Somehow your last few videos have passed me by, so I had to search for them. Glad you are ok was worried for a bit there. Now to catch up. All the best John from Scotland🏴
Howdy John- glad you found us again. Sometimes I don’t get notifications on channels I’m subscribed to. Under present circumstances we’re not able to get out as many videos. Hope that changes in the near future. God bless you
It’s hard to verbalize how much I appreciate your generosity in sharing all your wisdom. So much to admire: your knowledge, patience, absolute commitment to precision, and humble nature. I wish we were friends in real life, and, in a way, I know we are as brothers in Christ.
Howdy Stephen- thank you so much for the kind words. I’ve made lots of friends on RUclips and for that I am very thankful. If you’re ever in our neck of the woods drop on by. Thank you and God bless you
Thank you Paul for another great video. I can really appreciate your patience with making precise measurements, makes everything worthwhile. I wish I had met you 45 years ago so I could have learned from you. May God protect and bless you and your family everyday 🙏🙏🙏.
Howdy David- I sure appreciate you watching the video and for the kind words. Log building is something I have always had a passion for. God bless and keep you
You always teach so one can understand you. For a complete greenhorn in building log cabins, I am beginning to develop a vocabulary on this. Take Care. May God Bless
Howdy Brother- it ties the top plates down pretty good. Thank you for the kind words. Hope you’re doing well out there and staying safe and warm. God bless
Howdy Marc- yeah, that saw was a good investment. I’ve used it quite a bit,especially for cutting timbered rafters. The logs are starting to get the aged look. Thank you for stopping by and watching the video. Stay warm up there. God bless you
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for coming by and watching the video. Yeah, that saw has been a big help a lot. The log wheels makes it easier when you’re working by yourself. Take care and God bless y’all
Howdy Brother- thank you for the kind words. We’re having a very mild winter here- a bit cold in the mornings but warms up through the day. I’m looking forward to to someday meeting you also. I’m loving your cabin build. Keep up the good work and videos. Take care and God bless you
Howdy Paul, I hope your day is going well. I just discovered that you don't live too far from my wife and I. I feel like we owe you dinner for all the information you share with this community. Thanks for all you do to serve others. Lord willing, my wife and I are planning to put the skills you sharing to use as we build our own cabin. Although we're still several years away from being able to begin the project, we are studying and learning all we can now so that we can be as prepared as possible. I am aware that log homes settle over time, and that some type of anchor rods are used in most of them. I'm curious why they are needed. I would have assumed that the notches along with the weight of the logs themselves would be enough to keep the structure tight and sturdy. When it is convenient for you, would you mind explaining the details of their necessity? Thanks again for all you are doing. Have a great day! God bless, Bill
Howdy Bill- so glad to hear that you will be building your own cabin in the future. I used the all thread on the top four rounds and tied them together. It’s possible that you could get by without doing that but I like to do as much as possible to ensure everything stays put. I’m not sure how far away you are but y’all are welcome to come on over when you get a chance. Shoot me an email at thebeardedcarpenter8@gmail.com. Would love to meet y’all. Thank you for the nice comment. God bless ya’ll
Howdy Denis- thank you so very much! Those logs that might not be real straight sometimes can be cut for shorter logs. Actually, they look great in the wall when the chinking is in. They have a nice character appeal. I’m looking forward to seeing your build. Take care and stay warm up there. God bless
In the future you should put 30 pound felt under the wood sill even if it is pressure treated as an isolation membrane especially if it is exposed to the elements.
