Building Your Own Log Cabin

If you own land with an abundance of trees, this might be your next project.  If you want to attempt to build a log cabin like the old days you will need minimal tools and lot of strength, patience and time.  The tools  you will need: a large hand saw, an axe, mallet, ogger, chisel, knife/blade sharpener and a pencil.   With a lot of HARD work and DEDICATION you can build your own Log Cabin the old school way.  If you aren't up for as much manual labor you might want to invest in some power tools: chain saw, hammer, sawza, and anything electric or battery powered that might assist at making the job easier and quicker!  I vote number 2!  See the video below for the old school way.  If you want to see him make his own hand tools you will want to start around the 4:00 minute mark. If you want to get right into the log cabin building, you will likely want to start around the 5:00 minute mark.  This is one guy building an entire cabin on his own with tools he made himself!  Its amazing to think he did everything by hand.
