the man is not a "woodworker" ... he is an ARTIST ! Beauty in building. Well done!

[@jorgemontefusco650]

Ya really didn’t need the music. Very distracting. Very annoying.

[@bfe671]

I cannot overstate this when I say that this video is the the absolute pinnacle of this whole cabin series. The edit is incredibly good and reminded me that I’ve been following this build for a few years now. I know you spent a ton of time to make this video just right and it definitely shows! What a ride!! Thanks for bringing us along Mike! I hope you enjoy this project for many decades and look proudly on the work you’ve accomplished.

[@50Acres]

Hey Brandon, really glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-eo4wl1wz6h]

Very nice job. Enjoyed seeing the creativity in the cabinetry as well.

[@gafairbanks2434]

I have extreme respect for one's abilities to build "from scratch " as you have done. Blending in with Nature and maximizing area space . LOVE YOUR WOOD WORK CHOICES! BREATHTAKING! Thank you for posting your venture. 💞🕊

[@50Acres]

Thank you so much, very kind of you.

[@dedwardskbd]

I divide your videos into the hair, and the post hair periods. It's been fun watching them all.

[@50Acres]

haha thanks

[@AdirondackJenScott74]

The toolbelt spin/ pencils in the pocket-perfect!

[@srf2112]

When I saw you putting all those pencils on you I knew you were an experienced carpenter. 😂👍

[@50Acres]

I like to always keep enough on hand to last at least half a day.

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

That's not a Cabin.....it's a Piece of Art. Great Work Mike.....Glad I could be a tiny part of it. Best Wishes

[@tardismole]

Stumbled upon this gem by accident. And I'm so glad i did. The little details make this cabin really pop.

[@Richard-nd7np]

This is a dream for me that will never come true.

[@deeanna5814]

Gotta love someone who uses their own knowledge and skills and reads books to fill in the gaps Watching a vid is great when you have an emergency and lack the skills, but nothing beats knowing and learning

[@goingagainstthegrain]

It's an intense feeling of rewinding and seen all that you've accomplished. As the years fast forward, this will be enjoyed by you and your family. Great job, Mike!

[@50Acres]

Thank you!

[@christophercummings5820]

Great video - you need make one of those 8 hour long KZbin timelapse loop videos of nothing but shingles. Best part is Bea just standing there watching you work like "what are you doing?"

[@50Acres]

lol! I enjoyed the parts with Bea watching.

[@TornadoChickWeatherNetwork]

FINALLY a cabin build video with GOOD music and not that techno garbage. THANK YOU

[@Boydmt68]

Mike, you truly have a "Gift" with wood, as well as your other building ideas. God bless both of you!! 🙏

[@50Acres]

Thank you so much Michael.

[@douggibson9084]

Great video 👍👍 Mike.

[@genevamerrick1833]

How to build a million dollar cabin in the woods ... piece by piece ... doing every little bit ...all by yourself ! ... congratulations man ... ( You did it ) !!

[@50Acres]

Thanks 👍

[@MACKCHIEV100]

I'M JEALOUS OF THIS GUYS VISION AND SKILL IN A GOOD WAY. WOW! GREATNESS!

[@50Acres]

Thank you!

[@keithmoody8884]

Dude you are an amazing craftsman you should be very proud of what you have accomplished. I’m a woodworker but not to your degree. I cried when I watched you. Amazing

[@sydneyevans2637]

Mike and Sarah, IT'S BEAUTIFUL !!! You've put your hearts and souls into this cabin. My favorite part has to be the kitchen and all the beautiful details and the choice of wood for it. What I really admire is the fact that you don't mind calling out your "mistakes", Mike. You've done something to be very proud of. My best wishes to you both and can't wait to see you partying in the pond this summer.

[@50Acres]

Thank you so much Sydney. Hopefully we will be partying there this summer!

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

Sporting some pretty long tresses in some of this! 😉😄 My favorite clips: 1. Your editing...excellent❗👍😍 2. The bedroom door. 3. Pockets full of pencils. 4. Campers on the bed quilt.

[@50Acres]

lol I know right!

[@mattbrown7816]

The cedar shake took a long time even in timelapse

[@mikeburnett7028]

WOW, what a beautiful place. You should be very proud

[@TheVineyardFarmhouse]

You should be very proud of all that you have accomplished. Love time lapse builds. Your story and editing skills is top notch. Can’t wait to see where you go from here.

[@50Acres]

Thank you so much 😃

[@dr.w.w.daniels7203]

Master carpenter, well done. Enjoy your cabin and the solitude and quality of life that 50 acres with a home built with your own two hands .

[@50Acres]

Thank you!👍

[@salioundiaye5233]

The kitchen is dope !

[@thetomster7625]

those door-fronts are the first actually cool use of epoxy I've seen so far - lovely. ....as is the whole project!

[@50Acres]

Thank you!

[@drjcwardjr]

The eye 👁true artist!👨‍🎨

[@carolpiirto5613]

I’m floored. (No pun intended)I’ve not seen this vlog before but SO impressed by his art.

[@davidhamilton7628]

I'm jealous of people that have a vision for design like this I have the wood working skills but never developed the design skills. Beautiful work 👏

[@50Acres]

David, you can slowly develop a sense of design. The trick is every time you see something you like, look at it for a long time and really try to understand what it is you like about it. Is it shapes, colors, textures angles etc? Keep thinking about it and then try to integrate those elements into something you do.

[@tovmichaelrebeccacastro9297]

Your HOME IS LITTERALLY THE HEART , THE ART OF LIVING HARMONY OF LOVE!!! ENJOY EVERY MOMENT, LOVE REBECCA

[@hebierob]

Stunningly skilled craftsman’s designer

[@scottd7926]

For those of us that have been here watching since the early days, it was fun to be reminded how all those small projects have come together to make this beautiful cabin. Great job on the editing, and really enjoyed the music selections. Thanks for sharing!

