tell that she Loves you because if a labrador acts like this is a sign of Love. She's trying to tell you that you're part of the family. But one thing I know exactly this Project is already a blast.
Lol I can't wait for some more overnight camping and cooking! It's one of my favorite parts personally but that's just the chef in me
I love these videos with you guys talking and just being you while doing these projects. Much better than the all in one video ones in my opinion.
Do you understand what a great and cool thing is that you are making these houses? Maybe someday they will save someones life from the grim weather, or animals. I really like the calm atmosphere from these videos... it is so warming. Thanks
Love the way Amber is sat in the chair 👍
"Can't start the build without a cup of tea"
You know me bro!
You can make you're own creosote if you put a funnel and a coffee can under your fire. The oils will collect everytime you make a fire. It doesn't create alot per fire but it does add up.
Do you have a link to the gloves you are wearing in this video?
BUSHCRAFT TOOLS so let's make a cup coffee bro
Celts were from Britain and Ireland they wanna cross two old traditions
I watched Lars at Survival Russia yesterday with that saw, the price of it would buy you a roundhouse.
Roundhouses were the standard dwelling for centuries so they must have been a very successful reliable form of housing, looking forward to this build.
Wow you got me excited again I think this is going to be a beauty won't you please use your uttmost craftsmanship that you have shown in the past on this baby I'm going to be watching on average once a week waiting for the dramatic climax seeing a new Little House in the woods hey guys and I'm so glad Dustin is with you Mike but both of you guys thanks for the great entertainment down my alley which I love
Next Series: "Building Roman Infrastructure with Hand Tools", where you build a bunch of roads between all the houses
I'm so stucked on my professional life that i can't go outdoors, camping, fishing and etc anymore. Your videos are almost like camping to me, it warms my heart. I really loved your channel and i would like to join every house building, bushcraft or trips that you and your dad have made. Thank you so much to bring me this outdoor spirit on my borring and tiring life.
Greetings from Brazil.
My god that dog is cute.
I love how she just sits there facing the camera as if she is gracing us with her beauty and regalness...lol
Who else here clicked the like button before the video even started?
What the problem with that?
Who didn't might be a better question.
Thats easy to do with these guys.....
Oh no that’s against the rules.
Jennifer Brewer me
cool project guys there getting better and better,and there's amber sitting up on some logs watching and protecting like a beautiful gargoyle,cant wait for part 2!
Watching you guys make that sawhorse makes me marvel at the Pyramid makers who used a similar technique to cut stone - and with only copper chisels!
You've practically built an entire village in the woods. Amazing!
You don't know how it warms my heart to see you guys with a proper chopping block. Oh, yes, and proper seating for the pup.
I just stumbled across this series, it's absolutely fascinating! Looking forward to seeing the outcome!
Just watched a short historic piece on round houses. And I gotta say, I am very excited to see what you guys come up with. So far, everything you guys have built has been pretty cool. Keep up the show guys. You're doing great.
The work yall put into this is so under appreciated. How the heck has this Chanel not blown up yet???
Once you conquered the Thatching, I KNEW there would be a Round House. The archeologists on Time Team figured some of those round houses lasted 200 years, if they got regular maintenance. Time Team built a round house on the series,... Salisbury Plains... it takes ONE TON of thatch to cover the roof of a round house! Well, depending on the size. That's ambitious on your part, and I can't wait to watch this grow.
If you conquer this round house, you are half way there, to building a Pueblo Pit House ... and there were several styles throughout the ages. The Basket Weaver era would probably suit your skill set and resource materials. See if you can find a Time Team America- the first episode: Lost Pueblo Village.
Amber knows the best place in November 👍👍
Great video Mike. Nice to see you working with Dustin again... Looking forward to the series
The Celts did have pull saws, actually! Smaller than that one, of course, but I've just been on a Celtic Iron Age video binge and saw a historian show off a replica of one.
