Next I made this face I also drilled some big ole pilot holes so the screws I used would reach through the log into the other pieces

More pilot holes and screws My nephew is getting the hang of all this

My nephew helped. He was nervous, but hung in there. Also, pilot holes and some screws socked everything together nice and tight.
