Making Boardwalk Handrails and The King Swing!!

[@danielpreilly77]

This series is so rad. I’m a dad with two boys, one is autistic. Thanks for sharing your awesome family with us and raising awareness.

[@deborahsimmons2414]

Your boys listening to you and pounding those..whatever you call these dolly like pins in was so satisfying!!! I am so happy to see your wonderful boys listen to every word you said! God Bless you and Your Wife…along side your beautiful family…for generations to unfold…SO BEAUTIFUL TO BEHOLD!!! You ate doing so much more….

[@antonoat]

Kids working with their Dad, they’ll look back with fond memories when they’re older. Beautiful place, you’re doing an amazing job as always, all the best from the UK👏😀👍

[@carolewarner101]

That swing is a huge hit! Those boys are going to remember building that place out there with you with so much joy and pride for the rest of their lives...

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Loved how the kids are helping out. They'll remember that forever.

[@CorneliusFTW]

I love that you included your kids in the build. I have such fond memories of helping my father when I was young. Can't wait to share those memories with my children.

[@deborahsimmons2414]

Such beautiful craftsmanship..in every single detail and design…just wow! Even if no one else in the entire world notices even a scrap of your dedicated love to the build, I pray it doesna matter to you..because you know it’s THERE. God Bless you in every endeavor you’re choose and in the end…I hope you can sit back with your kin, your family and realize not just a huge endeavor was realized…but a significant Human accomplishment…and accomplishment achieved because LOVE drove it and made sure it was true. That’s seems so Samurai to me…THANK YOU. I canna help but think of that old song, “From Sea To Skye”. Your love in your work brings me back to it. Thank You!!! If ye are not a Scotsman…or of a Scots decendency…then I am deeply surprised! Somewhere, deeply etched…inside…there MUST be a Highlander…OR the Highlander Spirit inside you! 😃

[@kurtchainsaw]

When hammering wooden pegs it’s essential you hold your tongue in the proper position. It’s something that will take some time to master! Haha Very cool to see what you are building with your family!

[@negotiableaffections]

The protrusion of the tongue is inversely proportional to the amount of concentration applied. It is by this means alone that mastercraftspersons can be recognised!

[@gtuttle4]

Treasure every moment with your boys, time goes way too quickly! That lake is absolutely beautiful! Love your videos.

[@JS-ct5jn]

You have a beautiful family. You will never regret this time with your boys and they will always remember it.

[@j.ressler395]

Wow!!! That’s an impressive portable bandsaw!!!! And not cheap lol.

[@MrPaulviles]

Australia flag towel!!!!!! Got to love it!

[@storfarbrorn489]

Those kids having that kind of encouragement is something i didnt got when i grew up, i only heard i wasnt good enough. So good job as a dad.

[@Heroasteral]

Well I for one think you are fantastic and I hope you get more encouragement from anywhere :)

[@terrysmall1421]

it amazes me you get any work done with that outlook. lookin great.

[@christopherc7757]

I adore the piece with your son concentrating so hard on knocking in the dowel that his tongue is out; I do exactly the same!

[@Topo42mh]

Ninjas at work

[@HairyMTB]

Kids have better hand eye co-ordination hammering away than many adults :)

[@Zamboni-0805]

$7000 Portable Band Saw......You are the man!

[@ralphrohr]

Dear Mr. DeGeest, having one boy like this i can only imagine how it is for you and your lovely wife to have four of those whirlwinds!! 😄 You did a hell of a Job so far on your property and i am looking forward to multiple seasons of the Off-Grid-Samurai!! All the best from germany!!

[@Michael-ft5dz]

I second that. Also from Germany. Love what you are doing! Inspiring. Calming. Educational.

[@mauriceryton]

Lol, brilliant stuff on the swing. Kids being kids. Great time spent with your kids too.

[@marekpowazka989]

When you have been in your shop and posting progress of home remodelling and some projects You were Master of craftsmen in mine eyes. Now You are the Head of a beautiful family. Best of luck in chasing of your dreams.

[@ryanjordan3602]

AMAZING and so great to have you back with this next chapter of your life. Lets get you to a Million Subs

[@daramacdonald]

I like what you said about working in a previous video. An in this one you and your family mix it up with plorking - play and work. Thanks.

[@chrisblair3414]

nice to see whole family enjoying paradise.

[@alexwilson9311]

Your now the samurai clan great video mate you have an awesome family and are in paradise by the look of it take care 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@blurboards1]

Amazing! Raising those boys right. Going to have the most beautiful dock out there, and the whole family helped make it. Take care. 😎

[@stevemurnane1892]

What a nice surprise to see the blue towel hanging on the line showing the southern cross stars. At 8:45. Yes, I'm watching from Sydney, Australia!

