Book Reviews of How to Build and Furnish a Log Cabin: The easy, natural way using only hand tools and the woods around you
Book Review: A good book for sure; more req'd than what's in the woods around you though....
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved the book. It will help you gain a better understanding of many of the details that must be considered when building a log cabin, from tools, to site selection, to the joints used in joining log corners, to the installation of windows and doors.
I will say though, that the part of the title "using only hand tools and the woods around you" is total bull. He calls for all kinds of things that cannot be foraged from the woods, like portland cement and 20 penny nails to name a couple.
I wish I could find a book that took that title to heart and actually used only natural materials; if such a book does exsist this is surely not the one.
