    Howdy y’all- just found your channel and must say I’ve enjoyed the videos I’ve been able to watch. I admire anyone who is doing what you’re doing. Very few people ever bring themselves to pursuing their dream of building their own log cabin using the old techniques and tools. I saw in some of the comments that you are in Canada. It would be so nice if we were closer together because I would love to work on a project with you. I appreciate you sharing history and the old ways of doing things. Thank you for doing what you’re doing because if someone doesn’t keep the knowledge active it will soon disappear. Being a log builder myself I understand the hard work you’re doing and appreciate it. May all go well with everything you do. God bless

    Been spending this Sat catching up on your catalog of videos. Super interesting.
    I'd like to point out how important I think it is, that you have clearly explained that the amount of tools you are using would have been out of reach for the average pioneer. It is good to get a real sense of how much effort and "do with what you have" went into living this life style.

      You will have to wait for spring on that one Josh. I will have the cabin up, cedar shakes on the roof and door and windows in and by then warm enough for fireplace work. I plan on building a Rumford fireplace.

    Interesting indeed, Since watching your episodes for near a year now I’ve really learned a lot I never knew and been studying Log Cabin builds and techniques. Butt and Pass seems like a quick way that pioneers could have raised a shelter quickly. Do you know if it was used in the 18th Century?

    Hello loving your style of doing things I do have a wierd question.how do you tye you each so you don’t have a big knot in the back?i tye mine n back to ,no fun sitting down in a real chair,thanks keep on making more

    • @TheWoodlandEscape
      @TheWoodlandEscape  3 года назад

      I’ll try to explain Paul but, it would be much easier to demonstrate... fold the length you desire for the first drop portion of the sash on a 45 degree angle then wrap the second wrap around your waist bringing the second drop underneath the 45 degree fold you initially made and pull tight. This method has never failed me, stays tight all day long without an actual knot. I hope that helps.

    I think that the cabin should be a tad bit longer. After the fire place, where to prepare the food, wash cookware, small table, where will you both sleep?

    I guess I missed a couple of things. Were levels used way back when and how did one make sure all trees were the same diameter?

    • @TheWoodlandEscape
      @TheWoodlandEscape  3 года назад +1

      Hi John, we used cedar and sadly they have a lot of taper to them. To keep some semblance to level I alternated crown end for butt ends at each corner. Not level but, close. Pine or spruce have virtually no taper but, are not as rot resistant as cedar.

    How do you plan on closing the gaps between these Logs?

    • @TheWoodlandEscape
      @TheWoodlandEscape  3 года назад

      Cobb was used in the 1700 ... a mixture of half clay, half sand mixed with dry grass or straw. We might actually use mortar.

    Why don’t you chop out the length of the log and lay a layer of moss so the logs have a tight fit and don’t leave space between logs?

Нет,и всё-таки странно,на дворе XVIII век,а среднестатистический переселенец Севера Американсаих Колоний Британии,ну не умом не сердцем не в курсе того,что на свете есть элементарный циркуль?
    Пётр,вы конечно безусловно молодец,что в свою очередь взялись за сам данный поект,но не ужели не у кого было проконсультироваться на предмет того,каковы основы рубки деревяных срубов? Технология то по сути вот уже порядка тысячи лет в свдности не изменна,за исключением того,что сам процесс таковой в свою очередь несколько автаматезирован.
