I’m in northern NJ and planning to build a few small log cabins, around 8x12, using 4x6 pine or hemlock that I’ll mill myself. I’m pretty set on using dovetail corners and stacking the logs tight with no gaps.
I also plan on chamfering the edges. I saw a guy on YouTube add a small drip kerf on the underside of the outside edge with a shallow circular saw pass to help keep water from getting pulled into the joint.

Curious if anyone here has done something similar.
My biggest question is shrinkage/settling since I’ll likely be building with green lumber. How do you guys handle doors and windows so the logs can shrink without causing problems? And if the logs are stacked tight, is there anything I should be doing between courses?

Some of these may eventually become small saunas, but right now I’m mostly trying to get the log construction right. Would appreciate any advice or photos from anyone who’s built this way.

Hello everyone! I have a pretty established ambient pedalboard for my guitar and bass and recently acquired a Torso s4 and Tonverk over the past year that I am SLOWLY leaning. My goal is to fill out the rest of my intended sounds with these. For some reason I am not a fan of using a laptop to create these sounds. I do have/love my piano, cello viola sounds from Felt Instruments VST’s and was hoping to multi sample them into the Tonverk and use the S4 to play field recordings and granular awesomeness. Is this the right approach? I also saw the Push 3 recently and thought wow that could do all of what I am after but I don’t want to go down another rabbit hole only to be exactly where I am now. The music/bands I like and sound similar too are Good Weather for an Airstrike, Riceboy Sleeps, Beneath the Mountain and the Goodnight Project etc. any help or suggestions or guidance would be immensely appreciated!!

Does anyone use their Torso for ambient music? There are a lot of types of sound that fall under ambient, but I’m not referring to the techno minimalist beats ambient but instead more along the lines of bands like Riceboy Sleeps, Rhucle, Be Still the Earth,Sonant, Hatsu etc. A loser more organic sound/approach. I have a pretty solid ambient pedalboard for my guitar/bass but want to fill my sound with the Torso and my Toneverk which I’m still in the beginning learning phases. I also have most of the Felt VST instruments and would love to take those sounds out of my daw and into the Toneverk (via multi sampling)

Hello everyone! I am new to this group as well as my Toneverk and wanted to know if anybody can recommend of youtube video series that breaks down how to use it… a lot of videos I see don’t start at the very beginning and seem more advanced so I need something that is very basic. Besides the manual I do have experience with synth/samplers and I play ambient guitar and I also have the torso S4 and I’m learning that as well, so I just need to learn this in small digestible chunks.

Hey Guys, I’ve been working with a few different AI models and none of them work really that well they’re good but they don’t really hold the details that I need but they are good enough for now. Basically I am trying to use a company‘s vendor/assets, i.e. per bottle on a white background dress on the white background and then place that product and multitude different environments would be tabletops the life for model on a beach model holding the perfume bottle, etc. what would be the best approach to reduce drift and keeping the elements of that particular asset consistent?
