| Summary | "Building with Logs" by Clyde P. Fickes and W. Ellis Groben is a technical guide published as Miscellaneous Publication No. 579 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service in the mid-20th century. This book serves as a comprehensive manual on log cabin construction and detailing, reflecting the practical methods pioneers utilized when building their homes in the largely forested regions of the United States. The text elucidates fundamental principles of log construction while providing instructions on tools and techniques needed to execute various elements of log building. The book is structured into chapters that cover various aspects of the log construction process, from laying foundations and preparing logs to framing corners and creating furniture. It describes essential materials, tools, and construction techniques with great detail, providing diagrams to aid understanding. The authors emphasize the importance of using specific types of logs, methods for ensuring structural integrity through proper notching, and strategies for addressing challenges posed by log shrinkage.
