The Log Construction Manual
By Robert W. Chambers
If you or someone you know loves log homes, and wants to know what it takes to build a log cabin project from small to large, knowing the “Rules” is essential.
Beginners as well as professional log home building companies have hired Robert Chambers to teach them the most state of the art methods that have been combined with two-thousand-year-old techniques.
If you are confused about what defines “Handcrafted Traditional Log Homes” you will be light years ahead after reading this manual. And it IS a step-by-step manual and is the very same manual used in all of Robert Chambers’ log construction workshops held all over the world.
Yes, you will need this as your constant companion during your project. This isn’t one of those log home books that you read once and set on the shelf. No, it will likely look like mine soon, covered in bar oil and saw dust with notes in the margins.
You’ll know all the tricks, you’ll know what log home tools you’ll need to make building a log cabin easy without struggling with tools that simply don’t work. Build faster, better, and smarter and ensure you know exactly what the pros know and why they must know it. Shave off hundreds of hours and mistakes by simply following the “rules”!
Choosing one tool over another can mean the difference between getting the job done next week or last month! Seriously, the log home system you will learn is absolutely the best way to build a tight log structure.
This is a REAL Manual. Expect to get it dirty and stained with chainsaw oil and saw dust! Even experienced crews still find themselves laying their manual out on the logs to keep it as a handy reference when they need it. For this reason, the Log Construction Manual comes with a ringed-binder so you can lay it flat and refer to it WHILE YOU BUILD!
Learn why building with green timbers helps make log shrinking and settling all work for you, not ruin your project!
How to scribe notches fast, accurately, easily, and then be able to cut them not only super fast, but without making you ruin your body in doing so.
And WOW, look at the cool air-tight shrink-to-fit- notches that will only get tighter as the logs shrink and settle!!
INSTEAD of using that valuable energy up in frustration because you run into snag after snag, put your energy into using your imagination! Like this hobbit door, not a problem if you learn how settling works!
