Hello my friends. I am building this small house so that I can stay on my property where I'm building the main log cabin from big round logs. In this episode I finish the cabin interior which is only 4m² (43ft²). I managed to put a bed, a kitchen, an armchair, a stove, and a small bookcase in this space. I placed the armchair under the bed and there is room for one more armchair. It's surprising how much can fit into such a small space. I power this off-grid cabin with a homemade 12v battery bank that I once made from a lithium-ion cell that I took out from a broken electric bike. Thanks to this battery pack, I can light up the cabin, power a small water pump that pushes water into the faucet, and I can charge the batteries from the camera I'm shooting with. My main goal for this cabin is that I want it to be super cheap and super quick to build. I don't want to spend a lot of money and time on this cabin. I have a big main log cabin for that :D That's why I used fresh boards for the walls, which are much cheaper than dry boards. I also saved on parts such as the sink from a rotten rv camper, or the homemade 12v that I already mentioned, the faucet is also second-hand, it doesn't seal well and water drips into the sink, but only when there is pressure in. As I don't have constant pressure in it, it's not a problem for me. I got the roof tiles and two large tanks for free, and I already own the cast iron stove. So I was able to build this cabin very very cheaply. Total spend is roughly 350 Euros (378 USD). Thank you all for the positive comments. I appreciate it very much. If you want additional information for the video, you can turn on optional subtitles in the video. I would also appreciate a lot if you can support my channel by subscribing! ruclips.net/channel/UC4R2psHs0FQP7f2LRaS36ZA ruclips.net/channel/UC4R2psHs0FQP7f2LRaS36ZA ruclips.net/channel/UC4R2psHs0FQP7f2LRaS36ZA Enjoy🌲
I just finished watching your video? And I'm a bit jealous that I don't have my own property in where I can build my own MAIN LOG cabin and a small cabin to boot! So to that I 👏 you and good luck on your future endeavors and the finishing of the MAIN LOG cabin. 👍
I don’t worry about this generation when I see the skills and dedication these young people have. Bravo young man. Much love and success to you. Looking forward to see you grow your channel
I'm worried. There is probably only one percent like him. The rest take internet off them and they would go into hysterics. This is one very AMAZING young man. Hats off to him.❤
@@angelaberni8873I was about the say similar. Not even one percentage (1 for every 100 people) more like one in every 100,000 would even consider doing something like this.
The concept of using roof rainwater troughs to make water collection tanks to store water is great. In mountainous areas, water collection tanks for water storage are very important. The small ventilation blinds installed above the sink are very interesting. Some of the detailed equipment you installed are very practical and interesting and deserve praise. The design and construction of your indoor furnishings are very good, and you can also be called an interior decoration engineer.
I watched your videos before, but I read your backstory for the first time today. What a wonderful story. I love your hand tools. My father was a carpenter in the 1940s building things by hand and had many of the tools you use today. He died at age 91 in 2015 and left his old wooden chest of tools in the garage. I am inheriting those as my 2 brothers do care about these things. When I was young, I worked with my dad while he build furniture and stuff. When I bought our first house I built a closet and some other things, using his tools. I am close to retirement now and I hope to soon build something in the family land up in the mountains. I will not be able to do it by myself. I enjoy your channel as I like to see a young person using the old carpenter hand tools of the early 20th century. You are very skillful and it is a pleasure to watch you build. Keep it up.
MrManicola, Your story is very similar to mine. :) My grandfather also built houses in the 40s. one to live in and two to sell. All with hand tools! I look at the photos and am amazed and proud of what he accomplished. Especially that at the same time, he was fire chief, post master and the main postal carrier in his small town, doing the building in his spare time, though I dont know where he got any spare time. My father inherited his crafting skills and remodeled every home we lived in. I am carrying on the tradition by starting to build a tiny home for myself. I'm cheating a little with power drills though. :) I hope my project comes out as well as I see it in my head and that I do my grandfather proud. I hope you get your off grid project accomplished also.
As I watched you build your little cabin I kept thinking that what if someone could put these together for homeless veterans? It was so well planned, so well constructed and would serve so much better than living in a tent or on the street. I can envision little villages of these cabins, filled with people grateful for a roof over their heads, and a cozy warm place to lay their heads. It would be a Godsend to them. Perhaps churches could even have their congregations do the labor for it. I wish so much that this can go viral and people smarter than me can make it happen. Well done, young man.
