Hi Matthias, I can´t wait to see what you are going to build really. By looking at the foundation works, I know whatever is going to be is going to be beautiful with a high degree of craftsmanship. I salute you and remove my hat to your skills. Cheers, Carlos
Things i learned harvesting logs and seasoning them. After you cut it down peel it and seal the ends and wile off the sap. If you dont when it rains mold will grow soon after. Keep logs out of the rain!
Thanks for the advice. How do you seal the ends? The wood was under a tarp for a few months and now when I build the wood is in the rain. When I build, I peel the surface one more time with a draf-knife and spray it with a wood preparation against mold, insects and fungi, and then I stack them on the cabin.
A lot of hard work. You certainly deserved to sit in top of that beautiful pile of logs. You earned and deserved it. Thanks for all the subtitles, they are very helpful. Maybe I didn’t see it, about what is the average size log in width? Thanks.
Yes, hard work that brings me joy :) Now that the logs are peeled and dried, the average diameter is about 22 centimeters, that's 8.6 inches. This diameter together with the length I have is the right balance for me between when the log cabin seems massive to me and between when the logs can still be moved by one person. But the look is just my personal preference. All the cabins are beautiful.
So amazing to watch you work, you are such an amazing craftsman, you learn as you go, and repetition becomes perfection. The bonus is that I have seen you carefully sharpening your hand tools, which I'm certain works to your advantage. I just wish you could maybe re-edit these videos with some personal commentary about the process, or feelings as the build progressed. Thank You for your hard work. ❤😊
You're a strong bugger Matt, but look after that back dude, or you'll pay for it in later life, haha and ruptures or hernias might slow the build down a bit Great video, I'm following your content with interest
Siempre que veo este tipo de videos, en que aparece gente construyendo algo, casi siempre sin ayuda, me pregunto ¿Tienen conocimientos de carpintería o simplemente hacen las cosas? Lo encuentro admirable.
@matthiascabinchronicles hello…I found a tree service that will cut (100) of my pine trees for $2000 and that’s delimbed and stacked. I was wondering how long after they are cut do I have to debark them before any type of problem like bugs occurs? Thank you so much.
Hey, that is a very good price. The most important thing is that the trees are cut down in the winter when the water and all the tree juices go to the root. Logs harvested in winter will be healthy logs and will not be as interesting to bugs. I started peeling my logs about a month after they were cut, and it took another month before I peeled the last log. When it comes to building a log cabin, one big advantage is that you don't even have to dry the wood and you can build from fresh wood almost immediately after debarking. I dried the wood because I wanted to get slightly lighter logs. Good luck with your build my friend!
By the time I post this video, the wood is actually already dry. So stay tuned for the next videos coming soon!
👍👍👍
a proud moment sitting on top of all your effort … 🦋💕
All the best for your journey, can't wait to see it finished
Thanks!
Another great job Matthias!
Thanks again!

You can seal the ends with diluted wood glue, that will stop wood from cracking

I saw in the captions that the logs are fir that you cut from private land. I wonder did you cut them yourself by hand or did you hire a tree feller?

I love watching Erik's videos 😃

How long from scraping to dry?
It depends on your climate and the time of year. I only needed to dry the logs for 2-3 months before I start building.
@@matt.jacobs1
Thanks
Next year
By the time I post this video the wood is actually already dry. So another video is coming soon!
You need to invest in a cant hook . Sure would make rolling logs around easier.
Great tip! But I already have one. I used it several times in the video, but some shots are sped up so you can't see it.
Matias hermano, subtítulos en Español!!un abrazo
On RUclips, you can turn on "auto-translate" subtitles into various languages, including Spanish :D
