Dovetail Log Cabin - Building the Doors | Door Build Video

[@ivethernandez1778]

I loved watching this video. Something about building this door had a particularly soothing effect.

[@michellejaggard9657]

Cool way to build a door, haven't seen that before.

[@PenniacWilderness]

My uncle suggested this technique, hope it works well over time!

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy buddy- nice door. Z-bar doors just seem to fit a log cabin. God bless you

[@PenniacWilderness]

God bless you also! I agree that the Z doors are a classic look. I debated other styles but thought this was a good choice for the build.

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Penniac Wilderness It looks really nice. Blessings

[@bosse641]

Such satisfying work.

[@PenniacWilderness]

I really liked building the doors! Different than cabin building, maybe a bit more precise. I'll have to find some study hinges

Awesome looking door Thanks for sharing

[@PenniacWilderness]

Thanks Denis, still hoping to connect in real life one day!

[@denislosieroutdoors]

@@PenniacWilderness that would be cool

[@kevinwilliams8662]

Nice heavy stout door, that should keep the bears out.

Hi Kevin - I hope so, there's quite a few around.

I just recently got ahold of some floor boards from a factory in Charleston, SC that was built in the 1870s. They’re just like this...3” by 10” old growth pine that had been joined together with wooden splines. Haven’t decided what to do with them yet.

[@PenniacWilderness]

That's really interesting. I'd like to see how they were made. If you were able, feel free to send a picture to me at [e-mail]

[@chrisseats]

Nice job!

[@PenniacWilderness]

Thanks so much!

[@PerkBuilders]

Good to see you keeping up on the project. Highly anticipating the steady completion! The amount of cantilever you’ve incorporated in so many different places is what really draws me to this look. Keep up the good work.

[@PenniacWilderness]

Hi Jacob - Thanks for the message. I hope it all stands the test of time. Originally the lofts were going to be much smaller, but then I decided I may as well make them larger and ended up doing so. I'd be very interested to see your build.

Penniac Wilderness five years ago I built a 199 sq ft cabin that we lived in for a few years in central Oregon. All cedar inside and out! Many many tiny houses and art studios later I’ve just fallen in love with building and moving on to new projects for a living. Really appreciate your craftsmanship. Firm believer that if you take your time you can achieve master buildings on your first try. You’re doing it!

[@PenniacWilderness]

@@PerkBuilders You certainly have created some fine looking work! I agree with the importance of taking your time. Anytime I have started to rush things it does not turn out as well. Some days I just stop working when I find myself rushing or tired and then try again the next day.

[@PerkBuilders]

Penniac Wilderness unfortunately I only made a few videos on here. Not really representative of most of my work but thanks! I can tell you’re a bit bothered by filming while working too. Maybe I’ll start again some day

[@solitairesmith3553]

BEAUTIFUL JOB i just recently found your channel im enjoying your vidéos ;)

[@PenniacWilderness]

I'm really happy to hear you enjoy them! There's more to come :) What part of the world are you writing from?

[@solitairesmith3553]

@@PenniacWilderness im from oklahoma USA;) where is your cabin?

[@Onubense-zu4ei]

Amigo, puerta para muchos años.. Saludos

[@ozzietadziu]

What! No glue on that door?

[@PenniacWilderness]

None! I followed some plans of a woodworker I know and he advised against glue.

How many Akers of land does your family own? It helps us dream with you, brothers an sisters? I hope you live there! Wichita Kansas

Hi Mark, thanks for writing. Many years ago my father's family were given land in this area as they came to North America from England as Loyalists. The property has stayed in the family since then, maybe 5 generations or so. It would be a few hundred acres, but the amount of land I've used for the cabin + tree cutting + milling would be less than a few acres. I hope that answers your question. I'd love one day to visit your state!
