Hi Tim Great to see you, please be careful with your back !!!!!!!!

I like the 20+ minute videos. Like watching every step, even the repetitive steps.

Looking good, Tim! I also like the peg idea - good way to teach those timbers not to twist - or shout!

Joints look to be dropping together nicely, no surprise with your attention to detail.

Good morning Tim, good to see you back after catching your breath! Your explanation for your templates was great and they are working great for you 👍👍 ! I like how you’re trying to prevent the green wood from wondering so much, it can be such a headache . You’re doing a great job with everything around there. Zippy seems content with his back warming spot. Thanks for sharing with us and keep them coming. Fred.

Good to see you again.

Great video Tim! Has me itching to look into a dovetail cabin project!

Looking good the weather keep me from working on my log house, but now back at it. The green timbers are a lot heavier. Watch your back and keep at it.💚💜👍🏻⚒

A sure sign of spring is you able to be back at it!

Glad to see you back at it Tim!!! 😁🌲

Tim, don't apologise for the delay .....I love the quiet, nay serene calm in your working style and methodology .....wonderful to watch.....didn't know you'd taken up weightlifting as another pastime ! They'll get even heavier using a ladder !

Looking great Tim, my goodness, you have a tractor. Please use it to lift the heavy timbers. Your back will thank you later. Great to see you again, thanks for sharing.

Miss seeing your video's. Keep them coming please.

We all have thing to take care of and waiting on others takes time. The building is looking good so far.

WOW I really like the looks of it and I really like the layout and the templates you made and yes sometimes we have to stop and take care of business of sorts and get back to doing what we like doing.. and I do like the idea of doing it more by hand.. looks like you're going to have to put forks on your tractor when you get up a little higher.. thanks Tim for another great video..

My back was not hurting until I watched the vid. Now it's killing me! Hopefully your next vid will include a hoist so I don't suffer from back pains again. Nice job so far! I do believe that this will turn out to be awesome (just as your barn is).

Nice work.

Nice to see a new video Tim. This build will be great to watch. Be careful hefting those timbers though. I'm convalescing a bulging lumbar disc in part because I manhandled one to many logs. Love your channel!

Lookin sweet Tim! glad your back buddy! Careful on them heavy beasts, don't want your 4 day turning into a un usable 8 day ;)

Cool design! Wait until the wall gets higher, then they’ll really get heavy. I look forward to your hoisting solution.

The craftsman will build a fine cabin. The cabin will build a fine craftsman. Most important tool will be patience.

Good video, looking forward to the rest of the build, maybe rest the logs on pallet forks to save your back, cheers

UNCLEDOUG IN BOONE N.C. LOOKING GOOD DAD !!

looking good man

Looks great!

Please do a video of your templates and how you made them.

Hope your back holds up lifting those heavy logs! Curious to see what you do as the walls get higher. Gonna use same rig as when you built the barn? May the force be with you...always

Hey cowboy save your back I’d do a dolly with a winch system to move and stack those heavy beams. Or ranch hands awesome project

Your horse needs a friend

Yep, 250 pounds, and your back will feel every ounce of it. Time to setup a jib.

Great project!!! FYI...Short timber on the right side of the door looks a little longer than the one beneath it. Might be the camera angle, but I'd hate to see you get to the top before you realize it.

The templates that I’ve used are from this site, www.blocklayer.com/woodjoints/log-dovetaileng.aspx There is so much info and the ability to adjust the measurements to get the fit you want, its a great site.

Looks like the second short board on the left is a bit longer ?

What is the shrinkage factor from green pine to dry ?

👍 good to see you back. How tall is the cabin? -Will

When working with green timber, how much time from mill to pined down do you have before the timber starts to move around?

Thanks, and great instructions! Just wondering what you're screwing into at about the 15:05 mark?

6:34

Is there a reason you aren't using the entire floor length.

Why the gaps between the beams? Straw/hay/Horse health: Very importend to cover hay from rain and humidity. The reason is: humidity creates a fungi and the fungi goes into the body and then it produces illnes to the horse- illnesses that you not often find out so earsy. In Switzerland or Austria and Germanys Bavaria there are special Mointaion farmers that live in the mountain that have the best hay in the world and they build big industrial hay productions with wind and heat drying processes that the humidity is reduced so that no fungi will grow!" And geoes what: The super rich pay millions for the horse food because the doctor is expensive and the horses sometimes cost millions and the make millions...So keep it protected by a cover or a tarpe or so or later build an hay shelter like we do that is protected by a verrrrrry long overhang (cover for snow and rain) and where the wind can blow through the gaps. Here gaps are a must have but why in that new building? Frank

Extremely clear factual direct video and very well presented. Here is a nice saw to cut raw logs into beams and cheap too. Do you see any issues by self cutting the logs into flat beams using this bandsaw ? woodlandmills.co.uk/product/hm126/ If I want to build a log cabin to live in, how would the design differ from what you have shown ? Most grateful for the information, as I new to log cabin building. I look forward to watching all your other videos, e.g. trusses in roof design. Thank you sir.

You need a small dog to help you. If you are going to man-handle those heavy timbers you should at least have one small cheerleader....Stu
