now THIS is what TH-cam should be. not the clout chasing liars we have today, but this. an honest, hard working and passionate man showing the world what he is about.
I'm in the UK, so a cabin is a far off dream. But i sew my own things, enjoy leatherworking and love using my hands to make and repair like my Dad always did. Self reliance is the best feeling a man, or anyone, can have. I'd be keen to know how to make my own homestead.
Howdy Ma’am- I sure appreciate you watching the video and for the nice comment. Please check out our videos on building a log cabin. There’s lots of information and tips. If there’s anything I can help you with you can email me at thebeardedcarpenter8@gmail.com l wish you the very best with your build. God’s blessings to you
Hi from Al and Denise, my husband was a carpenter for over 40 years. And I was raised in a family of 13 so hard work has always been a way of life...we welcome you all with open arms and wish you the best...! Look forward to your awesome videos of building a cabin. So come back now, you all hear !!? God Bless !
Denise Gaskin Thank you for the encouraging words and the heart felt welcome. Hopefully getting another video uploaded tonight. God’s blessings on y’all
Howdy Rachel- I sure do appreciate you watching and subscribing to our channel. Hope you enjoy watching the videos of log cabin building the way I build. Take care and God’s blessings to you
Howdy Shane- that’s great that you have a lot of timber. I’d say you have enough to build a cabin. I sure appreciate you watching the video. Take care and God’s blessings to you
sinatra lerby Howdy- Thank you for stopping by. Not sure if you have watched all the videos but I am building a cabin right now and we have been making videos as we go along.

Howdy y’all- so glad you found us. I sure wish you the very best with your cabin build. Whereabouts are you located in western Arkansas? You may not be that far away from me. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all
Holy! What a beautiful home! I'm from Newfoundland and many of my family members abandoned the traditional way of life, but my grandparents still live in their self built cabin. More and more I want to go back and live a sensible life. What society is offering today is just mind numbing cancer.
Came over from The Outsider. Looking forward to checking out your videos and seeing the techniques that you use to construct whatever you do. I love log cabins and so admire the art of woodworking in general…😊…Have a great day! 🌞 BTW your Home is beautiful.
Howdy Lady- thank you so very much for coming by to see us. I sure appreciate the Outsider mentioning us on his video. He puts out the most awesome videos. Thank you for the nice comment on our house. Hope you enjoy the videos. God bless you
NEW FRIEND HERE. Thank you for this video. We will be following your journey. We will be building a cabin on our property in the near future. Your small cabin and your home are absolutely beautiful.

Come on up to the Old Time Fiddler's Convention sometime!
@@TheBeardedCarpenter workshops or not, I'm really looking forward to following your videos! Thanks again for taking the time to produce them and share with us!
So excited to start this journey! Just bought a 32 acre homestead and the first project I want to peruse is a log cabin for myself. Eager to challenge my carpenter skills! Much love Mr. Beard ♥️
Howdy Leah- thank you so much for watching the video. There are around 100 instructional videos on building a cabin the way I do. Hope you enjoy watching them. If I can be of any help just let me know. God bless
Howdy Matthew- I appreciate you watching the videos. I love the old ways,also. My wife and I feel we were born a hundred years too late lol. I enjoy watching blacksmiths at work on TH-cam. My great grandfather was a black smith. Take care and God bless you
I'm so excited about this channel I can barely take it. I love how thorough you are with your videos and I love that you're gonna go from start to finish. So many guys with videos show what they are doing but dont explain how or why. Laying out the notches, roof systems and how that all ties together, angles, foundation supports etc. All of it from the bottom to the top, thats what the majority are lacking, they dont explain the technical stuff that separates a real project from a video timelapse that shows the project at different stages. Im really looking forward to all your videos, Im subscribed and I'll watch every single one! Thank you
Camaro 68 Howdy and welcome aboard. I know what you mean about videos cause l have watched many of em. I haven’t found a lot of technical information but I may have just not looked hard enough. I wanted to show how l do things and l realize that my way ain’t the only way- There’s many top notch builders out there. I apologize ya subscribing and watching- hopefully you’ll pick up something that will help ya. God bless y’all
My son and i are going to build our cabin, we want to use as many of the trees on my property as i can. So happy i found your page! We still don't know if we'll leave the logs round or more square
Howdy Jessica- I sure wish you and your son the very best with your cabin build. If I can be of any help just let me know. Thank you so much for watching the video. I have around 100 videos on building a cabin the way I build. Hope you enjoy watching them. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all
Man, I am REALLY looking forward to learning more. I am a firefighter in one of the most dangerous urban areas in the country. I am set to retire in 3 years, and I want to eventually build my own log cabin. I have made a living "slinging an axe," but mostly to tear things up inside (or on top of) a burning building. Getting back to nature and building a log cabin is literally one of my biggest dreams. Thanks for starting this channel.
