Well guys. I’m from the U.K., I’m 60 years old and I’ve just sat and watched this 2.5hr building marathon and couldn’t stop watching. You both should be extremely proud of what you’ve achieved here. Even your parents and families should be proud too. Nobody since a long era ago have built houses with hand tools. I admire you both for your stamina and the duration this build must have taken. Give yourselves a big pat on the back. I look forward to seeing the day you hear the laughter of children too, enjoying the fruits of your hard labour. Well done again guys

I could not agree more. I was a roofer most my life and I was a carpenter for a while, but just a stick framer. I didn't even do the Punch-Out work. As a Master Carpenter you're doing precise stuff that requires craftsmanship and taking carpentry to an artistic level. Not just throwing a bunch of 2x4's together like me when I was framing. You know what you're talkin about my grandfather was a master carpenter too. So I know exactly what those two words entail. You're an master of your craft and an artisan and artist. Not just a construction worker.

Nick & Maela, I have to say I have watched a lot of off-grid cabin builds to get ideas for my build and I have to say this is by far one of the best videos I have seen to date! I found it interesting using an interlocking post and beam style build and with basic hand tools! There are also a lot of couples out there doing these types of builds and you two really grabbed my attention! I don't care where in the world you are, but if we had more young couples like you two supporting each other to build something you both can be proud of and cherish for decades to come, this world would be a better place! I say that sincerely! The teamwork is beyond words and super proud of you two on that fact alone! I'm older and in my mid-50s in Central Ohio USA, and recovering from reconstructive knee surgery so I plan on using modern tools and equipment to assist me, but I have found your videos very insightful with a lot of techniques I plan on incorporating. Thank you for sharing! I'm going to get a small portable sawmill to mill 8 x 8 square posts and 6 x 6, and 4 x 4 posts for the rest and do my joints the same way you two did! Great craftsmanship in my view! You two really did a super fantastic job not just with your cabin build but with your video and editing! Major kudos for being inspiring on many fronts and I wish you two much love, happiness, and good health for decades to come! I look forward to watching more of your awesome videos!

I don't know what experience you have but you have the smarts and more importantly the will it takes. The roof rafters will wick water through the wood. I hope you cover the cut ends with a good high quality finish since the roof decking and metal do not extend past the cut ends. I'm not trying to pick apart your build just want it to last a long time cuz you put alot into it. The dwelling will be a part of you I hope for life.

I like the fact that there is no background music you can hear nature And that this is not a timelapse Great work you guy's, you inspire me to not give up on carpentry

You are both to be congratulated on your commitment and initiative in building your cabin. I am 77 and have worked with wood in one way or anther for many years. I have spent 2.5 hours of pure enjoyment watching the way you work together, sharing all the various tasks. I commend your tenacity. Obviously you have only shown a section of each task necessary, e.g. cutting down the trees and stripping off the bark, this in itself a major undertaking to provide all the timber necessary. Equally, I commend you on the quality of your videos, which in my opinion is of a professional standard. May you both enjoy many years of life together in this beautiful home that you have created.

I give you two much respect for the hard work and dedication you put into this house! In today's modern technological society everyone has become lazy and forgotten what hard work is! Thank you for sharing your hard work and determination to accomplish such a beautiful home and using only hand tools! Much respect to the both of you and many happy and joyous years in this awesome house!

HGTV can’t complete with how satisfying watching you build this beautiful cabin! All while watching I was saying to myself, I wonder how much they would charge to make me a log cabin🤣. Your attention to detail did not go unnoticed! You should be proud of yourselves. Well done!

Amazing....so glad to see that all these hand tools are so beautifully used...my father built our first home in Canada with hand tools and kept them to pass on to family grandkids. Your home will be your pride piece... wonderful achievement....you two certainly work well together ❤

This is beyond amazing. I have not seen anyone else on KZbin use hand tools the way you guys have, to build an entire log cabin; and the cabin looks amazing! This is a huge dream of ours, to be able to build a log cabin like this with hand tools one day.

This is so visually satisfying. What craftsmanship, it is very impressive. I'm truly at awe that you did it all with just hand tools and serious determination. I commend you both to a job well done.

Gonna be honest.... I judged books by covers when I started on this video. You both look so young and inexperienced and WOW, did you prove my assumptions wrong (at least the inexperienced part)! You are not builders, you are craftsmen. The patience, skill and perseverance to complete this incredible build is off the charts. I learned several techniques watching this that I will apply. Congrats on building your dream home guys!

The dedication and commitment of these two is incredible. They were made for each other and they compliment each other. There is hardly any talking on these video because I think they read each other's thoughts they are so connected. Great ideas and beautiful house. May God bless your lives and your future family

I'm 65 and live in Montana USA. My husband and I did many building projects in our 20 years together, but never anything so grand as this! You two did an amazing job!! And sir, you are blessed to have a wife capable of dealing with heights. I could go up maybe ten feet on a ladder and that was about it. She is to be commended! Congratulations on a job very well done and may you enjoy your home for many decades to come!❤

What a team! Just found this vid and had to stop at approx 20 minutes in to comment. Nick your faith in Maela to hold the spike while she hammers it in with a sledge hammer is awesome! There are very few people with that kind of confidence in folks. You two are amazing

Thought I’m going to watch for 5 minutes but ended up watching the entire show. This video showcase the skill & knowledge, team work & dedication. Every detail was so meticulously done and i was amazed seeing the final product. I was hoping to see how the cabin was furnished but it wasn’t shown.

OMG, I couldn't stop watching! Where did you learn all of these skills? You both are so young, talented and work together perfectly! I was totally gob smacked. And I noticed you didn't use any electric or battery operated tools. Wow, you should teach your craftsmanship to others. Totally amazing. Whoever shot your videos is top of the line! I seriously enjoyed every second and will watch every video you make. So impressed, outstanding job you two!!!!

To @debprather4241. You can't teach what these guys have. They are borne engineers. They are borne with this ability to instantly see the problem in its entirety and somehow produce the optimum result. Its a gift like art and music. So gratifying to see them working in such harmony where, to a great extent, speech is superfluous. I am an engineer, all my forebears have been, and so are my kids and grandkids, it's in their genes. Love the fact they use hand tools and make it look so easy. There is a great deal of native skill being demonstrated here. Again their single minded "push on with it" approach comes through. If you know what to look for, there is an amazing amount to see in this video. I am an 82 yo Brit still very fitt and functional. Thanks guys an inspiration. I shall " Keep buggering on" as Winney (Churchill) was wont to say. So I can remain active for many more years. Oh if you get a bit stuck on an item. LET FORM FOLLOW FUNCTION. it usually points in the right direction
