Log Cabin Tools for the Off Grid Sauna Bathhouse, Ep.3

#logcabin #offgrid #building
These are the hand tools I'm using to build the log cabin that will become the off grid sauna bathhouse on the Canadian wilderness homestead. I show and explain how I'm using axes, a slick, chisels, log carrier, draw knife, scraper, log gouge, handsaws and rip saws, measuring tape, chalk line, wood auger, brace and bit, log dog, adze, level and pulleys.

Looking forward to watching you build this cabin!! I am 80 years but I'm still learning and I get ideas from watching you and apply them to my keyhole raised bed garden. You are a good teacher.

[@cms110cc]

Really excited for this build

[@xysix2548]

Shawn, Even though I'll probably never build anything in the woods as you do, your videos are so enjoyable and therapeutic for me to watch that I gravitate to them as soon as they show up in my e-mail. Keep up the good work, my friend.

[@glenngoodale1709]

I look forward to your videos. You are doing a great job !

[@RedWolf17]

Very informative Shawn. Thanks for always sharing useful and interesting content. Where's the little pumpkin named Cali?💗🎃🐾 Oh, there she is...😅🎃

[@connierifenburg9758]

I have a question regarding the size of this cabin. Wasn’t Dick Proenneke’s cabin short? If I remember right he could use a step ladder to reach above the roof. I was thinking that a sauna bath house would be the perfect type of low roof cabin for several reasons. You wouldn’t have to heat as large a space.(height wise), in most saunas, you sit on a bench so the ceiling wouldn’t need to be more than 6ft or less? ,the entry could be an overhang porch with the the wood storage right there and you would undress in the cabin itself. If you needed a taller area to stand under a shower head, you could make a flat roof/one way slant roof addition on the back of the cabin, similar to the outhouse style that would be joined by a door to the sauna . It would also be a safety feature to have a second exit on the opposite side of the bldg. In your main cabin you have windows to escape from during a fire. You would need a second escape from this bldg. also. Most importantly I would think is would be easier to build by yourself, wouldn’t it? The enclosed sauna would be small with a porch on the back and front and the overall height of the bldg. would be shorter. This is just an idea I thought of as I listened to you speak of the size of logs you would need for this bathhouse. It certainly should be a less involved job than the full cabin with a loft. Am I thinking wrong on this? As usual I enjoy watching all of your programs, looking forward to the bathhouse build.

[@MoJackzon]

How did you get the gravel there and how much was it?

[@paulbrowning1758]

Working smart video. Do you think your viewers would be interested in a video about simple tips for working smart and efficiently? When I started refurbishing my place I wasted so much time not adequately planning a certain project each day, changing my plans, chasing tools around the cabin, etc.

[@jasonboe]

Hey brother! Thanks again for keeping us entertained by your videos. Love what you're doing on the property. I wanted to share a word of encouragement for you. I teach Outdoor Education at my high school, and have been sharing ways to get into the backcountry, and have shared your story with all my classes. What you share on a weekly basis directly or indirectly relates to all that we want to teach our kids, and I've loved using you as a resource for kids to go further with what interests them. Again, I just wanted to give you a word of encouragement to keep doing what you're doing! See you at the cabin next time!

[@MySelfReliance]

Thanks Jason, I love to hear that

[@nicolehervieux1704]

Knowledge is power, I care about everything you have to say. Have a good day.

[@Zedoutdoors]

Beautiful selection of tools and that scotch eyed auger has some serious width to it, need to eat your spinach when working that Shawn ;) ~Peace~

[@MySelfReliance]

Good morning Zed

[@spinkyl9559]

Hoping to find one of those second hand, can't seem to find them otherwise.

[@chuckcolas8777]

Shawn, thank you for these videos. Your style is unique in the KZbin world. I love learning, and I get to learn something every time I watch. I also just watch for pure relaxation. At our homestead here in the high Nevada desert, we don’t have access to good timber and logs. But, we can get them hauled in! I am hoping to build a bath house next year... I am looking forward to watch your videos and learn. Thanks again and God bless you and your family!

[@ladyofthemasque]

You also might want to consider where & how you'll do laundry. There are some really cool foot-treadle off-grid washing machine things. They don't have a lot of room per load, but they're useful. The alternative is a sink with a sloped side that has ridges forming a set of nested downward pointing chevrons, V shapes (only more shallow) for scrubbing, but that can be a bit exhausting physically, compared to just wiggling your foot on a pedal.

