I would mirror the railings on the deck and stairs with what you created on the loft railing inside the cabin🪓

[@Gravedigger933]

Natural railings made from found materials.

[@mrs.outsider1265]

I'm so proud of you, baby!! Great work!! ❤

[@serioustrouble63]

Agree! Hope you're doing fine, Mrs. Outsider!

[@joywilliams7184]

Lovecu Mrs Outsider ❤agree great work Sir Outsider.much love to u both..what ever idea u have in mind Sir..is just great for me.i dont have a clue for building😅..but i love whatcur doing.happy building Sir.❤

[@StB55-oi9yp]

Good day young lady. Just want you to know we’re all praying for you and your family. Your husband is very talented, and lucky to have such a fine family. God bless.

[@user-kr5ui7ce9u]

I hope the whole family is fine. Stay safe and God bless!!!😊

[@davidfromtexas9681]

Looks amazing! My suggestion for the railings is to mimic what you did in the loft with the natural branch railing.

[@gordonellisjr331]

I second this suggestion. Exactly what I was thinking.

[@nenob796]

Same!

[@jerryinmon2731]

My thoughts exactly!!!!

[@louiswhitehead5938]

I like this idea !!

[@diamondperidot]

Agreed

[@bettymynatt7339]

Happy to see the front porch going up. You're father prepared supplies for your journey and will always be watching over everything you do. God Bless you and your family.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

You are exactly right! It is wonderful, even a couple years after my father's passing, to still receive help from him, via his past provisions for the present build.

[@kingrafa3938]

Thanks for the video Mr. Outsider!

[@marieleopold1625]

I'm sure you can hear 'him'...'This is my son in whom I am well pleased.' You blow me away each vid! The 'thinking' and natural talents you are endowed with are simply beautiful to observe. Thank you for sharing...health and blessings! The only suggestion I would have for a railing would be something that permits as much view as possible. :)

[@gint5414]

I love your ode to your father regarding the field stones. My father was a master carpenter and I so wish he had taught me some of his skills. I hope you share your skills with your daughter should she show some interest.

[@user-mz3xl5dr1c]

You never cease to amaze with your creativity. As I have stated before, simply a piece of art. God Bless.

[@Jeremy_936]

Still the most beautiful cabin on KZbin! You are a true artist and craftsman, my friend. Been watching since the beginning. Love your channel.

[@Dave-1277]

Mr Outsider always gets a thumbs up from me! Great video as always!

[@rsharney1111]

I love you man, stay with it. I’m praying your family has a long and happy life there.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you, my friend. 🙂🙏 God bless.

[@michelj.gaudet5048]

Putting a camera in the top of the tree? 👍🏻PRICELESS! ✨🤗✨

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Ha ha thank you! It was fun putting it up there. 😅

[@user-vv1vh8pm6e]

Showcasing your dad’s beautiful front door. A tribute to his hard work and memory. May he RIP.

[@Karen-et9hq]

I just watched the last video and found out about your Dad. I am so very sorry for your loss 😢 My heart goes out for you and your family. ❤

[@Karen-et9hq]

I am now watching the one finishing up the inside, your Dad is so proud of you, looking down at you with love 🙂

[@kristian6622]

Your camera skills are consistently improving man! As soon as I see your video appear, i click 🙂

[@zekelucente9702]

I agree regardless of the duration between videos my interest not only remains, but grows stronger. The cabin is a truly organic and faithful homage to your father and your wife and daughter. Wishing you many years of joy.

[@susanalbone5101]

Lovely to see you. I wouldn’t insult your exceptional building skills by suggesting what railing or steps to create for the porch. I’m sure yours will like be like no other with your unique style and eye for detail. ‘ Fill your boots’ as we would say. Regards to your wife and daughter. Take care, keep safe. ❤ Dorset, UK

[@tinydancer7426]

I won't be at all surprised if he builds railings and stairs similar to the railings and stairs to the loft.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Much appreciated, my friend. I'm never insulted by creative people and their ideas. Helps to keep me creative too. All the best!

