Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Joshua constructs a foundation for a canvas wall tent in the woods of Nova Scotia, Canada, using spruce logs as support posts.0:47 To mitigate rot, he strips the bark from the logs and applies a mixture of linseed oil, pine tar, and turpentine, known as boat soup, to the base of each post.6:50 He avoids concrete footings to save costs and prevent gaps caused by shrinking green logs, opting instead to set each post on a large convex rock within a backfilled hole.9:12 A laser level ensures the posts remain plumb and aligned before he trims them to a uniform height with a chainsaw.9:22 He installs 6x3 hemlock carrying beams and salvaged 2x4 spruce joists, securing them with structural screws.14:40 The structure incorporates decorative OG-shaped ends carved into the beams using a chainsaw and a sculpting gouge.16:51 The platform serves as a temporary base for a wall tent originally purchased in 2021.14:52
