I can only say this. There ain't NOTHING like the old school! Thank you sir, y'all better save these videos in a volt for tomorrow 😉 👍
Howdy y’all- thank you so much! All of our videos are saved. Thank you so much for watching. God bless
Sir, I thank you for your content. I am in the process of buying a 150 year old dovetail handhewn log home in need of restoration. Your videos and guidance have given me the confidence to take on this project.
Howdy y’all- I sure appreciate you watching the video and for your nice comment. I wish you the very best with your restoration. God bless you
Came looking for the Barnwood Builders and ended up finding the Bearded Carpenter, and I wasn't disappointed. Very informative.
Thank you, all the way from a small village in Kent, England.
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for watching the video. We have about 100 videos on log building the way I build. I’m aware of the Barnwood Builders and have seen a few of their episodes. They do things a lot different than I do. Everyone has their own way of building. Hope you enjoy watching our videos and if you ever have any questions just yell at me. Have a great week and God bless
loved watching you work sir, its always a pleasure watching and listening to a man who knows what he is demonstrating.
Howdy Patrick- thank you so much for watching our video and for the kind comment. God bless
Thank you for sharing. I will use that formula when I build mine.
Howdy Floyd- I sure appreciate you watching the video. Glad it could be of help to you. Wishing you the very best when you build your cabin. God bless you
As always thank you for sharing your knowledge! I love watching your videos!
Howdy- thank you so much for watching our videos. God bless you
Nice job, and roundhouse overalls too, my favorite, thanks for the videos!
Howdy Micheal- thank you very much. Roundhouse overalls are my favorite. I couldn’t get them for a while but found out I can buy them direct from the factory. God bless
The Bearded Carpenter is awesome!!! Wow!!! What a rare trade these days!! Great channel!!
Troubaduo Thank y’all so much and may God bless y’all!
Totally enjoy watching your work Paul. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Stay safe brother and of course your good Lady Donna
Howdy Paul- thank you so much for watching the video. Hope all is well. God’s blessings to you
Proper chinking is a work of art, and a beautiful thing together, thank you again. Jim
Howdy Jim- the chinking seems to bring everything together and give the cabin a more finished look and let’s each log stand out and display it’s own personality. Thank you so much for watching the video. God bless you
Amazing Beautiful Work, And brings back my wonderful childhood memories of going to Smokehouse & seeing All that glorious meat hanging all around & see the salt pile in the corner & all along the floor. God bless, Penney C. , Al
Howdy - Penney- thank you so much for watching the video and sharing your memories. I’m anxious for the weather to cool down so I can fire up the smoke house. God bless y’all
A work of art! Looks fantastic!👍💕
Birdnest58 Howdy- thank you so much for the kind words. God bless you
Learning up as much as I can on different styles of log building as I can. Watching this has convinced me to go with cut to fit logs saddle notched. I've built a couple stick frame homes but I retired to the Southern end of the Rockies. Have to truck the logs about 15 miles but Rome wasn't built in a day either. 900 sqft is plenty for me and the dogs and my ham radio. The back yard is a bit over 3 sq miles. I appreciate all your sharing here.
Dave Johnson Howdy Dave , glad ya stopped by and watching. I think the style you’ve chosen is beautiful and I wish you the very best in your build. In our area there weren’t many round Log buildings built. I think they look fantastic in your area! Hopefully you can video your progress and share it with us. Keep watching our videos and maybe there will be something that might help you with what you’re doing. I will be using some round logs in this build I’m doing. Hope to hear from you again. God bless you and your build
Very informative. Great tips. Hats off to you sir. Thanks. Blessings.
Wayne Beaver Thanks so much Wayne- God bless
Very helpful!
thank you for your support brother. your place gonna look good.
Why thank ya- waitin for it to cool down here so we can fire it up-God bless
ye had a sit down job at the end! Looks beautiful and appreciate ye sharing your techniques and tips. I love learning and Thank You...Lords blessings
Rough Cut Homestead Hi Mr. Duke- I don’t get them sit down jobs very often lol. Chinkin is the least favored part of a build but it’s what makes it all come together. Got ‘er done and just about finished with the project. Then wait for some cooler weather. Thanks for watching-God bless y’all
What a beautiful work of art friend,, You have been blessed with talent
rock of ages USA Hi ya Mr. Rock. Glad y’all came by. Can’t wait to put some smoke in it. God bless
You're a good old dude. Damn fine lookin craftsmanship. And now I miss my Grandad. God bless ya.