[@j.s.613]

Of course, log stairs with either the same railing as the loft or some sort of iron ridge welded wire galvanized fence similar to cattle panels but smaller in diameter with pine rails and a gate or in the theme of the front door maybe wrought iron to help keep the critters out away from the front door. Anything you choose is going to look awesome as always, lol. Your dad would be so proud as all of us are. Great video once again, and thanks for sharing.

[@richardwright345]

Thats nice about those rocks. Looks like your pop is still helping out. I started watching about 2 mos. before you dads passing and I cried too. Sorry for your loss but I know the LORD is with you always. With love and respect from my heart.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Much appreciated, my friend. 🙂🙏 God bless.

[@SuperMaosy]

Your wealth of knowledge is immeasurable. I love to watch people build. That being said, watching your build from start to finish with just right amount of narrative is so enjoyable and for some reason so tranquil.

[@roxanasmith7745]

So glad to see the start of the porch,and the rock for the strength and stability. God bless you and your family.

[@jefferyholland]

What a great addition to the cabin.

[@sherryceltic9856]

My David and I have been watching since the beginning. We feel like part of the extended family, all of us here in the comments and watching. David is very sick and in the hospital but I know this new video will raise his spirits. We wish you all a blessed day. ❤

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

I said a prayer for David's speedy recovery. God bless!

[@zekelucente9702]

The power of this kind of genuine content means so much to so many people. God bless you.

[@zekelucente9702]

God bless you and your family during this difficult time. My prayers and those of many more are coming your way.

[@maryricketts8526]

Beautiful. You are so talented and live in a beautiful area with all you need to build. God Bless all.

[@drakeg3337]

❤ Nice work as always! Your dad is proud every day.

[@jlh0440]

A black iron balusters to match the hardware on the door would look nice, but in reality it is your choice as you have a vision in your mind! Great build, been following since the beginning.

[@jeannemarcinek4575]

Love the porch, it seems so simple to put together. The field stone was put there it is if your dad and grandfather knew you would use it. As far as the railing keep it as a reflection of the log cabin. So, stay safe, warm/cool, and blessings.

[@christopherrafferty6164]

Fun thoughts - As you dragged the massive boulders in place, I got an impression of the cabin WAY in the future, several generations out. A "contingent" of folks were nestled together near the stove and it's heat, everything pretty much the same as we see it here with any added things accomplished since this video of course. They talked and laughed and marveled at the work it must have taken and spoke of you and your dad working together, side by side. What an "imanginable" place you've created and imbued your love with. Then someone announces it's time to leave and, one by one, each of the families pop out of sight intsantly until the room is empty. You see, they were all light-years apart, in different universes, holographic type traveling is now available. And we are spread across distances "unimaginable" to us now. Still, your family's efforts stand hard and fast, those boulders and the stones from the pile your dad might have made so many years before, helping to enusre generations to come will still meet here, remembering who enabled this family gathering place. It was because of your love for each other, and us, this is not lost on me. Love is the key to life, the key to everything. Love back to you and wish you and yours the best thoughts always, all ways... Dream big my freind!

[@reneeparker7475]

Make the railings and posts similar to the ones you made for your loft. As for the steps, make the top step wider and have them go all the way across the deck. The rest of the steps should be in centered on the front door and be of a comfortable width and rise for you. So far I'm liking this deck and it's so good to see you back and building. Stay safe and be well, friend.

[@rq7179]

Do you mean the top step like a "skirt/bench" around the deck?

[@reneeparker7475]

@@rq7179 Yes. It can serve a great place to just sit and enjoy the view.

[@jimkoval4725]

@@reneeparker7475 That would work great because the deck looks a little thick right now.

[@ASilverLining60]

Around time stamp 14:00 you could hear a racoon in the forest. I have to say Mr. Outsider, you are one talented and innovative dude!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Good ear! Yes, there was a racoon mama with her babies in a hollow of one of the maples behind me.

[@johnthomson1579]

All continues to be finished to a very high standard. Trust you and your family are well and filled with faith. I’d make a railing that follows the shape of the present wood used on the cabin. I’d have stairs like the flooring, A certain simplicity is what makes this building elegant. It is simple rather than rustic.

