Peter built his 17th-century settler's log cabin a year using the tools and techniques of that time period. His progress is recorded in 40 videos.

In this part, Peter installs the rafters for the cabin’s roof after notching out the main support beam. He sheets the roof with rough-sawn pine planks to prepare the roof for cedar shake shingling.

Peter is from a channel called The Woodland Escape shows people leading independent lives off the grid. It focuses on the history of the 17th century and the abilities of early North American settlers. It also offers glimpses of modern tools and methods and contrasts them with those to which the early settlers had access.
