In this episode of Bushcraft A to Z, i get out in the woods to try my hand at some joinery. Joinery is a part of woodworking that involves joining together pieces of timber or lumber, to produce more complex items. In a bushcraft setting, this skill can help you build shelters, cooking tripods, chairs, etc. So, i tried my hand at it.
Hope you enjoy!

Folks! What should I do for episode 11, letter K? I will definitely credit whoever gives me my next idea! Have a good weekend everyone. 👍😜
how about knife skills?
Bush craft Knick knacks ( camp items )
Kilograms! Good comfortable weight of pack, cooking gear etc, maybe??
"K" well that is easy.. it is your most desired piece of equipment. Your knife. I would talk about the parts of a bushcraft knife.
Knife parts (choil, pommel, etc.)
Knife blade shapes (Clip, drop point, spear point, wharncliffe, etc.)
Blade grinds (Scandi, convex, hollow ground, etc.)
Hey ! Make some Knots.
Just a tip, always make your notches first, then you can trim your pin to fit it perfectly. It is a lot easier to trim the pin to fit the notch than to make the notch fit the pin. Also, use green wood for the piece with the notch in it, but use dry wood for the piece with the pin. As the green wood dries out it shrinks and locks the joint tight.
Knowledgeable. A down and quick video of the basics. How o...start fire, build shelter, cook food, stay warm, etc... That's why people love your vids
When your joints don't match up perfectly or are a little loose, insert a WEDGE into the gaps. It will snug up the joint, giving you a more sturdy joint. Keep up the GREAT work. Love your videos!
This is the kind of thing I really enjoy. Short or medium length videos detailing a specific skill. Love it! Joinery is awesome, whether "bushcraft" style, or timber framing, or cabinet & furniture making. I just love woodworking and woodcraft in all its myriad forms.
Amen brother. During winter dark months I harvest plenty of wood to carve. I make little figurines for my daughter. She gets more excited over the things we make than store bought crap
Congratulations! That is a clean example for your first try. I have seen worse-fitting examples on TH-cam...and they still worked. I am a big believer that wood joinery has a larger place in Bushcraft: lashing is for temporary and fast but joinery is for base camps and regular use camps. Thanks for taking us along!
Its all good learning about making fire and building a bugout ect, but this video is real bushcraft and the type of video ive wanted to see for a long time, i hope you show us more of this type of bushcraft and thank you very much sir
I wasn't aware that honeysuckle grew in tree form. I have always seen it growing in fence rows. shows that you learn something new every day.
I enjoyed the video. I like the fact that you don't edit out the mistakes.
I am pleased to see this... you are one of the few bush crafters I have seen who actually looks at proper wood joinery instead of just buying a spool of paracord and lashing everything together. Sure, for a temporary shelter on the move, it is not the most efficient choice save simple joints like a keyed lap joint, but for these base camps, it is THE way to go.
I've carried Swiss Army knives almost daily since my days in the Boy Scouts. I'm 62 now. Best little knife/tool going. Also have carried an original Leatherman tool for 30 years
I love your Wolfman voice, makes me happy
Dovetail Knot
Love the A-Z series idea. Kudos to you for trying and learning new aspects of bushcraft!
You can also cut a wedge and a slot at the end of your dovetail and drive the wedge in the slot which will tighten up your dovetail joint just a little tip for you keep up the good work I enjoy your videos
Yeeees brother.....glad to see the a to z back....wales uk
Now you gotta get yourself a chisel! One thing to remember when using live or greenwood is that it'll shrink as it dries. That'll loosen up any joinery you do.
Bushcraft A to Z is back!!!! K could be knots or picking kindling material. Thanks for the video O.
Great video man. You looked so angry for a moment when you snapped the first joint. I would be too haha.
For what it's worth, missing your videos.
Not bad for your first. A useful skill to know.
Hahah I usually have to make mistakes to learn anything... thanks for watching man.
