Making the Kitchen with Massive Walnut Slabs / Off Grid LOG CABIN Building (S3 Ep 21)

I made the first part of the kitchen, the main structure and the counter top with the gas stove. For the main structure I used the leftover logs and beams and few walnut slabs for the counter top with the stone sink.

Your cabinets and counter tops are just beautiful. You're truly an artist. I watch all the channels you mentioned but it is such a pleasure when yours come out. Who cares if it's only every couple of months. This kind of quality takes time. God bless you guys.

[@dmounts9999]

I whole-heartily agree.

[@WildBoreWoodWind]

After all these years watching you, I don't know why I'm surprised, by you doing such a spectacular job - well done, yet again.👍 👍

[@leapingkitties]

What great counter tops! Such a lot of work, but the result is lovely, as always. You take care of you and all the best to the rest of your family. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you Nik.

[@Palinkat]

Hey Nik, we missed you!!!!! Great to have you back, hope you are staying longer this time!!!!!

[@wendyfaith1048]

Nik, I have been watching from the time you were gathering and peeling the logs. You always amaze!! Every step along the way completed with energy, diligence and love. Beautiful to see the family grow. Your son almost as tall as his mother and a strong and willing young man. Congratulations.

You have a very unique approach to the tasks at hand. It's funny how people approach things so differently but can end up with a good result regardless. Those slabs are gorgeous, I can't imagine what they would costs here in the states. I was sharing your pain when the blades broke. I can't tell you how many times I have done similar things myself; I'm so glad you shared that bungle with us Nik. I;m starting to worry about the end of the cabin project but I suppose that it's still a long way off and you will most likely come up with new projects to keep us hooked. This one had some really creative filming techniques or whatever you call them, very entertaining. Thank you Nik. .

[@nikrijavec47]

Thank you Dave for watching and always leaving a nice comment, it means a lot! More I think I'm reaching the end with the cabin, further away it seems to be and so much more to be done so don't worry.

[@gregwarren7746]

Welcome back to KZbin. We always check to see the next project. They are always hard work but beautiful when completed. Thank you for sharing your work and your life. I think the ideas for the new videos is a great idea, and yes, keep having fun.

[@DancerOfClouds]

Nik, I hope you realize that this cabin you are painstakingly building, is loved all over the world. These wonderful countertops are so fitting. You are truly a master craftsman, yet are so humble. Thank you for sharing your family with us. It is has been great to watch your children grow up. Thank you for all that you do and for bringing us all along to share some of it with you.

[@lesbrewer3105]

I have followed many cabin builds here on KZbin - There is nobody out there doing a grand job as you guys. This is real craftsmanship at its best.

[@johncombes3298]

Great job !!! Old school carpenter here. A old guy told me longtime ago mix saw dust with wood glue and make it thick to fill my cracks ..It sands down good, and it takes stans. Makes joints disappear. If you didnt know . Watching you an friends . Learning a lot

[@robertkline6311]

I look forward for each video that you upload. The videos are well done and your work ethic and craftsmanship are EXCELLENT!!! Thank You!!!

[@deborahgailcampbellmosley8089]

So glad to see you and your family again. They sure are great helpers. I would like to pay you a nice compliment. As I have been watching you, something my Grandmother said came to my mind. She said “If you are going to do a job, do it right or don’t do it at all.” I am a 72 year old female that has some disabilities now but I still follow those rules. You are a fantastic master craftsman. I enjoy watching your videos. One thing that I have noticed about you is that you like it quite so you can concentrate on your project. I hope that you will be able to pass all of your skills down to someone special. Keep up the good work. God bless.

[@Miss.Libby.]

It’s so good to see you back Nik. Congratulations on installing the kitchen counter tops. The natural wood looks beautiful. You put a lot of work into them and they turned out magnificently. It’s was nice to see you and your family so well and happy. The kids have grown a lot since we last saw you all. Stay well and I look forward to checking out the collaboration videos. Cheers from Australia. 👏🏻🇦🇺🌺🌴

[@jeroen.schrage]

Keep up the good work! I spent 20 years restoring my house. The challenge is to keep on working and at the same time have a nice living in the house. This means: doing a lot of cleaning that you don't show in your video's :-) I really appreciate your work !

[@st3althyone]

Everything is looking lovely, but that kitchen looks fantastic! Good to see you again and doing well, Nik; take care of yourself!

[@alexhabdas2020]

I always dreamed about log house. Bought some land by the lake and decided to hire a company to build it for me. And than I've discovered your channel. There is an episode when you talk about Log Construction Manual by Rob Chambers. You said that you've learned everything from this book and this was an eye opener for me. Maybe I could build it myself ? You've made it, so maybe I could too ? Bought the same book from USA, went on Log House building course in Poland and guess what - I'm starting working on my cabin soon :) Thank you Nik, you've inspired me !!!

[@haroldhaugaard410]

Hi Nik, I am a retired tradesman who worked with metal and wood for 45 years, I say this to give you a little bit of my back round. Get yourself an (Impact Drill / driver) you will be amazed at how much better it works for driving screws then a standard drill ! You've done a beautiful job on this cabin and I am very impressed with your skills.

[@nikrijavec47]

I have an impact drill and I don't like it, I can't stand the noise of it. Thank you for watching!

[@stradaveriusfiddle]

You demonstrate a great example of doing this kind of work, focusing on the project with minimal interruptions, paying attention to the details, and finishing with excellent results. Doing projects like these aren’t inherently entertaining, but the work you have documented is interesting to watch, to see the great craftsmanship, and learn from. Hopefully you and your family will be enjoying life in the wonderful cabin you’re building, for many, many years. 🌈

Beautiful walnut blanks and what you did with them was amazing! The finish stain (?) sealant brought out the soul of the tree and made it one with your home. I am stunned beyond belief---not that it was done, but that it was done so perfectly. Now I have to go shower because I am sure that some of the dust and shavings blew through my screen and covered me with an artists glitter! Thank you for this epic episode----and your wife and kids deserve kudos as well.

[@ggbuck2625]

I can appreciate the intense labor that you have done to make this a showcase build. I did scratch my head on a few of your ideas... later they made sense... I can say it takes a lot of dedication to do all of this. I love seeing your family in the videos as well. Your son has grown so big and strong. If he decides to do this kind of work, he will have learned from a master of craftsmanship.
