We appreciate all of you, THANKS again and GOD BLESS!
You’ve got a good work habit. It’s hard to find people today who understand the pattern of work. Especially young people. They don’t realize you actually need to learn how to work. It’s not just flailing away energetically but rather looking at the job long enough to actually see something of the pathway that leads to a successful conclusion. It took my dad several years just to teach me how to swing an ax or dig with a shovel.Too bad there aren’t more like you still demonstrating the way forward.
James Payne Howdy James- I was taught how to work at an early age. I appreciate you watching and the kind words. God bless you
Once again you have showed more of the intricate repairs for a old log cabin. Your historical knowledge is astounding. Thank yo so very much for sharing your restoration of this cabin. May God Bless
Virginia Reid Howdy Virginia- Thank you so much for watching. History is a subject l certainly enjoy. Blessings and good health to you
NICE TO SEE HOW YOU MADE THESE REPAIRS, IN A FEW YEARS NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW. YOU CAN SEE YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL. GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE
michael white oldtimer Howdy Micheal- Thank you so much for watching. Yeah, they’ll weather pretty well and come together. Take care and God bless you
Paul , that was a great way to save the look of the old cabin , I always learn something new and its a pleasure to watch it all come together , thanks for sharing , stay safe , God bless brother !
Michael 58 Howdy Brother- l sure appreciate you watching the videos. I’ve done this before and it works well. God bless you
Howdy Mr. Paul....great job on salvaging those boards from the ole termites! My dad taught me the ole skill saw scoring method for notching when I was a kid...can't tell you how many times I've used it through the years! Have a great day!
Cruze's Louisiana Outdoors Howdy Chris- I’ve watched my Dad do that also. Those logs were in sad shape and since they were on the front of the cabin I needed to give them some attention. There are some more that needs some tlc. Thank you for watching. God bless y’all
Amazing to see how you manage to conserve and restore the termite damaged logs, and do it in a way that makes sure they will end up matching the original look of the cabin 👍Thank you for sharing another episode, and have a good weekend and blessed Sunday ♡
Emi Howdy Emi- Thank you so much for watching our videos. I sure appreciate it. Sometimes you have to just think up ways to fix the old cabins. God bless you
I'm glad to see that you're off of that roof. These temperature changes are making the process much better I would imagine.
David Gadbury Howdy Brother- Yeah, the cooler temperatures sure have been welcomed. I’m glad to be off the roof too. God bless y’all
I’m glad he’s off the roof too!
Thats a great way to repair those logs. Much better than replacing the whole log!! Love to watch your projects. Thanks for sharing!!
307 J.O.A.T Howdy Travis- it’s a bit difficult to replace logs with a half dove tail because it’s locked in. It can be done but it is really tough. In a couple years it will look like the old logs for color. Take care brother. God bless y’all
@@TheBeardedCarpenter i bet it would be a major project!
You are in a league of you're own, Paul.
Preacher's Day Off Howdy Preacher- I ain’t sure what that league is hehe. Thank you for watching. Come see us sometime. Hope you have a great Sunday. God bless y’all
Good morning Mr Paul I hope everyone is doing good your way the people who own this cabin is going have a nice cabin went you get done with it enjoy the video n way you talk about what you are doing have a beautiful bless day be safe. 👍👍
Waterbug68 Howdy- thank you for the kind words and for watching. God bless you
Wow that cabin is quite the undertaking! But I must say your repair techniques are pretty slick 👌
Take care Paul✌️
Open Air Outdoors Howdy Marc- yes, doing these old cabins can be quite challenging. The reward is at the end. Thanks for watching. Take care and God bless you
Beautiful restoration. Our 1886 brick cottage has a small wooden addition. It is covered with a layer of insulbrick covered over with aluminum siding...it’s gonna be interesting to see the original wood underneath.
Howdy Jimmy- restorations can be a lot of work but at the same time they are very interesting and rewarding. Hope you’re project goes well for you. Take care and God bless y’all
This is an art and a skill many would love to have your level of expertise, God bless.
Heather7 LightofChrist Howdy Heather- Thank you so much , you are so kind. May God bless you
Howdy Paul, That repair looks good. It won't take long before it blends in and you'll never know the repair was made. Hope all is well with the family. God Bless y'all
Outdoor Merica Howdy Kevin- Thank you for watching and the kind words. Hope y’all are doing well also. God bless
I always learn something new while watching you work. You’ve given me an idea on how to fix some rotten wood on my house! Thanks Paul!!!!! 👍🏻
Carolina Chris Outdoors Howdy Chris- glad you get something from our videos. Hope it helps. Take care and God bless y’all
That is a good looking fix job. Boy I would like to work with you Paul, I just see so much to learn. God bless. we still have momma at home with us but we’re all making it. I still get to look around a bit sometimes for a piece of ground. It’s just slow go. Keep the lessons coming teacher. I have a dream to fulfill. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸
Stevenbp101 Howdy Steven- Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad you’re getting something from the videos. Hope everything works out well for you and you get to fulfill your dream. God bless you and your family
Love this cabin simply beautiful.

