Building a Tree into the Cabin Door! / Ep98 / Outsider Cabin Build

[@Phoeff99]

Don’t know if this was your intention but that door makes me think of a single trunk that had a grandfather a father and a son; three generations growing from the same family root. what a great idea

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

It wasn't my intention, but it's a beautiful sentiment. 🙂 One which you get full credit for.

[@Phoeff99]

You may not have intended it, but you chose that section for a reason. Sometimes we are led down a oth and we can’t explain why. Be well. It’s has been a pleasure to watch you and your father build this cabin and to watch you continue to build it in his absence but with his help nonetheless. 🙏🏻💕

[@Jackie-bz1nv]

Been watching your videos today, so very sorry about the loss of your father. My father had a massive heart attack at 65, he was looking forward to fishing. Never got to do it or see his grand kids. My condolences. Your cabin build is beautiful. We are watching this episode now. Great craftsmanship. 😊❤

[@deborahfischer5708]

Put a tarp down to protect your beautiful floor before you pour the epoxy. I'm blown away by the beauty and creativity in this cabin! I get excited to see every notification that comes in with a new episode! Just gorgeous!

[@pauldavidhaynes8243]

My thoughts exactly... Never mind dropping the off cuts on it. Agree though awesome cabin.

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Adds character faster. It’s a cabin floor that’ll see years worth of boot traffic, scrapes from kids moving furniture around to play & firewood

[@YAUUN]

Yup, even with your attention to detail, there WILL be leaks, you definitely need a tarp

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

@@YAUUN yep, I’ve watched a lot of woodturners adding epoxy to pieces & Ive seen many vacuum pots tossed bc of leaks. It’s worse then cement. Tarps are a necessity

[@andypair1571]

I have anxiety and i really like your videos late at night. Keep it up man, sorry for your loss.

[@alexkasacous]

Love your penny floor - who know, a descendant might be able to dig one up to pay for their whole house one day. Also, every time you enter this cabin, give thanks to your dad, he really did help you make this happen, teach your daughter to do the same.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Wouldn't that be something! Who knows, there might even be a rare penny or two in the floorboards now.

[@allan1353]

Very nice touch, I like to think of it like a family tree symbol

Seriously, a professional TV crew couldn't best the production of your videos. I've watched this cabin build from the start and it's by far and away the best there is. Just awesome.

[@corbeilville]

Mr. Outsider, I understand your life has changed since the passing of your Dad. You have a lot on your plate, but OH how I miss you and those wonderful videos you give us. Bless you.

[@mrrs8118]

[@MrTwidget69]

The cabin is coming along very nicely. The back door is going to be beautiful, can’t wait to see it finished. Stay safe in the woods

[@oldschoolboyscout]

Caulk the inside edges to avoid leaks. Pour the epoxy in llayers and use a heat gun inbetween layers to remove bubles. Have fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@prestongilbert4199]

I have been a dedicated viewer since you placed the stones to start the build. I must admit that your hair was the first thing that made me stop as I scrolled through my queue. It was unique. After I began to watch I realized that you are one of the most likeable, "teacherly", talented people on YT. You have hooked me and 1.05 M viewers since that day. Watching you mill the lumber and applying the finish to a floor that generations in your family will walk on gave me a sudden pang of missing your dad. As I watched though, I thought of the friend of my family that officiated at my mothers funeral. He used the parable of a bundle of sticks being stronger than the sticks individually. You have 1.05 M sticks around the world in your bundle. Even though I know you miss him terribly you have the strength of all of us behind you. I say this as a 71 year old father of three.

[@joshuaboey4196]

Hi Dear Outsider, am miss you so much,Glad to see you are back. Pray you will be strong and keep out of your grife. keep on fellow! May Lord Jesus be with your family. Greeting From Canada

[@richardthomas1743]

[@hulkcommander]

Great job as usual! I’ve mentioned this before but it bears repeating. Your videos are excellent! You are an accomplished cinematographer, writer, director, sound engineer, editor, and all around great producer. I’m sure that the beauty of the cabin and it’s surroundings are best enjoyed in person but your videos really draw the viewer into your world. Allowing us to feel as though we are actually there. Continue to take excellent care of yourself and your family. May God bless and keep you.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you my friend for your kind and thoughtful words. 🙂🙏 God bless.

[@Richie8a8y]

I haven’t even seen a minute of this video but I got emotional seeing the door in the preview still. It is so utterly organic. As Father and Son they’ve built a beautiful cabin and every bit of it is genius of geometry. The door - it is, well it is the soul of stewardship. It tells the whole story - at least as I see it - how it was felled - why it was felled - shows the reverence for the life of the forest. And as the one of a cluster of three evokes the Trinity - Father Son and Holy Ghost.

