Re: building a yurt for the winter...

Here is the progress so far. It will need a few more joists put in depending on the angle that the floor boards cross, but I'm getting there.

I'm building a wool picker to fluff out raw wool for...

Re: building a yurt for the winter...

More work on the platform today. The base for the platform is finished. Next I have to cut 2x6's to make the platform. Lots of mill work.

Here is my home made circle jig. It did a great job. Now I...

Re: building a yurt for the winter...

I will look into finding some quality paracord and try to get up the nerve to tie that many knots

Re: building a yurt for the winter...

Thanks guys,
I don't want dangling nails either. I was thinking about putting the heads on the inside. You make a good point about breaking the lath.

I didn't want to tie 2000 knots but maybe I...

Re: building a yurt for the winter...

Thanks for the info on assembling the lath. I was thinking about using nails and bending them over. Does anyone have opinions on that?

Here is my progress so far. The deck frame is complete and I...

Re: building a yurt for the winter...

Thanks. I will keep that in mind. I wanted to avoid brackets on the floor but it's an idea.

Re: building a yurt for the winter...

Hi Jafo,
That interesting. Is there a cable along the bottom perimeter? I wasn't planning on using poles along the wall to hold up the roof but I like that idea.

Re: building a yurt for thi winter...

Hello all.
I thought I would give an update. Cutting the lath then putting them in a bending jig while still wet worked great. They didn't take long to dry because they are so small. I have about...

I thought I would share my progress so far. I cut down 2 beech trees, both had hearts that were less than perfect but I worked around them. I have about 62 slats so far, about half of what I will...