[@TheSamuraiCarpenter]

My brother in law and his family live on Phillip island.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Nice to see the kids grow over the years and get involved… First video I saw from you on YT was the tool box, the long one with the nice handle. Then the bridge and then your gate. Really been enjoying your woodwork over the years. Happy for you and your family to now have this piece of paradise here on Vancouver island. I know I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else 🙌

[@hendribeukes]

AWESOME in every way! Thanks for bringing us along on such a wholesome family odyssey - where everyone is precious and everyone is included. Jesse, your father-heart transcends and gives us all a sense of belonging when watching The "Off-Grit" Samurai Carpenter. Thank You & Bless You! & All the Best from Taiwan. 👏😁👍

[@JerryDechant]

With children like that, there is hope for the future :)

[@timfowler4642]

Thats worthy of a t-shirt logo for the Samurai Ranch. Just the right kind of crazy.

[@kia386]

You are one of the coolest men on the planet

[@0380chad]

Your boys are awesome.

[@EverydayPeople2471]

Nice project Jesse, great to see your kids involved.

[@DeadBu11]

Swing looks super fun! But if anyone jumps off they're headed straight for a mouth full of your tent platform. You may want to reposition the swing so that nothing is below it. It would be a long boat ride back to civilization...

[@Gantzz321]

Nice watching the boys getting involved in the build. Some of my only good memories with my father was when we were building things together.

[@bigkevcanb]

Great to see the kids helping

[@ZenWithKen]

I have found memories of building our family cabin back in the mid 60’s with my father and brothers. There’s nothing better in life than building memories like you’re doing for your family.

[@sawdustadikt979]

There is no better feeling than the sun, breeze, the sound of water and sawdust in my sandals.

[@tazytka]

I love it with the tongue sticking out! Reminds me of me!

[@poelmeister]

I suddenly realized I can not live on without owning one of those portable bandsaws.

[@karllove57]

Beautiful boys you´ve got there. A man´s greatest treasure is healthy children.

[@thegodemperorofmankind7yea704]

Easy to take it for granted, it’s nice to be reminded to be grateful

[@AverysMan1105]

Livin' the dream samurai!

[@kr4906]

Your kids are more accurate at hammering than me! Great work!

[@sapelesteve]

Terrific work on that dock Samurai & it's nice seeing the kids helping out. They are going to have a lifetime of great memories growing up on that lake. 👍😉

[@PRBlythe]

Great job Dad!

[@robertfrost5020]

Your Kids have great technique already! Carpenters use so many screws now and can't swing a hammer or mallet as good as your kids :) You should be a proud Dad :)

[@halfinchholes88]

I bought some climbing spikes(boot jack spikes) from the newspaper classified ads back in the late 80's. My mother was like the same when I climbed the telephone pole in our backyard. After years of free cable TV, HBO, Cinemax, and Showtime nary a complaint. Still in the shed with new webings. Never know when you may have to head up a tree or pole.

[@gregmize01]

Oh the joys of free child labor💓

[@pierrebrodeur1492]

I love how you seem to be going back to the Samurai way with your vids. I truly admire your carpentry my man!

[@jmert_5859]

You are definitely an artist.

[@good.morning.everyone]

Looking real nice. It’s great to see the boys having a hand in on the action. I cherish those times with my dad and now with my boys.

[@irritablearchitect]

Way to get the boys involved! I wish I could do same with mine.

[@yeoboshong]

Four sons! Very cool video as usual!

[@simonr6793]

Awesome episode watching your boys brought me back to when I was little. Whenever my older brother did anything which involved him concentrating he alway's used to either stick his tongue outside the corner of his mouth or he would bend his tongue in half and bite down on it, so seeing your boy do the exact same thing had me going way back 40 plus years!!! As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

[@deborahsimmons2414]

You are a great Dad…like my own and your sweet wife is wonderful too..🥲😂🤣

[@timetowakeupnow9889]

Yes brother! Here I find peace and tranquillity! You are an inspiration! Good on ya!

[@rickfazzini22]

I wouldn't get a thing done with that view over my shoulder......I only know you from your videos, but you seem very genuine and a great roll model for those buys! Good work Samurai...

[@jasondoza1991]

your fillets and rounds look great as well, i love your channel

[@davedavis662]

Building great memories as well!

