Skills

A compilation of video snippets of a 1700's style homestead being built:

Of course, there are bunches of videos posted during the three year process, that go in-depth on each activity. Some of these I know how to do, others I don't. I can...

1. Build with logs, although it would be butt&pass, not saddle-notch.
2. Build a dirt-daubber chimney with mudcats.
3. Rive shingles.

I've never made and fired bricks, don't know diddle about blacksmithing and I've never tried to make a wattle fence.

None of this stuff is as easy as it looks. Imagine the varied skills it took to carve a farm out of wilderness.
