The course is designed to provide the technical knowledge and skills that employees or volunteers will need to use these tools safely.For specific needs, such as small limbing and bucking projects by volunteers, portions of the course can be adapted and modified. The reduced course can then be taught in less time. Certification is still required.Remember, the primary objective is to provide classroom and field training for anyone using chain saws and crosscut saws.The materials, such as the Chain Saw and Crosscut Saw Training Course Instructor's Guidebook (0667-2804-MTDC) and the Chain Saw and Crosscut Saw Training Course Student's Guidebook (0667-2805-MTDC), are designed to be presented in a variety of ways: throughlectures, discussions, audiovisual aids, classroom exercises, and field training.Instructors shall comply with the procedures outlined for the field training and evaluation (chapter 6) of this training course.Because of the different types of vegetation that chain saw and crosscut sawyers experience when working throughout the United States, instructors should supply additional materials, such as slides showing vegetation typical in the area and regional statistics regarding accidents and safety trends.","brand":"Summer Beam Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45138120606006,"sku":"","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/2301\/7526\/files\/61sbqYo6s-L._SL1360.jpg?v=1739216307"},{"product_id":"the-classic-hewn-log-house-a-step-by-step-guide-to-building-and-restoring","title":"The Classic Hewn-Log House: A Step-by-Step Guide to Building and Restoring by Charles McRaven","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe Classic Hewn-Log House: A Step-by-Step Guide to Building and Restoring by Charles McRaven\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"pd-product-id\"\u003e1580175902\u003c\/span\u003e   \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEAN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e9781580175906\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Storey Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca class=\"doPublisherSearch\" href=\"https:\/\/ipage.ingramcontent.com\/ipage\/productdetail?queryString=H4sIAAAAAAAA_6tWKk5RskpLzClO1VEqzs9XsiopKgUyC0qUrJSc8vOzlYDs4iolKyNTICMHKOjp5-6rBFILZLv4-rmA2AVKVtHRhjpKQLZ3amV5flFKfEhmSU4qkG9pbqFraGphYGhuamlgphQbWwsA5y2XonMAAAA\u0026amp;R=6900561#\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePaperback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCopyright Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApril 01, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 0.51\" H x 10.84\" L x 8.52\" W (1.32 lbs) 208 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"contribution\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA classic of early American architecture, the hewn-log house has a unique rustic charm and character.

In this time of empire building, logging towns grew like weeds around sawmills and often died when the last tree was cut. The people living there called it \"cut and run.\" This fascinating book presents true-life photographic images of the loggers and the people they touched. Here we see the lumberjacks and river pigs who began the work, railroad loggers who extended the range and types of logs available, and a close-up look at one town in the wilderness. With hard work written across their faces, these men and women who dedicated their lives to the logging industry earn the respect of today's readers through the dynamic photographs and poignant stories related here. To build American towns, they toiled to make the lumber available; they succeeded and became legendary.","brand":"Summer Beam Books","offers":[{"title":"Sepia","offer_id":51314581373238,"sku":"","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black and White","offer_id":51314581406006,"sku":"","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/2301\/7526\/files\/51vWPe1siAL.jpg?v=1732233986"},{"product_id":"early-logging-tools","title":"Early Logging Tools","description":"Over 330 clear color photos display the wide array of equipment once used to log high timber that are now eminently collectible, including axes, saws, filing tools, springboards, oil bottles, undercutters, wedges, marlin spikes, drag saws, and venerable chainsaws.

