Is it splitting logs to make a Viking longship?

Seriously, that's really impressive.

Stoner, thanks for reposting that. Sunday nights without Top Gear are already more interesting.

This is an edited film of some cabin building in Alaska, it's a shame the whole film isn't still available on YouTube.

Guy Greive's book, Call of the Wild, is well worth a read, it's a comedic tale of a Scottish journalist who tries to build a cabin in the Yukon.

Is it some kind of collaborative Whack-A-Mole game?

It looks like some has gone. I found it really inspiring.

Agreed, very impressive. Any idea how all those interlocking bits are cut? It all looks too precise to be hand-cut (shows off complete ignorance of carpentry...)

I've got axe envy now. Seriously impressed by the Japanese joints. Imagine how much a house built like that would cost?
