Very nice! I intend to sign up for the Handcrafted/Log Home Academy very soon. I'm just trying to decide where I want to build, the design, and what logs to use. I realize that I would probably have most of those answers if I had already signed up. I'm a long time viewer, and procrastinator. I'm sooo ready to stop the procrastinating Noah
So at 62 now i do t want to live in a hone w a set of stairs going upstairs anymore.. i want long home very long but one story! So How do i unite a long wall requiring two full long logs together? Any butt joints in the middle? Got a video on this idea? Thanks Timothy
It can be done, but they typically take some work to look like they belong there. In general, they would be better served for a timberframe, unless the barn in question is a log barn...which could work out wonderfully.
New subscriber - bingewatching now. I think I need to sign up for the academy. Quick question - why is the top plate flat on bottom instead of being notched on bottom? (Total newby question, but it seems like it would be easier to notch the bottom rather than make it straight and smooth...
Hi Christopher! Thanks for following along and good question. If you look closely, you will see that the log below the plate is notched with a flat surface (similar to a square notch), which allows the top plates to be leveled more easily and accurately with one another than if you tried doing a half dovetail or v-notch.
I really enjoyed seeing the single logs with the notches cut - helps me understand how they're made. Thanks!
How exciting Noah! I appreciate the concept of tackling a smaller outbuilding first..to begin to hone my craft. Keep a good thought. Bob
Simply awesome ! You're a great teacher, Noah
Love it! Beautiful, timeless cabins...
They look so cozy!

I purchased the entire hand made house guild and was/am very pleased with it. Keep a note pad handy and take notes.
@@matt67524 Thanks for the feedback, and tip. I think I will purchase it too.

Who needs to go on vacation when living in a beautiful cabin surrounded by nature?
Are there any best practices to making a notch? Like in cabinet-making where some standard ratios are used?
Any literature available on cutting the notches?
How do you feel about using old barn beams to build a cabin?

Oh I needed to watch these beautiful cabins! I forgot all the horrors of my life! Thank you
Am I understanding correctly--it will take 2 years to season the logs before we can build? Gah!
