Artist, researcher, teacher & re-enactor exploring aspects of art, pre-history, experimental archaeology in a video diary style. Having a growing background in theatre, ancient history & early literature there is much to present and explore with song and poetry. Combining all facets of my practice there are videos which investigate these various branches of knowledge. After many seasons working largely in Craggaunowen, Co. Clare - there is yet much to be explored as a tour guide/re-enactor for practical demonstrations and drama workshops with the use of storytelling and mythical sagas.

Where cars do not go. Might get a tractor up this way. Beware! Slippery, muddy surface. Wear good boots.

Hard to get to without a machete. May have been the house of an old druid.

I like your fence concept. Is daub the same thing as Cobb (sand, straw and clay)?
Your socks kick ass
We are not Berber we are" Amazigh " the oldest people who lived north of Africa ⵣ
Since this video I have been using the correct term Amazigh. Those who don't know the term are educated by me. Believe me when I say I know how you feel. When people call the Irish Celts, it's just thru ignorance. We were largely Gaels during the time of the Celts of Europe. The Celtic DNA is more common here after 1200. Amazigh DNA was more prevalent in Ireland before the Gaels, particularly the west coast up to 4 and a half thousand years ago.
You are soooo luckyyy🧙♂️
I’m trying to teach this to myself for use in coding
Great idea! Good luck!
they used clay in 🏰 2
Thank you so much for teaching these old skills, that shouldn't be old. These skills should be required classes for young people. Learn to survive.
As well you know - this is just the tip of the ice berg in your practice. You've been doing this since you watched Dead Poets Society in the 80's.
Doing so on KAUAI with lots of haole Koa saplings. Made a wattle lawnmower rack with 5 aluminum lengths that fit atop bumper and under back door on my suv. Then tie ends to roof rack k. Aloha
Yessssah!
Oh man... I gotta fix this house.. bad timing of the year. Being it our bathroom especially.. and in use You polish in uk ?
Hi Stef. Just subscribed. You may remember me from Vyners. Nice video and pics of Hillingdon. I still go back there frequently.
Is that you Jeremy? Wow! Long time! Great to hear from you.
@@craggyhole Yep. Lost all my mousy hair decades ago. I also went back to Vyners to teach 1-1 from 2002 - 2016. Hope all is well.
@@PianoandKeysStudio life is good! My hair!? Lets say I couldn't sport an 80's style anymore! Good to be in touch.
Thank you Stefan
Thanks a Lot
Lovely ❤
Oh shit

😊 Great harvest of contentment on the farm. 😊
Thanks for this upload, Stefan. I'm wanting to add a wattle and daub porch to my little cob roundhouse I built 4 years ago so have a question. I used the clay from the area I cleared to do my built but added sand to the clay and straw. It dried like concrete and is grand so if I don't add sand to the mix will it crack and be less resistant to the weather? I'm 750 m above sea level in Portugal and hope to use coppiced mimosa. Would really appreciate your opinion. ❤
@@maggietaylor9713 I'm hearing a lot about sand in the mix and must try it for myself! If it's working for you then I say do it! I have only researched building methods from Ireland and have started looking at Britain. It seems to me that you use what is around you, wherever you are. That's what I do.
@@craggyholeThanks for feedback Stefen, unfortunately I had to buy in the sand to built my wee house. The cob man said unless my clay ratio in the soil was about 25% to loam and stones I'd need to add sand or it would crack. Have you started on your wee house and what mix are you doing? Taking your feedback I think the external daub will be cob and I'll do the inside with your mix plus goat poo from my gals. Much appreciated and greetings from Portugal 😊
@@maggietaylor9713 thank you. My latest short is the start of the latest shelter. Not sure about a mix yet. Stay tuned!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
With the wattles make ten around 5 10 feet and 5 8.84 and then every other one switch and then you have a perfect base walls for the geo dome makes a lovely greenhouse . Try the technique you have for the walls would look nice paint them up even when it dries .
You can use the nice log that you are sitting on to make a nice upright platform for it and build even a green house for your gardens with a dome ,
Now we want to see you build a Geo dome! 30 A at 10 foot and 35 B at 8.8 then wattle it and clay to seal makes a nice thing yes! Try that eh!
6 1/2 red clay and 1 1/2 water 1 1/2 straw 1 1/2 sand mix up and apply like the brick mix for mortars
I remember when I was a girl, I came across one of these 'stick insects' in the garden. When it moved I was very shocked!
Thank you!
In places like that, hot summer nights are full of biting midges! Nice plot, darling! I love it!
@@nancydevlin65 not many midges around here! They've been making too many burgers out of them!
Too cold, darling.... It's not muggy enough
Awesome mate Thank you 🎉
All looking splendido!
Wow,, amazing content you have. New Subscriber from Philippines
Beautiful. I need to build a goat enclosure, so this will be perfect!
That's exactly what I'm going to do! How's is going so far?
Anyone one besides me noticed the Arabic Alphabet in the Barber ?
There is some historical evidence of Irish/Celtic trade and sailing with the Fertile Crescent. Even the Vikings had records of visits to Constantinople
If you mean the small goatskin panel, it was made by an Amazigh artist who put in the Arabic and English alphabet equivalent letters for me.
Sounds like an iron age light saber ⚡👍
Well done Stefan, the end of Spring, the edge of summer and a coating of winter and autumn far away. Three season's clashing with the skies flashing, the ground went white oh what a sight, nature's might, we were home before the night..... Neilus 🤣👍⚡⚡⚡⚡
Go raibh maith agat Neilus! 4 seasons within a half hour! The weather can be so interesting in Ireland.
and that Is for!?
Instruction unclear. Chopped me hands off with a machete (typed this with my feet)

Teaching is a talent mate. Very fine film you made. Thanks. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷.
Fermosa canción, saúdos dende a terra dos Milesians, espero xa non haxa xenreira entre nós😉😅
Aínda somos gaélicos e milesianos por aquí curmán. Moitas grazas!
@@craggyhole Boa mistura😊! Noraboa polo teu traballo de recuperación do patrimonio. Saúdos curmá!!
Shut. Up.
Merci from Montreal Canada
Watching this I can almost hear my Celtic/Gaelic ancestors whisper on the winds, "Pill do'n tìr, a mhic"
I love your accent 😍

Well, what happens when it rains? Done a fireplace from clay and it lasted one winter.
It will erode in the rain. How fast? Depends on your environment and what type of clay. I used common garden clay, but I think the straw helped - again - from the garden. This type of wall would ordinarily be part of architecture, so it would have a roof over it. This demo is only to show how to build a wattle and daub wall.
Stone heating process is unnecessarily complicated. First build tower from stones only, then prop wood against that tower on three sides. That way you can remove flaming wood easier and not dragging it into water. No need to sort stone from wood and ash, just push stones into water one by one. 👍
Thank you Oskar for your advice. I will definitely follow your suggested method the next time. You just made my life easier! Especially after failing with the above method in front of a film crew! The less said about it, the better! 😉
Better than a 30 year mortgage !
Little tip for those that don’t know , just chamfer the top of hour posts and they won’t split when you bang them in . 😀👍🇬🇧🔭🦔
Just gather a bunch of 6 year olds and you'd have enthusiastic workers for as long as you had daub to sling!!
This is perfect for this fantasy that I am creating. I am so glad I found your channel. Thank you.