Howdy Glen- thank you for watching and the kind words. My Papa has been gone a long time but l still miss him. God bless you
Nice work!
Howdy - thank you so much for the kind words and for watching the video. God bless you
Enjoy your videos. Probably don't live to far from you as I live at Glenwood and use to work in the area around the ouachita river and mt.ida. I hand hewed my logs and built my home about fifteen years ago and man was it a project. Just started hewing some logs for a timber frame project I am going to build this summer,lord willing. God bless and keep,up the good work.
Kevin McLean Howdy Kevin- good to hear from ya. I may just have to take a little road trip and come see what you got goin on down there. God bless y’all
Love the music!!!
Howdy Max- the you so much for watching the video. God bless
Very very nice. I just found your channel and will watch all your vids with thankfulness. I hope to do my own smokehouse and even home someday soon, God willing. Thank you sir.
treylem3 Howdy- so glad you found us and l appreciate you watching the videos. I do wish you the very best with your building projects. If I can help in any way let me know. God bless you
Wow... that was cool. A lot of patience needed to do that job!!!! Looking forward to seeing a bunch of meat getting smoked it that Smokehouse.
Carolina Chris Outdoors Hello Chris- yeah, it’s some work but it brings it all together and gives it a look of competition. If it ever cools down here we gonna have some smoke in it. Thanks for watching- God bless
Praise God .. Your so smart ! And know so much .. please keep teaching me
Howdy Anne- well, me being smart might be debatable lol. Thank you so much for watching the video. Take care and God bless you
Great information. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Almost Homestead Howdy- Thank y’all for watching and commenting. Sounds like y’all have an interesting channel so I subscribed. I love watching homestead channels. God bless
@@TheBeardedCarpenter Hey Thank you!
That is so labor intensive!
Howdy Jimmy- yeah, it’s work but it really changes the looks of the cabin. Every log shows it’s own personality and gives the cabin a finished look. Take care and God bless
Thank you!
Eric Aker Howdy Eric- Thank ya for watching! God bless y’all
cool stuff
Howdy- thank you for watching the video. God bless
I’d also push that mix into the large cracks on the exterior of those logs so moisture cannot get down inside the logs. That could cause big problems during the months that temperatures are below freezing.
Howdy- that’s a good point. We don’t have much freezing temperatures here anymore. With the roof overhang the logs very seldom get any moisture on them. I’ve seen that done on old log cabin restorations. Thank you for watching and the comments. Take care and God bless
The Bearded Carpenter thank you for the videos you create for us the viewers. I’ve learned a lot just by watching and I’ve successfully built a smoke house with your underground burn setup. So thanks again for all the help!
@@theautodidacticman_ I’m glad you were able to get some helpful information. That’s very rewarding to me. Thank you for sharing this with me. Blessings to you
Thank you
Howdy Jay- you’re very welcome and I thank you for watching the video. God bless you
Awesome
Howdy Jim- I sure appreciate you watching the video. God bless you
As the world turns 🤷🏻♂️. New subscriber over from watching Denis Losier Outdoors. Found Denis from an NB88 shoutout. Looking forward to following you. Looked over your past videos and it looks like I’ll have a lot of entertaining videos to catch up on. From Hells Canyon. Great work!
Howdy- thank you so much for coming by and subscribing. I’m very excited for Denis and what he is doing. Hope you enjoy our channel. God bless you
Just beautiful ! Dad , his brothers and my grandfather built a cabin in the late 60s. They used chicken wire and a mixture that included course sawdust. I think it was chainsaw chips from on sight. Was wondering if that was a common practice. Cabin is still there. Maybe I’ll take a ride up there and report back on the chinking condition. Thanks. Super looking cabin
Howdy Terry- thank you so much. There were lots of different mixes for chinking used. I’ve heard of people using animal hair to help bond the mixture together. I took out some really old chinking that was red clay, sand, and a little bit of lime. It would be interesting to know how the chinking you folks used is holding up. Thank you so much for sharing this. Take care and God bless
You make it look a lot easier then when I did mine. Where were you a few months ago?!😆😁 looks awesome. I had some color issues with mine too that I had to correct.
