This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
I really thought this was one of the best videos I've seen in awhile. I LOVE the fact that it was 3 good friends helping to build a log cabin that none of them knew how to build ! I really admire your work ethic and commitment to the project. I see many negative comments and people telling you that this or that was wrong, but ignore them. If I was helping you (and I have experience building things but not log cabins) I would certainly have helped you do several things differently. But I wouldn't dare mention what those things are because I wouldn't want to insult you or "take away" from something that you put 100% of your effort, attention, and pride into. And you made it a fun project, working with your friends and enjoying the process.You stated early on that you knew nothing about building things, yet you managed to put together a structurally sound cabin that will keep you dry and warm. It IS AMAZING that you guys worked so hard on this and didn't "cut corners" just because caulking, chinking, or stripping the logs was hard work. I would be proud to be friends with all 3 of you. Thanks for sharing this video with us !
I don't care if your techniques were not "optimal". You got it done. Good job!
Absolutely outstanding job! Thanks for taking the time to share it!
Awesome job. For all critics please realize these are young guys with admittedly little to no experience doing this kind of thing. Easy for someone in the know to point out faults but if I was to built a cabin and it turned out exactly like this one I'd be mighty proud

Hell yeah, with practice, by the time these guys' kids are their age the kids will be asking how dad ever learned such craftsmanship
For non-professionals, this is a superb job!

My lady and i are very minimalistic. This is such a helpful video and i'm sure we would love living in this type of environment.
Very nicely done. I run a large trapline in Northern British Columbia. I'm allowed a line cabin for every 100 square miles,so I have 5 cabins rather identical to yours. The guy who criticized you using power tools has his head in the clouds. I didn't build my cabins for fun, but to survive the frequent -30 cold in the winter. I run a rain gutter along one edge of the roof, and it drains into a 50 gallon barrel for my source of water. Good luck.
You should start a UA-cam channel - I'd subscribe to see a real dude living that life. Everything on tv is ridiculous.
Good on you, sir. Maybe one day ...
injens Dude you are living my dream
You know what was the most important achievement for you guys? Your friendship. You will remember those days more and more often when you get older. Nice job!
Amazing job fellas! Very nice work! Im impressed!
Buy One.
No sense of pride or accomplishment in just buying one!
Not Fussed.
Brisdad53 you are certainly entitled to you opinion. As am I. I do think that they did an amazing job considering that 99% of kids their age would never attempt what they did. Most of their generation is sitting behind a computer and not doing anything with their hands. I think what they have done is awesome and I wish there were more kids their age willing to get out there and work at something and build something with their own hands. Although you clearly are a log cabin building expert and have probably built more log cabins by hand than you can remember these kids havent. This was their first attempt and they acknowledge that it isnt perfect. But they did an outstanding job and that cabin will no doubt provide them with years of enjoyment. They no doubt learned a lot and it is evident that they worked very hard. It is amazing, whether or not you are willing to acknowledge their accomplishment. Stop being an asshole and support their efforts.
***** kids do alot of things with their hands, trust me.
Anyone or company, if corporate America is where they end up, is going to very fortunate to have an one of these guys onboard. They are great at problem solving, strategic thinking, using each other's strengths, trouble shooting, well the list goes on. NICE JOB MEN....
For someone with no prior experience I would say that you did a great job
I say who cares if a few things aren't perfect. this is one of the better traditional log cabins I've seen built. Your video is rad and Deep Purple rocks.
With a 1000 plus comments and plenty of time since you posted this is use your cabin, I'm sure hindsight, being 20/20, has shown you what you should have and could have done differently. This was a massive project you guys took on and I think you did a great job for first timers. I find it so irritating that people can be so negative, especially when most can only dream of doing what you have done. You can stand back, look at your accomplishment and smile with satisfaction. In time, you might make a change here or there, when you're ready and able. It'll still be your creative and physical efforts that made it happen. I was inspired by this video. Thank you for sharing it.
for a guy who didnt know too much as far as building a cabin. BEAUTIFUL job!!!!
nice job guys
if you lock the door it just means there is something worth steeling and theves will
just kick it in .
also if someone is lost it will be a safe haven and it may save there lives .
here in New Brunswick CANADA most cabins are left open and a book left on the table
for anyone that visits the cabin to sign and record the shape of the cabin .
