It’s a question worthy of thinking about… just think about living in a home built directly from items provided in nature… located in a natural environment. I’ve done it myself, trust me, it’s life changing.

How would living in a log cabin change you?

Daddy was a shop teacher, Industrial Arts major at Texas A&M ’43 . Wish I’d ask him to teach me wood working, fine furniture making. A project of a cabin, recycling wood, tugs at my heartstrings.
Is there a hands on way to start (obviously I would like to be directed first to that site in your pages). Thanks.
Eralyn,
I fully understand. 🙂
I think we all come to point in our lives where we wish we had learned more from what I parents had to offer us… I certainly do.
Hands-on is the way to learn… no doubt about it.
It pays to start small… if your dream is to build your own home you can’t beat starting out with a smaller project… like a shed or outbuilding.
In my teaching Academies I encourage folks to just that… in the Log Cabin Academy I go step-by-step through building a small log outbuilding and explaining as we move along how to do it on our full-size home. In the upcoming Stonemason Academy I go step-be-step through the process of building a fireplace (if you can build a fireplace you can build anything made of stone). And a fireplace, just like a tiny cabin is very easy to move from where you are now, to where you will one day be.
Finally you can even start smaller… the first thing I do on any house-build is to create a pair of sawhorses… I’m going to be doing a free series on YouTube on just this very topic in the near future.
Maybe, that’s what you need to take on next?
