Old technique used in the twenties and thirties in n mich to use up short logs

Hi! What kind of that insulation is that you are putting between the logs?

I really appreciate your making your own cabin videos.. ive watched the series about five times already. Cant wait to begin later this year.

I don't understand why you're going to build it off the building site tear it down move it to the building site and put the thing back together sounds like a lot of extra work to me why not build it on site

Australian pioneers used a very similiar method

Hey i've been gathering logs to build a sauna following this method.. Could I just mill the outside face and keep the inside round? i want to add 1 inch of wool bats and then siding, mainly because i want it to heat up quickly and my logs are only 6 inches on average which would make it a hard space to heat up quickly. Hope to hear back and thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Have you considered the following: Vertical posts, say square that have a tongue in each side. Then notches or grooves on logs to position then between the two vertical posts. Its difficult to sometimes paint a picture with words, but would not this be a lot faster?

Thank you for posting this. It is very helpful and appreciated. 🙏

Can you use crane mats for your building techniques if you wanted to build a decently large house? I would assume you could.

Definitely using this when my husband and I build our own home.

Can you make a stone or concrete block foundation/basement and put this safely and securely on top even if it was a much larger house?

Love this. My husband and I are planning to sell our house and vuild our own and this is perfect since we want to build a basic house and add more rooms on later.

I like the cabin alot but not underground and definitely not with a soil roof but I really hope one day I can have property to do something like this

Thank you!

How many inches wide is your groove in the middle of the log?

Can't really hear what you're saying

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

What was the cost to build this cabin

Thanks for explaining. Interesting technique!

Ill be plumb damb dipped in shit! Never knew Brits to know logs. I always thought you cheeky chaps only did, spots o tee and, smashing good fun and like...long live the tyrant rule. Appreciate the video, much.

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

precize work

I subscribed and definitely going to test it on my sauna build. Keep up your work. God bless.Thanks

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".

Really nice chicken coup! :D

Love your constructions! Great stuff :)

Plus plus!

Im planing on building a small cabing with this method and i cant wait to get started. One question though. What type of insulation are you useing?

How many hours of work did it take to build this cabin?

Easier to make... but the final look suffer a lot in my opinion. It's all about compromises and personal taste.

Thank you so much for these videos... I've learned so much and will follow this style to build my place

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?

Is this method better than the faster 3 part method video series?

❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉

Beautifully well done.

Good proper job. From our off-grid homestead in New Brunswick, Canada.

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?

Hi. Great work. What insulation is best to use here. Thanx

What is that repetitive noise in the background?

Cat is in charge

Very cool 👍👍

I use thar system in repairing old damaged wallson my pole barns,

This video is beautiful... please change up the song choice and don't play the same repetitive music the whole time... it's very distracting and hard to listen to for 16 minutes

Most real professional log home builders call that style "piss en piss".

And doughnuts applefrittets

I am getting ready to build one like this. Want to use as much of the tree as possible. Love this idea of only needing 6 or 7 feet of straight. Thank you so much. Been looking for awhile for an idea that will work by myself

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?)?

Way faster as long as you dont take into account for preparation lol. Butt and pass....fastest way.

Did you build a sauna. Make a video of sauna building?

Ahha soumalainen. Was wondering about the twocabin car to be Volkswagen?
