[Closed] one for the shed buildists

That is fantastic.
Proper skills and knowledge.
I'll watch in full later.

Starting to understand why they carried axes in to battle. That's some skill.

Very nice indeed. I've spent some time in Finland, and stayed in some wooden houses and a log cabin. I would feel complete being able to build my own house out of wood...and have an mtb leaning against the wall.

Have you seen the size of that mallet.. 😀

Brilliant. Does anyone know why they finish the outside of the cabin with the axe?

My boss has built himself something like that in Norway, hopefully going to visit in March 🙂

Very good.
How long before a thread titled.

Which axe to build this??

What was that stuff they packed between, looked like beards?

Thanks for sharing fascinating for me, the build technique is very similar to the house I built that was imported from Finland ( the logs were already cut) I used the same stacking technique its quite complicated to ensuring that the stakes are alternate, or the movement in the wood would cause problems, digging them out if a one was put in the wrong place was a pain. I liked the way they checked the squareness by measuring the diagonals. I met quite a few Finnish Builders, they are tough guys.

I loved that, thanks for sharing.

Great watch that with superb axe work and craftsmanship

Likely to be better than anything I watch on TV over Xmas
