Building a LOG CABIN in an Off Grid Bush, Hand Tools Only, One Man Solo, Raising Walls | EP 6
Hello my dear friends🙂 In this video I am finishing three layers of logs on my full scribe log cabin walls. I am learning everything as I go and I am using just hand tools so it is a really slow process. But I am enjoying it and I am looking forward to share it with you!

===============================
More about me:
When I was 20 years old, I dropped out of college and said to myself that I will do what I really want and what I see meaning in. So I decided to build my dream log cabin, all by myself, in the middle of an off-grid bush.
After I left school, I went to work for a while to earn money for trees and hand tools. I spent all the money I earned and my savings on it. Thank God, I already owned the land I have - I got it from my dear parents as a gift and I also bought another part of the land with my own money.
I chose a log cabin for my home because I like it. I build it with the vision of living a simple and peaceful life in it. Having time is more important to me than having money. Of course, nowadays a person cannot live without money, but I would like to live in such a way that my expenses are not so high and thus reduce the need for money. I want to have time not only for myself, but also for my future wife and children. That's why I will try to build the most self-sufficient life possible, in which my own housing, in my case a log cabin, will be the heart of this system.
I chose the traditional method of building - using only hand tools because they are my favorite. There is beauty in simplicity.
Working with hand tools has several advantages: You are able to work off-grid, the entire set of tools you need can fit in one bag, there is better safety when you work alone, you don´t make too much noise when you´re working... so I enjoy it more and I believe you will too, while watching :)
My dear father is a carpenter. I remember that most of the things he taught me while working with wood were precisely while working with hand tools, which required the most attention and practice from me.
My father taught me how to work with wood from a young age, but I have no experience with building a log cabin, so I'm learning everything as I go, and I'm looking forward to what this experience will teach me.
It may not seem like it, but it was a big struggle to get this opportunity to be able to work on my dream, but I finally did it and for that I am incredibly grateful. I also started this KZread channel where I share my entire journey, so if you are interested, you can check it out. There is no one behind the camera, so I do all the filming and editing myself. I would also be very grateful if you would support my journey by subscribing or sharing, if you want to.
Thank you for being here, I really appreciate it and I'm glad you're watching. I will try to make videos as best as I can, so that you get the greatest enjoyment from them.
Thank you all for your attention. Enjoy!

Can't begin to express how impressed I am at your age doing this cabin ! Well done, joints are tight, using only hand tools, looking good ! Rare today to see someone your age showing a love of wood working and with skills and attitude to do it right. Kudos my young friend.

Have you watched Erik Grankvist? He was really young too, worth watching if you’re interested Both are doing a superb job on their cabins
Matthias, I'm enjoying watching you build your log home. As adorable as the inside of your temporary cabin is, I can't wait to see what you do with the log home.❤
Even though I made a comment you may not like, I meant it as constructive criticism and I do love your work ethic and determination to take on such a daunting task.
Привет из Кыргызстана! Случайно увидела ваши ролики и просто была удивлена, что как такой совсем юный и молодой человек может один делать такую тяжёлую работу, да ещё вручную без электропилы! Очень восхищена! Просто супер! Молодец! Удачи и успехов тебе! Дай Бог здоровья и благополучия! С меня лайк и подписка!
Молодец! Привет из Москвы!
Парень молодчага - плотничает будь здоров !
I’ve been watching for a long time on the Erik Grankvist channel how he builds his house from logs. He has already built it and is now working on the interior arrangement. I was looking forward to seeing someone else start their project. Great start. I wish you easy work and great success. Greetings from Chechnya! PS: Always wear work gloves

when the logs dry they shrink significantly, so waiting to scribe the logs until they were dry means a much better long-term fit between the logs and at the joints and less movement from those joints in the long-run. So, yes, it's much harder to cut them when they are dry, but probably better in the end.

Nice. Hard work you must feel fulfilled with this effort.
Good going! You're becoming a log builder.
Looking good! Very impressive. I like the little cabin you built to stay in while you build this. I love the tools you are using. Reminds me of my dad's tools. I think you are brilliant. Best wishes and thanks for sharing your adventure!

Looking great. you have really good skills. The only thing I would add is overscribing on your notches at the very top. At the very top of the notch I would leave a 1/4 or so gap that allows for compression and settling as logs dry. It is covered by the next log so there is no air getting in but you don't want the log sitting on that and have the notch open up. Its a lot of work and using all hand tools takes a lot of effort. That must be why you can wat 4 pork chops;)

If you don't make it as a Carpenter, you have a future with KZread.
In my first log building I had issues with notches too big too small etc. I then got a book written by Robert Chambers Log Building Construction Manual. In that book he has a section on log selection rules: Butt 1, Butt2, Tip 1, and Tip 2. By measuring all your logs in the log yard you get an average size and there is a formula for which to select next. I never had any issues on the subsequent builds. Unfortunately I can't remember the formula and don't have ready access to the book.
@MatthiasCabinChronicles
5 ай бұрын
Yeah, I know that there is this book. I would like to buy it because I saw that many people recommend this book. I follow this scheme (Butt 1, Butt2, Tip 1, and Tip 2) and so far I have not had a problem with this scheme. When choosing next log, I try to look a few steps ahead to be sure that everything will work out.
This is really cool I bi8nged it all so far. Going to binge the rest of it too. Have to ask, just how many people are you cooking for?
Another great video of your progress. I'm curious : Were you on your own all the time ? Is the land owned by your family ? Are you actually sleeping in the tent when not building/ crafting? How far are you from any stores for your food. And do you have means to contact anyone in an emergency? It's just riveting watching you progress. I love it Keep Safe.

Matthias, I live in Alabama. I've never built a log cabin, how ever, that is what I want to do. I've watched you build the tiny cabin, and for this to be your very log cabin. You seem to be doing quite well, honestly. I'm curious to know just how old you are? I'm 51, and I know it takes lots of time, and a lot of hard work to build anything after being in construction my entire life. So, if you don't mind, how old are you?
