awesome. Charlie owns that chair

Thanks! Yeah Charlie thinks he owns every piece of furniture

You have such a calming voice. Really find it nice to just kick back and relax while watching you build something neat. Most of the time I get an idea or two for a project of my own. Thanks for posting these videos :D.

[@blackspruce1861]

Thank you !! one thing I never thought I had until I did KZbin was a nice voice . glad you enjoy them !!

I thought the same thing, very calming.

[@Duncangonefishin]

Cabin is looking amazing ! At first, I wasn't sure about the red heat shield, but it turned out perfect, well done.

[@blackspruce1861]

thanks! I wasn't too sure about it at first either but knew I could just flip the metal over if it didn't look good, but man red looks really good with natural wood. im pretty stoked how everything turned out . thanks again !

[@HumbleServant3777]

Yeah, I agree. I think that 2nd coat put the finishing touch on it.

I love e the cabin build, however, I really love how you honored your wife’s wishes. Kudos to you for a build well done. I know your wife will be forever grateful. 🙏

[@blackspruce1861]

Thanks !! you must be talking about the red for the heat shield . I actually have another video on the channel I built another little cabin completely the way she wanted it for her .

Amazing build, loved all the details like the hickory coat rack. Fought back memories if my dad’s shop.

Tina picked a great color, 2 coats, perfect, very nice install too.

[@blackspruce1861]

She sure did red looks great with natural pine . Thanks!

[@MegaLivingIt]

Your cabin is so cute! Having the porch roof like an extension of the main roof gives the illusion of a larger building and the woodsy green tint looks lovely. Love to make one like this. Cheers!

[@blackspruce1861]

Thank you !!

[@pigseye2]

Your improvements look great. Loved the tour. You're wife is right, the red looks much better than shiny metal. Another great video. Thanks

I must say, the idea of using a pump sprayer for applying stain, way out off-grid, is absolutely brilliant. I don't care if it was your idea or not, THANK YOU for that suggestion!

[@blackspruce1861]

thanks ! I'm really happy with the way it turned out . thanks Jim

[@nancyholm2995]

It so beautiful! I love the birch rails and the coatrack. That red is perfect behind the stove. It’s amazing how small things can really make a cozy cabin feel more inviting.❤

[@ronhight8213]

Ryan, love the Hickory Coat Rack. The little detailed touches to the Cabin really makes it stand out. Awesome update! Thank you very kindly Sir!

Hello Ruth

[@jeffm.5439]

I am really enjoying your videos! You illustrated perfectly that a simple solar system can work very very.efficiently. There are armchair solar commandos out there who would say you need expensive.12V fuse blocks on these small systems and.other.things. You showed perfectly.that you.don't. Proper thickness wire sized for the.amps it will be carrying and good inexpensive heavy duty in-line fuse holders with the.lowest workable fuse size are totally adequate.

[@blackspruce1861]

awesome !! I'm glad you're enjoying them . I do like to keep it simple . I honestly didn't think of fuses at first so I am thankful for some of the comments . In my camper build I ended up using a 12volt fuse block from Napa it has 6 spaces and cost maybe 15 bucks I really liked doing it that way it kept it a little neater but inline works just as well

[@marieleopold1625]

Man oh man,so beautiful, I was a fiberglass boat builder for about 33 years, but I don't have near the knowledge or skills that you have been blessed with. I so much enjoy watching you do these, I could watch all day. It's very inspirational to me.i hope some day I have the opportunity to meet you and tell you what an impact and inspiration you have given me to at least try to build something so nice with my own hands. Thank you for that!!! Bob Little. Fla .

[@blackspruce1861]

Thanks Bob!! That’s really nice to hear. I’m sure you can build something really nice. I would love to learn how to build Kevlar and carbon fiber canoes . Is the process similar to what you did?

[@robertlittle8672]

Kevlar and carbon fiber are much more difficult to work with. I helped a buddy build a off shore racing boat, very involved, very expensive for all the products to laminate with. Not really my cup of tea. Thankyou for your response, I sure enjoy your channel!

Watching this over makes me feel like I could do this. We spent yesterday outside and took the bricks from flower bed and made a fire pit out back. Now going to take a downed tree and cut it into sections for front of flower bed. Spent most of night outside last night with a bit of dryer lint for Firestarter and then made a teepee of small sticks and grew it bigger and made a campfire and made smores and roasted bratwurst. It was amazing

that's great because you can do it ! that sounds like a pretty good day and good trade flower bed for fire pit

[@Fat2Fit5k]

@@blackspruce1861 it took most of the day to plastic the roof as I couldn't climb on it as it was really rough shape. 2 pieces of plastic first then we finished up with a 1x6 decking board and stapled contractors bags to it and nailed it on halfway up then stapled it all down. Trimmed the briar patches down around the building and spare house and finished taking down the pool. My back is feeling it now
