Once a year, the Great Lakes Log Crafters Association gets together in Wisconsin and builds a log shell for a brand new cabin and auctions it off. They do this to spread awareness of their handcrafted▼ log building and to fund the association. Each year, truckloads of master craftspeople show up and work together for a few days for this event. It is a bonding experience because people can share tips of the trade▼ with one another, and the shell needs to be built in four days. To make sure the log cabin shell is done in time, everyone on the team needs to buckle down and burn the candle at both ends.
One of the master craftspeople, Nate, thinks that this is just like an all-star game in professional sports because all the great builders from the Midwest and Canada come and work together. He says that no one is on their high horse; instead, everyone brings their own ideas to the project, and the end result is a beautifully constructed log cabin shell. Besides brushing up on some old techniques and learning new ones, Nate gets a chance to spend quality time building with his father, the man who taught him everything he knows. He and his father bring out chainsaws▼ and even have a friendly contest to see who can kick up the most sawdust▼. This month, National Geographic Channel goes in depth to see how skilled builders make dream log cabins a reality in the series Cabin Fever.
