Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Structures you’ve built

Some very nice stuff there guys. Slumlord, the greenhouse and the sun room/patio area look first-rate.

Sweet work RUM7


Mrs slumlord builds a few tables. She rolled in here one day with a stack of 4x4s, backer board and a sheet of 3/4”. She built the table and a week later did all of the tile inlay.

That mofo is HEAVY. but it weighs 300 lbs

Thank you

I just want to know who did the layout. And we’re they hanging down or climbing up?

Life long dream was to build my own home!
DONE!
Built several sheds, box blinds, a barn (36×48).
Spent time in north Dallas (Highland Park, University Park) on framing crews putting those monstrosities together!
Worked on a couple of log homes in Colorado.

No major builds.

"Jesus was a carpenter. I'm just a wood butcher!" LOL!

Anyone ever built a fort out of empty munitions containers filled with sand ?

Window mount for shooting gophers..

More than a few, we used sand bags and logs or railroad ties for the overhead.

For a day job I build military support buildings like the $80 mil, F35 Lightning ll hangars and $400 mil. medical office buildings, concrete & steel vertical parking structures & other such stuff

was a residential contractor years back, homes from $200k to $800 k in the local residential market

Never had time for personal builds before until last summer .... It involved a bunch of earth moving & landscaping with rented heavy equipment, building a cabin at my private shooting range that will have a sound proofed, ventilated ballistics lab/shooting bunker where I can shoot steel 100-1000 yards directly from the bunker, year round, 24-7 & no one will ever hear a shot ....

Don't have the building started yet, I wanted to do all the landscaping first to get that out of the way, Got the steel pilings pounded in 15 ft deep last fall with frost sleeves on them so don't squirt out before I build, did some extensive earth moving & built me a "moat" around the cabin building pad that is connected to a creek and now have rainbow trout & grayling in my moat, no crocs yet but a bunch of beavers built up their dam last fall and created a small lake just below my build, 100 lbs of tannerite will fix them in the spring

That's gonna be nice !

This thread will draw RoundOak out to show off his 27 different log cabins he built by hand on his 600 homestead acres.

Built this last spring, all Milled with a chainsaw mill out of cedar.

That crane is cheating 😂

We used to sell a bunch of those old C band satellite dishes that we removed from people’s yards. The interior designers would snatch them up for big money to use as “domes” that would be plastered over for a curved ceiling.

Nice work everyone. Every building project shown shows serious skill.

A little log cabin I built on our property. I did it all with hand tools, except a chain saw to cut the trees. I watched Alone in the Wilderness enough times that I wanted to try building my own log cabin. No where the quality of his, but almost 20 years later it’s still just as sturdy as the day I finished it.