For a first video, it was a great one. Once you do the videos a couple times it gets easier and quicker (as you have probably found out). Very excited to learn and to see what comes next from y'all!
I enjoy your videos. I am 17 and my father owns a sawmill I wish to build a 2 story 30x50 log home. It will sit in a nice field where you can see nobody. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. They are very educational.
Howdy Wyatt- thank you so much for watching our videos. I wish you the very best when you start your cabin. If I can be of any help just let me know. Take care and God bless
This is wonderfully filmed for your first video. I was immersed in how you made us feel as if we were with you in the woods walking to your home. I’m so glad I clicked your video and I will be following for every step of this journey. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. It’ll spark life in many lives.
Howdy Lilu- thank you so very much for your kind words. I’m glad you found us and I hope you enjoy watching what we do. My wife is the one who does all the editing. We only had cell phones for videos and editing for the first several videos. I don’t know how she was able to do what she did. She is a very exceptional lady. God bless you
Your Dad was a very handsome man, I am sorry about that huge loss in your life. Your BIG house is beautiful, however, I would rather have the little one that you started the video out at. I am looking forward to your showing/teaching me how to build my own log cabin. Maybe before I die, I can have my log cabin, treadle sewing machine and wood cookstove, and the other non-electric things that I would like to have to live the life that I would like to live. Thank you for your time and willingness to teach those of us that do not have the money to pay thousands of dollars to go to another place to learn how to build our dream home.
I’m so grateful to have found your channel. I’m embarking on a log home dream build of my own up in Canada and these videos are a treasure trove. I also love Roy Underhill and his amazing work. Thank you and I look forward to this journey.
Howdy Jesse- glad you found us. I wish you the very best with your cabin build. There’s another fella in Canada who is following our videos for his cabin build- Denis Losier Outdoors. The Roy Underhill videos are now on TH-cam. Take care and God bless you
Thank you for this, I believe that i will enjoy this series. Even though we are close to the same age you remind me of my dad. Soft spoken and very knowledgeable. But when he spoke you listened. I pry the you dad rests in peace. We lost my dad in 2017 at 94 years
Howdy Eric- hope you enjoy watching the videos. People tell me I sound more and more like my Dad. He was a great man. Sorry about your Dad, they will be in our hearts forever. Take care and God bless you
Im a 26year old father of 2 boys. I have the land and kept saying ill build something when i have the money but it seems money isnt all required if you are willing to put the work in. I want to build something my boys can be proud of and i cant wait to get started.
Howdy Nick- thank you so much for watching our very first video. You can get the information you need to build your own log cabin from watching the videos. There is much information and tips on log building the way I build. I have been contacted by a good many people who have and are building their own cabins by watching our videos. One of the most interesting is a gentleman in Sweden who has never built very much but has done a fantastic job on his cabin. Check out his channel Live Free Or Die Trying. Michael is an amazing fellow. I certainly admire your enthusiasm for building your family a log cabin. If I can be of any help just let me know. You can email me at thebeardedcarpenter8@gmail.com and I’ll do my best to answer any questions you might have. I wish you the very best with your cabin project. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all
Howdy y’all- I sure do wish y’all the very best. Depending on where in eastern Oklahoma you may not be all that far from me. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all
Thank you for making these videos. I want to let you know that you are inspiring a lot of young folk, including myself, to make their dreams reality. My reasoning for wanting to build a log cabin is so I learn to be self sufficient. As the years come, people become more reliant on technology and society to provide for their every need, but lately I've been feeling the need to do things myself. Not only that, but I also want to reconnect with nature and experience the same feeling as the pioneers when they first came to this country. I know I can build this cabin with the support of wise people like you, huge confidence booster. Your life's knowledge will not go wasted, we will carry it on for you!
