Love the natural tree limbs you used for the railing gives the cabin even more character now. I see your still teasing us with those gorgeous mountain views.
You’re a blueprint that is built into your brain to do these projects it’s a never ending source of information great work all the time love your RUclips channel
When you said a few episodes back that you were going for that style I wasn’t sure it was going to look good, but you did a great job. I stand corrected
WoW!! For your first time, you really knocked it out of the park!! It looks just fantastic! I’m glad I showed up on the job site today! Take care of yourself buddy and I’ll see you again next week 👍
"Drive away the viewers"????!!!! That 's the last thing that would happen at your channel. Your approach to us and your content, methods and imagination puts you in the top 10 on the Hit Parade, friend. Please be assured of that. God bless you.@@LifeontheMoose
Dude! That is art for real. You should make fiberglass sections of that and sell them . I would buy it..I'm so happy that you have a channel. Thank you
Not surprising another truly wonderful job. I think the chose to go with the branches was indeed the right one. Looks amazing. So I think I am caught up now, and with the weather here now back to what is our normal winters, I may be able to stay caught up for a while. Having binged a few episodes, I just might go through some withdrawals until next week, but I will be back too. Stay well.
Love the idea of the limbs. Gives me good ideas when we start building our little shed/cabin on our property. We've got 20 acres of timberland to play with.
Greetings again from Rancho de Vegas. Great idea using the plank in your belt for protection against the draw knife. I have actually never seen that before. Bravo!
Patrick great video. Glad to see you did the branches for the rails I know I'm not the only one to say use them but happy you used my ideal. Keep it up.
Red Moose Ranch, Houston here, For all of the bark-removing videos you are going to make, here's another potential method. I wonder if using a wire wheel on a drill or grinder would work??? You could try one of those nylon wheels if the metal one is too aggressive. Happy Bark Removal! Houston Out.
Hey Houston! I’m not sure…the biggest challenge was simply holding the branches down while allowing a quick release and re-clamp. I appreciate the suggestion! And you watching! 🙏
Great video and a great art for a great craftsman. 😊 Probably the same age as this viewer. 😁 I was talking to my wife that, certainly, a place like this would be a wonderful place for renting for a short vacation (one week or two) to relax.
Looks great. What a beautiful rail especially with the ceiling as a back drop. We haven't done a rail in our cabin but we have used branches for towel bars and counter supports. We are on a lake so we were lucky enough to let the beavers remove the bark.
Great job and excellent video! 👍 This is another cool idea to use branches in railings! Looks cool and is, indeed, in moose style and fits cabin character! 😎 To me, they look more than moose horns and not a spider web.. 😂
8:00 Once upon a time there was a thing called a shave horse ( I had to look that up, I don't remember it being called that) a draw knife carving vice for the very thing you're talking about. You sit on it and there's a foot clamp where you put the piece in front of you and step on the floor end of the clamp and it holds the piece still in front of you to strip bark, carve, whatever. You can rotate the piece, spin it end for end, whatever you need to do to it. The clamp can hold at an angle or flat (the jaw is built to do both). It's essential for carving canes. And very useful to do what you're doing. Not to mention to braid leather, cut and string leather into laces, gut and filet a fish, hold that pesky baby down while you try to get a clean diaper on it, just about anything.
The most-versatile system I've encountered for clamping irregularly shaped pieces is a simple rope. Secure one end (for instance, through a hole in your benchtop), loop it over the piece you wish to clamp, and stand on the other end (either a loop or an attached board). It holds firmly and is super fast to release and adjust. It's easier to make than it is to describe. I wonder, too, how an angle grinder would fare in removing bark.
I am happy that you considered Piping. Both are great. You managed to incorporate Piping into railing. You did some nice artistic work. Looks fantastic.
Looks fabulous! About 10 years ago I was in a roadside general store in rural north Georgia. There was a log frame bed where the headboard and footboard were crafted with that same type of technique. It had a price tag of $10,000. Suffice it to say, I am still sleeping on particleboard.
if you want to tweak those branches a sharp knife would probably remove any left over bark and help round out some of the hewn marks and a light sand after drying out before finishing
Love your work. I have learned a lot. Just one suggestion, I think the two grip pipes should have been on the inside of the post facing each other. Just a bit more convenient. Keep up the great videos.
Clamping weird things was the the 'clamping bench's' forte. A four legged stool made out of a log split in half with a wooden vise that you stepped on as you were seated with the draw knife. Been in use for hundreds of years. Saw the first one in an old time woodshop (The Woodright's (sic) Shop) series that ran on PBS about the same time as Norm Abrams. Shop made of course.
Shaving horse quite a few models and constructions about. Bought some ladder back chairs in an on line auction-don’t ask- all the sticks were clearly done with a drawing knife. Still a few guys around making these mostly for high end Windsor chairs.
27:56 I imagined channel cutting the top and bottom rail so that the branch ends fit into it in addition to using a fastener. Then some steamed bent wood (cool little steaming box side project that you'd use ALL the time...) to weave into the smaller openings. But then I've got QUITE and imagination!
@@LifeontheMoose That's what the steam bending would have done, force them to line up. but what you did turned out really nice. If you wanted to, you could form the channel after the fact and instead of doing nothing more than cause an really annoying place for hard to get dust to collect, fill the void with black epoxy. That would further trap the branches on the bottom and increase your side pressure tolerance..

