- Turn the down the lights, put your headphones on, and come on a journey with me.
We actually start building!!!
In this video, we mill the foundation beams and after 2 years are harvesting our logs we actually screw the first two pieces of wood together.
This is a temporary foundation for the building process. The cabin will be unassembled and relocated on a permanent foundation down the road.
This cabin will be built using 100% self harvest lumber for a private woodlot.
This video is sponsored by Granberg International, the makers of the Alaskan Mill chainsaw mill. They have an incredible assortment of tools designed to turn your logs into lumber, beams, or live edge tabletops.

This video is part of my cabin build series. That playlist is here.

Freehanding to the laser level line? Respect!
The fox plays in your creation. Your creation plays in our imagination. And you dance a delight-full floorboard jig. Marvelous!
Glad you enjoyed. I’ll now go to sleep happy and dream up the next video.
exploring life 🧐💕. Wow you could be a writer 🧐
Trustin Timber 💕🧐✝️. You was smart to wait , for it to turn dark to use your LAZER beam , I think 🤔 they said winter ❄️ is the best to build a cabin ,because you have to strip off the bark , before putting it on the House 🏠 could you tell us in every video that you do , what ingredients your using also , because I really , really want to learn everything I can , and thanks for everything your doing to show us how to build. Sir can you please see. Primitive survival/ primitive living. To learn how to build a underground house 🏠. It might help if we go to war , I discovered there channels. You can use extra room also 🤗. Just a idea 💡 can’t wait for your next video. I’ll tell everyone every day 🧐. I want to live in the forest like this and grow very big crops 🧐. Go hunting , fishing 🎣. Sir don’t you have to burn each side of the log , because I saw in a video they was doing that 🧐
Rhonda Clark this comment definitely made me smile. I’m so happy you really, really want to learn everything you can. That’s great and you can learn it all. If the ingredients you want are the bread I cooked in the pan at the beginning I have a video called “survival bread / bannock” I posted recently where I teach how to make it. As for burning the boards, you probably saw someone doing Shou Sugi Ban which is a Japanese technic traditionally used on cedar boards. I thought about it on my boards but I like the natural bright colours and the natural aging and yellowing that will occur over time. Maybe I’ll try it in the future. What country are you from?
That's the coolest thing ever, laying down and taking a snooze on the logs that you just milled. 💪.
Amazing build.
Glad you like it! I take a lot of Siestas out here. Days get to hot and sun is to bright for photography so I wake up early and stay up late and sleep during the day.
Your videos are always filled with a wealth of things to compliment. Sometimes the art speaks for itself. Well done. Again and again.
Thank you so much.
Awesome filming. Even though you've just started construction on the cabin it must give you a real sense of satisfaction. looking forward to the next video.
Thanks Doug, Yeah, it's pretty awesome walking through the forest now arriving at the building site and actually seeing the platform in place.
Amazing!!! Great that I find your channel. I’m a fan of Mr Shawn James and your way to built up a cabin is different and at the same time you give us the same feelings when we look these vids. Your filming skills and the mood it’s coming up are absolutely great. Go on!!!! Thanks for sharing this!!! Greetings from Germany!!!
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much. Hope you enjoy.
@@TrustinTimber @TrustinTiber
Oh man. What an amazing video. Love the style and I am loving the cabin so far. Can't wait to watch the build please try and upload as much as possible !!
haha, Thanks so much. I'll do my best to keep them coming.
Cool your vision is taking shape...
Dude , one of the best all-around videos I’ve experienced on TH-cam.
Mulheres
Thank You
Thanks my friend!
Congratulations from Brazil!
Thank you.
nice combination: old technics meet new technology, bushcraft, cooking. many thanx, i enjoyed your video a lot!!
Got to work with what you got. Glad you enjoyed.
Looks amazing, great job on the film. Really like the laser when cutting the stumps and the day dream. Looking forward to number 5
Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed and are pumped for the next one.
Dynamite with a laser beam!
Thanks
"Guaranteed, to blow your mind..... anytime!"
Your videos are great! You are doing a great job, I love it! I look forward to the next episode soon! greetings from Argentina and thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! Nice to hear from Argentina,
Amazing film Trustin Timber. One of your dreams is becoming reality. Your videography is outstanding - so too are your ideas. I thought the play on laser light was spectacular. Looking forward to the next episode. Thank you. Regards, Jeff. 👍😀🏠
Thank you, yeah, dreams take time but you got to keep dreaming them into existence. Glad you enjoyed the light show. See you back here soon.
@@TrustinTimber - I just found your channel. Love what you’re doing. Getting ready to build on my 40 acres within the year. What laser are you using to level everything out? Thanks again.
I respect a guy who can stop and take a nap in the middle of a video like this.
Accidents happen when you get tired, and one needs time to dream:)
That 1st min of the video was 🔥🔥. Awesome!!
Parabéns ficou top a fundação..o Brazil está te vendo.
Olá brasil
Work of art! The timber, the video, the story. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing dude!
Glad you have been enjoying:)
Well that’s an interesting method of milling boards!
takes longer but makes the most use of the log.
Great work, always creative and resourceful, building the life you want to live. Outstanding.
That's it man. Building the life you want to live is the most important thing you'll ever build in your life.
I really like the light "scratching"- effects on the stumps, when you sawed them on level - thaaaaat was great!
You are obviously a kinda pancake- fan - in any shape and sort! Cool stuff you're coolking.
You do fine work. Going to be a special place.
Thank you. I think so as well.
Love your videos man , there like pieces of art can’t wait for the next episode 🤟🏻
I always wanted to be an artist when I grew up. Thanks for validating me.
That's my kind of night time partying, chainsaw music and laser lights! Great video, looking forward to the next one!
:) thanks
Very rustic. Got me. Havent seen someone that capable in a while👍
Thank you
Love your work! I'm pretty much where you were a year and a half before this video - at the very beginning. Haven't decided exactly what the structure will be yet but the vertical supports with log infill are on the short list. I'm building in Florida so I can't see getting the stump foundation past the building inspector, but I was very interested in your tripod (later video) for raising the center log.
Amazing! I'm looking forward to following your adventure! SUBSCRIBED!
thank you.
Very nice video my friend. And beautiful footage. Can't wait to see more. :)
Good to see you here @DonVonGun Thank you.

