Off Grid Earthbag Workshop Part 78 Installing Custom Cut Windows On Curved Walls
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2024
- For the last week and a half I have been installing the windows in my engineering workshop. They are all odd shapes and all on curved walls so it was a challenge to even get the glass the right size. It all worked out well in the end though and I think it turned out great

Don’t sell yourself short with that “I’m not much of a woodworker” comment you made. I have seen you do some amazing things with wood and joints over the years. That greenhouse, to me, is an amazing bit of woodworking engineering. I love watching anything you do around that property. Keep it up sir!
It's a token of his humility methinks!
It’s better being humble than arrogant though isn’t it? I think this is why so many watch and follow his videos!
If you think you’re the best at something you can never learn or strive to improve, I think kris is always learning new skills which is why many watch
Don't forget the harp... That is one beautiful instrument.
When Kris builds his home. Its going to be a thing of beauty. Guaranteed.😁👍
Couldn't agree with this more. I wish I had half of the skill Kris has with his wood. I mean... err.... nevermind.
@@tombacon1 - LOL!
Be very proud!!! You earned that right!! I’ve been a silent watcher, but now what you have done is simply Brilliant..God bless Kris..
Kriss, if I could not do wood working the way you cannot do wood working I would be one happy camper. I'd have a smile as big as your cat. Bravo!
"Not that good of a wood worker" ... bro your woodworking is top notch. Been binge watching your stuff lately, truly inspirational. Thanks for keeping up the good work!
Its the 5mins jobs that take the longest. Looking good Kris
That cheesy smile in the drone footage at the end was great. You seem bashful for filming yourself. You did a great job on this building and should be proud you've come this far on your property. You've done more work in the last few years on your property than most humans will do in their entire lives.
Why's there a "like" button when what you need is a "LOVE!" button?! The shop is looking awesome and those drone shots at the end really shows its organic and "built-in-to-nature" qualities. Beautiful!
Brill mate you will never need lights on anymore looks class
I just binge watched all 79 videos in this playlist over about 2 weeks and I'm so depressed that there aren't any more. I didn't want that journey to ever end.
I remember when this building was just a little handmade model in your shed! How amazing to be able to envision and execute this beautiful and unique project using your own two hands 😊
Man I remember the day that vid came out id been watching him for abit and thought he was a pretty cool bloke then that.. crap hes a ledgend i was thinking 😂 was blown away and obsessed with how it would turn out and he never disappointed me, not even once!
So lovely a real artisan and you are so sweet with your cat 🐱🥰
Love this Kris, you are so gifted and blessed with everything you build. You have a beautiful cat, she is very cute. I have 4 cats, and every day they always make me smile. Stay happy Kris and keep smiling, I'm looking forward to seeing your barn get finished. 👍
Hooray!!!! Windows are done and look AWESOME! Great job, Kris! You little Puss is so adorable. I just love how she loves being with you so much. But I have to say, when you decided how you wanted to do the final window it just warmed my heart when you got so excited about it and did a little skip as you went off to get the whole thing started. Fantastic job as always. You never disappoint.
i have been watching your videos from the beginning, when you were making the foundation of your round house using old tries. You have given me and people all over the world, hours and hours of entertainment in watching your videos. Let me thank you for the whole world. :)
Congratulations on getting 99.9% dried in, Kris ! Windows and door look great.
Love the detail on the brackets. I can appreciate your comment about your morale being boosted. Give yourself a big pat on the back for a job well done.
Have a great day !!!
I stumbled upon you while watching other videos and you're my kind of people. I just watched the one video and knew I had to subscribe. I love working with multiple sources of materials and your skills and creativity is top notch.
A long way until now ! God bless you !
Thats is looking great! I've been watching since the dirt was dug out and put in the bags. You've done a great job turning your plans into a dream.
A dream come true!
Your videos makes me feel life is worth living, thanks mate. Love from Iran💚
The smile on your face says it all, Kris. Major box ticked & the light inside is amazing. Well done!
Time management! Kris, you have that rare ability to know your limits. Even you are not (quite!) superhuman. You knew you could produce fully morticed windows, which would have made the armchair woodworkers salivate, BUT you also knew you could get a super result quickly, using brackets made by the new plasma cutter. Many things might be possible, but you can see what is do-able for your world, your timescale, your budget and your energy. No wonder, you're celebrating!
not only are you a great woodworker, you're a true craftsman and an artist.. keep up the good work, you rule!
Loved it. Your smile was infectious!!
You deserve to be proud of what you built, and there are not many out there who can or will do what you have done. Keep it up Kris and remember, this project is for you to enjoy, it is yours and you need to be happy with it. I'm impressed with what you have done.
I'm still amazed at how you bring your sketches to life. Every project I've witnessed from breaking ground to the last stone or log has been more awesome than the next. Cheers from NYC🗽🇺🇸.
