Book excerpt: Although the log cabin is widely believed to be the one expression of indigenous American architecture, it is, in fact, of European origin, having been first introduced in the New World by Swedes and Finns who settled the lower Delaware Valley in the seventeenth century. Log buildings were unknown to the English colonists of Jamestown, Plymouth, and St. Marys, or the Dutch founders of New Amsterdam, who built the kinds of dwellings they had known in their homelands. Because it was perfectly adapted to the needs and resources of pioneers as they advanced the American frontier south and west through forests and across mountains, the log house became the means whereby a man could keep moving and yet maintain a home and family, and much of America's historycan be traced in the cabins left behind in the westward trek.-- book jacket

Download or read book Log Cabin Construction Techniques in Western Siskiyou County, 1850-1935 written by Ali Abusaidi and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the sponsorship of the Klamath National Forest, 25 log cabins which were built in western Siskiyou County between 1850 and 1937 were located and studied. First, 11 exterior dimensions of these cabins were selected, measured and recorded. Then 26 building elements were identified for the purpose of finding whether there was a relationship between the exterior attributes of these structures and the occupation of their builders. Four major builder occupations were identified: (1) placer mining, (2) hardrock mining, (3) homesteading, and (4) ranching. It was hypothesized that there is a correlation between these builder occupations and the exterior attributes of the cabins. A forward stepwise discriminant analysis was performed on the parametric variables. None of the 11 variables met the default criteria to enter (i.e., F=.15). Hence the null hypothesis that there is a relationship between the occupation of the builder and the exterior variables of the log cabins was confirmed. The 26 categorical variables which were used to classify the cabins were crosstabulated against the occupation of the builders. The results indicated that only four nominal variables discriminated between the builder occupation groups. A predictive model for classifying cabins on the basis of these four variables is presented. A second hypothesis was proposed to examine the relationship between log cabin construction elements and the builder's ethnic background. Data collected on building variables was compared with those ethnic traits described by other log cabin researchers. From this comparison an index of ethnic trait compatibility was produced which demonstrated the strength of relationship between builder's background and cabin construction variables.

Download or read book Log Construction Manual written by Robert Wood Chambers and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Log buildings are embedded deeply into North American history and culture. For more than one thousand years, builders have been weaving logs into homes, shelters, barns, and churches. Today, however, the buildings where we live and work are rarely handmade from natural materials. In this context, handcrafted, scribe-fitted natural log buildings are an attractive and uplifting alternative to conventional buildings and building materials. This book tells you what you need to know to build your own log home and also reveals the deep rhythms and patterns of log construction. Author Robert Chambers shows how to take naturally shaped, tapered, round logs and scribe-fit them one to another so that they look like they actually grew together in the woods. The Log Construction Manual is filled with information available nowhere else, including the Log Selection Rules, Chambers's brilliantly simple method for choosing which log to use next; instructions for building hip and valley log rafters and roof trusses from full-round logs; step-by-step directions for laying out the sill logs for virtually any floor plan, including hexagons, prows, and more; state-of-the-art compression-fit saddle notches and underscribing to keep fits tight over time; details on scribing and cutting long grooves and corner notches just like the pros; and more. Chambers also offers advice on organizing and financing a log home project and has loads of experience to share on cutting costs and avoiding common pitfalls. He presents practical ideas for saving money and controlling costs. Although handcrafted log homes are expensive to buy, they are within reach for many as owner-managed building projects. Writtenconcisely with great care in explaining important details, the Log Construction Manual brings clarity, insight, depth, and even humor to the log builder's craft. This is a comprehensive book for log home owner-builders, beginners as well as professionals.
