I've been pasting this channel and letting some of the channels I belong to know about Shawn's other channel as well. I think people should know about this channel to not only help Shawn, but to get the enjoyment we all do out of it. This is a good wholesome family type channel to watch an episode every week if not more. I did a few more today. Even a few large cooking shows as people that love to stay home and cook love this type of channel over tv anytime as I do.
@@Ray-cv6kgYou're right! I believe he will be over 1.1 mil. by the start of next winter. I love this type of channel more then my favorite as a child was Little House On The Prairie lol.
A comment from 2017 "One thing (among many) that makes your videos so good, is your true and honest nature. As your channel grows, stay true to yourself and I think this channel will become much more than a remote, homestead project channel, it will be a rallying place for people, that is much more than a simple RUclips channel." Still soooo true. God Bless.
I agree. We will go back to being more simpler and trying to live cheaper as folks are sick of the big scam of the material, corporate, commercialism forced down our throats (electric, cable, gas, food, etc). There is an awakening go in ng on right now with humanity and Shawn has a a big part in it (whether he knows it or not, whether he intended to or not?.
There is so much meaning behind that door--the stained glass that was a wedding present from your Grandfather--and the bark outer surface which will last. So beautiful, so well-crafted. A work of art. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Your videos are high quality viewing and entertainment. I am ashamed for previously ignoring them. I think you do a wonderful thing for others through your work with RUclips. I want to join the many in becoming part of your subscribers. Thank you for such pleasant respites.
You take it all in your stride Shawn, you produced a fabulous fish dinner while you were casually producing a beautiful work of art. No hesitation, 100% sure of every move and Cali is as engrossed in the activities as all us onlookers. It's good, sound stuff that this crazy world is happy to forget about, meh! Thank you Shawn for bringing it! 😁
I've been going camping for over 50 years and always made a campfire like you did early in this video by starting small and progressively putting larger and larger pieces on. My new favorite way of starting a fire is with a propane torch. It doesn't work when you're hiking out in the bush, but when you're near civilization and have a car it's great!
That is probably the SICKEST looking door I've ever seen! WOW! I can see that style door on those multi million dollar log cabin homes. patent that idea! Great job!
Loved seeing the curls of wood, my Dad was a very good carpenter, I used to take those curls and pretend it was my hair 😊 lovely memories of my dear father, gone thirty years now. He died at 64, so still fairly young... That door is a work of art! Love it, those touches show the heart of a man in tune with the beauty of nature and art 🙂
As per usual Shawn great video. I find myself at times making myself a bowl of popcorn with a cold brewsky sitting enjoying your channels. It surely beats the crap that's on tv nowadays. Thanks again bud.
OMG such a beautiful door, stained glass with ash bark, wow!!! Also the perfect stained glass windows pattern and colour for the woods. Classy or what!! Awesome meal as always you're a great cook too!
Shawn, that is an amazing door ! I called my wife from the other room to look at the bark on the outside, and the inlaid stained glass, and she said it was gorgeous ! Now that is going some !!! Thank-you for sharing this... Truly a masterpiece !!
Absolutely stunning finish to the door. And the unique roof-line of the outdoor kitchen. Such a pleasure to watch. Full of admiration for what you have achieved thus far. Kia Kaha from New Zealand.
I could watch you all day I am living my outside live through you as iam house bound because of a condition that is crushing my brain my movement is restricted the more I move the more pain iam in.thankyou
Possibly the coolest door I've seen since. When Frodo leaves his house Bag End it is referenced as 'the door where it began' (the song "The Road Goes Ever On") .....
there are three generations that watch this together, infront of a large computer screen, Enjoying the proccess as you are on your journey sharing your life. Thank you for sharing.
All I needed was a half a lemon to squeeze on that fish and I could feel my mouth watering. Ooooh. that looked good! We have a restaurant nearby that has a smokehouse just outside a cabin-like exterior with picnic tables and they are famous for their smoked mackerel or flounder served with hush puppies and warm German potato salad. They also make the best smoked fish spread and sell it by the pint or qt. Just driving by their smokehouse the smell makes you salivate🤭😁. It’s been around here and family owned since the 1950s. I don’t know if they still do it, but you used to be able to bring your fresh caught fish to them and they would smoke it for a few bucks. What kind of fish did you smoke? BTW, that stained glass window was gorgeous and was really shown off beautifully by the peeled bark. Great idea 💡
That door is a beautiful creation. Another fantastic job. I'm sure that's going to be beautiful when you're done with the sauna. That would be $200 worth of salmon where I'm from
Nothing more comforting to me than the smell of fresh wood shaving, will always remind me of my dad working...I could almost small it watching this video...looks great and the glass makes it sing!