Vary useful
Far North Bushcraft And Survival I
Good effort, really enjoy the little hissy then you got back to it
Joe mentioned wanting to do an overnighter at your base camp a while back. Gotta make it happen soon! Great vid! Looking forward to the next one.
Well done for first try .. And that,s how we learn threw our mistakes nice job ...Mark
Awesome first joint, remember repetition creates proficiency. Another useful joint is the locking mortise which can be tightened if the wood dries or loosens.
In my area honeysuckle refers to a vine with trumpet like flowers that contain a single drop of sweet nectar.
Nine degrees is freakin' COLD.
Leave more length above your notch to reduce the chance of splitting. First thing I thought when I saw your thumbnail. Hate that your first one split out. Lesson learned. You can add a diagonal support (2 more dovetails) from the upright to the crossmember so that it can hold more weight.
You can also put the dovetail notch into the center of a crosspiece to create a T. Carve the upright into a triangle. You need to beef up the crosspiece to handle the extra stress on the notch.
There's a lot you do around camp with a simple dovetail.
This was a great video, Scrambled One. Thank you for sharing.
Sweet good information thank you Scott

Shout out to the LA BEAST and the use of his music!!!
So many people will carry 3-4 knives when in the woods. If I am on a multiday trip and plan on crafting a decent camp, I bring along a small chisel and it opens up a new world of camp crafts. With a little practice I was able to knock out a chair, small cooking table, lean-to frame, poncho-bed pole frame, and wood plate in just over 1.5 hours.
Remember Martin a thing of beauty is a joy forever. It may not be beautiful but it works & that is a beauty of its own. For a first attempt with lots of unknowns It sure looks like it works. Thanks Brian
I thought that I was the only one that had to 'sing' my way through the alphabet. Thanks for showing me I'm not alone!
Great to see bushcraft a-z back in business. Always loved this series and love the background music.
Keep em coming!!! 🇦🇺✌🏻️
Awesome bushcrafting technique. Love your channel, keep up the good work! Best regards -Yves
Awesome! I'm going to try that next time at camp.
Hi Martin, this is a very good permanent connection between two sticks, a bit of effort and as you have seen I needs also some practice, thanks for sharing and only the best to you and yours in 2018, take care, Taro
Well done!!. Now you would need a small chisel in your backpack if you were to make many.
And with K, only goes KUKSA. You need to carve one.
Nice video, good to see another one in the series!
Hello from Florida!! I use little solar lights that stick into the ground... They're lightweight and maybe worth taking on one of your trips to this camp. The light isn't super bright but it lights ground and surrounding areas and ** really gives depth to the video.**
At 11:23 Steve Ramsey (Woodworking for Mere Mortals) calls that a character building exercise. :) Good stuff!
Dude that was simple I would be doing it sometime this weekend. Great lesson. ..
I always enjoy seeing people doing wooden joinery. Nice work.
Quite enjoyable video. Perhaps carving a Kuksa, or some different types of knots. Maybe even knife care, or building a small outdoor kitchen.
Always love watching the vids
Try using a carpenters pencil and a square to help you more clearly "see" what you are doing. Also a chisel with side cut can be a helpfull tool to bring for such projects. Gotta love the adventures of woodworking
Great to see you back at it Martin! 'K' is for knots! Bowline, Taught line, half hitch and Jam should cover most things bushcraft. I did type Bowline with a 'B' not a Joeline with a 'J'...Joe Robinet! 'L' should be for Lashing...Aaron Out!
Nice thanks for suggestions😜👍
Man, Look at dat joint...Look at dat boa. Great video scrambled O...
I see you crystal clear, don't change a thing.
Nice stuff. Thanks for the lesson. Learned something that I will have to try out. I like your style.
Hi bud, loved the video, I use this technique sometimes to make a cookpot setups. I do it the other way around, the triangular stick goes into the ground, other stick will jam on the hight that I need for my pot to hang, put some weight on it and it jams. One tip, leave the end of the I cut branch longer or tie it of with spruce root as it is keen on splitting g out if the end is to short. Cheers
A little tip, cut the mortis first then fit the tennon. Good vid, thanks.
