To see a log cabin built with skill and experience, I can really recommend this older film from Finland. It's a joy watching these men work. https://youtu.be/_

- justnotworthit 6y ago> "skill and experience" There are many one-off DIY projects on youtube that have greatly expanded my knowledge... but I worry that these kind of videos are piece-meal, stumbling-in-the-dark recreations of lost wisdom. Something that reveals the "culture" or mindset of these kinds of videos: The author felt the need to justify using modern tools (tractor instead of horse) but no one questions what's traditional about a young man building alone, without a team of men of different ages. I thought Mountain Men (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_man) were the exception, not the rule.
