    I grew up in NE Iowa, with a large Norwegian population, and have taken many classes offered by the Norwegian museum. One of those classes was on building a log building. I was told an old saying in Norway, "If on the Yuletide the trees you're felling, ten times will be the life of your dwelling"! Good luck, and I do love your videos!

    I wish I had your energy and stamina. I could do a day like that, but the recovery period would be 2 weeks. If you quarter sawed your boards you would have little trouble with cupping. With the grain all on one side of the tree you would have good boards at the expense of extra work and narrower boards. At least you won’t have to forge your own nails unless you plan to use Japanese nailless joinery 🙂 Another fine video from the North Woods.

Our neighbor brought them over, Quail mama was killed by a cat or Skunk I have a Broody Mama bantam hen so we put them under her and we will see if they will hatch. Neighbor said he had them in a box for a day with a 100 watt light bulb and a water jar for moisture. I don't know if they will hatch but we are trying. Around the 17 or 18th of july would be the hatching time? I'm filming it for a video short out later in the month. Our Mamma hen is sitting on the eggs flat as a Pizza and growls at us, just funny to see it. Cheers Martin! Say hello to Vonnie for us.

      I am planning on taking the center pieces only so may be similar in use.

    the mosquitoes buzzing by the camera makes me wince and my eye twitch. you're more of a man than i am. up here in Canada everyone cuts their logs in early winter once the ground freezes but before there is too much snow. that is a beautiful tamarack you felled. maybe the crooked section could become a live edge table or countertop?

      The easy peeling keeps me cutting them in the spring.

    One good thing about 5000 ft and a dryer climate..... no Minnesota State Bird on my property! Your freezer there is filled tighter than mine is at home... haha That looked like TOO much work! The Coke glass looks perfect, too bad I just quit drinking my 3 or 4 Pepsi's a day... a have lost 15 pounds though

    I grew up in Mn. Those bugs have been known to drive entire wolf packs insane. They run off cliffs into Lake Superior and commit mass suicide. Yes indeed.

      Not much of any kind really. If I need it it is 100% deep on my collar and cuffs.

    Is the big lake to the north being high affecting your water level at all?

    • @TheNorthwoodsman1
      @TheNorthwoodsman1  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, not at all. Still draining even with all that going on east and north.

    Tamarack, aka larch, have a tendency to twist no matter what you do to them.

      I am aware of that so cutting some thick planks now to see how they react over time.

    Look up Sodastream, a simple way to carbonate water, then add many flavors, like coke, no need to carry on cola bottles that you won’t need once empty.
