[QUOTE=bigdan;26923711]How did you get the logs up so high on your own? did you use a pulley or something?[/QUOTE] Ladders? Logs that size won't weight much
[QUOTE=Ollih;26929742]Ladders? Logs that size won't weight much[/QUOTE] Not even ladders me and my friend are both over 6'1 one of us would hold it up while the other hammered them in [editline]24th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=ryasnack1;26924740]The elevated walls could really bring in alot of cold air in my opinion and openings for animals.[/QUOTE] Uhm, it's a fort in the middle of the woods of course there's gonna be wild animals in it.
Not to be a jerk or anything, but have you played with Lincoln logs? You're supposed to cut notches into the edges of the logs then lay them on each other, making a tight seal. That thing looks like you would freeze to death.
i wish i could just go out into the woods and build shit, but sadly i live nowhere close to any forests
How did this thread get out the GMF?

This thing is more of a summer past time, I wouldn't be hanging out in it in the dead of winter even though it's still kinda warm, it was made for summer use. I appreciate your criticism though [editline]25th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Europe;26938528]How did this thread get out the GMF?[/QUOTE] i made one in gmf and then in gd.
[QUOTE=borisvdb;26912949]I was expecting something more like this: [img_thumb]http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/willow/history-of-the-log-cabin0.gif[/img_thumb] See. The logs have to be the same width/length and need to have the bark carved off and smoothed out. Then you make notches on the ends so there are no open spaces around the corners and string up each row of logs.[/QUOTE] I'd like to see you build a better fort....
That's bad ass
[QUOTE=En-Guage V2;26945076]I'd like to see you build a better fort....[/QUOTE] I actually did with my dad, but it was a tool shed, not a fort.
[QUOTE=johan_sm;26946189]I actually did with my dad, but it was a tool shed, not a fort.[/QUOTE] A tool shed serves a purpose, we built this fort for recreation (hence the hotbox room) it does not need to be 100% perfect. Does everybody try to find something to complain about in General Discussion? "wow 2 stoners built a cabin and it's not 100% perfect gee whiz this is awful what a surprise." [editline]25th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=claythepro;26918798] Also, what equipment did you use/go through making this? (Nails/etc.)[/QUOTE] Really basic equipment really. 2 hatches, bucket of nails, hammers, hinges (for the door, not photographed) screws, drill, tarps, and assorted materials. if we had better equipment it would have turned out better, oh well I'm content with what we made in a small time span.

Fort OIFY?
[QUOTE=johan_sm;26946189]I actually did with my dad, but it was a tool shed, not a fort.[/QUOTE] Post pictures then Don't worry about the haters OP, they're just jelly. So while they pick out the little flaws, sitting in their basements masturbating, you can hotbox in your awesome fort in the middle of the woods with your friends what's not to like
