- In this video I make several improvements to the off grid cabin . I install a heat shield behind the wood stove. build rustic hand railing for the loft . upgrade the solar power with some fuses, and reinforce the floor system. I stain the outhouse and , I do some wood working and build a beautiful coat rack from black walnut .

The blend and contrast of the high quality woods you used in your cabin is beautiful.
Thanks !! I really like having some color contrast
awesome. Charlie owns that chair
Thanks! Yeah Charlie thinks he owns every piece of furniture
Your content is always good and informative, giving great ideas and projects, but it is your dog that steals the show!
Thank you ! he is a lot of fun!
You have such a calming voice. Really find it nice to just kick back and relax while watching you build something neat. Most of the time I get an idea or two for a project of my own.
Thanks for posting these videos :D.
Thank you !! one thing I never thought I had until I did RUclips was a nice voice . glad you enjoy them !!
I thought the same thing, very calming.
Tina was right...I am not a fan of bright finished corrugated metal. 😆 The railing is beautiful. I love your ingenuity while making the heat shield...the spacers worked perfectly. You've done a marvelous job on your cabin. Thank you for sharing with us all.
I agree the red looks much better than galvanized metal. Thanks I’m really happy with the railing to . Thanks! And I’m happy to share especially since people are enjoying it so much . Thanks again
I like the bright silver. The red is depressing to me 😖
The railing turned out awesome, I love the cherry/birch combo and the way you used an angled cut for the short end piece really blends in. Awesome cabin. Thank you, Jim.
thanks ! I'm really happy with the way it turned out . thanks Jim
Well, I don't know if this man realizes it, but he has a 'gift' from the Most-High indeed. Totally impressive. I am building a women's monastery next July and I am gleaning all ideas from people on RUclips that build cabins, etc. Your videos have really helped me so much! Thank you! Blessings to your family!
wow thank you !! I'm very happy you've enjoyed these and got some ideas from them
Salt of the Earth...
Jack of all trades and all came from God . Thanks for sharing your gifts many will try them that watch. 73
Brilliant video I really enjoyed watching it. 😊👍
@messianicjewPhd2023
Why don’t the women ask someone who knows how to build a monastery to do it?
Cabin is looking amazing ! At first, I wasn't sure about the red heat shield, but it turned out perfect, well done.
thanks! I wasn't too sure about it at first either but knew I could just flip the metal over if it didn't look good, but man red looks really good with natural wood. im pretty stoked how everything turned out . thanks again !
Yeah, I agree. I think that 2nd coat put the finishing touch on it.
@@HumbleServant3777 for sure!
Amazing build, loved all the details like the hickory coat rack. Fought back memories if my dad’s shop.
Thank you !! I'm really glad you enjoyed it . It's always nice to have memories come to you
Thought for a second you were going to stain that beautiful black walnut. Let out a SIGN OF RELIEF when I saw it was sealant!
oh that would have been awful lol !!! glad we're on the same team !
Увидеть красоту в мелочах, в самой природе, это не каждому дано, а ему от природы -художник -ваятель звучит Гордо! 🤔🙄🧐🙏👏👍🤝✌
Спасибо!! Я рад, что вам понравилось!!
That's it. A little bigger, with tiny kitchen and bathroom, is all the house I want! 🤩🤩
it would be about right that way wouldn't it
Your cabin is so cute! Having the porch roof like an extension of the main roof gives the illusion of a larger building and the woodsy green tint looks lovely. Love to make one like this. Cheers!
Thank you !!
The cabin lools great Ryan, and you made a honey-do feel relaxing.
Thanks !! honey do's suck if their's too much pressure
What a beautiful cabin. Next time let Charlie drag all the branches over to the fire pit. He is one great dog .🐕🐕🐕
He is a great dog for sure but he had no intentions of dragging them to the fire pit lol .. he's so much fun !!!
I am really enjoying your videos! You illustrated perfectly that a simple solar system can work very very.efficiently. There are armchair solar commandos out there who would say you need expensive.12V fuse blocks on these small systems and.other.things. You showed perfectly.that you.don't. Proper thickness wire sized for the.amps it will be carrying and good inexpensive heavy duty in-line fuse holders with the.lowest workable fuse size are totally adequate.
awesome !! I'm glad you're enjoying them . I do like to keep it simple . I honestly didn't think of fuses at first so I am thankful for some of the comments . In my camper build I ended up using a 12volt fuse block from Napa it has 6 spaces and cost maybe 15 bucks I really liked doing it that way it kept it a little neater but inline works just as well
What a great use of a couple days! I'm sure your wife is happy too. You did so many things and they are all done right, I think. Thanks so much. From Central Oklahoma
Thanks !! those were some pretty enjoyable jobs too . glad you liked it !!
