Long or short, all your films are mesmerizing and wonderful. Double treat to have both types to enjoy.

[@larrythacker2844]

I like the longer format. Plus 50 looking at the dream you are full filling!

[@harrysavage2933]

I like to see and hear all about what is happening and being said I like long versions thank you God bless you and your family and friends

[@TrustinTimber]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@shannonmongie1128]

hearing you describe yourself as a carpenter makes so much sense, your build has so much craftmanship and care :) I always enjoy your videos no matter what form

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you very much!

[@jlmfoy365]

Half your life cutting and fitting timbers, the other half sharpening up😁. Excellent work, pleasure to watch, thank you. Regards Jim UK.

[@tortuegeniale3044]

Depuis le premier rondin je suis toujours autans impressionné par la qualité et la précision, c’est toujours un plaisir à voir 👍

[@christopherlaudon993]

The longer contact videos are the ones I prefer. Great work

[@Ricki1432]

What an inspiration you are. Handsome job. Greatest build ever. Thank you for sharing and teaching us. Greatings from Portugal.

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you

[@PatNetherlander]

Nice to see your dad having some cabinbuilding time with you. I hope your first holidays as a family were as magnificent as can be. Blessings to them. I hope to see many more videos, short and long, in 2022. Stay strong Trustin!

[@TrustinTimber]

Thanks so much. The Timber Trio is all doing well. :)

[@jessejames9272]

Respect the process. Jus love it. Glad to have some vids to catch up on. Cheers to u n da family.

[@geoffreywilliams7530]

You must have played with Lincoln Logs as a kid! It will be fun to see where your movable cabin finally “lands”. As always…may the force be with you young Jedi!

[@TrustinTimber]

I wish, never even heard of Lincoln Logs until I started building this cabin on KZbin and people kept mentioning it. I did have plenty of forest and real trees, sticks, and stones though. I guess that forced the creativity.

[@nerdskiii]

Want long videos always! Let those other ppl just go to tiktok 😂

[@TrustinTimber]

haha :)

[@nerdskiii]

@@TrustinTimber its true but - you cant win all audiences - you just gotta do what makes you happy.. and your channel is about sharing the build.. ppl with short attention span couldn't build a cabin to start with 😆👍

[@philipmorehouse1069]

I just started watching your channel and liked it right off. It reminds me a lot of Shawn James - when he built his first cabin. It was all done with the use of hand tools to create all the joinery. With this esposide being the long version", I very much like it.

[@toddcaywood2550]

As always, fantastic work. Great job on those dovetails - it brought a smile to my face when it fit so snuggly when in position at the end!

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you very much!

[@markgoode4109]

Excellent workmanship. It's looking amazing thus far; I'll be following your journey to the very end. Thanks for sharing your ideas and skills. Best wishes. :)

[@TheOffGridExperience]

Love the attention to detail. Looking forward to future videos and using some ideas on my cabin Build. Cheers!

[@TrustinTimber]

Awesome, thank you!

[@newfie8181]

Can’t wait to see more progress on your build! It’s beautiful bud!

[@TrustinTimber]

Thanks 👍

[@robertqualls4922]

Wow!! i have watched a lot of cabins build off grid, but i have to say what you have done is awesome. I have taken down 3 cabins and moved them so i get how hard it is.

[@ajones2725]

Thank you . Very satisfying to see the process and the hard work that goes into the final result. Happy new year .

[@jamesfischer5389]

Welcome back! Congratulations to You All on the Addition to your family, and Happy Holidays! Love the Cabin Build, and All of your Amazing Content! 👍🏼🪚

[@maryjanevasconcellos9013]

I like when you explain. I want to see how you build the log cabin. It's getting great. Thank you! Happy New Year! Greetings from Portugal!

[@denniscarreno5882]

Different but effective… Well done!

[@jor753]

Wonderful. Thank you for the longer format it is appreciated. I hope your holidays were fulfilling and that your New Year is a happy and healthy one.

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you as well.

I work at a mill and we make posts and poles so I’m gonna make a cabin that style for hopefully really cheap

[@TrustinTimber]

sweet.

[@paulmonk7820]

Could you use ratchet straps or a come along to pull those tight joints together?

[@TinaPets]

Beautiful! Happy New Year!

[@TrustinTimber]

Happy new year!

[@jaysmith792]

i like the longer have more of an attention span than a gnat !!!!

[@kaspergalloway9536]

I love your build, where can I find the chisels and gouges you used

[@jamesomerritt3229]

You are a top shelf craftsman amazing work. Please be careful working alone especially at night. If I remember correctly you have a family at home that needs you and depends on you. Is your baby and wife healthy and well? Great video!

[@TrustinTimber]

Everyone is doing very well, You'll see them in the next video:)

[@olberarosa2346]

I REALLY ENJOY watching your WONDERFUL VIDEO thanks for sharing ROSA OLBERA

[@TrustinTimber]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@olberarosa2346]

@@TrustinTimber you are so welcome

[@stuartb9194]

Not sure I enjoy being in the old demographic, but I do like longer vids that explain your ideas. There's plenty of short, low attention, benal vids on Tick Tok for those with a short attention span.

[@npo1297]

You certainly have a eye for detail on how to build your cabin. Keep the videos as they are, they are very informative to the process. How come you've got to dismantle and move the cabin ?