Tahmid Bhuiyan Howdy Tahmid- Thank you so much for watching our video and the wonderful comments you made. People like you are very encouraging to us and we certainly do appreciate it. I do wish you the very best with your cabin build and if I can help you in any way please feel free to send me an email. Thebeardedcarpenter8@gmail.com May God bless you with your efforts
Howdy Lana- thank you so much. My Mother-in-law and my wife’s Grandmother made the quilts. Hopefully,someday you’ll be able to display your quilts in your own cabin. God bless you
Thank you for pouring your heart out and letting others into your mind. I'm honored to learn from a man such as yourself. May your Father and mine rest in Heaven and may God bless them.
Howdy y’all- it’s been my dream to share what I’ve learned and doing the channel has been great for a format to do that. Thank you so much for the nice comment. If we were able to learn from our Dads we are fortunate. God bless you
Mr. Paul. I just found your channel and subscribed. I live over here in Mountain Home, Arkansas. Howdy Neighbor! My life long dream is to build just the Log cabin you are describing. Look forward to watching and Learning all that I can. Thank You for your time. God's Speed.
Byron Gatlin Howdy Byron- glad ya stopped by and for subscribing. Been up in your neck of the woods but it’s been a while. Love that area of the state. You can email me at The Bearded Carpenter 8” gmail. com. Would love to meet ya. God bless y’all
Have had the itch to build a log cabin for a couple years now but realized a lot of work, thought and experience are the main factors in getting something you're gonna like looking at. Can't wait to watch all the wonderful videos you have and learn as much as i can.
Howdy y’all- I’m glad you found our channel. We have over 100 videos on log buildings from laying out the cabin to trimming out everything. Hope you enjoy watching them and if you have any questions just let me know and I’ll try to answer them for you. I sure wish you the very best with your own log cabin build. God’s blessings to y’all
In 1981 my wife and I built a log home from a kit we bought in Oklahoma and had shipped to South Texas. Not thinking we selected the kit with round logs inside and out double tongue and groove. Everything went great until we started building partension walls inside I had to use chalk line a make 2 lines and chisel out a groove for sheet rock to fit in . If we had ordered what is called three sided logs our logs would have been flat inside and would have saved weeks off our work, made it easier to clean and dust. We sold that house in 1993 and made a great profit. But my wife said next time flat logs. Good luck
Many thanks to you Daryl Bunji for the great big favor of sharing us on Reddit!!! The views and subscribers went way up yesterday. We were very thankful. God bless you great big!!!
You are more than welcome, thank you for taking the time and effort to put the videos together . I wish you all the best for the channel, this is the type of content the world needs much more of at the moment .All the best to you and your family for now and the future.
Wyoming here. Looking to relocate to South Carolina. Have been very interested in building my own cabin for many years. I shall join you on this journey.
Randy Jr Howdy Randy- Thank you so much for watching our video. Please check out the other videos- I’m building a new cabin now and also doing some restoration on an old 170 year old cabin. Hope you can get some information that will be of help to you. God bless you
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I can't explain how grateful I am to have come across this channel as i'm beginning to save money in order to purchase a few acres and get started on my cabin. You sir are one of the few gems left in this world.
Brian Sanchez Howdy Brian- welcome aboard. I don’t know how many of the videos you’ve watched but I am building a cabin right now and we have videos of it through round seven showing how to do layouts for notches and cutting the logs and setting them on the walls as well as fitting them. Come along with us. God bless you
👋 from Texas, new subscriber from Bobblehead Homestead & Dutch Cabin’s channel. I plan on binge watching your videos can’t wait to catch up with y’all real soon. This looks like a great time
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge I just graduated high school and i realized you will learn twice as much knowledge from people than any school or college
VCR 12 Howdy- thank you for watching the videos. I never went to college but I feel I had the best teacher anyone could ever have, and that was my Dad. He was old school but he really knew his stuff. Glad you’ve figured that out. God bless you
God bless you sir for honoring your dad he is looking down from heaven and is so proud of the man you have become glad that I am a subscriber and look forward to many more of you videos.
