A Simple Project Became Anything But That / Off Grid LOG CABIN Building

This was a perfect example of wanting to do something very simple and quick and then I got carried away and made a much more complicated thing out of it. Maybe too much for a clothes hanger? I don't regret it and it's a unique piece in the cabin with a lot of interesting details. Having the possibility to build the log cabin myself, what I like the most is being able to do things as they come to my imagination.

I'm a old guy soon to be 87 all I can say is, you are a fantastic father in teaching, learning and showing interest in your children and wife. I enjoy your videos of your life.

[@Dennis-eh2vx]

The craftsmanship, dedication, and perseverance you share with us and the calmness you radiate are so unique and admirable that you absolutely deserve the beautiful words and credits you get! And how you've filmed it all, from the moment of lifting the heavy logs on your own using your tractor from different angels until today is also beautiful! I still enjoy it and always look forward to the next one. Keep up the good work!

[@williamgriffin7866]

Watching you and your wife interact with your children I can see the patience that you both have with you kids, both of you are fantastic parents good on you brother ☮️

[@laszlodesimon4768]

Nik, I love how you work with the wood, with such harmony, and even stop to watch the birds. A true person who loves their surroundings.

[@solitairesmith3553]

I am always in awe of this cabin. And this stove is absolutely perfect. I really enjoy seeing your family always around you as you build this masterpiece of a cabin. I am grateful that you have allowed us to admire your journey as you build your cabin .

[@Davidjeng049]

It is always a pleasure to watch, as I have been here when you first started stripping the logs for the cabin. The dedication to detail is first class.

[@Hanglap9296]

[@dmounts9999]

I could not agree more. I sometimes get so busy that I forget. It is always great to catch up with the natural improvements/additions you have made Nik.

[@fluidgroover]

Nik, Such beautiful attention you put into your goals. You are a true inspiration to all of us armchair builders! Your home is beautiful.

[@theconservativeconvict6353]

As a logger here in the NW of America I can really appreciate that clothes drying rack! Super cool dude👍🏻 Always excited when I see one of your videos posted! Keep it up 🤙🏻

[@denniscarreno8151]

You are not just a good craftsman , but you shown a true artist and dedication to your vision....there not people in this world that has your talent and passion to see it through right at the end...well done Nik! God bless people like you..

[@clairewink7058]

Always good to see you and the family, Nik. You are meditative, yourself. Thanks for sharing what you do. Best wishes to you from Hampshire, UK.

[@mkurtanjek1]

...lep pozdrav izpod Pohorja Nik! Z velikim veseljem sledim tvojim vlogom, posebaj pa mi je všeč kako z veliko ljubeznijo in predanostjo slediš svoji viziji.... Tudi tvoja družinica je čudovita, prav tako način kako vzgajata otroke v pridne in ustvarjalne ljudi. Da nebom preveč osladen pa še ena rahlo kritična....v vseh teh letih odkar spremljam tvoje prispevke tvoje drage in otrok še nisem slišal spregovoriti slovenske besede ali pa se motim? Italijanski jezik imam sicer rad in ga tudi precej razumem , vem, da je to tudi njihov materin jezik pa vseeno bi bilo lepo tudi iz njihovih ust slišati tudi kako slovensko besedo.......

[@johnmarlow2887]

I loved to watch your wife teaching the young princess how to create the 'string' of knots. It brought back many happy hours of doing the same things with my children.

[@catritz]

I've watched you from the beginning and there's no denying your talent and gift. Everybody has such wonderful comments, as I did myself, from time to time... However, in regards to this project, I have "No Comment" on the grounds that I will be booed and hissed :) With that said, I hope you're not running out of ideas. If you are, get busy thinking bigger and harder... I know you can do it...

[@MichelleLindsay-rj9tb]

I’m always in awe in everything that you accomplish. You have been given the abilities from God to build, design and utilize anything from His creative garden of life to become a magnificent picturesque landscape together with your family. You definitely are a genius who can absolutely beautify anything you touch. Your mind must be working nonstop to truly become a complete digest of a labor of love 24/7. God Bless you Nik and you precious family. ❤️🇺🇸

[@breakingberg4130]

What a beautiful edition to the cabin. In my opinion details like these are always worth the effort since they bring back memories which otherwise easily would have been forgotten about. These videos are an inspiration to me as an 18 year old, so keep it up Nik👍🏻😎

[@jameswulzen590]

It's so good to hear from a teenager interested in this way of building. This man is an artist along with being a well thought out builder with a great minds eye to work with.

[@___PK__]

He's a good man to look up to. Some/most never acquire these hard fought skills!

[@scottsorby7966]

Nik I always enjoy watching your videos but seeing the little ones smile when she made her first braid was magical,, and your own warm and genuine smile was that of a man who very much enjoyed learning a new skill when you made your own braid,, these insight into your family life are wonderful, thank you so much for sharing your build and your family with us

[@edfroelich6528]

Nik, Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. So many wonderful memories you have created with your family and the millions of people watching on youtube. May God keep you safe and healthy.

