How I Make a Saddle Notch- Ep42- Outsider Log Cabin

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this episode: We continue our work on the log cabin, I demonstrate how I cut log notches, my dad and I stay at the bunkhouse, we go on a cold nighttime excursion to gather firewood, and I test out a powerful LED headlamp.
My dad and I have been on a journey to build our own log cabin. This series of videos is a 'behind-the-scenes' look of our bigger "Log Cabin on a Budget" series.

    Warning to every one, do not start to watch the outsider videos without a huge cup of coffee, because you will be seating for long time without moving, Thank you again guys, I wish I will live close by and help you, I bet when you guys are done with the cabin will be a great pleasure to seat outside and have a bottle of whisky to celebrate, well I guess I have to wait, since I dont want to skip and episode, I be right back I need more coffee...:)

    When I first saw your videos, I just thought you were a punk kid playing in the woods. I was dead wrong. You've shown nothing but dedication and craftsmanship, skipping shortcuts, showing that you've done your research, and willing to make sacrifices (your dirtbike and snowmobile) to accomplish your dream. You've shown craftsmanship and care in your work, given thanks to your father, and been a very stand-up guy. I don't care if the update comes after Christmas, I'm willing to wait.

    I don't know if this will be helpful or not, but I wanted to suggest scoring your notch line with a hand tool, like a chisel. It may not save you any time, and it may not even be worthwhile if you're using a chainsaw. It might give you a smoother notch and a tighter fit. I know time is a factor though. It's coming along nicely, I love seeing the updates.

    I have worked a fair amount with white cedar. Most of my experience has been with sidewall shingling. The longevity of white cedar is stunning. In Massachusetts one house built 200 years before, the nails were rusted through and the shingles were falling off the house. All the shingles were removed, more than half of them were still in good shape and simply turned over and reused on the reshingle. The Quincy Market Place in downtown Boston were originally wharves for the Port of Boston. Those solid block granite walls of the buildings were footed on cedar logs that were sunk into the harbor bed centuries ago. I was there, part of the reconstruction, in 1975 when they were excavated down to and inspected. Living in the noxious mud of Boston Harbor, completely anaerobic conditions, 20 feet down, when a chainsaw was fired up to inspect the wood, the cedar smell of fresh cuts permeated the entire site. The bark was a rotted black slimy mess,, but the wood beneath was as fresh as the day they were sunk and buried, both heart wood and sap wood. With wide overhangs, and the extreme care you took to foot the building, your cabin may become a time machine,, seeing into the future 200 or 300 years at the least. Your good work will be known and appreciated long after your name may be forgotten. There are few writers that can speak across centuries, but your novel, writ large, just might.

    I am impressed and I am enjoying watching how to build a log cabin. I learned how to paint by watching my husband paint our house. I feel like I could build a log cabin from watching your videos. I love to build things with wood like cages & picket fences and mend my deck. Problem is I am a 71 year old woman and everyone tells me I shouldn't be doing these things at my age. I might compromise and build a log house from a kit. You are fortunate to have a forest in your family and as a Canadian in Ontario I am curious what province you are in.

    The log house my father built 42 years ago uses the same notch technique has some hand cut and some saw cut because he was told a similar idea that you mention. You can't see the difference all still solid as the day they were cut. He thinks this is because the open pores are upside down in the notch and self drain. He lives on the west coast of Canada where it pretty wet too.
