EP19: Building Log Cabin Alone // Dovetail Floor Joists - Highlights Edit

[@Wolfsonchik]

Agree with all the comments about "greatness" and "amazingness", but I really love production on this channel. Music, colors, camera work... Quality is just high.

[@TrustinTimber]

thank you

[@dorothypaul4642]

The music and videography had me spellbound! What you're doing is truly inspirational.

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you so much. Inspiration and education are my parallel goals.

[@Michael-rz7ic]

Cody, What a tease with this short film. I cannot believe you do not have half a million subscribers just for your film making. Your timber skills should bring in the other half a million. Bravo dude!

[@TrustinTimber]

Well thank you. I guess I approach KZbin like I do everything else. Slow and steady and focus more on quality not quantity.

[@jesmondborg131]

The cinematography, the craftsmanship, and the attention to detail are just beyond. Very meticulous. Just a pleasure to the eye

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you.

[@jamesomerritt3229]

Top shelf workmanship!! Prayers for the family

[@coralsancetta7242]

What workmanship. Great to watch.

[@PatNetherlander]

Oh man, cutting out dovetails with a chainsaw… And then hammering them down with (relative) ease. That must feel soooooo rewarding! Very nice work Trustin!

[@TrustinTimber]

Well. I must admit there was some fine tuning involved. but yeah, You catch a bit of my smile there when the one tail falls into it's position. Felt pretty good.

[@38below39]

Your one hell of a great builder buddy,,,,,

[@alexs3447]

Great workmanship. Amazing you could dismantle to move elsewhere

[@PavlovsBob]

Hey brother, he said that's the plan in an earlier video.

[@alexs3447]

@@PavlovsBob I know but what a job with all that joinery .

[@exploringlife738]

It's as though the trees are watching and admiring a sheltering memorial to (and from) their fellows as you rise it up amongst them. As if they literally breathe easier, seeing the fine design that fits and transforms the very limbs and boughs that they blanket the forest with, into a work or astounding art. Epic!

[@TrustinTimber]

I like to think so as well:)

[@Michael-rz7ic]

@exploring life well said you wield the words as well as he wields his chainsaw @ cameras.

[@exploringlife738]

@@Michael-rz7ic Thanks, Michael. Truth be told, the words only come after watching the videos...they well up as I experience the visual stories he tells. A wonderful side-effect from seeing finely constructed, evocatively shot scenarios. :}

Great to see a past version of you again Trustin, and looking forward to the future. Of all the tools that you use, I have to admit an admiration for, perhaps an almost searching for affinity with, the long bladed chisel or chisels that appear in your videos. It or they have an elegance of determined and patient, even practical, purpose that comes to life in your hands, and the post holes, joints, and cleaning of saw cuts that you make with them reminds me of a careful uncluttering of a place, a room, or even a complicated life story, in preparation for the next part of the process. I trust all is well with you and your family, and enjoy, enjoy enjoy, because these moments of babyhood are all to soon over, gone and consigned to a literal past of fatherhood which never seems to be the same when memory recalls it from another distant if timely and even eloquent frame of mind. Framing can bring things to life, and as your work on the cabin shows, all pictures can be set into a detailed and carefully formed frame of events, with an awareness of the scents, textures, touch and movements that can bring them to life once more when we allow ourselves to wholly revisit who and where we have been, and lived again as what we have done by realising what for.

[@TrustinTimber]

Baby and mama are doing wonderful and I assure you I'm soaking up every little minute with her. Thank you.

[@laruedouglas7972]

You are doing an amazing job. It is going to be so awesome when you are done and can't wait for it. 😉

[@TrustinTimber]

I hope so!

[@shaunkroschel]

That cabin is sure coming along nicely! Love all the details with the joinery. Very nice craftsmanship there my friend! Your video skills are just awesome as well! 🪵🌲

[@mchaelmontaudouin484]

Super ça avance bien bravo c est magnifique.🤩🙏👏👍💪

[@outdoor-suedost]

Great craftsmanship, well done!👌 Nice to see how your project continues to grow. All the best and stay safe from Austria 🤠👍

[@feldancustomcarpentry7351]

I’ve been a carpenter for almost 30 years now , I’ve never seen someone cut a dovetail on a floor joist , Outstanding work ! Master craftsman status !