Great Looking Door! I am sure you have been waiting for just the right project for the stained glass. Looks amazing, and all done while trout dinner is grillin'. Perfect!
That is AMAZING Shawn!! You are creating not only a functional home for your family, but a wonderland of creative artwork. Thank you for sharing your gift with us, truely.
"Why do you watch My Self Reliance videos", you ask? Because how many people do you know of that could/would build half of their entry door with a pocket knife! Shawn, your perseverance, and creativity never ceases to astound me. You are truly an inspiration my friend. Been a sub for quite some time now and must admit yours is still one of my fav channels out there. Thank you for all of your inspiration and the sharing of your knowledge.
You always have such a creative mind ... “I need a tool” ... so you made that “Y” for the grill .... then ... that fabulous door ! I love the rough natural bark paired with the stained glass window - STUNNING ! Your videos are always way too short, as I could watch them for hours, lol. Trying to think ... did you even talk other than to tell Cali to stay by the smoke? Darn, I guess I’ll have to watch it again to see 😉 Thank you, as always, for taking us along on this ride !
What an incredible door. Few people can appreciate the time that kind of craftsmanship takes to complete such a task. Done with manual tools none the less. Truly inspiring. Be well Shawn and thanks for sharing,
Mate - i've been catching up with your vids- still heaps to see. This is my 'chill' time viewing, as i find it relaxing to watch, and I can easily imagine a lot of us blokes could only dream of doing what you do. Kudos to you Shawn, you're a man of few words - but you definitely deliver the action with your bush-craft and your know-how. Action does speak louder than words. Thanks for sharing with us. Truly grateful to enjoy your presentations.
Wow! That door is beautiful. The rough bark and stained glass is a brilliant combination. Very clever idea. Excellent video, Shawn. Well done all the way around.
You did a lovely job on the sauna door The stained glass and bark finish make it classy and rustic at the same time I Love it.. So, um when can I move in...oh never mind it's not quite wheelchair accessible. I will just have to be contented with watching you have fun building your paradise. LOTS of love from Nova Scotia!
Fantastic as usual, the production values are so good and the photography top notch. Love the door, very unique and fitting considering where it's hung. With this type of entertainment available on RUclips, I cut the cord on cable a year ago and couldn't be happier. So thank you Shawn, for saving me a $100 per month on a cable bill and providing such great content. Cheers
Beautiful door and beautiful smoked fish! I love the contrast between the elegant, organic designs of the stained glass with the rough, natural texture of the ash bark.
I thought the cinematography at 13:05 was wonderful. I don't recall if improving your video making skills was one of your goals, but if it was you are definitely on the right track. I always learn something watching these. As always, a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
May God hold you and your cabin and the dog and your family in his protective arms. So exciting to watch your work and solve your challenges and persevere! Bravo
Bonsoir Mr Shwan ! La porte d'entrée du Sauna est fin prête,bravo ! pour ce travail ! c'est une bonne idée ce vitrail Tiffany central c'est original ! Et le revêtement de la porte à l'extérieur en liège c'est une protection contre le froid je suppose ???encore bravo pour cet excellent travail!! Quant au poisson fumé vous nous faites saliver il doit être succulent!! De bonnes caresses à Cali c'est un chien adorable !! Merci pour cette vidéo.
I found your Channel yesterday and I can't stop watch your videos! Great skills!! Congratulations!! I've been in Canada in 2003 (Alberta and BC). Such lovely country!!
Howdy Shawn, I see your still at work on the sauna. That's a fantastic idea for building the door. Maybe linseeding the bark would be a good idea. Love the stained glass. Have a blessed week.
Love the keyhole saw. I have all three of my Grandfathers. I think maybe you could use a couple of quick clamps from CDN Tire and maybe a 6 foot level to use as a straight edge. Awesome door. Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love the door. Live edge and bark on anything is my favorite. The Ash tree will live on one way or another. I have always loved Ash bark. With the stained glass it's perfect. Good job.
The door is absolutely beautiful! The contrast between the bark and the glass is amazing. I loved the shot looking out through the stained glass into the sunlight. What a great idea you came up with on this project!
I like that you don't talk much. I have to try and figure out by watching. And all of the sound effects are not covered up with talking. You have a distinct way of teaching by just working and doing. This is a peaceful way of teaching. And, it is not a fussy method. A lot of channels have guys talking and half of it is complaining or explaining away why this and why that. I hope you keep on the way you have been taping. You are a professor of actions and without a lot of verbbage. You are teaching while you work and I really enjoy seeing all of the progress. Don't let some people try to teach you how to teach. Keep on truckin' my friend! And I know all of the camera set ups you do are time consuming. thanks for all of the work it takes to set each frame and all of the editing. thanks

