In this episode of Build Like a Roman, we look at the Roman glassmaker, not of fancy vases and goblets, but down to earth windows glass. Many people aren't aware that the Romans even had glass in their windows. Not only did they have glass, it was more common than it was centuries later, in medieval times.

In episode 17 of Build Like a Roman, we look at the Roman carpenter and the wider world of ancient woodworkers.

From the faber tignarius, or structural carpenter, to joiners, furniture makers, shipwrights, and military craftsmen, we explore how timber shaped Roman buildings even when the wood itself has long disappeared.

This episode covers tools, training, collegia, timber supply, joinery, centring, roofs, and the technical knowledge behind Roman carpentry.

The Adze and the Axe were amongst the Roman woodworkers' preferred tools.

Why?

Because you always start with the tool that is both robust, and easily sharpened.

Unlike a handsaw, with its many teeth.
