How To get a PERFECT Seal Log Cabin | 14 | - One Man Traditional Log Cabin series

- When I graduated high school I sought a big challenge in life. To alone, with only simple hand tools and raw power, build my own traditional off grid log cabin by hand from the materials of the Swedish forest. I film everything myself and edit these videos so you can follow my journey and hopefully learn as I do. I have no earlier experience in any of this, just a visualization of what I want to achieve and willpower to learn and improve everything necessary. So I enjoy reading good advice in the comments. Enjoy!
In this episode I show you how to get a perfect seal on your logs for log cabin, using only simple hand tools. This method needs no chinking, it might take longer than chinking but I find this end result much more fitting...
Next episode will show how I solved the problem of getting the logs up by hand.

Most tools come from Gränsfors Bruk.
I worked with a guy that specialized in Scandinavian, full scribe log building. The only difference, really, between what you are doing, and what we did, was equipment. We used chain saws for most of the work, but the final touches on the scribes, were done with axe, adze, gouge, or chisel. Between the logs, we used fiberglass insulation, in the channels, instead of moss. Your work is impressive, simply because you are doing everything manually, without power tools. Great job!
Appreciate the story, thanks.

This “THUNK” as the log snugly settles on the wall is one of the most satisfying sounds I have ever heard. Automotive door sound engineers - bow to this man’s mastery.
YES. It is the most satisfaction when you have done all the work and then you know it just fits perfectly when you hear that sound.
Erik, you are truly a fine craftsman to get those logs to fit so perfectly. Nice collection of axes, and your skillful control while you're using them to cut and shape the logs is very impressive. You should truly be proud of yourself. Nice leather jacket, love it.
Absolutely
@william vipond yep you're right he should be ashamed of himself, how dare he cause you're grandparents (who he didn't even know exist ot existed) to be insulted. He should just stop doing what he's doing to show you that he repents!!
.....Lmfao🤦🏻♀️😒🙄
What impresses me most about you is how steady you work.
You never seem to get frustrated, go faster or slower.
You just seem rock steady...at a set pace.
Like a machine.
I am the exact opposite - 'fits and starts' is my game, sadly.
He probably cuts that out😂
Jk

First log takes the longest time, second log is faster, third log even faster, fourth log you are an expert and can teach others. I fix complex radiation therapy machines.....same principle applies. You do excellent work. I'm glad you are teaching us.
By the time you finish a log cabin, you'd wished you had bought the lumber pre-cut...
I love the sound your axe makes on the logs. It rings back, resonates really, and sometimes your rhythm enhances the sound. That's when the sum is more than the parts and makes easy work! Good job!
Nice observation. I have never thought about this.
It's so impressive what you do, it's not just the skill involved but the patience and attention to detail. I think that you would make a great teacher and I hope that one day you would consider passing on what you have learned to others. Well done and looking forward to the next video.
I actually wanted to be a teacher when I was young. And I still like to understand things down to the basics. With CZcams I want others to learn as I learn, to pass this knowledge on.
@@ErikGrankvist could you tell me what is the material you putted inside de logs ? It seems like a kind of a special pine leaves ? Are there other product to put inside ? Thanks
@@federicoeco9030 it is moss. I only know what the kind of moss I am using is called in Swedish, "husmossa" and "väggmossa". You can also use "lindrev", found that it is called flax in English.
Then there are manmade materials you can use, but I like the natural ones like they did before.
@@ErikGrankvist thanks a lot for your answer. I'll check those materials.
Esto es "Un Poco de Todo" 😎👌

