John McPherson shows how to do it with logs from your own property, a simple foundation, plus low-cost or recycled lumber, windows, and doors. “How-to” Build This Log Cabin for $3,000 does not include a lot of detailed text, but it doesn’t have to either.

There are more than 300 photographs and several line drawings to take you through the entire process. 1999. 140 pages.

* A note from Dave:
    Another book from John and Geri McPherson. While this one doesn’t cover any primitive skills, it does show in detail how they built a large cabin from local cedar trees.  Their hard work paid off with a nice cabin overlooking a lake for less than most people pay for a foundation. With a few common tools you can build a comfortable hunting cabin, weekend getaway or whatever you can imagine.
