Very good , thanks . I am a member of the Handmade House Academy that Noah Bradley created . I feel like he really knows his stuff when it comes to these types of cabins . He does pretty good at explaining how to chink but I have to admit ,these 3 videos of yours is ,,,, better . That says something and thanks for sharing. I'll be using these techniques 👍

Hi, great videos Sam, I am ex brick layer in the UK we do a similar joint called a bag joint. you wait until the mortar is almost dry then use a course piece sacking or lose weave cloth & rub it over the joint & it will rub off a layer of sand grit leaving a similar finish to what you have there, if the mortar spreads as you rub it's not been left long enough!

[@SamBradley808]

Hey! Thank you! Yes exactly, that sounds very similar. I’m going to look up bag joint videos now 😎👍🏼

How thick is the chinking? It seems like it might be hard to cover the screws and washers unless it's pretty thick. Thank you so much - very helpful!!! We're ready to start a project and I love having the exact recipe!

Thanks for posting this! It's very helpful. I'm building an off grid cabin this fall, and I'm curious how your chinking is holding up now that it has a little age. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

[@SamBradley808]

I am happy to report that there’s only a couple of superficial hairline cracks in the chinking. Nothing major and nothing structural. Looks fantastic. There’s some finished shots of the cabin on my Instagram if you want to see how it looks now @sambuiltthat

Thank you for the instructive video. What material is the lath backing the chinking? Stainless steel or GI?

[@SamBradley808]

It’s galvanized steel sheets from Lowe’s :)

[@AS-xo3lk]

Thank you.

Good no nonsense how to video. 😸

[@Olaf687]

Do you have to put the screen lath on the outside and inside?

[@SamBradley808]

Well, the lathe will help keep it from cracking overtime. The wider the gap, the more you need it. If all your gaps are only, say 3 inches, then it wouldn’t be as necessary. Also, depends on the climate, you live in, if Concrete is prone to cracking based on your weather, then I would add it to be safe.