Good thinking. The problem OFTEN lies in "zoning" and the fact that you are not allowed to own land and build what you'd LIKE to live in....😢 "Code" is one thing (definitely want something built trying and something that is not going to kill you.... But even then, it is only the code that is written and not the unique, functional and livable that could make such a difference in so many lives It is also unfortunate that the idea pops up for "homeless"! Why not anyone who CHOSES to live in a smaller, more sustainable way? By the tags they're using, "homeless" "vets" and so on, they're stigmatizing a viable way for ANYONE to live....
This cabin is really a Tardis. You've done an amazing job. I would be looking forward to the next cold rainy night just so I could enjoy it from this warm cozy place.
Well done Matthias, well done. It's so encouraging to watch a young man like yourself learning how to build useful, functional things by hand; you seem to have your head squarely on your shoulders and know what you want and are doing. It's a sad day when one can go to college/university and not learn anything constructive and useful, except how to get drunk and stoned all the time. I know, I've got a couple of useless college degrees myself. Anyways, keep up the good work and thought I'd let you know that your are a really good role model for those of your generation.
What a joy to see so many positive qualities in a very young guy - and excellent carpentry skills, and competent design solutions for such a small space, and the ability to cook not only delicious but also beautiful food, and in addition, the ability to create a quality video. And also amazing modesty! Just bravo!!! I subscribe and will watch regularly! Matthias, good luck in all your future endeavors!!!
HEY MATT, WATCHING YOU BUILD A SMALL CABIN IS QUITE INSPIRING !!! WHEN YOU FINISHED THE SMALL CABIN , I THOUGHT YOU ARE A CRAFTSMAN, WHEN YOU SHOWED THE LARGE CABIN WITH THE LOGS AS YOUR FOUNDATION AND AS A CABIN ITSELF, I WAS IN AWE !!! YOU ARE ALSO AN ARTISAN !!! THE WAY YOU’RE WORKING ON IT SEEMS SO VERY EASY FOR YOU !!!IT’S NOT FINISHED YET BUT , OH MY, WHAT YOU ARE BUILDING IS A BEAUTY !!! I AM AN INTERIOR DESIGNER, THAT’S WHY I AM FASCINATED OF WHAT YOU ARE BUILDING !!! TRULY AMAZING, MATT !!!
The cabin you built is perfect, cozy, charming and quaint. I would love a place like that for myself in the middle of nature! All that's needed is comfy pillows and bedding, maybe a little side-table for next to your armchair, and a dog 🙂
There is nothing bad about living small and simple for now, especially since you have bigger logs in mind. You did a 'great job' creating this tiny cabin for yourself. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your projects. Good luck with everything you do.
Such a well layed out little cabin. Great job. The vents one high one low was a great idea. Only thing I would do is fill the tiny gaps you can see when it's light outside.
Matthias...congrats on making your small cabin home! Your build skills are mesmerizing! Now the journey to "work" each day is literally a hop, skip and maybe not even a jump! Also the simple meal looked delish! Cheers....dude!
As a mom, I wish you would take that water tank to your parents' house where there is a water hose and send about a cup, maybe two of bleach or vinegar (2 cups definitely) mixed with water through the tank and hoses if you've not already done it. Then rinse it very well. The sink need a good dose of bleach water too. Not telling you what to do. It's just a suggestion. I am impressed by your work. I just want you to be healthy and safe.
Hello Mathias, I have really enjoyed watching this series, thank you so much for sharing. I love the work you did on this little house and I really found your videos to be inspiring but I have to admit I have cheated on my own little house creation and ordered a pre-built shed, however I will be using your interior ideas for finishing that I do plan to do myself. Good luck with house project, I am really looking forward to watching those videos.
Great job, this is so cozy and understood to be somewhere quick built while the log cabin is going up. So while I get it doesn't need to be perfect electrics and water don't mix. My ex and my father both master electricians had one saying, electrics is not a hobby, and they were right. So many home accidents resulting in deaths due to people not being safe with electricity. Even if it isn't high power at least run the line away from the water and the switch onto the wall. I think all us Mommas and Pappas out here watching admire such care and beautiful work, but wr want you to be safe. Oh and safety glasses, I almost lost my eye from a piece of wood that went in it while cutting wood. Learned my lesson now stop everything and put them on even for the "let me just do this real quick jobs." Lovely asthetics, opinion from an interior designer.