Kris, my shop has been a work in progress for 26 years. It never ends. It looks great! Well done!
I just finished watching all 78 chapters of your amazing journey to the ideal workshop, and will continue to tune-in for more of your adventures in the future. As a retired high school technology teacher who specialized in energy and power tech systems (who along with an enthusiastic bunch of students took-on the challenge of renewable energy design and constructions in the early 1970s), I am appreciative of your ability to build your own wind and hydro-electric equipment. As you know, there's more to it then bolting wooden (wind turbine) blades to a generator and have the thing produce power. Keep up the fine work!
As I was watching this, I noticed I had a smile on my face the whole time, this channel and this man are AMAZING!
Dear Kris Harbour.
👍👌👏 Nearly unbeliiievably fantastic and extremely impressive! I absolutely love your big smile because you are so pleased with your work. All Congratulations and positive comments are well deserved! This workshop building is beautiful and unique for sure. It fits properly into the landscape respectively into nature because of its organic design. A building and build you can be very proud of for sure. I also love to see, how much you love your cute cat.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
I still remember the tiny model you made to show us what you had in store. Incredible work mate. Or as you would say: "Really pleased."
Easily one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen Kris, you should be very proud of yourself sir!
What an incredible achievement Kris, from concept to completion. We remember the days where you were walking over the unbroken turf and describing how and where you were going to build the two story workshops, with the small wooden model. Gigantic achievement.
This workshop just ticks so many boxes and as it’s all run off grid to boot then that’s the icing on the cake. Drone shots at the end with your interior lighting accentuated all your hard work and the size of the project..Wow. 👍😎
CONGRATULATIONS! Beautiful.
Love your craft work darling..... if I was a few years younger and had a bloke, handy like you, I would build my own home, with your guidance 😀.....thank you darling boy......bless.....
Hi Linda, glad to see you appreciate Kris and the skills he has acquired and yes he gives us the ideas for free on how we could incorporate into our own plans, so tell us what kind of home 🏡 you would have?
Have you a particular site in mind?
Is it at sea side or on a mountain ⛰ and describe the scene, as like Kris's site determined what you can do as his is a sunny South facing site. Would you build a single storey or more?
What material would you use?
Have you seen a similar home 🏡 that you like to build for yourself?
Where in the world would you choose to build your forever home?
I have subscribed and followed Kris from his very 1st video and its been an enchanting journey with Kris.
Great Video Chris. I'm really pleased we can have You here on TH-cam. Thanks Mate
I'm 57 years old now and not really in bad shape, but thinking back twenty-five years to when I had a lot more energy and strength, and even if I could've mustered the same motivation as you have, well, actually, I don't think I could have - you are remarkable! Very impressive in so many ways. You are one in a thousand, or maybe ten-thousand! I can't do what you do and never could have, but I fully appreciate what you are doing and have unending respect for you. You are remarkable and I will be coming back over and over to see what else you'll be sure to do. Please keep sharing your projects for us to learn how or just to enjoy your processes!
Go on lad! Your satisfaction with the window milestone and improvement to your work space with the views and the natural light is palpable. Have been watching for a long time. Im so pleased to see all the pieces coming together for you after years of graft and the natural development of your business from an earnest pursuit. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself, your lady and the kitty cats.
The project is really coming together nicely. I am very excited to see the new wind turbine started, and I can't wait for that video series.
Creating something so natural looking from a fallen tree is sustainability in action.
Those windows are beautiful mate....and the plates are the finishing touch.
Kris, I envy you big time, there's nothing more soothing then wood working, bird's chirping, CNC machine creations, and petting the 🐈 love it.
I am in absolute awe of your lifestyle and skill, you're doing everything I wish I could do and more! It's a pleasure to watch you work.
Stunning piece of architecture! ❤️
The evening drone shots at the end, with the lights on inside, looks like I’m watching Grand Designs!
I can totally understand why this would be such a boost to your morale. It should also be a real boost to your self esteem.
What a way to show everyone your talent & capabilities. 🏆 ⚡️
You have built an architectural masterpiece in the sense of the woodworker mastering his trade. - not to mention all the other trades you are currently mastering! - nice to see your satisfaction at the work of your own hands. It indicates that you are constantly monitoring your work and measuring it against your internal standards. A master is not a competitor - unless it is against him/herself. He is a leader, mostly a learner, mostly an apprentice!
Fantastic. It's great seeing how happy and deservedly proud you are of it.
I have got to say, You are one of the most gifted person I have ever seen. Keep up the good work!
A Master Class in Glass.
Bad Ass! The last shot over the workshop with the lights on was an amazing shot! Happy to share in your milestone and can't wait for the next.