[@jayr.marchant9101]

Hi Shawn, my name is Jay and I live in Peterborough Ontario. I’m very new to your journey and I must say that as an outdoorsman myself, I am really interested in your philosophy. I myself am of Algonquin blood and what I know is that the connection to the earth is key for all humanity to survive. I am a tradesman and specialize in heritage buildings so I understand the build in aspects of your program. I lived in Halliburton for six years so I know the territory and elements very well. I snowshoe and fish but am not an avid hunter at all. I recently have been salvaging coyotes from local farmers, the coyotes get into the livestock and are shot. I take them and create beautiful pelts as so the beauty of the animal is preserved and not left to rot in a field somewhere. I believe in truth, dignity, accountability, honour, and hard work. I am 48 years old and sending two girls off to University, so hard work is a big part of mine and my wife Lisa’s journey too. I would love to one day come and spend a day with you and see your amazing creation first hand. Until we meet in person I just wanted to consider you brother and also say “ Meegwetch” or Thank you in the Algonquin dialect. And also a very important message to you in the Sioux language “ Mitakuye Oyasin” a simple Lakota prayer meaning “We are all related ...human, animal, plant etc.” Stay warm brother Shawn! Kind regards, Jay

[@abefrohman1759]

Subject matter, editing , music, video quality. Everything about your videos is great. 👍

Very interesting. I too am looking forward to this series.Stay healthy and be safe.Hey Cali and Mrs. James!

[@edowlut2004]

I don`t build cabins being a woman but I found the building of the first cabin so interesting can`t wait for this build to start, Thank you for the time of making these video`s for us

[@edowlut2004]

@TheGreatJub Jibbo I am sure there must be a few, but I was referring mainly to myself being a woman of elderly years

[@renaissancewm2000]

I am a woman and I built a log cabin :)

[@fuckthedumbsh1t]

I am not a woman, and I built a log cabin when I was kid.... With Lincoln Logs Does that count?

[@thestcroixkid]

Go look up Anne LaBastille...you are perfectly capable...

[@pallerdog]

I think the “first” cabin build from last year became extremely interesting once you started work on the loft and roof. I am VERY excited to see the forthcoming videos on this build!

[@p1nesap]

❤ those vintage tools, hand brace, bucksaw & cool Mora draw knife.

[@BFTEgodswarrio5939]

I have a few hundred hand hewing axes ship builders axes, ades , slicks, all kind of stuff,most are from other parts of the world. Ranging from the 1600s up, sitting doing nothing so if you are looking for something that you can't find , I may have it. Old planes I have a Stanley no 57 with all the attachments wood box planes pull knives. If you need something let me know. Great video as usual love watching every one. Cali is just a spoiled pup, I have spoiled my female Pitt she does just like Cali listens well.

[@der8600]

What a great tool-collection. I just got some carving gouges... very nice and helpful tools. Do you know from Silky Saws. I can recommend them. Best regards from Germany! Lenard😉

(Sorry Shawn and gang)... "There's a Dumb-Trumper in every crowd".

[@PlatinumRatio]

I like Trump and I love this channel. Hating someone because the media tells you to is backwards, and calling people who like trump 'haters' is a bad indictment on you.

[@ChuckHaney]

Haters gotta hate.

[@ChuckHaney]

Voting Trump and straight Republican for the first time in my life. I also have seen just about every video Shawn has ever done and I frequently go back and "like" any videos I happened to forget to like in the past. I also recommend him to my friends occasionally and post his videos on social media. So, … no.

[@simonfreeman6790]

There is nothing else like this out there, this is the best!. Looking forward to the rest.

[@erinhegarty28]

A Halloween upload! And some of the tools do look scary 🎃😂 thanks for the upload Shawn am going to save it to watch until later after I bring my girl trick or treating 🎃🎃🎃🎃

[@ricks.1092]

Shawn...you build "anything" and we will (the viewers) very much enjoy watching it. It's cool seeing the progress you make, as well as, you're using hand tools. And many of us are learning through you. I recently built (by hand) a two room dog house. Even though the dog is inside at night time. Nevertheless, my Abby loves her new house. Your channel motivated me to try this. Now I want to build an attachment to the backyard deck.

[@hartmannvondunaburg6768]

[@davidferreira8258]

Actually I learnt all this from my dad when I was young and he passed away when I was 12 and watching you and the motivation on how you do things it takes me back I'm 38 now and i would love to build something like you did your videos are inspiring and no matter what you've been through like you said and you willing to dedicate time to do something like this I think it's amazing and I'm going to do it thank you so much you're an inspiration for young people to get off their bums and do something

[@hydrofire1296]

I feel the same way! So thankful for the journey being shared on this channel. It probably won't be done solitude but one day I hope to have a similar journey/experience. Love all of the hard work and tools you use, thank you for sharing

[@randyhuybrecht9346]

I agree, I'm 60 now, dont wait, it gets harder and harder each year you get older. Because of these videos though, I'm thinking about building a few "large" deer stands now, thanks Shawn for for walking us through from the ground up!