Have enjoyed watching your journey building this cabin, but after doing all of this work by hand ,are you still going to fill in all of the places that you can see light coming through from the outside ?
bonjour Mathias, elle a tout d'une grande votre cabin ! et merci pour la traduction en français..très beau travail, de belles finitions, très cosy..bon courage😁
Very well done Matthias! Great to see it turn into such a great little home. That standard of work is going to see your log cabin become a wonderful home for you. I look forward to watching you achieve it.
This was an awesome build and to me would be a perfect escape from a hectic week, all thats missing is a lake and a stream to cast a line in. that stove looks more than enough to knock off even december chills. i loved the chair and could see myself spending many nights with a good book for a few hours before a good sleep. coffee first thing in the morning and just listening to nature waking up. yes sir, you have a good build here and this is giving me ideas. thank you
The little Cabin building and interior designing turned out very cosy. Now we need to build a shower and a toilet behind the cabin, between the water tanks with may be other salvages from the RV you have discovered. After that, if every year you build 3 of these cabins on your property, in 2 years we could start Air-BNB busines and rent out these cabins! :D
Wow, I just discovered your channel and subscribed with a thumbs up. You are very enterprising at such a young age. It sounds like your parents have taught you well and are giving you a hand up. How lucky you are. I'm looking forward to watching your progress. I'm "75," and live on the Oregon coast, USA. Sending good thoughts your way.
ur simple cabin turned out really nice! u really made use of every square inch and after you're done with the log cabin, this can serve as a guest cabin! not too bad for less than $400!
Wow ! When I reflect on all those young folks your age who can barely tie their shoes and even wave goodbye.. and… then I behold all your accumulated skills. Your parents must be so proud of you … and with good reason. 👍🎯🥇🏆🇨🇦
I agree, it's normally done that way. My sink is cut off so it's ugly so I put it from the bottom so you can't see the cut. This cabin is only a temporary outbuilding, and as long as the two rough boards that make up the "kitchen" have time to rot, I really don't mind :D
I just happened upon this video and have watched a few others. College won't teach you anything like the skills and life experience you are having right now. I wish you the best, I like your little cabin, and I look forward to your bigger log home. You're doing great!
I grew up in a logging camp on the NE coast of Vancouver Island, BC (Canada). My Grandad owned and operated the boom boat (the Edna B - named after my Aunt) - and he was also a fine cabinet maker and wood worker. I was handling his tools (brace & bit, planes, files, vice-grip, etc.) before I was 5 yrs old. As noted - it was a logging camp - Bloedel at Menzies Bay - when the only access was by water. EVERYthing was made from wood - our homes, the boardwalks, the fences, the stairs down to the salt-chuck - the swings, teeter-totter - absolutely everything. And we had a variety of cast-iron stoves for cooking and heating. We had a monster of a sawdust burner in the kitchen for cooking and for baking - and a stand-alone Benjamin Franklin fire-place in the living-room for warming the rest of the house. The men would clean all the stove-pipes every Spring - and the stoves would be cleaned out, hinges oile, mica windows replaced, etc. But BEFORE they reassembled the stoves - the one thing EVERYone did - was to lay fire-blankets between the stoves and the walls. There'd be a layer on the floor UNDER each stove - with four bricks under the legs to raise the body of each stove farther away from the floor. The fire blankets would extend to the wall(s) behind the stove - UP the walls to the ceiling - and there'd be several layers lining the inside of the exit hole for the stove-pipe - and a third layer wrapped around the pipe where it went through the exit hole. In an entire community built of WOOD - no stone was left unturned when it came to fire safety. But you amazing, modern-day bush-craft and wood-craft guys seem not to have heard of fire safety. You put the stoves right up to the walls - with no silica fibre or fibreglass material - or other type of fire blanket between your RED HOT cast-iron stoves and your WOOD floors and walls - and you don't line the exit holes, or wrap anything around the pipe, either - where it goes through the exit hole. AND you pile up wood within INCHES of that RED-HOT cast iron stove . . . AND - you've added a BOOKshelf filled with PAPER books - next to the stove !!! Honest to Pete !!! I really do hope to God that you continue to lead charmed lives - and that the danger you create with the lack of fire-safety - doesn't ever cause you or loved ones any harm.