Thank you. Those views are too good to keep all to myself!
You’re a blueprint that is built into your brain to do these projects it’s a never ending source of information great work all the time love your RUclips channel
🙏
I appreciate all the work that you put into filming & editing your videos.
And I appreciate you watching them! 🙏
Great video. Have been enjoying many of them. My kids would say your jokes are “dad jokes”, but being a dad, I find them humorous. Keep ‘‘em coming.
Ha thanks! 🙏
A craftsman and an artist? If they aren't, they should be synonyms. I love it.
🙏
When you said a few episodes back that you were going for that style I wasn’t sure it was going to look good, but you did a great job. I stand corrected
Thank you so much! It honestly turned out better than I thought, too.
WoW!! For your first time, you really knocked it out of the park!! It looks just fantastic!
I’m glad I showed up on the job site today!
Take care of yourself buddy and I’ll see you again next week 👍
Ah much appreciated! See you soon. 🙏
I get such a kick out of your sense of humor 😂. You seem to have this innate sense of design that I can't help but admire. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you! I’m just trying my best to cobble things together and not drive away the viewer! 🙏

YOU MY FRIEND, ARE AN ARTIST AND A CRAFTSMAN!
I won’t claim either, but I very much appreciate the sentiment. 🙏
I love those spindles they look like antlers, great work
I was just going to say that.
I was thinking the same! 🙏
That looks waaay nicer than anything I could cobble together. Great work!
Thanks! I got lucky! 🙏
Wow! That turned out great, Patrick! Well done.
I appreciate that! Not bad for a branch rail rookie. 🙏
I love how nice your branch railing turned out. Can't wait to see what other nice touches you do.
Thank you! 🙏
Dude! That is art for real. You should make fiberglass sections of that and sell them . I would buy it..I'm so happy that you have a channel. Thank you
And that comment makes ME happy! I appreciate it. Interesting idea!
The railing looks great Patrick!

Greetings again from Rancho de Vegas. Great idea using the plank in your belt for protection against the draw knife. I have actually never seen that before. Bravo!
Greetings, RdV! Some of my ideas are weird, some work well. Some are both! 🙏
A lot of work but boy, I say boy, that looks fantastic! Love you creativity and work ethic! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Thank you so much! 🙏
Pretty cool indeed. You won’t lose this subscriber 🙌
😅I’m glad!
Nice! Love the railing
Yes it’s turned out to be a beautiful railing. Thanks for the video.
Thank YOU!
It comes back to me, Rory Underhill was the craftsman in that series. I believe he wrote a book or two on the subjects as well.
Branch baluster, looked like a lot of fun, turned out grrreattt!!
Hey thanks!
Great railing! I like the detail of recessing the pipe flanges -nice detail. Ah yes the dreaded insulation. Always look forward to your videos.
Thank you so much! 🙏
you.re a braver man then me Gunga Din.... the way you use that circular saw....
Looks absolutely amazing! Inspiration!
Thank you! 🙏
Patrick great video. Glad to see you did the branches for the rails I know I'm not the only one to say use them but happy you used my ideal. Keep it up.
I appreciate that! 🙏
You've got a great eye for design, Patrick. I was dubious when you first spoke about using branches weaved into your railings, but they look great!
Well thank you so much! 🙏
Your attention to detail amazes me. A lost art
🙏🙏
Very “artistic “Patrick. Literally a cut and paste! Great job as usual.
I appreciate that. And you watching!
Very detailed railing!
It is a 1 of a kind, a remarkable job.
Thank you so much!

