I want to teach you how to build your own log cabin. HI, my name is Paul and welcome to my channel.
The Dream of my wife and I from childhood was to live in a log cabin in the country. Shortly after we married, that dream became a partial reality with our first off-grid log cabin, secluded in the foot hills of the Ouachita Mountains. Some years later, just down the valley, I built the log home of our dreams where we have lived and raised our family for nearly 25 years.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with other professional log builders and have gleaned much from their knowledge. With that being said, my desire is to provide you with complete detailed information so that you can build your own log homestead, be it from off-grid tiny cabin to refined log home.
Next to God and family, log and timber building is my passion. Please join me as I endeavor to help you on your journey to making YOUR dream become a reality.

wonderful craftsmanship. Also, that is a very beautiful cat :)
Beautiful
Great video thumbs up!
Fabulous job.
Sounds like it fishing time to me . 😉 good job 👏
what is your thoughts on using poplar logs for the walls?
Howdy y’all- if I had poplar logs l would use them. Unfortunately we don’t have any in our part of the south. Wishing you the very best. God bless
Beautiful work boys !
Howdy Terry- thank you so much for the kind words and for watching the video. God bless
Use slight different heights on the threaded rods goes on easier my idea I sent to you my friend !
Howdy Scott- I couldn’t remember who had come up with that idea but it sure does work great. Thank you so much for sharing that tip. Hope all is well and God’s blessings blessings to you
I can only imagine joining two logs using a hand drill as they would have done 200 years ago. This was great! Have good days!
Howdy Buddy- yessir, that would have been a job for sure. Glad we have electric drills and tools nowadays. God bless
I hope I did not miss something. Did a company provide these logs? If so, could they have made the cuts for the mortise and tenon or did that raise the costs too high. It's great to see that piece fall in with just a couple of taps. On to episode 5 part 2.
Howdy Buddy- these logs were cut and milled locally. I start with the timbers or logs as they are delivered and do all the work to them. Cutting so many different pieces l would be the only person who would know where to do the splices. God bless
I would have like to have seen how you cut the notches for the floor joists. Of course there would be a good fit. On to episode 5.
Howdy Buddy- I appreciate you watching the videos. Watch Episode 3 on the Ozark mountain log building. That’s the video where I showed how l did the joists pockets. Hope you enjoy. Take care and God bless
Haha I love the ending. I sure can relate!
Howdy Matthew- yep, it’s safer to just go along with the Lady Boss lol. Thank you so much for watching the video. God bless
I'm starting thanks to you Paul. You're my Roy Underhill.God Bless you.
Howdy Matthew- I sure hope you enjoy watching the videos. Hopefully, I have shared the information you need to build your own log cabin. I’ve been contacted by many people who have watched our videos and built their own cabin. That makes me feel so good to hear from people that were able to take our information and tips and do their own. One of the coolest is a gentleman in Sweden who had never built anything. Look up Live Free Or Die Trying KZread channel. I think you’ll enjoy him. God’s blessings to you
Chúc gia đình vui vẻ☺🧋⚘⚘

