I Built a Split-Rail Fence the Old-School Way

Building a split-rail fence from scratch on the FHC Farm — no kits, no shortcuts, just real hands-on homestead building. In this episode of Farm Bulletin #8, I walk you through how I select the logs, shape the rails, notch the posts, set the line, and lock everything together the traditional way.

If you’re into DIY, bushcraft, or learning how to build real-world structures with your own two hands, this one’s worth your time. I break down the technique step-by-step, share some lessons learned on the land, and show how a simple fence becomes a satisfying farm project.

More builds coming soon — sheds, gates, raised beds, trail structures, woodworking projects, and more.