Lance Ladewig Howdy Lance- Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it. God bless you
My back hurts watching you. I love every video you make. Thank you so much!
Robert Lietz Howdy Robert- Thank you so much for watching. Yeah, my old back gets to talking to me lol. God bless you
I like that idea. A nice fix!
Northern Woodsman Howdy buddy- thank you for coming by and watching. Yeah, it seems to work for me. Take care up there and God bless you
Thank you for sharing this very interesting and informative article with me ! I love watching and learning ways of doing things ! The main part of my house was built in 1890 ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .
STEVE Clark Howdy Steve- I sure appreciate you coming by and watching the video. It would be nice if these older homes could tell the stories of what took place in them. Hope you have a great day. God bless you
you will have that cabin looking good...what were the jugger marks you showed us? Its great you are showing us how you go about it...not many people can do the work
Rough Cut Homestead Howdy Mr.Duke- the juggles is the part of the log that was split off. A v notch would be chopped in every so often down the log and the wood in between, the juggle, was split off with an axe. Then , using the same axe, they would score the log to sever the fibers of the wood to make it easier to finish up using a broad axe. Hope you’re doing well, brother. God bless y’all
@@TheBeardedCarpenter I see, Thanks Bro. Paul
I’ve been enjoying you channel all week. You’re a great teacher and have a way of showing tricks of the trade is a way I can learn from. If I wasn’t so far away I’d lend a hand. I look forward to your future videos! God bless!
Jesse Martus Howdy Jesse- Thank you for watching our videos. I appreciate it very much. Glad you’re getting something from them. God bless you
Well,sir,you've done it up right. Kinda like theChism house.Amazing ingenuity!👍
A Porter Howdy Brother Art- I did some similar things on the Chism house. Thank you for watching. Hope y’all are doing well. God bless you
Repairs look really good!!
Howdy- thank you so much for the kind words. God bless you
Great job Bearded. God bless you and your family!
Curtis Myers Howdy Curtis- Thank you so much for the kind words. And may God bless you and your family
Looks great! I had to patch a log like that on my cabin when I rebuilt it. Been working on an old bat wing log barn for some people here, had termite damage so bad I had to hew some new logs and change them out
Fluty Lick Homestead Howdy Jared- if you did it then it’s gotta work. I had to replace quite a few logs on the Chism house when I restored it but it was completely disassembled so it was much easier. Hope the barn project goes well for you. It would be enjoyable to work with you on a log project. Have a great week brother. God bless y’all
@@TheBeardedCarpenter yessir we’d have a big time, it is going good so far, I’d like to have had picked your brain on this old barn! Couldn’t get it back level as I wanted. Some places had sunk but jacked it up some but only could do so much. I fixed my log on the ground when I had my cabin apart so it was easier.
Awesome see you on the next one thanks for sharing take care stay safe god bless
Donald Trabeaux Howdy Donald- I appreciate you coming by and watching. Take care and God bless you
great work as always, god bless you
Santos Howdy Santos- Thank you very much- I appreciate the kind words. God bless you
That's good work. Hope your repairs and the old cabin last a long long time.
Larry Reese Howdy Larry- well, it’s one way I’ve used to repair the logs and keep as much of the original as possible. Thanks for watching. God bless you
Enjoying the show
Kevin Williams Howdy Kevin-! I appreciate you watching the video. Take care and God bless you
Excellent work brother..
I have a adz like that..i need to research how to sharpen it.
What are the jugger marks for?
God bless you and yours brother
Maccabeus -Off Grid and Everyday Survival Howdy Brother- the juggle marks is where the person hewing would chop into the log every so often and split off the wood in between them to make for less wood to take off with a broad axe. I need to do a sharpening video soon. Hope you’re doing well. God bless you
Skilled at what you do. Great job. Subbed to the channel
Fishing Made Easy Howdy- thank you so much for watching and subscribing to our channel. God bless you
Hi Paul, hope you are doing well.
I had a question about the size of gap you leave above the windows and doors for shrinkage.
And how big is the cabin you are building again?
I know you mentioned it in videos but I can't seem to find it.
All the best,
Matthew
P.S I'm working on the foundation for my cabin now, you have been a lot of help.
mm h Howdy- the new cabin is 12’x16’. Over the door I give an extra 3 1/2” above the jamb frame for settling. Over a window I’ll give an extra 3” above the window jamb. Hope this helps you. Keep me posted on how your build is going. God bless you
Very interesting. I would love to know how to replace a log that's fully rotted out. It's quite a puzzle for me.
