This makes so much sense. I was wondering why you were measuring them so carefully. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for watching the video and for the nice comment. I try to get all the logs picked out and figure out where I want to put them in the wall and having a chart just makes it easier for me. Take care and God bless you
Goodmorning Paul , you have been busy . Have a blessed day and stay warm .
The Apricate Tiny house Howdy Ma’am- I’m kinda like a dog chasing his tail sometimes lol. Got a good fire goin in the stove and I’m snuggled up to it. God bless you
You're what they call a professional. Great stuff as always Paul.

Enjoying watching this build - best to be organized for sure as I see you are makes the project turn out so much better
Pople BackyardFarm Howdy y’all- I have to be somewhat organized or I may end up in the next county lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. God bless ya’ll
I like your method of charting the logs.
Virginia Reid Howdy Ma’am- Thank you for watching and commenting. God bless you
How organized and so informative ! ⭐
Sky Z Howdy- if I don’t stay somewhat organized I might end up finding myself in a pickle lol. God bless
Looking great Paul! You know your teaching a cabin build but its so much more than that. I liked it when you said, "this is where you lean patience". Through you God has reminded me to work on my patience. Thank you Sir! Much love, Always. Let me know if you need some help moving those logs, could round up 3 people anyhow.
bethany walker Howdy Bethany- I hope you’re the Bethany that has the wild pear butter...... lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. Y’all come on over and see us. God bless y’all great big
I guess the bigger logs add stability to the base of the building. It's so organized, and even spare logs just in case.
I heard a story about my inlaws family that years ago they started a cabin but didn't finish it. And they were young and half a dozen of them working on it. I miss my departed husband and all his stories from the past.
karen4you Howdy Karen- it was easier to handle the bigger logs down lower and progressively the next smaller logs were used as the cabin went up. This was the case in our area. However, when I restored the Chism House there was a top plate that was 8x12 and 34’ long. That was quite a timber to get up on the second floor. I’m sorry about your loss. It’s not pleasant losing a loved one. God bless you
GREAT VIDEO AGAIN, CHEERS FROM IRON ROCK NOVA SCOTIA ONCE AGAIN, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

Great video series and that you for you expertise.
Tim Giles Howdy Tim- there will be a video coming up where I explain how I determine what the notch deminsion will be in each round of logs. Thanks for watching and God bless y’all
@@TheBeardedCarpenter That's a video that I can't wait to learn. Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey.
Tim Giles Hey Tim- I did some of that video today ( wading the mud) on the sill logs. It’s gonna probably be in 2or3 videos cause I ‘m trying to go into detail. When it gets posted I hope it helps you. Blessings to y’all

Carolina Chris Outdoors Howdy Chris- thanks for watching. You bout ready to start your cabin??? Y’all got some beautiful scenery out your way that would look great with a cabin. Just sayin lol. God bless y’all
The Bearded Carpenter - Always has been a dream of mine, but I have a cabin (not a log one) that my Dad and us boys built back in the late 70's.... dang thing costs us more in taxes each year than it cost to originally build it!!!
Carolina Chris Outdoors Just having a place to go and get away is a blessing these days. Even though we live in our log house I still go up to the off-grid cabin every chance I get. Blessings
Good stuff. Thanks.
J F Howdy JF- glad you stopped by and watched. Thank ya and God bless y’all

