Don't know how old you are i am 70 love to see older guys doing stuff , been thinking about trying my hand at a log home thanks for the motivation. God Bless America
Howdy Michael- I keep my age a secret lol. If you’re in pretty good shape I would encourage you to go for it. For inspiration from us “older “ guys you might want to watch Live Free or Die Trying UA-cam channel. Michael lives in Sweden and is building his cabin from watching our videos. I sure wish you the very best with your build and if there’s anything I can do to help just let me know. Take care and God’s blessings to you
@@michaeldow2955 The log cabin I’m finishing up has the four sided logs. It makes it a bit easier in some respects. It’s easier to do the splices and the notches are the same all the way up. I just like the look of the live edge logs. That’s the way the old timers built and I try to stay with tradition. Blessings
@@TheBeardedCarpenter приветствую тебя 🖐 , мне случайно попалось твоё видео. Я подписался на тебя. Я молодой плотник из России. Спасибо тебе за то что делишься своим опытом!!! Это очень важно , особенно в нынешнее время. Да поможет тебе Господь!!! Мир тебе и твоей семье!!!
@@Putnik1988Howdy- thank you so much for watching the video and for subscribing to our channel. I appreciate you becoming a carpenter. Most younger people don’t want to work that hard. May the Lord keep His hand of protection on you and your family and bless you
Hi Paul, I see that your project is continuing well. You seem fit and as always precise in detail. Have a good and holy Sunday. God bless you and the people that you love.
Howdy FD- thank you so much for your support and for the nice comments. Hope all is well with you. I wish you a very blessed weekend and a holy Sunday also. May the Lord Bless and keep you
Sometimes that stuff comes to tell us take a break ! Paul the two of you had a good day :) Way too much math for me 📜, It's amazing how precise you are on every cut 👍👍
Howdy Don- I sure appreciate you watching the video and for your kind words. Yeah, on that particular round there was a lot to keep up with, but, it’s on the wall and worked out good. Hope all is well up there in the north country. Take care and be easy with your back. God bless
@@TheBeardedCarpenter working aaay from homes not the best situation for sure. Im sure the water was great! Growing up i always drank out of creeks and springs.
You've done a wonderful job with the position of camera, sitting on my rocking chair enjoying the view of your window as you place logs. Thanks for another great video👍
Howdy Armida- thank you so much for watching the video and for your kind words. Sometimes I have to put the camera where I don’t take a chance of knocking it over. The Lady BC would be a lot unhappy with me lol. Hope all is well. God bless
Howdy Paul. Great big logs, and I'm, as always, amazed by your precision in your work. I felt the tension rising when you put that last log, with the splice, in place , and of course it fitted perfectly. At the same time, when it was in, that feeling of relief and joy, when it all comes together, was that feeling I had when i put my ridge beam in place - wohoo - it's such a great feeling. 🍀 All the best to you and your crew, my friend. Michael.
Howdy Michael- thank you so much for watching the video and for your kindness. Yes, you know exactly how it feels to have a great accomplishment. I felt your excitement when I watched the video when you got it up. Take care and stay safe my friend. God bless
hiya B,,C,, man oh man big log with the notches in it Weight Distribution + Stress Factor = Safety First ,,i like how you think,,,, the cabin sure is looking good,, now i bet that water makes a fine cup of coffee,,, take care my friend,,God Bless,,
Howdy James- yeah, I try to set up a lift where I can have some control with a tag line. Oh my, yes that spring water is the best. Makes a great cup of coffee for sure. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all
Howdy Richard- I sure appreciate you watching the video and for your nice comment. I would love to do some workshops in the future so people could get hands on experience. Actually, I have been approached by different people about writing a book but I barely can write my name lol. I haven’t ruled it out, however. Thank you so much for the suggestion. Take care and God bless
@@TheBeardedCarpenter there a lot places you can go to help with the book wish you would give it a try just start like you were going to build a house or barn and go from there you can do it
@@richardbryant5773 I think you are pretty convincing lol. I have a family member who has a degree in journalism so that might be a way to get started. Thank you so much. Blessings
Tava te assistindo e pensando ,tanto cuidado capricho em deixar cada peça perfeita,teu trabalho é incrivel.fiquei pensando em Noé, construindo a Arca,fazendo tudo conforme DEUS determinou, você iria amar trabalhar com Noé 😊voces sao Homens extraordinários😊 um abração Paul Deus te conceda muitoooooo anos de vida. PAZ
Howdy Mira- thank you so much, you are so kind. I’ve thought many times about how Noah managed to build a boat so large and how he worked the massive timbers. Will find out someday. Hope all is well with you and your family. God’s blessings to y’all
I can't imagine the level of excitement the home owner must be going through having such an amazing build! 👏🏻 Top notch work guys👌 The natural springs are always icy cold and that just seem to make it all the better doesn't it! Take care Paul✌
Howdy Marc- I do my best to do what I need to for whoever I build for. Thank you so much for the kind words. That spring water makes the best coffee and tea. Take my friend. God bless
Good video and really good job I wished I could do work that nice. Teleloader are a God sent I am going to try and get a old one. Take care, be safe and well.