Howdy Native Son- thank you so much for the kind words. And thank you for subscribing to our changes. I was fortunate to get to work with my Dad for about 25 years. He was a real master carpenter. God bless
Howdy- thank you so much for coming over and watching the video. I have always worked with my hands. I’m not a black smith but I admire what they do. God bless you
North Dakota checking in, I'm here with ya buddy excited to see how this plays out! Thank you for being so humble and thorough with your first video I'm excited to see what your next ones bring!
I just found you and subscribed! I am SO sending this link to our son, a Marine, who will be getting out of the military soon and starting his civilian life - he loves to work with wood/build - so is hoping to build himself a place here on our 20 acre property so he can get his feet under him! Looking forward to watching more videos!
Pomona Ponderosa Howdy- glad you found us. And a bit “thank you “ to your son for serving in the military. Have logs coming for a cabin build- have had a lot of rain here and is slowing us down a bit. God bless y’all
Howdy JM- I’m glad you found us. We have about 100 videos of log building where I share in depth detail on how to build. Hope you enjoy watching them. God bless and Merry Christmas
Howdy Peter- thank you so much for watching the video. I’m sure you have lots of memories of your Grandfather. I definitely have memories of mine and he’s been gone a long time. God bless you
Remy, Lily and their Mommy Howdy y’all- thank you so much for coming over. I really appreciate Jeff- great guy! My hope is that your dream becomes reality for you. Pursue your dreams. Hopefully our videos will help. God bless ya’ll
I came to your channel the evening Jeff posted his visit to you. Although I'm a 69 year old female, I can still dream of a small homestead to live out my life on. Thank you for your series.
Hi Paul, this is a lovely video, I really appreciate your message, it really resonates with me. I have a different background and trade, and I'm much shorter in the tooth (one month shy of 27) but like you I am the second generation of my profession. I am a software developer in the UK, and although I never got the chance to work directly with him, I learned a lot from my late father about our craft. He passed away unexpectedly about a year and a half ago and I miss him a lot. He had a way with people, he'd always try to share the things he learned with those around him, and he instilled in me an appreciation for quality, for doing things right the first time like you say. I always assumed we'd have more time. Like him and yourself, I also enjoy sharing the things I've learned. I've not had many opportunities to do so, but this video has helped me reflect and consider Hey, you know what, why don't I make my own opportunities? I look forward to watching the rest of your videos, you've earned a subscription from me, and you've also inspired me to share the things I've learned. I'm not sure how it'll come out, but it will. Thanks again, stay safe.
Howdy- thank you so much for subscribing to our channel. I’m sorry to hear about your Dad. I understand what it is to miss someone deeply. I want to encourage you to pursue your dreams and share what you have learned with the world. I hope to hear from you again. And I hope you enjoy the videos. God bless you
Curtis Myers Howdy Curtis- thanks for watching and commenting. Don’t know how many of our videos you have seen yet, but I wanted to let you know that I have started the cabin build. Hope you can get the information you need for a cabin build of your own. God bless y’all
Hi Paul, I’m a new subscriber and glad I came across your channel. I’m too old to build a log cabin but can dream of what it must be like to experience the joys of what you describe on the porch of that beautiful little cabin. I enjoy watching you work and want to thank you for sharing your instructional videos.
Howdy Mark- l sure appreciate you watching the video and subscribing to our channel. There may be some information in the videos that will help you. Enjoy the ride. Thank you so much. God’s blessings to you
My goodness are we ever going to be watching this channel. We just bought a 62 acre island and this is all new to us. We just subscribed and look forward to more. Great job!
@@lynwood5991 our land is in the Canadian wilderness in Northern British Columbia. The island is packed with trees varying fir (balsam etc.), pine, spruce, cottonwood and others. It is packed shoulder to shoulder with trees. The island is completely uninhabited and we have just spent time building a tiny cabin etc. It is like heaven on earth, but this process is all new to us and the adventure of a lifetime. We love it more than we could have imagined!! We invite you to join us on our journey :)
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for watching the video and subscribing to our channel. I hope I can share something that with help you with your projects. God bless you
Im so glad I found your channel Sir! I heard you mentioned on the outsider channel and have already subscribed. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge .

The Bearded Carpenter He is a good guy. If you have any TH-cam questions shoot me an email. We’ve been doing it for a while now and have learned a few things.
Living Traditions Homestead Wow-thank y’all so much! We probably will take you up on your offer. Is Hillbilly ‘s channel “Hillbilly “ or are there more words?
Living Traditions Homestead Omigosh- that’s Terry! He is an encyclopedia of knowledge, one of the most intellectual men I have ever met. He is in the first video my wife made- big man standing with my granddaughter. A very fine man indeed!
now THIS is what TH-cam should be. not the clout chasing liars we have today, but this. an honest, hard working and passionate man showing the world what he is about.
TH-cam can care less about truthful videos, just selling ad’s. So much fake videos on TH-cam
@@edl246 it’s sad
This the only part of TH-cam I pay attention to.
Thank you for the compliment about my dad. The little cabin is 264ft. Our house is 1280. Hope I can help you with your dream.
"You best be a good stick-shaker"
that is a great stick. fantastic quality. perfect thickness. bet the tensile strength is off the charts
Of all the places, here ? Good taste in videos my guy.
I'm in the UK, so a cabin is a far off dream. But i sew my own things, enjoy leatherworking and love using my hands to make and repair like my Dad always did. Self reliance is the best feeling a man, or anyone, can have. I'd be keen to know how to make my own homestead.

I am set to retire in 3 years, and I want to eventually build my own log cabin. I have made a living "slinging an axe," but mostly to tear things up inside (or on top of) a burning building. Getting back to nature and building a log cabin is literally one of my biggest dreams. Thanks for starting this channel.
For a first video, it was a great one. Once you do the videos a couple times it gets easier and quicker (as you have probably found out). Very excited to learn and to see what comes next from y'all!
I enjoy your videos. I am 17 and my father owns a sawmill I wish to build a 2 story 30x50 log home. It will sit in a nice field where you can see nobody. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. They are very educational.
Howdy Wyatt- thank you so much for watching our videos. I wish you the very best when you start your cabin. If I can be of any help just let me know. Take care and God bless
This is wonderfully filmed for your first video. I was immersed in how you made us feel as if we were with you in the woods walking to your home. I’m so glad I clicked your video and I will be following for every step of this journey. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. It’ll spark life in many lives.
Howdy Lilu- thank you so very much for your kind words. I’m glad you found us and I hope you enjoy watching what we do. My wife is the one who does all the editing. We only had cell phones for videos and editing for the first several videos. I don’t know how she was able to do what she did. She is a very exceptional lady. God bless you
@@TheBeardedCarpenter God Bless ❤️
Your Dad was a very handsome man, I am sorry about that huge loss in your life. Your BIG house is beautiful, however, I would rather have the little one that you started the video out at. I am looking forward to your showing/teaching me how to build my own log cabin. Maybe before I die, I can have my log cabin, treadle sewing machine and wood cookstove, and the other non-electric things that I would like to have to live the life that I would like to live. Thank you for your time and willingness to teach those of us that do not have the money to pay thousands of dollars to go to another place to learn how to build our dream home.
Just wanted to say I am here from the beginning. Looking forward to the series.
I’m so grateful to have found your channel. I’m embarking on a log home dream build of my own up in Canada and these videos are a treasure trove. I also love Roy Underhill and his amazing work. Thank you and I look forward to this journey.
Howdy Jesse- glad you found us. I wish you the very best with your cabin build. There’s another fella in Canada who is following our videos for his cabin build- Denis Losier Outdoors. The Roy Underhill videos are now on TH-cam. Take care and God bless you
Thank you for this, I believe that i will enjoy this series. Even though we are close to the same age you remind me of my dad. Soft spoken and very knowledgeable. But when he spoke you listened. I pry the you dad rests in peace. We lost my dad in 2017 at 94 years
Howdy Eric- hope you enjoy watching the videos. People tell me I sound more and more like my Dad. He was a great man. Sorry about your Dad, they will be in our hearts forever. Take care and God bless you
Im a 26year old father of 2 boys. I have the land and kept saying ill build something when i have the money but it seems money isnt all required if you are willing to put the work in. I want to build something my boys can be proud of and i cant wait to get started.