I love e the cabin build, however, I really love how you honored your wife’s wishes. Kudos to you for a build well done. I know your wife will be forever grateful. 🙏
Thanks !! you must be talking about the red for the heat shield . I actually have another video on the channel I built another little cabin completely the way she wanted it for her .
Tina picked a great color, 2 coats, perfect, very nice install too.
She sure did red looks great with natural pine . Thanks!
I love how beefy that ladder is, I’m a bigger guy and there’s nothing worse than seeing a darn ladder made outta match sticks, cool cabin!!
Thanks!! I'm really happy with the ladder too
That spray technique with the pump bottle is genius. Never thought of that!
Yeah it works really good. I can’t take credit for that idea but I like it too
It so beautiful! I love the birch rails and the coatrack. That red is perfect behind the stove. It’s amazing how small things can really make a cozy cabin feel more inviting.❤
thank you !! it does make all the difference
I must say, the idea of using a pump sprayer for applying stain, way out off-grid, is absolutely brilliant. I don't care if it was your idea or not, THANK YOU for that suggestion!
Thanks! it works great and I can't take credit for it lol
Love the additions. Now, I just think you need a bookshelf in the loft, the top of which can act as a night stand. An outdoor kitchen seems like the perfect next big project.
Thanks !! I already did an outdoor kitchen here's a link to that video . ruclips.net/video/48Im02p0frM/видео.html. I built a little night stand bookshelf but didn't do a video on it
Ryan, love the Hickory Coat Rack. The little detailed touches to the Cabin really makes it stand out. Awesome update! Thank you very kindly Sir!
Thanks! I made a bigger coat rack for our house a couple years ago from that wood and it just hit me ''the cabin needs one of those '' really happy you liked the video !!!!
Really enjoyed the videos, God has blessed you with a wonderful talent. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I can smell all the pine wood and fire place going.nothing beats a cabin just love it thanks 👍😎 Glenn
oh yeah love that smell !!
The natural look of the materials, layout and design blends so well with the surroundings outside. Looks amazing and "utilitarianly" functional at the same time. What a inquisitive and sweet k9 helper too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I’m not sure I would say he’s much of a helper 😂 but he’s definitely a lot of fun to have around . You’re very welcome glad you enjoyed it
Dang, I think that cabin looks really nice. I especially like that railing you did for the loft. It came out looking super sharp.
Thanks ! I'm really happy with the railing too
Your cabin-building process is so impressive! !
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video
I could tell you were Dave's brother by the inflections in your voice. Congratulations on your channel. I am loving the content.
That’s pretty neat . Thanks I’m happy you’re liking it I’ll try to keep them rolling
A set of snow shoes would look great above the window next to the stove , I did the same steal sheeting behind my stove , I never thought to paint it , I have to say , it looks really nice 🤸💯🍻✌️
Thanks that’s a great idea I actually have a set I could put up there too. I agree I’m happy I painted it
I love the light colored bare wood...
Me too !
That beautiful walnut coat rack! Looked like a tusk. Wow, great idea! Digging the paint job on the fire place heat shield nice pop. So cozy. You are really Good at this!👌👍😉
thanks ! walnut is such nice looking wood . I made a cutting board for the cabin from another small slab of it . Thanks! I really like the red too
Man oh man,so beautiful, I was a fiberglass boat builder for about 33 years, but I don't have near the knowledge or skills that you have been blessed with. I so much enjoy watching you do these, I could watch all day. It's very inspirational to me.i hope some day I have the opportunity to meet you and tell you what an impact and inspiration you have given me to at least try to build something so nice with my own hands. Thank you for that!!! Bob Little. Fla .
Thanks Bob!! That’s really nice to hear. I’m sure you can build something really nice. I would love to learn how to build Kevlar and carbon fiber canoes . Is the process similar to what you did?
Kevlar and carbon fiber are much more difficult to work with. I helped a buddy build a off shore racing boat, very involved, very expensive for all the products to laminate with. Not really my cup of tea. Thankyou for your response, I sure enjoy your channel!
@@robertlittle8672 hmmmm that’s a bit discouraging but maybe someday I’ll still give it a try . I’m happy to and I’m really happy you like it .
