Log Cabin DOOR Build Start to End

[@andreabasney]

I love how you’re so patient with kitty ❤

[@louisseckijr.666]

A great look for the back door. My thought for the end of the ropes would be to capture the ends in a piece of copper tubing with a copper nail fastening it to the door. Also fastening the rest of the rope with copper nails. I for one love the front door as it is,I wouldn't change it. You amaze me with the results you achieve using the simples of tools. Don't stop man.

[@loisyork5760]

I watched you build the beautiful log house from the start. I love the door but my favorite is the staircase!!! You are a very gifted man. God bless you and your family. I am a 97 year old woman and have lots of time to watch what you do so keep doing what you do!

[@inkedtoo1097]

I like the copper ends idea.

[@area51ray]

Your visions and artistry is a gift Nik. How you made those pieces interact was so cool, never seen anything built like it before. Thanks for sharing your cabin build journey, and I hope you and your family will be able to enjoy the structure you’ve created for generations my friend! 🙂

[@snarkycard]

It looks organic like a tree. It ties into the whole cabin made from trees and the beautiful staircase you made with the branches and trunk. Very artistic and beautiful, Nik! Greetings from Indiana!

[@jameswulzen590]

well said, I love this man's building projects. The door gives me Ideas.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Nik . 🐺

[@nancybrennemann2203]

I’ve been watching you from the start. I’ve never seen anyone work harder on building their dream home. You’ve done a fabulous job and I can’t wait for the next video. Your new home is beautiful!!!

[@infamousnobody5172]

I personally love the look of the door on the outside as it sits. Maybe fill in the gaps with resin but that black with the wood looks really good.

[@warnerwells1425]

Those chldren are SO LOVED, and so lucky to be workng. BRAVO. The door is great, but the children are the real blessing.

[@sigiborutta4909]

The love words your wife wrote in the snow covered door are now transformed as strong arteries in this wonderful door.Congratulations and Love from Austria.

[@anaeneberg3243]

Jako lijepa vrata 😊 Have you seen The Outsider, he is also doing a beautiful door, never seen anything like that before, episode 98,99 and 103 You two are really inspiring

[@kingrafa3938]

Yeah The Outsider back door is a lot of work. It takes Mr. Outsider a month or two to dry it but it's worth it at the end. Waiting for Shawn James on his front door when he change it as he states that it is a temporary door.

[@davidball6644]

You could maybe use silicone like the Outsider and incorporate your stones/pebbles into the silicone, even adding some colour into the silicone. Keep up the good work I really enjoy watching your journey.

Nik, you made an amazing job. Congratulations. Greetings from North Germany.

[@frankh.valenzuelaabuelotej652]

Loved the inside design of the door! The outside looks amazing as well. I don't have a problem with the black background because it ties in (matches) the black hinges and door knob. So, bottom line, it really is up to you. Keep up the great work and, looking forward to your next video. And, don't worry about losing viewers. I imagine you'll have us until you decide to stop making them. Peace.

[@maryfmills3034]

That's not a door, IT is a Work of ART! I do like the black on the out side.

[@Dansil-f8p]

Hiya mate. That door is a work of art. Your such a inspiration, thanks to you I'm starting my own project renovating my Great Grandfather house. Needs a lot of work but Rome wasn't built in a day.

[@131dyana]

An amazing door.

[@patriciah6227]

WOW. WOW. There's not another door like it in the world. Just WOW.!

[@superymariowest2403]

We love your work and your videos! Don't apologize for going off the grid, you built the log cabin to do exactly that 😉 the fans that can't respect when you take your time off clearly missed why your videos are so fantastic to watch. We will always be waiting here, excited for the next video! Enjoy what you've spent the past 5 years building!

[@louispeel9919]

I just love your whole cabin from start to finish. love the Staircase inside and the Loft Area! ❤💯

[@catritz]

Stained glass is a nice touch... Glad you thought of it. 😜 It looks like that side is a northern view. Hopefully the windows will get a glimpse of the sun, to show the colours reflecting in the room... The outside of the door, with the black swirls, is gorgeous. The inside of the door's rope, with the green threading, is an improvement, though I see what you mean... Stones? Hmm What if the rope was darker... even black... Love watching you and your creativity, in your craft. You have a divine gift... Glad you've resurfaced.

[@michaelcostner3623]

I've been dealing with depression for years now. These videos make me very happy when I watch them. Thank you very much. Please, continue sharing with us. You bring joy and positive vibes to the world.

Your wife’s vision and your creativity and skill has produced a beautiful door. Worth waiting for the last two videos. A lovely family

[@dennishayes65]

Nic, you were very patient with your friendly cat getting in your way when crafting your entry door.

[@kevinkilkenny8158]

A tree grows from a seed. That seed has the “design” inside but it grows as needed by its environment. Your work on the cabin, the stairs and this door in particular mimics this natural process where in your mind is the seed but even you can’t tell how exactly your branches will grow. But always a work of beauty.

[@ernieruss6044]

I am a retired contractor every time I watch your show makes me want to go build something LOL wish i could come help you not that you need help you inspire me once you get sawdust in the blood its hard to quit love what you do great work thanks for your post

[@obxjeepguy]

I absolutely love your work. It sounds like you speak Italian with your family, and something else I can’t place with your friends.