The Workshop at Hidden Homestead Well, to be honest, chinking isn’t my favorite thing to do but that’s when each logs personality really comes out and the cabin begins to have a “ finished “ look. I finally just had to give up on using clay because of hairline cracks and the dye seems to work well. Several months later I still don’t have any cracks in the mortar. Blessings
Somehow I had missed this video. Really nice job!! It didn’t take me long on my cabin to learn chinking was no fun!! I’m still chinking on it. You made it look easy though! I like your recipe using Portland and type N. When I first started I used Portland and hydrated lime and later started using the mortar mix in with it and really liked working with it more
Fluty Lick Homestead Howdy- this was the first time I didn’t mix powdered red with it and so far l don’t have the the little hairline cracks. Chinkin is not my favorite job either. God bless y’all
Meant to say “red clay “.
I've used old latex paint in the cement in place of 20 pct of the water. Never have had it crack and makes it very durable. Doesn't seem to affect color much.
Howdy Wayne- I can see how that would work well. Thank you for sharing this. God bless you
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I wish I would've had this information 2 years ago when I spent and arm and half a leg for the new age synthetic chinking that comes in 5 gallon pails. Do you have a video that explains how you filled the live edge gaps before chinking? Curious on the wire mesh installation. I built my first pioneer cabin by myself over the pass 3 years and I would pay to learn from you. Thank you so much sir.
FEATHERED COYOTE Thanks for watching! Sorry I just now am getting back to you- l didn’t see your comment till now. We have a video where l put the wire mesh and insulation in before chinking. Please email me at The Bearded Carpenter 8@gmail. com. Would love to talk to you. God bless y’all
Now that I've seen the chinking work done, actually looks more tedious than I thought. I did learn another important thing, the undercut of the upper log. Now, what about the inside? Thanks, I'm learning a lot from you and Mr. Duke.
garretthacksaw64 Howdy- Thanks for watching. Chinking is like a lot of things, once you get the hang of it you’ll be makin good progress. Packing chinking in where you use nails to hold it is easier than packing it through the wire mesh I used in the video. Just wasn’t any drivin nails in that oak. On the inside you can just tuck it a little top and bottom. God bless
So. Very. Beautiful
You make it look easy. 👀 we all know better🙂
Howdy- chinking is the part I don’t enjoy the most, but it sure gives it a finished look. It takes a bit to get the chinking in and smoothed down. God bless
You can put some fibres in your mix to prevent cracking.
Howdy y’all- you certainly can and I’m sure it would help. There’s different chinking recipes out there but I’ve just used what has worked for me. Thank you so much for watching the video and commenting. God bless
3 parts sand 1/2 Portland 1/2 n masonry. 1/2 gal water
Do you use the same mud mixture in winter brother & what is the set time of it I know about the outdoor temp & humidity & are you using river sand OR MAN made sand
Howdy Keith- I use the same mixture year around. The sand I use is clean masonry sand. Yes, the setup time will vary with temperatures and humidity. However, it’s not a good idea to put in chinking when there’s a chance of freezing before it sets up. It sometimes takes a few days for it to completely cure and the color to even out. Take care and God bless you
I much prefer this old school method over the permachink of today, but how does it hold up on green logs? I'm building my first cabin later this year, and I've not heard any long-term reports on how well this holds up over the first few years as the logs shrink significantly.
PS, thank you for the inspiration and your faith!
Howdy Wade- I had much rather use the rigid chinking. You are right about the logs shrinking so you need to let the logs settle for a year before chinking. During that time you can be doing the other work on the cabin. The old timers would chink as soon as the cabin was up but they didn’t have access to the modern cements we do today. The clay that they used was soft enough to let the logs settle and not cause damage. Back in those days chinking was just a job of upkeep. The cement mixture I use has lasted 27 years in our log home and still looks great. In the video I mentioned I used to mix in sifted red clay which was mainly for color and now I use mortar dye. Wishing you the very best with your cabin build. If I can be of any help just let me know. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all
Interesting to watch. Love log buildings. I come across them every so often when I work on renovating an old house and you remove the drywall or so on the inside and suddenly a log wall peeks back out on you. A lot of old houses in Sweden are built of logs. Even the one I live in.
But this is a first for me to see the gaps being filled in with so called "chinking" never seen that on any log house/ cabin in Sweden.
