Building a Pole Barn WORKSHOP in the BUSH (with Barn Doors) | Off Grid Cabin in the Woods!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- We build a pine sided work shop with double sliding barn doors to store tools for future builds at the off grid cabin in the woods! The roof is supplied by Vicwest (Roof): vicwest.com/
The workshop is made from mostly free or nearly free materials except for the roof supplied by Vic West. The roof is steel and will last a super long time. It's the right material for off grid building because it is durable and requires almost no maintenance.
The work shop is designed so that the barn doors open completely exposing the entire building to the outside. This means we won't need any lights to work during the day. The roof is insulated with re-used materials of garage door to help keep the heat inside. We didn't work on the inside in this episode, but will in the next one.
The siding is from a pine tree taken from the property from a replanted mono-culture forest that needs to be thinned. The siding is cut down to boards with the help of the portable sawmill which keeps costs super low. The posts that hold up the main structure is from cedar trees also found on the property which are also too tightly packed creating a forest fire hazard. The idea is to thin the forest so that new growth can occur and help the forest turn over better and be healthier.
The doors are from reused materials from garage doors, and some boards discarded from another project. The aim with each build is to keep costs down as much as possible!

"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.
*Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Sorry this took so long, weather turned sour throwing up some roadblocks!*
*If you liked this video, consider sharing it!*
Thanks Bruh !
it`s all good.
You are awesome!
Barn looks great! Looking forward to your next video!
No worries bud. Looks great. Works great.
Hope you and yours Had an AWESOME Thanksgiving. Jim
With Ryan's ruclips.net/user/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
It's so awesome to have your own trees to harvest, and mill. Nice work!
Fun fact is that I've only harvested dead standing so far... Imagine what I can do with 'nice' wood.
Awesome job brother
A wood stove hanging on the wall like the tiny house. A rough cut table made with logs as legs and and a bottom shelf for stability and storage. The top should be sold oak. Great episode and can nearly wait for the next one.
We don't get much oak around here.
Nice job! cozy
100% agree with thinning. Catch a lot of flak over thinning and burning dead fall. Not enough people understand that’s just nothing more than fuel if left. Good forest management provides for healthier oxygen pooping trees. Solid work.
Thanks Captain!
Always great to watch your latest vids.
In the shade of the wind!!
Look how much you have grown !! 88.5K Subscribers!!!!! That's just so Awesome !!!
I love your work! And your humor is the best!
Thanks Rachel!
He’s pretty damn funny! He’ll make it far in this RUclips world for sure.
I could watch your projects all day!
I don't think I have 24 hrs worth yet ;-)
You keep going at this rate you’ll have your own little town
That is exactly what I was thinking
Brilliant! If everyone was imaginative and creative there would be very little depression and mental problems. When you are in full swing of some creative project you can't wait to get up in the morning and start. You find yourself smiling even though you get dirty, muddy and knackered and very often swear when things go bellyup. To be proud of what you have done, even if it's not the best in the world is what we as people are losing in this modern world of just going out and buying it. Recycling makes you feel good about yourself in this crazy world. Linda from England 😍
How true and beautiful comment!

