This brings back memories of my active time as a carpenter. The most beautiful profession in the world. Best regards from Germany. Nice that there is a Northmen video again
I have a pair of Northmen timber framing chisels - I had to wait almost 7 months to get them. They are magnificent. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting the absolute best available timber framing chisels.

Interesting technology. House build by hands have something special. Raised family and getting old in this home would be amazing. Good job and good luck.
I so wish we were able to build homes like that here in Central Qld. As a Carpenter using the skills passed down from generations only to build out of steel and brick due to climate and material requirements can create lament. But as my Mentor before me once said “Adapt or die” Absolutely beautiful workmanship 🍻👍🏼
I am interested in your statement, as I am a 3rd year carpentry apprentice on east coast QLD and feel quite disillusioned with carpentry for the same reasons you mentioned. There is no craftsmanship, the materials are harsh and industrial; house designs clinical and uninspired. I think Australia is especially bad for this, being so 'young' and without a rich culture or traditions such as in other countries. But with the push for globalism and the extinction of vernacular architecture we are soon to lose any shred of local identity and instead live in identical homes...
This structure will outlast any modern construction of this day. A modern home's lifespan is estimated at one hundred years. There are timber frames, (also known as post and beam), structures that are known to be over two hundred and fifty years old, and still fit to be occupied. I have worked in this modern age as a carpenter, cabinet maker, Finish carpenter, framer, and sheetrock hanger and finisher. I have always wanted to take part in this kind of construction. I'm old now and my body is broken down. So, I guess I never will. I enjoyed seeing this. Thanks.
I don't think I can name any other profession more manly than this. Building a home! I desire to build a home but I am all alone in this. I wish I had people to help me out
Reminds me of watching the traditional Japanese building framework with those large mallets. Love how everything more or less seems to just fit together.
What a nice event for my soul to watch your work again !!!🍀And I really love videos about your grandpa life. 🌿We have the small log cabine in the Eastern Bohemia.It is the treasure for us. 🍁 Many many thanks from the Czech Republic 🌲🍁 🌳🍂💚
@@amariahg5450 I guessed as much, I've used square nails before (which have much better pull out strength than round nails), yet I was still very surprised to see the done thing done with wood. I think I was brainwashed by a toy in kindergarten. I should donate one of those giant mallets in order to educate future generations properly.
The pegs are tapered, the square part is just the ends that get hammered, they get sawn off. No need to make it round it’s just less work making them this way. Also BFH
Sections of my barn were built in post and beam, long before the days of cranes too! As long as you keep the water out and a good foundation under it, it will last forever. A lovely way of building if you can access the timber.
During the timber framing revival in North America in the 80s, this is how we used to build. Nowadays, our TF building procedures have become mechanized, soulless, and removed from nature. That is why it feels good to watch these guys doing things the old way.
0:10 these black square plates (it moves you can hear it), what are these? are these flat rocks of some sort for the logs to rest on to prevent contact with the mortar like material (lime/rye flour?) to prevent the wood from absorbing moisture? What about the breeze coming in through this crack? The trad finnish houses show the bottom log going on top of sheeps wool
Those are some heavy beams. The house sure won't be going anywhere. Just a silly question, how are the bottom beams fastened to the foundation? Are they just sitting there or are, will there be some sort of fasteners? Awesome to see and watch your content. Cheers :)
Personally speaking, my barn has 8x8 sill plates sitting on an 8” , 8 foot high foundation. Been there for a year and hasn’t budged although it’s very exposed to winds and not fastened down. If a person wanted to, they could use Simpson strong ties and tapcons
Am I the only one getting triggered over the bare feet? Rocky ground, heavy beams and they are traipsing around like they are at the pool. Cool video. Glad I watched.
It's a good feeling knowing that the old skills are still practiced.

Such beautiful masonry for the foundation. Amazing work on everything.
So excited to see more Northmen content :)
Northmen, thank you. It has been far too long. But skol to keeping the old methods alive!!
Craftsmanship over a thousands years old! Bravo from a Nordmand descent!
…fabulous, simply fabulous! Thank you for sharing.
Built using ancient skills and joints. The skill used to build it is amazing. This house will outlast their Grandchildren.

One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
That’s how you build a house!!!!
Reminds me of watching the traditional Japanese building framework with those large mallets. Love how everything more or less seems to just fit together.
Love your videos! I hope they keep coming, I will still go back and watch old ones occasionally!! Awesome work!
That is STUNNING. Whoever made those dovetails and knee braces knows their eggs. Magnificent

Hello guys.
take it easy.we look forward to it.
We are waiting for the house to be finished and beautiful.
Jack Johnson at the end? The awesome never ends with these videos.
They put square pegs in round holes. My life has been a lie.
The squared/sharp edges bite into the surrounding wood more, giving it a stronger hold and joint.

