Good morning,
I hope this email finds you well. I am
writing to invite you to attend the Frontier
Builders, Inc. OPEN HOUSE to be held on
Saturday, April 26 from 8:00 am- 12:00 pm at
Frontier Builders, Inc. workshop located at
6373 Highway 45 in Land O' Lakes WI 54540.
This open house is held in conjunction with
the Great Lakes Log Crafters Association's
annual conference held in Land O' Lakes WI
on April 25-26, 2025.
After over four years of development,
Frontier Builders, Inc. Log Crafters are
excited to be "launching" the application of
our new ABB CNC Robotic Technology. With
the integration of this technology , we now
offer precision-crafted "piece-on-piece" log
home designs with vertical post corners.
Custom software built by
Robotic Solutions Inc. utilized by an ABB
Robot streamlines design, production, and
assembly, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
This innovation enhances craftsmanship while
reducing costs, making high-quality log
homes more affordable.
All details about the conference are listed