I could never imagine that happening here in America..
we have that in the national parks in Australia too
Good to see young people tackling and completing such a project , Excellent Job !!! be proud of Yourself and The friends that were there to help You !
You did a wonderful job. I'm looking forward to see more videos on the cabin. I have a log cabin, too, however I did not build it myself. We are thinking of building some the size as the one you built in the future. Thanks for the inspiration.
It makes me proud to be a guy when I see some young, inexperienced really put forth the effort, and make something of beauty like this: congratulations BIG TIME. That should last for many years of vacationing and fun,.... and, it's something that you all (and your friends and relatives) can be proud to stay and party in: that had to be tough! More people in the world should do what you have done, and venture from their comfort-zones, and get out a DO shit,... they'd be a LOT happier accomplishing anything besides a paycheck. Again,... a phenomenal job all around, and, WAY to STICK TO IT GUYS!! Outstanding.
Great job!! :) I could easily live in that the rest of my life and never go back into society again other than to get supplies. ......Unfortunately life isn't like that anymore, man I seriously feel like I live in the wrong time period. ,:-D
Actually, it's the best time ever for it. Solar panels are dirt cheap (compared to when they came). The internet is full of information for people to learn ANY skill.
You would have to make sure to avoid the long arm of the totalitarian state forcing you to be tethered to their disease-riddled life systems. But that's manageable in many ways too.
If you lived in the "right" period of time, you wouldn't have the possibility to go back to society for supplies.

I think you did a really good job, it is nice to see young men like you being creative with supplies that you had and it being your first log cabin, proud of you all, and God Bless you...
It's been a while since you've posted an update. I'm curious to know if you are still working on the cabin or if you've finished it. I think it looks great and I really hope you've finished it and post a new update video soon.
Congratulations on your build! It's truly a labor of love! When I was doing major reno's for my Salon some ten years ago. I needed a lot of help. Even though it was only 112.5ft. The main operating area, is a rectangle. But with a cute little alcove that duals as a color/storage-counter/till area. I did a mosaic tile countertop with about five different tiles. That I just put in a pillowcase and smashed. I had a lot of fun putting it all together, even better when I went to grout. I ran out so I just added flour to the remaining grout, and vola! I had myself DYI mosaic counter top! It really looks super sweet, the custom glass top really pulls it all together.
That's beauty of doing reno's your self, you get really creative, and use your brain in a different way. I have to say how impressed I am with your cabin/carpenter skills. You truly are blessed with talent/vision/ and most all drive and motivation. Also your friends are amazing and wonderful to give so freely of their valuable time and energy. every time you guys are their, you can bask in the labor of love, you all created together. Brothers for life! Life really doesn't get much better than that, except well finding a wife and settling down, and having a family of your own.
I think more young people, need to challenge them selfs, and take the initiative, and go get life. It's just waiting for you, to come and get it! I sewer it will meet you half way, and things just start to fall into your lap. And that's God, showing you, that your on the right path! Keep it up, stay blessed young man, and congratulations once again! God loves you, and he just loves to help people, who help others before helping them selves! I can't wait to see more builds from you in the future!
Great job! Hey its a cabin,, and you did it! Must have been one big forest fire.
WHAT!? So many views and no comments!? Maybe people are speechless because of how good this was. You guys should be proud. GREAT JOB.
So cool its a dream of mine
You guys did an outstanding job, especially having no construction background. Gives others the encouragement to give something a shot. Well done.
Yep, metal roof is upside down and it should have extended more past the sheathing. All in all for a first time, not to bad.
for not having any prior experience, you guys did a fantastic job....hope it gives you years of stress free pleasure
looks like you put that roofing on upside down? where i live they call that roofing abm panel. its on all the barns and sheds around here...
Haha nope it's the right way. I know it looks like it is upside down but that's an exterior paint on the up side of the pieces! And the groves in the pieces go on with the larger gaps underneath to provide adequate ventilation underneath!
Lukas P. dude those are definitely upside down lol, but idk maybe they painted the wrong side. either way that cabin is still awesome, pce
Lukas P.
I have seen many log cabins and Lukas is correct.
