Linkin' Logs
We’ve taken a traditional children’s toy and upsized it to create a fun building set that’s sure to spark creativity in young and old alike.
Our Linkin’ Logs are the perfect gift for any woodworker to make in Santa’s workshop. The process of making the logs and accessories is pretty easy using tools you already have. The set of logs you see here is made from inexpensive poplar. They’re larger than usual, which makes them easier for small hands to pick up and put in place. Plus, they offer the ability to add doors and windows. These are made from plywood and fit into grooves in the top and bottom edges of the logs. You can make as many parts as you wish to create more building options. We'll show you the trick to making identical parts quickly and consistently. I bet you’ll be building log cabins on your benchtop long before you apply the finish.

Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.

Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.

Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
