@Rock of ages USA Howdy Angelina and Brother Rock- never give up hope. You never know what lies ahead. Blessings to y’all

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

@Rock of ages USA Yeah, I really enjoy and appreciate Fred and his skills. Blessings

[@OnBeaverCreek]

Thank you all and God bless.

Howdy Brother- this is a very informative video. Love how you used your mill to make the different size and shape of your logs. Just ordered a Woodland Mill yesterday and I’m pretty excited about it. I never thought about moving the mill up or down while sawing the log. That is great information. Thank you. Hope all is well with y’all out there. Take care and God bless y’all

[@OnBeaverCreek]

Howdy. That is pretty exciting about getting the new mill. I think woodland Mills are very good. Good to hear from you.

[@mailmannb7970]

Just came across your videos. Very nicely done! I would like to ask you... how many trees do you think you used to build this?

[@ABC-oo4vm]

We currently reside in northern Florida. We want to construct our own log cabin and have received conflicting information about the proper log species in our area. We’ve even have reached out to various log producers. Keep in mind we have to be concerned about high humidity in which creates mold and concerned about wood boring insects. So that brings us to the KZbin Community to see what opinions are for log species in northern Florida.

[@OnBeaverCreek]

I think Cypress or Locust would be very good if you can get it.

[@OnBeaverCreek]

(Black Locust)

[@ABC-oo4vm]

@@OnBeaverCreek that’s part of our issue, where do you source it form by not pay arm/leg?

[@Vigilante-k4q]

Use palmetto very solid

[@OnBeaverCreek]

I don't know about Florida but here in Montana I have seen log trucks hauling, gotten the name off their door, called them and asked them who owns the logs and if would they sell any.

I'd like to get one of those dovetail jigs. Where can you get them?

[@OnBeaverCreek]

Hi. I can design some jigs for your cabin project. You can order custom plans from logdovetailjig.com

[@ruzicatowers8693]

[@OnBeaverCreek]

I saw that land is very expensive in Canada.

[@Vigilante-k4q]

Can you put your number of materials

[@OnBeaverCreek]