***** I just installed a roof like that and you are correct, it is upside down. One thing though, my roofing instructions say to use screws with rubber washers on the flat next to the ribs, no through the ribs. I have seen it through the ribs on other brands of metal roofing. IMHO he should remove and re-install the roof correctly. It will be worth it in the long run...
Allright I think we can all agree that the roofing is on upside down. The thing is that I used metal siding from an industrial building for the roof. The I placed up for the roof was the side of the tin that was placed out on the building. That side was coated with an exterior finish, the underside or "correct side" was unfinished. So I understand that it may be wrong but I feel like it was the best way to use this particular siding for my roofing material :D
From someone that grew up working in home maintenance and building little shacks in little houses and stuff like that I'm very impressed with the way you guys did in and admitting that you didn't know nothing and admitting all your fault I'm very impressed in that I don't think I could have did as good as you guys did very very impressed
Nice work especially being able to use fire killed round logs. It will keep the bugs out. When I built mine it was 22 x 32 and hand hewing logs sucks. All the building is round log say for a few parts. The furniture is all round log the kitchen dining set is all built by me form trees around the cottage as well as the stairs leading to the loft, railings etc. The whole thing from start to finish took 7 years. I must say I have lost my taste for building round log furniture for now. Mabe some day I will do some more.
You should post one video from you log cabin James. i see you
i think these guys an awesome job for just walking out n doing it instead of commenting about them on vids.
Why did you install to roof metal upside down?
Good question!! The cabin look great!!
Because in the end, it doesn't matter.
Krystin Morris It matters a little bit. He's channelled the water to run over the fasteners. That's the exact opposite of the roof sheeting design. But, as SurvivorDude said, he was learning on the run, and only a ratbag would begrudge a chap for run learning.
Your correct, that the sheet metal is upside down, but in actuality it offers ventilation between the roof and the sheet metal that tends to create condensation when the heat of the stove meets with the cold sheet metal!
Sparkymax L yes because that is what you want from a waterproof tin roof, ventilation...
It doesn't matter anyway because the top chords don't even correlate with the design of the tin roof, Even if he laid the tin the correct way they still wouldn't line up. makes no difference either way without guttering anyway. Wish I could have a project to work on like this it looks wicked!
We reconstructed an old log cabin in our back yard and LOVE it. Thanks for sharing yours!
THANK GUYS DID GOOD WORK ENJOY I'M SURE YOUR KIDS WILL LOVE SEEING THIS VIDEO IN THE FUTURE. PLUS THE FRIENDSHIP THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME. IF YOU CAN PUT UP A PICTURE IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS ON MY FACEBOOK KEEP IN TOUCH
Wonderful interesting video
Bom Dia
Very inspirational, that you dont have too be a carpenter ,to build a beautiful cabin!Great work guys!
Your metal roof sheets are upside down, the screws are meant to be on the narrow ridges up in the air, not flush with the plywood underneath, so water can't get in the screw holes.
You and your friends did really well mate, excellent work for someone without conscious experience.
good job!!! too bad about volume, but good video still!!
Very well done, and I am impressed with your integrity to stay with the project. Most young people today do not have the fortitude to do this, and it is refreshing to see it again. Stay the course, people will nitpick your efforts, this is envy in most cases. You have a beautiful location to begin your life, and I hope you finish it here and grow your project. Congratulations on a job very well done. TY for sharing this venture.
Just a suggestion, but you shouldn't have your hinges on the outside of the house.
Lol what? I'm from the US and my name means what it says, but I'm not sure this is the best place to start a conversation. ;) lol
***** Ja ich weiss. Ich spreche Deutsche. ;)
***** Tatertots are a food. I suppose if you eat too many you could die, you know after like hundreds lol. It's just a goofy name I came up with when I was a kid.
***** So feel free to message me some time. ;)
Yea I sorda realized that after I put in the door!! Haha but I will probably be making a Dutch door and replacing the old one and changing the hinges! But thanks again :)
Dude your videos help/inspire me so much I just want to thank you! I'm trying to build my own log cabin and be self sustainable when I'm older and your videos made me realize its completely possible you just need ambition! Truly thank you
that damn phone won't ring all day...but it knows when you're recording...embarrass you every time...
Fantastic job, it's amazing to find guys as young as your selves has generally built a living habitat by your selves CONGRATULATIONS! guy and well done
are you using your headphones as a microphone?