In vernacular peasant architecture, both dwelling houses and outbuildings typically were built of round logs until the middle of the 19th century, while hewn logs were used for manors and public houses. Axes were the sole tools employed in the construction of log buildings until the 1860s, when crosscut saws won a place in the carpenter’s toolkit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorway spruce (Picea abies) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), both indigenous to Estonia, were the traditional species of choice for log builders, a preference that continues today. Historically, woodsmen cut and brought timbers to the jobsite in midwinter during the old moon (December to February), peeled and stored them for spring, and the building was cut and raised during the same summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoundations were generally primitive, with walls supported by piers of quarried stone, infilled with loose stone, rubble, clay or sand. Often outbuilding foundations were not infilled at all. After the second part of the 19th century, lime mortar use became widespread even in rural areas, and henceforth the quality of the foundations increased and the lifespan of the buildings lengthened. Birch bark served as a barrier against damp between the first log and the stone foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDowels or keys placed at intervals along the logs helped bind larger walls. To keep walls in plane at door and window openings, plank jambs (tender) were grooved into log ends at the openings. Side jambs typically cut 5 percent short allowed wall logs to shrink and settle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLog diameters varied with building type. For houses and barns it was generally 7 to 10 in. In the traditional full-scribe procedure, not always used today, the corner joint (neck) was scribed first and then, once the logs were in proximity, the bottom of the upper log was grooved and scribed to fit the lower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"attachment_740\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"caption-attachment-740\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"\u003eKoerakaelatapp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoinery Estonian carpenters employed a wide range of lapping joints to bind the corners of their buildings. Though the topic warrants fuller treatment, here we show the most nearly typical corner joints, in order of historical development. (Nurk means corner, tapp means notch.) With widespread use of the crosscut saw in the mid-19th century, the järsknurk (“steep corner”) joint, faster to build, became the most popular for buildings with log walls exposed to the exterior. In the town milieu, and in rural areas beginning in the 20th century, the kalasabatapp (“fishtail notch”) became the preferred corner joint (puhasnurk). This notch was generally used for logs hewn flat on their vertical faces, to accept sheathing or plaster; it was more rarely used on round-log buildings, with logs hewn flat near their ends to allow for a clean joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Summer Beam Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45165063831862,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/2301\/7526\/files\/93533791-6E6D-4877-AD03-3A99E6F1D7D3.jpg?v=1682651268"},{"product_id":"the-log-cabin-an-illustrated-histor","title":"The Log Cabin: An Illustrated History: An Illustrated History","description":"\u003cp\u003eLike a wooden security blanket that Americans reach for when times get tough, the log cabin has endured as a uniquely American symbol of home and hearth.

From the pioneer era through the mid-twentieth century, folk builders in Tennessee used logs to construct cabins, barns, other outbuildings, schools, and churches. In warm, accessible prose that often makes this deeply researched work read like guidebook, John Rehder explores the varied styles and architectural characteristics of these fascinating structures, including their floor plans, the types of timber used, and the different notches that were cut into the logs to secure the structures. \u003cbr\u003e Profusely illustrated with over one hundred images, Tennessee Log Houses traces the evolution of log houses from one-room (or single-pen) dwellings to more elaborate homes of various types, such as saddlebags, Cumberland houses, dogtrots, and two-story I-houses. Rehder discusses the historic settlement patterns and building traditions that led to this variety of house types and identifies their particular occurrences throughout the state by drawing on surveys conducted in forty-two counties by teams working for the Tennessee Historical Commission (THC). Similarly, he explores disparate barn and outbuilding types, including the distinctive cantilever barns that are found predominantly in East Tennessee. Sprinkled throughout the book are engaging anecdotes that convey just what it is like to conduct field research in remote rural areas. Rehder also describes in detail a number of the state's exceptional log places, among them Wynnewood, an enormous structure in Middle Tennessee which dates back to the early nineteenth century and which suffered severe tornado damage in 2008.\u003cbr\u003e As the author notes, many of the buildings originally identified in the THC investigations have now vanished completely while others are in serious disrepair. Thus, this book not only offers an instructive and delightful look at a key part of Tennessee's heritage but also makes an eloquent plea for its preservation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUntil his death in 2011, JOHN B. REHDER was a professor of geography at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He first joined the UT faculty in 1967. He was the author of Appalachian Folkways, which won the Pioneer America Society's Fred B. Kniffen Book Award in 2004, and Delta Sugar: Louisiana's Vanishing Plantation Landscape, which won the Vernacular Architecture Forum's 2000 Abbott Lowell Cummings Award. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Summer Beam Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45918277927222,"sku":"","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/2301\/7526\/files\/IMG_0482.jpg?v=1689879821"},{"product_id":"vacation-homes-and-log-cabins","title":"Vacation Homes and Log Cabins (Revised)","description":"Using five basic construction techniques: conventional wood-frame, A-frame, pole-frame, concrete masonry and log cabin, here are 16 complete plans for cabins, vacation homes and low-cost permanent homes.