Howdy Nick- thank you so much for watching our very first video. You can get the information you need to build your own log cabin from watching the videos. There is much information and tips on log building the way I build. I have been contacted by a good many people who have and are building their own cabins by watching our videos. One of the most interesting is a gentleman in Sweden who has never built very much but has done a fantastic job on his cabin. Check out his channel Live Free Or Die Trying. Michael is an amazing fellow. I certainly admire your enthusiasm for building your family a log cabin. If I can be of any help just let me know. You can email me at thebeardedcarpenter8@gmail.com and I’ll do my best to answer any questions you might have. I wish you the very best with your cabin project. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all
The wife and I are starting our adventure. Looking for land right now in eastern Oklahoma. Quite a daunting process. Thanks
Howdy y’all- I sure do wish y’all the very best. Depending on where in eastern Oklahoma you may not be all that far from me. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all
AH!!!!!! This is what I've been looking for!!! I"M DOING THIS!!!!!
Awesome first video!
Thank you for making these videos. I want to let you know that you are inspiring a lot of young folk, including myself, to make their dreams reality. My reasoning for wanting to build a log cabin is so I learn to be self sufficient. As the years come, people become more reliant on technology and society to provide for their every need, but lately I've been feeling the need to do things myself. Not only that, but I also want to reconnect with nature and experience the same feeling as the pioneers when they first came to this country. I know I can build this cabin with the support of wise people like you, huge confidence booster.
Your life's knowledge will not go wasted, we will carry it on for you!
Tahmid Bhuiyan Howdy Tahmid- Thank you so much for watching our video and the wonderful comments you made. People like you are very encouraging to us and we certainly do appreciate it. I do wish you the very best with your cabin build and if I can help you in any way please feel free to send me an email. Thebeardedcarpenter8@gmail.com May God bless you with your efforts
Great, looking forward to #2.
I love the cabins and the quilts! I'm a quilter and can envision my quilts in our own log cabin
Howdy Lana- thank you so much. My Mother-in-law and my wife’s Grandmother made the quilts. Hopefully,someday you’ll be able to display your quilts in your own cabin. God bless you
Thank you for pouring your heart out and letting others into your mind. I'm honored to learn from a man such as yourself. May your Father and mine rest in Heaven and may God bless them.
Howdy y’all- it’s been my dream to share what I’ve learned and doing the channel has been great for a format to do that. Thank you so much for the nice comment. If we were able to learn from our Dads we are fortunate. God bless you
Mr. Paul. I just found your channel and subscribed. I live over here in Mountain Home, Arkansas. Howdy Neighbor! My life long dream is to build just the Log cabin you are describing. Look forward to watching and Learning all that I can. Thank You for your time. God's Speed.
Byron Gatlin Howdy Byron- glad ya stopped by and for subscribing. Been up in your neck of the woods but it’s been a while. Love that area of the state. You can email me at The Bearded Carpenter 8” gmail. com. Would love to meet ya. God bless y’all
Love all the videos, especially the one moving the smokehouse!
What you're doing in these videos is so important for us, younger generations ! Thank you !
Have had the itch to build a log cabin for a couple years now but realized a lot of work, thought and experience are the main factors in getting something you're gonna like looking at. Can't wait to watch all the wonderful videos you have and learn as much as i can.
Howdy y’all- I’m glad you found our channel. We have over 100 videos on log buildings from laying out the cabin to trimming out everything. Hope you enjoy watching them and if you have any questions just let me know and I’ll try to answer them for you. I sure wish you the very best with your own log cabin build. God’s blessings to y’all
In 1981 my wife and I built a log home from a kit we bought in Oklahoma and had shipped to South Texas. Not thinking we selected the kit with round logs inside and out double tongue and groove. Everything went great until we started building partension walls inside I had to use chalk line a make 2 lines and chisel out a groove for sheet rock to fit in . If we had ordered what is called three sided logs our logs would have been flat inside and would have saved weeks off our work, made it easier to clean and dust. We sold that house in 1993 and made a great profit. But my wife said next time flat logs. Good luck
@1tojo thank you sir
It’s a beautiful cabin. It’s got atmosphere and warmth. I love it.