[@GuzziMatt1]

Once again you have educated and amazed Shawn - frost up to 7 feet deep, you are brave to not only attempt to build but live there. You must really look forward to summer.

[@davidlingelbach9887]

I have a question for you I noticed that you have a lot of your hand tools hanging up on the outside of your cabin how do you keep them from rusting

[@T1mbrW0lf]

For some heavy tools in semi-frequent use (like pulley blocks), a "patina" of rust on the frame won't really cause any problems. Other tools (axe heads, saw blades, augers, pulley sheaves) can be oiled or waxed to protect them from corrosion. Neglect affects tool condition far worse than rust . . .

[@Banjo-lm2wl]

HI Shawn cant wait to see all the building work God bless xx

[@JF-fx2qv]

I'm not sure why people would thumbs down? If one is into the outdoors, dogs, tools, and building …. even if a person has done it all already; I'm lost to a why thumbs down? Looking forward to your build.

[@edwardcarney7569]

Whoop whoop, Shawn’s building again! This is what I love, whilst you were talking I was reflecting on last Christmas, lazing in front of my fire in a not so snowy UK. Watching you in your glorious snowscape beavering around. Can’t wait to see how this project turns out! When do you plan to offer guided tours?😉

[@guyguy1614]

Thank you for tell us when you get tools for free. Its the worst went youtubes channels grow and they sell out. They pimp all kinda crap. I dont get that from you and your channel. God bless you and your family

[@guppy2129]

Thanks for all your videos! Look forward to watching this building come to life. I have a question about doing everything by yourself. Are you completely against asking for help & if yes, why? Thanks for sharing!

[@kellwng]

Cool, thank you for sharing. And Cali is looking healthy and loved as per normal.

[@denverspaugh6631]

Try a wood burning technique for the gutters, start with a small notch and put a hot coal on it and blow the coal where you want it to burn. Some people make bowls this way.

[@pacechcz]

Why those dislikes on this video? Oh, I almost forget there are those creepy people who hit dislike simply to have a feeling of daily accomplishment. Sick!

[@Jakej904]

A hand pump into a basin then out of the shower head would be a interesting way of making a shower work. Plus it would keep your power demand low.

[@hoamai2734]

It's weird that people worry about cutting down trees. Most forests need thinning out, don't they?

[@おとはまちゃん]

What are you planning? Is the design drawing in your mind? Is not that fun from being made?

[@matisfuste9179]

You are the best 😁

[@thomasarussellsr]

Hey, Shawn, have you thought about laying the moss or plant matter in between the logs as you build? Then you can use that great knife to trim off the excess inside and out. I've seen this done in other log building videos. It seems like a good way to make sure the moss goes all the way through. Just a thought.

[@ludatrades]

Awesome can't wait. Make sure to plan everything out so you have drains in the right places

[@locksbog4270]

Absolutely looking forward to this build!!! 👍👍👍😃

[@i.g.noreme825]

I've seen you use this attachment on your chainsaw that lets you cut large slabs from logs by cutting them lengthwise. What is the attachment called and does it work well enough so that you could recommend it?

[@MySelfReliance]

It’s an Alaskan chainsaw mill, which is what I used to rip the bottom log in two. It works great with a sharp ripping chain and powerful saw but it’s slow

[@richardsabean5781]

Hey Man ,,, the blue adz is used to do a lateral grove in a shrink fit cabin.. the one you have needs a bevel on the bottom side of the blade so it won't stick in,, yours will just stick in the wood,, .. I've warn out a couple of them.. So grind from the point,, on the bottom back about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch to give the adz a place so it will cut out wood & not just stick in.. same as the boat builders adz,, The bevel lets the wood to chip out.. Thanks for not cooking,,, your making me fat... lol..Love your way of life,, & your outlook!!!! lived off grid for years & years. moved logs with a draft horse!!!. Gin pole ,,come-a-long,, block & tackle will lift anything.. I put up one log on a cabin 53 foot long alone.. made walls outta 20 inch butts with 14 inch tops.. Aloha my friend!! be safe..

[@sammoslimani9069]

love this channel and everything you do on your land . You are a inspiration and a great role model so keep up the great work :)

[@gusviera3905]

Hello, Shawn and thanks for sharing your journey. To the practiced eye, it is obvious you are either a journeyman or you have done a lot of studying and practicing. You are doing it right and well-done, sir. You have an experienced approach and you use your head. You have my admiration. If you asked "Is there anything else I should include to help others build their tool kit?" I would say that marking devices are a must and are often forgotten. And in the bush, you can't just pop down to the store. Leads for the scribes, construction pencils, perhaps a Sharpie-like marker. And chalk line powder. You know the list. Thanks again...and I am a subscriber and I give a Like to each videos. Keep living the dream and enjoy your winter.

