Log cabin construction help required please
I expect you can guess whats coming.
I want to build a tissue box with small logs, perhaps a low angle roof as well.
Never built a log cabin before, anyone know where I can pick up some construction tips off the web or elsewhere?
Tried a google but only got sales of the full size thingieswoody U.K.

Try googling "Lincoln Logs". They're a great American Toy Institution and should give you an idea of how it all fits together.
Regards,

When I was 'young les' , I made all of my log cabins from privet hedge long before it was declared illegal to grow them The mating corners were cut with a pocket knife. I can't remember how I covered the roof but the material had to be suitable for the Indians to set fire to.
btw my design came from black and white westerns
