😂beautiful work and traditional Norwegian ways! Well done…

[@krasstoff]

Amazing. This archaic craftmanship is just art. Nothing less. Those carpenters must take a lot of pride in their work. Thanks for sharing.

[@SeekingSnow]

I watched this enlightening build when it was first posted here. Then in the fall of 2018 I was able to visit Norway with my family and see it for myself. I was star struck to experience it in person!!!

[@janwintraken]

I was there this Summer. The craftsmanship is truly breathtaking. We arrived there at lunchtime and just made it out before closing time because i couldnt get my eyes off the cabins.

[@geneticdisorder1900]

I was waiting for the awesome gentleman dude to pick up the tree, put it on his shoulder and drag it back to the job site ! 🤨 🥰 Beautiful craftsmanship !!

[@g1org1dalaka1]

One of the best countries .. with best wishes from Georgia

[@saetmusic]

Fantastic skill and traditional knowledge! I hope this is all being preserved!! I have seen my ancestral Norwegian log houses and interior cabinetwork. Fantastic that it is still being done!

[@saetmusic]

The old master builder REALLY knows his stuff! In Japan he would be considered a National Treasure!

[@norskfolkemuseumoslo]

@crnimajstor Thank you! We will consider doing subtitles, but we can not promise anything. Thanks again!

[@StephenMortimer]

Still WAITING !!

[@meganerd14]

I would give anything to live the way these men live.

[@dungeonmaster6292]

So give it all up and get out there

[@WV591]

Amazing and hypnotic. wish we had these vids back in the 60's instead of those psychedelic lamps.

[@ideamanrick1]

wow, those skills need to be remembered and passed on forever... that was great to watch even though I had no idea what was being said...

[@omega1231]

The most important thing that was said is that this technique was used for most buildings far into the 1900s.

[@timothylongmore7325]

Uh , it gos back a wee bit further than that. Check out "the craft of log building " by Hermann Phleps. It's amazing. As are these guys. I've used the designs for many projects in this book. Haven't found anyone with deep enough pockets to have me do anything as elaborate as this... wish I could.

@@timothylongmore7325 Guess you misunderstood the answer, which was referring to the fact that this technique was still used into last century. - Not as early, but as late as..

[@ask4982]

Tusen takk for dette. Jeg husker enda besøket mitt til Sagastua da jeg var liten. Siden da har jeg tenkt på dette når vassgrøten står på bordet.

Love the collection of planers, axes and adz, marking gauges, etc. I need more in my woodshop.

Im sorry I don't speak or understand what is said in this clip but still really enjoyed it.. I would love to see this happening first hand and help out. Amazing stuff wish there was people building like this here in Australia.. Great stuff lads

wooooooooooooooooooooow for en fin måte å vise hvordan ting kan gjøres. Dette vil hjelpe andre kulturer også, særlig de som ikke har teknologi eller penger. Amazing production! Takk for det!

[@littlebaby5227]

Du mener altså at det bare er nordmenn som har en byggekultur og at andre kulturer bare er dumme og primitive? Nei, denne videoen er nok fin for å vise folk norsk kultur, men jeg tror ikke den kan brukes for å lære folk å bygge et hus. Dessuten vil ikke et slikt hus være gratis å bygge selv om en gjør arbeidet selv. Man må for eksempel ha tømmer. Det kan bli svinedyrt og det er derfor få som lager tømmerhus i dag. Jeg tror du ser litt for mye potensiale med denne videoen.

[@Vingul]

@@littlebaby5227 svært imponert over at du presterte å lese inn i Alejandra sin kommentar at det *bare* er nordmenn som har en byggekultur og at andre kulturer bare er dumme og primitive. Nesten rystende godt gjort av deg å lese så til de grader ikke mellom, men langt, langt utenfor linjene.

I could not agree with more Jack, what skill he has. I hope others close to him stick around to learn. I wish I could. Cannot get tired to watch it.

[@mortenkalland]

koselig å se. Skulle gjerne sett litt info om tømrerne i info under videoen på KZbin.

The Craftsman ship and the quality of that cabin that you built is absolutely the most beautiful and pristine log home I have ever seen in my life your skills are immense and a beauty to watch especially the final outcome what wonderful Craftsman you are all of you wonderful job I would like to be able to watch and see the things that you guys build I would enjoy building something like that beautiful job absolutely love it

[@expatriateprepper]

Real men, real workmanship

[@laftegal]

No students, this was a special project which was built by top craftsmen from 1991 to 1994 as part of the Museums 100 yr celebration.. It is a copy of an existing home of the open-hearth type. The original is Approx 300 years old. It¨s name is "SAGASTUA" after the Norwegian oil company which financed the project. Made at the Open Air Museum in Oslo to demonstrate how people lived in "olden times". The master carpenter who carried out the work is called Ole Karl Prois and 2 assistants.