Howdy y’all- bad logs can be replaced but it can be a pretty good chore. It’s pretty involved, more than what I can explain here. You can email me at thebeardedcarpenter8@gmail.com. God bless
You have a wealth of knowledge thank you for sharing it, trying to soak up as much as possible. I'm going to start on my log house beginning of next year. Going to start with a outbuilding first.
C P Howdy CP- I do wish you the very best with your cabin build. If I can be of any help just let me know. Keep us posted on how you are doing with it. Take care and God bless you
Excellent job mister! Is there not a preventative treatment to keep termites away? Thank you and keep on rocking steady.
Howdy Gerald- before this old cabin was moved to it’s present location it was sitting on the ground and the termites had a feast. Keeping the logs high enough off the ground is a good preventative. Take care and God bless
@@TheBeardedCarpenter Thank you! 👍
? If there was hermit damage with the log that high up off the ground ,,,,would it be good to spray some kinda hermit killer in,the under side of the logs and rock foundation to deter the termite from getting on the logs. ?
Howdy Dennis- yes, it would. This cabin had been moved from the original location and set up on some distant relatives of the persons who had built it. From what I was told it was just about sitting on the ground. The termite damage happened well before it was moved. Thank you so much for watching the video and for the comment. God bless
I have some pine logs that have fallen over last winter. I recently acquired the property. Would they be worth trying to save or do you think the bugs have probably done a number on them already?
Larry Reese Howdy Larry- you could check them to see if they are ok. If they have wood borers in them you can sometimes hear a ticking sound they make when they are chomping away. They could probably still be sawed into lumber but I wouldn’t use them for wall logs. Hope you can salvage them. God bless you
@@TheBeardedCarpenter thanks.
What species of wood are the repair pieces you put on?
Howdy Noah- the repair was done with oak same as the cabin. Thank you for watching. God bless
I have a question. I want a ~30x30 cabin but only have the capability to saw logs to 16 feet and honestly around here straight logs larger than that are rare with the exception of oak and the rare yellow popular and oak is out of my budget. Could I make each side have a post at the middle of the wall and just mortoise and tennon them in? I don’t like the idea of joining logs end to end it seems very weak to me unless you know anything about it. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Also, how do these homes pass code? Around here the r value for a mass wall is like 17 and that ain’t happening with logs. I was gonna cover mine up with wood fiber insulation and plaster on top, but that isn’t cheap and I heat with wood anyways.
Matthew Niedbala Howdy Matthew- I do join logs end to end with a mortice and tenon joint with pegs and they don’t come apart. I am going to do a video of that when I get a chance. I don’t know where you live so I can’t tell about the codes there. We have never had trouble with codes where I’m at. A properly built log building is incredibly strong. To comment on the R- value, the logs will absorb heat in the winter and reflect it back into the room. Same with the ac. Our log house is easy to heat and cool. If you have any questions you can email me Thebeardedcarpenter8@gmail. com God bless you
Bearded carpenter, I think I know what you’re doing. Is this the same thing you did on the Chism house? ❤️
Jeannie Glidewell Heil Howdy Sis- it’s similar to what l did. On the Chism house I was able to do the repair before I set the logs on the wall. Hope y’all are doing well. God bless
Termite is so dangerous
G V Balajee Howdy- yes, they are very destructive and most of the time when you discover them they have already done a lot of damage. Thank you for watching. God bless you
We lucky living in this country as because we have no Termite, my children wouldn't know what termite is. But when I live in asia..termite is huge problem there..it really bring destruction to your house if you just leave them to do their things lol
Sarinh Thach Howdy Ma’am- where we live they can be a problem if they aren’t dealt with. I sure appreciate you watching the video. God bless you
Hmm! Well, you did good work. I too would have done the same artistry the same way, but I still feel uneasy about this kind of patch work. Reminds me of the passion teenagers had for a cool car back in the day where sheet metal and a little bondo worked wonders on a car's body. Love all of God's creatures, but as Mother Nature allows survival of the fittest .... termites I don't mind killing. Those little bastards make for a difficult and expensive job. Law of the jungle.
J F Howdy JF- sometimes you have to do what the money allows. I feel confident about the new faces, they are under the porch roof and protected. I understand your concerns but replacing the logs would have been a major ordeal and I’m on a budget. Thank you so much for watching our videos- I appreciate it. Take care and God bless you
You hid the repairs very well. No one should know that they were repaired.
Richard Bohling Sr Howdy Richard- Thank you so much. Hopefully, when they weather out they won’t be noticed. God bless you
