- My dad and I have been on a journey to build our own log cabin. This series of videos is a 'behind-the-scenes' look of our bigger "Log Cabin on a Budget" series.
In this episode: I discover a major problem with my tractor, I install some temporary flooring in the log cabin, and I do a little wheelbarrow logging. - Навчання та стиль
Brad here Far North Queensland Australia. I have joined the cabin journey. That is, watching you build. Very inspirational. Thanks, Cheers Brad.
You have like a mild punk rock look going on and yet you're an avid outdoorsman. I love it!
Bravo young man. You give me hope for your generation. I am pleasantly surprised and impressed by your ingenuity and work ethic.
A-frame is brilliant! Inspiring, well done.
In the old days when horses pulled the logs, they used to have a metal shoe that was nailed to the end of the tree that was being pulled along the forest floor.
The "shoe" had an angled plate, so that the end of the tree was lifted up, and skidded over the dirt and fallen timber.
Loved the tree puller. Never seen mechanical advantage used in this way before. Always good to learn something new. Thanks for sharing.
That’s definitely ingenuity, resourcefulness & dedication in getting a job done! Good Luck to you!
The cabin looks awesome..No matter what obstacles you are faced with, you dont seem to ever give up. God bless, and best wishes going forward
you are very blessed to have a father like that
It is amazing what can be accomplished with patience and hard work. Jim Bishop has built an entire Stone Castle 100 or more feet high single handed . You are accomplishing a work of art also.
Outstanding. Your willingness to use muscle power is admirable. Can't wait for the next video. Thanks.
You have some incredible innovations for moving some of your logs. I really appreciate your knowledge and work ethic building your log cabin.
Dude that tree puller is simply amazing
love the tree puller, brilliant. And seeing the bark pulled off in such long strips made me want to split it into 3 in widths and weave them together into a mat to see what it would look like if left to dry flat.
I gotta say: I love your bipod log-lifter, puller - frame. Very clever.
I think it's called an A-frame ?
yeah! I'm inspired to try it out.
I love the floorboards; each of which wouldn't be out of place holding an entire roof up. The joy of having a serious over-abundance of lumber, and your own machine for milling it.
I'm very impressed with your ingenuity. Very interesting.
I can't say how much I appreciate the way you & your pop work together !!!
I see your Dad has instilled good work ethics in you two. I only hope my two boys will work as hard as you !
Keep up the great work. Love your channel.
Greetings from Michigan. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy the no nonsense style in which you shoot and edit your videos. Unlike the over produced, and manufactured drama of the DIY shows on television. Be safe and keep up the good work.
That frame you made is a fantastic setup, its a credit to your design. ☆☆☆
So pleased to see another of your videos this morning. I marvel at all the learning you’ve achieved. You’re a master problem solver. Like others, I encourage you on and remind you to be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks.
I am enjoying watching your ingenuity for solving problems. Having a great imagination is a wonderful thing.
That's ingenious. Probably back before horses and tractors this was the only way to harvest trees. Wow, that's hard work.
Love the manual tree puller you made. Brilliant. keep up the good work.
I can't thank you enough for this series of videos! You're doing something that most people can only dream of, including me. Thanks for taking the time to set your camera up and to do the editing and commentary.
Well played sir, well played.
Dad, you're one hard working fella
you call that hard working
Very cool dude. Didn't let none of that stop you at all. Yeah, looks like that electric winch isn't worth it's weight, since you gotta use the A frame anyway, and it's simpler and more dependable to just use it alone. I'm going to buy some land and build an off grid cabin to live in. Right now I'm squatting along a beautiful mountain river for free in my motorhome with my dog. I'm already an expert at rope and levers and rigging. Many years as a sailor. I dig what your doing, and learn from your videos. Great job dude.
That frame is just plain cool!
Another brilliant video, love your cabin...you can see Dads always watching over his son...Bless him...
You guys are definitely some hard workers. And I'm very impressed with your ingenuity.
A helpful tidbit. If you continue to use a battery for your winch you will find that a marine battery is better suited for such an application. The cell walls are thicker and are designed for constant charging and discharging. I would recommend an AGM marine battery. The battery you have is a small car and truck battery, it probably has a dead cell. Has a surface charge but can't hold a load. That's why you only got two trees out of it. Good luck with your project.
I bet a good draft horse would have saved you loads of troubles there amigo! You make videos. Thank you!
Great to see you walking on a floor!
Genius design and implementation on your tree puller. I am impressed with both your work ethic as well as your ingenuity. Great video.
Love, Love it!!! I can't tell you how much I enjoy and look forward to your videos. Truly authentic. Thank you so much for
sharing. God Bless and keep.
you had me at tree puller! you're awesome.
Really admire your ingenuity and not letting a setback ruin the day,good luck with the tractor repair :)
Thunder sounds lovely here in the desert!
Ran into some of these same problems in my own small scale logging. Deep cycle battery will get you a bit further with electric winches but they never really seem to do that well for this application until you get into larger capacity winches. They are always outdone by hydraulic winches of even smaller size. I found an old hydro winch and made a gear drive to run off pto for my tractor. Major improvement. Great job in the bush. Keep it up. Pleasure to watch the journey
Me too, really impressed. That is the best log cabin I have ever seen. It is a good size and well made. Keep posting. 👍
Your home made tree puller is a magnificent and clever idea, thank you for sharing.
Awesome flooring ,going to look great.
Strong man.im proud.Makes me proud.Cant take nothing from you..Thanks.
I am just loving your series. Great work and thank you for sharing. Can’t wait to see the finished cabin.👍
Nice to see that spirit is stronger than many machines......I like to see the father and his sons working together. Go on.
