I can tell you all about the tensile and compressive strength of wood or any other material and how thick a beam needs to be to support "x" amount of weight, but the actual installation of the beam and how to use all of the tools is not covered. Most engineers are "self taught" in the hands on portion because we like it and that's what drove us to engineering in the first place, but there is no guarantee an engineer will know how to use every tool or know the tricks of the carpentry trade. I really like thermodynamic systems, and that's what I specialize in (think rockets and internal combustion engines) so other than the basics, woodworking is a very foreign topic to me.

Your "bit off more than I can chew" part reminds me of a time when I was working on a heavy Inline 4 and removing it from the frame while the bike was still somewhat assembled. I didn't realize how heavy the engine was until it was partly out of the frame and teetering/about to fall off and I was at such an awkward angle, I either had to give up, or let it drop. I let it drop. Luckily everything was fine lol. My hat is off to you sir, I thought building a motorcycle was hard work, this is a whole 'nother level.

This is probably the most straight-forward and easy-to-understand instructional that I've seen on cabin/tiny house building. Usually these types of videos have some combination of bad camera angles, coupled with other critical details missing. Not this one. Just about every last detail is clearly explained, and for those that are not (e.g. wood stain), he directs you to where you can find that info. I'll be using this as a guide for my cabin build. Bravo, and thanks!

It looks straight forward enough to be able to learn. I haven't built anything like this before, but I think after seeing this build that I could figure out how to do this. I would want to make it deeper and wider for the room to be able to do more in it. I may give this a try this year. I have several building projects to do this year and no contractors available to do them in my area. So if I want something done looks like I will have to take some time off and figure it out myself. I think once you build one thing then the next thing will seem less intimidating and possibly addicting. If you have the land the possibilities are wide open to you.
