With a winter storm on the way, I had to make a DIY router sled to plane my epoxy door, and get it loaded onto the tractor before the squalls hit. I then returned a few days later, to do some maintenance work at the log cabin.

You better be careful putting clothing too close to the woodstove. My uncles hunting boots caught fire one night doing that. Thank God someone was sleeping on the couch n caught it.

[@rjonzun5828]

You have not disappointed me on the cabin interior. Love it.

[@juliebaker6969]

I hope you filmed you working on the door, I would love to see that in a future video.

[@khut2u]

The door is so cool, but the ingenuity in making a planing sled on site is extraordinary.

[@stevencjones5236]

I was gonna say the exact same thing. He and his dad have always come up with such resourceful, clever ideas for accomplishing challenging tasks.

[@timmiller4875]

Yea, what he said! Brilliant…

[@robertcolvin3182]

Yours is a terrific channel for so many reasons. Your relationship with your dad resonates with many of us, even tho he is now gone, the cabin and all that it took the two of you to build still stands as a home full of memories. Great ones. Watching the way you plan and execute each piece of the build and now, occupy is always fun. I for one, would enjoy watching you repair the snow cat and snowmobile but I'm a little wired that way... Thanks for sharing your great adventure...always fun to look forward to and to watch. :)

I too would enjoy watching mechanical repairs to the snowcat and snow machine.

I read your comment after I basically wrote the same thing about doing the mechanic repair. So I agree completely 💯😃😅😅

Got to say one of the best parts of this whole build was watching you and your dad build that front door, beautiful!!

[@RiverRat904]

Man.... I just finally saw your 3 hour video last night and have binged all since then. What a journey.... what a cabin.... what an experience. The memories of you and your father building that place will always come to mind whenever you're there. Thank you for sharing the adventure so far with us. I'm very much looking forward to you finishing the place and finally building a PORCH!! Come on man.... gotta get that done. Lol. I have a feeling you'll never be done with this masterpiece. There will always be ideas popping up to build. Keep up the great work!! Fun to watch!

[@paullewis4912]

That's so funny you say this because I did the same thing over the holiday weekend. We went out and did holiday shopping and family stuff and then I came back and flicked on KZbin to see more cabin building.

The stance of that cabin! The overall shape and the way it 'pops' against the woods is incredible.

[@fuzzyfultz]

Good see you again brother. Awesome job and a lot of work on the door. Beautiful and will be awesome once complete. Hope your wife is doing fine and know that we are praying for her and your family. Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. God bless you and your family. I have been following you for yrs and my wife and I always look forward to your next video of the cabin build. I put the video up on the big screen and watch you here on our front room. As I write this I am remembering your Dad as you sat there in front of the fire no doubt remembering as well. I myself have lost both my parents and many friends during the time of your cabin build over these yrs past. I will always your remember your Dad and how awesome of a carpenter he was, as are you. Again, God bless you and thank you so much for all your time and effort put into one of most awesome cabin builds I have had the pleasure of ever witnessing.

[@jamesmcmahan2376]

Great to see you back in action, sounds like you got a few equipment repairs to get done, can't wait to see the epoxy door hung :)

[@gbentley8176]

The cabin is looking fantastic. I like to see you are so engaged after losing your Dad. I missed that second pair of hands when doing build work. Today years later I still see the details we both installed in the family home and those of my brother and Grandparents both, just as you and your family will. Happy advent and God bless from the UK.

I just noticed you've hit the million subscriber mark on your channel. Well done.

[@scottmcintosh2988]

The Apoxi door with tree really adds class to the cabin ! I like it !!!

[@jimwilloughby]

I do love that Massey. Back when I was a teen, so about 55 years ago, I had an IH 350 Utility with front end loader. It was about the same size as your machine. I move a lot of Massachusetts snow with it. I like the idea of the stone ledge behind the stove. You will get another benefit from it. The look will be rustic, but it will also help break up the mass of logs that one is forced to look at.

[@Joe___R]

Snow and ice build-up are definitely major problems with solar panels in cold climates. Adding a wind turbine would be a good addition. If you get a cheap one, you could use it just to heat the solar panels to keep them clear. Just use electric heat cables that are designed to go on roofs to prevent ice dams.

[@jlynett]

This series is FANTASTIC!! I’m recently retired from 40 years in the building trades as a carpenter. I’m also a hobby woodworker so appreciate all your challenges, research and dedication to your project. It was heartbreaking that your father passed away. I find your videos very peaceful and relaxing to watch and love your dedication to preserving the forest that allows you to build this cabin. Great work and thanks.

[@Unclejojo330]

Great video happy you made it home safely with the door. The snow is beautiful except when you get stuck in it. To you and your family have a safe and blessed holiday season.

[@nanettebarling1222]

I love my new Outsider shirt! You have such wonderful skills for someone your age. Your Dad taught you well. I know he will always be there with you. I hope you and your family are doing well. Please keep up the great work so we can see the cabin finished! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Stay warm and humble, my friend. You are an inspiration to all! Merry Christmas to you and your family, God bless!