This is my favorite build I've seen of yours. It's due to the size. I have a big lot up in the mountains of N NM where I'd love to build something similar. There's only one old cabin from the turn of the century left up there. The rest are from the early 1950s, built by WW2 veterans of engineering companies who returned home with the skills to build several skii lifts and homes for temporary winter housing in a little village with a reputation for for drinking, dancing, gambling, and fighting The gold and silver mines had played out decades before, so tourism became the bread and butter. Those WW2 veterans were Christians and with the popularity of snow skiing and the economic boom of the post war era several built multiple single room rental cabins during the 1950s and '60s. Then they built churches all across the village. Tourism won out and there are only two saloons left and they keep it low key. The village has managed to keep out all commercial chain businesses. There are no Golden Arches to be seen for 40 miles. No chain lodging either. Its quite a commitment for a young family to spend two weeks without drive up coffee, burgers or breakfast.
Howdy y’all- this is one of the bigger cabins I’ve worked on and the one with the most rounds of logs. Fifteen rounds is getting up in the air. Hope you can build what you would like to have. I really appreciate you sharing the information about that area. Sounds like something to see. I enjoy the history of that part of the country. We made a trip out that way some years ago and went to Santa Fe to see the spiral staircase in Loretto Chapel. Beautiful workmanship! Take care and God’s blessings to you
Hear the bell sound, i have several that used high carbon steel for the entire axe and they cracked.
Have James- they do have a ring to them. All of my broad axes are old axes that have been restored. All of them have the good tool steel in them. Thank you so much for watching the video. God bless
Wow, that's the biggest one I've seen you build and it's awesome, beautiful work Paul can't wait to see the finished product
Howdy Geoffrey- it’s not the biggest as far as the log portion of the cabin but it’s got the most rounds of logs I’ve done. Fifteen rounds. I sure appreciate you watching the videos and for the kind words. God bless
It's very interesting to see how Americans build houses.
Howdy- what l do is the style of houses built way back when our country was still in the stages of being settled and people were moving to the west. I’m a traditionalist and like to keep the old ways alive. Not too many people build like this anymore. Thank you so much for watching the video. God bless
I check everyday for a new video, if there's not a new one i watch an old one over and over again! EXCELLENT!
Howdy David- I sure appreciate you watching our videos and for the support. Take care and God’s blessings to you
👍👍
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for watching our videos. Take care and God bless

Howdy y’all- thank you so much for your kindness and for watching our videos. The next project will be a tiny bit different. Stay tuned. God bless you
Now that's a pro with a chainsaw ! Great tips amazing work that's a big job :) Feels good when you reach the top, I always get that with the last board or last nail one more step done, Paul you done a fantastic job of showing the steps along the way & I'm sure you can hold your head high Be proud ! Keep them coming God Bless
Howdy Don- you are so kind. Thank you so much for the nice compliment. Topping out is a sense of satisfaction for sure. Hope all is well with you up there and your garden is doing well. Stay safe my friend. God bless you
Wow what a beautiful building.
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for the kind words and for watching the video. Take care and God bless
I liked seeing what I thought were pegs that had been used at one of the splices on the top log. I had also hoped that I could have seen the angle iron going into the slot you made with the chainsaw. Have good days!
Howdy Buddy- yes, those are pegs that hold the splices together. The two videos before this one shows how l do the splices and peg them together. I explain how to put in the angle iron in Ep.38 Dovetail Log Cabin build in our videos. Hope you enjoy watching it. Take care and God’s blessings to you
God bless you.....refreshing attitude and outlook.....You do great work and avery good video....I understand what you are doing and why.....well explained and demonstrated.....Oden, AR and La Grange TX
Hey from New Ulm Tx
Just up the street....
Howdy Fred- thank you so much for your kind words and for watching our videos. Hope all is well. Take care and God’s blessings to you
That is really something. Very straight and clean. A crowning achievement.
Howdy James- thank you so much for the kind words. Much appreciated. Hope all is well with you. God bless
Paul, you and Dan did a excellent job on this Cabin, it looks great, you are very skilled carpenter, I learn something new every time I watch a video, watched video on moving the smoke house yesterday, and building the door and fire pit. Paul really enjoy your videos, I have always loved log cabins, glad to see a new video, looking forward to update on this Cabin, Paul God bless you folks, take care, SUBSCRIBED.
Howdy William- thank you so much for the kind words and for watching the videos. I really appreciate you subscribing to our channel. We have seven log buildings I’ve built on our property and the smoke house is one of my favorite. As soon as cool weather comes around there will be smoke coming out the vents. It works great. Take care and God’s blessings to you
Thank you Sir.
Howdy AS- I appreciate you watching our videos. Hope all is well going well with you. Take care and God bless you
dang they had to have a window through two of the beautiful splices. That was alot of work you put into them but I rekon the practice keeps up the perfection. That house is tall, love it. It is hard enough for me to cut firewood straight, much less cut precision lines. Your work never dissapoints. did they use light duty trusses for cost or ? seems like beefy ones would stand more weather events and time. God Bless you and yours Mr. Paul.
Howdy y’all- yeah, I had to cut out some of the splices but there are plenty more that are seen. The owner decided to use conventional trusses because of the height of the building. His fireplaces would have been really tall. God’s blessings to y’all
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Howdy Bart/ thank you so much for watching the video and for the kind words. God bless
