Bizarre Lincoln log parts

How to make Lincoln Logs:
• How To Make Lincoln Logs
I made some alternative parts for Lincoln logs, and this is a quick look at them. All of the logs featured in this video are home-made. A how-to for making the actual Lincoln logs can be found at the link above. Thanks for watching :)

Good luck! Make more than you need, because kids (and adults) love these. A big pile makes it way better.

I suddenly really want to play with lincoln logs

[@sherriandalan]

I don't know how I got here but thanks, I read your LL blog and never thought of making these for the kids. Great idea and new LLs are way to expensive. The roof truss piece is the one in a set of LLs that is made of plastic, it is great that you have come up with a wood piece. The person with personal attacks must not have kids, or a life so remember for every jerk there are a thousand people who watched your video and liked it.

I heard the lead to The Garden, That's my favorite Guns N' Roses number. Reminds me of being 9 or 10 playing with Legos, listening to the Illusion tapes. Outstanding.

I would really love to respond to you, but I'm afraid that you probably wouldn't understand a word that I say. Instead, I will just leave your comments for others to enjoy. I imagine that they will continue to serve as a warning against the unfortunate state of general ignorance. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Wanted to build my own logs to build a LL themed geocache , so i found your tutorial. i used 3/4 x 4 x 6 premium furring strips @ $2.07 a plank, Furring was pre rounded on the edges when i bought but it was slightly thinner then 3/4 , so i had to adjust the cut depth. Table sawed the grooves and sanded the edges round after. came out ok but i learned ways to do it better next time. produced 48+ 4 slot blocks with 2 planks + scraps to make 8 3 slot block

You have the most awesome vids on KZbin. Personally I believe you to be a national treasure.....................

[@TimothyHall13]

I figured out a template for the gable pieces. Thanks for the pointers on appropriate dimensions. How did you do the groves in the gable pieces?

[@steinie44]

I'm getting ready to make some American Logs, like Lincoln Logs, but more square. I have a jig made to cut the notches and cut lengths. I'll rip them first then cut the dado's on the table saw. That way I can use all my scraps for different lengths. I like the way you did it, but I'll try this way first and see what happens. I'll use a 3/16 router round over bit.

[@williambehler8272]

Like what size router bit to use for the trusses and cut measurements

[@brucebonkowsky9406]

Do you have plans for the roof and bixzare what you of word did you make the tresses out of

[@JangoBunBun]

Pocket would make the world's best dad.

[@msrhuby]

Have they ever come up with lincoln logs with which one can make an octagon cabin? Thanks!

[@robertmeadows1657]

He just did. Weren’t you watching?

[@cindylott7580]

Do you sell the pieces. We have a huge set but we need the unique pieces.

[@littleducklin4399]

Your link for the how-to for making the actual Lincoln logs is broken. Please let us know where we can find it. Thanks!

[@jstsumguy29]

Do you sell these pieces by any chance?

[@jsddf8455]

Where is the link you refered to?

[@lorencarey7161]

Patent this before a company steals it

[@Brooque613]

You should totally sell this to the Lincoln Logs people! Make a mini fortune for yourself. :)

[@InvntdXNEWROMAN]

I miss Lincoln logs. I built with those and the Kinex (I'm not sure on proper spelling).

[@timkuen]

The site you listed above is not accessible with the address you provided.

[@pocket83]

Sorry. I had to take the site down. I will replace it someday when I have time ;)

[@williambehler8272]

When are you going to make a video on how to make the trusses ?

[@pocket83]

Follow the link in the description to the other Lincoln Log video. I think there's a link there to a truss blueprint.

[@rickdavis5414]

@@pocket83 I've watched your other Lincoln Log video, but don't see a description on how to give the trusses the 'log' appearance. What router bit? By the way, I love your how-to on making lincoln logs. I've already made a huge batch, but want to make the log-looking trusses.

[@arudson1]

@@rickdavis5414 Any news on the Router bit used? I suspect it's a 3/8 roundover plunge but I can't find one that comes to a suitable point (or very small flat) for under $70 - too much for me as it probably will have no other use.

[@adamcowan391]

Wow i'm a 14 year old guy from Scotland and have never seen these 'linking logs' (correct me if I'm wrong there!). In my childhood i loved lego and K-nex and these look great! Oh well looks like they missed my childhood :p p.s: are these american?

[@pocket83]

"Lincoln," presumably after Abraham Lincoln, who was the American president during the civil war (early 1860's). The inventor was the son of an American architect, so yeah, I guess these things are as American as apple pie and gun permits. If you want more info, my website tells about the history and how to make these. btw, I _loved_ legos as a kid, too.

[@adamcowan391]

Haha, funny how creative childhood toys have made me want to aspire to be an architect, whereas you have become a very skilled craftsman, mainly in carpentry. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, thanks!

[@alternatemusicaddict5226]

did you figure out how to make the 45 degree ones yet?

[@pocket83]

I don't understand the question. I did make the 45° parts shown in the video.

[@alternatemusicaddict5226]

3:47

[@kijiisemo4876]

pocket83 i think he meant, did you remember how to recreate that 45° piece

[@itssimon7362]

You can buy a 4 piece truss from Lincoln logs

[@WizardofGOP]

Wow, look at those jealous comments. pocket83, that was impressive. Keep it up.

[@TheNagiri]

I dont know how a guy can "invent" things in 1916 when they are just miniature version of how people used to build houses in scandinavia since atleast 16th century...

[@lawrencegoralski3029]

TheNagiri he innovated into a miniature version, to allow kids access to their creative minds

[@Chaosfury50]

What's with the stupid head scratching you keep recommending? All I remember with that business is some kid with dandruff who used to do it all the time showering his dead skin over everything. Even nail-biting is a step up and that's still not a good habit. Stupid how some people can't live without spreading pieces of their body everywhere.

[@pocket83squared]

And yet others spread their frustrated, free-associative bile all over the internet in text form-as though the rest of us are even remotely interested. Go be neurotic elsewhere. You're getting your stuff all over my comments.
