How To Build 20 Log Cabins >
A neat silver-gray log cabin surrounded by pine trees may be just the vacation home you have always longed for.
This compact dwelling contains a large living room oecupying more than half the house with windows on three sides, a bedroom with two exposures and an efficient kitchen. You may install a bath inside if you wish or build outside facilities.
The cabin was available from the Ward Cabin Company, Presque Isle, Me., for $1,693 in the 1950s. All logs and planks are numbered and cut but the rest is up to you. The home is not to be confused with a pre-fabricated package.
A full description of the materials and method of assembly is given in The John Alden and The Six-Shooter.
Want to build your own log cabin, or maybe start smaller with a few simple woodworking projects? These wood working plans will show you how to build everything from a deck chair to a barn.