I’m hoping to have another cabin build video up tomorrow
I learn so much on your channel! Thank you!!!!
Thats awesome !! you are very welcome
Your improvements look great. Loved the tour. You're wife is right, the red looks much better than shiny metal. Another great video. Thanks
Thanks !! I'm glad you enjoyed it , I agree too I really like the red
My that black walnut looks beautiful! I love seeing the inside, different people do the inside in different ways. Your dog, Charlie is so cute too!
Thanks! I agree cabin and home tours are great especially if they're a bit rustic. . yeah he's a good boy
Hello Ruth
You have this country boys respect.
Thanks!!
Nice cabin…nice dog!! 👍
Thank you thank you !! he's a lot of fun
I want to make a ladder like this for my cabin. Great job!
Thanks !! of all the projects I've done I think I'm the most proud of that ladder , it turned out really nice and I've never seen another one like it ever!!
Great idea to use the longer screws to hang the coat rack. Keeps a nice clean look!
thanks ! it works well with a thick wood wall if you had drywall you could space the hooks to hit a couple studs
Charlie is one happy dog! Lucky too!
He's been a great dog !
Yes procera root rot or white pine blister rust.
Prune off, burn. Clorox your tools!
Nice stove backing, ladder, lighting.
Now ya need some livin' 'rangements.
Sharp looking cabin.
Thanks! What are you saying about white pine blister rust ?
@@blackspruce1861 kills part or all of tree
@@rayw3332 what brought it up though ? I didn’t see anything like that on my trees .
@@blackspruce1861 just a possibility. An organism is killing them so you gotta boof them out, get rid of them to stop spread
@@rayw3332 oh I completely forgot about the dead pines at the end of the video sorry . I didn’t notice any of those yellow spots on them but Theresa couple more I haven’t got to yet I’ll have to check them thanks for pointing that out as something to look for
Ok it's official! This guy is a genius !
thank you !!! I don't know if I would go that far though lol
Hey Ryan, the cabin looks amazing, you have done an awesome job building it. Love the coat hanger, the wood grain is beautiful. Great video.
Thanks a bunch!
Hello Karen
Be radical, eh? Nice job with that gorgeous birch, and you are lucky to have one of the smartest doggies on earth )
thanks ! yeah I love the birch and he's been a really fun dog
I have been watching your videos from DAY ONE. Only one problem.
I'm not, at this current time, a current land owner like you.
Otherwise, I would have constructed my very own cabin.
Was thinking a couple of small night stands beside your bed would be nice. I’m sure you could make a couple with your creative wood skills. 🙋🏻🇨🇦
I made one not to long ago but didn't put it on video
wow! I never thought of using that type of sprayer to stain. nice hack!
yeah it works good
WHAT a lovely little cabin U have made 4 yourself! How blessed U R 2 have soOOOoo many handy skills. Thanks 4 sharing. Health and God Bless!
Thanks I'm really happy you enjoyed it !
You really did a great improvement to your off grid cabin, I can't wait to see what you do next Black spruce
Thanks!! I'm glad you liked it !
Man i don't care what people say but you do some great work
Thanks!! I don’t either
Your cabin is amazing....especially after watching you build it all! Great Work!!
Thank you !!! I'm glad you like the video
Just want to say you videos are sooo relaxing. Hank you very much for the positive videos.
awesome I'm glad you like them !
A very nice cabin. I think you will experience many beautiful moments there. Greetings from Germany...Christian
thanks ! we are looking forward to them
Thank you for making this film. It's great to see someone else's build and to get ideas. I love the rail with the natural wood, and the tip for how to cut it parallel using the out-feed stand.
you're very welcome I'm happy you liked it . .yeah it was a bit tricky but it worked . thanks for watching !!
Very.ptetty little cabin. Great job.
Thanks!
You’re a humble man. Great improvements.
Thank you !!
Beauty of a cabin! Love the videos. Thanks for taking the time to put these together and keep up the good work. Can't wait to see more!
Thanks! I'm almost done with another should be up within a couple weeks
Very well done. Great job. Thank you.
Thanks glad you liked it !!
The railing is beautiful ....nice job ...
thank you !!
You right the black walnut grain looked awesome.
Yeah it did thanks!
Red… a great choice for the heat shield! The birch makes lovely spindles too.
I completely agree Thanks!!
Birch railing looks great. The black walnut is nice also. We're going to make our countertops out of that. May also make some coat racks now that I see yours. Cabins looking 👍
Thanks ! yeah those limb pieces make really nice coat racks you'll like it .thanks again glad you enjoyed it
Im thrilled to have found ur channel... I absolutely love it .....
he was cracking me up , such a good boy !
