.

3 DVD discs in a Box Set with 5 hours of video instruction. How to build handcrafted, scribe-fit log home walls with Robert W. Chambers and the Staff of Natural Log Homes.

The DVDs on this page are formatted for US and Canada.

These videos will show you chainsaw and hand-tool techniques you'll need for building your handcrafted log home shell. Animations are used to teach log building fundamentals. Saddle notches and long-grooves (laterals) are scribed and cut. State of the art techniques for doing it yourself -- Building your own log home. 

"It's like having Robert as your private teacher!"

Robert teaches handcrafted methods using naturally-shaped logs that are fitted tightly to each other without gaps and without chinking. These DVDs are not about milled, factory-made, manufactured log kits. Instead, Chambers shows how to use a scriber to trace the contours of one log onto the other.
