helped his log building students through the process. It is a great

The Montana
School of Log Building is where to learn the "Elite" full scribe method
of log construction that creates an efficient chinkless fit. On site
instruction is hands-on training in small classes. Many students
attend classes to get hands-on experience after they have watched "The
Video Course" now on DVD's. The pre-training is a helpful introduction
to Al Anderson's instruction on-site when teaching scribing and chain sawing
skills. With prior knowledge of terms and techniques, learning is more
efficient. "The Video Course" is a resource that can refresh practices
when the student returns home. Classes allow the students to practice
handcrafting log construction skills, which enable them to confidently
pursue projects of their own, which they have done all over the world!
Whether
in the Montana School of Log Building's log yard for a hands-on class
or joining Al in his "Log Home Handcrafting Video Course", learning is
step-by-step, specific, and understandable. Hundreds of his students
world-wide are handcrafting incredible log buildings with techniques learned
by Al Anderson.
Al is a motivator,
a teacher, a log craftsman who delivers a wealth of tips, skills, and knowledge
of Handcrafting Log Homes. Meet Al Anderson, check out his YouTube
