Great to see you wearing the Springbok cap. Rugby is greatly fellowed here in South Africa. Love the progress of the cabin. 🙏❤️

Your building your own special retreat space! Good for you! ❤ You’ll sit on the hill and gaze upon all you have accomplished!

[@EMRchaptersonline]

As a south african , I am very proud that you put that springbok cap on , the shirts were great , as a hunter and lover of venison I can say the kudu shirt reminded me of the biltong ( jerky) we make from them.....I use G clamps like those often , great show thank you from SA

[@donnac.3268]

You should save those end pieces you cut off to make shelves, cupboard doors or something with instead of burning them, when the cabin is complete and you don't have a use for them then burn them. And don't discard a log on the lower levels if there not cut right, save them as well they might fit at a higher place... don't burn anything that could be usable later on... so nothing goes to waste or fire pit early in the game. Merry Christmas Y'all.

[@trevorjarvis3021]

You might think it’s taking longer with the cabin build than you wanted Heath, but you sure are making an excellent job of it. Absolutely amazing and a total credit to you! 👍🙏🇬🇧😊

Also, with all the mud you need to wash off.. maybe have a wall mount hot water electric pressure in the garage so you can get all the mud off in a moments notice. I got one and can’t get enough use of it

For the finish on the log notches check out the Kutzall Shaping Discs. Attaches to an angle grinder and a lot more control than a chain saw.

[@paulmartin9803]

🤔IDEA….I have a 4” circular chainsaw for my angle grinder. I haven’t used it for what you are doing, but it’s pretty cheap and maybe something that would take a little less effort than the big saw. Hope this helps! Thank you so much for your channel and sharing your lives and talent with us! We’ve been viewers since the beginning! God bless you and your family!🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@cybermanne]

I think that's gonna make a pretty interesting looking log cabin. I don't think I've ever seen an octagon shaped log cabin before. Pretty cool. Is there a reason you're not doing the normal saddle joints? I'm guessing those would be a bit tricky with all the weird angles and all. Is that the reason, or would those for some reason not work with this style cabin. Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing this build progressing.

[@charlesowens9784]

A wood carving disc for an angle grinder might help make it easier and be lighter and easier to handle for longer. Even just for the finer work.

[@skwyrz1]

Chances are it is not the saw but the bars, Try using a thin puddy knife to clean bar groves and be sure the base plate on saw is cleared out at the oil holes. 45 yrs retired saw shop owner.

[@atmo3275]

I can’t believe you did that, that lumber belongs in a museum

[@warrenmichael918]

just curious about what museum would want regular old logs? They werent used in some historically important place or structure. Really curious about your thoughts on that. Im not sure any museum that deals with the history on logging or building would even want or need them.

[@triciasklodowske5653]

Looks like you need to pour a slab and build a lean2 over/on it to house that sawmill. It would keep the ice off of it. Thanks for sharing. God bless and protect.

Hey Heath, I've just finished a fence project that needed a lot of carving rails into posts etc. I bought a cheap 18v chainsaw type tree trimmer with a 6" chain. I roughed the cut outs with a 14" saw and I could fine tune the rest with the trimmer. I found the chains are about 10 bux for three on Temu. Much easier than weilding one of my bigger saws

If your an avid follower you would have heard Heath say the ground freezes. So he cant drill for the posts for the Deer pen. I would love to be in a position to be able to do what he does. Carry on with projects as and when he can and finish in his own time frame. Sticking to one project will just burn you out.

[@richardwhite3711]

@ 13:55 if you are ever in a larger city look for and Outdoor Advertiser ( billboards ) all billboards are now just covered in a printed vinyl tarp, the used ones they sell, they are great to cover fire wood, hay or even this cabin build. Great resource of a recycled material

I think you should strongly consider making and installing blade wheel guards for safety!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!!

[@williamsnow1531]

Safety? I don’t think Heath knows what safety is. He uses that chainsaw with no chainsaw chaps, no safety glasses when he grinds or uses the chainsaw, no seat belt when he’s driving and no helmets when he’s driving the ATV. Pretty sure he’s doesn’t know what safety is.

This is a big job doing on your own. Shouldn't you put some sealant between the logs since wood expands and contracts in the outdoor country, and lots of bugs looking for seclusion in small places.

[@raymondsmith3733]

It may be too late because the ground is frozen. Dig down a few line walls and make the drain come spring.

[@larryfreeman7979]

heath, gotta say it, but that saw mill scares the H out of me. That blade is wide open both top and bottom; and you are walking towards it, each step over those steel cross members which are a huge tripping hazard. One miscue and in trying to stop yourself, so easy for an arm or hand to go flying into the moving blade. Sorry , but part of my working career was in safety; and identifying and correcting such hazards was a part of what I did, At least install an expanded metal guard between you and the blade. Thanks for listening . Love the cabin build.

I have one complaint about your vedios, the short time, 1/2 half each week, that I spend watching you and your families activities, simply goes by too fast. And now I'll have to wait another sevens days. This is a "complement" for sure to you and your family!!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

[@Wookiep01]

That's exactly my sentiments as well!!

[@larryparish5984]

Don't believe I'd leave flat surfaces on the top of the logs. It's going to leave spaces for water to settle, thus causing the log to degrade quicker.

[@lizowilliam013]

My thoughts exactly

[@warrenmichael918]

the chinking will , or shouldnt, allow any water to sit or enter.

[@lint2023]

You might like a Kutzall shaping disk for the angle grinder. They cut fast and control well. Don't ever get a chainsaw chain type disk for the angle grinder. They are very dangerous.

I must have not been paying attention when you told us what kind of wood you are building the Octo-cabin with. I sat here watching you throw the cutouts into the fire pit. Should I assume your logs are pine or some other related softwood? I sat here asking myself why you didnt send the leftover wood to your firewood stack. Please clarify, and have a great holiday season!

[@GoodwillCriminalsOfDallas]

I hope you burned the bottoms of the first row. This will keep the rot away for a long time. I would have set some boulders in the ground and drilled some rebar through them to anchor them. The log laying process is indeed tedious but a good job is worth its own reward. When I built my cabin the logs I used were much larger than the ones ones you are using.
