The video shows the entire project which took 2 and a half months of work. It begins with the making of a thatched A-frame hut as a workshop for making tiles. The tiles were made from clay and fired in a kiln made from bricks made in previous videos. A 2x2 m hut was then built by making two walls of mud in the shape of a wall and gable. Between 1.25 and 1.6 tons of soil were used to make these walls. The roof was formed by spanning the two walls with timber that was then covered with tiles. The hut shed rain reasonably well but it remains to be seen how it will fair in the long wet season which is starting now. The main benefit of this hut is how little material is used in the walls considering that there are no side walls, significantly reducing labor and materials. It will be an experiment in how this building method works. 00:00 - Building the tile workshop 05:20 - Clay preparation 08:11 - Making roof tiles 12:18 - Building kiln 13:53 - Fire by friction 15:46 - Stacking kiln 17:20 - Firing tile batch 1 18:47 - Result and water test 20:51 - Firing tile batch 2 24:18 - Firing tile batch 3 (plus small pot) 27:31 - Making next round of tiles 32:16 - Building the hut foundations 33:31 - Building mud walls 35:15 - Protecting walls from rain 36:21 - Finishing walls 37:46 - Timber roof 39:31 - Tiling roof 40:33 - Firing batch 4 and tiling 43:46 - Firing batch 5 and tiling 44:40 - Firing batch 6 and tiling 46:01 - Finished hut 46:28 - Hut in a rainstorm 47:31 - Hearth fire in hut About Primitive Technology: Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials.