I understand that you did this on the smoker just to keep the smoke inside but I see you have it on the cabin aswell. Is this a more normal way to do it in the USA? I reckon I've seen other American cabins built that way
Howdy- I love the skill and style of the log buildings in Europe. The craftsmanship is outstanding. In the early, formative years of America the settlers were in a hurry to get a shelter built for protection against the elements. There were people who brought their log building skills with them and introduced log buildings here. But, not everyone had the skill to do what was done in the “ old country “. As the country grew and people people migrated from the east the chinking gap sort of evolved to be what they did. And it became what is considered to be the traditional log cabin. Since I am pretty much a traditionalist that is what I like to do. I have a friend who lives in Estonia who does the full scribe log work and it is beautiful. Thank you so much for coming by and watching our video. God bless you
The Bearded Carpenter Thanks so much for the reply. This cleared up things :)
I kinda like the look of the chinking and it does serve a purpose of being air tight. It's nice that you keep the traditions alive.
God bless you too
@@2strokepower803 Thank you. I hope this year is filled with blessings and peace for you
Awesome work. I haven't done much work with portland cement/chinking. Do you have to just mix a little at a time to keep it from setting up on you before you put it in the gaps? Can you wet it periodically to keep that from happening?
You make it all look so easy. I have a sneaking suspicion that, when I actually get the chance to work on a cabin of my own, it's going to prove more challenging than it appears. :D
Jim Aldridge Hi Jim- actually when you get the hang of it the chinking goes a lot faster. If I’m working by myself l usually mix a single batch- more if l have help. Occasionally l will dampen it some if l got it a little too stiff to start with. Adding water makes it go in easier but it can be a problem with sagging on you. Once you get going with it you’ll learn what works best for you.
God bless y’all
looks like a lot of work ,but the results are well worth the effort
Bruce McMillan Howdy Bruce- you’re right, it’s work but it sure makes it come together and you can see each log real well. God bless you
This was great, that’s a lot of chinking!
Glad to have it done
Hello Sir,
Would it be a bad idea if you took all the sawdust from your cuttings & mixed it with a bonding adhesive then used it to do the chinking,it would blend in better with the logs also?.
Just an idea that came to me. 🏡
Howdy RB- I’ve never tried that but I wouldn’t say it won’t work. I like the contrast the chinking gives the logs. Take care and God bless
I think a short straw daub and lime mortar would also work well...
Howdy Rian- I’m sure it would. The old timers used a lot of different stuff for chinking. What I use works well for me. Thank you so much for watching the video and for your comment. God bless
Question I'm shure there is a reason. Why leave a gap vs butting it all the way down on the lower log? I'm assuming for expansion and contraction of the log. How or what determines the size gap to use?
Howdy y’all- I build log cabins the traditional way they were built in the South and they had a chinking gap. I pick logs that are close to the same size for each round. I use the same notch dimension on all the logs in the round. The gaps will vary. Take care and God’s blessings to you. Merry Christmas
Tell me please. With this technology of sealing joints, during the drying of the wood, cracks will not form in the cement?
Did you check these seams outside the building with a pyrometer in winter? I would like to understand what kind of heat loss with such sealing of seams.
Howdy- I don’t put the chinking in until the logs have completely settled. I put insulation between the logs before I put the chinking mixer in. The logs in this cabin had been put together for about four years so they were as dry as they would ever get. I wasn’t concerned about heat loss on this little cabin because it is used for cold smoking meat. The cabins I build are all insulated between them and they are very easy to heat and cool. I stopped using red clay in my chinking mixture and use a mortar dye and don’t have cracks in the chinking after it hardens. God bless
@@TheBeardedCarpenter Thanks for your reply sir. God bless.
💙💚
Boy that must take a lot of patience...
Howdy Johnny- yeah, I guess it does take some patience but it’s certainly worth it. When the chinking goes in the log building has a look of completion. God bless
Chinking Recipe:
Three parts of Sand,
1/2 part of Masonry,
1/2 part of Portland,
and 1/2 of water or so.
I can't find Masonry cement type N, is type S ok? Thanks-
Howdy- I’ve never used anything but type N but I think you could use something other than Type N with the Portland cement in the mix. Hope this helps. God bless
Have you ever used half part Lime?
John M. Howdy John- no, I haven’t. I’ve always used the formula in the video with the exception of changing to mortar dye instead of powdered red clay. I’m real happy with how the dye worked and there were no unsightly hairline cracks. Thank you for watching and commenting. God bless you
Does that ever need to be replaced?
