Man Builds Amazing DIY Wood Cabin in the Forest Start to Finish | by

[@matt.jacobs1]

Thank you @QuantumTech for featuring me on your channel! Also, thanks guys for the nice comments! P.S. A lot of you are surprised that I managed to build it under $400. Maybe it's because in Europe, where I live, prices are lower than in the US. Also remember that I got the roof tiles and two large tanks for free, and I already own the cast iron stove. So I was able to build this cabin very very cheaply.

Critics warn against attempting DIY construction projects without proper expertise and planning.

[@shadowears]

You have good skills but there were mistakes made in this build!

[@bakerlandcrab9634]

Nice work brother. And I give you added respect for doin this on your own, and without using power tools! Must've been a lot of hand drilling. I wonder if you would consider doing an underground house on the next one. There is a brilliant book on it "the $50 and up underground house book" by Mike Oehler. He was part of the back-to land hippy movement and left San Francisco in the 1960's and got a place in Idaho. He had the idea to build underground to help him get through the cold winters. Anyways, Keep on building and creating!

That young man's parents must be very proud ( I know I would). I'm an old man, and I've been trying to get in shape to build my off the grid little place just like that size, but instead of getting in shape, I'm getting older lol, God bless that young man and who ever becomes his mate she's going to be very lucky.

This video is an absolute masterpiece in showcasing the journey of building a DIY wood cabin from start to finish! The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the entire process is truly inspiring. Watching the transformation from raw materials to a beautifully constructed cabin in the forest is incredibly satisfying. Thank you for sharing your journey and expertise with us. Keep up the incredible work!

[@eydeekay]

Brilliant work, awesome video! Just one idea: Install door hinges to the cabin inside (and not to the outside, like here). So that the cabin door can't be opened with a screwdriver, in case it's locked.

[@CynepKpeBeTka]

У него в общем проект весьма странный! Зачем черепица то?)), вентиляция это круто, если сарай - решето. А если там зима снежная есть, то домик через пару лет уже накренится. Да, коловорот сильно ему запал😂 он явно брезгует электроинструментом

[@АлександрБеспечный-щ3в]

Мне вот не ясно почему не покрыл весь материал олифой или еще чем. Сгниет ведь за год, два. Фиг а ним с коловоротом, у каждого свой фетиш

Коловорот нужен для того чтобы собирать просмотры. Все видосы где делают дома или кабинки в лесу везде используется только ручной инструмент. Никаких дрелей. Такие правила

Some argue that skilled labor and specialized equipment are necessary for constructing a cabin, beyond what $300 can cover.

Hello ❤❤❤

[@abbashidare8838]

Very good thanks 👍👌♥️

[@chucky47240]

Well done ! It's so nice without the noise of electronic machines! All by hand ! There is only one detail missing, and not the least, a carbon monoxide detector at bed level. In such a small space, if you fall asleep with the stove on, you can die without your sleep, even if there is ventilation, it may not be sufficient. A detail that doesn't cost much money, but can save your life. It reminds me of when I built my camper van all by myself, without training, just with the habit of tinkering since I was little. I lived there for 1 year. But I had a jigsaw and a screwdriver, not 100% by hand! Everything was plywood. With a 300W monocrystalline solar panel alone, I was largely autonomous all year round. With catalysis heating on a gas bottle in winter, the best balance between economical and the least risk of poisoning. But also in terms of space, it's small, and it heats up very quickly and strongly. I always had my skylight slightly open, just above the bed, for ventilation. And I had a detector!!! It never rang. This cabin lacks good insulation, it's a shame to have such a beautiful wood stove and not to have planned something to keep the heat as much as possible. I would have added a solar panel, it doesn't cost very much, it's simple to install, and it's a shame to do without it. But I understand the minimalist luxury cabin side, rather than a small house to live in all year round. Water collectors are huge! He is sure to never run out of it for washing and washing dishes. There is a French expression that says: "Il vaut mieux un petit chez-soi plutôt qu'un grand chez les autres." ---> “It is better to have a small home than a big one in someone else’s.” To say that it is better to have a small house of your own, even if people find it very small, but to be proud to own it, instead of living in a big castle that does not belong to you. In France, there is a big trend, because the only habitat that can be installed on all types of land without needing permits or very long declarations is Yourth. A friend lives there with her child, it's very comfortable and sufficient, as close as possible to nature! It’s also very beautiful, both inside and outside !

[@HighTech.360]

Critics suggest that the $300 figure might be misleading, omitting additional expenses and resources required.

[@arpudli8962]

Isolation should be added totally agree with all you say

The cool idea. One thing that needs to be improved though is the door latch. Someone could lock you in from the outside and you would not be able to get out

Amazing build. The ONLY criticism, and I'll thoroughly put it down to my own paranoia, is the outside latch on the door. I'd never leave a place with the ability for someone to potentially lock me in. I've also got a workshop that had a knack for the outside latch locking itself when the door was shut , until I fixed it.

Dude, instead of using a hand drill why don't you invest in a battery operated drill. It would save time and save yourself arm pain later. It's a nice place but after your all through I bet your arms are tired and sore. Get yourself a battery operated drill. Also with a battery operated drill you can still use the drill for sockets and screwdriver adapters.

Loved watching it until you put the hole in the wall instead of the roof. I live off grid and my home is not to "Code" But every woodstove has rooftop chimiey and each gas stove goes out the wall. Off grid I say code not needed a great deal. But a house fire is not a joke. Do follow Building codes on the stuff that can take your life at 3 in the morning. Also the reason you are having problems getting the fire going is something called Draw. When you alter the upward direction even temporatly it will effect Draw and make it hard to start.