Wow it looks amazing great job 👍🏻❤️until your next video stay safe stay strong and like always God bless my friend 🙏❤️✌🏼
I appreciate you. 🙏
Looks great! Always excited when your videos pop up. 😁
Thank you! That makes my day. 🙏
Looks fantastic!
That's really beautiful.
Love it, it looks narrowly 😊.
I really like the "stick art".. its almost "antler-ish".
For sure! 🙏
A shaving horse would have been a good tool addition to your project.
Indeed!
WOW, that rail is a pice of art. Looks amazing...
🙏
someting a uppstart disigner takes 10g to make..@@LifeontheMoose
Really appreciate showing all the steps you take, too many channels do too much off camera work, love all the detail.
Awesome! I get concerned about too much. 🙏
From the country of David Douglas, who gave his name to the Doug Fir, many thanks for your videos 😊
I just learned something! 🙏
40:55 yeah, that's knot good there...
Holy crap that looks so good 😊
Thanks!
Very cool! A lot of handwork, it looks easy and I saw that it was done reliable!
Thank you! 🙏
Great video and a great art for a great craftsman. 😊 Probably the same age as this viewer. 😁 I was talking to my wife that, certainly, a place like this would be a wonderful place for renting for a short vacation (one week or two) to relax.

That looks great!
Very artistic!
The way the world is today. I really appreciate you making these videos. I look forward to watching them. It's a great escape.
That means a lot. I feel the same about making them. Thank you.
Love what you are doing keep up the good work
Thank you so much!

Sounds like what I needed! Except for the diaper part…
AND YOU KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE WOODS AGAIN AND THE RAILING IS WOODSY AND GREAT NATIONAL PARK DESIGN!!!!!😅
Thank you!🙏

Thank you so much. 🙏 I’m glad you’re watching.
20:26 You got that nice Crapsman table saw. I remember when Craftsman meant quality. Not so much in the past 40 years or so.
True that!
It turned out great.
🙏
Yada Yada Moose Art Approved
🙏Thanks!
if you want to tweak those branches a sharp knife would probably remove any left over bark and help round out some of the hewn marks and a light sand after drying out before finishing
Good idea!
I love it it turned out wonderful.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching.
You are doing fine... The results are great.
🙏Thank you!
Great decision and work!
I appreciate that!
Always entertaining 😊

Love your work. I have learned a lot. Just one suggestion, I think the two grip pipes should have been on the inside of the post facing each other. Just a bit more convenient. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you so much! I considered that, but didn’t want to narrow the loft opening. I appreciate the suggestion, and you watching!🙏
I like it a lot! What I imagine for our cabin as well. Great job! Thanks for the video
I appreciate you watching!
@LifeontheMoose the inside of your cabin and loft look very similar to ours so I am hoping our railing looks just as good as yours!
@@OffgridwithJayandJen Cool! I’ll have to check it out.

I Need a Moose Hoodie!
Very soon!
Nice and Safe up there now and looks great!
Thank you!
Yeah I really like that I'll definitely have to think about adding that to my cabin
You should, my friend!
Looks so nice! Well done!
I appreciate that!
It would look nice at night with white Christmas lights wrapped around the branches.
Yes it would!
I had doubts but hey it turned out great.
Thank you! Without ever having tried it, I had doubts, too!
27:56 I imagined channel cutting the top and bottom rail so that the branch ends fit into it in addition to using a fastener. Then some steamed bent wood (cool little steaming box side project that you'd use ALL the time...) to weave into the smaller openings. But then I've got QUITE and imagination!
Funny, I imagined the same while brainstorming. With perfect and uniform ballisters, the channel would have worked well.

Hello from Midway 🤙… looking good 👍…
Thank you, Midway!
I like it... Looks Great...
Thanks!
A+ Artwork , seen this before in Canada -nice touch
Thank you!
true work of art... great job!
Thank you!
beautiful job looks great
Thanks!
The Branches are the best decision. Your effort was totally wonderful.
Wow I really appreciate that! 🙏
Nutty
That woven branch railing looks as gnarly as an Osage Orange hedge row! Love the view, especially the mulies!
Thank you!
I haven’t seen Osage orange since I cowboy’ed in Southern Iowa several decades ago. Now that’s some hard wood with character.
Looks great! Fun project
Yes! Thank you 🙏
are you sure that you never did this before? Looks fantastic!
Positive! Thank you.
I'd be tempted to wrap those metal handrails with some Paracord. A better grip, and not so cold to the hands.
Interesting..
great work!
Thanks!
I voted for the pipe railing but I have to admit, the interwoven pine branches look great! Good on you!
Thank you! It was a close decision.
