Remember lincoln logs? Of course you do. Well, if you are waxing nostolgic, you can build your own set of logs and a project that can be used for a toy log cabin. This project is great for a child’s toy, a holiday decoration, or a decorative building for a train set.

The project is one that is not too difficult and is from the people who make the Shopsmith Woodworking System.

log cabin woodworking plan
With this kind of project, there is no limit to the size of the project.  You could make enough logs to build a small village.   Working with a smaller project is a great way to hone your woodworking skills.  As the scale of a project shrinks, the margin of error shrinks with it.

Good luck and have fun!

    I would like to build a log picnic shelter, 24’x24′. I have all the logs that would be needed, already have them peeled. I just need to know how to build this shelter.