Luke Andrews Thank you- I enjoy spending time there when the weather was cooler. My cookin even tastes better there. God bless
Looking forward to the videos. Thanks reddit. Anything to do with woodwork is my jam.
North Carolina checking in, I'll walk a while with you friend.

What a great guy! I look forward to

Randy Jr Howdy Randy- Thank you so much for watching our video. Please check out the other videos- I’m building a new cabin now and also doing some restoration on an old 170 year old cabin. Hope you can get some information that will be of help to you. God bless you
Loved the walk with you and I can't wait for more
Videos.
Thanks- got more videos about ready to go
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I can't explain how grateful I am to have come across this channel as i'm beginning to save money in order to purchase a few acres and get started on my cabin. You sir are one of the few gems left in this world.
Brian Sanchez Howdy Brian- welcome aboard. I don’t know how many of the videos you’ve watched but I am building a cabin right now and we have videos of it through round seven showing how to do layouts for notches and cutting the logs and setting them on the walls as well as fitting them. Come along with us. God bless you
@@TheBeardedCarpenter I will most definitely check them all out, thank you sir. God bless you as well.
Great video, looking forward to watching!!!
👋 from Texas, new subscriber from Bobblehead Homestead & Dutch Cabin’s channel. I plan on binge watching your videos can’t wait to catch up with y’all real soon. This looks like a great time
Sharon Robledo Howdy and welcome aboard. Thank you so much for subscribing and commenting. God bless you
What a great video! I can’t wait for more!!
Merci Glidewell he needs to help me build my dream cabin in Arkansas
This sounds fascinating! I'll be along for the ride!
Also, very nice tribute at the end. Your father sounds like a wise man.
I am so glad for seeing this post on reddit! You really inspire me and I am thrilled for the next videos. Thank you
Reddit brought me here too. So many truly “valuable” TH-cam channels but far too many “fluff” ones.
Reddit brought me in as well. Very grateful for reddit bringing these gems out in the open, I would have never found this organically.
God blessing you! thanks !!!
Howdy Leo- and God’s blessings to you also
Love this, keep them comming!
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge I just graduated high school and i realized you will learn twice as much knowledge from people than any school or college
VCR 12 Howdy- thank you for watching the videos. I never went to college but I feel I had the best teacher anyone could ever have, and that was my Dad. He was old school but he really knew his stuff. Glad you’ve figured that out. God bless you
God bless you sir for honoring your dad he is looking down from heaven and is so proud of the man you have become glad that I am a subscriber and look forward to many more of you videos.
Howdy Native Son- thank you so much for the kind words. And thank you for subscribing to our changes. I was fortunate to get to work with my Dad for about 25 years. He was a real master carpenter. God bless
Yet another viewer of the outsider, I have a blacksmithing and blade-smithing channel so I enjoy watching people build things by hand
Howdy- thank you so much for coming over and watching the video. I have always worked with my hands. I’m not a black smith but I admire what they do. God bless you
Beautiful home. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
What a lovely little cabin.
John Grytbakk Howdy John- Thank you so much. God bless you

Although my cabin is built, I am so happy you are passing your knowledge. Very helpful!
Howdy Larry- I sure appreciate you watching the videos. Passing the knowledge along is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. God bless
I just found you and subscribed! I am SO sending this link to our son, a Marine, who will be getting out of the military soon and starting his civilian life - he loves to work with wood/build - so is hoping to build himself a place here on our 20 acre property so he can get his feet under him! Looking forward to watching more videos!
Pomona Ponderosa Howdy- glad you found us. And a bit “thank you “ to your son for serving in the military. Have logs coming for a cabin build- have had a lot of rain here and is slowing us down a bit. God bless y’all
Im glad I found you on TH-cam.
Howdy JM- I’m glad you found us. We have about 100 videos of log building where I share in depth detail on how to build. Hope you enjoy watching them. God bless and Merry Christmas
Just came across this. U remind me of my own grandfather I was close to. Love this ❤🙂
Howdy Peter- thank you so much for watching the video. I’m sure you have lots of memories of your Grandfather. I definitely have memories of mine and he’s been gone a long time. God bless you
I am coming over from Bobblehead Homestead. My dream is to live in a log tiny cabin one day. My Grandpa was a carpenter.. You have a beautiful home.
