My First Log Cabin - A Simple design you can build

  • This is a look at my first log cabin that I built with my neighbor and in-law. It is a simple design that you can build using a butt and pass method for the corners. We used a chainsaw and handsaw for the joinery, but you could use what ever you have. Tied together every other course with rebar, this is a strong design for setting on rocks or blocks. We had fun building it, and hopefully it will be here 100 years from now. Hit that like button if you think this cabin is cool, and subscribe to see our future projects!

    This is one of the most beautiful log cabins builds that I've seen.
    The smaller diameter logs, the compact size and it's location combine to make this a really wonderful little cabin.
    The gutter also gives you the opportunity to collect rainwater should you choose to do so.
    Thank you for sharing the build of your lovely cabin, it looks to be the place to share good times and make unforgettable memories.