[@markcummings6856]

Thank you for the information.

[@msheadhunter]

Oh whoa wow absolutely outstanding craftsmanship. A total solid built home. Love this, I wish it was mine😌 🇺🇸 👍🏻✌🏼️

[@tstep522]

This is all beyond impressive!

[@kreistgrinder]

Meget godt dokumentert.

[@timmian85]

Those are some gnarled old hands. He's even missing part of one of his thumbs.

[@sindrek9779]

The result of a life behind the axe to be sure

[@Superknullisch]

Yeah, but strangely enough on his right hand, hmm... usually all the scars and decapitations will be on the left if you're right handed. Or maybe one day in his youth, before acquiring the proper skill level , he went lefty with a one handed axe!

[@Superknullisch]

Is anyone interested in some subtitles? I'm Swedish but we do understand most of Norwegian so I could give it a shoot.. though it will take some time and effort and I will only be able to post it as a comment. But, perhaps the "Norsk Folkemuseum" (The museum of the people) will see the comment and add it to the documentary. Cheers! Ha de gött!

[@Anomalous-Plant]

Please do if you can!

[@spinkyl9559]

Wow, I thought it WAS Swedish, I understood most of it but I just thought they were from up north or something, oops! These old videos are the best thing about youtube.

[@zemljace]

Haha, as soon as the music started i knew it was going to be a good log cabin video. =P

[@MatsErikTeigen]

Nydelig! Denne laftestua vil stå i mange hundre år, i likhet med andre middelalderloft i Norge, i motsetning til dagens bygg som har en "best før"-dato

[@robertnorris3036]

Great video! Wish it had english subtitles would love to read it.

[@bogusswe]

+Robert Norris Doesnt matter. Its mostly "now his putting a log on top of a nother log..."

[@comfusedWorldpassanger3399]

Subtitle wouldn`t helped so much. As a Norwegian I don`t know these words, so it would be diff. to subtitle the video.. - This lafte method has been used since the middle ages in Norway. The craftsmen in this video, are making a museum, using the " old way ". - Every notch has eight different sides.. and they must fit perfectly.. Not an easy task ! It is amazing to watch these craftsmen work. Make it look so easy.

[@lnesland]

Fantastisk bra håndtverk.

[@JuanCarlosROU1]

I dont see joung people learning the trade...When these old masters die, this beauty work will die too..Sad.

Outstanding .....................Thanks

[@donttread5414]

would love to see more about the foundation, is it just loose rocks on the floor?

[@BlockhomeTV]

This is great, the Norwegian old timber craft buildings, farms and churches. We report about since many years.

[@caetanog.6517]

la humanidad es impresionante y su capacidad de construir.felicitaciones.los saludo desde Colombia la linda. Cahetano G.

[@laftegal]

Only a few logs were prepared in the old way (for the camera) Most were done on a saw-mill. The project was also research to find out how craftsmen worked in former times. Nothing was recorded when the original was built. People were illiterate. The notch has hidden saddles, a common feature in the middle ages. The block and block-recess in the notch ensures that the notch is stable and that the core-wood ( notch-neck) is retained. All log building was done by hand using old tools and methods.

[@sdjnwhyNZ]

I like the design of goosewing axe. It's very handy for fine log work.

[@larryevan6085]

Thank you for the video.

[@andresconrado]

If you please, can you add English or Spanish subtitles? This knowledge is precious. Watching helps a lot, but knowing what it's being said would be incredibly helpful.

[@44musher]

[@Bret4207]

[@jaimeaugusto7437]

Trabalho fantástico!

[@jhonthebee]

beautiful work . loved watching it . but didn't quite understand the need for the extra support beams on the outside between 31 and 35 minutes in the video . kind of over kill . can someone please explain .

[@olemartinbare]

If you're talking about the rafters on the outside of the gable walls, it is there to support the roofing and it also creates a roof overhang which again protects the logs against harsh climate with heavy snow and rain.

[@markcummings6856]

Just incredible. But how does that roof not leak as those birch bark under pieces looked like there were gaps?

[@Anomalous-Plant]

Hey, if someone who can understand the language could please help? at around 34:00 you can see a "porch" section installed, which is built on vertical timbers. As the walls of the main building dry and shrink, but the vertical beams remain almost unchanged, wouldn't that lift the roof rafters off their place from the "porch" side wall?

[@zoravar.k7904]

You can see at 36:11 that they have left some slack for the wall to settle. They don't seem to talk about it specifically in the video. Also this isn't exactly a porch, but a "cool passage" (svalgången) where you can store some dry goods. There is literature about this style of cottage building, although I'm not sure if it's translated.