[@tommmarree3689]

BLESSINGS to the Outsider family!!

[@Fatlax73]

Crazy to think I've been watching you build this cabin for almost 5 years. You and your dad have done some incredible work that will last a lifetime. It's so weird not seeing your dad around in the videos helping out but we all know he's still there and he is still helping you along on this project.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Wow 5 years! Thanks for faithfully following along with us through the years. ...I sure miss having my dad there, but it brings me comfort to continue working on the cabin we built together.

[@stuartrinker]

Agreed it has been an incredible journey.

[@Jason_xofilos]

[@cheryljoynson7053]

Wow brilliant. I miss seeing your Dad. I'm sure he would be so proud of you. 👏🇬🇧

[@eloleddie]

That is simply a very beautifully finished floor, it couldn’t be any better! May you and your wife and daughter enjoy feasting in this little cabin amidst many memories you have in building it for the enjoyment of all, to the glory of the Father’s Name and now in thankfulness to Him for His everlasting faithfulness.

[@waddeym]

This is some of the most creative details I have seen on a cabin build. I wish you much luck on your epoxy pour. that is a lot of epoxy.

[@KurvedRK]

Hey just a tip, to prevent air bubbles in the epoxy it’s wise to do the pour after the hottest part of the day. The wood wil evaporate a little air whilst warming up.

[@stephenfrench4417]

or run a hot flame across the mould to draw the air out. Humidity though will cause flaws if not addressed in the process of production

[@FredD63]

@@stephenfrench4417 It’s better to use a heat gun as the torch will blow the epoxy around in the mold

[@stephenfrench4417]

@@FredD63 your right in that secret is gentle warm air NOT direct heat or pressurized air which will blow holes or sinks into the surface

[@lennym1636]

And have a heat gun, safer then a torch to run it over areas with bubbles...

a heat gun or blow torch can help work the bubbles out as well....

[@anthonyrondolino8148]

As always, great stuff. I particularly liked the shot from the cedar trees perspective when it was hooked up to the tractor bring pulled down. A lot of work by you going into preparing that with planning, camera placement & video editing. We appreciate your efforts and many skills.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Well, it took a lot of convincing to get the cedar tree to hold the camera for me while I pulled it down, but it was worth it. 😄😋 Anyway, much appreciated my friend!

[@robleigh461]

I really love the penny detail. That floor is beautiful. And I'm very sorry about the loss of your dad--I've enjoyed watching the two of you build your cabin. As I was watching this episode, I thought one idea would be to carry out that coin detail in tribute to him, by insetting two coins--one minted the year of his birth, and one the year of his passing--in the frame above the door he helped you build. It would symbolize his watching over all who enter your home through that door.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

That's a really nice idea! Thank you, my friend.

[@sherrieaustin0316]

As we were watching your video, I told my husband that your cabin from the air looks like a cross. We so very much enjoy your videos. May God Richly Bless your family with HIS LOVE.

One of my favorite things about your channel is you don't rely on those annoying time lapses. You also don't use that same-old music that a lot of KZbinrs are so dependent on. Your floor, your doors, everything is a work of art. What a remarkable space you are creating and what a lovely reminder of your father's memory.

What an amazing cabin. It’s a real treasure for generations. 👍🏻

[@captaincatastrophe5143]

Your cabin is beautiful and the idea for your back door is even more so. As a hobbyist who works with epoxy, I'm highly recommending you stop by a craft store to look for a can of something called "Apel mould release" or at least something similar that specifically says it works for resin. It's a spray on lubricant that puts about two to three microns worth of protective layering over whatever surface you're laying it on, and it makes demolding resin and epoxy casts much easier to deal with. The clear packing tape you talked about using is also a great idea to go with but you'll have to do some sanding on the surfaces in contact with said tape in order to get rid of any lines that laying down the tape in slight overlaps would produce. Blessed be to you, to your family, and your father's spirit who I know is still watching over that cabin.

[@b5maddog]

Thank you my friend. All great suggestions! 🙂👍

[@bellepfeiffer3630]

One thing the ladies in my quilt guild have taught me is to sign and give info for your work. Carve a "made by" and date somewhere on the doors, write some details telling the cabin's story, put it in some kind of container plaque somewhere in the cabin. A hundred years from now, someone will want to know its story. You're "painting" a 3 dimentional piece of art, often non-paint artists forget to sign their creation. Every quilt has a story and yours is made of wood. The floor and doors are beautiful along with everything else.
