In the fall of 2018 I purchased a Woodlandmills HM126 bandsaw mill. This was the first step on my journey to building a dovetail log cabin and an off grid life in the wilderness of eastern Canada.
Through this journey I have also grown a small RU-vid channel, learned countless lessons, and connected with numerous people from both my local area and farther abroad.
This journey has been exceedingly rewarding. The feeling of building a home with one's own hands is hard to describe. It is an immense amount of work, but completely worth it.
Thank-you for watching!

Are you ready to build the best chicken coop ever? Then you need this book! ru-vid.comUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- It has tons of awesome barns and coops that you can choose from, without making you dizzy with too many options. The book is super easy to follow, with lots of pictures and videos to show you how it's done. But don't expect to learn everything about chickens here, this book is all about the structures. You'll have to look elsewhere for chicken care tips. Trust me, this book is a must-have for any chicken lover!

I was so happy you didn’t fully enclose the upstairs porch as you did with the front porch. At least screens allow for fresh air. So sad to have lost that downstairs area for porch-sittin’. The house is beautiful.

Great job out in the wilderness and the cabin looks great. Watch those windows and doors though. You secured the vertical window and door bucks to the log courses and appeared to leave no gap at the top for vertical settlement. With green logs (I assume) you’re going to have problems.

Unbelievably fabulous job building this cabin. I do think I would have never closed in the upstairs balcony. It overlooks the creek and was your money shot. I would have been up there every day outdoors, but protected from the elements while enjoying my favorite cocktail.
@PenniacWilderness
@PenniacWilderness Год назад
Yea, I hear you and partially agree. My reasoning to close it in was mostly that I wanted to be able to have an area to sit that was free of bugs during the month we have mosquitoes and blackflies. This will give me that.

@@PenniacWilderness I read this comment before I got to that part of the video and my first thought was "screens." I am in the deep south US and insects can ruin me sitting outside too. Although here, bug season is anytime over 60F, so, most of the year lol.

Quality craftsmanship from start to finish. I do believe that there is a tremendous amount of unnecessary overbuild. Bording over the stack wall main frame defeats the purpose and is a extra consumption of material. At what point does solid become a waist of lumber? I believe this building could have been built solid and structurally sound using 35 percent less lumber. And the result would be just as beautifully finished as this building is. You get top points from me however I'm just saying there is a line of nessary ,needed and practical that is important to know that line and when and if its worth crossing. Thank you for the detailed look at the project . I am in the process of a similar build. I've just cut my logs and moved them to the site and in the process of purchasing a mill. I have operated wood mizer mills for a few years in the past and enjoy sawing as much as building. This will be my retirement home off grid to enjoy the rest of my days in . My goal is to build it to my needs and to what looks good to me not others and efficiently used material to standards of common scents not county building bylaws. Ie. A log carrying beam opposed to a laminated engineere beam . And my log wall will be my finished product. This is what makes a log house practical to me and a post and beam house simply an extra 30 percent more money to build. That's just a simple hill Billy mountain boys opinion tho .

A "spindle tree" must be made for window and door openings, because the frame will fall in due course, so that the log will not be left to bear.

Hi sweetie it’s nice to see you again. I use the double hard on my sawmill. It lasts so much longer. The cedar I saw is kind of abrasive so regular blades last about 45 minutes in the wood. I got the double hard on sale in December for about 22 bucks a blade shipped in the 15 packs. Can’t wait to get sawing again, everything is under 4 feet of snow. God bless you and the family.

@@PenniacWilderness seems a lot of people who do videos on how to put the screws and nail through the valleys and thats where the water is not on the ridges and i have been trained here in New Zealand that we put the screws/nails in the ridge to to prevent moisture getting into your roof so not sure why so many in America do that must be that those outside the us understand water does not run along a ridge line just like in nature keep up the good work and thanks for an enjoyable video