Those doors look amazing mad, great job!
Cant wait for the next part. Keep up the good work
Thanks Jason!
@@cmosphoto1 im watching the cabin build episode again where you say " thats why they call me the woodchucker" funny stuff
These videos just keep getting better
Nice work shop,in joy and God Bless.
You give people inspiration to get out there and build things !!!!
I love that bee movie!
Channels growing a lot nice to see. Looking forward to more builds and bigger projects
Thanks John!
I may never make what you are making but...you never know. Love it!
Sometimes it's good to just watch!
Love it the way you make it so nonchalant!
Mmmm...baconwood!! This has become one of my favorite channels. Funny and informative. Awesome.
Just another great video. I love the repurposed materials.
I like how you talk about forest management and what is needed to help it thrive. It's really cool to have you talk out the steps and see your successes and failures in your projects.
You're just full of surprises
I'm amazed at how skilled you are. Very innovative design.
I love when the sawmill comes out...such a satisfying machine. Show some more sawmilling! Love seeing that big unit involved in the projects. Great channel, love the content!
I learn A Lot watching your videos.... Thank You! 🌀❤️🌀
Thanks for watching!
This is one of the best channels on RUclips. Thanks for sharing you humor, skill and awesome compound!
Happy thanksgiving.great idea you had there.
There you are! I'm glad to see you've got your own channel.
My wife and I love the channel. Keeps us motivated during our current renovations! You inspired us to get a chainsaw mill. We have a ton of down trees in our woods!
Chainsaw mills are a lot of work. But useful!
@@cmosphoto1 It looks like it! We will see how we like it, maybe get a bandsaw mill down the road!
Building in the snow is hardcore! Love your videos.
I love how you have your own Home Depot at your disposal!
Thanks for this video (and your other videos) of the whole structure build. And thanks for not torturing the viewers with drips and drabs of videos that endlessly stretch out the project~~
Gitner' done!
Love your channel , and your enthusiasm man . I hope you blow up and get famous
WoW, look at that black topsoil! I'd be planting a garden.
Excellent looking workshop! Happy thanksgiving.
This is an amazing project that I will copy on my property this winter. I have a nice shop building but this will be so nice on the back corner of my property for when I am working out there. Very classy design and use of the repurposed garage doors.
It's good to make sawdust outdoors... Or when you can. Open an entire wall!
I enjoy watching your builds. It’s always a fun experience, and I love your frugality and creativity. McGyver whatever you can
Thanks Sandra!
Happy Holidays To All...Well Done Self Reliance...Stay Safe...Old West Magazine
Love your videos. I always learn new things and I enjoy your sense of humor very much.
You’re almost at 100K. You’ll be there before you know it.
Keep up the GREAT WORK.
Stay safe my friend and
God Bless You.
💜🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻💜
This channel puts a smile on my face. I am looking forward to living on my homestead
I'm glad I'm making you smile!
@@ModernSelfReliance you do..keep up the good work. Waiting to see the completion of the sauna.
Oh thank God some more content from you. What a breath of fresh air right now.
Looks great Kevin and now forever its bacon (wood) sidings .. love it x
Mmmmm Bacon wood.
Your personality is always so fun to watch.
brilliant channel, love what you are doing here. Getting inspired for my new garden bothy.
I love this workshop. Such a good idea which will pay dividends many times over!
I like it. Was sitting down and eating some Thanksgiving leftovers and watching Don work.
It's because Don does all the work! Good job Don!
@@cmosphoto1 Looking at the track extending from the build makes me think the shed needs some over head extensions on the side. A covered workbench on each side of the shed would allow you to protect the track give you some outdoor workspace and more storage space from the elements.
Very cool!
I'm with ya about forest management and fires. I have a 4 acre lot and I've been picking away at cleaning it up. Sometimes I burn, sometimes I make piles for critters. When I do I try to hide the piles in valleys so things look a little neater. LOL It's great therapy and I love getting to know and being part of my land.
You might like a show series call "tales from the wild wood" on the bbc it's about managing a forest. I think you can also find it on youtube.
@@ModernSelfReliance Thanks, I'll look it up! Just making my way through your videos. Very entertaining for a boiler operator working night shift in central Halifax! Thanks for the effort you put in to your videos!
Another great video.. Love the doors
I liked how the door turned out.
Great explanation of the wood your picking for your workshop. I think people don't understand the first 5 minutes. My grandfather in law planted a forest and everyone spazzed on it needing to be thinned and everyone was surprised the wood was useless. You'll probably still get angry comments about cutting down the forest. Haha.
Only one so far.. ;-)
Oh my gosh!!! I love it! I love the doors the most!!
I like them too!
Really like the recycled garage doors for the roof insulation. Great idea and way to be resourceful. Been watching as your off-grid homestead comes together, really cool process. Probably be binge watching for a while.
Glad you like them!
That's an awesome build! Thanks so much for sharing! Great job!
I am so glad you started this channel, really enjoying watching it!
Always appreciate the little lessons in each video. Like today talking about the need down these dead standing trees to help prevent wildfires and stuff like that. Keep it up 🤙🏾
Thanks for mentioning us ladies need a workshop too. 😊✌💪
Your shop looks great!!!!
Hey Kevin. The new workshop is looking great! I'm looking forward to seeing what the inside will be like.
Also, maybe get a drone at some point so there are some more views of the forest and the things that are being built. That would make these videos even better.
I wondered when I would see you again on here, I miss your zany educational humor. The shed is beautiful a great idea!
Thanks Jean!
Hiii,I'm still checking for more of your vids,from wen you started n now,Enjoying them all,keep them coming. Thanks
Glad you like them!
Marvellous been checking every few days for your next video. Plantation timber needs to be harvested to be of value to both the environment and to the owner.
Working on it!
Hey my name is Will I think that for your next video it would be really interesting if you designed and built a custom workbench/table for the Workshop and added some shelving. Keep up the great work.
I am always amazed what u make and the look of it ...Great job on the build
Watching from North Idaho. I love your channel!
Thanks Christina!
Awesome project, I`m looking forward to more !
Always a treat watching your channel.
Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out.
hi Kevin, another AWESOME video!!! you have a great friend there in Don, that was a great idea, building a workshop!! the homestead is looking awesome, and WOW look at how many subscribers!!! Im happy for you, you are doing a great job, and explaning as you go, is very understandable, keep up the good work, preety soon you are going to have a lil village out there!! be safe, stay warm, thank you, your friend in KY, bill
Thanks!
Full Stop 🛑. Valuable addition. I’m thinking chain fall !??😉
What's Chain fall?
Same as a chain hoist. Almost like a block and tackle but uses a chain to lift heavy man stuff 😂. You could use it to lift your tractor a little to change a tire or add a battering ram or something. 😎
Kevin you have a great place! Great show great job 👏
Awesome looking forward to seeing what you do inside 👍🏻
I need to befriend a garage door installer. Thanks for sharing
I love how funny your videos are and how educational they are to. Great work please never stop
Glad you like them!
You are such a good teacher. I’ve learned so much from your videos. You’re doing it in such a fun way. A teacher with a good sense of humor should be more teacher’s like you🙏🙏👏👏👍👍
It's funny because most teachers I've had I've despised... Lol. Maybe I learned what not to do while teaching.
I totally agreed when I watched Kevin built small cabin I just knew he was great and with measured manner