Come on all subs. get your friends and fam to sub to get the 1M subscriptions PLEASE. Shawn, Cali and fam deserve it
Shawn will pass Joe by next year at this time I believe...... Nothing against Joe either. Shawn just has it going on. :)

What better way to round out the day than a beautiful Salmon, straight from the smoker! You're living my dream... The door is just right! Gorgeous!
I've been going camping for over 50 years and always made a campfire like you did early in this video by starting small and progressively putting larger and larger pieces on.
My new favorite way of starting a fire is with a propane torch. It doesn't work when you're hiking out in the bush, but when you're near civilization and have a car it's great!
A log cabin that has craftsmanship as high as hand made Swiss watch.
Applause and a standing ovation!
That is probably the SICKEST looking door I've ever seen! WOW!
I can see that style door on those multi million dollar log cabin homes.
patent that idea! Great job!
Very nice 👍
That's alot of character in a small space
Great idea
Beautiful stained glass window, a wonderful tribute to you and your wife from your God Father. Smoked fish for lunch yum. 🌈🕊🇳🇿🥂
Loved seeing the curls of wood, my Dad was a very good carpenter, I used to take those curls and pretend it was my hair 😊 lovely memories of my dear father, gone thirty years now. He died at 64, so still fairly young...
That door is a work of art! Love it, those touches show the heart of a man in tune with the beauty of nature and art 🙂
Aw-w-w! I wanted to see that finished door! Guess I will just have to tune in same place next.
Probably this Friday
@@MySelfReliance OK. I"LL. BE. BACK.
As per usual Shawn great video. I find myself at times making myself a bowl of popcorn with a cold brewsky sitting enjoying your channels. It surely beats the crap that's on tv nowadays. Thanks again bud.
Thanks :)
OMG such a beautiful door, stained glass with ash bark, wow!!! Also the perfect stained glass windows pattern and colour for the woods. Classy or what!! Awesome meal as always you're a great cook too!
Every time I watch one of your videos I'm amazed at all the things you can do!
Shawn, that is an amazing door ! I called my wife from the other room to look at the bark on the outside, and the inlaid stained glass, and she said it was gorgeous ! Now that is going some !!! Thank-you for sharing this... Truly a masterpiece !!
Thanks :)
You work so dam hard Shawn,all those good camera shots,and then carrying on working!! The fish made my mouth water :) Thank you.
I had one heck of a day filled with hard work, and watching your video just helped me unwind. It's like a fine glass of red wine.
That's one of the most beautiful doors I've ever seen.
I have always loved stained glass windows and I even make stained glass candle holders as a hobby. The door is an awesome art piece...like it ! 👍🏻
I literally gasped when you stood the door up and the sun hit the stained glass for the first time. Really cool. Nice work like always!
Absolutely stunning finish to the door. And the unique roof-line of the outdoor kitchen. Such a pleasure to watch. Full of admiration for what you have achieved thus far. Kia Kaha from New Zealand.
I could watch you all day I am living my outside live through you as iam house bound because of a condition that is crushing my brain my movement is restricted the more I move the more pain iam in.thankyou
Possibly the coolest door I've seen since. When Frodo leaves his house Bag End it is referenced as 'the door where it began' (the song "The Road Goes Ever On") .....
The moment you placed the door in the frame with the stained glass was priceless. Well done Sir!
there are three generations that watch this together, infront of a large computer screen, Enjoying the proccess as you are on your journey sharing your life. Thank you for sharing.