Just found your videos. Love your cabin.
Awesome skills and great videos overall. Nice to see the use of old hand tools, as I seen when growing up by grandparents. It does kill the back to the nature vibe a bit, when modern technology kicks in and can't live without the chainsaw. 😁
I'm still going to watch it, it is still very impressive work by one man!
I know, The chainsaws kill the vibe but I have to be honest and show I'm using them. I'm doing my best to turn them down and blend with music.
the way this was filmed reminds me of the way kalshnikov group films their stuff
Ótimo trabalho
Ótimo vídeo
I always love watching your videos
I appreciate that! Glad you like them.
Excelente 👍💪 , seguiré tus videos😀🇨🇱saludos
Great video thanks again
Nice use of the laser level 👍
awesome.God bless.
Hi there bet you feel like a real pioneer. keep the videos coming.
First time seeing this video...amazed to see that this stage was just on the cusp of the pandemic! Wow, amazing work....can't wait to watch how it all turns out!
Welcome aboard!

It's impressive you survive out there watching at how you cook man......
what should I cook instead?
@@TrustinTimber everything that will not likely kill your liver in a decade, that looks challenging to digest :-D
Great outdoor job tho, seriously
Just found you. I like your spirit. I do a livestream Old Time Gospel Music Show each Friday night on my channel, and I always end with "Be kind to each other this week:. The world could use a little more kindness right now. It's good to find a kindred spirit!! I especially love the parts where you just let the sounds of nature and your work sounds be the sound track. That is the best music there is sometimes! OK, I'm back to binge watching so I can catch up to where you are in the build at present. Nicely edited videos by the way.
Great stuff.
Awesome job! You should be proud!
Thank You
Good job man.
good job. this construction will be epic.
Thank you
You will have to set supplemental piers next to the tree stumps you used as long term decay and settlement will eventually win out. Happened to my grand dad many moon's ago....though he wasn't alive to witness.
This is just a temporary building platform.
Very lovely wish it was longer videos
good work dude
Nice intro, then came the meal... Had to get up and head to the fridge. Even the birds of the forest were singing their swan song of "FEED ME". ...nice. Was it your well thought out hard work? The satisfying meals? ..the music? ...ohhh the music. or was it the choreographing and presentation of it all.. Thank you for sharing, got some catching up to do.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great job man working with 2 people is so much easier I’m a one man show myself I miss having my brother in-law help!
Absolutely fantastic!!! Cinematography, sound, content, attention to detail, skill, knowledge... OMG I could go on. What a fantastic find your videos are!!!! Thank you for having the imagination and creativity to create.👍👍
Thanks for all the kind words. It's a slow process caring about all those details but when I look back in 20 years I'll be happy I did and will have forgotten the extra time and effort it took.
Very good.
thank you
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
When your cabin building looks like a starwas scene!!
Awesome brother, so great to see the progress. Love it👊
Thanks Dave. Your bow is there for me every lunch break. The best part of my day is putting the moccasins on and loosing a few arrows.
@@TrustinTimber sounds like a great break time👊
Awesome mostly address sheds that the author has built in the past and high-quality sheds at that. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- He does have tips on specific aspects of the shed construction in each example. I get value out of this book by getting ideas on what features will work for MY sheds that I design myself. It has terrific photos, all are professional in quality. Book is quality coffee-table style--shiny, thick paper and a soft cover that is also high quality. I like it.
