No nail arch bridge construction

[Okefenokee_D]

Don't know if anyone saw this, but I thought it was cool. I've seen people build things like this without nail, but a bridge to handle a person is something else. I may try this one day! This looks like a great solution on projects out in the wilderness or if you run out of nails.

Looks to be a chinese technique.

That's pretty neat.  Thanks for posting.  

There was a link to a stool he built too.  Worth watching for sure.

Grandpa Amu has a lot more time and patience than I do.   :D

He definately does. Lol. 
But sure is a solution for rough times.
Wonder how much weight that bridge can hold.

Wow!  I like the blind wedging he used for the railing.

Pretty cool, but nails were used.