Great looking door with the Bark covered front ! Also liked smoked Salmon looked delicious too ! You are truly amazing ! Thanks Shawn !
The stained glass was a cool thing on its own, but the bark cover made it absolutely unique. Fantastic as usual. Give my girl, Cali a hug!!!
That door is a beautiful creation. Another fantastic job. I'm sure that's going to be beautiful when you're done with the sauna. That would be $200 worth of salmon where I'm from
Love, love, LOVE that door.

Absolutely wonderful video and so fun to watch. LOVE the stained glass and it adds so much character.
Liked the way you skinned the door with the bark. Stay safe and take care!!!
the creativity in shawns work is mind blowing, great work love the videos
Very original idea for the Steam House door! Looks neat! Can't wait to watch you do the hinges again!
Cherry smoked fish looks delicious. Love the new door, very creative and full of fond memories.

Life changing, and very spiritual videos. Zen in the Bush. Awesome
Wow! That door is beautiful. The rough bark and stained glass is a brilliant combination. Very clever idea. Excellent video, Shawn. Well done all the way around.
Door already makes a really nice addition.
LUV the use of the bark on the door to complement the stained glass. WELL DONE! Mike & Ronnie (don't forget to give Cali a big smooch from us)

Your door is very noble!
Cali is a very photogenic 🐶🐕 dog! It is relaxing to hear her hackling!
Extraordinary! I love the application of bark to the exterior side of the door and the stained glass panel. Just beautiful!
Beautiful door and beautiful smoked fish! I love the contrast between the elegant, organic designs of the stained glass with the rough, natural texture of the ash bark.
When a handyman makes better cooking videos than a cooking shows!
Great craftmanship! Great Godfather stained glass gift! Put to excellent use! God blessed with talents!!!

Delicious fish..Perfect today.
Door is a brilliant blend of 'rustic' and 'organic'.
It’s awesome to think that ur two hands made all of that beautiful things. 🙏🏻🕊🌹
May God hold you and your cabin and the dog and your family in his protective arms. So exciting to watch your work and solve your challenges and persevere! Bravo
The bark finish is astonishingly beautifull. It adds texture and contrast to the overall building.
what beautiful stained glass skills your father in law has and I just love the door and its finish you have set it into. Stunning!
This video is a beauty. So many lessons taught and not a word spoken.
you amaze me every time Shawn!! just unreal..
I think the stained glass window is an interesting touch.
Once again I chose to watch the latest video before I have eaten , now I am craving smoked trout !!
Shawn you do some amazing stuff, keep it up .
As always, you are an inspiration for a simpler, yet fuller life. Thanks Shawn.
I really appreciate how you consistently demonstrate that in order to survive this way, you must master time management.
Bonsoir Mr Shwan ! La porte d'entrée du Sauna est fin prête,bravo ! pour ce travail ! c'est une bonne idée ce vitrail Tiffany central c'est original ! Et le revêtement de la porte à l'extérieur en liège c'est une protection contre le froid je suppose ???encore bravo pour cet excellent travail!!

De bonnes caresses à Cali c'est un chien adorable !! Merci pour cette vidéo.
Oh mg!

- those colours and general production: masterpiece!

Welcome aboard. A lot of us binged watched when we found him :):)

AWESOME IDEA!!!!!! Another great video! Thanks!!
Now that's what I call craftmanship....Well Done !
Really creative. It will be nice to have the colors fill.the sauna. Well done.
You have officially transitioned from craftsman to artist. That may be one of the most beautiful doors I have ever seen.
Howdy Shawn, I see your still at work on the sauna. That's a fantastic idea for building the door. Maybe linseeding the bark would be a good idea. Love the stained glass. Have a blessed week.
That is one very nice door! The bark and stained glass work really well together.
Great looking door very unique .
Never seen a bark covered door like this before. And that stained glass insert is a great touch.
The glass leaf inset you put in the door is beautiful. I really think it looks good with the bark you added as well.
Finally back at the cabin.
I love that Cali she's so patient waiting to play. Good dog.
The door looks fantastic