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45922377204022,"sku":"","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/2301\/7526\/files\/818VavtEuWL._SL1500.jpg?v=1739219167"},{"product_id":"your-log-house-the-on-site-manual-for-the-do-it-yourselfer","title":"Your Log House: The On-Site Manual for the Do-It-Yourselfer: The On-Site Manual for the Do-It-Yourselfer","description":"Le Chateau Montebello circa 1930, during its June opening. (Photo courtesy Muir Publishing.) It is a joy for me to see the 3rd edition of this book launched upon such an auspicious occasion as the 25th anniversary of the American\/Canadian Log Builders Association International (www.logassociation.org) and at such an historic site or Mecca for log builders like the Chateau Montebello. It was my privilege to have met Victor Nymark, the master builder of this project during the Depression. I met him at the 1977 historic log structures conference held in Banff. A quarter of a century ago, a somewhat coincidental or serendipitous meeting took place in the wilderness at the log home of B. Allan and Mary Mackie. It was at this momentous meeting that the group of six gave birth to the CLBA. The founding group of six consisted of B. Allan Mackie, Mary Mackie, Vic Janzen, Ed Campbell, Art Long, and Bernie LeGault. The early years were probably the most fun, the characters most colorful, and the methods most primitive. The builders were a small fraternity (with some sorority elements) of bearded refugees from other trades and professions. We all wore knives at our belts, even in polite company. When asked by civilians why we did so, our reply was inevitably, \"To sharpen the indedible (spelling error deliberate) pencils for our scribers.\" I used horses to parbuckle logs onto buildings in the earlier years of my career, and later a 1954 Ford pick-up truck. The high tech development of the old truck with an A-frame and wrecker winch came to early builders much later. Older association members will remember dreaming about cranes and cherry pickers. As a previous president of the association, I hosted two annual meetings. For me, the last was most memorable and in marked contrast to the one I attended at the Harrison Hotel in BC-even in more marked contrast to the year 2000 Montebello site of today. For the conference of 1980, we met in the neighborhood of my present cattle ranch in Columbia Valley-the rain-drenched cedar forests of southwestern British Columbia. We rented the local community center. My wife Claudia and her mother cooked for the crowd. The delegates were fed Mennonite borscht from huge vats. Six large chickens were used as the stock. Most delegates\"crashed\" (an old Hippy word) in my barn, woodshed, or in the living room and kitchen. Some camped in the yard. I mention this scenario because it is in such dramatic contrast to where we have arrived at today as both a profession and as a professional association. It is my hope that my fellow association members will be able to use this book as a training device for their apprentices. I also have a heart for \"once-in-a- lifetime builders\". I hope my book will be of particular use to them. I am both impressed and proud of the excellence in craftsmanship that our current generation of builders is capable of performing. Those of us who pioneered this revival can only look in amazement at their superior work. Log Home Guide Information Center, Inc.

This distinct region, which includes Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Russian Republic of Karelia, was dominated by coniferous forest and remained until well into the 20th century a largely rural society. Wood was seen as a living material - one that was permeated with myth and folklore - while the forest itself formed the background to everyday life. Indeed, no single source of material wealth has contributed more to the economy, art and culture of Fennoscandia than the forests. Nowhere is this contribution clearer than in the region's historic buildings, the vast majority of which were constructed in wood up until the late 19th century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the first book to examine and record the distinctive wooden architecture of this region from the early medieval period to the early 20th century. Structured according to different wood types, it concentrates on domestic and religious buildings, as these formed the great bulk of historic architecture in the peninsula over many centuries. It begins by setting out the geographical, social and historic background, before discussing the way in which two different timber-building traditions emerged in the region. It then provides a detailed examination of different types of dwellings (rural and urban) and storage lofts, followed by a section on Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox churches, along with their free-standing bell-towers. The book concludes with a chapter outlining the development of wooden domestic and religious buildings during the closing decades of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century.","brand":"Summer Beam Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47569163944246,"sku":"","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/2301\/7526\/files\/71XBVpBkOAL._SL1500.jpg?v=1736559582"},{"product_id":"norways-stave-churches-architecture-history-and-legends-by-valebrokk-eva","title":"Norway's Stave Churches: Architecture, History, and Legends by Eva Valebrokk \u0026 Thomas Thiis-Evensen","description":"\u003cp\u003eNorway's Stave Churches: Architecture, History, and Legends by Eva Valebrokk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN: \u003c\/strong\u003e8276830110\u003cstrong\u003e EAN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9788276830118\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBoksenteret\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePaperback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1997\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 0.94 lbs, 104 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productDetailElements\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Norwegian stave churches are unique - there are no structures like them anywhere in the world.
