Add one horizontal log to berm/hugelkultur scaffolding - PEP BB roundwood.sand.scaffolding

A horizontal log for scaffolding on a huglekulture. It fit really tight. A tree log was used to smack it in place.

This was a fun one and excellent learning experience. The key is to start your notches small and check to see your cuts line up to each other.
Not sure which works better, naturally you'll want to cut into the log the way it lies instead of vertical to the sky or gravity...
I made a vertical cut and Mike made a more horizontal cut. Both seemed to fit snug proving the joinery of this type of building is solid.

At the fall 2019 PEP Jamboree, I added a horizontal log to a Hugelkultur scaffold. This is north of the Fischer Price house, behind the gate.

Thanks to Fred and Josiah for teaching me lots about woodworking and roundwood woodworking on the way to this BB, and also for tolerating my foggi-headedness as I did this while I had a cold.

Today I added a horizontal beam to the hugel scaffolding at wheaton labs. Here’s how it went:

Here's my first round wood project.

Here is my submission for the Roundwood Woodworking - Sand - Add one horizontal log to berm/hugelkultur scaffolding BB.

At the PJT, I installed a horizontal log on the new section of hugelkultur scaffolding near the Fisher-Price House.  The log is from one of the trees that fell a couple of weeks ago as the PDc was getting started.  

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following:

  - Your chunks of wood that you are starting with
  - Action pic about halfway through
  - Final product

Based on the PTJ event, we added a requirement.  Any submissions in the next week are grandfathered under the old requirements (first three pics only).

Added a horizontal log to a hugel scaffold. Log was about 8ft long. Used a combination of chainsaw, axe and chisel/mallet.

I added a horizontal log to a berm scaffold at Wheaton Labs! It took a few tries of placing it, seeing where my notches needed more cutting, cutting it, placing it again, etc. Overall I'm happy with the result.

Here is my BB submission for the berm scaffold:

This was done during the SKIP event at Wheaton Labs.  Of the batch of available logs, we picked the smallest for this location because it had to be lifted to the most awkward spot.  It is not touching dirt and it is relatively high and dry so hopefully it still lasts for a quite a few years.

Requirements:

To get certified for this BB, post four pics or video (<2 min).  

 - Your chunks of wood that you are starting with
 - Action pic about half way through
 - Final product
 - Indication of the strength and stability of the scaffold log.  Examples could include:
    - You standing on your log
    - You and some friends sitting on your log
    - Creative alternatives?
