A dovetail log house tutorial: we look at the parts and terms used in a dovetail cabin from the first log to the top log of the home. We also pull apart a dovetail notch to show you the connector and receiver faces. In this Log Talk with Dave, we familiarize you with the terminology of a log home such as the log rounds, the face and should cuts, the chinking setback and gap, the sill and header logs and the cap and ridge pole. This is a great intro into log building if you are considering building your own cabin or taking a course with us at the British Columbia School of Log Building.

friggin awsome

Pěkná super práce nádherný 🇨🇿👍
Hey Dave, thanks for uploading these vids, love it ! Im a carpenter from southern germany and am considering to give log house building a go. More and more of the bigger companies here are using cnc techniques to produce houses and thats just not my cup of coffee. How is the market for log houses looking in canada ? Dying art or is it in fashion again ? There is a couple companies here building them, too, but i am wondering what my job chances are if I gained a few years experience in europe and then planned to move to canada?
Hi Korbi, glad you like the videos. The log building industry in Canada is alive and well and we’re always looking for experienced and reliable employees. Best of luck to you and come and introduce yourself if you’re ever in Canada!
@@bcschooloflogbuilding4385 thanks, Dave, thats great to hear ! All the best to you, too!
Please do a video about how to match your pitch flat on both the ridge and the cantilevered eve ends. I cant wrap my head around how to make sure they are both on the same plane. This is complicated further if multiple purlins are involved.
Thanks for the ideas. Keep them coming! We'll try and get some more log building videos up as soon as possible. Thanks!
@@bcschooloflogbuilding4385 well if you're really looking for ideas, Id love to see a video about building a log truss. Trusses can be as complicated or simple as one likes. Round logs into others, fully scribed or logs squared on the ends where they meet the other truss logs. Either way a beautiful truss is a piece of art and I havent seen many good videos about layout. A video for instance laying out and creating a simple 12/12 truss to keep angles basic and simple, that theory could be applies to any pitch.
@@camaro6810 thanks for another great idea. We're working on more videos for the channel so we'll keep you posted.
@@bcschooloflogbuilding4385 Another idea would be to show how are floor (or ceiling) beams attached to the walls "properly".
I'm sure there are zillion ways how to do it, but only a handful of videos I have watched address this in detail. There have to be better and worse solutions for various reasons I don't know.
@@Puleczech thanks for the ideas, keep them coming. We offer an online log building course that goes into this in detail. We’ll see what we can come up with for a brief log talk. Here’s the link to the course if you ever want to check it out:

Thanks for your input.
What size of gap do you typically use for dove tail builds? love your style of builds!
Thanks! We leave a 3/4” chink gap.
Interesting! 👍 This log cabin seems to be bombproof! 😄 What are the dimensions, if it's not a secret? 😉
Hi ! This is a 20’ x 24’ cabin built with 12” x 20” timber.
@@bcschooloflogbuilding4385 Thats inzane :)
Dats some big wood
Very low sound volume makes it difficult to hear...
proszę pana, pan nie wie , czym jest zleg ciesielski. (Sir, you don't know what the so-called carpenter's sickness is.)
No
What?
@@Puleczech its too many holes draft and shit, this is not good way
@@lu9thix Lol, you mean those horizontal holes that are supposed to be chinked afterwards?