[@pikayell]

Great timing! I have the same project with a bunch of wind-downed balsam fir.

[@godislove201]

How in the heck can there be 118 thumbs down on this video? I may use power tools and such but you've been such an inspiration with the things you build that I'm actually getting into a raw material mindset.. Logs, stone and clay. Thanks Shawn.

[@joefrank7159]

"Tools. Lots of Tools". "He Who Dies With the Most Tools Wins". Enjoy your videos. Great job! And thank you.

[@virginiareid5336]

Will be waiting for this build. The tools you are using are very interesting to me.

[@ashenverdict]

Sauna needs a lot of heat, how are you going to generate it. Will it be a wood burning stove similar to the one you have in the cabin?

[@jenky1044]

The first tool you showed, the Veritas Log Scribe is a nice quality tool. You have a great selection of antique tools. I find some of them antique tools are better than the new ones. I can't wait to see this cabin. Hopefully the snow holds off a bit longer for you. God bless you and your family Shawn. Have a great day.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Over the last few years, I've found that a lot of the antique/vintage tools are better than the new ones. With patience, selective shopping, leads to them often being more economical, too. While there are good exceptions, much of what's available today have poorer quality metals, embedded plastic components and sloppy craftsmanship. There's a place for inexpensive tools and even disposable tools. IMO, working logs, by hand, isn't the place for most of them.

[@murrayandru7527]

3:13 Cali says you started with out me Pa?? Makes an entrance..lol Awesome video , Great Life style too, All the Best Mr. James and Family.

[@Ha4r4eset]

Talking about tools, can you please make a video on your filming/photography/content editing gear? You talked how everything takes you longer because you're filming, which is understandable. I'd love to see a video of you making the videos. Loving your work. And Cali. She's a true lady.

Looking forward to this build Shawn. I like the idea that most of this is done the "old school" way, no power tools. Make me remember how our ancestors did this many years ago. Cutting a life out of the Bush, building a life with their bare hands and basic tools. I'll be following you each and every week. Thanks for sharing this with us Shawn. Have a great week. 😊👍

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

I know you're into the whole "hand tools/old ways" thing, and I get that - but since you also have things like an electric Fridge and a chainsaw why not then a 4-wheel drive small Side-by-side or woodsman type 4-wheeler like a hunter would use? you could drag much bigger logs with one, pull out rocks, tow a small sled or trailer for gathering materials, arrange 3 logs into a tri-pod /teepee looking thing and with rope and pulley or cables, pull and raise much bigger timbers to help build heavy stuff???? I mean, since you mentioned so many times in this video how you can only work with smaller wood, why not? Also, unless I've missed it, you never show how far it is, to where you park your truck, or how far off the paved road your cabin and property are?? I'd be interested in seeing that - I heard in the last video or one before it a lot of road noise or engine noise of some sort and wondered if someone was blasting around in a Jeep or 4-wheeler right near your cabin????? Thanks Sir-

[@granteditslifeoutdoors.9194]

A bit of feedback speaking from experience - and maybe you’ve planned some of this already. I grew up with a sauna at our home on a lake. We used it year round. A few years back I built one on my lake front property. Elevate building so you have some airspace under it. Air movement better with bath water draining to ground underneath. Thru the wall wood stove feed is great but if you just feed the stove from inside sauna you’ll save a bunch of headaches. If you bathe in Finnish sauna often no shower heads or plumbing- just buckets where you mix your hot and cold water with a dipper. If you want to sauna in the winter your pipes will freeze. Keep a low ceiling. Make sure to have a gap under the door for fresh air and a vent high up on wall. You want sauna to dry out when done. Wood frame window in sauna room for natural light and a nice view. Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps. Not sure why anyone dislikes this episode. Thumbs up for me.

[@kellogsnotavailable]

You wanna to hear what we think ? You know very well what we think. Let the show begin!!!

[@mikedeclerck1421]

Another excellent teaching session. Can hardly wait to watch construction. Give Calli a big hug from Mike & Ronnie.

As usual, Shawn, the highest quality of video. I will never build my own cabin, but your calmness and obvious enjoyment of the environment warms the heart. As does Cali. Please, my friend, just keep on being yourself! Susie Coreno (below) used the term 'impeccable work ethic'. She hit the nail on the head!

I noticed you said the logs were "six inch diameter." Did you mean radius? Six inch diameter is like a thick branch, those logs look way bigger than six inch diameter.

Hi Shawn some grate hand tools never seen that big saw hope it works well.looking forward to seeing this build 🤔 funny I have been hitting the car boot sale and getting some hand tools best buy so far is a full set of sanly chisel for £10.00 and drills and full bits set for £ 15.00 🌞🌞 thanks for the update and sharing this video.
