EP11: Our Biggest Cabin Logs Go Into Place

[@castaomar]

The patience of both of you is astounding! I can only imagine the reward of engineering and building this project is validated by your hard work. Well done!

[@TrustinTimber]

I don't really look at it as work. Some guys golf, some guys fish, some guys watch sports. I build. It's just my hobby.

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you.

[@castaomar]

@@TrustinTimber Considering your previous life in modern lifestyle/biz.....yeah! Definitely not work.

[@castaomar]

I look forward to more vids. Looking to follow the path of earth, success and back to earth. ....need 101 training for sure. : ]

[@PatNetherlander]

I like your patience and your precision in your work as well as your love for nature. Great content man!

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you. Glad you enjoy it!

[@larrysherman5254]

OMG...what a teaser to end the video with ! Love it !

[@TrustinTimber]

That was my wife’s edit. Lol, I was going to show you the full seating in the joint.

[@olberarosa2346]

I AM JUST GOING BACK TO THE START OFF YOUR VIDEOS BECAUSE I JUST JOIN YOUR CHANNEL AND I JUST FELT IN LOVE WATCHING HOW AMAZING YOU BEAUTIFUL COUPLE ARE BULIDING YOUR DREAM HOME 💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you so much!!

[@taylorhorne6645]

I can't begin to imagine how deeply satisfying on so many levels it is going to be to spend time in and around this cabin after you've poured so much time and energy into it.

[@TrustinTimber]

It's already satisfying on so many levels for me. Although I do hope in the end it's also satisfying for so many others for generations.

[@gastonfortin2108]

precision and patience, two qualities not always seen today.

[@TrustinTimber]

It’s the best part of choosing this life. I lived for many years with every project having a deadline ready or not. It's a real treat to be able to take my time.

[@louisetucker3973]

Love to see a couple work together on the same dream. Thank you again for letting us into your world.

[@TrustinTimber]

Our pleasure! Thanks for joining us.

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you.

[@MercuryTheatre13]

I like how you create such amazing meals! The food reflects your craft and building process! Another video well done! Thank you! Peace

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you, yeah, we try to enjoy ourselves to the best of our ability.

[@alexs3447]

Nothing like a cabin build to watch. And really like the use of the electric planer .

[@TrustinTimber]

Glad you’re looking forward to it. Yeah, I’ve done a lot of hand tools and old fashioned process but at certain points it starts to feel more like work than fun. At that point I reach for the power tools.

[@alexs3447]

@@TrustinTimber Built a modern cottage so many yrs ago so i have the power tools. But a log cabin has more style. Your wife is a great co worker . And good in the canoe too

[@deanmacka4975]

That joint at the end of the video is really cool . I like that mate , great stuff guys thanks for the tip

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you. Yeah, that was kind of the birth of the whole cabin design. That joint started as a tree fort design and birthed into this cabin. Next video you'll see a lot more of that.

[@GregsGarage]

This is awesome!

[@TrustinTimber]

Thanks Greg!

[@nilseide1507]

this video was fantastic and I look forward to seeing more

[@TrustinTimber]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@shaunkroschel]

It’s looking really great! You got that log fitting so nice and tight! Awesome video my friend!🌲

[@TrustinTimber]

Yeah, I'm not planning to insulate between the logs until it gets moved to it's final location but I would like to enjoy it here for a bit so I'm doing my best to keep everything tight.

[@shaunkroschel]

@@TrustinTimber your gonna have a beautiful cabin to enjoy! Keep up the hard work!👍

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film. What a ton of work. Can't imagine doing this with no power tools. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@TrustinTimber]

Thanks for watching! I'm not opposed to power tools. Just trying to keep costs down so I'm doing my best to work with whatever I have. New tools do keep seeming to find their way out there though;) That power planner has been a real time saver. Hard to go back to the hand plan now for those bigger tasks.