Thank you for sharing this episode. That A frame is brilliant!! Forget about that winch. :)
Watching you use the winch was pretty scary. If anything had snapped, you may well have lost limbs or your life. You A frame seemed to work much easier and very, very safely. Always love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
great job,love to see father and son working
What a beautiful timber
Another great video, and I love the family unity. You guys are awesome.
remember how hard bark clearing was? you've become a pro!
12:25 Using the A frame to move the tree was a stroke of genius!
Excellent job and your very lucky to have your family there with you excellent job guy's love your channel
Tractors do that but are worth the frustration for the force multiplier they are. I agree that your A-frame log winch looks faster than the electric winch. You're doing a great job.
"Oh, well, I'm sure that if you applied it right, that pulley system there might almost be... And he's already thought of that." Good video as always!
Those 2 1/4” floor board are going to be rock solid!
De-barking is so satisfying to watch
How incredibly interesting awesome kudos to you both!
Not trying to be safety sally here, I’m inspired and doing the same kinda work on my place. So please take advice with salt. You may want to lay a chain or heavy strap across static line when winching, if it breaks it’s a lifesaver in that it will keep cable from coming back to cut or harm. Again wish I’d have started project at your age. I’m your dads age and whew I’m not what I used to be. Good luck and hope tractor is fixed soon.
Kelly Williams Thank you for your concern and helpful input. All the best to you on your cabin project!
Was thinking the same thing, the most dangerous place to be while winching is at the end of the cable looking down the length.
Dang it you just got the tractor!
So nice when the bark peels off like that, I love trying to get the strips off in one piece on the whole tree
Thank You for the videos, I ate them all up, Ya'll are doing many a service, God Bliss you and you worker. i will Pry for you every day fir you to have the strength and wisdom to finish your task, Amen.Peace, Love, Lazaro
In Germany for a hung up tree they have come up with something that translates into the bridge cut, when a tree gets hung up you can bore cut the center of the hinge however you need to leave a strap on each side. Next you pull out the saw and cut the straps from the outside cutting down at an 45 degree angle to release the hinge, once the hinge is severed it is quite easy to roll the tree out of the bind using a peavey.
Each video is a treat. Thanks.
Thank you. I really like that pulling frame I will definitely be building one of my own. I've employed a lot of different methods to move heavy objects over the years and that set up will compliment my tool box. Work smart not hard. Have a nice day.
Genius idea on the log puller!
Man, this may sound weird but I am willing to bet that people in the past have used something like your A-frame tree puller a long time ago. This simple device may solve some of the mysteries of the past, like how the Egyptians, the Brits at Stonehenge,and the natives on Easter island moved heavy stones long distances. I may be wrong, but it’s a good bet. Keep up the good work. 👍🇺🇸
what a master of power! the tree lift you made was unremarkable! I will have to make one. I can see how this would b helpful to lift things as i am all alone too. Loved the video, and yes, your tractor is going too b expensive fix, probably why it was a good buy..lol. but i am sure you know that.. hang in there it will all work out. follow your heart and dreams.... Tom n Rocky
Purty slick stuff! That’s using y’all’s noggin’s! I’m diggin’ the cabin! 👍👍✌🏻
What an amazing and interesting method!!
Pulling bark from a tree is one of the most satisfying things ever.
That flooring will look awesome once completed!
Looking very nice!!! We could have used your manual log mover today!!! That is a great build and we will be making one very soon!! Thanks for sharing!! Be careful for the old guy but keep him moving and young! :) I enjoyed every day of work with my father!!
Looking good starting to come together
Sometimes life means going to Plan B. It is great how you shift as the situation call for it. Great video.
I know it just temporary, but those planks look good inside the cabin. Kind of gives you an idea of what to look forward too.👍
I can't wait for the next episode !
Hi friend, I am surpirsed that nobody told you before that the winch you cut in tree with your saw must be at least to half of tree, to give him speed to fall down through other trees. Don't be lazy, this cut is not for design, it is important to do it deeper.
Really like the log mover!
You’re a hard working man. Good luck with the tractor repair.
Great video again, my friend.
Oh bummer on the tractor!! I wish I had some extra money laying around I could send you to help with the repair bill for the tractor. However they don't pay disabled veterans much for retirement. Boy your camera sure takes a beating. Thanks again for sharing. That's going to be one stout cabin.
Wow I like your videos. Seeing many things how you working. It's not easy to work like this.
Love the progress!
very impressive work
Very impressive work
Very hard working people glad to see that
Great work! Sorry about the Massey. Regarding the winch, I cringe every time it's used because the cable could snap and hurt someone. Lay a chain or a heavy cloth over top of it to reduce the chances of it flaring up if it breaks.
Looking great....
Sorry to hear about the tractor.
Glad to see you wearing chaps and hearing protection. How about a hardhat?? Never know about widow makers. Is Dad wearing chaps when delimbing??
I was always told not to go with just the cable when winching. Also use a chain. If the cable snaps, it will whip back at you. A chain will cause it to go slack. Also important to keep the butt off the ground when skidding or winching. Too much resistance.
Thanks for the video.
Jack
This is such a wonderful video
Enjoy watching your video
Love the videos keep them coming
The tractor sounds like it would a expensive job, ( but hope not), I like all your videos !
It's good to see you and your dad back out working doing what you love and enjoy.. sometime back last year you talked about becoming a parent? Hope everything is well..
Cabin flooring stripping that bark looked easy with that spade scraper
Thanks great work and video
Love how ya dad appears out of nowhere like magic 😂