Watching this over makes me feel like I could do this. We spent yesterday outside and took the bricks from flower bed and made a fire pit out back. Now going to take a downed tree and cut it into sections for front of flower bed.
Spent most of night outside last night with a bit of dryer lint for Firestarter and then made a teepee of small sticks and grew it bigger and made a campfire and made smores and roasted bratwurst. It was amazing
that's great because you can do it ! that sounds like a pretty good day and good trade flower bed for fire pit
@@blackspruce1861 it took most of the day to plastic the roof as I couldn't climb on it as it was really rough shape.
2 pieces of plastic first then we finished up with a 1x6 decking board and stapled contractors bags to it and nailed it on halfway up then stapled it all down.
Trimmed the briar patches down around the building and spare house and finished taking down the pool. My back is feeling it now
Very neat. God bless the family.
Thanks! yours too
I like your cabin , I think you guys and the dogs did a great job .
Enjoy your time in it .
Great video
thank you !!
Love the improvements to your cabin!
Thanks I’m pretty happy with them too.
This woman is lucky my husband is not handy. It comes in handy when your handy LOL
yes it is handy to be handy . lol theres definitely a limit to my handiness though I can't stand working on cars
Looking real good and cozy! Totally dig the coat rack.
Thanks ! the coat rack turned out pretty good and the best part is it probably took me longer to go to town and get the hooks for it than it took to build it . super easy project
Totally impressed with what you do!! Great job. Love it!!
Thank you so much!
railing looks really nice & i love your coat rack! looking forward to the next one.
Thank you ! I'm hoping the next one will be up much sooner than this one took
I like all the ideas you came up with, the folding ladder and coat rack, awesome touchups. Including the shield behind the Woodstove. I saw the original build video of yours, I know the ladder was built in that video. Simple, few items, great cabin getaway!
thank you it !!really makes it a lot nicer with some finishing touches
Your dog is awesome !
Yes he is thank you !!!
Love this cabin awesome job !
Thanks !!
Beautiful cabin. Great video. Thanks
awesome ! very happy you liked it . and you're very welcome thanks for watching
Great episode.
Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed it !
Great job looks nice. 👍
Thank you !!
Love this❣️Thanks for sharing 👏
Awesome !! you're very welcome I'm glad you enjoyed it .
Very cool! I really love that black walnut coat rack!
Thanks!! It's a pretty wood . I used another slab for a cutting board
Love this cabin, simple but beautiful 😍
Thanks!
Interesting. Relaxing. Calm Voice. Good content. Nice camera angles. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks! Blessings to you and Tina
Thanks so much !! You’re very welcome and blessings to you too
one suggestion would be to pre drill out a counter sink at like 1/2 or 5/8 inch on your railing for the screws, then create the plugs from that birch to cover the heads and give a cool contrast.
Oh that would look nice !
Loved the coat rack!
thanks !! I thought it was a nice touch
Gorgeous cabin!
Thanks!
Great cabin. Enjoyed the videos. Good to see you added fuses. Very safe
Thanks ! im glad you enjoyed them
Finishing touches are nice.
Thanks !!
I really like those knives that you made/working on. I’m a knife maker myself and I think they look sweet
Thanks !! I'm hoping o get more time for knife making this winter . how long you been making knives ?
@@blackspruce1861 I have been making k lives for about 3 years now and I really enjoy it! Good luck on your future projects this winter
Love all the work you have done
thank you !!
one thing I made for my cabin was a bedding trunk. I used Hemlock planks, but on the bottom, I placed a cedar wood floor.
thanks a good idea !!
Back wall behind stove looks so nice.
Thank you!
I really like the extra touches you have added, they really bring the place together. Also happy you fitted fuses, electrics always need the correct fuse to be fitted.
thanks ! it really does make it feel better there to finish it up
So beautiful. It's clear you love doing this.
Thanks! it's pretty fun
Really enjoyed the tour!
Awesome !!
Beautiful!! 🥰
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this. It’s enjoyable to watch.
happy to !Thanks for watching
Looks really well done! I absolutely agree with the # of spindles, they add a nod it"The Cabin" and yet beautifully done! Modern yet cozy.
Thank you very much!
Some nice tips (and great work!) ... thanks for sharing your slice of backwoods solitude :) Enjoy ... God Bless
thanks ! more than happy to share
That coat rack is lovely.
Thanks!
