Montana School of Log Building and Log Homes

Back in time, twenty two years or so ago we bought the Montana school of log building videos. I had the land and wanted to build my own log home. As I watched the videos, Al Anderson was teaching me how to build a log house. I had the logs delivered to my land and started to make my log home reality. I want to thank Al Anderson for his work on these videos. I built my home and it is still standing. I never did this before. I am in the process of building another one. When I was growing up we went to a restaurant named Paul Bunyan's in Wisconsin, it was a log building, I fell in love with the log structure. As I got older I read Allen Mackie books God rest his soul. I also met the Wait family from Frontier builders in Wisconsin. These are people I respect in the log building trades. Good honest people that work hard and do a fantastic job in the log home business. Al Anderson is a Hero of mine. I liked his style of building. Al is a great teacher and knows the log building trade. If you are going to build your own log house from scratch, get Al Andersons DVDs or take his course. You will enjoy watching them and you will learn how to build your log home. Thank you ! Al Anderson for teaching me your techniques in log home building. Matthew Minnifield

I attended MSLB back in the early 90's and have applied what I learned in my high school shop classes to construct several log shells. The week at MSLB and a week long timber framing workshop were the best learning experiences of my life. W. G. Sheller, Leavenworth, Indiana
