#logsauna

👉The roof's log beams are on!

The sauna is set up, logs and rafters! We will visit few hours tomorrow morning to put a plastic cover over it and we are free some weeks before we come back to cut off windows and door. The client made the drawing of this small cabin and he was also fully involved in all the process. An experience that I wouldn't mind to do again! Tim was my partner for this project, I really enjoy working with him! #logcabin #logbuilding #logsauna #palksaun #palkmaja (at Kavastu, Tartumaa, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDeXS0ODgj9/?igshid=1f5873lkn9hmb

We reached 2m high, cleaned the cheeks and cut the tip of the logs. Looking great so far. We take down the walls because it's getting very high to work and we will restart with the last row from the floor. #logsauna #logbuilding #traditionalbuilding #palksaun #palkmaja (at Mooste) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCVJa5FjwI8/?igshid=6703dx13gnva

Turned the back 3 days from the workshop, students from #viljandikultuuriakadeemia made impressive job. After #jaanipäev we should take over! #estonia #logsauna #logbuilding #vanaajamaja #palksaun #palkmaja (at Mooste) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBn5MjdjX-u/?igshid=1b3ktiqn49uew

Day 16: The log on the top of the windows has been set as some others too. It was the first time for me to try the one step technique: for that you need a compass with levels. #postitee #estonia #vanaajamaja #logsauna #logbuilding #suitsusauna #traditionalbuilding #handwork #handtoolsonly (at Mustajõe, Polvamaa, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxKuyRegjmG/?igshid=9smqj7r7so5x

Day 15: We had a curvy log to use (for the sake of having special technique), to even the curve we make a "bloody cut". We cut about 2/3 of the log wher the curve is bigger and brought it down with straps for the marking. In the same spot a peg will be put to close the opening it created. Also, when you set a log, try to avoid big knot on the joint, I had to make a straight cut and had an extra piece of wood for the windlock. #vanaajamaja #postitee #estonia #logsauna #logbuilding #traditionalbuilding #smokesauna #suitsusauna #elektrivaba #nobenzin #noelectricity #handwork https://www.instagram.com/p/BxIOjKggIZ5/?igshid=1cwvzg9za8x3

Day 8: Some of the tools I need to hew the joints spots. Once the axe of the log is found, I mark the cheeks with a chalk line and find the position of the joints. I cut the depth with the saw, clean the main material with a heavy axe not too curvy then I even the surface with the broadaxe from @gransforsbruk. The last pics is the partition wall joint. The log was actually too small and the space for the next joint is too low, this can complicate the work. Better to keep 10cm vertical distance when you choose the log. #estonia #postitee #logsauna #logbuilding #traditionalbuilding #suitsusauna #smokesauna #vanaajamaja #nobenzin #noelectricity #elektrivaba #hewing #broadaxe (at Mustajõe, Polvamaa, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwXp_NTgSYv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d6y82qyvctk5

Day 14: I am using the 2 steps technique for the marking. It means that I cut the joint of the lower log and I cut the joint of the top log so that the 2 logs are paralell and close to each other to scribe top log joint deeper and the groove with a chisel. Here, the log was a bit curvy and got confused by some depth aspects. In this case I used a 50mm chisel instead of a 35mm. #vanaajamaja #postitee #estonia #log #logsauna #logbuilding #smokesauna #suitsusauna #traditionalbuilding #nobenzin #noelectricity #elektrivaba #handtools (at Mustajõe, Polvamaa, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw_ddMAA-UL/?igshid=tdh8h7d1ww14
