    Hello my dear friends🙂
    In this episode I started lifting heavy logs using a system I saw on Erik Grankvist's channel. Erik is a great inspiration for me.
    I've made two more rows of logs since the last episode so a total of 8 rows of logs are done and I still have another 4-5 rows of logs to go. In the small house, I moved the bed down because it was too warm upstairs. In the next episode I will be building the front porch on the small dock and continuing on the walls of the main cabin.
    Thank you all for the positive comments. I appreciate it very much. I would also appreciate a lot if you can support my channel by subscribing!

      Hi Matthias, It's good to see that you have moved from inspiration to action! Inspiration is a God send and you must grab it whenever it appears. Looks great and I was shocked the system for lifting those huge logs. Did you have the logs delivered? Keep going.

    This is the finest and most precise log cabin build I’ve seen on video since Dick Proenekke filmed himself building his. Your cabin will stand for decades, maybe even a century or more.

    Matthias you are a hard worker, and not afraid to give credit where it due for Erik's channel inspiring you!! I think my grandfather did this when he was your age!! I am 67 and living in Phoenix, Arizona, I remodeled every room in my house with help, you seem to be doing fine on your own, but please take care of the back, otherwise when you get my age you will cursing at yourself for not!! Now when you get done you will have the satisfaction of having built your cabin with little or no help other than your Dad hauling materials for you!!! I did not build my home, but treating it with tender loving care. Please make sure you tell your Dad you Love him along with any other family members that is priceless!!! God bless you!

    I'm a 65 y.o. retired Carpenter. I didn't have many guys that worked as hard as this kid. He's got very good skills and knows how to NOT get hurt. I finished off my career in Alaska where we worked 10-12 hrs. a day 7 days a week. Big bucks if you could handle it. I did it for 6 years straight until my back wouldn't let me do it anymore. This guy will be a boss in a few years if he sticks with this work. Way to go kid!!

    Hello from NZ. Your log-fitting is superb; and all your work is amazing! I have built two houses myself, and know what a challenge it is. There is a lot more to it than putting logs together. There are tools to keep sharpened (and you seem to do an excellent job of that); and the log trimming takes much more than the two or so minutes that we see. You have to feed yourself to keep up your strength, which you also seem to do quite well; and then you have to contend with the inclement weather. You have Someone watching over you. You are blessed.

    Watching a craftsmen work is quite in mesmerising! Tell me does the moss chinking shrink back as it dries out? You don’t seem to mind working outside in all weathers, you certainly had plenty of wet weather to contend with in this episode. It’s quite amazing just how inventive you are when it comes to moving the logs from their original pile, as the saying goes “ necessity is the mother of invention “ certainly the case here! Hopefully the weather will be kinder to you in the next video. Less rain and not too warm as it’s such physical work.❤

  • @militialpickle9304
    @militialpickle9304 8 месяцев назад +1

    Along with the porch, in the next video you might also want start working on the doorway, as it should definitely make getting in and out easier along with all the materials and tools you lug in and out of there. Great job on the cabin so far, and I'm definitely looking forward to more videos, as well as what you might accomplish when this project is "finished."
    (I am more than aware that change is a part of human nature, so "finished" and "done" I believe are separate in projects like these.)

You are doing a awesome job young man. I have watched all of Eriks videos he is also a very talented young man

    • @matt.jacobs1
      @matt.jacobs1  8 месяцев назад +8

      The hewing itself only takes half a day so I am able to hew two logs in one day. This is also the way I work - I'm working on two logs at the same time. But it is necessary to take into account that there is still a lot of other work before this: choosing the right log, the second peeling, scribing, measuring, setting up, constant calibration of the scriber. Later, I treat the logs, drill holes, add moss...
      And I also film all of that, which also takes a lot of time.
      In the end, it turns out that I manage to make roughly 2 logs in six days, so 2 whole rows in about 3 weeks.
      Even if it takes longer, I still enjoy it a lot and I'm happy to share it with you :)
