Part 4/7:

His use of tools like the Gränsfors Broad Axe to carve saddles for the logs showcases Matt’s attention to detail. He calibrated his scriber to create notches, ensuring each log fitted perfectly together — a hallmark of full-scribe log cabins that eliminates the need for chinking. Despite the slow progression, he found joy and beauty in the meticulous craftsmanship.

Matt's strategy for insulation included incorporating natural materials, such as moss, placed between the logs for their effective insulating properties. He also discovered historical tools like an auger from 1916, adding a whimsical yet tangible connection to the past as he worked towards constructing his dream cabin.
