This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Round Wood Woodworking.

While building a house may be out of reach at the moment, let's get some practice putting together smaller structures.  Maybe your new garden needs a garden shed.  Or you need a place to keep the tools by your chainsaw bear carving station.  Or to hold campfire wood out by the fire pit.  Let's build a little shed and practice round wood joinery at the same time!

Here are some pictures of something like what we want.  Maybe they're a bit fancier than needed but you get the idea:
   


Here's a fairly rough build but it would do the trick:


Minimum requirements:
  - At least 6' headroom inside
  - At least 6' wide
  - At least 3' deep
  - Made with a round wood frame
  - At least three solid walls
  - Can be permanent or skiddable/moveable
  - No wood touching the ground
  - 90% natural materials by weight (plywood isn't natural)

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Floor structure mostly done
  - Roundwood frame erected
  - Finished shelter
  - If the unnatural materials you used are anywhere near 10% of the build, explain why you fall within the 90% natural requirement
 
Let's get him boys! We'll make him read this tiny ad!