The cabin has come up very cosy! I’m a little concerned about the electrics right near the water on the sink surround! An idea to cut the drafts down coming in through the door, use a heavy curtain. You’d be surprised just how much drought comes in when the wind is in the wrong direction! A great little home to allow you to continue on with the full log cabin, great video. ❤
It is a delight to watch you create a comfortable , efficient cabin and amazing that you seem to have all the skills necessary to do so ! Wishing you all the best ! Stay safe , well and continuing to learn whatever is necessary to survive , thrive and to teach others , as well .
This guy's a genius! With all of the ideas hes used in this tiny cabin, I cant wait to see what he'll come up with for his big log cabin! Itll be amazing,i know!!!👍✨
You obviously know what you're doing and have seen it done or read about it, the cuts and the way you are putting it together shows that you do have knowledge of this craft.
Mate ; to see a young man dedicated to his craft , being resourceful and using hand tools : well kudos to you ! Nice one! Well done !👏🏻 set for life with skills like this.
Sometimes it’s doing things the most simplest way with nice square edges that makes things come out absolutely beautiful who wouldn’t want to sit inside this with a cuppa coffee
The white IBC tote will break down quickly in the sunlight. One could screw timber boards to protect it and pretty it up, or a coat of exterior UV resistant paint. Personally, I used colourbond corrugated roofing iron, tek screw to the frame. Also, the plastic valve was not designed to open more than a few times and will break unexpectedly....there's a special-threaded adaptor that will convert it to regular NPT 2" thread, then attach a regular ball valve.
The perfect little Woodman's cabin. You remind me of a a young Henry David Thoreau. I hope you are journaling about your experiences and thoughts while you build your dreams in the woods. It would make a great book! 💚
Жареная картошка лучшее творение 🎉🎉 Вентиляция!!! Молодец! Канализацию можно было сделать лучше не в канистру, выкопал бы яму, затолкал лежа в эту яму 3 покрышки от автомобиля.
Hi Matthias what a great job you done on your beautiful cabin ,gratulalok you are very handy and nice looking just like yourFather wonderful to see you 👍👍👍❤️God Bless
Due to My disability I would have to build me one like yours a little more larger so My walker and wheelchair would be usable for me and I will have indoor crapper and shower cuz this Southern belle ain't about to hang her moon out in the freezing weather 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Wow what a awesome tiny house ! It’s so darn cute with all the Amenities you need to live before your big home. What a talent young man you are. So excited to see. The big home build . I have watched you so far from where you are at today. Your just amazing and on top just using all made hand tools. I will be waiting them all. Be safe and see you soon. 🇺🇸
Hello my friends.
I am building this small house so that I can stay on my property where I'm building the main log cabin from big round logs. In this episode I finish the cabin interior which is only 4m² (43ft²). I managed to put a bed, a kitchen, an armchair, a stove, and a small bookcase in this space. I placed the armchair under the bed and there is room for one more armchair. It's surprising how much can fit into such a small space.
I power this off-grid cabin with a homemade 12v battery bank that I once made from a lithium-ion cell that I took out from a broken electric bike. Thanks to this battery pack, I can light up the cabin, power a small water pump that pushes water into the faucet, and I can charge the batteries from the camera I'm shooting with.
My main goal for this cabin is that I want it to be super cheap and super quick to build. I don't want to spend a lot of money and time on this cabin. I have a big main log cabin for that :D That's why I used fresh boards for the walls, which are much cheaper than dry boards. I also saved on parts such as the sink from a rotten rv camper, or the homemade 12v that I already mentioned, the faucet is also second-hand, it doesn't seal well and water drips into the sink, but only when there is pressure in. As I don't have constant pressure in it, it's not a problem for me. I got the roof tiles and two large tanks for free, and I already own the cast iron stove. So I was able to build this cabin very very cheaply. Total spend is roughly 350 Euros (378 USD).
Thank you all for the positive comments. I appreciate it very much.

Nice work. Looks cozy. God bless.
Where are you?
Everything glows the golden pine color , so nice to watch . I wonder where you are on this planet ? ❤ oh now I see , it's Alaska , such a cute place !
