I use re-claimed metal from a giant spool, cut and weld it into a mega big spool which is suspended from the forest canopy to create an extremely unique off grid forest house. In this episode, I work on completing the outside of the ball structure including the cabin door, coverings, hatch, and work through possibilities for inside finishes and waterproofing.
In this episode I work on finishing up all the interior, and some shelves, lamp, and lighting to get it all ready for my overnight camp out. I also work to stabilize the ball so it doesn't make me so sea sick.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.

You need a disco ball for your ball. That would be awesome looking in there.
Put 4 wooden legs on the bottom and let it rest on the ground.
@@whitewashedtombstone right!?!
ORB
this is the first out of dozens of channels pushing these things that actually made me want to buy one. plus the regular content of the vid was great as usual
Suggestion to stabilize ball!:
Use a sturdy metal pipe to run the chain through that the ball is hanging from, make it snug.
The wider the diameter of the pipe the more stable it should be.
To simulate: get a beed or ball, hang from a string and put the string through a straw, when snug, the beed/ball shouldn't be able to move as the straw will hold it down.
This way you still have a truly hanging ball.
Since the pipe needs to be snug, either have a covering to prevent rain from filling the pipe or some notches at the bottom to allow drainage.
Added plus: don't have to drill holes into the ball!
P.S. You should decorate it for Christmas, garland around the posts with Christmas lights and a big bow at the top of the ball, lol.
snug covered pipe!! you dawg!!
👍. Fill pipe w spray foam
What about adding ballast, depending on empty weight a couple hundred pounds super low in/on the structure would also allow it to free stand and not roll without the stand if that was something one wanted
Probably the best Ryan's ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
Hey Kevin - I love the work you do. It is amazing to watch you come up and craft all these different projects. One future video potential, how about doing a tour of all the previous sites and showing up how they're standing the tests of time. I know I always try to imagine where each of the projects are in relation to the other! Thanks for all the great content! Oh and ORB!
I think that video is a great idea.
How can you Not Love Kevin he is so crafty and has a mind that wonders into weirdness and wonders that we all wish we could... one of a kind for sure 🤘🏽💀🤘🏽
And he's got nice balls.😁
I never knew that I wanted a ball collection until now. Never bored watching all these awesome builds!
I think that this build is next level. The acoustics inside are terrific. Great job, I am always excited to see what you are up to next. Cheers
great video as always Kevin! one thing I notice is you're making a fire with a bunch of needles on the ground and that seems really dangerous, sometimes you can't see it, but the fire will catch on the roots in the ground, and it can start a forest fire underneath which is much more dangerous than a fire that is burning above ground. Be careful out there we don't want to see your land catch on fire :)
One day Martians are going to come for you and take you Home ! Your builds are from out of this World and getting wilder each time ! Cheers
Luv you luv you 💓
@@vanessacwomble6600 Thank you very much Vanessa , Love you too !
Ha ha! That’s okay. You’re my “Favorite Martian” that lives in Canada. Well done on the sphere 😊

Orb
Love all of your builds this might be my favorite. IF you have one of the wire cylinders left make a two person shower with a cone roof for water collection. Also if you have a water heater left and a collection tub you could have heated showers. Keep up the awesome work. Love the ORB
Love all your stuff and build
But I want to Buy the grill metal plate send me a link please thanks ❤
I would love to be a fly on the wall when you tell you wife your next build idea. Your builds are cool and unique! I always get excited Saturday mornings to see your new video!
Hahahahahahihihihi😁😆😆😆😆
I like that you shared part of yourself today. It made the reason that you were building the "ball" more endearing.
Orb. I live full-time in an RV. So the orb resonates with me. 😊 I have loved this series! I’m glad to see the stabilization is helping. It would be a shame not to ever use it. So stabilize away. 😃
You should have mounted the stability chains higher, so that they aren't a tripping hazard. Basically hang it from 4 points; one at the top and then 3 hung to each post from the equator. Wobble gone.
These videos are always such a treat. Always enjoy your genius and imagination. Your own vision of Disneyland north! Saturdays are more fun having you to look forward to. Your girls, 4 legged friends, that assistant of yours who we always enjoy seeing…..great team!!
