Build Layers with Pressure Stacking

What happens here
Continue adding layers of firewood using the 'pressure stacking' technique. For each new layer, ensure that individual pieces of wood bridge the seams of the two pieces directly below them. This interlocking pattern distributes weight evenly and creates internal pressure that helps hold the stack together. As the stack grows taller, it may tend to lean outwards. To counteract this, periodically place smaller or irregular pieces of wood on the *inside* edge of the stack's wall, pushing the outer pieces slightly inward. This deliberate inward lean helps maintain the conical shape and prevents the stack from collapsing. The video demonstrates this technique and explains its importance for stability.
Goal: Construct stable and self-supporting layers of firewood in a circular, conical shape
Tools and materials
- Split Firewood — Building the circular wall layers
- Work Gloves — Protecting hands while handling wood
