FAVORITE ITEM: CSBK1 - Commercial Series Beginner's Kit

What You Like Best About It: This is a great kit to begin building log furniture. It includes everything you need to get started (minus the drill & Log Lock). Just add logs, and a drill and you can make a variety of furniture pieces. The 1-1/2" size tenon is large enough to have structural strength and yest still small enough to not look out of place on smaller pieces of furniture.

How it Makes Building Log Furniture Easier: This kit also features the 60° Tapered Shoulder which is easy to start on the logs, looks great and also allows you to cut an inch larger log than if using a radius shoulder cutter.

Who Do You Recommend the Product to? To people who are just getting started and who do not want to invest a lot of money before they see if they like building log furniture. It's also an economical kit if you only have a few pieces of furniture to build.

FAVORITE ITEM: ISK5N - Industrial Series Professional Kit

What you like best about it: If you want to make one purchase, this should be it! It is well worth every penny since it includes a huge variety of sizes and also has a Lifetime Guarantee. 

How it makes building log furniture easier: There are so many reasons why, but the main ones would probably be: 1. They have a variety of sizes so you can easily make a wide range of products, and 2. They are Premium tenon cutters which means they are extremely durable, cut well and also have additional features like the in-sight measurement system to let you have more control over the tenons themselves.

Who would you recommend the product to? Absolutely everyone. Spend the extra to get this kit and you won't ever need to buy another tenon cutter. It's well worth every penny.
