Ozark Cabin Build, Ep 6 - Joining Two Logs Part 2

[@preachersdayoff]

I've said a thousand times, You are a log cabin craftsman like no other!

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy Brother- you are so kind. Thank you so much. Hope y’all are doing well on the other side of the creek. God’s blessings to y’all

[@zubenelgenubi]

It's a pleasure to watch your work! Reminds me of the gentlemen I worked for as a kid!

[@barrylitchfield8357]

Just another lesson from a skilled craftsman showing the correct way to get-er-done. A master at building with logs. Thanks for the education you're sharing with us common folks. 😊

Howdy Barry- thank you so much for your kindness. I really appreciate you watching our videos. Take care and God bless

A quick question on the splice...if the hole is inch and a quarter, are the pegs slightly larger to future tightly?

[@twohandsworking896]

So nice to see a real craftsman at work in a time of a throw away country,always enjoy your videos-man taking pride in his work-god bless

Howdy y’all - thank you so much for your kind words. Much appreciated. Take care and God bless you

[@Eyepealer]

Well done young man!!! When I went through my apprenticeship a Dutch carpenter from the old country taught me to use a hacksaw blade as they were thin. Now I use a thin kerf finish saw from Germany that really works well. Great job explaining “ how to “ perform accurate joinery. Thank you!!

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy y’all- thank you so much for your kindness. I like using my Silky Gomboy. It’s what I’ve been using for years. I guess once you get used to a certain tool you just keep using it. Those old country guys were some real craftsman. Take care and God bless

The finest wood "Machinist" Ive ever seen. As always very much enjoy your work and wish I could be there beside you learning so to pass it on down. Although Im not sure I could ever replicate such splended work.

good video and job if i was young i would come out there and let you teach me. this is becoming a lost art. most of the log houses being built here are the kit ones. take care, be safe and well.

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy John- don’t let age deter you. There have been quite a few people who have contacted me and are building their cabins. They are in their sixties. A channel you might enjoy is Live Free Or Die Trying. Michael is in Sweden and is building his own log cabin. For a little while a few kit cabins went up around here over forty years ago. We do the KZbin channel so people can get the information to build their own log cabins. Wishing you the very best if you decide to build. God bless you

[@francoisbouvier7861]

I like yoyr scoffed brackets. We used althread on our conventional framed walls. How are you mounting the brackets?

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy Francois- they are attached with all thread with a block of wood on the outside drilled for y’all thread to go through with a washer and nut I put a screw down close to the bottom of the up right piece so it will stay vertical. God bless

[@francoisbouvier7861]

@TheBeardedCarpenter yup. I'm not sure how much wooden soffit and fascia we installed of those things. Likely miles. No OSHA, no workers comp.

[@CMAenergy]

I've never seen anyone build as done Wondering why such huge gaps between planks, Do you remove spacers or place something in between them Or do you collapse them with a glue in between Would make for a really tight closed shell. Or do you leave as is

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy y’all- the gaps are filled with insulation and chinking after the logs settle. The blocking stays in and is chinked over. I normally build with live edge logs and you see the natural shapes of the logs which is how the older cabins were built. Nowadays with access to sawmills people will get them squared up and leave a gap between the logs to copy what the old school log cabins looked like. Thank you so much for watching the video and for the comment. Take care and God bless

Why not circular saw

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy y’all- it would be rather difficult to cut the mortice and tenon with a circular saw. I don’t know of a circular saw that would cut more than 6 5/16” deep. I can cut it pretty close with a chainsaw and clean it up. If you are talking about fitting the splice, I have used a circular saw for that. Thank you so much for watching the video. God bless