[@petergibbins4930]

Amazing to see your boys taking an interest in working with there hands 🙌

[@islandblacksmith]

got the crew hammering! ...got a mafell bandsaw, what about a chain mortiser, or the makita version...already got the generator going!

[@tonydpayne]

Love the Australian flag towel 👍👍

[@toddgaugler6528]

The part with Asher was my favorite :)

[@alanmclennan8797]

Broadwalk is coming along great, looks like you have some keen helpers as well :) , nice to see an Aussie beach towel on the line !

[@benzmansl65amg]

Beautiful family sir. Thanks for sharing!

[@LarryTait1]

6:23-6:35; I would row that water in my Fluidesign in a heartbeat 💓

[@wisp666]

Your own little piece of heaven, right here on earth! Love the series and especially the way the whole family is involved. Your kids are a credit to you both.

[@robhardy3979]

Good to see the Australia towel :)

[@33valleys28]

What a sweet set up

[@Audiobook-Man]

That view is 🔥🔥🔥

[@johnshoureas1629]

Thank you for inviting us through your gate to paradise. Let us know which weekend you have available.

[@aaronellingsen5404]

Dang. I'm envious of that yellow cedar. It's nearly impossible to get anything that clean around here. Looks amazing.

[@thetheo2002]

Thanks for sharing this. Great to see your family having fun.

[@donaldneill4419]

Kudos to you, mate, we're all living vicariously through you! Those of us who work with our hands can appreciate the effort and craftsmanship in everything you do. And speaking as a fellow dad (of slightly older kids), you'll be so glad you taught your children to do the work as well. It'll serve them all their lives. Keep up the amazing work!

[@forrestmarsh8787]

I’m so happy for you with this stage in your life. I know your going to make a very beautiful place in that gorgeous setting. The extra time you take to make something with craftsmanship and beauty will be appreciated for years to come.

[@leeskithree]

absolutely awesome. The kids, wife, views, happy for ya, looks like a great place even though I don't know exactly where you are lol. Great content

[@LuisSanchez-wf9zw]

Love the helpers. Going to get my 8 year old son to help me build the deck here in the house, too.

[@laytonasmus6348]

The boys swinging and shouting brought back some strong feelings of nostalgia of old home videos of me and my siblings and cousins playing out by the lake. Awesome video, nice work!

[@BlueEternities]

Keep cranking out this beautiful content and I'll keep watching good sir! = ) Really enjoying the off-grid stuff. Especially nice to see the kids brought in on it!

[@matthewcook953]

Awww bless. There is nothing better than father and son. Thanks for the upload, this is pure gold. I wish you and your family a very happy future and I really hope it works out for you. Long time sub, can't wait to see where we are going. Best of luck and top respect from the UK 🇬🇧

[@YRNUT]

It's looking great, I love the location and can't wait for each update video. One word of advice related to climbing in hooks (gafs), as you transition up or down the tree, its very important that you lock your legs at the knees as your setting the gaf. That will help prevent you from "cutting-out" and falling a few feet and kissing the tree, Cheers, Samurai!

[@11611ss]

Enjoying this series. Beautiful property. I look forward to each new video!

[@DeDvaO]

Can’t believe it’s almost 5 years allready me watching this chanell. :)

[@ste1960]

Amazing family, Samurai. Enjoy that kingdom of yours 🙌

[@lebronjordan802]

Happy 😊 family! You have so much taste to your projects very inspiring 👍!

[@dsop66]

Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the masterpiece is going to look like.

[@normanmerrill1241]

Good job…good crew…be safe…

[@swompworksStudios]

magic spot love it

[@timfiggins7764]

Nice work dad

[@LarryTait1]

Those views, coupled with that woodwork is just mind blowingly awesome. Looks like the Milford sound views in New Zealand

[@michaelanthony9905]

Such a cool journey you are on! Definitely one of my favorite channels to watch!!!

[@FuneralProcession]

I LOVE how you keep the videos coming whilst transforming your land/plot (impossible without teamwork imo)

[@DaGauntlett]

Great to see the building up. But would be nice youre telling (maybe draw) us what your plans are for the coming episodes. There must be a plan(ning). One thing is for sure. Your kids will never forget this period of discovering. Had the same when my parents did about the same. Building things, teaching and learning...

[@MarsLonsen]

16:04 i usually play my guitar while watching YT videos and this was the perfect beat for some blues!

[@jab6367]

Beautiful B.C ❤️

[@Do_Odles]

Lovely to see your little helpers working hard also :) Keep up the great work!

[@Lincoln_Hawk]

Looking good