Bro so excited for this project. The project builds with Dustin are phenomenal - great Bushcraft skills and he always cooks up a feast. You both make a great team Mike. Thanks for this new series! 👍🏻
Love how Amber is just sitting on the bench like "Wow, they are building me another house?! Spectacular!" 😂
You two have spoiled me…I can’t get into other bush crafters. You are great individually…and you make a great 👍🏻 team! Love from Joy in Sarasota, Florida USA ❤️😎
I am irish and i can say i am going to love this.
I haven't watched this video yet but I am STOKED that you're building a roundhouse. I have been fascinated, nay obsessed, with this structure for years. I'm excited!
So excited for this build. Are you going to have your dad in this one to, like the Viking build? Can’t wait to see what this series is going to bring. Yes. Also. Can’t wait for the feast. Dustin is an amazing cook.
😁 The dog is just chilling, having a seat, keeping warm By the fire. 🐕
My son has a dog like him, he is very smart and fun to be around.
roger davis
Nice 👍
Never heard of a silky saw before, but I have now. What an amazing bit of kit.
More videos with Dustin please, his knowledge and sense of humour adds a whole new dimension to these building films.
The way that dog is sitting with one leg hanging off that seat is adorable!
I love that you took the time to appreciate that beautiful piece of wood
I just love how your dog is sitting in that camp chair!!!!
Another great start to what will be an epic series! I am enjoying this and look forward to all the videos to the end,
How funny Amber! She is sitting on something and not letting her bottom touch the ground! She wants to help so much!
I miss Jack but she is too funny too!
The tree that you have cut like that can tell you a lot about that area. You can read the rings and see interesting things like colder winters and rainfall and other things too like forest fires. The last 20 years that you looked at and commented on looks like it has been drier seasons than in the past. Well from the trees perspective.
I hope Dustin is not compensating for something with that big saw. Looking forward to this series guys. A round house. Damn awesome.
Amber trying to perch on the saw horse ...hilarious!
Yayyyy, a brand new series. This Celtic Roundhouse is going to be epic.. I love the renovation of the old sawhorse from the Viking series and so interesting to see how you marked out the foundations. Shared this and @Bushcrafttools videos to my personal FB and Twitter, so looking forward to part 2, now I better get back to editing my own video to upload to my channel. 👍
Great start Guy's 👍👍
I love that Amber was just chilling on the bench for so long! Ha
Great video Mike, look forward to the rest of this series. On your intro you spoke like the Celts were a long lost people, when in fact we are still here and thriving in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Cornwall, although we no longer live in roundhouses. 😁
That log had the most beautiful rings I have ever seen. I just, I felt it in the pit of my stomach the beauty of that tree.
Yeah, made me feel kind of sad it was cut down. Glad they appreciated it though.
You are looking like the smartest guy in the room, right now!
I hope you contact the local public schools and can offer tours for the children to come and see these wonderful structures. It would be a great learning experience for them... Keep up the great work.... Joe
WOW THAT IS ONE BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF WOOD!!!
I came here to watch some good old bark peeling and was not dissapointed! 😃
Love the pup! "Im sitting pretty on camera, you guys work"
silky saw are the best,you Will enjoy them for the years to come.
Amber just really wants to be involved. She is too cute!
Suggestion: look up “Must Farm in Cambridgeshire, UK”. It will give you some of the most historically accurate facts about Celtic roundhouses.
The tree u cut with the katana boy 1000 had some beautiful grain u both do a fantastic job together thank u
I'm jealous of your weather (I know few people are jealous of the weather in England!). Here in Quebec, we got 5-6 months of thick snow in the winter and scorching temps for 3-4 months in summer with mosquitoes infesting most forests.
ARRGGH how can you call it an episode if Dustin doesn't cook something?!?! Well, at least this will help my diet plans - usually after seeing him whip up a meal I wander into the kitchen looking for something half as tasty-looking as what he made.
That is so cool. I’ve never seen anyone build a Celtic round house. Much different than when you build a regular house LOL. Thanks for sharing
Talk about saw envy.
"Call that a saw? Now that's a saw LOL
Love the impromptu work bench or buck horse. watching these videos I really see your skill build on each other, keep it up.
