  • This video shows a traditional way of making simple straight lap notch using hand tools in a full scribe log construction.
    This simple notch historically was not used in living houses, but in small sheds, cabins or saunas where it was not necessary to keep warmth during whole winter. For living houses was more tighter and complicated notches with added windlock mortice & tennon joint.
    We will uncover making process of more difficult notches (dovetail notch and Norwegian saddle notch) in further "How To" videos.
    This video is made by Estonian traditional log building school - Vanaajamaaja

    Though it’s very time consuming, the traditional way is the most satisfying way of doing this work. Just the sound of tools on wood. No machines buzzing.
    Great work guys! 🙌👏

    Fascinating. There once were log cabins all over North America and it was men from the North who taught this skill that was quickly adopted here in the new world. Thank you so much for teaching my ancestors how to live well and live comfortably. If it weren't for you, they'd still be building hot and uncomfortable stick and daub homes like their British craftsmen taught them.

    I love these videos. They are so calming and educational, demonstrating a unique series of traditional skills normally unseen and unappreciated in these modern times. I can’t wait for more videos like these demonstrating other the notches.

    I know this video is several months old but, gotta say it. This IS the best style of home building. This puts today's standards to shame and this is what "traditional" truly means. Been a fan of the channel for quite some time now, the videos just get better and better. Thank you. Cheers :)

    If you have never done this before, you should really give it a go. Its very therapeutic, not to mention the feeling you have after accomplishing it. I can work a draw knife all day, and even though it is exhausting, its very satisfying as well. Enjoyed the video.

    This is the kind of cabin l want to attempt to build. When l was a child my Grandparents lived across the street from a antique log cabin. The really cool thing about it was it had a secret entrance to the stairs that lead to the second floor. Which had an old spinning wheel and a bed. Down stairs it was like the people had left for the day. There was an antique parlor organ and a Victorla record player. We kids had a blast in there. I just want to go back in time and live in such a place.

      Nothing to do with measuring, it's a fast way to make a straight line. Bricklayers' use a similar tool called a plumb line, for the vertical a string with weight on the end is used. For the horizontal string and a spirit level is used.

    Tell me how so many can dislike this? What is there to dislike? Imagine the first night sitting in that cabin with a fire roaring, all nice and warm, knowing that you put such incredible effort into making it. And having a fine woman there to make dinner, and to make sweet love to. That’s living! Such precision in making every log into a home. That’s inherited talent. Speaks volumes without a word said. A very satisfying video to watch.

    There craftsman ship is great, to be able to do this by hand i have no words to say how great it is. The guy building must be building it for there grandson and he is not even married yet. The time it takes to do one log and there must be a hundred logs in a house. This is truly labor of love. The time it took just to straighten both sides of the log and make the top concave and the bottom convex make the two notches for it to sit on the bottom log and have a log on top drill the pegs and pull the bark off the log and cut the finished to size. Just to watch this video with out cringing I had to run it at 2x speed. The first guy to build one of these house by him self must have really loved the girl he was trying to attract. I would say it would take a couple of years for a guy to do it him self. I just hope when she seen it she did not say it a little small, i would have like the kitchen on the other side.