Maaaal😂😂
Эрик, ты настоящий мастер! Привет из России!! Так работать топорами сейчас наверное мало кто может. Удачи тебе и успехов!!! Подписка и лайк однозначно!!
There's something I've seen done on log cabins that for some reason never seems to get mentioned for "leveling" the logs. The logs are reversed end-for-end from one to the next one up so that the small end always goes on top of the large end.
I like your silence while you work. the image says it all.
I value your challenge ;)
Thank you.
I'm looking at your website from Trinidad in the West indies (Caribbean), your workmanship is excellent. Especially with the fact that you are using very little modern tools. I'm impressed with you planting back young trees before starting your project (many people in the world should learn from your example).Keep up the good work and also make sure and finish further your education.🎓😎
True craftsmanship. I read in the comments you have only been doing this for a year. Simply amazing!
I was afraid the log would split when he drove the peg in. You get great results with basic tools. I love that.
That is why I give them a oval shape, pressing the length of the log and not "splitting" it.
@@ErikGrankvist Thanks, I love seeing people work with hand tools.
@@ErikGrankvist thanks for that info! Could you explain more about pegs in a futures video? I need to replace several support beams in My 300 year old torp in Småland and i want to do it the traditional way, with half cut in beams and peg-hole connections.
I love your Gransfors Bruks, finally watching someone who knows how to use these excellent hand made hand tools, keep up the great work!🌲👍👷♂️💪💪
He is amazing with his axe skills!
Erik pay no attention to the trolls that only live to tear down others that are doing great things in their lives. You chose a good path and seem to be adapting better than most could. Awesome job and look forward to seeing more of your craftsmanship and handy work.
Great job my friend!
Thank you. 👍
16:12 *Thunk* Nailed it. This method is more labor intensive during the building stage but it's so awesome. Looks way better, and beats the huge gaps you have to daub.
Thank you, yes I think it is going to be worth the extra effort in the end. Looks so nice this way.
Ja,Voegleingesang ist die schoenste Begleitsmusik.Wunderschoen ! Hut ab,Erik ,Dein Werk ist super.
I really like the addition of the subtitles, just enough explanation without it being distracting. Beautiful work.
Thank you, yes I find it to work perfectly with my style of video.
How do you turn on the subtitles?

great launch! you have a complete kit, I love gransfors bruks, I have a carving axe and It works great in soft and very hard woods like boxwood. Really a perfect seal. I like to see the connection you have with the forest, using it, caring for it and planting trees. I love your videos, thanks
My relatives on Farm Joreid in Norway would be proud of your skills.
Thanx, from Coquitlam,B.C., Canada. Nice to see the skill is not lost, it is in the Will. Peace
Very meticulous work indeed. And I love how you plant future trees as well. Those trees will be ready for others in a generation or three. Thumbs Up!
Erik, thank you for another nicely done video. I am surprised to learn you are self-taught, as your skills are impressive for one so young. I look forward to watching your progress with great interest and a good deal of envy.
Such superb precise work. Your grandfather must be very proud of you.
Jag är så imponerad av hur omsorgsfull och noggrann du är, inte bara med bygget i sig utan även i hur du vårdar dina verktyg. Sitter som förtrollad o ser video efter video, inget onödigt pratande, bara fåglarnas sång, vinden i trädkronorna och ljudet av yxan som rytmiskt skär igenom trä. Älskar det!!! Tack Erik ❤️
Vad roligt att du tycker om mina videos så mycket. Jag håller på med de sista stockarna, sen kan innertaket läggas. Videon på när jag tar ut öppningarna för fönsterna kommer snart, men nu börjar älgjakten så det kan bli fördröjt.
@@ErikGrankvist Lycka till på jakten! Ska bli roligt att se när du sätter i fönstren 😊
Tous mes respect Erik, pour ton talent, ta patience, ton adresse, et ta précision. Je te suis le début de ce projet et à chaque fois, je suis dépasser par ce que tu accomplis....... Félicitations encore..... D'un abonné qui te suis de l'Abitibi au Québec, Canada. Bravo encore ! Merci pour le partage.
You're smart to build your skills around a foundation of tool knowledge and proper maintenance. You clearly understand the tools you are using, well done!
Your axemanship is impressive.
I'm pretty sure back in the day they would have made you Chief Totem Pole carver if you had been Indian.
Cheers Erik just shows you what you can do with a good axe..
Love it. Calm, cool, collected. The best way to think and the best way to act.
Would be hilarious to see a blooper-reel of all the ''Vafan la jag den där jävl...aa, där är den''-moments xD
Hahaha. Ja speciellt med timmersaxen när man jobbar i skogen, den försvinner om man lägger ifrån sig den. (Jag har en som är helt svart).
Dude you're such an inspiration... thank you very much for taking the time to make these videos... it's a lot of work