[@stephenhoward4191]

maybe a lead light door? so many designs to fit ur cabin, food for thought nik!

[@violatierwillbeprosecuted3392]

I still think on all those hours spent debarking So many trees, to beautiful, finished doors. Thanks for a great effort!

Beautiful door! Great addition to the cabin. Well done!

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

Yes I like the green twine as the contrast tie-off. And please leave the outside exactly as it is please, I so love the look. You snd your wife's creativity flows beautifully together. God bless you both and the children. ps the cat wanting ti be a part of the creativity was classic, esp when it sat front & centre on the piece you were working on. LOL 😂Lovely piece if work Sir 🤗💞🙏👍👏🇦🇺

[@jeanhawken4482]

Amazing skill and imagination. The most gorgeous family.

[@hulkflattt7854]

Rope idea for you! You can make something like a staple out of metal or brass or whatever and cover the ends of rope Nice work good family working together 😎

[@kaydog2008]

Epoxying small black rounded river stone or small tiles is a nice personal touch to the outside of the door.👉👉Heres an Idea 💡💡Varnishing or epoxying the rope in place would seal up any gapes and make it 1 solid panel. Also by adding in a color to the mix. Like a light red would make it pop.🤔👍👍

[@curtisep5885]

Now that's a work of art the contrast with the black and the wood lovely

[@paulhill3106]

I have been watching your videos since the start, and I think I can call you, as best described as a manic genius.

[@Chris-lp2dk]

I'm spotting: 1) room divisions for this house extension! 2) massive Solar panel array! @ 57:01 (in background). Can't wait for future videos 🥰

[@davecleggett9371]

Caution. Genius at work. With a cat as his help-mate! Most people would settle for a door. But then Nik isn't 'most people' is he? He creates a masterpiece of a door! Brilliant Nik.

[@tanja9364]

Your cat REALLY loves you!❤❤

[@qhack]

There is an actual method for tying the ends of a rope like that, but what you did works, so it doesn't matter. Awesome job.

[@Kathy-ut9kf]

The hinges look like Sir Lancelot's sword! Another piece of artwork! Bellissimo ❤

[@justamom5520]

so much i loved about this video. the door, of course. the rope blew my mind! i love the rope. the audio towards the end where it sounded like cooking or doing dishes in the background, omg, that was so incredible. and finally, think it was the first time i saw your hands up close, the detail in the string tightening the ends of the rope, so exquisite. everything, i love your content. magnificent kids growing! your wife is beautiful, her message to you, yes you are amazing! content content content 100% love.

[@x15973]

Nice the way each of the family picked a window shape and alignment, You could use some 2 part epoxy and pour over the ropes (w/the door laid flat). It would soak in and a hair dryer/heat gun would help it soak into the rope better. Could also add colorant to it before pouring onto rope. Many colors out there. Would dry solid and water proof. Door would be stronger also. Glad you're back and well. Have watched every episode of yours!

Hi Nik, from David in Omaha, NE, USA! We Americans love your work, Nik. You are such a great Artist and so creative. You remind me of the KZbin channel, "The Outsider" guy who is an Artist like you and built his own home and used his creative juices to make it a masterpiece, like your home! I love your front door and your back door is epic. I like the black between the boards, it matches the hinges. Blessings to you and your family!

[@mmerdeux8555]

The cat has done a real good work. 🐈

[@Rags2Itches]

I would of used short brass tubing to cap the rope ends. That would cover the cut ends of the rope. There is a simple macrame knot that is for wrapping ends of rope. You Tube does have a how to video showing you how to do it. Very simple ! The door is a work of art, Nik. I think since it is a door to a sauna and bathroom that painting the outside grooves a nice blue would look like small streams of water. OR maybe the right sized green bendable branches in the gaps ? I like how you patterned the walls inside that area as well. As always I enjoy your cat "helping" you get things done.

[@PapaBearOutdoorAdventures]

I think the door will be even more unique and prominent once you get the outer panel in place. Nicely done! Greetings from Sweden 😀

[@johnmarlow2887]

A beautiful door, Nik. Your cat reminds me of my old cat. He loved to 'help' me when I did any woodwork. I think that it must have been the smell of the Oak sawdust that made him even more loving than at any other time.

[@johnmiller6558]

Beautiful. I built my own cabin too. I built the door too. I stared at it for 3 months, trying to work out the design. And now, still 6 years later, everyone loves and admires the unique door. I wish I could attach an image here in the comments!

[@ruththomas6361]

I bought a book called "Handcrafted Doors and Windows" years ago (loaned it out and never got it back) that had some beautifully crafted designs. I love seeing homes with original ideas for basic functional pieces such as stairs, doors and windows. This artwork does not disappoint at all, nor does your other work!

[@m00str]

The inside of that door is provably the best piece of art you did so far. I absolutely love it. I would suggest tying the rope ends with some sort of wire together, perhaps that would give the look a slight twist. I like the idea of glueing rocks on the outside, preferably black pebbles. But i'm sure however you and your family decides, it will be just perfect. That cat really likes getting in your way :D very cute
