    Part 14:
    We are using dead standing pine trees cut from my 40 acre property and some spruce. The logs are arranged in a butt and pass method and then held together with spikes.
    We mostly rely on the help of a chainsaw to cut the logs, a tractor to drag and a lot of labor to lift them and put them in place. The pines in this replanted forest are fat too overgrown and have been grossly mismanaged. The trees should have be cut and thinned nearly a decade ago. Removing the dead trees is a good start to rehabilitating the forest. Later, we will thin even more and get the forest ready for replanting and rejuvenating.
    In this part, we will continue to erect the log cabin walls from the foundation up. I will use the butt-and-pass method which laps one row of logs over the other, while fastening the logs together with spikes. This is simpler and quicker because it does not require the tedious work of scribing each log and notching.
    A butt-and-pass corner joint on a log home creates the look of a rustic, old-fashioned cabin. As the logs are laid to create the outside corners of the building, the first log on each layer extends past the corner, and the log forming the other wall butts into the first. As the timbers are laid to build up the corner, the extended logs alternate for an effect that resembles interlaced fingers.

    "Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.

      Some advise on using espresso coffee in a French Press.
      just prior to pressing the coffee, stir the mix a little. This will loosen up the grinds and you will be able to press the coffee easier.
      Yes I learned by trial and error.
      MOSTLY ERROR.

    Drill holes in the both the end of the log and the piece of log you need to reattach and use rebar to reattach the smaller piece to the main log. Three or four pieces of rebar should work fine and if you line it up right, nobody but you, Don, Chris and 141K subscribers will know ;)

    It's coming along well! I think what determines the color of the finished syrup is the initial sugar content of the sap and how you filter it. We used to nearly always have dark syrup, but when we upgraded our system, it's now nearly always lighter. I'm not sure the exact correlation between sugar content and final coloring, but I prefer the darker stuff... it's got a deeper maple flavor.
    Also, I think I'm gonna buy one of those grills for my dad. He'd love it, lol. I'll use your code. :D

    They're beautiful pieces of wood! Many years ago dad made mom a coffee table from a piece of burl wood. He sanded, and after it was completely smooth he used linseed oil to draw out the color. My parents are both gone, but that table still looks as beautiful today in my living room now as it did back then. Maybe consider a natural oil like linseed rather than an epoxy which will yellow over time. The shack is looking awesome!

    Reattaching the end of the overhanging log: Position and line-up both pieces to make registration marks at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. Connect the registration marks across the endgrain surface to form bisecting lines. The point where they intersect should be somewhere near the center, but doesn't need to be exact as it will be mirrored perfectly on the opposite/facing surface based on the registration marks. Use that "centerpoint" on each face to locate and mark for a square mortise, sized to whatever piece of beefy lumber you can reasonably fit in there. Cut the tenons with drill press/chisels and make it as tight a fit as possible to the tenon/pin. Once sledgehammered into place and nicely mated, drive screws from the sides into the pin to lock everything in place. The tenon/pin is enduring the sheer force of the roof weight, so the screws just keep the assembly from working it's way apart laterally over time.

    Instead of shimming, you could add a cross piece of milled 2x4 underneath, tying in your roof and your horizontal logs.

    I am Canadian but our family always adds more milk to the pancake batter and make crepes. They cook faster and more evenly and then we add butter and syrup and roll up to eat. YUM. Wish we had maple syrup trees where I live in BC

    The finer the grind the greater potential for bitterness to occur. Your'e grind should be of medium quality. I got that from a friend in the business and it surprised me because I had always thought that the finer the grind the richer the flavor, not the case unless you like it bitter. Carry on Kevin, looking good.

    The walnut cut was remarkably beautiful. After you put it on sticks to dry the reddish color typically disappears but you never know. You may know this but for this to be ready for fine furniture I believe the moisture content has to be around 12% although with air drying it may not drop to that level and end up at 13-14% still stable enough for fine furniture. Anyway you slice it the color and grain figuration is stunning. Thanks

    That coffee looked good. Sugar shack's coming along and will be useful for next year's sugaring off.

    Kevin , ranch dormer would look good on the cabin , just an idea lol . On the purlin that's too short drill a hole thru the the whole add on piece and use a wooden dowel 1 1/2 " or bigger then connect it into the purlin . You guys are doing a good job , keep up the good work , Those hotcakes and maple syrup looked damn good .