Howdy- The chinking has been in our house for 25 years and still holding up well. I don’t think the smoke house chinking will have to be replaced in many many years. Thank you for the question. Take care and God bless you
🤩👍🏼👍🏼

The concrete mix he's using is a bit too dry. That's why he had a hard time to get it to stick.

Howdy good sir I’m new here
23kc Hello- glad ya stopped by. Check it the other videos if ya haven’t already. God bless you
Love it . Local materials are what I’m being told to use? Lime is the ingredient that worries me. I like your recipe but mother in law insists on a recipe told to her. Again local materials are much easier to gather than hauling a mile up a mountain 😂 my worrie is lime could damage the logs? As usual thanks a million. Ps getting some videos and pictures together and will email them. Everyone should see this place it’s a step back in time. .
Howdy Richard- there are different recipes that will work. I was just sharing the one I like to use. I don’t think the lime will bother the logs at all. Lots of cabins were chinked using lime and whatever else they had. Looking forward to seeing the pictures. Take care and have a blessed weekend. God bless y’all
Have you ever noticed that when you have a good Christian channel that RUclips tends to put satanic commercials on the videos? This video is loaded with fallen angels in the guise of Greek gods commercials on it.
Linda NWFirefighter Howdy Linda- it’s been a good while since I have watched this video so I didn’t see the commercials. When you know the Truth, you can tell the false. Thank you for letting us know. God bless you
Too dry
Just curious. Have you used a product called Perma-Chink. That's what we use here in Colorado.
Howdy y’all- I’ve seen it used but I’ve never used it. It’s pretty pricey but I’m sure it’s a great product. Doing live edge logs would be very expensive for me to use it. It certainly has its advantages for sure. Thank you so much for watching our video. Take care and God bless
@Bearded Carpenter I know you probably addressed this in one of your videos, but I haven't found it. If you build with green logs can you chink right away after getting a roof on? Or will it crack with settling and shrinking?
Howdy Richard- I always let the logs settle for a year before putting the chinking in. Since I use a rigid cement mix that doesn’t move I have to do that. There are products that are available that you can use after you get the logs up, but it is very expensive. Most notably is the Perma Chink that I know about. It does adhere well to the logs from what I understand and will move with the logs because of its flexibility. I have never used it, though. I put insulation in the chinking gaps to seal out the air until it can be chinked. To answer your question about the rigid chinking cracking and breaking, yes, it’s gonna be a mess if you chink too soon. Hope this helps. Take care and God bless you
@@TheBeardedCarpenter Thank you so much for the reply, sir. I enjoy your videos and have dreams of building an authentic dovetail log cabin someday soon. Take care and God Bless you also.
I sure enjoy watching your videos. Your chinking job looks great. I have also watched The Outsider as well as others who have done very well with their chinking job. I have heard one fine builder say metal lathing is the only way to be sure against hair line cracks in the chinking. Is this true? I sure would like to use a much less expensive option if it would work just as well. It looks to me like you have used some kind of wire. I know you are an experienced carpenter and I am very impressed with every thing you do. I just want to make sure I don't mess this part of my project up. What ever choice I make , I wouldn't blame anyone but myself if things don't turn out right.I also would like to know how I could get the chinking a tanned color instead of the gray. One builder said he used a pre dyed cement called Flamingo C74. I've tried and tried to find out what this product is and haven't been able to locate it yet. Do you know where this product can be purchased? God bless you brother. Your videos are a real blessing to me.
The metal lathing is quite expensive to use for a bond for chinking. I don’t think it’s any better than using hardware cloth which is what I use. Anything made from metal has skyrocketed the last couple years. In my chinking mixture I use Solomon dyes, light buff which is pretty close to what the color would be if red clay was mixed in. I feel the red clay is what contributes to the hairline cracks. After switching to using a dye I don’t have the hairline cracks anymore. I was buying the dye from a brick company that is now out of business. Oh, I should mention the hardware cloth I use is the 1/2”. Hope this helps you. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all
I’ve looked into the cement mix with the dye already in it also. I would have to buy a full pallet to be able to get it. Blessings
@@TheBeardedCarpenter Thank you so much for giving me this valuable information. I sure appreciate all the helpful tips I have learned from you. I really like your videos. I sure would like to see you and one of your log cabins in person some day. I appreciate the clean Christian character you always represent in all your videos. May God bless and keep you and make his face to shine upon you and give you peace, in Jesus name, amen.
