A Simple Project Became Anything But That / Off Grid LOG CABIN Building

[@donaugustine4906]

I'm a old guy soon to be 87 all I can say is, you are a fantastic father in teaching, learning and showing interest in your children and wife. I enjoy your videos of your life.

[@Dennis-eh2vx]

The craftsmanship, dedication, and perseverance you share with us and the calmness you radiate are so unique and admirable that you absolutely deserve the beautiful words and credits you get! And how you've filmed it all, from the moment of lifting the heavy logs on your own using your tractor from different angels until today is also beautiful! I still enjoy it and always look forward to the next one. Keep up the good work!

[@kevins_campfire]

That sunset through the windows as you're shearing the bark from the tree near the beginning of the video....wow

[@williamgriffin7866]

Watching you and your wife interact with your children I can see the patience that you both have with you kids, both of you are fantastic parents good on you brother ☮️

[@MichelleLindsay-rj9tb]

I’m always in awe in everything that you accomplish. You have been given the abilities from God to build, design and utilize anything from His creative garden of life to become a magnificent picturesque landscape together with your family. You definitely are a genius who can absolutely beautify anything you touch. Your mind must be working nonstop to truly become a complete digest of a labor of love 24/7. God Bless you Nik and you precious family. ❤️🇺🇸

[@catritz]

I've watched you from the beginning and there's no denying your talent and gift. Everybody has such wonderful comments, as I did myself, from time to time... However, in regards to this project, I have "No Comment" on the grounds that I will be booed and hissed :) With that said, I hope you're not running out of ideas. If you are, get busy thinking bigger and harder... I know you can do it...

[@solitairesmith3553]

I am always in awe of this cabin. And this stove is absolutely perfect. I really enjoy seeing your family always around you as you build this masterpiece of a cabin. I am grateful that you have allowed us to admire your journey as you build your cabin .

[@Davidjeng049]

It is always a pleasure to watch, as I have been here when you first started stripping the logs for the cabin. The dedication to detail is first class.

[@Hanglap9296]

[@dmounts9999]

I could not agree more. I sometimes get so busy that I forget. It is always great to catch up with the natural improvements/additions you have made Nik.

[@Brokenbones2]

I think that guy in Ontario Canada watches you to steal all your ideas Nik! Thanks for being the real thing!!!

[@lindacarruthers3423]

Even the simple household equipment and furnishings you turn into a work of art . Your clothes dryer is lovely .

[@laszlodesimon4768]

Nik, I love how you work with the wood, with such harmony, and even stop to watch the birds. A true person who loves their surroundings.

[@fluidgroover]

Nik, Such beautiful attention you put into your goals. You are a true inspiration to all of us armchair builders! Your home is beautiful.

[@theconservativeconvict6353]

As a logger here in the NW of America I can really appreciate that clothes drying rack! Super cool dude👍🏻 Always excited when I see one of your videos posted! Keep it up 🤙🏻

[@JourneymanJacob]

Nik- There’s a part of me, and probably most of the viewers here, that wants to break free of the modern world and live in the sanctuary of the old world. I personally am thankful that you’ve shared your world with me, and I yearn even more to follow your footsteps.

[@epamanonda1]

The look on the little girls face, when she mastered the platting, and supervising Dad on his attempt... Priceless.😊👌❤️

[@clairewink7058]

Always good to see you and the family, Nik. You are meditative, yourself. Thanks for sharing what you do. Best wishes to you from Hampshire, UK.

[@mkurtanjek1]

...lep pozdrav izpod Pohorja Nik! Z velikim veseljem sledim tvojim vlogom, posebaj pa mi je všeč kako z veliko ljubeznijo in predanostjo slediš svoji viziji.... Tudi tvoja družinica je čudovita, prav tako način kako vzgajata otroke v pridne in ustvarjalne ljudi. Da nebom preveč osladen pa še ena rahlo kritična....v vseh teh letih odkar spremljam tvoje prispevke tvoje drage in otrok še nisem slišal spregovoriti slovenske besede ali pa se motim? Italijanski jezik imam sicer rad in ga tudi precej razumem , vem, da je to tudi njihov materin jezik pa vseeno bi bilo lepo tudi iz njihovih ust slišati tudi kako slovensko besedo.......

[@johnmarlow2887]

I loved to watch your wife teaching the young princess how to create the 'string' of knots. It brought back many happy hours of doing the same things with my children.

