Don't sweat looking for hazel...willow works as well. There's multiple ways of locking the tails of the weavers in. Loads of ways of making limewash too.
O my goodness! This is soo interesting! I live in Baja Mexico and have built myself a house using that technique also used here just with a different type of wood and sticks called “palo de arco” ive come as far as plastering with clay and sand and hey and am ready to make the final lyme render. My lyme has been soaking in water for a week now but im having allot of trouble with understanding the correct ratio of sand and lyme to make the final product adhere to the clay as well as then having a white finish. Could you please shed some light on your recommendations regarding the lyme renders ratio’s as well as the final curing of the lyme wash if applicable? I cannot thank you enough in advance.

Would it be best to notch the end pieces and rest the horizontal willow into the end pieces? Same for the staves too?
@@tgetty18 the branches are soft enough to fold the end back and weave them in.

Really would like a longer tutorial!!
Also,with manure?!
And something about keeping warmth in etc...
super vid, very interesting
Thank you mate
Curious about how the lime wash is done....will have to look further. Thanks for a great intro video!
Nice videos, friend.
So this is a legal building material in England still?
Can you tell me the ratios you used for clay, sand and straw? Also, do you add water?
So that daub is basically the same as cob?
Not traditionally @Tailss1 it used to contain cow manure, which is the recipe i was searching for. :/
@@chrismccaffrey8256 Yep,or horse manure,,,which is what I was searching for!!🤗Namasté.X.
1:09 LOL.
Very well explained I liked it very much
What is wattle and daub without dung?
What would be the difference between "lime render" and "lime whitewash"? And, can you use a cement and lime mix instead of the clay daub?
As simple and clear as that sir 👌
100% sustainable
But then again it isn’t a private
I would trade my house for a wattle and daub hut anyday
I'm pretty sure dung is an important ingredient for daub
Dung is used for the fibrous content. Not necessary considering we can get fibers from many plants.
@@lenorelee4249 I believe it also has insulating properties
