Hello my friends🙂 There are already over 10,000 of us here, thank you! In this episode I start making the fifth row of logs and start building a small house that I will be staying in temporarily until the main cabin is finished. This way I can stay on my property and the work will go faster. It is a really small house that is only 4 square meters in which I will only have a bed, a stove and a small kitchen. I found this to be the same cost as a hot tent. I tried to make this house as cheaply and quickly as possible. Total spend is around 250 euro ($270). I already have the stove and roofing so I don't need to buy it. I will finish this house in the next video. If you want additional information for the video, you can turn on optional subtitles in the video. I would also appreciate a lot if you can support my channel by subscribing! th-cam.com/channels/4R2psHs0FQP7f2LRaS36ZA.html th-cam.com/channels/4R2psHs0FQP7f2LRaS36ZA.html th-cam.com/channels/4R2psHs0FQP7f2LRaS36ZA.html Enjoy🌲
I love watching young people do this ,I was watching another Young man name Erik Grankvist I watched him three years so I'm wishing you all the best xb
My new favourite trance inducing channel, you fit into my relaxation regime perfectly between Primitive Technology and Advoko Makes. I envy your youth, land, and skills.
You are a Natural Carpenter! Steady and focused! I suspect you learned from an awesome Father or Grandfather...am I right? You are a Shining and Sound being!
Things are coming along nicely. Keep up the good work young man. Refrehing to see someone so young have such coviction/ Take care and see you next time.
I did something close this in wytopitlock maine in 1979 , good on you big guy . Its an awesome feeling to sit by the fire , under a roof that you put up. You've got this , enjoy 😉
Matthias, Great video as usual. What a wonderful idea to build a small house to stay in while you work. Should eliminate a lot of travel time to the cabin site. Please use power tools as needed. Sometimes they will be required. Keep having fun with it.
I love how carefully and methodically you work. my grandpa and dad were both builders by trade and then by hobby, and constantly nursing some broken rib or huge bruise from trying to go too fast, cutting corners and falling off their goddamn build
The traditional method, as far as I know, is to make square pegs and put them into the round holes. Don’t ask me why. Perhaps because they won’t rotate. I like your channel. Good work. The world needs this kind of work. Greetings from Sweden from a watcher, not a doer nota bene!
The small house is much less expensive and more durable than a hot tent. You can use it for more purposes once the main cabin is built (and you keep it in good condition). Well done, as always 👍
Great Job Young Man !! One notch at a time the logs go up :) nice insulating with what mother nature gives us, & just hand tools 👍👍Love the little cabin it will keep warm & dry while you are working on the log one !
Dude, this is so great to see someone building a log cabin the correct full-scribe way. We build full-scribe log homes but we use chainsaws, grinders, etc., so it's really neat to see it done the original way with only hand tools. Well done. 👍
Looking good Matthias, even the weather is working with you. Keep up with the hard work and take your time. Keep safe young man. Until the next time. Take care. 🖖
I want to build an off grid cabin too, I’m 22 and I want to get away from the world and closer to God. I’m thinking upstate North Carolina, probably around the black mountains or the Smokey mountains it’s really nice up there.
With this temporary dwelling you could turn into the outhouse and maybe a shower later on when the main Cabin is finished.. that would be perfect ❤ The main Cabin is looking good right now..🏕 well done ❤
Matthias, Enjoy your TH-cam videos building your log house with hand tools. "Discovered" them a few days ago. The videos' filming composition & closed caption comments are great. About 40 years ago drove through Yugoslavia on way to Istanbul & the only expression I can remember is "dobar dan." Know a little bit of Polish and believe your grandmother left the message above for you & you replied "Thank-you grandmother." If the message is from your grandmother, please tell her Dobar Dan!! from an American. AML
Good job, and remember most people dont mind if you use here and there power tools 😉 I'm impressed how good the cabin is taking shape , keep up the good work you doing.
Lovely work. Seems just long enough for the bed, will be nice & cosy when the stove is in. Hope you can get a cat or dog to keep you company in the future.
I hope you dont get high winds there in Croatia, cause that puppy might come down! It doesnt matter how much framing you did, its still only held up by the 12 little screws you installed on the 4 corner post!
Thank you for sharing this with us. That was a clever idea about resetting the green shiplap boards after they season. But why no sway bracing in your little building? Nice fitting on your log work. Keep up the good work, and remember to take time to enjoy!
This is amazing. However. seeing you work with those tools with such precision I'm going to question the 'no experience' part of this video. You might not have built a cabin, but it looks like you've built everything but one :)
Thank you very much for your comment. I take that as a compliment 😁It is true that my father taught me the basics of working with wood from an early age, as I mention in the description, but I never built a full-scribe log cabin, not even my father. Hewing with a broad ax and hewing with an adze axe or scribing, I am doing all these steps for the first time... That's why I say with a clear mind that I have no experience🙂
Unfortunately I don't have my own forest so I bought the trees and then they were cut down for me. After I got them on my property I peeled them. The log cabin measures 18ft x 21ft. I am located in Europe in a small country called Croatia.
What a great idea to swap the tent for a shed/cabin. You can still make use of it when you finish the cabin. I admire your attention to the scribing of the logs on top of each other. Likewise the placement of the moss, having seen others spend hours trying to get the chinking in your system seems to fit much tighter. It’s quite fascinating to watch you “ craft” your cabin. You have a sense of calm around you that is quite addictive! I look forward to my next “calming fix” ❤
So Matthias, now that you've started the main cabin, where are you getting the logs from. They're already dressed and ready for trimming and installing.
I watch you working thoughtfully, quietly and diligently toward your goal Matthias...and watch aother doing the same type build, with power tools, also thoughtful, but with many in your face invectives( which don't bother me in the least ), in a wild area where potentially deadly animals coud appear instantly, causing work/life delay(s)( and provide a potential smart reason for making as much noise as is possible )....which prompts this question....are there wild animals out and about where your build is occuring...and are you prepared for such an event?...Just curious...and be safe, and thanks for sharing your build with us!
Meanwhile I’m sitting in my apartment doing fuck all because I grew up learning nothing of value. I vow to be a skilled outdoorsman and craftsmen by the time I die, and that I can pass these skills onto my kids
This was a very satisfying video. I just did not understand why you did not do the bottom of the small cabin. It basically does not have the floor. If the small cabin is not finished, why the video ended? Will there be a completing the small cabin video? Will there be a small cabin interior video? So many questions in my head!
Thank you! Don't worry, I will make the floor and everything that is missing in the next videos. I will also film a living in a small cabin videos. The video ended because most of my followers prefer more videos and more often. So the videos have to be shorter and split into multiple episodes. You can always turn on optional subtitles in the video for additional information :)
May I ask how long you cured the logs for? We built ours with “green” logs but used chain saws😜Great video by the way! Nice to see the can-do-it attitude. Thanks for sharing! Just added you to my “must watch” list😜
Thank you! I cured the logs over the summer and a total of about 5 months. I have nothing against chainsaws, I know that it also takes a lot of practice.

