Dovetail Jig Modifications

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy Brother- Wow! Awesome video with lots of great information. I really like the jig for drilling the holes. Wish I could help you on a cabin sometime. Take care and God’s blessings to you

[@OnBeaverCreek]

Thanks Paul. If you ever get out to Montana stop in and see me.

Clever design. The hole jig is a great addition. I assume you can run one length of rebar through there at the end to tie them all together? Beautiful mountain views again.

[@OnBeaverCreek]

Rebar, all thread rod. You could add another for wiring.

I wish I grew up knowing how to build with my hands and repairing stuff. I’m 38 years old and want to build a log cabin or small cabin. Wish I could make it happen

[@alena4784]

You can make it happen! There's no one stopping you, but you. You've got this Eric :)

Is it possible for a man to use your jigs with green oak trees also a 20x20 cabin should be bout 1600sf. Bout how many acres of trees you reckon?

[@OnBeaverCreek]

You can build with green logs but you should plan for shrinkage. Best if you can season them for a year. Draw 4 elevation views (all 4 sides) and draw in each log. Label each log. Cut trees and buck them up into lengths according to your log list. (Make a detailed plan, determine quantity then cut the logs)

Nice video, greatly appreciated.

Have you ever climbed up that mountain behind you? Just wondering how cool it looked from the top.

[@OnBeaverCreek]

It's been a while but yes I have been up there. It's a nice view from up there

Really enjoy your videos, I'm planning on building a log cabin, have already picked up a bandsaw mill. I'm going to be using 6 x10 milled logs. So I guess I'll be ordering a jig from you. Walter

[@OnBeaverCreek]

Sounds good. 6x10 is a good size log.

@@OnBeaverCreek, hi there I was asking you a notching jig a couple of months ago. Just wondering if you take EMT for your notching plans.
