Mind you, I haven't built it yet but as I see it, and based on my previous experience, you would only need the following:

1. Some logs. Those you see are western red cedar however most anything should work. I'll be using douglas fir since that is what is plentiful for me.
2. A drawknife to peal the logs.
3. A chainsaw. Not an electric one. Sharp chain.
4. A belt sander to smooth the tops
5. A disc sander to smooth all the other cuts and log ends.
6. Patience.

All of the cuts are pretty straight forward. If you take your time and think it out, as long as you are comfortable with a chainsaw, you should be able to pull it off. If you mess up the first one, convert it to firewood and try again.

Obser, if you'd like, I can host the plans for a bit. I'm in the middle of trying to figure out how to build a website for my own stuff, but I *think* I can make a folder just for this if you want. PM me if you'd like to try it and I'll play around with the site and see if it's possible.

Red Devil, thanks for the kind offer. I would take you up on it except that would make it less personal -- and we like the chance to interact directly with people.