You Sir are living proof, of where theres a will , there is a way !! i thoroughly enjoy watchin You work . I worked with an ol carpenter back in my younger days , he had a sayin, that if a man aint goin to use his head , he mays as well have two butts. Always thinkin a step ahead !! Keep up the good work!! I got a question , what kind of saw , was that on your Alaskan mill , & what cc?? Thanks
Howdy James- thank you so much. The older I get the smarter I try to work. The chainsaw I use on my Alaskan is a Husky 394 with a 28” bar. It’s 94cc. It’s got the power to pull the mill. Take care and God bless
A friend bought a kit log house, he wanted to build himself. He was a mechanic with no construction experience. He asked me if I'd help him with the electric since I'm an electrician, I said of course. When I told him he needed to drill holes in the logs to run the electric wires, he didn't like that, he kept saying there has to be another way. I kept telling him that's what you have to do, he said he was afraid it would weaken the log. He didn't want to cut holes for boxes either. I ended up telling him to find some else, two electricians later, he ended up doing it himself with wiremold, it looks like hell, he had a beautiful new house with wiremold everywhere.
Howdy- I did a historical restoration a few years ago and we drilled the logs for electrical. It doesn’t weaken the log and sure looks better. Some people put the boxes in the chinking gaps but I think it looks nicer to put them in the face. Thank you for coming by and watching the video. God bless
@@TheBeardedCarpenter The chinking gaps aren't wide enough for the whole box so you still end up having to notch a little out of the log above and below, then the plate doesn't sit nice. I got out of residential work and only worked commercial for the last 20 years, dealing with homeowners is too much of a headache. I really like your videos Thank you.
@@bigredc222 I’ve worked a little bit in commercial but mostly residential. Sometimes you have to work at a relationship with homeowners but I’ve been pretty fortunate. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. I sure appreciate you watching them. Blessings
I'm growing concerned. Why? Because the cabin is nearing completion, and I wish to continue watching new videos of the cabin build. You do fine work and it's been awesome to watch the progress.
Howdy Bama- tying the top four rounds together I’d just something I do to help make the walls a bit stronger. Where I live out in a rural area there aren’t really any codes for a log structure. Thank you for watching the videos. God bless you
Howdy Mr. Duke- thank you so much. I got the rafters up and the decking ordered. I’ll be thankful when the roof is on. I should have started sooner and maybe I could have kept up with ya. Your cabin is amazing! God bless you brother
Mr. Carpenter, please I have a question: why do you leave a gap between the wood logs? Wouldn't it be better to give it a firm straight cut? Thank very much .
Howdy John- that’s a good question, different people have asked that very thing. I am a traditionalist, and where we live cabins were built that way using the natural shape of the logs just hewing two sides. We have come a long way with different types of insulation and chinking material. There are people who do full scribe log work and it looks really great. I live in a log house and I used close cell foam for insulation on both sides of the chinking gap and chinked over it. After the chinking is in the natural shape of each log shows the log’s “personality”. Thank you for your comment and for watching the video. God bless you
@@TheBeardedCarpenter Esteemed Sir, thanks you very much for your reply. This world of cabin building is fascinating. His method of assembling the logs is magnificent. I live in Miami but I love the North. I am very grateful for your explains and your time. I'm new to your channel but I'll be watching all your videos. Blessings for you as well.
Howdy HG- I’ve seen that done also. If the intersection of the corner is supported on a pier or continuous foundation it doesn’t weaken the upper notch on the sill log. There is solid wood down to the foundation. That is a good question though. Thanks for stopping by and watching the video. God bless you
Howdy Gregg- that saw has a 16 1/2” blade. The new Skilsaw has a 16 5/16” blade. Got one for each hand now lol. Thank you for watching the video. Take care and God bless you

Good idea using all thread to bolt the upper logs as you did there Paul. Great looking cabin. God Bless.
Howdy Brother- it ties the top plates down pretty good. Thank you for the kind words. Hope you’re doing well out there and staying safe and warm. God bless
That’s a serious looking saw Paul! The cabin is looking better all the time, I like the grayed up colour of those logs👍
Thanks Paul✌️

Fine work as always Paul. That saw is something else. I really like the wheeled cart also.
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for coming by and watching the video. Yeah, that saw has been a big help a lot. The log wheels makes it easier when you’re working by yourself. Take care and God bless y’all