[@TheJimcrooks800]

The clothes airer/dryer is a wonderful piece of art. Natural markings by the beetles and then touches of artistry from your wife and children in the macramé ropes. Also, the simple engineering in teh pulley system. Art, engineering, craftsmanship all in one piece. Lovely natural addition to provide a practical and beautiful addition to your home. we also see the kitchen beginning to take shape and we look forward to seeing what you do there!

[@denniscarreno8151]

You are not just a good craftsman , but you shown a true artist and dedication to your vision....there not people in this world that has your talent and passion to see it through right at the end...well done Nik! God bless people like you..

[@stubby8663]

That wood looks very nice Nik with all the groves that the beetles cut into it. It doesn't matter how long it took you, as long as "You" are happy with it. You will remember all the time you spent to get it just right every time you look at it for years to come and know it was done by "Your" hands. Enjoyed the video and Thank as always.

[@BjornBear21]

Looking great my friend. Beautiful cabin and beautiful family. God Bless.

[@yorki9585]

I always love your little 'stop and smell the roses' moments. Especially with the birds. Says alot about your character. You have a good soul and it's always a pleasure to watch you do your thing.

[@runninonempty820]

Nik, I tell everyone I know about your channel. It gives me great pleasure to share what amazing things you do.

[@peterhill1944]

Brilliant! Combining Art with function is the mark of a true craftsman.

[@scottsorby7966]

Nik I always enjoy watching your videos but seeing the little ones smile when she made her first braid was magical,, and your own warm and genuine smile was that of a man who very much enjoyed learning a new skill when you made your own braid,, these insight into your family life are wonderful, thank you so much for sharing your build and your family with us

[@Aggaliano]

Beautiful as everything you do. Thank you Nik

[@breakingberg4130]

What a beautiful edition to the cabin. In my opinion details like these are always worth the effort since they bring back memories which otherwise easily would have been forgotten about. These videos are an inspiration to me as an 18 year old, so keep it up Nik👍🏻😎

[@jameswulzen590]

It's so good to hear from a teenager interested in this way of building. This man is an artist along with being a well thought out builder with a great minds eye to work with.

[@___PK__]

He's a good man to look up to. Some/most never acquire these hard fought skills!

[@edfroelich6528]

Nik, Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. So many wonderful memories you have created with your family and the millions of people watching on youtube. May God keep you safe and healthy.

[@emericto]

When you put the jacket on I was like "ooooh, it's amazing". Best drying rack I will ever see in my life for sure

[@martincarberry8560]

You are a good man and you have a beautiful family. I love how you constantly set and accomplish your goals.

[@ELBRUSMEDIA]

4:18 beautiful sunset! great frame😍😍😍

[@ardenfreyjr.5500]

Nik, I live in Michigan and I wait all the time to see your videos. The skills that you show may not be professional but your artistic abilities and quality of work are a joy to watch and when you include your family shows your commitment to them and your mission as a husband and father. Blessings to you and your family in all of your endevers.

[@inmyopinion6836]

Building a beautiful world for life. Respect.

[@vmi1976]

Nik I've been with you since you cut down the first tree and have enjoyed, and been inspired by every video. You are a wonderful craftsman and have a beautiful family by the way. Keep on keeping on brother. Look forward to future vids. Alan

[@glennwolfe1663]

Nik, that's an awesome clothes dryer. Thanks for sharing👍👍👍👍👍😺🤗🐺🇺🇸

[@glimmermomma4373]

All I have to say is: YOUR FAMILY IS THE BOMB!!! It’s nice to see kids being kids, not sitting on lazy behinds and learning!!

[@MrMixa007]

Обалденная идея! Очень классное видео с семейными ценностями, прогулками по лесу и крайне рукастым мастером! Спасибо!

[@greyfoxice]

Your daughter had great focus. I'm sure your proud of her she is going to be a smart gal.

[@richardtaylor6300]

534k subscribers, it's safe to say Nik is one of the most watched craftsmen on KZbin. He has certainly built the most famous log cabin on KZbin. We'll done Nik.👍

[@nancysmith4529]

Your right a simple project that was time consuming. But look how it turned into a beautiful project. Anything you do for the family and you isn’t about time but your love of family and the land! Your a hard worker no matter your project. You can see that in everything you do. What a beautiful home and the land is stunning. It’s wonderful how you all work on projects together. You have a wonderful family.

