Anyone here made a "Proenekke-style" cabin aka simple log cabin?
I'm planning on giving it a go this spring and would love to hear your stories and thoughts about it.

I was just watching this the other day.
Was way less involved than a full on cabin build but it has some neat ideas.

Good luck on your build and post a thread or 12 when you get it going.

Funny, i've been following that lad and his dad too.

And i definitely will!
I've got the green light from my old man who owns the property and got most of the tools sorted. Thank fuck that my father offered me to use his chainsaw, otherwise i'd be stuck with a hand saw with the budget i currently have.

What seems to be absolutely impossible to find is a drawknife that isnt shit for under 100$, currently scouting auction sites for old ones to sharpen up instead

It'll be mostly simple but very hard work

Are you British?
What are you going to use the draw knife for?
Just debarking? Or to try and somewhat hew the logs?
I would think any run of the mill draw knife could easily debark as long as you keep it sharp.
Have you watched Proenekke's full videos? He's always filing on his tools.

Swedish

Debarking and maybe some rough shaping of logs (eg flattening for tight fitted wall)
I know, but there are no places that sell drawknives except for the 100$+ type!
I found some china-made ones on amazon but reading the comments imply that they are very thin and weak; not ideal for rough work like debarking.

The closest thing that doesnt cost a fortune is pic related, the Mora Späntkniv, but its' blade is about 10 cm (3.9 inches), not at all ideal for debarking big logs.

I've watched them all, multiple times.

Ok, so you have a plan. I'm not sure how popular Etsy is in Sweden, but you might be able to find an older one there.
>Or a new one for relatively cheap
Something like this, perhaps. 11" (280mm) blade It's about $60 shipped to the US but it might be less to you.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/552302936/wood-draw-shave-woodworking-knife-draw?

I'm not very versed in draw knives though, so just peruse around there. You might find something to your liking and budget. And re-search often as, like Ebay, new "old" stuff is listed all the time.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 24 04:55:39 2018 No.1319555 >>1319553 Oh, man, that one seems pretty great for the money. 43$ with shipping. Thank you! I had never even heard of Etsy before, i'll definitely have a look around.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 24 05:10:47 2018 No.1319562 >>1319555 Oh shit, you're going to have a field day. Etsy is like a flea market online, but less cluttered with random shit like Ebay, and more antiques and harder to find items. And you're welcome, glad I could be helpful.

Are you me? Pretty much the same situation though I'm planning on starting when I have time off work so some time this summer. The only log cabin building related experience I have is reassembling this old woodshed. Some of the logs were in a pretty bad shape so I made new ones with a chansaw.
The logs my father has are already debarked so that step is taken care of at least
Good luck on your project and I hope I can pick up some tips from you

Slojdfokus dot se has one for 40€. Still, what you want is a real bark spud (barkspade), the kind that you pull towards you is the best. I bet half of the farmers or anyone living in a rural area has one collecting dust in an outhouse and would let you borrow it. I think my father has two. Or just make one with a bit of 3mm sheet steel. Between the bark spud and the chainsaw you probably won't need much else to finish the logs.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 27 18:20:31 2018 No.1321664 >>1321477 Oh shit! How could i have missed that one on Slöjdfokus? Thanks! I dont know man, drawknifes seem easier than bark spuds and drawknifes can be used for other stuff too, like making furniture for said cabin