[@TheJimcrooks800]

The clothes airer/dryer is a wonderful piece of art. Natural markings by the beetles and then touches of artistry from your wife and children in the macramé ropes. Also, the simple engineering in teh pulley system. Art, engineering, craftsmanship all in one piece. Lovely natural addition to provide a practical and beautiful addition to your home. we also see the kitchen beginning to take shape and we look forward to seeing what you do there!

[@stubby8663]

That wood looks very nice Nik with all the groves that the beetles cut into it. It doesn't matter how long it took you, as long as "You" are happy with it. You will remember all the time you spent to get it just right every time you look at it for years to come and know it was done by "Your" hands. Enjoyed the video and Thank as always.

[@greyfoxice]

Your daughter had great focus. I'm sure your proud of her she is going to be a smart gal.

[@Brokenbones2]

I think that guy in Ontario Canada watches you to steal all your ideas Nik! Thanks for being the real thing!!!

[@runninonempty820]

Nik, I tell everyone I know about your channel. It gives me great pleasure to share what amazing things you do.

[@martincarberry8560]

You are a good man and you have a beautiful family. I love how you constantly set and accomplish your goals.

Building a beautiful world for life. Respect.

[@ardenfreyjr.5500]

Nik, I live in Michigan and I wait all the time to see your videos. The skills that you show may not be professional but your artistic abilities and quality of work are a joy to watch and when you include your family shows your commitment to them and your mission as a husband and father. Blessings to you and your family in all of your endevers.

[@grokeffer6226]

You're an exceptional craftsman: a real artist. I hope you and your Loved ones stay safe.

[@vmi1976]

Nik I've been with you since you cut down the first tree and have enjoyed, and been inspired by every video. You are a wonderful craftsman and have a beautiful family by the way. Keep on keeping on brother. Look forward to future vids. Alan

[@kevins_campfire]

That sunset through the windows as you're shearing the bark from the tree near the beginning of the video....wow

[@emericto]

When you put the jacket on I was like "ooooh, it's amazing". Best drying rack I will ever see in my life for sure

[@edro3838]

Continue on Nik, I always enjoy watching the videos.

[@arthurf.cleary4750]

Thanks again for your uplifting words. It is nice to share the inspiration in living everyday doing something that's fulfilling.

[@a.d.595]

It's the most effective way to dry your washing/clothes 👍👌

[@BiornBear]

Looking great my friend. Beautiful cabin and beautiful family. God Bless.

[@dianesanford5609]

The sunset out the window is amazing!!!

[@MrMixa007]

Обалденная идея! Очень классное видео с семейными ценностями, прогулками по лесу и крайне рукастым мастером! Спасибо!

[@yorki9585]

I always love your little 'stop and smell the roses' moments. Especially with the birds. Says alot about your character. You have a good soul and it's always a pleasure to watch you do your thing.

[@dennisguethe8296]

Nik you have such an artistic eye to turn items from nature into truly unique pieces of interest, kudos. We all so enjoy watching a true master plying his skills making a one of a kind warm, loving home.

[@lindacarruthers3423]

Even the simple household equipment and furnishings you turn into a work of art . Your clothes dryer is lovely .

[@donnamealy4877]

Typical of what I’ve seen from you, my artistic friend. This is ingenious and beautiful.

[@curtisep5885]

Man I love the way your SUPER CREATIVE brain works! Wonderful. Its a pleasure watching the journey. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@natt7530]

I accidentally saw your chanel, i thought i will see a little bit. I am so impressive your master piece and you have family around. No word to say. Thanks for creating and showing your skills to the public. It is so incredibly!!!👍👍👍

[@digitaIgorilla]

Sometimes the best projects start with an accidental discovery 😁 Those beetles did a beautiful design job

[@earlytw]

Looks like cavedrawings, nice work.

[@rentregagnant]

[ 21:00-23:00 ] is adorable... the best part of the whole thing, in my view.

[@staxter6]

In Scotland the 'clothes pulley' was the focal point of the house cos that's where the heat was!! 😅 Nice job Nik and Co.

[@JourneymanJacob]

Nik- There’s a part of me, and probably most of the viewers here, that wants to break free of the modern world and live in the sanctuary of the old world. I personally am thankful that you’ve shared your world with me, and I yearn even more to follow your footsteps.

[@MeinTubengucker]

It's reassuring to watch you in these troubled times.

[@williambryant5946]

You'll have to build yourself a large workshop after you finish the bathroom/sauna. If you plan on having livestock and building a barn for them you could make it big enough to include a workshop. I'd love to see you build a huge log barn. With your skills I'm sure it would look amazing. This project turned out awesome. The bug trails through the wood makes it very interesting. I'm looking forward to watching you do more projects of building things you need in the cabin. More furniture maybe?

