I prefer how you don't often post new videos but when you do they are full of amazing content. Definitely a case of quality over quantity. 😊

[@ladysmith3988]

I like both styles. This one focuses on one project at a time. Others sort of show the time span it takes and how they accomplish really difficult issues.

[@dshares]

Yep. With the long periods in between I might even prefer long videos, like 30-40 min videos instead of 20 min.

[@annemariepienaar2007]

Agree 100%

[@theseattlegreen1871]

I've always preferred quality over quantity in any aspect of life

[@MrPossumeyes]

I enjoy Outsider posts, whenever they arrive in my Notifications list.

[@Elizaw342]

I just keep thinking how proud your dad is of every choice you make finishing the cabin! Beautiful work..thank you

[@intentionaloffside8934]

On Father’s Day especially. They never really leave, they’re part of every fibre of their children. Mine’s been gone for 25years.❤️U Dad!

[@kurtbaker4078]

I "talk" to my Dad every day. He passed in 1991. Funny how I still get inspiration from him.

[@christinenanaguy1143]

🙏It is comforting to know that you and your family are safe from the wild fires. Our prayers go out to the brave firefighters that are battling the wildfires. This is the first year that Colorado has enough rain to stave off fires before they become worse like the past years that we have had. 🙏, your twig railing is stunning! Stay safe , be well, God Bless you and your family as well.💖

[@nancyrea3863]

Beautiful. My prayer to you and your family and all Canadians suffering with the fires.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you and Amen. 🙏

Amen

[@scottdawe7412]

The railing and the stairs look Amazing!!

[@skepticalmom2948]

The cabin is truly a work of art. Beautiful! ❤

[@Ozmercyful]

A sheer joy to watch your craftsmanship. God has given you an amazing gift. Glad you and the family are safe from the wildfires. 😊

[@mikedeclerck1421]

I follow a number of cabin builders that post on the net. The product you and your dad crafted is truly a work of art. Thank You for sharing your vision with us. GOD BLESS to you and all those suffering the wild fire carnage.

[@peterborchers410]

The cabin is getting better and better. Your Dad would be proud of you!

[@hulkcommander]

Happy Father’s Day to you and all fathers everywhere. I especially like the black pipe grab handles at the top. I think they are a nice tie-in with the hardware on the front entry and bathroom doors. You said it best, “may the winds change and the rains come.” Amen

[@ronkolacek9645]

I'm 74 years old and a very excellent finish carpenter my whole life..I must say you are in the elite few of us who show our skills.....excellent work on everything you do.....I tip my hat....

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

You are too kind, my friend...but I am honored that you would hold my work in such high regard. God bless.

[@evalinawarne1337]

My Father was An excellent woods man , woodcarver, and furniture maker. He grew up in a mountain in Germany 🇩🇪. He could ski very well on one ski through the woods . I love him and miss him so much. My mom too. BLESSED 🙏 Father Day. GOD BLESS YOU.

[@patriotref7536]

@@TheOutsiderCabinawesome work. I’ve been wanting to do a twig railing myself. What kind of branches (wood) did you use?

[@mariemcgillen7401]

And on this fathers day, I to honor the skills that he taught me. You do show respect to everything even the forest from wench that building came. I had an old handsaw ofmy fathers laser cut with. "Nature created the mountains and streams and We created the way to heaven here on earth" Thank you father." . It now proudly hangs on my deck over looking my yard. I am proud to say he was my father and I created this space. My heaven is here.

Simply beautiful!

Lol…I didn’t mean to quote you, but “simply beautiful” is what it is.

[@andrewmckee1156]

This is by far one of my favorite channels, his work, cinematic layout, and design are just wonderful to watch. A great inspiration and I know your father is most proud of your work and success with this channel. God bless

[@jenford7078]

You never fail to deliver a great video along with displaying your great sense of design and reminding all that this is a labor of love for your family and not just a KZbin channel. I'm always glad to see another upload from you. 🌳

[@Pets-n-Treats]

Oh wow, that railing is absolutely gorgeous! And sturdy! I like how it echos the style of the back door! Excellent work! Your dad would have been so proud of the work you have done.

[@robandnell4305]

Your doing a great job. Your dad would be proud of you.

[@jacksak]

I love the way you make form and function blend so well and look good, especially with your ability to build things extra strong without being intrusive.

[@genevievebakkensen86]

We all join you in your prayers for the fire ravaged areas and pray for a drenching rain to still the flames. I was excited to see your post as you do such beautiful artistic work and the railing goes so well w the cabins door. Have a great Father’s Day weekend.

[@toddincabo]

God doesn't care about these fires, he's too busy watching babies get raped and dying of cancer to give a shit.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Absolutely beautiful awesome job. Sending prayers for all Canadians and the to all Emergency responders.

