Couch2Cabin is a three-hour live demonstration of how we cut and assemble a dovetail log cabin using a chainsaw and dovetail cutting jig. During the demonstration, we’ll walk through the process of laying out and cutting the dovetail joinery, fitting the logs, and stacking the walls as we work on a full dovetail cabin.The goal is to show that building a dovetail cabin doesn’t have to require complicated equipment or years of experience. With a chainsaw, a jig, and a repeatable process, the joinery becomes much more approachable.
Whether you’re thinking about building your own cabin or simply curious about the process, this three-hour demonstration is an opportunity to see the tools, techniques, and joinery firsthand. Come watch, or cut a dovetail yourself!