Hi Kris,
Beautiful doors, beautiful hinges, and super high-quality work. Well done Chris. You're getting better and better all the time. Absolutely gorgeous and stunning job!
Thanks for sharing,
Mario
You...are a helluva hand, we are admirers of your steadfast abilities, creative talents and...amazing energy...can't wait to see the abode you decide to make for Dot.
Dead chuffed mate. Those windows…. speechless 🇦🇺👍⚡️💋💋❤️🔥🤘🏿🤘🏼
The windows and especially the door are beautiful. Enjoy watching your work with all the surprises you have in your style and talent as a person working with your hands, everything you do turns out amazing! Great job.
I think your doors are beautiful.You remind me of myself, I take pride in the work I do and I often catch myself admiring my own work.I don’t consider myself a great craftsman but I can still see the beauty in my own work
Finally got time to watch. Want to reiterate my comment about how cozy your shop looks, how it'd be a great design for a house too. The drone shots at the end made me believe it even more so. Amazing work on the shop Kris. You and the helpers who helped build it from scratch did excellent work. All the hard work that was put in was well worth it.
Kris, maybe not a 'woodworker', but one hell of a wood artist for sure. Awesome windows. Thanks for sharing this video👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸😺🤗🐺
Wow, just wow. What a fantastic job. It is cool enough you have a shop, but what a shop. Thanks for taking us along.
The windows really brought in a lot of light into the workshop. I really liked the metal fittings that are an awsome touch
You have every right to be pleased and proud! Well done you.
Well done, the building looks great and the natural light inside now, what a difference. No wonder you were beaming. Thank you for sharing
Oh Kris, you should never doubt your abilities!!! You do such awesome work and it all looks like it was done by a pro. You should train others to make stuff from scratch. Looking forward to more videos.
CONGRATULATIONS young man. Hold your head up high and be proud of what you have achieved. I say it over and over again. It blows my mind of what you have achieved. BRAVO !!!!! 🦘🦘🦘🦘
Awesome Kris!
What a wonderful vlog!
I’m so happy for you and Dot!
All that wonderful light from you new windows will make you very happy!
Yes you have a lot of bits left to tidy up clutter bug!
That building was a huge job!
Thank your friends and everyone that helped make your dream reality Kris!
Your going along ways to self sufficiency!
Wind seems a great low cost hi value option for you!
The wind isn’t really an issue for me, a bit of a rumble here and there. Looks great, especially the door!
you have every reason to be pleased with yourself, and I think that you are a very good wood worker.
It amazing to see literally every stick of that building come to fruition from your consistent effort. What a feeling it must be to be surrounded by your own hard word and dedication!
Kris Harbour you amaze me with your talents and the work you have done. The windows and doors look great and the buildings are a work of art!
The windows look great, Kris. 'I can see clearly now the rain is gone.' Well done.
"Not that good of a woodworker!", seriously! I am always amazed at all things you have make. In fact, I think you are an amazing woodworker!
What incredible creative energy is generated from your design! A great place to inspire further creative energy.
The thumbnail makes clear how your vision comes to fruition and how amazing it is; the fact you saw that in your mind and made it… i’m in aw. (Even more than I was already)
Wow, we can see how please you are with the job, and with reasons! That seems to change the shop quite a bit with all that beautiful light. The work remaining is all about showing off the enormous amount of work you have put in so far! Sometime its hard as I am certain you are tempted to jump on the next project but you will be so proud when this shop is totally finished and shining!
We do not hear from Dot very often??

Another great video Kris and a great milestone in fitting the windows - the workshop has been transformed with another dimension! Looking forward to the next video 👍🏼
Man don’t cut yourself short. You are amazing at doing wood project’s. As well as everything else you do. You are a true perfectionist. You also are self taught and and a hell of a hard worker. Been fallowing you for quite awhile and I can say you are one of my favorites. Hope you have a great Easter.
Hi Kris, I learned to use a UV filter on my lens to protect my more expensive equipment(tele lens) and with success. Your windows looks amazing. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. God bless you and your family.
Trick is to not have the cheap filters on, or you'll get other problems, but yeah that is a must for the plasma cutter and welding.
I gave up using UV filters to protect a lens as they became micro scratched much more easily than the lenses did, but I do keep a lens hood attached to protect from knocks. Having said that, I don't use a plasma cutter.
Just finished binge watching the roundhouse and workshop builds, hats off to you Kris, you should be very proud of your achievements, so many dream of what you have done but too few follow that dream (me included), i wish you and Dot a long and peaceful life
Another amazing project of vision, skill and hard work. Nothing is out of bounds or impossible! Love the doors and all the exceptional angles of glass windows and frames. Wood working and oiling just beautiful. Metal patterns just gorgeous. Great video. Thank you for sharing this with all your admirers. Much love from Southern California, USA P.S. Love your little grey cat!
