Chinking the Log Cabin

[@shovelhead8]

Great job on the chinking, Todd. Extra nice when you have help. Happy Thanks giving. Stay safe and stay warm

[@KevinsDisobedience]

Hey, good to see you back. I just mentioned you to a friend, told him you did nice work with a long handled double bit.

Chinking, like icing a cake. ROFL, that may wind up on a shirt.

The cabin is looking great Todd 😃👌🏼

[@SurvivalSherpa]

Thank you, David!

[@bobt471]

Nice ... curious to learn what the actual materials used in the chinking process? Thank you

[@SurvivalSherpa]

we're using mortar for the chinking

I missed the roof build I’ll have to go back and look for it

[@SurvivalSherpa]

I haven't edited that footage yet. I'm way behind on posting.

[@PenntuckytheCrag]

@@SurvivalSherpa ha. Ok

Hey! You have the comments turned off on the log wizard vs spud video. I liked the cable suspension thing but I reall dislike the log wizard, had one and found it was a pain to sharpen and tied up a saw, so I needed to keep two saws on the site. It does have a place but I try as hard as possible not to use it, so much so its now lost in the clutter of the shop, I know I couldn't put my hands on it if I wanted. Yes winter logs don't peel at all with a spud, but spring or summer logs will slip with ease. You must give us your honest opinion with details.

[@SurvivalSherpa]

Hey man! Hope all is well your way. I'm not digging the wizard either. It takes too long to skin a log and the blades are dull now. I've got to sharpen them if I use it this weekend. I'm going to dig out my drawknives this weekend. I plan to set up logs on sawhorses to save my back. I'm writing a blog now on my thoughts on the Log Wizard. I'll add it here when done. Take care!

[@SurvivalSherpa]

It's been so long since I post a video that I must have click button to disable comments. I believe I fixed that now.

It’s looking great close up but why no shot of the whole cabin are you hiding a helipad on the roof or something? Seriously I can’t wait to see a full view.

[@SurvivalSherpa]

I'll have to shoot a walk around for you, Steve. Give you the nickel tour. Just keep the helipad to yourself please.

[@KevinsDisobedience]

Really coming along. Are you planning on living in it, or is it just a getaway spot?

[@SurvivalSherpa]

This cabin was a test for my retirement cabin that I'm currently building, which will be a lot bigger.

[@hootnannyhomestead8338]

Here’s my nickel 🪙. I want that tour with Steve. Lol.

[@EmmaTailsOutdoors]

My least favorite part of cabin building but it looks really good.

[@SurvivalSherpa]

It is labor intensive, as you well know! Hope you're enjoying your cabin, sir! Thank you.

I think you were getting pretty close to violating 'KZbin community standards' with the UP-KILT view of that last camera angle. 😜 I averted my gaze just in case there might be something I'd want to unsee.

[@SurvivalSherpa]

Haha, yeah I edit carefully when I'm sporting my kilt!
