The Craftsman

Daedalus ended up spending only a few days identifying anything that might come in handy, this was because most things in the forest could be found in the normal realm. Luckily for Daedalus he had spent a good nine months learning how to identify and use just about any plant form common to almost impossible to find. This meant that Daedalus just had to remember the stuff he was taught which was easy for him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the biggest worry of his dealt with Daedalus decided that he should begin working on his future house or tree house.

Before anything else Daedalus wanted to have all the materials he needed for the build in a short distance from him, that would speed up the build to a degree. So for five days all Daedalus did was travel just outside the safe zone cutting down trees and getting a few plants that could make simple healing based potions. When he was done getting wood for his tree house there was a clearing made surrounding the entire safe zone, this caused the safe zone to look like a donut from above.

After having gathered all of the most important of the materials for the tree house Daedalus. decided that another thing he would need is stone, though mainly for building things like a mortar and pestle for simple potion making. Daedalus only spent two days gathering all the stone he felt he needed as he new that he wouldn"t need very much.

After having all of the materials ready Daedalus decided to prepare the materials he would need for the staircase. He did this by using Icarus to nimbly cut the logs apart into planks of different sizes and widths. After having cut everything out he had many long strips of wood and hundreds of shorter planks that would eventually become steps for the staircase. The long strips of the wood where then taken over to the lake where Daedalus used an interesting technique using water to soak the wood then shape it how he wishes.

When he was finally finished and satisfied with the preparations Daedalus began working on the frame itself. Daedalus first started with building the main railing around the tree, this part was against the tree itself and would be used to guide him on where the steps and outer railing would go. When he was done with that Daedalus placed the first step in to its place, then slowly added each step one after the other while testing the stability of the one before. After a while Daedalus was done adding the steps and quickly got to work on the outer railing. As everything else was already in place Daedalus spent only a short amount of time to mount the railing and spent the rest of the day simply making sure that everything was stable to a satisfying degree.
