From Michael J. McAllister and Janice K. McAllister;" We have just recently taken Skip Ellsworth’s seminar on log home construction. This class gave us all the confidence to build our own dream home. Skip explains everything in an informative, precise, and effective way. We both thoroughly enjoyed the class and highly recommend it to our friends."

From Delbert and Christy Van Natta; "We attended Skip Ellsworth’s log house building seminar. We feel that we have learned enough in these two days to build our own log home. Skip’s method is based on simplicity and ease of understanding, so that a person with no prior construction knowledge will be able to build their own log home. We are very excited and ready to start on our road to a mortgage-free life. Thanks, Skip."

From D. Reagen; "Thank you for sharing with me your invaluable knowledge and refreshing style of showing me how I can follow my goals to achieve anything I want and especially the freedom and confidence to build my own log house and ultimately start my log home construction business. Thanks, Skip."

From Michael Walken; "The two day course you taught provided me with all I need to know to really feel good about starting my new house and my new life. ‘The money you charge is a real joke compared to what I received from you and your course. Thank you. Thank you."

From Warren (Buzz) Hollenbeck; "This course has been not only enlightening and entertaining, but more than anything else, it provided vital comprehensive log home building information. I’ve never learned so much in so short a time."

From Jim Frykholm; "I just completed Skip Ellsworth’s class this last weekend. This two day class taught me everything I need to know to build a log house. Skip is a great teacher and presents this information in an easy to understand way. Virtually anyone can learn how to build a log house, and I recommend this class to anyone interested in this subject."

From Rodney R. Lewis; "Mr. Skip Ellsworth san wa tatakushi-no sensei desu. ICHI-BAN desu !!"

From Anne Alford and Scott Alford; "On February 19th and 20th my husband and I attended a log house building class that was taught by Skip Ellsworth. We are total novices at using tools but after the class we feel confident that we can build our own log home."

From Cathy Prichard and Nick Bistrup; "We just attended Skip’s two day seminar learning how to plan and build log homes. We were impressed with how straight-forward Skip is and were pleased with the thoroughness of his class. Had we not taken his course, there are many things we would not have knnown and many mistakes we would have made. I recommend this class to anyone who is interested in low cost (high return) housing."

From Rene Loomis; "What a great class ! Your dedication to, and knowledge of, quality log house building is not only informative, but inspirational."

From Bill Bogen; "I attended a two day course in log home building given by Skip Ellsworth. I found it to be extremely informative and helpful. After this course, I feel competent that I can build my own log home."

From Ms. Misheshomea; "I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much I enjoyed the two day seminar on log house building which I just completed. Thank your for your hospitality. I found your teaching to be very clear and very easy to understand. I would like to try to put together another seminar with all my friends attending. After learning about log homes I could never "buy" a conventional house to live in. Again, thank you and I hope to see you at the next meeting."

From Elaine Dale and Mark Dale; "We have just completed the weekend workshop in log construction offered by Skip Ellsworth through the University of Washington. We previously had virtually no log construction experience. Skip’s knowledge of construction techniques, shortcuts, and pitfalls to avoid will undoubtedly result in our saving much time and money. He is a gifted teacher and is able to clearly present all material in a way that is easy to comprehend, making the project much less intimidating to all involved. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in constructing a log home, and having the personal freedom this offers. Best regards,"

From Bruce Cox; "I came to this class with the expectation of a typical "classroom" type of informational class on how to build a log home. I not only got that, but I also got a firm grip on the things you should NOT do. Skip has so much knowledge to share . His information is invaluable. It was an excellent experience. Skip also has so much to share bout life philosophies."

From Mike Rayno; "I have always thought about building my own log house but never thought it would be realistic for me to try this. After spending just two days at Skip’s course he has given me the knowledge and confidence I need to go out and build a log home. He has given me a chance at the American Dream that would have never happened if it weren’t for Skip’s concern for other people to achieve their dream. Thanks."

