Perfect! I'm going to raise up my canvas tent up 4 feet using a base done like this. Can't wait! Will have to figure out the entry is all as it will be raised up by 4 feet. Love this stuff! We have an endless supply of downed cedar to work with.
So Dave... this was very interesting for me... I photograph birds and old buildings. I found a couple fabulous old structures in rural south west Alberta... Very old structures.... I'm thinking late 1800's or older...... My question is: were the notches also designed to repel rain and allow the rain to drip off the structure instead of accumulating in notches and hence to eventually rot...? I see from your video that there's a gentle slope in the notches. Probably a silly question.
Hello Dave, love your video series. Very informative and enjoyable to watch so keep them coming. :) When you final assemble the dovetail cabin, do you use long screws in the dovetail notch corners to secure the logs or do you just rely on the weight of the logs (gravity) on top of the notch to hold the building together?
Fantastic! You have to do a video on proper chainsaw sharpening for log building!
Thank you, that’s definitely on our list. Keep the requests coming!
Molto, molto bravo !
Saluti da Roma

Exactly, water rolls away from the building…think like a raindrop!
what are the dimensions of the lumber
What’s the best joint mid-wall? If I need to run 3 ten foot logs to create a wall how to join them?

Thanks for your support. Yes, we use timber screws in the corners and wooden pegs throughout the length of the logs.
What's better flush notches or overhang ? I know about water run off
Always overhang
very low sound. Cannot hear anything you're saying unfortunately.
Gotta be your equipment I could hear loud and clear