I think you are on the right track and what would have helped it swing instead of wobbling would have been 3-4 points at the top. Even in the absence of any side or bottom anchoring, that should solve the issue so long as the chains are spaced out enough and have equal tension. It might be simple enough to waterproof a little area at the top again than a bunch of points around the sides. Some roofing tar , or another outdoor weathering goop in a little cap/circle on it would probably do it. 3 points spaced around the existing one wouldn't even need to be anchored quite the same as the first, just well enough to stabilize it.
Actually, with all these seasonal rooms, if you added enough outdoor cooking spaces, some toilets and outdoor showers, you could eventually have a nifty little outdoor hotel, especially for 1-3 night stays.
Your creations are very sculpture like.... little, useful installations in the woods!
Since the exterior is wood, you can use glue to attach brackets for rope or chain upward to the middle of the tripod poles, so no need to drill any holes at all.
And if you do need to drill, start from inside and drill outward, can't miss that way.
How much ventilation do you have in there ? In such a small, tight space it doesn't take much CO to do a guy in, maybe a small air vent directly behind the wood stove ?
Orb
I would worries about hitting the shelf in my sleep. Maybe some edging to cover the corners. This looks like it was a time consuming build, nice work.
I love your Orb! You are such the ingenious craftsman! Very cool!
I always enjoy watching .Thank you
Kevin and both Dons.And a special thanks to your beautiful wife and cutie daughter.
Love this!
I was thinking you could build an adaption on to your sauna building, a connected room with an indoor small pool in the ground to cool off after being in sauna?
Would look so cool!
In an Aquaponics set up, we feed the fish everyday between 1.5% to 3% of their total body weight. Feeding extra will just dirty your water column and lower your PH, depleting your KH and GH which I imagine is already low as being a pond it would have all sorts of organic matter ( to guess body weight of all your fish, catch one, weigh it and estimate how many other fish are in your pond then do the math)
Love the ball.
Are you going to set this up as some sort of wilderness guest camp for paying guests?
Orb! very cool, I think you should support it from multiple points on top to keep it floating
ORB!
This cabin by far has the coolest wall aesthetic by far, it looks so cozy, especially with that wood trim and rough walls.
Orb, and Kev you threw us for a loop again.... one of the first videos we've seen you in without a pencil in the ear/hat.... for a long time lol! Great video as always, Cheers from London Ontario.
Probably your best build so far. I really does look like a ball of rubber bands!
You have the best balls Kevin. This episode should have been sponsored by Manscaped
Suggestion to stabilize ball:
* What if dug a buoy(ball-type) a bit down so that it touches the bottom of the ball. This could give the amought of friction that would be
needed for it to stay in place.
* Find 2 tires and cut them in half. Make 2 brackets so that it was possible add a bracket on each end of the half-moon shape the tires would
make. Add one of the brackets to bottom of the ball. The tires would make it more stable cos it's the rubberpart that also needs to be
moving.
* Hammer a rod into the ground. Then make a bracket that would make it possible to mount a spring from the suspention from a car.
Maybe throw a few more chains on and weld each link together, very long process but the look you are going for will still be there, and she'll be sturdy for no sea sickness in the bush. ✌🏻🇦🇺
ORB!! Great paintings. Love your imagination, cant wait to see your next project!
By far my favorite RUclips channel!!! Orb Orb Orb
Orb. I understand the idea with the bottom to stop the swing but I like having it clear at the bottom so you have grass in the summertime there a ball wrapped around green grass in the summer would look neat. I was thinking of an idea of having some straps on the top racing as Louisville Slugger to send you some extension bats say 5 ft bring them down from the tree with a roll of wood roller at the end to where you can screw the Louisville Slugger in and out depending on the weather for swelling and shrinking and having that stop your swinging your seasickness.
Sooo a couple ideas for the stand. My mind wants to go straight to a tripod style stand. Possibly with legs that flip down. Maybe could adapt a camper stabilizer design.
The other idea that came to mind is a single post stand. Would have to be cemented into the ground probably but would be fitting for the sphere. Just one post holding it up out of the ground without hanging from a stand.
Put a tire under the ball as a stabilizing cradle to stop wobble when you get in and weight it down.
Love the ORB Kevin. Great build. Mike from Maine
To stabilise the rocking ball, you could have attached a car tyre inner tube to the bottom, nearest the ground and fastened it to the ground. In that way, the ball would have only been able to rotate slightly, and return to its original position. Worth a rethink?
