How To Build A Log Cabin - Simple Straight Lap Notch From Hewn Logs
This video shows a traditional way of making simple straight lap notch using hand tools in a full scribe log construction.
This simple notch historically was not used in living houses, but in small sheds, cabins or saunas where it was not necessary to keep warmth during whole winter. For living houses was more tighter and complicated notches with added windlock mortice & tennon joint.
We will uncover making process of more difficult notches (dovetail notch and Norwegian saddle notch) in further "How To" videos.

Watching wood working is akin to staring at a fire. Can't get enough. Thank you for your work.
great video, loved to hear the actual sounds of the work and not music or pointless banter

In Estonia that's all you ever hear.
Hard skilled work with old fashioned tools, no power tools. Respect.
Men who have learned this skill, can learn and overcome everything what life puts in front of them, you are truly blessed. Glory to the God.
Fascinating. There once were log cabins all over North America and it was men from the North who taught this skill that was quickly adopted here in the new world. Thank you so much for teaching my ancestors how to live well and live comfortably. If it weren't for you, they'd still be building hot and uncomfortable stick and daub homes like their British craftsmen taught them.
Though it’s very time consuming, the traditional way is the most satisfying way of doing this work. Just the sound of tools on wood. No machines buzzing. Great work guys! 🙌👏
I love these videos. They are so calming and educational, demonstrating a unique series of traditional skills normally unseen and unappreciated in these modern times. I can’t wait for more videos like these demonstrating other the notches.
I love the sound of the bark being scraped off

I know this video is several months old but, gotta say it. This IS the best style of home building. This puts today's standards to shame and this is what "traditional" truly means. Been a fan of the channel for quite some time now, the videos just get better and better. Thank you. Cheers :)
Thanks lads , for preserving that which is real and bountiful.Hard work, simple sharp tools, patience and knowledge of this labours result.We can live with or within our beautiful forests.Less machinery more skills, we all need to slow down and reflect, production and nurture off soul.Perfect.
These guys obviously know how to put an edge on a tool! Very good work.
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down?? Simply to be negative, I guess. Nice tools, nice job. Would love to see what the completed work looks like. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you a lot! Love that "building log cabins" videos, pray for more! 😊
The best production you've released in a while. What a pleasure to see sharp tools in skilled hands.
I'm so glad this channel exists!!

It’s a return to more simple times, a time without industry and the hellish racket that goes with it.
Best way to build. Thanks for sharing
Far out, thanks so much for this video ! So educational. I've never had the experience to use hand tools like this before, and now I am inspired.
Tell me how so many can dislike this? What is there to dislike? Imagine the first night sitting in that cabin with a fire roaring, all nice and warm, knowing that you put such incredible effort into making it. And having a fine woman there to make dinner, and to make sweet love to. That’s living! Such precision in making every log into a home. That’s inherited talent. Speaks volumes without a word said. A very satisfying video to watch.

The dislikes are from people that have had the life and adventure sucked out of them and cannot conceive doing something of this magnitude as it would require effort and commitment to finish the job ! So use to hitting reset or respawning on their Playstation! Truly no life ! That's who !

This was a great tutorial and a very pleasant and quiet construction site . Thank you for not putting some noisy music in the background .
That draw knife work is so incredibly satisfying to watch
Beautiful craftsmanship
This video is so therapeutic and relaxing. Stress relieve. The sound are amazing and I love each image. I can sleep or simply rest and meditate with this video. Excellent work.
Love the pulling knife. Such an amazing tool.
Thank you! Excellent video! 👍
these gents know what they're doing, GREAT WORK.
Thank you !!! Enery video of you,is an essential lesson !!!
Last picture, blue sky, white fluffy clouds, wood logs, crazy beautiful!!!
Thank you for these videos, just outstanding
Good job guys, that's really hard work!
Gotta love the sounds of working wood! 🙂
Dear Sirs, It's an absolute delight watching the creation of a log home built with so much passion & care. I look forward to seeing the continuation of this endeavour. Very well done. Kind regards.
Watching the operator stop...and wait... for the boardsman to clear the receiving end of the mill shows maturity of job site safety. Bravo for watching out for your friend and or co worker \0/
I've seen 4 of your videos, but this earned the subscribe! I was thoroughly impressed. I watched a few cabin builds, from other builders, but this one was on the money. Every step was simple and with great purpose. Your cabin is an engineering masterpiece that will stand the test of time!
Hello igazi szakemberek nagyon nagyon ügyesek!!!🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠💯💯💯💯
Very talented, hard working man!!!
Noticed you abandoned that spud peeler in favor of a draw knife. They work much better. Great vid. Brings back fond memories of my wife and I cabin building in Canada.
Wow!! that looks to be a superior method to do logs ....a true art as well.
Best video I've ever seen very simple, hard work but very worth it hope to see more videos like this from you guys God bless
How much relaxing is it...?!
It's been a while. We love your style; thank you for this.
these videos are so therapeutic
Their tools are so sharp!
Very impressive and educational.
If you have never done this before, you should really give it a go. Its very therapeutic, not to mention the feeling you have after accomplishing it. I can work a draw knife all day, and even though it is exhausting, its very satisfying as well. Enjoyed the video.
Hard work, respect from Czech republic
Truly talented craftsmen..

Nothing to do with measuring, it's a fast way to make a straight line. Bricklayers' use a similar tool called a plumb line, for the vertical a string with weight on the end is used. For the horizontal string and a spirit level is used.
Thank you. Good work
My Great Grandfather Blixt built a log home that is still standing strong and looks great. All the modern houses start falling apart after just a few years!
Satisfaction level 10 achieved.
Beautiful Work guys! 👌
Beautifully done.
Love to see a chisel at work. Beautiful build
Awesome video and thanks for sharing
Old School....Love It
This is the video I needed in my life
Absolutely incredible
The logs shouldn't be touching the entire length just the corners. The miss will certainly help with encouraging holding moisture and rotting the logs as well. Good work
BEAUTIFUL!!
Best I've ever seen.
Ok. First off this video was amazing. Second, who watched this and was like “giving this one a thumbs down” haha just crazy
No silly music or endless yapping, nothing but action thank you for sharing
great job

Surely one of the best channels on KZread. Thanks for sharing!
That is unreal! Very skillfull!
Nice rhythm. Nice log tones...
beautiful work
Thanks! Looking forward to seeing more videos
Great work! 👍😎 Alway good to see, that there are still some people left who are able to do this work the old way, without power tools!
I like that bark peeling tool instead of a draw knife
awesome
Amazing!
INCREDIBLE!!
Beautiful work
Молодцы мужики! Спасибо за труд👍💪
Awesomely amazing. More and more will come if you show them how to build it!
A sharp ax and and a good eye and doing it many time over,,tis a real art

Impressive to say the least !
Very enjoyable video thank you for sharing.
These guys are highly skilled and those axes are very good and sharp.
Love that debarker and draw knife
Wow a lot of work tremendously satisfying to watch. I wish it was me I know how it feels to utilize something I’ve built by my own hands I’m jealous.
Great job 😀😀
You guys need to write a book, great video!