Hi Kelvin, are you a professional carpenter? You are so skillful with woods from all these pine trees? And SINCE you have completed the workshop, what's NEXT??? Who lives in the cube? You and or with your buddies? WHAT ABOUT the little house with the red roof? Who lives there? Or is it for holidaying? Love💋your sharing. Cheers 🍻
I'm a jack of all. The red roof cabin is the main cabin.
Absolutely, positively, love these videos!
Cool workshop. Looks great 👍.
I'm digging that Don is digging again.
Just simply amazing and entertaining!
Many good wishes and blessings to you and all your subs!

Thanks Carmen!

The doors turned out amazing!
Thanks Kelly!

Great Video. Really enjoyed
Happy Holidays to you and your Family, I like the work shop, nice, very nice, peace my brother.
Those cedar doors are perfect
Well done!
Another great build. Full Stop!
This has become one of my favorite channels. Learn something new with every video. Keep up the awesome work!
Love this kind of channel. I watch these kinds of videos for hours. It’s so relaxing and entertaining 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving, nice little shop. The door panels as insulation is a great idea. I enjoy your builds and gives me ideas for projects when I retire in a couple years.
kevin i watch alot of youtube channels and your channel is a very valuable channel take very good care of it i love the workshop if you have time add another extension in front with 4 post and a roof leave it open so you can put some tables and chair to eat lunch and shelter the rain
You’re coming for Chris’s spot with solid content.
Love that Don....I think you should do a barrel fireside chat with Don. Do you guys just chat through mental telepathy? Love this channel!
We've been working together for many many years.
This is my favorite channel of 2020. Really enjoy watching your videos because it gives me excitement for years down the road when I can get my own land and start similar projects. You also do a great job at explaining your builds. Happy Holidays!
Thanks Alex.
very nice Kevin, you need more light and heat too
Next step... More light. And heat.
Love the work shop!!! Love your non-stop humor!!😁💓 That really is awesome how you reuse materials and keep them out of the landfills. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. Those doors are great 👍
Happy Thanksgiving guys
Thanks!
Great idea building a work shed and as usual your multi tool was the star of the video lol
I’m curious to see what you do to keep it warm in the winter
