Greg Zahn wanted to honor his grandfather’s woodworking legacy by building a cordwood tool shed in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. He asked if Cordwood Construction Resources LLC would teach an onsite workshop and we jumped at the chance. Photos & video below. 
Large doors will accommodate any size project. 
Note the pitchfork and saw embedded in the mortar.
Looking toward the lake. Nice view!
Beautiful recycled glass bottles make for a colorful glass display. Note that some of the colored bottles are placed on the outside. 
Tools of all shapes and sizes were embedded into the walls of the aptly named Cordwood Tool Shed.
A large window will grace this side of the shed.
Greg is an architect by profession and so his excellent drawing would naturally reflect his prolific skill set.
Folks attended from all over the country, but the majority were cheeseheads (aka Wisconsinites). 
Smiles, laughter and learning were the order of the day. 
As you can see, a good time was had by all.
Videos from the workshop (link below). Special thanks to Anna Trzyna of http://www.getinkahoots.com, who was incredibly helpful in getting the videos she took on my Youtube site. Thank you Anna! https://www.youtube.com/cordwoodconstruct