***** you forgot to mention it's the worst microphone you can use
For guys that didn't know what you were doing to start you did not a bad job...Congratulations!
Must be a broke back mountain cabin...
If only those guys had a cabin it might have been a better ending
You are very modest about what you have accomplished with a few friends. We all make a few errors when we are learning new things. Your cabin is great and cosy looking. Thanks for sharing a great video and detail on your build.
metal roof upside down...
+Hanchard Ricnah OK so it's not just me.
+Hanchard Ricnah Haha. Good catch.
+Hanchard Ricnah upside down or just something else?
Great job, and great friends. I wish you many years of enjoying the cabin, and the friendship.
Thank you for the video.
I like the fact you guys used so many bolts and screws to hold and strengthen the cabin.Good sound structure. Excellent job!God bless.
Best little cabin I've seen on u tube awesome! Years of fun and your kids will sleep there some day. Thanks!
This looks awesome - huge respect that you make it with no real prior knowledge, a testament to hard work and perseverance!
As a 53 year old professional carpenter, I say kudos to you. Sure, one could tediously nit-pick from ones' armchair over any # of minor mistakes that you perhaps have made, but all in all, a fine job, and I admire your go-for-it attitude to get it done. You rock.
best thing i have ever seen. no one should ever have a negative thing to say about this! outstanding job guys well done.
You did a great job, especially for your first time and with your experience. You have a lot to be proud about. I hope you and your friends have a lot of great times there.
Great job! I am so impressed with your drive and motivation! BECAUSE it was your first time and you were so candid about your abilities or the lack there of, you have been an inspiration! I JUST love it!
Great job guys. I'm sure you had fun building your cabin and you have every reason to be proud.
Love the cabin. A great place to get away to get away from everything. Just to sit on the porch and watch the sun set is all some! Great build.
that's awesome bro three mates building something together like that. that's a great bond to have. wish I had some area to build something like this. great vid
I think you and your friends did an outstanding job, and that view...simply gorgeous!
Sweet! You accomplished every man's dream...your own way!!! Great job!
I think you guys did a great job. Every cabin is unique and I like yours very much. Better than most I've seen. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful Job , the only thing that matters at the end of the day is that it keeps you warm in the winter and dry in the spring.
Thank you for sharing.
I love how you make it look very doable. And also voice your concerns.
Lots of UA-cam experts commenting but I thought this was a really cool video. I've always wanted to try this (along with a lot of other people I'm sure) but you actually did it, learning as you want. That's awesome.
Great job guys. I can appreciate how much sweat equity you put in to your project. I built a log cabin from scratch a few years ago. Just peeling all those logs will discourage most people. I particularly like your loft ladder and your front step stringer design. Enjoy it and thanks for sharing.
Reminds me of when i lived at a summer camp for a year! I built one big enough for one person it was a great memory :)
You guys did a fine job. I have built many over the years starting at age 15 with no training and each one got better as I went along. So I am sure it will be the same for you. Congrats.
Lads i am amazed at your work and how simple you have constructed the cabin, very inspirational.....
Just wanted to say. Very impressive work. Nothing is perfect. But that is something to be proud of.
Hey, you guys did a wonderful job! You all should be proud of yourselves. People might point out the "mistakes" but I think it's a great little cabin all and all!
I live in sunny Mexico --- you built a great cabin and it makes me want to come back north and try building one myself -- most people who made comments about the tools probably never built a cabin like this -- great job --thanks for sharing !!
For a first cabin build you guys did a great job, and picked a wonderful spot to build it. Well done.
Great work, and great memories with your buddies for years to come. Hope y'all enjoy it! I just bought a nice piece of and up in Oklahoma, and I'll be doing the same thing.
This is the best video I have seen in about a year. Great job, I am thoroughly impressed.
For a first time and no experience I think you boys did a wonderful job! Congratulations and may you have many happy times in your log cabin for many years to come.. :)
I was thinking about furniture for your cabin. In a simple life, a recliner that lays flat for a bed is very versatile and comfortable. You have a work counter, having a stool will be good for longer projects. A bench that is wide enough to sleep on and folds up to give you more floor space is versatile; when it is a corner with a fold down table, then you have another eating/project place. The table in the corner you built can be converted to something like in a camp trailer...the height of the table can drop to bench height to form a wide bed. Some day, you may not be climbing up to the loft, or you may have company that is either not comfortable climbing up there, or you may want to sleep more people for a night. A top bunk can fold up and away and can serve as a large shelf to store items. Hope these ideas help.