Love the ORB!
love your ORB and I think she is a wonderful artist
ORB please. BTW, Dad built a geodesic dome with those connectors at least 40 yrs ago. Put a standing seam roof on it. Still being enjoyed as a back in the woods hangout!
Orb! Outdoor Relaxation Ball!! I love it 😀
ORB another great Build 👍👍👍
You did a great job Kevin! You could hang the ball with 4 chains on the bottom into the ground. Like they do at playgrounds. I think they pour cement in sonnet tubes and put O rings in them.
Orb. Regarding motion sickness, I find it helps if you can see outside and the horizon.
Bro just make a steel square and mount it at the bottom of the ball and weld a narrow pipe onto it. Make another square and drill four holes in it and drive metal stakes into it, to the ground. Weld a bigger pipe onto it and interlock the pipes by sliding one into another. Drill a whole through both and add a pull pin!
I like the idea of a base, sort of like a golf tee. Not too tall to keep the the original cool look of the big ball cabin. Maybe you good lower it onto it when you want to have an overnight stay.
Thinking this too but could not figure out how to describe. The golf tee analogy is perfect.
Love the videos and ideas you come up with. Thanks for all the amazing content!
Orb! Also, love the spider hole. You rock!
You may want to place a used large truck tire under the ball for stability. It would act as a big rubber donut. Nice work. I enjoy your passion for creativity in building.
That looks so cozy ☺️. I bet it was really comfortable, especially on that mattress. You can never have too many pillows. Now the weather is getting cold enough to start using the sauna again. I really love all your creations and awesome village with all your various creations. How many does that make now? Very fun channel. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. All the best. ❤️

i started collecting large ball bearings a few years ago after breaking a bone in my hand (right, 4th metacarpal). i used them for my physical therapy as hot and cold things to hold and manipulate. the broken finger works fine now, no surgery necessary. i kept doing the therapy just because it was calming to hold a 2.5" ball then a 3". the weight along with just rolling it around... i can't describe it, you just have to try it out for a while. there's just something nice about it.
pro tip: get some "birchwood casey super blue" liquid gun blue and use that on the ball bearings you plan to handle a lot along with some plain mineral oil to coat them with. just follow the directions on the bottle. they come out almost black, really dark grey/blue-ish. the oil afterwards keeps them nice. i have one that's 7 years old used nearly everyday and is still in 99.5% perfect condition.
I feel like one side if the ball needs a big half wall curve window...to give the illusion your sitting in a big ball chair but nice ang cozy 👌
Orb. Needed multiple cables anchored to the surrounding trees for stabilization. That is how the original Norwegian designers of this concept did it. Throw in some boat nets and platforms and you got a new outdoor complex. Add a few more hanging domes, dig a fire pit area, and turn it into an air BnB for RUclips hipsters that tour around in a camper van in leau of getting a real job delivering freight in one.
well done Kevin, I got motion sickness from just watching this 😂😂😂
Good morning from Minnesota USA!! ORB! This has been a great series!
usually all my ideas are overthought ............. but for this one, I have a simple one find the center under neath the ball and stick a pipe straight up into the ground, then add a pipe/ sleeve through the center of the Ball only from the bottom of the ball to the top of the floor, and then keep a metal rod to put through the sleeve in the ball and anchored into the pipe in the ground. Kind of like a metal fence gate with the "slidy" rod that you pull up to move and then drop down into the sleeve in the ground to keep the gate shut!
The first translucent ball you showed is a jugglers ball. It's designed to be able to do illusions with.
It's turned out beautifully, Kevin. Loving the light sources.
I would like that ORB picture. Keep up the good work I sure do enjoy your videos I cannot wait for your next one and I do have subscribe to your channel.
Bins full of stuff, returns from Amazon, different pricing on different days...why, that's just krazy, Kevin. Best deal I got was some sort of pump up air gun (not for pellets), has a gauge right on it. I converted it to shoot mini-marshmellows (boy, them suckers can fly) Not real accurate though but fun trying to ping off a squirrel, who just chatters at me then eats my ammo. But this thing will also launch mini-marbles wedged in a pencil eraser. HOME DEFENSE. Lots of weird things to buy there but we don't have one up near Ptbo. Your video this week was right on the ball. Nicely done.
3 or 4 chains coming from the hanging point coming down at aa angle to the ball. The bottom of each chain should be the same distance apart from each other and at least 16" from the original chain attachment on the ball.
