    Hello my dear friends🙂 In this video I am finishing three layers of logs on my full scribe log cabin walls. I am learning everything as I go and I am using just hand tools so it is a really slow process. But I am enjoying it and I am looking forward to share it with you!

    Can't begin to express how impressed I am at your age doing this cabin ! Well done, joints are tight, using only hand tools, looking good ! Rare today to see someone your age showing a love of wood working and with skills and attitude to do it right. Kudos my young friend.

    I’ve been watching for a long time on the Erik Grankvist channel how he builds his house from logs. He has already built it and is now working on the interior arrangement. I was looking forward to seeing someone else start their project. Great start. I wish you easy work and great success. Greetings from Chechnya!

    when the logs dry they shrink significantly, so waiting to scribe the logs until they were dry means a much better long-term fit between the logs and at the joints and less movement from those joints in the long-run. So, yes, it's much harder to cut them when they are dry, but probably better in the end.

    I liked that you dug holes in the ground put concrete in it then stacked large rocks around it filled that with concrete then put the square box on top of that to get it level. I have watched some people only dig a two in. hole then put just simi big rocks down and put the logs on top of that or two in. hole and use those small pyramid concrete blocks with the flat tops and watched both of them shift while they built there log home. I'm impressed with your build so far.

    Looking great. you have really good skills. The only thing I would add is overscribing on your notches at the very top. At the very top of the notch I would leave a 1/4 or so gap that allows for compression and settling as logs dry. It is covered by the next log so there is no air getting in but you don't want the log sitting on that and have the notch open up. Its a lot of work and using all hand tools takes a lot of effort. That must be why you can wat 4 pork chops;)

  • @timgymriverwest2105
    @timgymriverwest2105 Před 8 měsíci +1

    In my first log building I had issues with notches too big too small etc. I then got a book written by Robert Chambers Log Building Construction Manual. In that book he has a section on log selection rules: Butt 1, Butt2, Tip 1, and Tip 2. By measuring all your logs in the log yard you get an average size and there is a formula for which to select next. I never had any issues on the subsequent builds. Unfortunately I can't remember the formula and don't have ready access to the book.

    • @MattJacob1
      @MattJacob1  Před 8 měsíci

      Yeah, I know that there is this book. I would like to buy it because I saw that many people recommend this book.
      I follow this scheme (Butt 1, Butt2, Tip 1, and Tip 2) and so far I have not had a problem with this scheme. When choosing next log, I try to look a few steps ahead to be sure that everything will work out.

      There is beauty in simplicity. Working with hand tools has several advantages: You are able to work off-grid, the entire set of tools you need can fit in one bag, there is better safety when you work alone, you don´t make too much noise when you´re working... so I enjoy it more and I believe you will too, while watching the videos :)

    Matthias, I live in Alabama. I've never built a log cabin, how ever, that is what I want to do. I've watched you build the tiny cabin, and for this to be your very log cabin. You seem to be doing quite well, honestly. I'm curious to know just how old you are? I'm 51, and I know it takes lots of time, and a lot of hard work to build anything after being in construction my entire life. So, if you don't mind, how old are you?

    Mathias, are you building a large log cabin home?

    What are you spraying, and painting on the logs ????

      the spray is a protection against insects, fungi and mold. And then I apply an oil-based clear coat on the outside and a water-based coat on the inside
