English | 2019 | ASIN: B07XP11CRG | EPUB | pages: 77 | 3.0 mb
If you’re reading this ebook, you’ve chosen to learn a centuries-old Finnish log house building technique. Finnish log builders are recognized all over the world for their legendary skills. Research into their history shows they were among the first to build log houses in the United States as early as the 17th century – nearly 100 years before the country’s official birth. Today, only a few of these relics remain standing in the U.S. But in Northern Europe – such as Finland, Sweden, Norway and Northwestern Russia – many of these magnificent log houses are still standing strong centuries later.
Today, only a few truly skilled craftsmen continue to build log houses in Northern Europe. Despite being passed down from generation to generation, learning the craft from parents and grandparents, modernization has rendered these skills slow, inefficient and, ultimately, superfluous. While it’s difficult to compete with larger and faster machinery, the craft has survived largely due to traditionalists and hobbyist woodworkers – like you – who value the craftsmanship handmade log homes.
In this ebook you’ll find detailed, step-by-step instructions on building with hewed logs using the same Cross Notch methods employed by the old masters themselves. It is, arguably, the simplest technique and, for beginners, the best place to start learning your craft.
While learning these traditional Finnish log house building skills, we hope you keep in mind that you’re not just a hobbyist with a new interest, you are now on your way to becoming a part of history. Now grab your tools and gear, get out there and build something!
Note: This book is designed to be a quick-reference guide on a digital reading device (tablet, Kindle, etc.). We recommend you bring it to your building site or woodworking shop in the field. While we invite novice builders to try this time-honored technique, we do feel that having some basic woodworking experience would be helpful.
