I so enjoy watching the fresh wood curl when it is hand worked. The aroma is a very pleasant one to me. There is so much to the art of master wood crafting taken over by machines ; it is always a pleasure to watch a master at work. I grew up with a back yard neighbor who owned a wood shop across the street to their house. He always allowed anyone in our area to help themselves to the sawdust. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. God Bless
Virginia Reid Howdy Virginia, Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate it very much! You’re right, so much is done with machinery anymore. I love using the old tools- love the way they feel in my hands. May sound strange but it makes me feel closer to what l’m working on and that gives me great pleasure. We had an older man who was a wood worker who lived close to us and all the boys would hang out with him. Loved the smell of his shop. We still have a rocking chair he repaired. God bless you
Got to go out into the woods and work today. One step closer to getting to use my Template. Looking forward to some more time out in the woods here at the house.24 this morning but a good freeze will dry out the woods.Watched the whole video again even know I can't use my template right now, times coming I will, now chores. Thanks again for all you have done.
Howdy Thomas- glad you were able to get out in the woods. I’m not gonna be doing anything for a bit. We’re coming out of a big snow (for us) and ice storm afterwards. Take care and God bless
@@TheBeardedCarpenter Howdy Paul, best hunker down. I will cherish my time yesterday, rain coming all day and night, over an inch, such is with working in the woods. God Bless ya'll.
Santos Howdy Santos- hope you are doing well. Thank you so much for watching our videos. Looking forward to seeing more of your carving. Take care and God bless you
Cruze's Louisiana Outdoors Howdy y’all- Yeah, I’ve had them a few years but they are as strong as ever. They’re built out of treated wood. Thanks for watching. Y’all take care and God’s blessings be with y’all
Emi Howdy Emi- all of this could have been done with an axe like the pioneers did but, I love using my old tools and I keep them sharp enough to shave with, although, it’s obvious that don’t use them for that lol. God bless you
Howdy y’all- I’m so glad you’re getting some information that helps. I sure wish you the very best with your cabin build. If I can be of any help just let me know. God bless y’all
You are my inspirations and follow you for a long time. Please let me know how I can support you. I hope you are taking care of yourself good and well.
Howdy Paul, Tom again and just finished watching part 2 of cutting the remaining portions of the half dovetail. Mainly the underside, you do what I was taught and learned cutting out some on the bottom of the notch. I was taught for a different reason but both reasons compliment each other. In the Appalachia we had pole roofs which meant 6" to 9" overhang allowing the lower logs to get water in them in the Appalachia and same he in Western Washington. The concave area you cut out and I too would cut out to aid in letting air get in the notch and help air it out. It also prevents the log from rocking, the notch just rests on about one inch on each side. Insects moved in and the concave section of your bottom notch and locally is called a "roach pocket". In closing Paul I have a chemical imbalance in my brain. The Doc says no cure but get Outside, Yea Ha!! You are God's answer. Are all 45 episodes on youtube or some select ones? I can watch for free but to download I must subscribe with youtube so I am watching all I can as many times as I can and the screenshot. Again may God Bless you and thanks! You are a blessing!
Howdy Tom- you have taught me something that I hadn’t thought about as far as the air flow under the notches. I can definitely understand why it would be called a roach pocket. Thank you for sharing this. We have 95 videos up and they are all free to watch. If you go to the videos they should be all available for watching. Let me know what you find. Take care and God bless
@@TheBeardedCarpenter Howdy Paul, thanks for your replies and I never thought about getting the bar oil off spray on the outside keeping the plained inside clean.We kinda have traveled the same road. My dad gave me a copy of the first book called "Foxfire". Written by students in Rabun,GA, and I went to where the college students had class. They built 8 log houses for class, The next was Roy underhill so I could build me a Shaving Horse. 4 of his books and 3 of his DVDs. I love listening to Roy, actually watched his chair making last night. Roy is a national treasure I think. I learned from others letting me help. They have all passed but I still got my notebooks full of their methods and.listening. Again thanks for the feedback. Blessing to you and yours. Tom
Lucas Richard Stephens Howdy Lucas - I sure appreciate you watching the video. I feel honored for you to do so. I have really been enjoying your videos. Love the way you do things- it makes me feel like I’m right there with you. Thank you sir. God bless you
Hi Paul, Just found your channel and subscribed. Great videos! I do square rule and french scribe timber framing. Want to build a small dovetail notch cabin this summer....found you and away i go. Thanks again!