Nice to walk around barefoot and not have to worry about nails on the ground at the job site.
More manliness in this video than in the entire state of California.
Absolutely phenomenal work gentleman.
Beautiful.
Highly satisfying video ... great job, Northmen!
You guys are the best!
Some amazing teamwork shown here!👍
That’s great love watching that kind of craftsman working.
It's my dream to build houses traditionally like this. I would love to come and do the timber framing course
Молодцы ребята!!!!!
Не то слово,в отличии от тех кто строит из газоблоков и прочего дерьма
Да. Качество домостроения у них на уровне .
Стоит каркас , и уже видно какая красота выйдет в окончании работ.
Дай Бог им здоровья и помощи !!
Excelent, amazing, beautiful work!
Wow. Amazing talent and skill!! Hope that you will show when it is completed?

Anticipating an update on the building of this home!!!!
The real Lincoln log builders. I can't wait to see the rest.
Stunning & majestic. Great job fellas.
Made a response comment to someone in comments you guy's do great work
Such beauty&precision. Thank you from Coquitlam,B.C.,Canada
Beautiful work guys!
Toto je prava tesarcina bravo chlapi zadne pretvarovanie a nejake imitacie budte vsetci zdravy pozdravujem zo slovenska🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰
Each of those beams is like a work of art.
I'm guessing the charring the sill beams is for rot protection?
thats one solid house and very well made
Glad to see you posting again. Keep it up!
Красавцы ! Деталировка и запил очень хорошо показаны. Антигнилостная обработка огнём радует !

Holy molie...been long enough...plz keep them coming...
It's so nice to see a new video. Carry on!
Я думал, что ты уже больше не выпустишь никакого ролика!!! Супер))
Pretty good for a bunch of hippies. You've learned well from the pioneers of the past.
Superbe construction, une belle équipe et un travail magnifique 👍
The guy in the grey shirt with the long hair and the beard did a really good job. He’s so fast he’s in multiple places at once
lol
Cloned hipsters :P
Guys, u are motivation for me, and u are my idols for what u doing, respect 👏👏👏
Every time I see a Swedish person with a honking big mallet I can't help thinking of Midsommer. Thanks Ari Aster.
beautiful work
No shoes, no problems 👍🏼 Awesome!

The bee and baby inspectors. Nice touch.
Beautiful
cant wait to get a place in one of your courses!!
Love it, excellent job guys.
Beautiful work. I’ll make it to your school someday.
Thank’s a lot from Quebec (Canada) 26 th january 2022!
I to jest to. Spokój i praca jak za dawnych lat. Brawo
Beautiful framing!
Wow.., what a teamwork
I love you guys. This is all.
Sweet, this video has ALL of the man-buns.
Gorgeous looking thing
Great video Awesome work
Thank you.
Even the bees approve. I love watching these guys.
Oh yes, novely detail - the bee 🌿💚
de l'art comme on voudrait en voir plus un grand bravo a vous tous
Can’t wait to do my traditional carpentry course with you next year!
Oh, really good idea ! 🌲🍁🌳
I would build these just for the opportunity to use those cool hammers alone.
Pretty brave doing that without boots on!
I'm guessing he's able to maintain his balance on the beam better without shoes.
@@TheEnigmaticmuse I was thinking more along the lines of if I drop that beam on my foot or feet I am done for.
A happy person will live in this house
It's very cool.👍 Hello from Russia 🖐
Friends, what does burning the wood do for the structure?
I’m not certain of this but I think it’s for rot protection for the wood
The sheer muscle needed for that is impressive.
Full documentary of this please
How are the timbers tied to the foundation?
Amazing skills.
Those are some heavy beams. The house sure won't be going anywhere.

How is this house anchored to the foundations? Or is it not? Wouldn't a storm move it?
big house... but why burn logs only one one side?
Wow. Why the char on the underside of bearers?
So its a premade kit? I don't see any hewing on site, hardly a tape measure.
Ser riktigt vackert ut, men ta på er riktiga skor för ändamålet. Var försiktiga om er.
Awesome you can build one on my place anytime got plenty of timber
This is why i love my job
Beautiful!
Do I see the general being used here?
Pardon my ignorance, but why is the bottom side charred?
Wow, IKEA are really upping their game...
Am I the only one getting triggered over the bare feet?
Rocky ground, heavy beams and they are traipsing around like they are at the pool.
Cool video. Glad I watched.
Thats a solid house
Keep in mind some of these dudes are doing this barefoot. Awesome stuff!
