When I graduated high school I sought a big challenge in life. To alone, with only simple hand tools and raw power, build my own traditional off grid log cabin by hand from the materials of the Swedish forest. I film everything myself and edit these videos so you can follow my journey and hopefully learn as I do. I have no earlier experience in any of this, just a visualization of what I want to achieve and willpower to learn and improve everything necessary. So I enjoy reading good advice in the comments. Enjoy!
In this episode I am doing to opening for the windows in the log cabin walls.
Next episode will show opening of the doorway and building up towards the roof.

You are taking your time, doing it right, and will have an excellent place to live when the freezing weather arrives. Keep it up, you are doing a great job. I'm always looking forward to more videos from you, much sooner please. From the USA. ;-)

Eriks method of building a loghouse is more than 800years old. Oldest logbuilding in Sweden is a Church dated at around 1220.

@almandragoran 3 года назад

@@Holli622 It’s actually far older than that. The oldest surviving log building in Sweden is from the 1200’s as you say, but they show up in the archaeological record at least 1000 years earlier, and become more and more common during the Viking period (ca 800 - 1100 AD) and then carry on through the Medieval period into almost the Modern era.

I always get excited when I receive notification of a new video and I am never disappointed. I am continuously amazed by your ability to scribe the underside of the logs to the last ones. Having seen several different log structure methods, yours is by far the most labor intensive and clearly the best in terms of sealing out the elements. Your skills are impressive. Keep up the good work!

Erik, I hope you are well! It looks like your back becomes stronger! Do you do some sport to support your backbones? Doing a grait job! One thing: The Hammerthing: Traditionell german carpenters use only wood-hammers when they hammer on a chisel. It has more power is much more secure for the hand and the fingers and it has 10 times more space to hit the chisel on the right place. An if you prepare the place for the window frames- use the smaler chisels because then you have much better faster results. In smal spaces yous smal tools, big places big tools. The chisels needs space to moove... I am a carpenter. This wood hammers cost between 10 or 20 euros by amazon (in German-Holzhammer-Schreinerknüppel) Greets from Hamburg in Germany!
