Building The Loft of the Log Cabin using Hand Tools Axe, Cherry Tree, Ostrich, Snowshoeing

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In need of building materials for the loft in the off grid log cabin and log sauna, Cali and I snowshoe through the deep snow in the forest to the grove of dead trees that burned in a lightening strike, seeking out a large black cherry tree that I have had my eye on for two years. I plan to mill it into planks and beams to renovate the sleeping loft, adding storage for clothes and more. I use an axe to cut down the tree - much more exhausting than I anticipated because the wood is seasoned and frozen. With few groceries left in the pantry, I cook an unusual meal of ground ostrich with onions, garlic, zucchini, celery and spices

This may be after the fact, but did you think to tie a rope around the trunk with the snowmobile on solid ground and pull from the safety of the shore until the trunk to is on solid ground? Then just back the snowmobile closer to it to re-tie the tree closer up to it? Dolly

I enjoy the videos immensely but get frustrated trying to keep them in sequence rather than bouncing all over. Am I missing the key to keeping these in order? Is there a date somewhere that I can use?

Love watching all of your videos. You are such an inspiration. I am surprised that you haven't built a bed or beds in the loft. Next project, maybe? Keep up the great informative videos.

I like to see video of you maintaining your tools. My dad was a carpenter for 60 years.

In the Book of Genesis, God says that anything man can imagine, he will be able to do! Shawn is motivated by a dream he had that what he has dreamed, he can achieve!

All the logs that you use for all the projects that you made. are from dead trees or something like that? or you cut living trees to?

I see that Cali is still trying to steal the show (by making snow angels in the ground cover. LOL! Yet another great video, Shawn.