*Awesome joinery!*
Seriously cool skill! Not practical to bushcraft, imho, but really cool.
K - knife skills. Battoning, carving, feather sticks, stuff that most people should know by now.
enjoyed this one and not sure why I don't do these more; good way to hold things together...maybe your next one would be kits you carry in your pack. Like I have a bag for food, bag for fire, etc. K for kits you carry.
Good job. Thanks for showing the flubs too as it helps people learn how to fix their mistakes. Keep up the good work my friend.
ol greybeard dino
stay safe keep warm have fun and whittle to keep your sanity
; - )>>~
Your proper entertaining so funny. You keep making them Scrambled O good stuff
A+ that is one nice joint.
Great as always man. A fun and useful trick to have up your sleeve perfect for some late night fire sitting.
Yes sir
I would do the notch below a knot in the wood so the grain would hold better and not split so easy. Also you can tie the end with para cord to straighten it and tighten it up. Cheers good video
for the type of wood he did use on that joint ... honey suckle as i recall ... one would need about 2 inches per half pound of weight to be hung ... above the join ... the upright should ideally be about 3 times larger than the cross member to allow for better strain carrying and more secure joints ... also instead of making the v notch perpendicular with the ground actually tilt it further back so instead 90deg ... make the top part sit about 95 or 100deg and the peak then JUST comes into the upright and will actually hold the cross member more securely and with the ability to hang more on it ... but a lap joint at about 10 or 15 degrees is a much better join for pot hangers and faster to do ... the lap joint can also be made like a wedge ... > and then be even stronger for cross members or you could do a diamond in the upright and then hammer the cross member in as well ... ..... both work great for stability and strength and resis compression in the first and tension and compression in the second ... you can also turn around and peg these lap joints to make them even more secure and tight as well ... your swiss army awl would do a nice job if you keep it sharp ... and the bit you need to split out .. the long knife on the swiss army is awesome at it ... if you have the can opened or flathead screw driver on your knife sharpen those and use them like a chisel also ... the can opener just needs sharpening to be a decent chisel ... the flat head needs to be angle ground ... takes quite a LONG time to do it but well worth it ... also the can opener makes nice bowls and spoons basically any mildly curved surface
0623kaboom that’s awesome Thanks for taking time.
Nice Joint! I tried to do that with my Aspens.. no luck. Learned a lot, thanks!
You do really clean work bro. Better than me any day. Nice job!
A couple of dovetail hacks for this application. 1) make your mortise (female part) a LOT farther from the end of the stick 2) make your triangles with rounded edges 0 the sharper the wedge the greater the chance it will split out as you first one did. 3) wrap the joint above and below the joint with wire or cordage to prevent splitting 4) For this application, have the stick with the mortise about 2x the diameter of the stick with the tenon and just cut a round hole with your knife for the mortise and shove the tenon stick thru it. It's a bunch easier than making triangular cuts and it won't split out.
Knots!!
Nice jointage!
Cool man! Glad you were able to get it to work!
Thank you for this series! First episode I've watched. I've been wondering why bush crafters seem to not use basic joinery. It was taught in scouting for years. Sometimes lashing is either insufficient or just not an option. Not to mention, the more joinery you use, the more cordage you can save for other vital uses.
Outstanding! You just got a new sub!
Good effort mate, good idea.
the victorinox is in my opinion the perfect knife for doing such tasks
I can relate to the break through hard experience. Never trust the elasticity of green timbers, particularly the tendency to split easily. You really have to use your knife to fit the one end into that joint. It's okay to have it a little tight but if you're having to bear down on it, back off and trim a tiny bit and try again.
Looks good, you taught me something.