[@50Acres]

Thanks Scott, glad you enjoyed it.

[@bren8309]

Those two tone doors of dark and light colored wood are gorgeous. WOW ... nice place, you did an amazing job.

[@robbiedobbles]

Wow, I forgot about your old school hair! Also forgot about the diagonal drywall between main area and bedroom. Was a nice oh yeah" moment. You are a great craftsman and I wish you continued success.

[@50Acres]

Ha, it got pretty long there.

[@user-fi3ji6zy3q]

Two words: SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL.

[@kissesvenus3268]

I'm fallen in love in that thumbnail, in love at first sight 😍

[@chinoman7234]

Attention to detail is amazing!!!

[@urlkrueger]

I was thinking "Nice detail work" and then you switched on the lights in the lower cabinets and a big smile came on my face.

[@50Acres]

Aww glad to hear that

[@strictlyconservative8777]

This is the most beautiful craftsmanship I have ever seen. Your creativity and skill is unsurpassed! This is the most beautiful work I have ever seen.

[@GeorgeLowrey]

Just beautiful craftsmanship throughout......

[@georgedoganis6708]

Your skills are unbelievably insane Wow !

[@Rusty1995_]

this is a different level of finished carpentry. 11/10 not only with the build but the finish work is out of this world.

[@crazyirishmanartist]

Beautiful, beautiful work

[@chriscapano3406]

Having watched this process for a while, I know you are often your worst critic in the moment. So I have to say I was so happy to see you call your work "amazing"-- because it is! The care and craftmanship you have taken with this entire project is inspiring. The cabin is beautiful and I can't wait to see the next steps.

[@50Acres]

Haha thank you, the YT algorithm basically forces you to use ridiculous titles. I would prefer not to but, have to play by their rules.

[@dustydogonthemoon]

A nice look down memory lane. You have done an outstanding job with a lot of blood sweat and tears. The quality of your work really stands out. Thanks for sharing with the world.

[@50Acres]

Thanks so much David.

[@evanleclaire]

If I could give two thumbs up I would

[@alexkasacous]

When you put it all together in one video like this it is so impressive how far you've come. We are all looking forward to what is coming next - thank you for taking us all along on the journey.

[@50Acres]

Wow, thank you!

Good morning, Mike such great detail to a very nice cabin you've built over the years. Takes a long time when you're not living there and only have so much time to work on it but the end result is like you said Amazing. Great job!!

[@50Acres]

Thanks J mar, I really appreciate it.

[@mollyroberts2458]

[@50Acres]

Thank you very much!

[@andreakeeling9217]

Now, this is what I call LOVE. Look at the amount of love he put into EVERYTHING! That cabin is too small to contain all that love. Time to build a bigger cabin.

[@virginiatolles1664]

So much attention to detail. You do beautiful work!

[@50Acres]

Thank you so much!

[@maurolimaok]

This a dream place for living. Congrats.

[@richardfmurphy01]

This was more magical than a magic hammer! Thanks for putting this together, great job on the editing!

[@50Acres]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@justinneely8045]

I just watched it again. So cool to look back at all the projects. Mike you are a true craftsman. I had forgotten some of the fine touches you put into every detail along the way. When I found your channel years ago you were in the middle of the cabin build. I went back and started watching from the beginning and enjoyed every one. This was a great recap of the project to date. Great idea. It was fun the see all your hair style changes over the years. Lol. My favorite part was the tool belt scene with 27 pencils going in every pocket! Funny part is not being able to find one the next day, if you’re like me with my projects. Anyways, congrats on everything you’ve accomplished. Keep up the good work my friend and God bless.

[@sandralnwebster3204]

Loverly! You mixed light & dark woods together nicely!

[@dragonflyhill5748]

When you built the outdoor shower is when I began following your channel.. I’m glad to see what came before in the time lapse. I love the bedroom door. It’s artistry.

[@hockeyusc22]

Awesome, awesome, awesome job!!!!!

[@HiyazXD345]

the whole build is gorgeous but that little kitchenette really steals the show~! i love the organic curves all over it, especially the backsplash.

[@50Acres]

Thanks so much.

[@juliebaker6969]

Nice to see it all together like that.

[@50Acres]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@thomasschuette1997]

You are an amazing craftsman. Thank you for taking me along on your journey.

[@islander1260]

A lot of extra time, extra money and the experience is all it takes.

[@nevillewhite5193]

Best tradesman I have seen in 50 years of building. He has the attributes of Michael Angelo’s DAVID.

[@50Acres]

Wow thank you so much, very kind of you.

[@polish2x91]

Watching you transition into your comfort zone (building the door, etc) was a real cool moment

[@gailjenkins9197]

This guy has some serious talent, this is the best cabin I have ever seen. It's amazing.

[@50Acres]

Thanks so much

[@pamelahansen5928]

Beautiful workmanship- what an accomplishment💝💝💝

[@TeamFish15]

Amazing skills. Incredible soundtrack! I “Shazamed” all these songs and made a playlist. 😂🤣

[@50Acres]

Lol are you being sarcastic? I feel like one out of every 3 comments is complaining about the music!

[@davidsaunders5890]

Wow! Awesome build, I must say, "You sir, are a craftsmen."

[@50Acres]

Thank you so much!

[@V1N_574]

Those cabinets doors *Dead* just amazing!!!!

[@mdpalash2213]

[@claraalebrook3857]

My in-laws do the same thing.. read some books, made a cabin to live in in the sticks. Well built too... Beautiful cabin you have made . Cabinets are creative. Love your choice of music..

[@50Acres]

That is awesome!

[@j.r.tidwell3318]
