Log Cabin Article

Some of you know about my website where I offer plans for building woodworking jigs that are used for cutting log cabin notches. That website is http://logdovetailjig.com

I occasionally even sell some plans.

I got a phone call about a year ago from someone who said they were writing an article about log cabin building. I answered his questions as best I could and then pretty much forgot about the conversation.

Today I got a magazine in the mail. The New Pioneer Magazine is a kind of homesteading publication and it had the article about cabin building. They had a pretty good write up about my plans and website so hopefully I will get a few customers from it.

You can read the article here:

Our Trip to Montana

Brandon and I flew up to Montana last week to spend a little time with Fred and the pets.  We flew into Bozeman where Fred met us with a rented RV.  We drove to Wyoming and camped outside of Cody the first night.  We then drove to Cody and camped.  We visited to Cody Museum and watched the 4th of July parade.  We then drove the Beartooth Highway and went through Yellowstone and camped outside of Gardiner. We headed home to Helena on the 5th.  We spent the rest of the time there around the house. Brandon got to drive Fred's old pick-up truck.  He did a good job. We rode 4-wheelers up to the look out tower at the top of Hogback Mountain, hiked in the creek and took family pictures.  We worked on the little cabin and outhouse getting it ready to hopefully rent out to hunters and campers.  Fred and Brandon made the flower holder out of willow branches.
