  • 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

    Watching wood working is akin to staring at a fire. Can't get enough. Thank you for your work.

    Hard skilled work with old fashioned tools, no power tools. Respect.

    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! 🙌👏

    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.

    This is the kind of cabin l want to attempt to build. When l was a child my Grandparents lived across the street from a antique log cabin. The really cool thing about it was it had a secret entrance to the stairs that lead to the second floor. Which had an old spinning wheel and a bed. Down stairs it was like the people had left for the day. There was an antique parlor organ and a Victorla record player. We kids had a blast in there. I just want to go back in time and live in such a place.

      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.
