Splitting logs in old-fashioned way
My quick trip to Iron Age gave some wonderful insights on the evolution of log home building techniques. Especially interesting detail was the process of log into rough boards.
I am determined to join that Iron Age association and their activities as much as I can. It is a good way to pick up the knowledge on how to build a primitive log home. Luckily I’ve been slaving away on numerous construction sites since youngster, so I don’t have to learn everything from start. Here are some learning goals that I have set for myself:
1. Learn how to choose right trees for a log home
2. Learn how to use wood to build a primitive log home
3. Learn practical woodworking skills
4. Learn to take it easy (oh, this I can do already)
Eventually, I’m hoping that I will be able to purchase a piece of land with suitable pine trees and then use my own logs to build a primitive log home. I will do it from start to finish and naturally there will be extensive documentation on it. I better install electricity otherwise you get to read the info via letters.
