How is it holding up with just PVA? My first one has copper nails and brass corners.
After about 5 years, this one is a little tired, but the PVA joints are still quite good. Looking to make a few more out of oak.
This is a fantastic video. I am so glad I found your channel. Keep doing stuff!
Thank you I appreciate your comment.
62cm = ~24inches/2 feet in the (Roman) Imperial system of measurement. 20cm =~8 inches, 25cm =~10 inches. Nominal 1 inch dressed boards are actually 3/4 inch or ~19mm. A modern 'normal' seat height is 18 inches/~45cm. The numbers associated with the Oseberg (Assa's Mound) find are actually the individual item number within the grave - it was a very early 'scientific' excavation unlike what had gone on before. Unlike most other grave sites where there were multiple graves which got their own grave number and then a series of individual item numbers within each grave - e.g. Birka which has numbered graves as well as general find areas like 'The Garrison'.
Thanks Bruce - excellent info.
At the end of the video, you mention doing the carving in the next video. Did you ever make the carving video?
No, I haven't done a carved chest as yet as they don't seem to have been very common historically based on archaeology during that period. But, I'd like to do another chest again soon - so who knows.
@@Medieval_Mayhem lucky, I was just about to search for it
@@Emrys2021 nice
Powertools rule!! I use them on my builds on my channel aswell. I make viking style chest quite often.
Thanks.
Cool project and result! How did you make the grooves on the sides panels?
Thanks. Somehow I lost that footage. I adjusted the hight of the circular saw blade so that it just cut around 1cm of the side panels.
@@Medieval_Mayhem Cheers. I'm a beginner so I'm a bit lost, so you adjusted the blade to go like 1cm deep, ok. But how did you remove the inside after you cur the borders of the groove?
@@Kwiskaseden If you want to cut a 2cm wide, 1cm deep chanel - you keep cutting with the circular saw lines about 2mm appart and then just use a chisel to table the wood out. And a file to clean up.
@@Medieval_Mayhem I see. Cheers for the input!
@@Kwiskaseden Cool.
What thinkers of wood you used
The wood is 18mm thick from memory.
You could probably 'forage' Scrap pieces (of wood) To make this project
Possibly, I do these videos for the majority of re-enactors who will most likely go to a hardware store or timber yard to purchase dressed timber. Yes, you could dress your own timber boards - and that'd be fine if you have access to suitable timber.
@@Medieval_Mayhem Fair enough... Also (depending where you live) If you have a Local Saw Mill You can save on local rough cut lumber
That’s a few hundred dollars worth of lumber today.
Hi, the timber I used on that probably cost around $140 plus metal fittings.
@@Medieval_Mayhem
I was actually trying to make a timely joke, but that’s even more than I was expecting 😬 😊
Planning on making one soon too. Great video 👍
@@gabrielsyme4180 Ha! Thanks Lucas. Yep, timber can be expensive here in Australia, especially after the big fires the other year.
Good luck on your project.
@@Medieval_MayhemI managed to score 3x that lumber for the same price
@@Emrys2021 Yeah, if you hunt around you can get cheaper timber.