[@williambryant5946]

You'll have to build yourself a large workshop after you finish the bathroom/sauna. If you plan on having livestock and building a barn for them you could make it big enough to include a workshop. I'd love to see you build a huge log barn. With your skills I'm sure it would look amazing. This project turned out awesome. The bug trails through the wood makes it very interesting. I'm looking forward to watching you do more projects of building things you need in the cabin. More furniture maybe?

[@loading4354]

And i'm happy that i'm part of this journey. Since episode 1 and now we're almost there.

[@AngelYega]

Te damos gracias a ti, por ayudar con tus videos y las gravaciones a ser, como bien dices, constantes y fijarnos objetivos. Te sigo, desde que empezaste cortando los primeros árboles para construir tu sueño y que al final , se ha convertido en parte de mi día a día. Recibe mi gratitud y mis felicitaciones.Siempre adelante. Desde Cataluña,un fuerte abrazo We thank you for helping with your videos and recordings to be, as you say, constant and set goals. I follow you, since you started cutting the first trees to build your dream and that in the end, it has become part of my day to day. Receive my gratitude and my congratulations. Always forward.From Catalonia, a big hug

[@michaelshearer3559]

big thanks to Nik, and his beautiful family. We all appreciate your example in building, creating, and nature.

[@Pandilla61]

Nik, you are an artist, you have a vision and you make it come to fruition. You have such a talent and I admire you for that. I will watch youir videos until there aren't anymore to watch. Stay safe and dry. You wife is beautiful.

[@dianesanford5609]

The sunset out the window is amazing!!!

[@grokeffer6226]

You're an exceptional craftsman: a real artist. I hope you and your Loved ones stay safe.

[@dennisguethe8296]

Nik you have such an artistic eye to turn items from nature into truly unique pieces of interest, kudos. We all so enjoy watching a true master plying his skills making a one of a kind warm, loving home.

[@donnamealy4877]

Typical of what I’ve seen from you, my artistic friend. This is ingenious and beautiful.

[@yvonnelucas-cessna4458]

Maybe too much for a clothes hanger? Nope, it's a perfect idea!!! I sure am enjoying watching your videos. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@natt7530]

I accidentally saw your chanel, i thought i will see a little bit. I am so impressive your master piece and you have family around. No word to say. Thanks for creating and showing your skills to the public. It is so incredibly!!!👍👍👍

[@bonacker9762]

Nic, I have been watching you build your lig home.... I have to say your wood working skills and patience are a blessing to watch. You have made me take more time in the little wood working jobs that I do. I just wish I was 25 years younger to start a project like you have done. I hope you can pass your craftsmanship to your children for future generations of your family to enjoy. My best to you an yours from Fortuna. David California.

[@arthurf.cleary4750]

Thanks again for your uplifting words. It is nice to share the inspiration in living everyday doing something that's fulfilling.

[@jeanhawken4482]

The workmanship always amazing. your family truly warm and loving.

[@alexkasacous]

I love the look of the bug trails. They are nature's hieroglyphics reminding us everything we are, use, eat, and see are part of life.

[@janeyhazelwood9894]

I have enjoyed following your build every step of the way. Your video's are excuted perfecftly, your craftmanship is impeccable in keeping with the natural flow of the wood. You should be very proud that you're actually building your dream. In the end I know you'll be satified that you accomplished something so grand. There's a pride in knowing you've took something from nature and sculpted it with your hands into something so beautiful. It's an honor to watch someone put in all the hard work and stick with it until it's complete. You Sir are an inspiration to us all. Looking forward to more video's to come.

[@scottyj8500]

Great video, you and your family are creating fantastic memories, stay safe and god bless!!

[@rentregagnant]

[ 21:00-23:00 ] is adorable... the best part of the whole thing, in my view.

[@darrenl2992]

Nik please continue to take your time and build your beautiful cabin at your own pace, I've gained so much from watching this build from the beginning. The way you present your videos is unlike so many on KZbin, I enjoy the balance of the building mixed with your observations of the nature, weather and sounds that surround you. Not many people truly leave a legacy in life but your cabin will shine on for many generations to come I'm sure of it. The dedication and care with how you work on the cabin and with your family and friends is a credit to you. Good luck for the future and I look forward to many more relaxing build instalments.

[@ahmadreza2497]

Teaching Poppy to tie a rope design!! Sweet...REAL family life! Much love!!

[@nickbremner6274]

This is a wonderful addition to your cabin Nik, well done. You use a lot of very sharp tools in this episode - a spokeshave, a sheath knife and chisels - it would interest me to see you sharpen these. I sharpen my chisels and knives but my spokeshave hasn't been used enough to need sharpening yet and I don't really know how to do this efficiently. Thank you Nick from Hampshire, UK.