[@helmutsecke3529]

Because of Justine?

[@Vanjonsorz]

Never apologize for doing what's best for you and your family, in your own cabin! We are simply along for the ride, not looking to hold the reins.❤❤

[@kelleygiambro7542]

A stunning addition to the cabin. Prayers for everyone affected by the fire and as always much love and respect from South Carolina. 💗💗

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thanks again Kelley!

[@gbthecamper458]

Absolutely stunning and fantastic workmanship. Love it.

[@randalltaylor3448]

A beautiful function and design. The cabin is developing into a masterpiece. Your father looking down on you and your family must be proud!

[@YAUUN]

It was already a masterwork, its becoming a work of art

[@Doc1855]

During the Canadian wildfires several people from our area in north central Washington state went into Canada to help fight the fires. We were honored to help our neighboring country.

[@crewealex1125]

Like everything in the cabin, the rails and ladder have been built like you don't want your grandchildren to have to fix them! Wonderful 🧡

[@nickischwab205]

So very good to see you again! Your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me!! The railing is a grand piece of art and will add so much to the ambiance of the cabin. Since I haven't watched the entire video yet don't be surprised if you hear from me again.

[@mumechita]

One again, another amazing step in this building. Quality, design... edition. Fantastic, as usual. Your father is still helping to you from the sky

[@markgrillo3139]

I would like to address all the prep time. The cutting and cleaning and preparing of all the individual railing pieces, before you put them up. The gathering of all the particular tools and hardware. And then there is the changing of the camera angles. Your 20 minute video requires probably 6 to 8 hours of prep at the very least. I appreciate every second of it. Truly a craftsman. Your mom and dad is looking down on you smiling.

[@soldier-Dave]

You put this out on the right day! Your father will be very proud of you! Stay safe .thank you! Dave 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@cush3230]

Looks like your cabin is coming along very well. Your wife and daughter I'm sure are very proud of the craftmanship you have put into building the cabin. Really looking good. I hope the fires are out soon. MC.

[@mollymorris623]

Your artistic talent, carpentry skills and ingenuity are beyond comprehension .

[@db.mc2]

Thank you, blessings to you and your family 🙏 Always great to hear from you, appreciate you my friend 🙂 🙏For you and your family, everyone affected by the wildfires, and all the firefighters, God Bless, stay safe and take care 🙏

[@T4me69]

That twig railing and staircase is beautiful perfect fit to the cabin’s look it is a perfect match to the outside back door as well. You are definitely a perfectionist and shows in so many ways. You and your Dad have done the best work and touches to a cabin I have ever seen in my life! Thank you for this video, hope your family is doing well and Happy Father’s Day my friend!!! 😊

[@beawild]

Happy Father's Day!!! You and your dad built a beautiful cabin. I'm sure that you treasure the time spent together building it. He must have been so proud of you. He's missed. 🙋‍♀

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

He certainly is. 🙏🙂 Thank you, my friend.

[@beawild]

@@TheOutsiderCabin You're welcome. 🙂

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Artistic expression using the limbs from trees refined for the railing. The whole cabin is a work of art.

[@carrie4910]

The railings look amazing! I wouldn’t be able to resist adding fairy lights woven in and out of them.

[@Reet64]

What a great project! The ladder is really sturdy looking and the railing looks great and ties in well with the back door.

[@MegsCarpentry-lovedogs]

Wow! That banister and railings.....so patient, attention to detail, one step at a time....I get that totally as here on PEI we are still on recuperating from hurricane Fiona....I am responsible for the 8 acre home land of conservation forest that flattened or snapped trees in half. Hiring chainsaw people to help as I haul branches to roadside, lift-haul and stack blocked trees to the pallet cribs I make from thrown away from local hardware store in our small village and use the lumber truck tarps they discard once they unload the lumber. I hope in 2 yrs the forest will return to a safer and cleaner state. I made a path system but it is totally blocked from the hundreds of trees that were pushed and uprooted. So "Mr. Jr. Outsider" I totally appreciate your way of going about what you do. One step at a time....keeping the faith it will get done while maintaining quality and feeling good inside about maintaining focus to keep going. Cheers from Central North shore Prince Edward Island. Appreciate deeply your sentiments about the people involved in helping contain the fires and the people and animals who have suffered. 💝🇨🇦

[@HellfireJakee]

You hit it out of the park every time! You dad would be so proud to see the amazing work you've done.

[@MrPossumeyes]

Thanks, man. Really nice railing! Would love to see your family trying the ladder out and giving thumbs up/thumbs down. (they wont sniff at the railing!) Cheers from NZ and I'm glad you're not threatened by fire - so many folks are, or were!!