[@unknownangel64]

While our log cabin that I lived in with my dad in AK was never this beautiful it held special memories of us working on it. He died before it was finished too. Bank took it back. Your channel has brought me back to those wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing.

[@df7838]

I have recently found you channel and begun with the complete log cabin build, then have started watching the more detailed episodes. I am from the UK and would love to be able to build and live in a cabin in an area such as yours. I admire how open you are sharing details of mrs outsiders battles and your dads tragic loss. You have built an amazing log cabin with so many heart warming memories for the future with your family. I know your dad was and would be very proud of what you have achieved. You are a true inspiration to others. You and your family deserve to be happy and i really wish you all the best for the future.

Your videos are informative (really enjoy how you explain things in just enough detail where I understand what you are doing, but don't feel stupid for not knowing) and interesting (in that way where I know I will never do what you do, but find the procedures fascinating. The locations are beautiful. But your voice is so calming, which is the icing on the cake of enjoyment. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@hardtailjefe]

There’s nothing better than a crackling fire in a wood stove in winter. Reminds me of when I was a kid and we used to get blizzards and this was the sound all night.

[@MidnightAmratha]

put a tarp on the top and let it hang behind, then when you get a snow prediction you just flip the tarp over the panels, after the snow stops falling you just flip the tarp back and hey presto, clean panels.

[@littledude5311]

Every time I tune into your channel I am in awe of the beautiful and exacting work you do. Your latest project, the “tree door,” is a work of art. You truly have been given a gift from God. Oh, and your voice, it’s what I call a “radio voice.”

[@passerby9123]

Just to make a note for future reference, one project that I'm looking forward to the front deck, with as I recall, you may or may not use those curved trees on or in the construction of. Yes, the clear door with the tree in it will be neat, and for many years I had a silver birch in a corner of my lounge with all sorts of stuff from my travels hanging on it, but for some reason, it is the look of the whole cabin that appeals to me most, and I still fondly recall the videos of times when you and your father were working on bringing it to life. Best of luck, and the very best of wishes to you and your family.

[@djcmike]

[@almadeckard8360]

Over one bench, it would be nice to be able to hang your winter gear. It is a great place to dry out stuff. An excellent heavy wood peg system would match the aesthetic of the cabin. The stone-covered bench will be a nice place to put your winter boots on. A longer-handled broom would be handy to hang on the left side outside the wall. Then any family member could rake the snow from the solar panels. A plus is if you put a sauna and shower underneath the solar panels, the heat will melt the snow.

[@d14551]

I will echo what others have said. I think your dad would be very proud of the creative ways you devise to get things done on your own.

[@605portdawg]

Even when the videos are short to presence of what God has made is so amazing. Love your cabin in the woods and the memories you have made with building it. I cannot wait to see that door up. It is going to be absolutely amazing. God Bless!

I have seen other people stack bricks on top, and also have seen then dry stack an enclosure around the stove itself... It is very effective for storing extra heat.... Door looks great! I kinda like the "frosted look" of the plexi...

I’m hoping your wife and child is well and y’all had a great weekend. I’m sure you’ve also been very busy settling your parents estate and that can be very time consuming, I believe you said your grandfather is very elderly also and you probably help him also. These are my thoughts only, but I know how all these concerns can be time consuming. The door is going to be beautiful in your cabin, it’s a work of art. Until next time. Be safe, be well.

[@Finn-McCool]

Some beautiful Glacier Blue or Nordic Black Canadian granite slabs atop a large brick box underpinning would make for a wonderful installation, not only to hold heat, dry out winter wear or sit near the stove. But also as kindling wood/chopped wood storage for those times when you just don't want to go out for an armload of burnstock! 😉. Hope the family is doing well. Looking forward to seeing that one-of-a-kind door!!

Not sure if any of us is looking for excitement while watching your videos but, 15min snipets are just fine. A series of videos covering a specific topic would make for engaging regularly easy to accept. I'm sure people know how to fast forward through things they feel they can. You are fine sending out 15min videos. It may provide just enough income in views to make it worth your while. Unfortunately I don't know just yet. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@catgynt9148]

Terrific video, thanks for sharing your journey. The next time you are our shopping purchase a gallon of winter rated windshield washer fluid and use it with a hand pump spray bottle on the solar panels. Rain-x and similar products will reduce ice formation and speed ice removal. Regarding your snow machine maintenance, it would be interesting to see what needs to be performed for annual maintenance. Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas season, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace brother

As a non Christian man, I don't have any religion to be honest, I do feel that you genuinely mean it when u say "god bless" to us. And I don't know why, but it warms my heart to hear you say it. I've been watching you for quite some time now (although today I had to re-sub to the channel for some strange reason (I got a new phone recently perhaps that may be the reason). Anyways, I for one would like to see you do all the work on the machinery that you need to do for what that's worth to you. I have never seen an episode on this channel that I didn't learn from or feel inspired by yet. I'd love to be able to do what you have done, a cabin in the woods is literally my idea of heaven (no religious joke intended ,I just don't know how to put it across any better). I think you're very much an inspiration in many many ways. And I truly hope your channel continues for many years to come. good luck to you,