Some ideas if you want to keep some of the wobble.
Those chains that you've placed around the edges, you could put springs on them so that you still get some rocking, but it's significantly dampened.
Another idea is that you could replace the top chain with a rigid bar that has a ball joint, so that there's no secondary oscillations. Not sure how much faster that'd wear though
Big kids forts! Keep up the great builds!
Orb is one of my coolest videos to watch being built I would love a painting of it
Hazel ☘️ …
So glad you got a 90% improvement on your wobble 😂
I love this build
An afterthought … is there any ventilation in the ball ?
🙏☘️😘
Put a turnbuckle in the top chain. Tighten them all to the max. Should be fine at that point. There should be a little movement, that’s the point.
Orb. I would love this painting. Thanks.
Orb would love it absolutely cracking build this one thanks for sharing 👍 😀
"You could probably fry a stick in bacon fat and it would be delicious." Absolute truth! ❤️
Keep your single hanging point but also add 3 more connections around midway to the top, but instead of chain, make it something with just a LITTLE bit of stretch in it, like rope. This will be a "dampening" force to stop the wobble but stop it slowly instead of being a jarring dead stop. BTW, next time you do a campfire, CLEAR THE PINE NEEDLES OUT OF THERE. The way you did it is a great way to burn the whole forest down.
That little tube hat light is great for picking up the 🐕💩 too!
Orb, plus loved watching your recent build keep up the great content 👍
orb, the coolest build yet love it.
Kevin... A stabilizing suggestion for you. You are on to something with the two chains low. I'd just add a 3rd chain. Too tight? Maybe experiment with using springs as well as chains to dampen the hold. Stronger the springs the less motion in the ocean! Bests~
Another great video. Lamp is amazing man. And the oil paintings are amazing.
Dude, just set it on top of a 10 ft tall egg cup pedestal! 👍🍻😜 (like a pawn chess piece). That's a great idea! 😝
Love the latest build. Keep it up. ORB!
Orb! Nice looking ball cabin you got there 😀
Hey Kevin! That cabin is amazing! You should have been an architect! Frank Loyd Wright would be proud !!! Its snowing here in Indiana today . Yesterday was 74 today's high is supposed to be 38 lol anyway great informative video as always Kevin! Take care and stay safe my friend !!
Love idea. Just create a cradle for the ball to sit in. Blessings.
Instead of turnbuckles, heavy springs might be a better solution. Springs would lessen shock on the anchor points while also providing stability for the globe.
Thanks for the heads up, been gotten before. Keep on building and enjoying life.👏👏👏👏👌👍
love the orb build it my fav one yet
Amazing videos. Try taking a barrel and put it under the ORB maybe it can be kinda like a pedestal for it 🤔.
Next month you can just pack the snow under to help with wobbles ☺️🌨️❄️
Not sure how feasible this would be but if you can add a counter weight below the ball that should add a lot of stability by lowering the center of gravity below the ball.
I love the ball, but a ring at the bottom with legs for support would eliminate the wobble. I realize it wouldn't be hanging, but would be your very own spaceship!
You could make like a Snow Globe Bottom ? Great video thanks again Cheers from Simcoe County! ORB
Great video Kevin. Looking forward to your next project with Don.
Orb
This is one of the coolest cabins you have built yet. I have to push myself to build my first one!
Orb!
I'm so excited you got this done! I've been checking everyday for the next video on the series
Orb I love the things you build keep it up
You are very intelligent guy.
I love see your creativity, your passion for those things you invent. 🙂❤💥💫🖐
Brilliant ideas!
Very cool build. Definitely different
Great job. You might use shock absorbers for killing vibrations.
I have wanted an ecoflow river for some time now, and can finally afford to buy one! Ordered one, just now! I know Ecoflow is sponsoring this video, but can anyone tell me, please, if I have to use the solar panels from Ecoflow, or can I buy a cheaper one? Thanks for suggestions.
I would make a 6”-12’ high box frame or make a circular base made of steel and wood had lower the ball when you sleep and stay in it and raise it when you are away.
Add a heavy duty spring from each of your tepe poles to the ball to give if some resistance to it.
How is the boat comming along ??? Thankyou for the videos, the. Dome looks cool!😉👍
Orb. Love your work.
The sharp corner on that shelf looks dancerous so close to your bead seat thing. lovin your vids.
