Whether building a summer cottage in the woods, the hunting cabin of your dreams, or homesteading off the grid, this handy reference provides a logical and sensible approach to building permanent shelter in out-of-the- way places. Including everything from choosing and clearing a site and creating an electrical power source, to clearing the land and creating a foundation, this book offers instruction on building an A-frame cabin and a rustic log cabin with a framed roof. There is also a special section on designing small buildings to cope with Mother Nature, including earthquakes, heavy snow, high wind, and flooding.

Suitable for woodworkers, this title includes information on: using creativity and flexibility in setting up a home workshop; assembling a modern workbench; storing tools and materials using as little work space as possible; getting the most from work surfaces; and simple precautions to reduce mishaps.