Good job, Erik! Respect from Russia!
Beautiful fit on the logs. That is a lot of hard work. You are doing a great job. Great vids
Я в восхищении . Я сам рубил когда-то .Углы конечно холодные не для Сибири . На забитых шкантах бревно повиснет при высыхании . Раньше шканты (или плоские "сухари" ) еще и дегтем мазали ,чтобы не зажало .Но каков пацан ! Иглавное молча , без улыбки и смартфона .
У них без улыбки наоборот ненормально... типа проблемы у пацана.
Паря знает своё дело!
Video skills and a good command of a second language on top of impressive manual talent. Well done.
Beautifully done! Pays to keep your tools very sharp. Love how you used your axe as a plane. Great work ethic. What’s up with the fools who gave you a thumbs down! Ignore them, they are just jealous of your skills. ❤️
Envy. Jealousy is desire for what you do have. Envy is desire for what you don't have.

Best skill building log cabin with only axe i have seen. God blessed you with a great tallent.
Посмотрела много фильмов от начала строительства и до зимней рыбалки. прекрасная реклама инструментов, одежды,умению обработки древесины.Какая выдержка у мастера! как владеет инструментом! Молодец! Только неудачно копил форель. Но это поправимо. Удачи в обживании жилища!
I thought for sure this was click-bait. Nope. Great work, kid! Keep going! Making me wish I didn't waste my youth. Stay safe out there. Subbed.
LIKE si viniste de un poco de todo👌:-D:-P
well give the man ,your grandfather, compliments for making that awsome shirt!!
Your work habits are intense great job as usual. Great jacket.
Great Job Erik 👍...you look like you're in the "zone" .... beautiful craftsmanship, you clearly love what you do......and the way you take care of you tools (awesome axe-collection😁) tells a lot .....i really enjoyed this video, being a Carpenter myself .....so keep 'em coming😊. You definitely got a new subscriber ...All the best✋from🇩🇪
excellent work and high skill level 👍 with respect from Russia
Very impressive. I just came across your channel and subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more, and will go back and watch earlier episodes.
I am not really surprised anymore I know you are a true craftsman :) But it keeps being impressive and always a nice video to watch. Keep it up
You got skills bud. And your not afraid to invest in good tools.
Beautiful trees, beautiful house. All the best from Croatia, EU. Your new 🐾, CCRES team.
that log was a sweet fit Eric.. I really enjoy your videos, much respect from Mallorca.
I just started watching your videos and enjoy them very much.You have accomplished a lot in a shot time very nice work.
WOW.....excellent workmanship.
give this kid a job. Whatever he wants. Surgeon? President? Astronaut? Sure. Beyond impressive.
Am watching this in 2024 from Oregon in the US and would more than likely happily vote for EG in November instead of either Mr Trump or Mme Harris, not that anyone here wants to read of partisan politics.
i am left open mouthed, gob smacked, you are so talented
this kid has ambition, LOL,,,,I am a full scribe log builder by trade and only use Stihl commercial chain saws, draw knifes, and as many other modern tools as possible, but we still scribe everything by hand, the only thing i see that I believe would help him is to put natural wool in between the logs, but nice job !!!
he will build this shed like this for two years.

