Just a quick blog today. Everyone's been very busy doing all the last minute things that have to be done before the festival can get underway. Sadly it seems that the capricious Dutch weather is not cooperating too wonderfully this weekend, but I'm sure it'll still be cool. Impressions from Thursday are below

The posts get cutouts with the chainsaw. It's a bit faster than using a hammer and chisel.

The resulting frame, a yoke consisting of a pair of posts with three crossbars.

The framework of a basic wall is up. The yokes now need to be connected by a deck on top and of course need their sides filled with planking and filled with earth. Obviously, the audience will get a good view of how such a wall was constructed this weekend!