[@garagemonkeysan]

@@TrustinTimber Nothin' wrong with power tools. Either way it's back breaking work. AND you have to film so it's all incredible. : )

[@passerby9123]

First time I have been here, came from Timber life where the presenter is, well, more presentable, and yet in doing so I have found a great channel on timber building. Really enjoyed watching your work come together in sensible ways.

[@maturefox1]

The idea of deburdening your shoulder and ellbow is on principal a very good one, but don't forget to make sure that your breathing feeling is going into your belly and at the same time feel all your wrist movements to be founded in your shoulder - otherwise there is a ceretain danger of cramping your whole shoulder girdle. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about - ha ha ha! I mean it's a good year later now, but I hope you can do something with that (I have to admit) crazy sounding, but well meant advice. 😉🦊

[@TrustinTimber]

OK :) Noted. This was only two logs so I wasn't sure it was worth more of anyone's time but things will start getting more complicated soon.

[@AndrewSzeto]

LOVE IT! also you folks do good food (saw the box)? nice tips of mallet use, love the messaging at the end of the video and love the write up on the use of these trees. gonna binge the rest tonight after some work.

[@dannyrowe6506]

Swedish cope not fast but a good fit between the logs. If you cut a vee down the length of the logs and then fine tune the edges to the line, you will save yourself a lot of time in the bulk waste wood removal when making your cope.

[@drewt3210]

[@thecordlesscarpenter7956]

You've likely been given this advise already but when adzing, try starting towards the end with the length of the log in front of you and moving forward, you may find it easier, more controlled and just feels right. The way you were using the gutter adze can however, be quite effective if you are in a hurry and trying to split the wood but it can also be quite uncontrollable and unforgiving when the grain runs the wrong direction. I'm just now getting caught up on your build but loving the progress and the different approach to building.

[@TrustinTimber]

Thanks, I agree, in this case the lines I need have been cut with the chainsaw so I’m just clearing out waist. No risk of running up the grain unless I miss really bad;)

[@207matthew]

where do you get the tools for scooping out the groove? and how do you sharpen them? thanks for the shoulder tip!

[@TrustinTimber]

I got these from a store called Lee Vally. www.leevalley.com As for sharpening them. For the most part I'm just really careful with them and only need to touch up with a small diamond stone and strap. The inside stays flat and you sharpen the outside

[@ThePreyMantas]

I was just wondering, are you planning to put any sealing material "between" the log courses?

Some are new, some are used. Some are given to me and some I make. Really from every direction.

Why burning wood

[@TrustinTimber]

I'm burning off the sap so it doesn't get me and my tools all sticky.

[@raljame]

Is there a purpose to charring the log other than looks?

[@TrustinTimber]

Yeah, It's actually just to burn off the sap so it doesn't get me and my tools all sticky and clog up the sand paper.

[@raljame]

@@TrustinTimber cool, I was wandering if it stopped rot from the ground.

[@TrustinTimber]

@@raljame yeah, well if you are talking about the posts in the ground, yeah, it’s to reduce rot. Sorry I thought you meant the logs I’m building with.

[@richardsabean5781]

I Can't figure out if your building a log cabin,, or a pole building.. Looks very time consuming, and 2 logs on one wall none on the other.. Or is this a show & tell project,, with no intension of living there, no plans,, make it up as you go?? Just showing different notches,, tools? Shrink-fit-full scribe the bottom 3 or 4 rows shouldn't take more then 5 or 6 days!! Are they red pine logs or cat spruce?? Build a roof 4 or 6 foot bigger than the cabin you can work in the rain use the ridge beam for lifting,, big tarp,, shade when it's hot, dry tools ,material!! aloha

[@TrustinTimber]

Oh trust me it's been designed and redesigned but I'm not following any template. I always like to do something different. I posted a photo of the cabin model in my community tab. It's only phase one though.

[@royramey5659]

You burn after you prep log, waste of fuel and time.

[@TrustinTimber]

I'm just burning off the sap so it doesn't get me and my tools all sticky. It also reduces a bit of future bacteria growth which will save me some sandpaper when I go to stain.