[@sonicclang]

Well done, Nik. Your craftsmanship and dedication are so admirable. I've been following your cabin build for just over 2 years now and I get excited every time I see you've released a new video. I smiled the entire time your wife was showing your daughter how to tie the knots :) it made me feel so good inside to see what kind of family man you are.

[@michaelshearer3559]

big thanks to Nik, and his beautiful family. We all appreciate your example in building, creating, and nature.

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

It is a joy to watch you and your family!

[@nickbremner6274]

This is a wonderful addition to your cabin Nik, well done. You use a lot of very sharp tools in this episode - a spokeshave, a sheath knife and chisels - it would interest me to see you sharpen these. I sharpen my chisels and knives but my spokeshave hasn't been used enough to need sharpening yet and I don't really know how to do this efficiently. Thank you Nick from Hampshire, UK.

[@Pandilla61]

Nik, you are an artist, you have a vision and you make it come to fruition. You have such a talent and I admire you for that. I will watch youir videos until there aren't anymore to watch. Stay safe and dry. You wife is beautiful.

[@mmanut]

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT ‼️ ‼️

[@Yarabafwak52]

Literally I'm addicted to your videos It has been 3 weeks without any dose

[@darrenl2992]

Nik please continue to take your time and build your beautiful cabin at your own pace, I've gained so much from watching this build from the beginning. The way you present your videos is unlike so many on KZbin, I enjoy the balance of the building mixed with your observations of the nature, weather and sounds that surround you. Not many people truly leave a legacy in life but your cabin will shine on for many generations to come I'm sure of it. The dedication and care with how you work on the cabin and with your family and friends is a credit to you. Good luck for the future and I look forward to many more relaxing build instalments.

[@seantap1415]

Something easy to achieve is usually not worth achieving. Love your videos.

[@ltxslrbf]

I continue to be blown away by the attention to detail that you are putting into this cabin Nik. You make some of the most anticipated content on KZbin, and I very much look forward to viewing the next step in the process for this cabin. Thank you for sharing your work, and those precious moments with family.

[@rubyjools]

I thought it was for hanging pots & pans! But hey its a clothes dolly 😊

[@nancysmith4529]

Your right a simple project that was time consuming. But look how it turned into a beautiful project. Anything you do for the family and you isn’t about time but your love of family and the land! Your a hard worker no matter your project. You can see that in everything you do. What a beautiful home and the land is stunning. It’s wonderful how you all work on projects together. You have a wonderful family.

Great inspiration for wisdom of family life, work ethic, creativity, and freedom to pursue one's happiness. Not to mention a personal set of impressive skills. Not only yours, but your whole family exhibits talents and always learning more. As others have commented, just watching your channel is meditative and I find educational in so many ways. Thank you all for sharing, it is setting a much needed positive example of family life world wide. A Priceless contribution to humanity...

Great video Nik, I see the kitchen counters are taking shape as well. The best things in life are not seldom the easiest to attain and your beautiful log home is definitely an example. Your log home will stand the test of time and someday your daughter will be passing these memories onto her children and grandchildren. Love your channel Nik.

[@yvonnelucas-cessna4458]

Maybe too much for a clothes hanger? Nope, it's a perfect idea!!! I sure am enjoying watching your videos. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@garbaldy9926]

Nik, my brother from another country, here is an old man suggestion, First, the rack was a brilliant idea and turned out perfectly! I, having less energy than you, would have cut the log, for the crank mount, closer to size before skinning it! Love Ya Man, Mean It!

[@ChristiansModellbahn]

Hello Nik, I'm enjoying every new video of your building process and like you said at the end, your work is inspiring other people ;) I always remember how I "found" your videos, I startet with the 2h summary of season 1. Today I'm looking forward to every weekend, hoping for a new video and I hope, in a nearby future, I will have the possibility to build my dreamhouse too... It is taking quite a lot of time to build it by yourself, but it is worth to see the building process and like you said: there are a lot of things you can do how you want them to be... Keep up your work! It is a pleasure to watch you living your dream! Greetings from Germany!

[@1957jmhiser1]

Since it is on a pulley, I'd put rebar instead of rope, or aluminum or copper pipes on top of the wood to hang the clothes on hangers. You could also put a metal screen on the top of it and dry vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers while the clothes are drying. Gorgeous wood.

[@johnmichaelkarma]

Sat through the commercials just for you Nic.

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

I always love to see your videos. Not only the craftsmanship, artistry, and sheer dogged perseverance you bring to your work, but also the peacefulness, and the soothing ambience of your videos. They consistently lighten my mood and brighten my day.

[@joycehoover8786]

Nik, first time commenting on your videos. The word that comes to mind is that you honor the wood 🪵. Bring out the beauty and a purpose of it.
