Nice to meet you today Arvid! This is such a cool concept of construction. It is so harmonious and natural, environmental and sustainable, and will last for many generations.

[@aafjeld]

Nice to meet you as well! Maybe we can have another chat one day when I am on ground level! Thank you very much, Alan 🤝

Nice to hear your story! Good luck for the future. So happy people like you continues the traditional way in building houses.

Thank you very much! Appreciate it, wish you the best 🤝

I am really glad to have recently found you on KZbin, especially now that I know a little about why you do what you do. One day perhaps I might be able to learn to build log cabins as well and do it as a full time job

@@aafjeld do you know of any apprenticeships for this job

[@aafjeld]

@@maxmcintyre9192 I’m sorry, no - not at this moment. If I do I’ll let you know 😊 But if you would like to get into it my best advice is to offer your help for a reduced rate or for free for a while with a company that does work in this field 🪓

I live in a log building, built for me in 2003 which was constructed not as meticulously as yours. Problems with insulation and heat loss. But if I were to build another house for myself I'd still choose a log one. Perhaps I'd find a better builder than the last one.

Greetings from Finland! Currently going to log building school myself, tough and difficult for sure!

[@aafjeld]

Greetings! Thats so nice to read, love that more people want to get into building with logs 🪵 Wish you the best, hope you’ll get the hang of it fast 🪓

What a wonderful video and story!!! Do you by chance know what is growing on the roofs for all of the live roofs in your video?

[@aafjeld]

Really appreciate it, thank you 🤝 Yes, most of our clients grow regular green grass/field grass. Some keep them very well maintained, and some let it grow wild 😄

Hvilke knuter er med i lafteveiledningen?

[@aafjeld]

Det er Raulandslaft 🪓 Dog noe modifisert, da vi bruker motorsag til å skjære knutene. Men prinsippet er likt - uavhenging om man velger å bruke bile eller sag.

[@yvind1465]

@@aafjeld Takk! Kan jeg spørre om hvor du anbefaler å kjøpe dømlingsbor?

[@aafjeld]

Vi bruker lange bor på rundt 50 cm og diameter på 30 mm - det kan man få kjøpt hos de fleste byggevareforretninger 😊

Thanks Arvid beautiful work. I have attended a few log building courses and your book brings it all together for me. Going to build a small cabin over the winter here in Scotland following your method and using oval logs. Alex

[@danvalentine9130]

Those logs are so perfectly unifomed How do you grow them like that

[@aafjeld]

I am afraid it doesn’t grow like this, but that would be a charming feature 😁

Thank you! 😄🤝

[@TruckingCarsL48]

Beautiful work. But, too beautiful. Looks too perfect. Zero rustic appeal.

[@aafjeld]

Thank you! 🤝 It will get a bit more rustic when treating it with tar. Some clients want more of a rustic appeal than others, so it varies somewhat how we build 😄
