Just a few minutes in and already 10 times better than any other natural build vid I've seen. Giving actual math and useful terms and showing how to determine all aspects of the roof. Very nice breakdown in a genre that tends to give spiritual advice on structural issues.

In the early 70's we were building yurts with reciprocal roofs. Back then it was an old technology.

Amazing! What I like the most, is the love that tight people together. Great feeling to watch this achievement. Thank you guys for sharing. It's a family feeling. Love you all 💞. A friend from France. Stephane Dolais Lefort.

Awesome idea now I know exactly what I am building

Excelente video.. gracias por enseñar a sacar calculos.. emocionante cuando sacan a charly!!

Well done. I was aquainted with reciprocal roofs some 5 years ago when a friend used a modified form in a yurt. They are visually fascinating.

He is my grandad and he is still building roundhouses today!

This is awesome! The pattern of the roof poles reminds me of the same way Native American tipi poles lie when they are pitched. Thank you for sharing this inspirational building technique, it is definitely giving me ideas!

I like these instructional videos

Lovely !!! Be well and keep up your beautiful work :)

Bravo Tony, y love you!

the amazing thing is i get the privilage to work with him creating a roundhouse for charity use down here in wales

inspired.thank you

Thanks Tony such a good instructional video. I'm making a pallet yurt at the mo and its going to be on a platform. Small 2.8m yurt. When the yurt is built, two poles will slide underneath between the bearers and 4 strong people should be able to lift it and plonk it on a trailer for moving, failing that pulled up onto a trailer on the bearers as skids. I wanted to build a reciprocal roof and you showed me how. My walls will be pallets. It will be 8 walls, 1 of those a door and 1 a window. Geez on second thoughts it's going to have to be 4 very strong people or 8 would do it easy or a tractor with a couple of strops. No problems only solutions. I'll tell you how goes. One question, when the poles at the top protrude do you just flatten them with a nice sharp saw or chain saw then a plywood ring attached to the ends of the rafters and curved wood on the ring to shed water once the roof is on.

thank you

I think the original reciprocal frame roof was the American Indian Tipi! It is don't much the same way and the have been doing to for thousands of years! All the poles fit in a certain way and thenare wrapped with a rope! Ingenious!

I love it. Thank you for sharing.

I shall have to build one one day. Presently still growing the timbers

hey thank you SO much! that was really wonderful i learned a lot...140 views, lol yet somehow i'm not surprised X]

Danke!

Kris Harbour thanks you ;-)

great explanation on how to measure the charlie and the 24 cm to get a 1 meter opening, but how did you come to the 60cm for the first measurement on the rafter?

Hola!! Soy de Argentina mi nombre es gustavo estoy haciendo un reciproco y tu video me facilito muchisimo mis dudas. Me gustaria saber si es necesario que la cupula central sea de una medida especial con respecto a la superficie total del octogono??

Good video but, how do you figure out what angle the first pole goes on the Charlie?

Uh yeyeyyee another question: What treatment do you give to the woods so they remain OK without plagues? I mean, some people at the beach uses burned car oil... but, I reckon there might be other thing that makes it last longer, with a more nature-loving approach... what could that be?

I want country do you guys make the house I wanna enjoy with you guys

Natives Americans used reciprocal design, hundreds of years ago.

Por otra parte les cuento que mi diametro es de 13.5 mtrs. Osea un radio de 6.75 mtrs. La pregunta seria....de cuanto tiene que medir mi ojo central??? 1.30mt.??? Y la distancia entre viga si tengo 16 seria de 0.25 cm???

Alguien puede mostrar, el terminado en chapa

good to hear that you use meters not feet

Thank you for the technical information too many vidios leave that out. Great work but it will never go mainstream because it's not made out of ticky tacky.

Danke für die gelungene Übersetzung ins Deutsche!

I love how at the end everyone holds hands and prays to the flower child hippie God.

interesting music on the background, i hear english accent , but what are you ? :)

Ygdrasil!

could this type of roof can support a canadian winter??

angels lol

How come, that this person wears Svanetian hat? სვანური ქუდი 😍

oh boy, 13 poles :)

Reciprocal roof frames are self-supporting structures that date back to the 12th Century. They are used in Chinese and Japanese architecture, as well as being something that Leonardo Da Vinci explored in detail. You don't half talk bullshit, we have had these almost a 1000 years, 20 years my ass!!

Espanish legend plis 💞💞💞💞💞 plis 💞💞 plis..

The twine seems... undersized.

Dodgyness - the technical term. :D

Woodglut comes with very useful plans with all the details you need.

This is great, but i hate the hippy shit

Soooo amazing! But, like 30 people building 1 home... who is going to live there at the end?? or is it a community centnnntah? Or they replicate it 15 time so each couple will learn to do it and help the others build their own?? or is the only unique owner paying a huge load of workers for making his home?? are they paid with actual money or only with "knowledge"?? Ufffff,,,, yeh, sorry for skipping the hippie part of the sustainability but it also adds interest.

they aren't 20 years old, the celts willve used them. hard to prove archeologically but they weren't stupid

nice video except the hippy crap. Thanks to the angels....

First thing, do not call them eco villages fools. You cutting at least 40 trees for building a house, that's just fucking opposite. At least you should double of them to be eco friendly. Try mud houses they are more Eco friendly. Change this thing