[@cheryls7782]

I’d like to think of those rocks as another contribution by your father to a strong foundation in your life! 🙏🏻

[@judyeverett4553]

looks beautiful. the wax tip will come in handy for a lot of people I'm sure.

[@leapingkitties]

I love the wax protection solution, that's pretty brilliant. I look forward to seeing what you do in way of stairs etc. Thanks for sharing.

[@marcuskaufman5412]

Whatever you do for railings will be fabulous, no doubt. My only contribution is to suggest you check your line-of-sight viewing angle while seated on the deck so that the top of the rail does not obscure the view.

[@davidjenkins1958]

Good to see a video from you Outsider, I hope and have been praying your family is well and will continue to do so. GOD BLESS !!!

[@elizabethbarberis9058]

The ripples of time - your father's actions as a child, moving all those stones, now provides the foundation for your viewpoint: a place to admire the Now, whilst seeing the Past and imagining the Future. Apart from all that, I love the home you've all built together. I should imagine that the finishing touches will be just as they should. That will certainly ensure that they match all your realised dreams so far.

[@nickischwab205]

I could not say it any better than you!! I just had to reply, The Outsider is such a wonderful human being. I've been watching him for years. There have been so many happy exciting videos from him. I've been through the tough times as well. He has his Dad's work ethic and dedication. He is a great example of what a man should be!

[@rr8960]

It’s so impressive what you’ve accomplished..from dragging the boulders, drilling in them, to the beams sealer for the deck. Can’t help but think your dad is looking down from heaven and smiling. God bless!

[@wandaschmidt4046]

Yay! The finishing touch has begun!! The railing would look fabulous if you make it much like the railing inside the cabin. The branches would look great especially if you make it of cedar. Long lasting and beautiful.

[@RJ-go3sn]

Your craftsmanship in all things you do is beyond superb! I know you have given the credit to your father for teaching you, but I can't help but think he would be profoundly proud of the incredible job you do with each given task! Wanted to mention, too, that I truly appreciate your videography skills! All you do to bring the incredible chronicle of your cabin is simply a feast for our eyes! Thank you, Mr. O.! Am excited to see the finished design you've chosen for the porch!! Blessings.

[@alrad5686]

Very nice workmanship on the new deck. It looks great on the front of the cabin. Stay safe my friend.

[@sherrynordan9821]

Like all of your craftsmanship, everything done right and to a T! It’s just beautiful! I wouldn’t want to suggest anything for you, you’re the best at picking out what you want for your cabin. Can’t wait to see what you choose! Love from Georgia 🇺🇸 U.S.A.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

My vote for railing is whatever you decide upon. 👍👍👍

[@livelife4471]

Well, you made quick work of that. Changing topics to Tin-tin. I remember one spring I was at my camp and came across a coyote. The animal didn't seem to be afraid of me. We got about 10 feet apart before it moved off to my left. I turned around and returned to my camp. The coyote followed me at a distance of about 10 feet. All summer long this coyote would follow me on the lawn tractor as I mowed the lawn. Different. I have no explanation for it but there it was, supervising me to ensure I did a good job of mowing the lawn.

[@susanhamilton1822]

Your channel and Martijn Doolaards are my favorites. You are both meticulous crafters and a joy to watch as things are done right every time. I thank you. I enjoy your videos very much.

[@shiningwarrior1957]

Assembling a porch like assembling a wardrobe from Ikea,perfect!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

As long as it lasts longer than an Ikea wardrobe, then I'll be happy. 😄👍

[@guypellerrin5441]

We all know someone that would be proud how you finishing the cabine you built together...We all keep is memory when we watch you ..Dont stop

[@IngDebo]

I'd add full length stairs across the front, to allow for plants and I'd screen it in to extend the living space. I'm out here cheering for you and your family!

[@bruceleealmighty]

Thanks for the Easter Egg of an opening. There are so many ways to accomplish a goal. Your practicality personifies ingenuity often absent from most of us.

[@BartBuzz]

I never try to imagine what comes next. Your designs and workmanship always exceed my expectations! The thought and preparation that go into your projects are beyond amazing.

