Making my SHOP into a TROPICAL PARADISE for a Week - Full Build

In this video I take a massive ash log and carve it with chainsaws to make a log fire table with matching modern patio furniture. Then I convert my workshop into a tropical oasis with more than 70 plants, a sand floor, landscape lighting and fencing. This DIY style video has narration and asmr sound effects and covers the entire build process of making this unique fire table and hollywood video set.

Thanks for watching! I'll be starting the inside of my tiny house next so I should have a video on that in a couple months :)

[@ADVRider78]

Been waiting for the tiny House build-out :) Nicely done. I liked the Sedona drone footage.

[@darlomiguel]

GLHF Drew!

[@BrandonHarbour]

Someday I'd love a follow up video on some of your past projects. Do you still use them? What worked/didn't work. Stuff like that.

[@tymon995]

Maybe change the thumbnail picture on this video? I passed by it a few times before I realized it was your video. Just a recommendation, I see the view count is still low.

What mother would not be extremely proud of this young man? I’m an 85 year old mother, grandmother and just recently, a great grandmother. I’ve watch him finish out his tiny house (now I understand why they are NOT that cheap), except installing furnishings. Now, I watched his chair building. Excellent work young man. If only, all the street kids could get training doing this type of building. Kids that learn a good trade will never be in trouble. My suggestion to this craftsman, design something to assist you with your saw so you don’t need to lift it with your shoulder problem. Keep doing what you’re doing. Excellent

[@Evan-bc6nb]

The build was amazing, but completely transforming your shop was…just phenomenal!

[@js8914]

Great video! My son lives across the road from you, and I was there when you were dismantling your set. I'm a woodshop teacher in Waterloo and the 2 x 4's you put out at the road for free will come in handy in my class. Keep up the good work.

[@mintlilyy]

"Making my garage into a tropical paradise".. Jesus dude, you never cease to amaze me. 😀 You're such a creative human being. Thanks for sharing your projects with us. I can only imagine what it feels like to build your home yourself. I look forward seeing more of your stuff. 🙂

[@Somerandom1922]

Man, Drew, you're killing this KZbin thing. There aren't many channels that manage to become must watch channels, with relatively rare uploads and 30 min+ videos, and you've absolutely nailed it. I saw you'd uploaded this morning, so I went to my computer, opened the video in a new tab for when I got home just now. You've managed to achieve such a good look to your videos, with excellent pacing, excellent commentary and excellent projects to boot!

[@itsmrhunter]

Untrue. Broaden your horizons and stay away from short form content, you'll be surprised how many quality channels do this.

[@wadepg]

Bro, you can post anything you like. I love watching your channel. you`re one of the smartest engineers on youTube, hands down and I watch a LOT of channels. and you`re a Canadian like myself and that is rare to see on here. keep building and thinking and building. Ill be watching them all. stay blessed.

[@bec8922]

God damn you’re a teacher, a carpenter, a metal worker, a machine operator, a videographer, a photographer, a director, an editor of all the things, a set designer, a business owner, a KZbinr, a presenter, a script writer, a cinematographer, a lighting specialist, an electrician, an engineer, an inventor, a builder, a plumber, an artist, a graphic designer, a web designer, an audio technician, a speaker…. Anything else? I’m sure I missed something! Can you dance and sing too? Incredible video woweeee!

[@Ransom_Ryder]

Drew, big fan of your channel and projects. It’s a joy to see your success revealed in views by others. This video has the potential to reach millions of views. Set that log in a snowy field, wear Bermuda shorts and a tank top while holding a beverage. Change the thumb nail to the snowy scene and it will happen.

[@Edu.3]

You're an artist. Drop those outtakes anytime. It was an unexpected but nice intermission from the build.

You are so creative and have more energy than 100 people combined. I enjoy watching your videos. Great job.

[@1miluieleimile]

Wonderful as always! I hate to hear you say that some people don't view your work as the awesome talent and passion it is. Stay true to yourself and your commitment to hard work and quality. Many of us are cheering you on! And yes, behind the scenes, out takes, and life videos are all welcome! *Please people, actually listen to the video and read what he says. The tiny house interior video will be out in about 2 months. It takes time and money to complete such a project. Be patient.

[@KolChuBirke]

HOLY MOLY, that is epic! If you're ever bored, would be interesting to carve out a hollow in the log to put the propane tank in so there's no exposed hoses. You could cut a cookie off the end of the log first which would be reattached using magnets or hidden hinges for when you need to swap out the propane. Epic job!!

[@dadsquatch79]

Dude, the nature in the shop was RIDICULOUS. And I loved every bit of it. That was amazing.

[@azatooshort]

Dude Drew...your content and builds are UNMATCHED. Also yes, yes, and YES please to more outtakes of your life and drone footage.

[@Visdral]

HONEY THERES A NEW DREWBUILDS VIDEO!!!!

[@DrLamalama]

Not sure if its just me, but these "fire products" always have one flaw for me: When it gets colder, my feet and legs freeze, while my face melts away. The fire is just too high up. Sure, I can put my feet up, then my soles are cooked medium rare while everything else freezes. My body is weird i guess.

[@Thedrewshow559]

As a fellow Drew I’ll let you know that you’re making all Drew’s look better. Also your Drew merch will look good on my back.

[@Leeh187]

I watch A LOT an I mean A LOT of wood working videos some from the US an some from abroad an only a couple of people who are in Canada but honestly your the most down to earth human beings on KZbin the pics from Arizona you didn't have to post it but you did an it made watching the rest of the video more personal like your building it to show a friend or family member your a true inspiration to ME an I thank you for making me feel included in your journey to make that beautiful OASIS Fabulous work an don't change how you do things I love it thank you

Hey thanks so much! Many more cool ideas on the way.

[@HighTide_808]

My favorite channel on KZbin.

[@TomSedgman]

As another Canadian KZbinr often says: "a grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't!". You're being too modest about your welding skills, it looks amazing and they're obviously tough enough. Great to hear we'll be getting more tiny house content soon!

[@fros7ii558]

An idea I thought of for the propane tank would be maybe hollowing out one end of the log and saving the end cap of the log to use as a trap door. All in all a great video and a wonderful project!!!

You are absolutely incredible. And your skills are just getting better and better. Over the last two days I've discovered you on KZbin and Instagram and watched every single one of you videos on here and seen all of your posts on IG. Not to mention I thumbs up'd and ♥️'d all your posts. The ending of this video almost left me speechless and I CANNOT wait to see what your future has in store. Especially the interior of your Tiny Home. Which I'm so jealous of and can't wait to build my own. You make me believe this is a achievable dream for me. Thank you so much for the little look into your life, I'll definitely be buying some of your merch when I get my next pay. God bless, Drew!

[@thumbtak123]

A suggestion might be to build a fume hood, or whatever it is called, that is used for painting cars. You can collect the dust as you are sanding off parts of the log.

Some 1/4 inch or 3/4 inch copper pipe painted black and slid over the bolts that go into the log would finish it off lovely.

Excellent job and choice of projects. I especially appreciate the tropical experience, being raised myself in Florida. Only thing I would've done different is in trimming the 4x4s, I would've used a table saw and saved the 3/8" pieces for later and used as trim on another project. It would've saved a lot of tome on the planer too.