The door has so many gaps in it. Won't heat escape and cold come in?
The guy very skillfully finished the furniture in the small cabin very wonderfully and beautifully.
I don’t worry about this generation when I see the skills and dedication these young people have. Bravo young man. Much love and success to you. Looking forward to see you grow your channel
Thank you sir, I appreciate it.
I'm worried. There is probably only one percent like him. The rest take internet off them and they would go into hysterics. This is one very AMAZING young man. Hats off to him.❤
@@angelaberni8873I was about the say similar. Not even one percentage (1 for every 100 people) more like one in every 100,000 would even consider doing something like this.
Very few are awake like this guy. The majority are asleep at the wheel and fail to see what coming or already realize they are screwed.
It’s fantastic Mathias! All alone and this cabin is perfect. You are a little genius. From a Québécois near Montréal. Matthias, excuse me.
The concept of using roof rainwater troughs to make water collection tanks to store water is great. In mountainous areas, water collection tanks for water storage are very important. The small ventilation blinds installed above the sink are very interesting. Some of the detailed equipment you installed are very practical and interesting and deserve praise.

I enjoy this type of stuff...my Gramps was a Construction worker and did a lot of creative stuff to his home.

I love all your old hand. Tools. This reminds me of how my Dad built everything when I was a child and I’m now 68
You're such a good kid, yes i called you a kid, I'm 52.....i wish my kids were like this ❤
Well done Matthias, well done.

Nothing tastes like fries cooked by yourself on a stovetop :)
Your house is very cosy and thoughtful, nice work, young man!
So true although fries at fish fry with friends is pretty close.
HEY MATT,
WATCHING YOU BUILD A SMALL CABIN IS QUITE INSPIRING !!!
WHEN YOU FINISHED THE SMALL CABIN , I THOUGHT YOU ARE A CRAFTSMAN, WHEN YOU SHOWED THE LARGE CABIN WITH THE LOGS AS YOUR FOUNDATION AND AS A CABIN ITSELF, I WAS IN AWE !!!
YOU ARE ALSO AN ARTISAN !!!
THE WAY YOU’RE WORKING ON IT SEEMS SO VERY EASY FOR YOU !!!IT’S NOT FINISHED YET BUT , OH MY, WHAT YOU ARE BUILDING IS A BEAUTY !!!
I AM AN INTERIOR DESIGNER, THAT’S WHY I AM FASCINATED OF WHAT YOU ARE BUILDING !!!
TRULY AMAZING, MATT !!!
It's incredible how you did the entire build by yourself without power tools and without help. :)
The cabin you built is perfect, cozy, charming and quaint. I would love a place like that for myself in the middle of nature! All that's needed is comfy pillows and bedding, maybe a little side-table for next to your armchair, and a dog 🙂
There is nothing bad about living small and simple for now, especially since you have bigger logs in mind. You did a 'great job' creating this tiny cabin for yourself. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your projects. Good luck with everything you do.
Future kids are going to love this getaway spot
Such a well layed out little cabin. Great job. The vents one high one low was a great idea. Only thing I would do is fill the tiny gaps you can see when it's light outside.
Your like a young version of myself reliance, quality build breh your main cabin will be far superior looking forward to that content
Matt - the little stove is a real gem, it has your name all over it. The whole place is wonderful .
You did an excellent job and are to be congratulated for what you have accomplished.
What a lovely little cabin and so efficient too! Well done! Can't wait to see what your house will look like when it's ready.
Very talented young man. This is a beautiful tiny cabin. Most importantly he is giving a second life to old equipments.
Парнишка просто Ангел!
Благославляю и желаю ему и всем, кто этот фильм делал всех благ! МИРУ МИР, ДОБРЫЕ ЧЕЛОВЕКИ!

As a mom, I wish you would take that water tank to your parents' house where there is a water hose and send about a cup, maybe two of bleach or vinegar (2 cups definitely) mixed with water through the tank and hoses if you've not already done it. Then rinse it very well. The sink need a good dose of bleach water too.
Not telling you what to do. It's just a suggestion. I am impressed by your work. I just want you to be healthy and safe.
Well and aptly said!

Very well done Matthias! Great to see it turn into such a great little home. That standard of work is going to see your log cabin become a wonderful home for you. I look forward to watching you achieve it.