@@vinodelbeer Maybe it will take 2 years or longer, but it is not always about the goal - on occasion it is also about the journey ;-). He's doing a great job!
I've never seen someone work like you on CZcams We have a sheer amount of time it takes you to cut out he's log Is that absolutely crazy Thank you for the videos most impressive
Nice video- thanks for sharing !
G'day Erik. Mate your pretty good with the tools I must say. Its fantastic to see a young bloke with the skills of the old masters and able to use them well. I would love to be able to build a cabin out of our timber here in Australia but the main problems are that they are really hard to work with and handle. It is far beyond one man without heavy equipment. A cabin in the mountains chasing trout, and deer as a getaway retreat would be great. Good on ya mate.
Sounds like you're defeated before you begin. Gather your eggs and go for it man. From a SAffer.
Congratulations to the extremely sharp axes!!!! How beautiful to see it!!!
Thank you so much for this video.. I love using the subtitles... you are a good teacher.
Innovative use of the logs and jointing. I will be watching more of your channel. It is nice to see beautiful tools put to work making beautiful things.
Erik great video. Great way to set the logs. The joint is so tight, takes time but it’s worth it. Looks awesome! 👍👍
Another great video Erik your log cabin is coming along nicely. Good axe throwing very talented. :)
Erik you do amazing wood work I am proud to say I have watched you do this want to see the in side of the cabin when it is done !!!
Esto es un poco de todo...
Your work is amazing, thank you for sharing it!
Please consider wearing eye protection - you appear to be alone, and chips from axes can fly unexpectedly. I've broken two pairs of safety glasses from flying wood chips.
THE EPIC OPENING !
Today I learned much because of the subtitels, thanks.
The legend of Erik Grankvist is only rivaled by that of chuck norris
King of the wild frontier!
really nice video
I came from "un poco de todo" this is incredible good luck.
Thank you. :)
I see you covered your tail by planting a new tree.nice cabin I like your scallops good job,I like how you pin each log.ya I'm Hendrickson.
Så häftigt det du gör! Jag är enormt imponerad av ditt tålamod och ditt fokus. Du lever din dröm fullt ut. Så kul att ha hittat hit.
😎👍👍🥇🏅 I think Allan Mackie would be proud!! Nice work - keep it up!
Is there only me can see feel of the hopelessness at Eric's face and his movements? Eric pls keep up! )))
Fantastic work! I can’t do it, but I love cabins and would love to live in one.
Haha, arriving to the building site like a boss! :D
Great videos btw, it's a pleasure to follow the process.
O CR meteu o lançamento de machado no começo do vídeo, me ganhou aí é covardia
Well done Erik - Cheers
Excellent work young man!👍
Erik a fine video your making very good progress on the cabin keep up the nice work best wishes to you .
Thank you my friend. Best wishes to you to.
Wow. Congratulations, you have amazing skills.
Lancio di scure perfetto! Bravo!!
Esto es un poco de todo

Super video erik! i'm really enjoying these you inspire me to get outdoors and get active!
Thank you Josh. There are endless of possibilities. :)

The only problem I have or should I say there is 2 things, Using an axe like you have takes a long time, when you could rough out most of the cuttings with a small chain saw
Make sure you use dry logs, or they will twist and warp.
But in time you will find some logs will shift and open cracks, It is wise to use something for insulating between logs,
That is the way I learned how to do that system your doing.
Just realized something else you should have done when driving those pins in,
You expect them to hold the logs from shifting, When in time they actually will eventually come loose, But if you had cut the bottom end slightly like an arrow head, they may never loosen, or pull out
Live long, son of Sweden🙏
Go on, my love🌹
Like si vienes de un poco de todo
now that's percussion work. *LIKED* and *SUBSCRIBED* -- LT
Thanks 🤩 I
I would call that a bag of tricks, LOL. Tools very important to take care of.
Amazing job bro, I just watched "un poco de todo" ♥️
very cool
Mycket intressant att du inte använder moderna maskiner. Blir mer arbete men mycket mer genuint. Bra jobbat Erik :)
Thanks for sharing, Erik.... Enjoyed it....
This kid is gonna be huge after this is complete