[@tammaragill9347]

Your twig spindles are wonderful. They tie into your gorgeous back door. You have quite the eye for the smallest detail. Your talents are endless.

[@animallovefest143]

So nice! Your cabin looks similar to my dream cabin. How blessed you, and your family are to be so skilled in building something so beautiful. Best wishes to everyone affected by the wildfires. I too, pray for winds to change, and the rain to fall! 🙏 From your friend in the USA.

[@mikechamberlin8440]

Long time viewer here you are such a beautiful person your grace your kindness and your gentleness is a testament to who you truly are thank you for all your awesome vlogs. Mike

[@nancyrichter3016]

As you get older, you will be glad you went with 8" risers on that gorgeous ladder/stairs unit. Any higher will be very difficult on the hips and knees for most anyone over 50. :-) The twig railing looks magnificent! It's a great addition to your beautiful cabin.

[@bethdurbin3279]

I live in Ohio and the smoke from the forest fires was brutal on us here. My throat was burning from the smoke. The railing turned out so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us. God Bless you and your family.

[@JosEPh-zy3yr]

Praying for Canada to be set free. Be Blessed.

[@user-rp6nf9sz6t]

Quite a beautiful railing you have made, your dad would be proud of you son.

[@lorenztor1990]

love that he would redo that whole project for his family

[@househen1]

Your cabin is so beautiful! Great job!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

The twigs are a work of art. The stairs remind me of a steel wheelhouse ladder on a ship I once served on. It's good you will rebuild the stairs if necessitated by family choice. 👍👍👍

[@gailcurl8663]

Hope Your Precious Family are Well and Happy. You, My Friend Are a "Master Builder"!! I Have Watched You and Your Dad From The Beginning With This Magnificent Build. This Is One Beautiful and Sturdy Cabin. Your Ideas and Craftmenship You Implement Into The Design Of The Cabin Are Awesome. I Love How You Consider Your Wife and Daughters Feelings in This Build. "A Man's Home Is His Castle, but His Family Is His Greatest Treasure"!! Take Care, Stay Safe and GOD BLESS!!

[@johnthomson1579]

Another example of a master craftsman. God has gifted you. I trust you will know his blessing in trusting him.

[@myrtle7043]

Absolutely beautiful! Creative and amazing! Perfect 10 😊❤️🙏

[@Uncleroger1225]

As usual, a stunning and completely unique approach to a mundane element of a room, a railing. Code in the US is a 7" rise but its your cabin and no inspector to challange it. We pray for the fire stricken people and animals affected by the fires. Thanks for sharing your talents in thought and execution , God Bless.

[@alanhooker9584]

Blessings to you, Brother and your Family! Thank Father God, that the fires have escaped you. You are a Craftsman! Your dad and you have built a wonderful cabin. I know that you are hurting for you dad, but just remember, if your dad believed in Jesus and the Gospel, as you and I do, then you will be with him again. Blessings again Brother!

[@markbrown1011]

Always enjoy your videos, I have been watching you and your dad build your beautiful cabin together. As you and your family celebrate fathers day, I am sure your memories will bless you as you think about your dad. I pray that your wife is well, please continue to glorify the LORD in all that you do.

[@mikeschmitz7057]

Amazing! Your imagination for the look you want in the cabin is outstanding. You must be very proud of the accomplishments so far. Love it!

[@armidaperez5360]

❤ Happy Father's Day That tailing looks awesome 👍

[@stunnedatsunset7649]

That cabin--complete with loft and staircase--is a thing of beauty, Outsider!

[@tenzindasel1780]

Appreciate all your attention to function and form, and also guessed you had others in mind when building such tight steps. How wonderful that is! Appreciate that you always say “God Bless” and so as a Buddhist nun shall say in return “Buddha bless, too!”

[@jeanhawken4482]

So thoughtfully planned. Built with love and care.

[@tedhewitt4299]

Looks great. I'm surprised how light color the logs are yet inside & out.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you! ...Yes, once the logs are dry and under a good roof, they really hang onto their colour. I'm curious to see how many years it will take until they turn silver.

[@feizhou1013]

Very appreciated of your genius work, would you please show us the actual size of this great cabine or even more to show us the detailed drawings,that would be great helpful for us to understand it. Hope you and your family all safe and healthy.

[@consueloperez7578]

I am so glad to know that you and Mrs Outsider are well. We here in New York City had a few rough days with the smoke, I am sure you saw the photos of the city totally Orange...the whole city looked like Mars...the smell of Burnt wood was pretty strong, my throat was affected for one day. Most places send their employees to work from home. Thankfully we got some rain and it cleared out the air. I will keep Canada in my prayers as you guys up there are the "LUNGS" of the North American Continent...we need you!!! Many blessings and stay safe ! Consuelo

[@skozra]

Great stuff as always !