Thank you very much and also thank you for following my journey. I really appreciate it.
Beautiful work
This was an awesome build and to me would be a perfect escape from a hectic week, all thats missing is a lake and a stream to cast a line in. that stove looks more than enough to knock off even december chills. i loved the chair and could see myself spending many nights with a good book for a few hours before a good sleep. coffee first thing in the morning and just listening to nature waking up. yes sir, you have a good build here and this is giving me ideas. thank you
Lovely simple rustic little cabin.
You've thought through all of the elements thoroughly in this tiny cabin. Really nice craftsmanship. Great job!
Thanks!
The little Cabin building and interior designing turned out very cosy. Now we need to build a shower and a toilet behind the cabin, between the water tanks with may be other salvages from the RV you have discovered. After that, if every year you build 3 of these cabins on your property, in 2 years we could start Air-BNB busines and rent out these cabins! :D
👍 yeah 💯 agree 👊🏻
I do not think Matt has got your joke! I would not do what you said. He wants peace and harmony in his realm. 😅
Wow, I just discovered your channel and subscribed with a thumbs up. You are very enterprising at such a young age. It sounds like your parents have taught you well and are giving you a hand up. How lucky you are. I'm looking forward to watching your progress. I'm "75," and live on the Oregon coast, USA. Sending good thoughts your way.
Thank you. I'm glad you're watching. I appreciate it.
Amazing talent. Love it.
A genuine pleasure to watch.
ur simple cabin turned out really nice! u really made use of every square inch and after you're done with the log cabin, this can serve as a guest cabin! not too bad for less than $400!
Another great job Matthias!
Wow ! When I reflect on all those young folks your age who can barely tie their shoes and even wave goodbye.. and… then I behold all your accumulated skills.
Your parents must be so proud of you … and with good reason.
👍🎯🥇🏆🇨🇦
Beautiful! Only constructive criticism…shouldn’t the sink rest on the countertop, not below it?
It should. But mistakes are how we learn.
I agree, it's normally done that way. My sink is cut off so it's ugly so I put it from the bottom so you can't see the cut. This cabin is only a temporary outbuilding, and as long as the two rough boards that make up the "kitchen" have time to rot, I really don't mind :D
I just happened upon this video and have watched a few others. College won't teach you anything like the skills and life experience you are having right now. I wish you the best, I like your little cabin, and I look forward to your bigger log home. You're doing great!
I grew up in a logging camp on the NE coast of Vancouver Island, BC (Canada). My Grandad owned and operated the boom boat (the Edna B - named after my Aunt) - and he was also a fine cabinet maker and wood worker. I was handling his tools (brace & bit, planes, files, vice-grip, etc.) before I was 5 yrs old. As noted - it was a logging camp - Bloedel at Menzies Bay - when the only access was by water.
EVERYthing was made from wood - our homes, the boardwalks, the fences, the stairs down to the salt-chuck - the swings, teeter-totter - absolutely everything. And we had a variety of cast-iron stoves for cooking and heating. We had a monster of a sawdust burner in the kitchen for cooking and for baking - and a stand-alone Benjamin Franklin fire-place in the living-room for warming the rest of the house. The men would clean all the stove-pipes every Spring - and the stoves would be cleaned out, hinges oile, mica windows replaced, etc. But BEFORE they reassembled the stoves - the one thing EVERYone did - was to lay fire-blankets between the stoves and the walls.
There'd be a layer on the floor UNDER each stove - with four bricks under the legs to raise the body of each stove farther away from the floor. The fire blankets would extend to the wall(s) behind the stove - UP the walls to the ceiling - and there'd be several layers lining the inside of the exit hole for the stove-pipe - and a third layer wrapped around the pipe where it went through the exit hole. In an entire community built of WOOD - no stone was left unturned when it came to fire safety.
But you amazing, modern-day bush-craft and wood-craft guys seem not to have heard of fire safety. You put the stoves right up to the walls - with no silica fibre or fibreglass material - or other type of fire blanket between your RED HOT cast-iron stoves and your WOOD floors and walls - and you don't line the exit holes, or wrap anything around the pipe, either - where it goes through the exit hole. AND you pile up wood within INCHES of that RED-HOT cast iron stove . . . AND - you've added a BOOKshelf filled with PAPER books - next to the stove !!! Honest to Pete !!! I really do hope to God that you continue to lead charmed lives - and that the danger you create with the lack of fire-safety - doesn't ever cause you or loved ones any harm.
