Just came across your videos - wonderful stuff! Watching from Toronto, Canada. Funnily enough, I watched a video yesterday showing some Australians building a cabin in a way which reminded me of how you are doing the vertical pieces, not as effectively as you have, but you may be interested how they reconstructed an 1883 build in the original manner: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpTShaF7h5l4nMksi=DbJaBc7Wgvzapbro

I am thoroughly enjoying your videos, this is the second round I have watched them :D I have a question about the insulation, could you please tell us what it is? How I can find it? I am in USA. Also, do you have any natural material suggestions for this insulation (in case what you are using is synthetic)? Thanks again! really enjoying your videos, extremely helpful also :D

It is Flax, so natural fibres formed into a mat. The company I get it from is called 'Isolina', Their website gives the impression they are quite international so maybe they will supply to you. I will offer an alternative though which is as good if not better (and free). Moss. harvested and used fresh it draws the moisture out from the logs and insulates well plus its PH means it inhibits mold.

Hello. I'll probably disappoint you, but this method was invented long before you. Back in the 18th century, various outbuildings and fences were built in Siberia in this way. There are also rooms for animals. They were built without insulation between the logs, and then the seams were covered with clay and straw. When building fences, the insulation was naturally not used at all. With respect to you and your work. By the way, such fences were called "zaplot".

Hello sir... I watched your Highlander log cabin videos.... Question... If i cut and use fresh logs, could i put spacers between logs to allow them to dry while i build. And then make the place ready to live in for winter?
@ProjectHighlander
@ProjectHighlander 2 ай бұрын
Logs should be cut and dried for a couple of years before using them.....but that rarely happens in the real world. Many cabins are built from green wood, there is no difference in the process, just ensure you have good breathable insulation between logs and do the build fast, get a roof on it and it will dry out in time.

Well done sir. I have the impression that many years of real world experience of cold climates is likely to have intuited some very good ideas about how to heat a home. Taking a scientific lens to these traditions seems a sensible approach. But where I live the winter average is 11 - 21c - so what would I know? Maybe I can swap some tips on how to stay cool in summer?

I haven't watched all the videos yet so you may tell us later but I'm wondering what you may think you would have done different if you were to do it again. I'm looking at the corner posts at the moment and was wondering if you think screwing the 2x2 onto the vertical corner log, and groove the horizontal logs would have made your corner posts stronger (necessary?)?
@ProjectHighlander
@ProjectHighlander 7 ай бұрын
I have done it both ways and there does not seem to be any real difference in terms of strength because the actual structure is just the posts, the frame that ties them together at the bottom and the structure that ties them together at the top. As to what I would do differently I would change the roof structure to half-and-half joints throughout.

I avoid unnecessary work, Spruce bark cracks and falls off as the log dries. Of course most people strip the bark because it looks bad but if you watch the whole series of videos then you will see that all the logs that will be visible have the bark removed.

Thx for your videos and how you make these cabins, I’m hoping to make a log cabin shed in my backyard in the next couple of years with the trees on my lot. I have eastern white pines 30 meters tall, 90’ - 110’ , I’m planning on standing full round logs up and filling in between like you do with groove and tenons. Still need to cut down a half dozen more, not that I want to get rid of them. But there’s not enough dirt for any tap roots with all of the rock ledge in this area. At least it won’t sink 😅, good luck and great job with your builds !

First comment, and I believe this is video 5 or 6. This is absolutely amazing. I hope you know that. Building, dismantling, and rebuilding again, and it looks almost perfect 👌🏽 👍🏽 I'm sure there's things you would change in hindsight, but we all know it just works that way. For one man to create something like this, with the thought, quality and effort is just great. I've been in the trades for over 20 years, and I can't wait to build myself a little cabin I can enjoy someday. This is definitely a style I'm going to take a crack at replicating. I liked the styles with traditional in the back and this style in the front. You showed a few in your 1st or 2nd videos on this build. I hope your back is better and you're still getting the opportunity to build your cabins for people in 2024. I hope the best for you 🎉