[@TrustinTimber]

That's always been the plan. I designed it so it would be easy to take apart. It's going to go much more North. This is where I could harvest the trees and it's only a 45 drive from my house, vs. 2-4 hours where it will likly end up. Just made it easier to get out here for a days work and dry fit everything here while the logs are drying. Also, we don't own this property or the property it will go on yet. Still saving.

[@peterarmstrong8613]

Justin, don’t worry about the stupid demographics, you make a nice production. I think most people appreciate the quality of your carpentry. Don’t change anything, keep up the good work.

[@38below39]

So cool ,, Your Dad is from Saskatchewan...

[@TrustinTimber]

Yep, that's where I grew up. You?

Great videos...I wish you could add more time...30mins+.... Thanks

[@turboturtle5575]

A seasoned supeman 😊

[@symbolsandsystems]

Would it help to wax the joints?

[@whysohigh]

Awesome work. Have you ever made a mistake on a log that made it unusable and had to start over?

[@TrustinTimber]

Actually no. I learnt from my friend Tom who makes birch bark canoes. He said, if I rush it takes for ever. So he just works slow and carefully. The reason is we are working with natural materials that take time to dry. I only have so many big logs so I can't afford to make a mistake. That could possibly mean felling another tree and waiting a year for it to dry. I have made plenty of small mistakes but nothing that has wasted a good log yet. Knock on wood;)

[@whysohigh]

@@TrustinTimber Tom taught you well, you're a master at the craft already. I do a fair amount of metal fabrication and appreciate completing a task without any errors. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questionI'm sure you're quite busy between building, editing and your family life. Best wishes this new year and I'm looking forward to more of the build.

[@johnwilkins7062]

Late Marry X-Mas and a Happy New Years. Have you and your wife had your baby yet.

[@TrustinTimber]

MErry Christmas and Happy New Year, Yeah, we have had our daughter. I posted a photo of the three of us in the community section if you want to see.

[@gorillaninja78]

Don’t really care lol I’ll Watch long or short vids because they are all great 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@nancyblanchard7218]

you said that the cabin is to be move in episode 19...two wear.

[@resolutekravmaga651]

Shawn James has 2 KZbin channels. One for silent work and one where he explains what he's doing. That might work for you and double your viewers.

[@jeffandphoebe]

I’ll watch it all, but prefer slightly longer videos (Gen-X guy). Also, congratulations on the baby!

[@TrustinTimber]

thank you

[@tomhoctor4066]

How is your wife and bundle of joy doing?

[@TrustinTimber]

Mamma and baby are doing very well, I posted a photo of us all in the Community tab if you would like to see.

[@dennismerrills5723]

Did I miss something? Why are you moving the cabin?

[@jackiejonas3377]

Love this channel but I really want to hear about the baby and how both are doing! Im at 14:07 not a word?

[@자유인-n3f]

👍👍응원합니다 👍👍🇰🇷

[@sibergit3655]

👍👍👍

[@dennisthecarver]

I enjoyed this video more then the others because there was no music.. I watch videos like these to see and hear the building process not to hear music, if I wanted that I'd watch a music video with music that I liked. Thumbs up from me.

[@yunusdereli61]

👍

[@rawwillpower4408]

What's the name of the book?

[@TrustinTimber]

It's called Craft Of Modular Post & Beam by J MITCHELL

[@rawwillpower4408]

Thank you sir

[@BhagiSB]

👍👍❤️

[@redrufuss]

What do you mean, you have to "dismantle the cabin"?

[@daniel_charms]

Indeed. Does it mean you're moving it elsewhere - and that's been the plan all along? I guess that'd explain why you've never used any insulation anywhere between the logs.

[@TrustinTimber]

You got it. This is all just a dry fit. It will come completely apart and transported.

[@jefftrag1956]

I am new, somebody explain why he is building it here and then taking it apart to rebuild somewhere else. Thanks.

[@TrustinTimber]

Well, two reasons really. #1 - This will probably get moved a few hours drive from my house. Having it here allows me to get out here more often to work on it and this is where the trees where that I could harvest to build it. 2nd, we don't own the land yet. We're still looking and saving for the perfect property.

[@warnerwells1425]

HOW IS YOUR WIFE AND CHILD. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@TrustinTimber]

They are doing very well, thank you. I think they will be in the next video.

[@sportsman1824]

Great work. I like your videos long or short. Make what you like seeing as you are doing the work. Are you a father yet?

[@TrustinTimber]

Yeah, I think you'll see her i the next video.

[@Josef_R]

I'm guessing there's a substantial demographic that doesn't care to watch you eat multiple meals every episode.

[@MariaAparecida-mz2pi]

Isso não é um a cabana e uma mansao

[@No.1R3dneck]

Explanation? It's all self explanatory!

[@MariaAparecida-mz2pi]

Olá jovem e muito peso pra você só arruma um ajudante

[@No.1R3dneck]

You do realize that it's no piano that you're building right?! It don't have to be done perfectly!

[@Kraber50]

Der redet mir zuviel !!! He talks me too much !!!

[@thomaskissell2416]

So no chinking needed? Wow.

[@TrustinTimber]

I'll probably insulate between the logs with wool when I take it apart for the last time.