Howdy John- thank you so much for watching the video and for the kind words. Yes, that machine has been a blessing. Hope you are able to get one. God bless
sure love watching yall build the cabin, the detail is just great, the wife and i have been talking about maybe trying to build one on the backside of our place. hope yall are doing good
Howdy brother- great to hear from you. I have all the confidence that you can certainly build it. Hope everything is going well with y’all. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all
Paul, that is going to be a beautiful structure when finished, I can't wait to see it. That tele handler must have some touchy hydraulics or the operator has a heavy touch, be careful.
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for your kind words. Yeah, that buggy went south on us and the rental place brought a different one. It doesn’t have as long a reach but it’s a bit smoother. God bless
I love your log joining. I have always seen what I call a lap joint with a vertical 1" peg. They all sag, I like your log to log joint, excellent strong joint. I am making slow progress but got a neighbor who has an awesome quad runner has volunteered to get the logs to the landing. I'm using an old lawn mower deck and set the tail of the log strapped in where the motor was removed to help move the cant easier through the woods and keeps the cant out of the dirt. I am anxiously waiting to see the second floor beams go in. Awesome job the three of you are doing Paul, excellent job and teaching! God Bless you fellows!
Howdy Tom- glad you had some help with the big logs. I feel the mortice and tenon joint is better than a half lap and it looks nice. Hope all is well with y’all. God bless
Hey Paul, I agree and was looking at my Foxfire book and came on a photo of a half lap joint sagging and the mortice and tenon joint has two pegs at each joint, Got to be way stronger. Praying for you all., God Bless@@TheBeardedCarpenter
Was just wondering why you don’t use a wooden mallet, to bang the logs in place? Cabin is really coming along. Very labour intensive. It’s a work of art. Looks fantastic. 🙋🏻🇨🇦
Howdy Phyllis- I have used a wood mallet before but it’s just easier for me to use a sledgehammer. I always use a wooden mallet when I’m using my timber framing chisels that have wooden handles. More of the striking blow actually reaches the cutting edge when using a wooden mallet on a wood handle and protects the handle from mushrooming. Thank you for your kind words. God’s blessings to you
Howdy brother- thank you so much for your kindness. I really enjoy having the machine to lift logs on the wall. I built a man basket to use and it saves me a lot of climbing. Hope all is well. God’s blessings to y’all
Have you used logs with a live edge on top and bottom surface? I plan on cutting my Tulip Poplar logs six inches thick and hewing the outside face to give a natural look. Using 16 to 20 in logs.
Howdy James- yes, that is my preferred way of log building. You can go back and watch the Paradise Point videos and the earlier Dovetail Log Cabin videos and I explain how to do that with the figuring out of the notch dimensions and how to cut them. The logs for this cabin were already on the job site when we got there. Since there was so much log work to do we used a log peeling disc on a grinder to hew the outside surface. I have always used a broad axe for doing that on every cabin except for this one. We would have been spending days hewing with a broad axe. Thank you so much for your nice comment. I sure wish you the very best with your cabin build. I wish we had poplar trees here. God bless
Thank you I'm just starting my cabin in scotland on the whiskey trail .I'm gonna use 4 x12 24 ft .I'm not sure about the end angles ..is there a vid on them mike Scotland
Howdy y’all- I sure wish you the very best with your cabin build. I do have videos on layout and cutting the notches. Go to our videos on the Dovetail Log Cabin build and they should be in sequence for you so you can follow the steps. If I can help you with anything just send me an email at thebeardedcarpenter8@gmail.com and I’ll try to answer your questions. God’s blessings to you
Howdy Willy- every log is drilled for electrical. I have shown that in past videos how I do that and keep the holes straight. I’m using timber lock screws on this cabin since the walls are so long. God bless
@@TheBeardedCarpenter thanks. Do you have a video that shows exactly how to layout the dovetails? I have 6x6 Hemlock that I wanted to build an outhouse as a first project. Thanks Love your videos!
@@willywilliams7077 Yes, I do. If you go back to the Dovetail Cabin build videos there are videos that explains all the details and tips on layout and cutting and cleaning up the notches. I have videos on fitting them once the log is on the wall. Hope you enjoy watching them. Blessings

Howdy y’all- yes, they are fairly big. That particular log had a lot going on with it. Glad it worked out well and fit good. God bless you