[@Anomalous-Plant]

@@zoravar.k7904 Thank you! And yes, that is why I used " " with the word "porch". Didn't find another word for it.

Bloomin' marvellous! :D

[@timbarry5080]

Awesome. I wish I knew what he was saying

[@norskfolkemuseumoslo]

@Tsarina88 Tusen takk!

[@maximkorotkov]

This technique deserves respect, cause there is a lot of work, too much work I would say. But in my opinion Russian way of notching round logs is easier and more practical and more ancient.

[@LogHewer]

In this method, making the logs an oval shape removes almost all the sapwood and leaves only the heartwood to resist the elements, which is very durable. I've always loved Russian methods and architecture, too. Wooden houses are beautiful.

[@chuckystuff69]

I loved the video, but unfortunately couldn't understand a word they said, so often didn't understand what they were doing and why. It was a pure joy to watch though. I suppose my next goal should be to learn Norwegian so I can understand.

[@Timbyte]

holy moly, built like a tank.

[@johnroddy8756]

Credit to them.I love such a cabin

[@loqman1423]

Fantastisk laftet hus

[@brownpaul476]

what type of axe was he using to cut out the notches?

[@DupeyXD]

Broad axe

[@Raflemakt]

"Laftebile" is the norwegian name. "Laft" is referencing the technique of building with horisontal logs, "bile" is a category of broad axes. There are different traditions in different areas of Norway, both for the notches and the axes.

[@crnimajstor]

Please put English subtitle! Movie is excellent

[@NorduvalDelmondes]

parabens lindo trabalho parabens amigo

[@geraldtakala1721]

There is a Finnish gentleman here inOntonagon who uses similar techniques to build beautiful log homes.

[@dannelson5267]

Seemed like a lot of work to create the passageway few feet away from the log wall. What was it's purpose?

[@pelementmaker]

weather protection for meat, or most likely to keep firewood dry.

[@bardfinn]

For when it snowed - it prevented snow drifts from snowing the occupants in to the house.

[@charlesbrousseau3988]

I thought the same thing, it is very ornamented too, what could be the name of that kind of room/passageway? We can see it almost completed @36:26 Thanks in advance.

[@niklasbackman]

It´s called "svalgang", or "cool passage" directly translated. Check also the storehouses or "stabbur" which have svalgang around the whole 2nd floor.

[@tempo2921]

Do they still build houses this way nowadays in Norway? If so is there some places where they give some classes?

[@Heimdall01]

+igo veher : Did someone answer you question? Yes, some houses are still being build this way. You can also take classes. But they probably use more modern tools, than shown in this video (as this is a museum reconstruction video to show the really old methods!)

[@bjrnbe960]

Think it would be kind of hard translating this, many of the words are old and doesnt translate well into english.

[@MrKirby2367]

[@Tsarina88]

Interessant video

[@williamgermany7710]

Once, I found a forge that sells like these men use at 1:20, but now I cannot find it. I see swedish and finnish axes, german and others, but nothing in this style. For my log work, this would be great. Can anyone help me with a link to a place with sells these?

[@niklasbackman]

Try googling "laftebile", there are plenty of samples and blacksmiths who still produce them.

[@olejonathanhagen9847]

I thinks that axe is called a Hordabile or Hordalandsbile. It's the ''local'' broad axe of Hordaland County in Norway. www.smed-terje-granaas.no/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=6&Itemid=9

[@Gieszkanne]

Great art! But I dont understand why they put the timber on another with a flat surface. That makes them much more vulnerable for draft.

[@modulfleirfall]

They don't. They curve into each other, with room for draft stopping moss in between. The curve is of course upwards, so that water will not seep in.

[@mortenkul]

Er 'svalen'(den fine, ekstra veggfasaden) bare for pynt eller har den en annen funksjon?

[@mirelroso2683]

very nice

[@vatansever..]

They know well what to do

[@fredrichenning1367]

It took me a few days to figure out that I needed those "side angles" on the locking holes, otherwise the similar hole of the upper round log wouldn't fit. I later found out that this is called a "lafteknute" in Norwegian.

[@stefflus08]

The side angles are called a "kinning", which translates to "cheeks". There are all sorts of names in this craft that correspond to human anatomy.

[@happy04346]

[@JiiHooMan]

What does the word "sagastua" mean? Tried to look out from dictionary but i couldn't quite figure it out. Anyways, interesting video but it definitely needs some translations.

[@AlotOfSunInHeaven]

The saga house Stue (stua with definite article) means a small house, usually with only one room, though today it is also used about a living room. And saga means saga.