[@schaefer32100]

I am amazed at your skills in building things on your cabin. It is always a good seeing you build something. Thank you

[@joancoleman1228]

The first episode I watched was when you and your dad were dragging in the boulders and placing them for the cabin. What an amazing journey you’ve taken us on. Thank you and sr. Outsider.

[@genevievebakkensen86]

Love the new deck so exciting to see the continued development of your forest home your family is so proud of all that you do for them. You channel your dad’s creative talents and energy 🥰

[@MerwinARTist]

I'm happy to see how many have mentioned your father .. we all know why! I think we are all proud of the simple elegant craftmanship you display! Great build! 🙂

[@elierejaili9970]

What is an amazing job Mr outsider. The deck looks just gorgeous. You made my weekend this morning. I wait impatiently for your posts from weekend to weekend. Many thanks for sharing with us a piece of beauty and marvel in midst of a noisy and increasingly ugly times… this is really cheering up to watch the beauty and dedication in action. God bless and protect !!

Two front porch videos in one weekend is pretty nice. Nik Rijavec finished his off in a video yesterday. Very nice, Sir, a great base.

[@maryfowler8246]

Watching you peel that cedar bark is as satisfyingly as peeling protective plastic film off stainless steel or a new TV 😀 If Norm Abram were to build a log cabin, it would look much like yours. You are clearly a fellow master at work.

[@stevedavid2315]

Another fantastic video, this is hands down the best cabin build on KZbin. Do the branches for your railing like you did in the loft, that will look like a million $$$.

[@tomasperez8595]

I appreciate your craftsmanship and your attention to detail to build for aesthetics and for longevity. I loved the mitered corners of your fascia boards. Your daughter’s grandchildren will benefit from your builds. Appreciate you brother.

[@brucesimpson8579]

The Outsider's designs are always outside the norm but turn out to be solid and long-lasting.

[@robertcolvin3182]

Its always great to watch your episodes, one after another. I'll never use any of the skills you possess but watching you and your dad, and now you, always gives me great a feeling that the two of you have and are doing something great. Looking forward to your next chapters...

[@peterbyers2357]

Looks fantastic. You are very talented and gifted in terms of your woodworking skills. Your Dad would be so pleased and proud with how your cabin has developed. Stay safe and well.

[@TheKobiDror]

First, it's an awesome deck. Especially with the boulder foundation. Perfectly matches the house foundation. Since you've asked: I would do stairs left and right with a front railing. But you do you and I'm sure it'll look as awesome as the foundation.

[@jenfern6490]

Would love to see a wide staircase across the front . It provide extra seating when outside and provide places for things to dry out and would open the space up to that magnificent deck . Cabin is just spectacular ❤

[@naikjoyx4291]

I love watching people work while eating ice cream

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Fair enough. 👍😄

[@tourlounette]

This cabin will last for ever, minimum 500 years in my opinion. I hope it will always stay in your family, your grand-grand children. As always a perfect job. No surprise your wife is proud. 😘

[@CC-Rider4564]

Outsider the deck looks amazing your dad would be very proud of you! I sure do miss him he & I used to chat a lot, hopefully I'll see him again someday in heaven. God Bless you your wife and daughter & family. I can't wait to see the railings on the porch when you're done. My personal opinion I think a miniature log configuration to match the cabin would look great. Or wroth iron railings to match the huge Door 🚪 you and Senior outsider built would also be awesome 😎, GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHER IN CHRIST ✝️.

[@joannetutor4051]

I would build a wide stair with natural branches for the railing. I would also somehow incorporate the names of your families especially your Dad. Maybe carve them in with your router. The deck already looks amazing. You are a tremendous craftsman and I so enjoy your channel❤

[@suedavis681]

Another great video. I like the idea of using the same railing as you used for your loft. I so appreciate you work ethic, ingenuity and commitment to your God and family.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you! 🙂🙏 They are the reason why I build.

[@peggyjean5530]

I would do the exact same thing that you did on the railing inside your cabin. They are absolutely gorgeous. The cabin looks beautiful and I hope you and your family enjoy it for many years.