[@DennisFederwitz]

Thank you for the updates on the wildlife’s and thinking of all who have been impacted. Here in NE Wisconsin, we have been impacted since early May with many stretches of “Air quality alerts”. Stay safe!

[@colinmoeller]

I am continually amazed by, not only the craftsmanship, but the artistry!

[@derekwalters4980]

AMEN to all the Firefighters and support crew and volunteers that are out there on the lines! I'm in California, and we are constantly aware of the importance and need of these amazing and giving people. Such a blessing. Many years ago now my grandmother lost almost everything in a house fire, she was in her early 80's and she had a bird that she loved. Not only did the firefighters save almost half of her home, but the side of the house that was burning had her bird in it, which they went in and got for her. Honestly, looking back now, I don't think she could have recovered from this had she not gotten that darned bird. She knew the house could be rebuilt, but she'd had many years with that bird and his loss would have been profound. Having him gave her hope and the desire to rebuild and get their home back. As crazy as I thought that was back then, now I get why they try so hard to save pets, because sometimes that's what helps people's emotional and mental well-being as they take on the future. I'd always thought it was a waste of time, but that is no longer how I think at all. Even if it's just a bird. After losing two husbands, she really needed that bird, and the firefighters understand this more than most.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you for sharing that harrowing, yet heartwarming story of your grandmother. 🙂🙏

[@anthonyrondolino8148]

Wonderful artistic creativity and great editing. Prayers for the fire fighters and those affected.

[@charlessessions7293]

[@437AlBig]

I love your work. Everything looks amazing. I like how you mention that if your wife and daughter don't think it will work for them you will change it. That shows how much you love them. Our log home is finally finished and we moved in about one month ago. We are loving it.

[@skydiver6711]

You have continued to impress me through this entire build. I have been watching you from the very beginning when you were picking out trees to cut and laying out the cabin site. There were times when I would be thinking, "just go ahead and nail of board up and get it done so you can go on. And now that we see the nearly finished project, I"m so glad you did it your way instead of mine. Great job and may God continue to bless your family.

[@corbeilville]

Those beautiful half-arches would be perfectly incorporated on the front door porch. Chef-d'oeuvre.

[@mikemmikem2758]

That twig railing is absolutely stunning. Watching you work is like watching Rembrandt paint one of his masterpieces. Stay safe and may God continue his work in you. On another note I live in Daytona Beach Florida and when we had the fires in 1998. I remember leaving our home and watching embers coming over our roof. We did not lose anything but the sometimes deadly force of nature is never to be taking lightly - as we can see by all our hurricanes and the incredible fury of water and wind.

[@ladysmith3988]

The rails are wonderfully organic! Stairs are nice, too... modify as necessary for the girls. 💚

[@terrancemiller8350]

Your creative juices are a tribute to your father's great chemistry with your mother and we get to enjoy a wonderful YOU. The railing matches the back door, yes that wonderful back door, I'm still amazed how fantastic your creative mind put that together, I smile everytime I think about it. I'm more than proud of you son and your father has a big O smile on his face checking out your progress. Superior work my boy. Lots of love. Afriend.

You are right. It is a definition of your taste and personal touch that is giving it a soul. These twig railings and the ladder were so beautiful I HAD MY WIFE CALLED TO SEE IT, she appreciated it very much. 😁😁😎😎👍👍

is there anything you don't know how to build? simply amazing! good to know the fire is not affecting your family.

Unique and complementing the total interior of the cabin. What a celebration it will be when the three of you can celebrate the completion of the built! But then, when is it really completely finished? Enjoy it together for many occasions, under the blessing of the Lord! Only then will it be a real celebration!

[@karimfakhourie642]

The cabin is beautiful, I particularly like the way you and your father have overbuilt everything. One thing I could suggest to you if I may is to insert glass into the facets on the Gable end those triangular facets you have would look nice with triple-glazed glass

[@b5maddog]

My wife and I are always and completely in awe watching you develop and perfect your projects. You are truly blessed and proof God is with you. Where did you receive the knowledge of all your crafts? Building, creativity and film editing. Did you go for schooling, self taught or passed on from your beloved father or a little of all? Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family always ❤

[@tricityladytn]

Your craftsmanship is amazing. It's been a joy to watch you over the years, first with the little cabin, then with this epic project, and all the smaller projects in between, like the pop up cabin or the snow mobile camper. I hope the winds & rain will cooperate to end the wildfires. I know how stressful it is to you , even though the fires are not near you, knowing that your countrymen are in peril. I pray that the danger will end soon.