oklahomacrabber Howdy out there to ya. Thanks for watching and God bless y’all
Everytime I think I'm getting a very small handle on log cabin construction BAM!! I realize I know nothing 🙄 Every video is enlightening thanks.
Howdy Robert- hang in there and it’ll come to you. Thank you so much for watching the video. Take care and God bless you
Hello bearded one! I am embarking upon a journey to make my own cabin. And I have been searching RUclips channels and yours is absolutely the best I have seen on log cabin building bar none.I am embarking upon a journey to make my own cabin. I have Thoroughly enjoy your videos they're absolutely top-notch. I may have missed it but what is the meaning of butt and tip? Also what is the thickness of the log?
Tim Sweeney Howdy Tim- I am so happy you’re gonna build your own cabin! Our goal is to give you the information you need, that’s why I try to go into as much detail as I can without boring you too much. Hopefully, we’ll be able to do some work shops if we can figure out all the logistics of doing one. Butts and tips refers to the big end( butt) and the small end ( tip). Hope you enjoy and stay with us on the build. God bless y’all
@@TheBeardedCarpenter So I a ready to attend your work shop. Please let me know when they will be. I will bring home made bacon for the crew. Tim
Tim Sweeney Home made bacon sounds good! Blessings to you
Great video. You mentioned cutting up the log with the crown in it to use it on lower courses. Do you recommend putting up the cabin with door and window openings in place or cutting the openings out of whole logs?
I am actually in Crossville now. This is the week we try to expose the logs on our cabin to see what shape they are in. Thanks again for all you are doing!
James Aldridge Howdy Jim- good to hear from you. You can put up full length logs and cut out later if you want to, but I like to cut the actual lengths I need as I go. I feel that I can keep waste down to a minimum that way. It keeps me from having a bunch of short pieces left over. Hope all goes well for y’all in Crossville. Let me know how it goes for ya. Tell Caleb I said howdy. God bless y’all
@@TheBeardedCarpenter thanks! Life's been a bit hectic lately. I had to double up on my hospital schedule to make time for this trip. I will pass your message along to Caleb. He and I normally watch your videos while he is sitting in my lap, and he still calls you "grandpa" every time.
James Aldridge Wow, That is so cool. Lookin forward to meeting him. Blessings
,,,hello b,,C,,it seems a little confusing to me to be truthful,, that`s a lot of logs and knowing witch one go`s where and charting them is interesting,, are you kinda building this cabin in your mind and seeing how its going to go together before you start,, thanks for sharing,,
old school with a modern twist Howdy James- it may seem a bit confusing, and to be quite honest I was a little concerned how I explained it. But, as it progresses I hope to make it very clear. Hey, I found your address so I’ll get some measurements on that axe to you. God bless y’all
Hi Paul. I'm learning a lot here, but I have to ask about the measuring. Do you measure the flat side only, or do you include the rounded top and bottom as well. I've been doing like you - sawing the logs, racked them, numbered them and now it's time for the charting. Hope you can clarify this for me. Blessings from the Swedish woods - Michael.
Howdy Michael- I always measure the complete width of the log which includes the round part. Even though for the most part it isn’t seen after the chinking goes in it still will be part of the height of the logs. If you ever have any questions please feel free to email me thebeardedcarpenter8@gmail.com and I will be happy to help you. Hope you have a wonderful and productive week. God’s blessings to you
@@TheBeardedCarpenter Thank you for a quick response to my question Paul. I was 90% sure that you took the measure of the hole log, but just to be absolutely sure, I had to ask. If I start calculating the notches from a wrong measurement, it would go wrong. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the opportunity to mail you if I'm in need for some specific answers to a problem during my cabin build.
Best regards from the Swedish woods
Michael
Great information! I have oak, pine and poplar what wood is the best for a cabin?
Happy Critters Howdy- I have never had the opportunity to use poplar, but I knew it’s been used a lot for cabins. In our area we have pine and oak. Pine is easier to work with and is way more prevalent. If you have good, straight trees with slow taper you could use any of what you mentioned. God bless y’all
Pine Poplar then Oak. Oak shrinks alot but works well when seasoned about two years.
Howdy good sir I hope you’re doing well
23kc Howdy and thanks for coming by , we’re doing well. Thank you and God bless y’all
When do you think you‘ll start the build? Sometime in the spring?
Santa OB Howdy Santa- I plan on starting as soon as I get the piers finished. I have another project that I’m doing also( not a cabin, but some hewn faux beams) and it will require quite a bit of my time. It will be just me working on the cabin although I may have some help getting the sill logs on the piers which I hope to get done next week. God bless
The Bearded Carpenter so you like working in the cold or it’s not as cold where you are. We’ve been in the teens and twenty’s and have a good foot of snow on the ground with more coming Saturday night. I stopped working on our cabin outside about a month ago and now working on the inside.
Santa OB Our winters have been pretty mild here for a few years. We only got 1 snow last year and it was only about 3”- melted off real fast. Didn’t get any the year before. I can work in the cold as long as we aren’t getting precipitation ( sometimes my ol bones say otherwise lol). Blessings to ya
What is the difference between the Butt and Tip of the log?
Conn Willliams Howdy Conn- the butt is the big end that was next to the stump and the tip is the top of the tree. Thank you for watching our videos. God bless you
Did the sawmill charge you some fee for cutting that cable?
Howdy Tim- that turned out to be a 3/8”lag bolt. No, they didn’t charge me for it but it took out a bunch of teeth on the blade. These were logs they furnished. I didn’t harvest them. Take care and God bless
Do the logs have to dry out for a certain amount of time before building with them?
Kevin Cook Howdy Kevin- some people will let the logs season but I like to build with them fresh cut and allow for the settling that will take place. God bless you
I guess that if all the logs are milled to the same specs, this part of the process is not needed.
Gerald Roth Howdy- If all the logs were cut on four sides all the same you would have only 1 notch size , so you’re correct. But, traditionally the logs were only flattened on 2 sides and the butts and tips were alternated in the wall. I enjoy seeing the natural shapes of the logs in the wall. Thanks for your comment and God bless y’all
First!
Brian Bangs Howdy Brian- thanks for watching. Hope y’all are doing well up there. God bless