[@h2energynow]

Always impressed of the many different camera angles and placement of cameras as you go by. Work as always is amazing.

[@BulletproofPastor]

Deck spacing: I saw where a man decked his utility trailer with fresh milled planks. He butted the boards tight but when it dried the boards shrunk and spacing was perfect. I'm keeping that trick in my hat. Thanks for another great video.

[@kristinkristin4467]

You are so talented! Your Dad taught you well and you have expanded on those lessons to create your dreams! Well done!

[@joselula2493]

Great job and so beautiful.

Waking up to see a new outsider video is always the best way to start my weekend. Excellent work sir, she’s coming along nicely

[@michaelbrooks2751]

I'm glad you have the memories of your dad and him helping you with the Cabin. I had my dad help me build a cabinet that I still have. I lost him in 2014! Keep the memories alive to pass down to your children. So they have the stories when they are at the cabin when you are gone. It is a lasting family legacy for their children. Keep going strong and great job on the deck.

[@shadejuggalo]

Just want to say thank you! You're idea of using an A frame to move logs was perfect. It helped my father and I be able to move logs on our property! We made a modified version and recently moved a sweet gum log that weighed close to 800lbs. So much easier with your A frame idea. Thank you for sharing it, it would've taken us a lot longer to figure it out if my dad hadn't seen your videos!

[@patriciaherman6499]

You are artist and love your vision of the cabin and how you finish the porch/ deck will be just as beautiful as the Cabin Prayers to Mrs. Outsider. Blessings to you and your family. 😊🇺🇲

[@dallastexas4844]

Nice job, your Dad would be proud of how you carry on his teachings of craftsmanship of knowledge he passed along to you. I sure you miss him greatly. I had always enjoyed watching you working together in the building process of this lovely home. Just my thoughts...

[@joeblanco6183]

My simple mind says mimic the bedroom loft rail and spindles but I could never match a design idea that you will come up with!! So, surprise us and it will be just magnificent just like every other Part of the cabin. You are such an incredible craftsman, Husband, Father and Son! God bless you and your beautiful family. 🙏

[@Karen-et9hq]

I just watched the second one, when you put your Dad's flannel jacket on your daughter and tears still coming. God bless you all.

[@ardenfreyjr.5500]

It is always great to see your videos. Keep up the beautiful work and as always I keep praying for your family.

[@paulc5y1c5o0]

Make the porch railing like you did in the loft. I am sure that whatever railing you do put on the porch will definitely not disappoint. Keep up the good work. God bless my friend

[@heidipustelniak652]

Very brave to be working in the rain! But, I suppose it rains quite a bit up there. When we lived in Alaska, if you let rain or snow stop you from doing things, you’d never get anything done! Here in Arizona, we pray for rain!

[@jimwilloughby]

I really like that old Massey. As for the railings and steps for the porch, I recommend matching the railings and stairs to the loft inside.

[@leeorron8684]

I agree with all the previous comments. 2 practical tips: • Wide staires in front of the door, so that it will be exesible for bringing large things into the cabin. • incorporating an iron grill into the bottom staire, for scraping mud from the soles of the shoes.

[@zekelucente9702]

Great to see you back working on the cabin. You’re a strong faithful man that is continuing the work you and you’re father started while still taking care of your family. No matter how much time might transpire I am always interested in what you’re doing. Your workmanship and attention to detail is impressive. Never rushed and always thoughtful. God bless you and your family. Keep it up and we’ll always be here to see what comes next.

[@PBONADUCE]

For the railings, an idea would be using black wrought iron to match the front door black iron hardware. IDK if appropriate for that weather. Otherwise, regular tree branches as used of the back door. Great job! Congrats ! Always following your hard work. 👏

[@relyks1999]

Every job you do is top notch. You never take shortcuts

[@cush3230]

Thank you for sharing all of you videos, its such a joy to watch the amazing work you do so well. Until next time; be Blessed. MC.

[@CA-lg1do]

Since you asked me for my opinion I'd love to see the same kind of railing you have inside... the natural branch aesthetic, specially how you did it, is so beautiful...