From Shannon Bajor; "My husband, Bruce, and I spent two full days at Skip Ellsworth’s log house construction seminar. The seminar was held at Skip’s house which is a monumental log house, built by Skip. Whether you know anything about construction or not doesn’t matter. Skip explains every detail and everything that could happen when building your own log house. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience."

From Bruce and Shannon Bajor; "Bruce and I saw this bird-house and we thought it would be a unique way of thanking you once again. We attended the log house seminar on May 15 and 16. We really enjoyed it and got a lot of useful information from you. There are quite a few people from Bruce’s office wanting to take your next seminar. Take care."

From Becky Buschman; "I have just completed Skip’s course on log house building. I found the class to be extremely informative and inspirational. Skip is a first-rate teacher as well as an entertaining story-teller. I feel indebted to him for giving me the knowledge that I need to begin the process that will set me free."

From Mike Buschman; "It is the end of my two day course on log home construction taught by Skip Ellsworth. I came into the weekend knowing virtually nothing about logs, home construction, or the like. The experience was intense. I am physically and mentally drained. The education I received from Skip is invaluable, and I whole heartedly recommend this class to anyone, period – and especially to one who is contemplating building a log home. I leave happy, tired, excited, and satisfied. Thank you, Skip."

From Jim Platt; "Thank you very much for your patience and understanding – and for sharing your knowledge and experience about log home building. I am a building contractor professional and have been licensed and practicing my trade for over 23 years. I was very comfortable with your explanations to laymen of the many technically demanding concerns about construction. Your knowledge of log home building is unsurpassed and your attention to detail is personally rewarding. Thank you for allowing me to share in your course. I am looking forward to building my own log home."

From Alex Brooke; "What can I say about Skip ? He was an inspiration to each of us in the class. His teaching methods were very different and they helped us learn faster. I not only learned about log house building but also about ideas that I seldom come in contact with. He helped me learn how to survive in this world of stupid laws and regulations that are designed to not let you think for yourself. Skip’s class is one of the most eye-opening experiences that the average person will ever come in contact with. He makes you learn, and learn is what you do."

From Bob Brooke; "I came to this class looking for some information about log home building. After two days I feel confident that I would have made all the wrong choices for all the wrong reasons. I am now ready to look at these homes in a new light. Thanks for the education."

From Bobby Orovets (Cleveland Ohio); "I have just completed taking Skip Ellsworth’s course in log house building and wish that I had taken the course three years ago. I have never learned so much in such a short time as on this weekend. I will promote this course to everyone. Thank you."

From Erik Sebby; "Skip’s log home building course is the most attention getting, thought provoking course I’ve taken; from initial contact with Skip, and throughout the intensive two day course. Having had virtually no log home building experience, I come away with a wealth of information, and excitement, about the time my son Carl and I will build our own log cabin."

My name is Mary and Tammy Lynch; "My wife and I just completed Skip’s log home construction course. We found the course to be very beneficial. We found Skip’s unique eccentricity and teaching style a key to our enjoyment of the course."

From Judy Goring; "The log house building class I took from Skip Ellsworth was truly inspiring and empowering. Expecting only to learn how to construct a log home, I was grateful to learn that the seminar also provided information about a better way of life. I gained insight into what freedom in my life means to me and on ways to achieve financial independence. Skip explained each step clearly and made it totally understandable. I can indeed build my own home. He is a sincere and caring individual and I’m grateful to have taken his course."

From Stanton H. Brown, Jr. And Constance G. Brown; "We attended a two day log building course taught by Skip Ellsworth. Skip is very knowledgeable and very experienced in all types of log house construction. We learned how to build an excellent log house in this two day class. I highly recommend Skip and his class to you. You will not regret taking this class."