Great job 👏 That's how we learn, trial and error. Happy 2018 🎉
Good stuff your right can use that in many things
Honey suckle also makes a great emergency whistle. A friend of mine did a vid on that several years back. Haven't seen anyone else do that. Honey suckle even though pretty weak, has a ton of uses and should be cut down at every opportunity.
Well done Martin! Thank you for sharing! :)
Thanks for bringing back the A-Z
No problem it was about time. It’s a good series that I enjoy doing.
I agree. It is nice to welcome back the A-Z series.
Most excellent little trick. You have a new suscriber.
Nice. Definitely going to try this.
For future reference, dovetail notches work better if you start carving out at the top with a space between cuts 1/3 to 1/2 the length (cut between 30-45 degrees) that you will have at the bottom like so /___\. Dovetail notches are meant to keep wood from shifting so if it's going to need to support much weight, you'll need to carve another dovetail on the other end and another support beam otherwise it will eventually snap.
You had me at, “Like a glove”(!), lol, [Pet Detective 2...]
Nice work. I like that you aren’t afraid to publish your mistakes and admit you aren’t a pro... Mistakes are very instructional too.
Subscribed and thumbs up.
Like a glove!
Awesome job. I learned something today. Ty
Hi nice to see you Scrambled O!!
Colorado checkn iiinnn as always
Awesome job man, thanks for showing the trouble of making it and not just a perfect specimen. Good to see the falling points so when I try I don't think I did something wrong. As for letter K, obvious choice would be kindling. But not much you can do on that lol. Maby a KIT overview? Like a double check on different gear for the seasons?
Nice work mate, just found your channel, and subbed in 2 minutes flat..... love your honesty and energy, and i'm a bit biased as i'm a joiner
Enjoyed the video keep up the good work man you do a good job on the videos God Bless
Good Job Martin for doing it the first time ! I would have probably cut myself doing it. Love your videos !
Love this awesome idea!
Great first try, even if you had to do the female cut twice. One thing you can add to this to make it even sturdier, and also not have to cut it back shorter for strength, is to take a third piece of wood with a "Y" at one end, cut a chisel edge on the single end, and a notch on the upright for that chisel end to lock into, and rest the horizontal piece on the "Y". Looking at it from the side when put together it will look like a triangle where the three pieces join. This will support more weight, as what ever you hang from it will push the chisel into the notch making it sturdier.
Nice video! I like watching earth, explore and relax...
Bore a hole into your upright with an auger; then shape that into a triangular notch. Make the notch undersized at first and only make it large enough to hammer the tenon in. It is the friction (friction lock) that makes this variation of a mortise and tenon so successful. Definitely, use a larger diameter round for the mortise than the tenon to resist splitting and cracking.
Have you carved a "try stick" yet?
How to make a kiln for survival forging knives, making clay pottery jugs for catching and boiling water. I loved this video. You can add a 3rd stick going from top to the middle of the stick going to the ground, ,, like a triangle then it can hold heavy things. Just a thought.
Really cool wood carving with tools available!! Nice work!
i may give it a try!!!
Techniques come in handy
Good work in the colder temps. I'll try that joint-making sometime. An idea for you would be to start some beef/deer jerky overnight in the excalibur and finish it on a sunny day near the fire ( niiiacce seasoned hardwood). ATB
Dude that was awesome I love the hell out of that and your first time awesome that is so cool man thanks for showing me that's so awesome
Really enjoyed that! Good effort, if at first....and all that. Kuksa?
Good job, man!
I believe you made the cuts opposite of what is usually done. You make the female or receiving notch first, then you match the male or inserting end to match the receiving notch. I'm sure that'll work better for you and give you a tighter fit. But you did good so keep up the practice. You can practice in your new man cave! :)
Yup! I agree now that I’ve done it... that’s a good idea. 😜
loogie dat joint boy! loogie dat!
Thanks for sharing your fail and success O! And FYI, it’s jointISM! Lol awesome lesson for those of us who don’t know this stuff
I used to live in Napoleon, Ohio. Man was it cold. :O) but it's still 9 degrees here where I live now.