Excellent work. I found your explanation fascinating too. Wishing you all the best of luck.
Thanks Tony!
The cabin has come up very cosy!
I’m a little concerned about the electrics right near the water on the sink surround!
An idea to cut the drafts down coming in through the door, use a heavy curtain. You’d be surprised just how much drought comes in when the wind is in the wrong direction! A great little home to allow you to continue on with the full log cabin, great video. ❤
Great work young man ! Florida, USA
wow!!!very ❤cool ⭐️beautiful 💖 Amazing🌎🌹👸🏼💞💗💓
Milovaný Matýsku, skvělá práce. Opatruj si zdraví, objímá babička Evička ❤️
Děkuju milovaná babičko❤️
It is a delight to watch you create a comfortable , efficient cabin and amazing that you seem to have all the skills necessary to do so !
Wishing you all the best ! Stay safe , well and continuing to learn whatever is necessary to survive , thrive and to teach others , as well .
Congratulations on building your comfortable cabin.
This guy's a genius! With all of the ideas hes used in this tiny cabin, I cant wait to see what he'll come up with for his big log cabin! Itll be amazing,i know!!!👍✨
Thank you. I'm also looking forward to the big log cabin. I have no plan for the interior and I make everything up as I go. So I'm curious :D
You obviously know what you're doing and have seen it done or read about it, the cuts and the way you are putting it together shows that you do have knowledge of this craft.
Excellent job use of your limited space well planed out. I am sure you will be cozy in there.
@ 20:28 I think that hole needs some screen wire mesh to keep out bugs and vermin
All very, very smart & practical. Sincere congrats, Matthias.
Wow l like your cabin awesome.Neatly
done. God bless.
Mate ; to see a young man dedicated to his craft , being resourceful and using hand tools : well kudos to you ! Nice one! Well done !👏🏻 set for life with skills like this.
What a fantastic young man, All the very best luck to you Mattias.
I would be happy with tiny house.
Congratulations 💐😊👍🏼
Thank you!
Sometimes it’s doing things the most simplest way with nice square edges that makes things come out absolutely beautiful who wouldn’t want to sit inside this with a cuppa coffee
The white IBC tote will break down quickly in the sunlight. One could screw timber boards to protect it and pretty it up, or a coat of exterior UV resistant paint. Personally, I used colourbond corrugated roofing iron, tek screw to the frame.
Also, the plastic valve was not designed to open more than a few times and will break unexpectedly....there's a special-threaded adaptor that will convert it to regular NPT 2" thread, then attach a regular ball valve.
The perfect little Woodman's cabin. You remind me of a a young Henry David Thoreau. I hope you are journaling about your experiences and thoughts while you build your dreams in the woods. It would make a great book! 💚
I'd love a life like that, I live in Florida. He's so young but talented
Felicitări pentru pricepere și îndemânare!E foarte drăguță căbănuța ta!👍👏🙋🙋🙋
julianaCustura-yp1ey oui je suis d'accord et en plus sa volonté de faire et sa capacité bravo.
Such a beautiful little cabin and you've done such intricate and beautiful work I do hope you're going to install it???❤❤
Thanks well done
Жареная картошка лучшее творение 🎉🎉
Вентиляция!!! Молодец!
Канализацию можно было сделать лучше не в канистру, выкопал бы яму, затолкал лежа в эту яму 3 покрышки от автомобиля.
Nice job. Reminds me of my first cabin. Thanks.
Looks cozy and quiet. Chair would be great for crocheting in.

Due to My disability I would have to build me one like yours a little more larger so My walker and wheelchair would be usable for me and I will have indoor crapper and shower cuz this Southern belle ain't about to hang her moon out in the freezing weather 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I love the way he built everything! Was so cute and practical.
👍 mais dommage pour le manque d’isolation .. hâte de voir les vidéos suivantes 🙏👋👋
Wow what a awesome tiny house ! It’s so darn cute with all the Amenities you need to live before your big home. What a talent young man you are. So excited to see. The big home build . I have watched you so far from where you are at today. Your just amazing and on top just using all made hand tools. I will be waiting them all. Be safe and see you soon. 🇺🇸