[@TrustinTimber]

Well, that might be giving me too much credit but I'm doing my best.

[@twx8626]

Beautiful and professional construction I really liked 1 the roof on one excellent slope in places where it snows. You can also raise the other side so that it will be possible to stand there on the second floor of a relatively small house (excellent sheina rooms that you do not get stuck with your head on the roof

[@jeanpaulsilve5564]

simply perfect job👏👏👏 congrats from France

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you so much 😀

[@timdunmyer4549]

Looks like you have some staining to catch up on. Love the work progress.

[@TrustinTimber]

Yes, thanks, Started getting to cold to stain. I'll get on that in the spring.

[@SmoothGefixt]

Beautiful work mr. Timber!

[@TrustinTimber]

Glad you like it!

[@denniscarreno5882]

Perfect craftsmanship

[@heathmix3204]

First, Many Happy Returns on the baby, I had my first son 2 years ago late in life and he is the greatest joy that I have truly know. Secondly, I appreciate how honest you are about not "knowing" what you are doing and it being "trial and error." Still, as someone who has used tools including chainsaws a lot in my life, you strike me as having more than a passing comfort with them. So either you practiced a lot before you started this process or you have at least more than a passing knowledge of how to use on. What you are doing is impressive! I have seen several others build cabins in this style, so I will be interested to not only see what the end result it, but what future efforts you put forward. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and keep up the good work.

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you, Merry Christmas!

[@ahmetkarakoyunlu4125]

Neden böyle sonuncu videolarınız çok kısa uzun video paylaşın lütfen sizinle devam ederiz belki.

[@PavlovsBob]

Be patient. He's a new father. Not a lot of time for editing. I'll be watching if all he posts are short videos but, I'm sure he's working on a longer one.

[@daniel_charms]

Nice work! Quick question, though: how did you fill in the gap between the last short log you put in place at the start of the video and the bottom of the beam? I've been dying for an answer since the previous episode but I don't think you ever showed us how you did it :)

[@TrustinTimber]

I really appreciate you paying such close attention. I did shoot it and I did explain it on camera but you are right, I have not put a video out yet showing that. I plan to do a longer version of this video and I will go into explanation. But to answer your question, The last long I split in half and bolted it in from both sides and will fill inside with insulation later once it's closed in. What's nice about this is because those half logs are riding against a rounded surface if the wall logs start to settle I can just pull out the screws on each end and push it in a little more. At least that's my theory. It's not the method explained in the post and beam book I'm using as a guide but I couldn't see why it wouldn't work and gives the walls a nice clean finish. Hopefully I'll have the longer version edited in a couple weeks.

[@daniel_charms]

@@TrustinTimber That actually sounds quite sensible - it's also how you would patch a rotten log so I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be done this way. Another thing I noticed was that you never put any insulation between the logs. Does it mean you'll be caulking the seams from the outside?

[@jeffallen62]

This is my dream.

[@Jack_Hunt]

Where was the bridge in ontario that you and Peter went to?

[@chasjacks9378]

Just5r curious. How many years so far? I think you said three years cutting and drying. Plus a couple of years building? Do you have a dream of when you will spend your first night in the cabin with the family?

[@ampiolog]

Hello, my pale-faced friend 🤠 Well, so I didn't understand how you put the fourteenth log under the already lying fifteenth. It would be very interesting for me to see it with my own eyes. Could you show me, in the following videos, how you did it?

[@TrustinTimber]

Yeah, I'll make a longer version of this video that will show and explain that. I few people have been asking.

[@ProjectHighlander]

Hi there. great videos, like what you are doing. I have a YT channel also . Small but growing, advice would be much appreciated. I'm wondering how you get your sponsors? I'm just a small channel doing what I think is innovative log building. How do you approach manufacturers/ tool companies in order to get sponsorship?