Good job man
thanks
Dude, I love it... sign me up. Still waiting for my land, the dream all these years... where is this...
This isn't my land. I just have permission to build it here but once I'm done all the wood elements I'm going to move it to land we hopefully have purchased by then.
Hey thanks for the response... Good luck with everything and stay free in balance... I new to your channel carpenter on my end of many years giving it away to others my whole life... ,peace
👍👍👍👍good stuff,
Good to have a guy with wisdom watching over me. Let me know if I do anything stupid Gib.
Wait...what was that? Canadian breakfast pizza? Looks delicious!
haha, yeah kinda. It started as bannock but it's turning more into pizza every time I make it. Started adding olives now too and sun-dried tomatoes next time. I teach how to make it here. th-cam.com/video/8ntLi8CSpLE/w-d-xo.html
Can't image the feeling of putting in that first screw of the foundation log/post after 1.5 years of preparations. Really awesome build can't wait for the rest.
Yeah, It's a good feeling. Thanks.
Great Start‼️‼️. New Subscriber. Vinny 🇺🇸
Thanks for the sub Vinny!
its becoming a reality!!!
Thanks darling
I can’t wait to watch this through to the end👍
Jeff Mcilroy hope you enjoy.
Wow de aquí mero soy 😍
you know I just found you. I also watch "my self reliance" When the self reliance does food it's like a cooking show, you are more to the point with your cooking. I know a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do. At times this content seems like a big commercial.
Nice vídeo
Are those red pines? Lots of land in michigan full of row planted pines like those. Up until now those slivers of land were not all appealing but you've changed my mind. I've dreamt of building a 'treehouse' since I was a kid. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yeah, I was the same way. Planted trees don't look very appealing the first 25 years but once you start thinning them out leaving the biggest and start letting some mixed forest grow in you can basically design your own forest. It's exciting seeing all the new life start to grow once you make a little space for it.
6:33 that timber grew very fast!
yeah, good competition from the other trees.
The area is beautiful amazing lumber skills you could outwork a Clydsedale. I am concerned though those pillars wont last ?
Мокасины супер 👍
Love ur chanel, and the style u built the cabin 👌
Thank you.
we do the same thing but with shredded bacon then tip melted lard on top
Wow, did u say it took 2 years to make the lumber? Makes me appreciate saw mills that much more
Yeah, and I'm still not done harvesting. It's a slow process, then you got to wait for it to dry.
Nice video thanks for sharing. What saw are you running there?
Great video! What size are the milled floor beams?
one skinny screw in end of grain to hold beams in place is a big no no - use some BIG staples made from rebar...
Keep watching. It all locks into place as we go. It's only a temporary working foundation.
Great video. Inspiring. What's the purpose of charring the logs that are being put into the ground?
If they are charred it reduces rotting. I'm also doing it to take some of the moisture out of the soil as I pack it in.
Wow
The opening laser light show and music is fantastic. The opening skillet bread makes me want it. Is that just flour and water as a base? I'm going to enjoy the entire series.
At some point out in the wild I expect to be heard saying "be kind to people, be kind to the earth."
Oops. Just saw the bannock video link below. Thanks.
I do hope those words ring through the woods or at least the minds. You can learn how to make the bannock bread here. th-cam.com/video/8ntLi8CSpLE/w-d-xo.html
@@TrustinTimber STRING WORK: I thought about this video when I saw you using the string line. When I saw how easily The Essential Craftsman tightened and secured the string line, I was amazed. I think you might like it. ... especially starting at 6:40 but the whole video is good.