From Maya Brounsberger; "Skip Ellsworth’s course was more than a 22 hour immersion into the secrets of log house building. It was also an inspiring and entertaining discourse on the state of the union, financial independence, personal freedom and their interrelationship. I came into this class with a dream, a remote dream of someday building my own log home – and I left this class believing it is absolutely going to be done"

From Ken Sturdevant; "Skip’s class took a mysterious subject, log house building, and demystified it. He not only inspired me to take this project seriously, but he gave me the confidence to believe I could successfully complete it. Along the way, Skip also managed to expose me to his interesting philosophical views, and made me aware of the financial rewards that are possible to someone who would like to make a career out of log home building."

From James Yoshinori Takei; "I took skip’s two day class. His method of teaching makes the students feel they have the power to complete the log house. When students ask question he will answer. At times he will ask questions and the student answers the questions himself. What I learned from Skip is that the student already knows many of the answers, but he just must learn to think for himself. We are so used to have someone think for us that we just forget how. There are teachers who have the answers but can’t explain them so everyone can understand. Many times, teachers have an attitude "above the law" and student’s feelings get hurt, and they don’t want to learn. Skip works with the students, so the students want to learn. When you have the desire, one learns at a faster rate. What Skip gives is knowledge. It is now up the student to apply this knowledge. Each student is different. Skip wants you to think for yourself. This is freedom. At one time, freedom was what America was all about."

From Joshua Gordon; "Skip Ellsworth patiently, with charisma, explains and indoctrinates his students into having the knowledge and confidence to construct log homes. I am hereditarily familiar with the building trade, and learned much in Skip’s class that I never knew. Also, I can testify that many people who never built anything in their lives achieved confidence they could build their own log home and handle contingencies involved with actually doing it. I watched this happen all in 22 hours of instruction. It was amazing."

From Jim Wells; "I was totally at a loss about what to expect in this seminar. I did not know how or what you were going to teach. So, at first I was unsure about how I was being taught – but decided not to question anything. It all worked out for the best. Skip’s course taught me way more than just how to build a log house. Skip taught me things about life and society that I probably would never have otherwise known. After I apply this knowledge, I am sure that the words "freedom and happiness" will be very much a part of my vocabulary."

From Laura Rollins; "Skip Ellsworth is an honor to know. He opened a whole world of knowledge and an avenue of direction and possibilities, with clear cut direction and patience, and divulged the knowledge and skill to provide a superior house in all ways, to last for generations to come. It was truly the MOST worthwhile of weekends and experiences."

From Rob Aheu; "Subject; Log house class taught by Skip Ellsworth. 1) Skip’s knowledge about the subject is no doubt the best in the field. 2) Skip’s ability to teach and convey truths beyond just the subject matter is a rare quality."

From Mike Brandt; "Skip Ellsworth’s class in building log houses is the real deal if you want to invest in building or buying a log house. His method of teaching makes you think for yourself. It’s not just "here it is." You have to work for it. This way, when you are out there actually building your house you have confidence, the ability to decide between different options, and know how to build something that will last. The class is inspirational, humorous, and even insightful. It will be the best investment you’ll ever make."

From Gary Barnette; "Skip is a wonderful instructor. He took the mystery out of log home construction. If you want to know how to build an inexpensive home, take Skip’s class."

From Rob McBride; "After taking your two day class, I feel very confident about building and finishing a log home. I have no construction experience and wouldn’t have attempted to build any home on my own prior to taking your class. Thank you Skip for saving me a LOT of time and money. In appreciation..."

From Eric Rogers; "I would like to take the time to tell you how much I enjoyed your two day course on log home building. The information got from your course will enable me to begin construction of my vacation cabin. I hope to build a larger home after the vacation cabin is finished. Thanks once again, and I’ll send photos of our project when it gets underway."

From Craig Cypler; "A very informative and interesting class. I now have the knowledge and confidence to build my own log house. I’m not a man of many words. I get right to the point. Every minute of this class was more than worth my time. Thank you, Skip."