So good to see you chuffed with your own handiwork.
God bless you.
Wow Kris...simply OUTSTANDING!!! That has to be incredibly satisfying to have gotten all those windows in; and done such a beautiful job of it too. I'm blown away by what you've achieved on this project, one remarkable step at a time. Each sub-project of this entire build has been a huge project in itself, and you've taken each one on with so much thought and creativity, marching towards your dream and goal. I'm truly in awe of what you've created there.
Although there are just too many things to love about what you've created to list, one of the things I'm the most proud and in awe of is that you've basically done it all with natural materials off your own land or relatively close by other than the bags, glass, plexiglass, electrical wire, a small bit of concrete and fasteners. I doubt you could fill a single large bin with any non-recyclable trash from the entire build! You've designed it all of course, harvested and milled all the wood with a mill you made yourself, harvested and split all the shingles by hand, made your own lyme, used the soil on the site to build all the walls and stone for various parts as well, AND done it all with power you've harvested from Nature with your homemade wind turbine and micro hydro plant! Truly remarkable...
I'd be curious to know the total cost of the project (the building itself separate from the tools you've added in, but those as well) as I'd imagine you've spent less than a fraction of what it would've cost to hire it all done with standard building materials and a fraction of what it would cost to buy a shop with everything you have in yours off the shelf. It just shows what someone can accomplish with their own two hands, and a TON of hard work of course.
These are ALL things I too have dreamed of doing on our land, yet dreaming is not doing. Doing is doing, and you've done it! I know there are "a million little jobs left to do," but honestly you're in the home stretch and the place is a highly functional piece of art designed to your exact needs and specifications. Those windows are just gorgeous, and all that light flooding into the shop now has transformed it. You should be immensely proud of yourself. I greatly admire all you've accomplished. You're an inspiration to my husband and I as we embark on building our own homestead along the same lines. Congratulations and much respect!
PS - We may be in the market for a microhydro turbine once you get your operation up and running. : - D
Congratulations, Kris! What a milestone & what a beauty of a workshop. The amount of natural light is CRAZY!
Can’t keep the smile off your face ………. Love it when the windows go in …. fabulous
I just watched this entire Playlist (including that one episode you forgot to add to this list) start to finish. Absolutely humbling to see everything you poured into this project, Kris. Congratulations.
Great set of videos Kris. By far the best content on TH-cam in my opinion. Proper, genuine, unsponsored, skilled and living the dream.
You have real talent Kris...enjoy your work.
Dude...! That looks so damn good! The shots at dusk with the lights on inside -- I need some more of that! You're right to be proud of it and happy, as it looks absolutely amazing.
It's amazing how that little corner detail on door windows makes so much of a difference, they look great.
What an incredible building! I watched you build it, and I still don't know how you made such a magical place! Wow!
You are smiling like the Cheshire cat - and I am smiling along! What an amazing achievement. The windows look wonderful.
Such a nice job. The plasma cutter has opened up so many new avenues for your designs. I am in awe of what you continue to accomplish, and share the warm feelings of a job well done!
I have been overwhelmed with projects too. I try to break them down to a simple project or even a single project. Divide and conquer your work. You are doing a great job!
Kris youv done a great job. Is their anything you can't do. Your way of life is to me perfect, away from the madding crowd, keep it up
Congrats Kris. Well deserved. there is nothing holding you back now. You have everything at your disposal within that lovely space to create whatever you need there.
Beautiful windows Kris, absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just amazing, so nice and fun to have the honor to accompany you on this journey - greetings from Sweden 👍
I just finished watching the earth bag series and want to give a big congratulations. A massive undertaking and you gave it lots of creative touches. Very inspiring. Loads and loads of work…amazing to see it now!
Honestly Kris this project is one of the best things I have followed on TH-cam. One day I'm going to be doing this.
I would say your project is throttling along quite nicely! And im Sure if your Puss is like mine she will love them windows too. :)) It does wonders for the motivation and mood to get some light into the space where one works. The door was amazing, and the windmill project looks like a success too. You have come a long way since you first started and think you have very good reasons to be pleased. Even i was when i saw your video, and i did nothing. I think it must be just knowing that out there in the world there are still People that love Cats and do wonderful things with their hands and minds. Using their talents for good. Just beautiful.
Amazing amount of work by a one man crew. Your tenacity is remarkable. I get bored if i can't get it done quickly.
Awesome work Kris and what a difference those gorgeous windows make. The Plasma cutter is a fantastic machine and so useful in many ways. Keep up the great work.
Excellent!!! Good progress this day. Have a great day ahead!! 💖🐱👤
Stunning. The windows have really finished it off. Don't sell yourself short about your woodwork skills. You have come such a long way since the log house and your improving with each project. The messy workshop really reminds me of my fathers workshop. 😂
