good

[TheCaryeHoy]

nice job 

[luxuryloghomes]

I wonder how long will it take you to finish all the stuff? The cuttings seem not that fast. However, seeing the results is all worth the wait.

its all about using the 346XP

А зачем ему такая длинная шина на пиле ???? Неудобно же....И слишком медленно он всё делает! ... А в целом неплохо!

[o56kid]

why dont you just use the whole bar, cuut one side then the other....

Just seems like a dumb way to do it but I dont know anything about log cabins, im a timber faller. . .

[EastB2000]

@o56kid It is very hard to see the line you are trying to cut on the far side of the log. Especially the further down the log you go. Thus cutting just the side closest to you where you can see it easily.

[jeremyhall420]

@o56kid I can tell by your comment your a child and by your name.. So I believe its you whom knows nothing of falling timber.

[o56kid]

@jeremyhall420 Want some pics? Got plenty. give me an email & you can see some of my work. . .

[jeremyhall420]

Why not be a man and use an ax like real men did back in the day to build there homes? Oh I forgot there's no such thing as real men in America anymore its all pussies and politics these days.. Brainwashed man brainwashed.. Go primitive pays off more in the end.

@jeremyhall420 Considering I was up before the sun, stood in the rain and cold all day, caught over 30 lbs worth of steelhead trout. I think that makes me man enough. .

[hadlock]

@jeremyhall420 not to mention that this doesn't look any faster than using a saw, axe and chisel

[riverjoe47]

Whats a log wizard ? how much do they cost and where do you get them?

[1overthehillsfaraway]

@riverjoe47 a log wizard would not work at all for finishing the notches. The fastest easiest and most accurate way to do it is exactly as this video shows. Use the chainsaw.

[dieselfanaticIN]

I'd rather make the general notch with the chainsaw then the more of the smoothing and fitting I'd finish out with a logwizard

[tapoutish]

i'm not that good with a chainsaw,i'd mess it up bad.i'll stick with my trusty axe lol.

[mydeardiaries]

CLEAN JOB-------HMMM!

[pixiesmate]

It's called progress dasgemuse or we could go all the way back in time and use stone axes to cut the joints but then we wouldnt need to because we would be living in caves

Dick Proenneke did pretty good for himself in '68 with an old plain tooth Disston crosscut, and he was 50!

[mydeardiaries]

IS HE SANDING WITH SAW?

[dirtTdude]

true, but Dick Proenneke was a rock star. his logs were 1/2 the size and made of spruce

[SuperCubPA18]

@dirtTdude Just watched the video again and saw your comment. While his logs were spruce and small, that doesn't mean you couldn't use a crosscut saw. Lots of trail clearing is done today with them, and the logs are commonly Douglas Fir 4' in diameter. I count 8-9 easy strokes through a 5" dry yellow Pine with my Simonds 520. Dick's saw was a plain tooth, which are very slow and hard cutting compared to raker tooth saws.

[dirtTdude]

@SuperCubPA18 i dont know about all that fancy saw mumbo jumbo is all about, but dick built a cabin by hand and i've built a log cabin by hand do you have any videos of the cabin you built?

[SuperCubPA18]

@dirtTdude Not yet, I'm falling the trees this fall and winter and putting the cabin up next fall I think after they season. I'll have a few videos of the falling and bucking of the logs up soon. Still taking my time getting tools together, practicing methods, and picking a good site. I'll have a saw sharpening video as well. I'm planning on building with all hand tools, and also a shingle roof if I can. I just like crosscut saws and find they work great for me. Nothing against chainsaws.

[dirtTdude]

@SuperCubPA18 cool, might want to have a look at some of my videos.... BTW, there has never been a chainsaw anywhere near my cabin

[truegolfer666]

dasgemuse, a chainsaw has every right in building a loghome as any other piece of equipment. Log cabins only "stands" for shelter. If the pineers and settlers of this country had chainsaws they sure as hell would have used them. I f you want to build a loghome with an axe feel free but don't rag anyone else for doing it. Especially when it's probably a company trying to finish in the shortest amount of time

[dasgemuse]

a chain saw goes against everything a log cabin stands for. use an axe. even if it takes you a year longer you will be much more humble and proud of your work.

[SuperCubPA18]

You can't build a cabin with only an axe, you would use a crosscut saw for the sawing.

[stryppy]

I want to build a log house in the mountain.

I need to buy the DVD but I am fro romania, hoe can I do it?

[dirtTdude]

easy, just start peeling logs and stacking them up

[1bronsondog]

this is a great video and I like the brushing. I can't wait to get to making my cabin in the n.w.t.

[mydeardiaries]

NWT, MATE?