Howdy Douglas- thank you so much for subscribing. It would be great be able to learn from you. I have a friend who does nothing but timber framing using recycled timbers. A few years ago I helped him and we used river logs. That was a unique experience building with logs that had been cut many years ago. We didn’t waste anything- no room for errors. Hope all goes well for you with your cabin build- keep me posted on how it goes. My email address is thebeardedcarpenter8@gmail.com. Thank you for coming by. Wishing you the very best. God bless you
Beautiful and always thinking ahead. The concave surface makes it really easy to make minor adjustments for sure. Sharp tools are the ticket!! Do you have any sharpening videos? I havent gone back far enough to find any.
307 J.O.A.T Howdy brother, thank you for watching. Yeah, it sure does help when I have to do a little fitting. Sharp tools are a pleasure to use. How is your logging going? God bless y’all
Looking good brother ---learning from ever vidio you do a great job explaining your work --so it would take you and I how long to stack say 80 logs? sorry just dreaming sure hope you keep the lessons coming!! Thanks again! God Bless you and yours
jeff carpenter Howdy Brother Jeff- boy, it would certainly be fun putting up some logs. I used to travel and do this back some years ago. God bless y’all
A little extra time on the horses, save quite a bit of time when your fitting the log on the wall. It looks likes your spending about a day on each log, from off the sawmill to setting on the finished wall. So 43 logs = about 43 days work on the cabin for walls.
Richard Bohling Sr Howdy Richard- Thank you for watching our videos. I videoed this a while back but we had so much audio problems with it we are just now getting it out. Actually, right now I have the eighth round cut out and ready to put on the walls. The second floor joists are cut out and will be on round eight. We’ve had a tremendous amount of rain that really slowed me down. I have some other things going also. So, I haven’t been able to work on the cabin as much as I would like to. Since we are doing a lot of videoing I spend quite a bit of time getting the cameras set up and making sure I have what I need. I am still learning how to do that.
@@TheBeardedCarpenter I understand the extra time filming and editing. I am just trying to get a time for construction of the cabin. Grading and setting the piers would be one block, setting the sills and joists another block, then the wood deck would be another block. Next the time to build the walls etc. I'll continue to watch and get what I think would be a fair estimate of the time to construct. I'm really impressed with your workmanship. Aside for the ambience of the hewn log cabin, I'm thinking it would be faster to saw the logs to studs and stick frame the cabin. Obviously, a homesteader back in the day wouldn't have been able to do a stick frame, so the log cabin was the only choice he had. But today cost and time would be less doing it the modern way. The argument would be similar to - would I want a wood boat, a steel one or a plastic one . I'll be following along with the build.
Richard Bohling Sr You are absolutely correct on the time it would take to do stick framing compared to using logs. I’ve done both, but there’s just something about a log cabin that fascinates me. It’s such a good feeling of accomplishment. We’ve lived in our house for 25 years now and I enjoy living here but I also know that not everyone can be able to spend the time it takes. I am doing all this cabin by myself so I can appreciate the time and effort it takes. I certainly wish you the very best with what you do. Blessings to you
Dear Sir, thank you for another video graced with masterly skill and precision. Do we chisel and plane till the line or crayon mark is still visible or till they just disappear? Secondly, I had previously requested you to include building dormers in the cabin, which you had said you would consider. May I now request you to consider including techniques to allow for or to compensate for likely settling over the years? Please include both the places where such allowance is to be made, and the actual techniques. Regards.
AS Howdy- I work the notches down to where the crayon marks just disappear and I can still see the pencil line. I use angle iron in the openings to allow for setting. They are slotted into the ends of the logs and up into the header logs. If I use a post I put screw jacks either on the top of the bottom and they can be adjusted for the settling. God bless you
Howdy- I understand what you’re saying. I score the logs before I hew them because when logs were hewed out of the round they were scored to sever the wood fibers to make it easier to hew with a broad axe. The hewn surface gives the logs an authentic look. Hope this explains it. Thank you so much for watching the video. God bless you
Have you ever used a single beveled carpenter's axe, like a small hewing axe, to clean up the notches? Wondering if that would work well or not. If the added weight of the axe head would make it easier to shave the wood or not? I know someone that could forge you one to try out 😁.
Refiner's Forge Howdy brother- the first cabin l built l cut the notches with an axe the way they used to. I may have to take ya up on that. I have a couple of little hewing hatchets. That l’ve used when shaping something. Man, the blacksmithing you do is incredible! God bless y’all
Howdy Marty- I’m using southern yellow pine. I feel that if it’s cut in the dead of winter it helps. I have used pine cut in the warmer months and it does seem to have issues. Hope this helps. God bless you
