Pretty fascinating. I like shows like primitive technology for showing what really early construction looks like and even on to the middle ages, and shows like grand designs to show some of the more novel modern construction methods, but I haven't spent much time learning about the middle times, where people have access to high quality tools, but not necessarily access to supply chains or industrial production. Really neat.
I’ve spent the last five summers working on restoring a house with a similar construction to the one in the video (but much bigger) alongside professional carpenters using traditional methods. Since they are usually stretched pretty thin, sometimes I’ve been helping out when someone is missing. One time I helped out peeling and shaping a log with the axe. My hands have never hurt as much as they did the next day, so many blisters. I think the gloves make it worse since your hands get sweaty. The video was really interesting, I’ve put in flooring and insulated with sawdust in the same way as they do in the video, with some variation. Around where we put the iron stove we opted for a more fireproof insulation and instead of dried moss between the logs we used flax fibers.