Remy, Lily and their Mommy Howdy y’all- thank you so much for coming over. I really appreciate Jeff- great guy! My hope is that your dream becomes reality for you. Pursue your dreams. Hopefully our videos will help. God bless ya’ll
I came to your channel the evening Jeff posted his visit to you. Although I'm a 69 year old female, I can still dream of a small homestead to live out my life on. Thank you for your series.
Virginia Reid Howdy Ma’am- Thank you for coming by. You never know, your dream can still come true. Don’t stop dreaming... God bless you
Im excited for the series!!
Hi Paul, this is a lovely video, I really appreciate your message, it really resonates with me. I have a different background and trade, and I'm much shorter in the tooth (one month shy of 27) but like you I am the second generation of my profession. I am a software developer in the UK, and although I never got the chance to work directly with him, I learned a lot from my late father about our craft. He passed away unexpectedly about a year and a half ago and I miss him a lot. He had a way with people, he'd always try to share the things he learned with those around him, and he instilled in me an appreciation for quality, for doing things right the first time like you say. I always assumed we'd have more time.
Like him and yourself, I also enjoy sharing the things I've learned. I've not had many opportunities to do so, but this video has helped me reflect and consider Hey, you know what, why don't I make my own opportunities?
I look forward to watching the rest of your videos, you've earned a subscription from me, and you've also inspired me to share the things I've learned. I'm not sure how it'll come out, but it will. Thanks again, stay safe.
Howdy- thank you so much for subscribing to our channel. I’m sorry to hear about your Dad. I understand what it is to miss someone deeply. I want to encourage you to pursue your dreams and share what you have learned with the world. I hope to hear from you again. And I hope you enjoy the videos. God bless you
You've got such a great style, thank you so much for this. Subscribed
Subscribed and watching here from Minnesota
Thank you so much for the information I will use it to my best abilities. God bless you and your family.
Curtis Myers Howdy Curtis- thanks for watching and commenting. Don’t know how many of our videos you have seen yet, but I wanted to let you know that I have started the cabin build. Hope you can get the information you need for a cabin build of your own. God bless y’all
Hi Paul, I’m a new subscriber and glad I came across your channel. I’m too old to build a log cabin but can dream of what it must be like to experience the joys of what you describe on the porch of that beautiful little cabin. I enjoy watching you work and want to thank you for sharing your instructional videos.
Howdy Mark- l sure appreciate you watching the video and subscribing to our channel. There may be some information in the videos that will help you. Enjoy the ride. Thank you so much. God’s blessings to you
This is what I want to see!
My goodness are we ever going to be watching this channel. We just bought a 62 acre island and this is all new to us. We just subscribed and look forward to more. Great job!
If you don't mind my asking, where in the world is your land and what trees are on it?
@@lynwood5991 our land is in the Canadian wilderness in Northern British Columbia. The island is packed with trees varying fir (balsam etc.), pine, spruce, cottonwood and others. It is packed shoulder to shoulder with trees. The island is completely uninhabited and we have just spent time building a tiny cabin etc. It is like heaven on earth, but this process is all new to us and the adventure of a lifetime. We love it more than we could have imagined!! We invite you to join us on our journey :)
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for watching the video and subscribing to our channel. I hope I can share something that with help you with your projects. God bless you
beautiful.

Great video! Can't wait to see more. Our friend HillBilly told us about you. He had very kind things to say about you. God Bless!
Living Traditions Homestead Thank you so much! We are new to TH-cam and just learning how to do it. Thank y’all for watching and thanks to Hillbilly. God bless
The Bearded Carpenter He is a good guy. If you have any TH-cam questions shoot me an email. We’ve been doing it for a while now and have learned a few things.
Living Traditions Homestead Wow-thank y’all so much! We probably will take you up on your offer. Is Hillbilly ‘s channel “Hillbilly “ or are there more words?
@@TheBeardedCarpenter I don't think Hillbilly has a channel. He says he knows you from the Pioneer Village.
Living Traditions Homestead Omigosh- that’s Terry! He is an encyclopedia of knowledge, one of the most intellectual men I have ever met. He is in the first video my wife made- big man standing with my granddaughter. A very fine man indeed!