I'm movin in, shotgun!
How do you like the 565? I'm looking to buy one soon. Awesome content, and love the videos!
It's amazing.
"I'm going out to the woods to build a primitive cabin....better bring my laser level with me !"...... He he he,,,, JK, great video !
No claims to primitive, just working with the tools I have. 🤷♂️
@@TrustinTimber I was just kidding Brother, enjoyed the video just the same.... good work !

You can't get this on Tv that y this is so good.
How are you going to heat this cabin when you are finish it . Think ? You can heat your cabin with compost get a wood chiper . Yes a wood chiper .Chip all the left
over trees . compost will go up to 140 f . You can get hot air and hot water ( just think ) heat your cabin from the bottom and you will be hot inside all winter .
I do like this idea of a compost. It’s interesting
🇧🇷bom!
😍😍
First time watching your channel. Good stuff with the combining of old tech and new tech. One comment though, I've turned my volume up on TH-cam and my computer yet your voice is like a whisper. Please check your volume settings on the recording equipment. It is easier for us to turn down the volume than it is to turn it up past our top settings. Thanks.
I really appreciate that feedback. Levels all seem good on my end. I wonder if other people are having that problem. I'll look into this. Thanks.
@@TrustinTimber YES, YES WE ARE ! ! !
Do you use your 372xp for milling? I have one and I love it, was considering a Alaskan sawmill.
Yeah, one of mine is the 372xp. The other is a newer 5 series
Wow.. Fine and awesome project.. 👍
.. How long time you think this base trees / stump are good and life..?
I'm not sure, I asked a member of the Timber Frame Guild and he figured 10 years at least. I had a little worry as I had a wood boring beetle in them at first but I seem to have that sorted and they are feeling dry and strong. If they start to fail before I'm ready I could always jack it up and put in blocks but I don't think I'll have to.
Hope you threw gravel or stones in the hole before placing the wood posts. The end of the post is the most critical part to protect from moisture more so than the sides. I would have put asphalt foundation coating on the post prior to setting it.
Asphalt foundation coating sounds like it would have been a good idea.
Okay so I have watched the four first episodes and the last 5-6 episodes (started in the wrong end). Your content is phenomenal. What you are doing is hard work, that is for sure. I am over average big and strong but what you are managing more or less alone impresses me. Have your physique changed in the period you have worked with the log preparation and the cabin building you would say? :-)
Thank you. I've always been pretty active. I can't stand going to the gym, it feels like a waste of time, so I do this kind of stuff knowing it keeps me healthy. I find canoe tripping puts my body in better shape. I drink less beer:)
Thank you. Good luck with the project. Looking forward to follow the progress.
👍👌
I get hungry at 3:00!
You should try it without wearing nuthuggers, you won't believe how much easier it is to work.
haha I know, when I started editing that was what I thought. They don't feel as tight as they look. I'm working man, just putting on the old clothes I'm willing to ruin but I guess since the fashion police are out I better start wearing better stuff.
@@TrustinTimber yeah, they look pretty constricting to me. Gotta have breathin room.
👍👍👍😍😍
Hello, can you say brand of your jacket/ anorak on 18:41 ?
If you add link where did you buy it, it would be perfect.
Best wishes
It's the WeatherWool Anorak. I love it.

Dumb Question , using trees in place and using the stump , how long will it last ? Will it not rot slowly over time ?
Tom from Quebec Canada
When are you going to finish the log cabin ?
Not sure, depends how busy i get with work, this is just a hobby project.
