Where would you take your family if life in the city becomes violent? Our economy is on the verge of total collapse. Now is the time to prepare for tough times ahead. This video cover the first notching of the 12" sill timber. This video series will give you the knowledge needed to build an survival cabin.
Have you always wanted a small cabin in the woods? This video series will demonstrate how mill your own timbers with a Alaskan chainsaw mill. I will also be using a mini mill attachment. The saw I'm using is a Stihl MS441. The Ms441 is a bit to small. I would recommend a Stihl MS066. Working with big timbers is hard and a tight fitting joint takes a lot of time and concentration. The tools I'm using today are two Robert Sorby timber framing chisels. The large "slick" is very old and was givin to me by my old neighbor Hank. I sharpen my timber framing chisels each day before I start working on the frame. If you keep your tools sharp you work will go much smoother. The best sharpening stone I have found for small hand tools like chisels and axes is a 4" two sided stone manufactured by Norton. The two sided stone is more versatile with it's coarse and fine sides. Be sure to apply a few drops of Kerosene or Diesel to the stone. This will prevent the stone from becoming fouled with metal particles. You may also notice I'm using two mallets. The large orange mallet is from Harbor Freight and is shot filled. Filling a mallet head with shot prevents it from bouncing when you strike an object. The smaller red hand mallet is nice for working with the chisels because it does not glance off the wooden handles and is comfortable in the hand. You may have noticed the steel rods I inserted into the corner joints. This is to prevent the frame from coming out of square once I set each corner. I often get asked how are you going to move that cabin once it's assembled? The cabin needs to be assembled in the shop to be sure all the joints fit properly together. Once everything is fitted the pieces will be taken apart and installed at the homestead site. Once the frame is fitted it will be permanently fastened together using 1" oak dowel pins.