[@curtisep5885]

Man I love the way your SUPER CREATIVE brain works! Wonderful. Its a pleasure watching the journey. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@margreetanceaux3906]

Love your daughter’s plait-work - and the smile on her face!

[@sonicclang]

Well done, Nik. Your craftsmanship and dedication are so admirable. I've been following your cabin build for just over 2 years now and I get excited every time I see you've released a new video. I smiled the entire time your wife was showing your daughter how to tie the knots :) it made me feel so good inside to see what kind of family man you are.

[@seantap1415]

Something easy to achieve is usually not worth achieving. Love your videos.

[@digitaIgorilla]

Sometimes the best projects start with an accidental discovery 😁 Those beetles did a beautiful design job

[@earlytw]

Looks like cavedrawings, nice work.

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

I always love to see your videos. Not only the craftsmanship, artistry, and sheer dogged perseverance you bring to your work, but also the peacefulness, and the soothing ambience of your videos. They consistently lighten my mood and brighten my day.

[@JavierPerez-tb4zy]

Nik No te rindas. Eres una inspiración para muchas personas. No solo por la cabaña sino por la magnífica relación que tienes con tu mujer y como ambos estáis educando a vuestros hijos.

[@yummboy2]

Bravo! Why rush when you don't have to? Taking one's time encourages creative expression!

[@caronboler4048]

I am watching and enjoying the adventure that you have brought me on from Sydney, Australia. I thank you. Your family is so lovely.

[@peterthibeaux007]

Wow just amazing. I've seen a lot of cabin builds but this one was by far my favorite, I thought I smelled sawdust in my office. Shout out from Oakland California. I played pro basketball in 4 European countries and met some of the most amazing people. Beautiful family as well. I just subscribed.

[@jerryf609]

Nik, a great video of your craftsmanship. You have a wonderful family. I enjoyed watching your wife teach your daughter how to tie the ropes. The music was great. I relaxed viewing your work after a stressful few days for me. Thank you.

[@ChristiansModellbahn]

Hello Nik, I'm enjoying every new video of your building process and like you said at the end, your work is inspiring other people ;) I always remember how I "found" your videos, I startet with the 2h summary of season 1. Today I'm looking forward to every weekend, hoping for a new video and I hope, in a nearby future, I will have the possibility to build my dreamhouse too... It is taking quite a lot of time to build it by yourself, but it is worth to see the building process and like you said: there are a lot of things you can do how you want them to be... Keep up your work! It is a pleasure to watch you living your dream! Greetings from Germany!

[@ltxslrbf]

I continue to be blown away by the attention to detail that you are putting into this cabin Nik. You make some of the most anticipated content on KZbin, and I very much look forward to viewing the next step in the process for this cabin. Thank you for sharing your work, and those precious moments with family.

[@edro3838]

Continue on Nik, I always enjoy watching the videos.

[@laurahaughton4523]

That beetle marked wood came up beautifully and such a useful thing to have made. Take care and stay safe 🌷👍😊

[@joycehoover8786]

Nik, first time commenting on your videos. The word that comes to mind is that you honor the wood 🪵. Bring out the beauty and a purpose of it.

[@2putts2win]

Great video Nik, I see the kitchen counters are taking shape as well. The best things in life are not seldom the easiest to attain and your beautiful log home is definitely an example. Your log home will stand the test of time and someday your daughter will be passing these memories onto her children and grandchildren. Love your channel Nik.

[@prosperfireson]

Good idea Nik. You had me though. I could not figure out what you were building. hahaha My second favorite thing about your videos is the way you have your family around you participating and experiencing the building of your cabin. As always I wish you and your family all the best man. Pete Hollister, CA

[@1957jmhiser1]

Since it is on a pulley, I'd put rebar instead of rope, or aluminum or copper pipes on top of the wood to hang the clothes on hangers. You could also put a metal screen on the top of it and dry vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers while the clothes are drying. Gorgeous wood.

[@key4us2c]

Great inspiration for wisdom of family life, work ethic, creativity, and freedom to pursue one's happiness. Not to mention a personal set of impressive skills. Not only yours, but your whole family exhibits talents and always learning more. As others have commented, just watching your channel is meditative and I find educational in so many ways. Thank you all for sharing, it is setting a much needed positive example of family life world wide. A Priceless contribution to humanity...