Pretty accurate choppin....😊
Thanks 😊
@@matt.jacobs1 I was completely amazed by how you made the notches in those logs
Personally I liked it when you had no background music or anything just you working and the noise of the tools you were using!!
Looking forward to seeing what you do. All the best!!
Thank you! You too!
Looking good Matthias, even the weather is working with you. Keep up with the hard work and take your time. Keep safe young man. Until the next time. Take care. 🖖
Thanks my friend, will do! :D
All with no power tools. Amazing
Lindo tu proyecto, tienes muchas ganas de hacer tus cosas y alcanzar tus sueños...bendiciones
Nicely done young man!
Thank you sir!
Lovely work young man.
Thank you sir!
Wonderful progress - love your work and approach!

Thanks for the video Matthias!
You're welcome!
@@matt.jacobs1 keep going
My grandfather’s middle name was Matthias. From Finland originally. Am watching from Michigan in the USA. Great editing in your videos!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Great work young man. This is the kind of activity God intended for us Isaiah 65:21

Sei un grande
Ahoj Matýsku. Jsi obdivuhodně pilný a šikovný. V širém světě se neztratíš ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
Ahoj Dědečku. Děkuju, to je milé 🙂.
Wonderful vid…Thanks, Rob
Wow.
You have some very nice tools!
Nice attention to detail btw.
Nice camera work as well.
With this temporary dwelling you could turn into the outhouse and maybe a shower later on when the main Cabin is finished.. that would be perfect ❤
The main Cabin is looking good right now..🏕 well done ❤
That would be cool!

@@matt.jacobs1 It is definitely a compliment. I wish I had 1% of your skills.
Respect!
Awesome to see you building this! I assume you take inspiration from my self reliance? 😄
Yes I did. I started watching Shawn a long time ago and I love his videos. Erik Grankvist is also a big inspiration for me.
did you mill your own lumber? did you buy or cut your own logs off your property? what size is the out building? is this located in the US or Canada?
Unfortunately I don't have my own forest so I bought the trees and then they were cut down for me. After I got them on my property I peeled them. The log cabin measures 18ft x 21ft. I am located in Europe in a small country called Croatia.

I don't mean to pick but would power tools be quicker?

awesome work man,hey what kind of trees are those they look wonderful for building . beautiful site for a cabin .
Thanks man! Those are fir trees.

Thank you! No need to worry. Here where I am, there are only jackals who only attack cattle and are afraid of people.
Instead of using tar just use a torch and a propane bottle to burn the wood! Or use oil and diesel fuel!
tenacity worthy of better use
How often do you need to sharpen the peeler tool ?
I missed your foundation. How did you do that. Simply lay the first log directly on the ground? Or use some sort of foundation?
The height of the log cabin of course.
2 mters is not bad at all ,Will you make the roof very sloping?
Yes, the angle of the roof will depend on how high the walls will be. But I would still like to have a quite sloping roof.
👏👏👏👏
Oh hey i loved your sicksons cartoon
Congrats for dropping out of college and doing what you love. College is a scam and you definitely made the right decision.
Thanks for the encouragement mate.
Where is your sledgehammer? Not the cute little Setting Maul you hand made (good job BTW), but a real sledgehammer.
I wonder what this young Robinson Crusoe will do when the last cabin is finally built. Has he got a profession, or will he simply enjoy nature?
Where did you get your wood auger?
Hope you have with no problems
When will you post your progress? It has been months since we last saw you.
Meanwhile I’m sitting in my apartment doing fuck all because I grew up learning nothing of value.
I vow to be a skilled outdoorsman and craftsmen by the time I die, and that I can pass these skills onto my kids
what are the width and depth of the little cabin about 7X10?
whats the name of the half cirkle axe?
