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.
This video is made by Estonian traditional log building school - Vanaajamaaja

    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.

    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.

    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.