Amazing job and video too..I like nature and life in wilderness! Thx. for sharing. Greetings from Canada.
Well done. While others are sitting around bored out of their minds - you and friends did something cool. Congrates
Great job. Yes the roofing was upside down . But as long as you used the rubber washered screws you it will be fine. I'm a builder for 25 years now and your cabin is better built than a lot of newly built homes that a lot of so called contractors build . Kudos!
Great job. Suggestion though is to leave it unlocked for lost hikers to use if necessary. Only keep the bare essentials in the cabin unless you hide something in a secret compartment. Vandals could be an issue if they need to break in. But vandals are unpredictable and could destroy it whether or not they can access it. However, Lexan is preferred to glass for a cabin.
You guys did a great job! Enjoy and can't wait to see all done on the inside. Kudos!
You did an awesome job with both the cabin and the video. Thank you for the showing it to us !
Great job..! I admire your effort, ingenuity, endurance and determination. All the best to you. Have loads of fun..! Thank you for sharing.
Budy, it was a great project! Small and nice! It´s look soo confortable. Congrats! Awesome job!
Nice job, good to see a couple friends take on a build like that and see it to the end.You guys should be proud of your cabin. Thanks for the video Jim W
Great job, glad you had the learning expirience. The only thing I could knock was you putting the roofing iron on upside down. Besides that thanks for taking the time to record and share it with us.
You guys did an awesome job!!! Be proud of your hard work.
GREAT JOB Lucas, well done bro!!!
You guys are very skilled and gifted. It looks wonderful, and you have such a personal and awesum style. I bet you will have many nice nights up there with your friends or alone. AWESUM!
Very awesome for a group of teens w/o prior construction experience. You will have a great career in the construction industry.
Wow! Great job guys! glad to see you stuck with it. Everyone has to start somewhere. Thanks for the video!
Fantastic Job boys for your first cabin wow very nicely done.... don't forget the metal drip edge on the roof gable ends there yah don't want water leaking into your beautiful cabin. LOLOL Great job on chinking too and sealing very nice.
I wouldn't mind living fulltime in one of those, built in my dad's backyard. You guys are good!
That's awesome ! I just wanted to say you can use metal wood burning stove pipe to pipe can be from Home Depot or Lowes hardware Black metal weed pipe is good the only thing is you need to separate it when the pipe goes through the roof for the wall, Set a hot pipe doesn't heat up the wood wall. What you do is around that wood while you get a fatter pipe and wood pipe that goes in wood burning stove is skinnier and then you have a clearance of about 2 inches. Then cover the clearance between wal
Don't mind the ones who criticize your work and lack of knowledge on your first job. You and your friends have done a great job and will have a lot of good memories of building this one. Look at it this way, next time you try this you'll have good experience under your belt. I've always dreamed about building one of these for years but as the years roll by and now that I'm in the Fall of life I will no longer be able to fulfill that dream. So live it for all of us who won't have the chance anymore.
Oh yeah "we don't know anything" bullcrap dude, you guys went ape-shit on that thing!! It looks so good! Of all the people I've seen build log houses without any previous experience, you guys are at the top of the list. I love this one, it's got so much character. Good work, lads!
wow...what an awesome job u did...i give u credit for never doing something like that even the inside and cabinets look great..i love what u do for age...keep doing what i wish i could of did 20 years ago...lol......u r a cool little dude....god bless and i cant wait for more things from outdoors and the cabin life.......AAAAAAAA+++++++
Well done... no electricity limits tool power and run time. No framing experience makes for more trouble shooting. I'm a bridge carpenter so here's my 2 cents... the beams are laid flat, laid on edge will support more weight and it's integrity much longer. The wood for door and window that opens will expand when wet. Easy fix. Other than that hands down GREAT JOB dude's. That cabin will be around for a long time to come.
I have to be blunt. For no experience building a log cabin. and the teamwork .You guys did an amazing job.