Amazing - you could have a complete history park there when you're done!
Whereas it's true that you're not using old authentic tools all the time, it's also true that you don't have a tribe of Celts to help you so it levels the field a little for you.
Also nobody's raiding their cattle between takes 😁
another great series from you and dustin looking forward upcoming videos and amber is so cute
Of all the bush build you sir do the very best work. Bravo. My buddy and I plan on doing one soon and you have given such good reference work. Thanks guys cheers from the USA.
First, this is going to be an incredible brilliant build. Two, Dustin has a Celtic weapon that he is using as a saw. And three, that Amber has grown into a beautiful mature dog. I can't wait for the next one teachers.
Late comer to this project. I like the roundhouse theme. Look forward to watching the progress.
I tell ya, those videos really get my juices flowin... Ahhh yes, like oil to my pistons..
ผมเป็นคนไทยคนหนึ่ง ที่ชอบดูรายการแบบนี้ ชอบมากครับ
So excited to watch this build! ❤❤❤
As usual a great watch🙂👍. Looking forward to part 2.
in the future you can make use of the builds so much, if you make a village it could be an actual attraction where people go to camp etc
Love these historical build series, can’t wait to see just how epic this Celtic build gets 💪
If I was a tree and saw TA outdoors approaching, I would fall over of my own free will just to get into a build 😂
Ha, you took all the Celtic house ideas. Start buying the stone tools for the Roman era build!
And you'll have great food this time. Well done lads, well done.
Okay here is a little info from a Celt from across the pond. The roundhouses walls were a woven wicker style ranging from 2 to 4 meters (3 - 12 feet ) tall. From what I have learned the taller ones were for storing fodder for the livestock during the winter months. the roofs were like your Saxon house thatched with either straw or reeds. Some of the wicker walls were cobbed. Also, some were elevated off the ground a couple of feet and had planked floors. Some were single-family dwellings and really big ones had two or more families. So that is what I have for ya. have fun.
Your intro was hilarious. Though honestly, when you flicked your saw open, for a moment I thought you where closing the breach on a side by side shotgun (the window on my laptop was not very large so detail was lost) til you had it open and held it still. but when your friend pushed you aside and opened his I broke out in laughter. A great opening... I am looking forward to seeing more of this series. I have always wanted to build a round house mini cabin but I always had trouble figuring out the roof for such. My problem is I can only really think of 3 primary ways to go. Rafters and a soft top, Rafters with a woven and thatched roof, or break out the power tools and build a shingled roof. I look forward to seeing your answer to how to properly roof a round house.
A cedar forest... I bet it smells wonderful!
Great!!! A village! Your passion is addictive! Good to have Justin and his beautiful dog companion along for this build! Love the builds. Thanxz
I teach lessons on trees to elementary school students. We do "tree cookies", look at crosscut slabs and try to figure out the life history of that tree. Your opening clip is perfect, I'll be using it!
Absolutely love your dog!
Man I enjoy every video you make , it's like I am watching m favourite cartoon when I was 8 .
Aww the start of a great new build! Guess I'm going to be late for work.... 👀
Worth it
Dang it, me too!
@@TAOutdoors agreed totally worth it! Who needs a job right? 😉
You could also leave a section of overhang on either side of the building for storage of firewood and whatever. And have access from both inside and out.
I know it would mean a bit more roofing, but might be worth it.
Great video Mike and Justin, keep up the good work! You always come up with brilliant ideas for videos! Merry Christmas Mike and his family and Justin and his family, all the best Barney. 🎄🎄🎄
Clicked like after 22 seconds, I knew it was going to be good.
Jeebus thats a massive saw. You planning on cut down a redwood.😁😁😁
Enjoyed this one too. I would love to see another "Fire Pit" build, however, this time to include the stone lined pit AND air channel to feed it all done at the same time.
Maybe "Chef Dustin" could make another "Propeller Lamb" meal. I am blown away just looking at the meals he cooks....would love to try one someday!
The Historical builds are the best. Well done!
