I wish I had some of that lime mortar mix. I have a 4 x 8 foot log building I moved and need to put back together. Have to replace a couple of logs I already have replacements for, but a little nervous about making them fit properly.
I’ll tell ya, if you can get your hands on some limestone or oyster shells and a bit of firewood, you’ll find yourself with some great lime mortar. Fitting old and new timbers is tricky. What I do is leave the replacement timbers a bit long so if I mess up the first joint, I have enough to have another try. Not going to lie, though. Any old monkey can build a cabin from scratch. The sheer number of cabin building videos out there is evidence of that. Rebuilding or replacing timbers in an old one takes a good bit more skill, I think.
@@luizfishing7438 Plenty more hewing action coming up in the next few months: floor joists, fence posts, roof top plates, and so much more. Not sure if I should dread it or look forward to it. Either way, it’s coming.
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
Great video and an amazing restoration on the cabin.
Thanks! I wouldn’t say amazing but it turned out alright.
You did such a good job on this restoration. I really gotta hang a broad axe. White oak is one of my favorites. I've riven a lot for axe handles.
Great
Great work.

Ah, it’s alright. I hope the next one’s even better.
@@HiraethRestorations some more hewing action would be awesome! Greetings from Germany!

Keep up the good work.
Great video.
What type of oil do you apply to the roof?
