I really enjoyed the rawness of this video. I hadn't even noticed there wasn't music until you mentioned it at the end :) I'm sure I, like many others appreciate you living your dream and sharing it on TH-cam, as much as I'd love to do something similar, I doubt I'll get the opportunity, so stuff like this is as close as I'll get. You have incredible dedication and this series will be a joy to watch.
That's great, I'm happy that no music works. Just a few months ago I also didn't think that I'll be able to do this project, was something I wanted to do for a very long time, but I was scared that alone I will not be able to do it, still don't know how I will do many things. I decided to take it step by step and I will see how far I can go, hopefully I will be able to finish it successfully. Thank you watching for following my progress!
You are a very impressive young man. And I'm glad that you are living your dream. This was the first video I have seen of yours. I will definitely go back and watch the first episode. In my younger days I was lucky enough to get a job with a friend of a friend building a two story log home for a elderly lady. I really enjoyed and appreciated all the hard work that goes into building a log home. We didn't have a tractor to do the lifting and pulling. The gentleman I helped had a three mule pulling team he had married together. A large log dog would really help you with your work. I have enjoyed your video so much. Please stay safe and keep them coming.
Thank you very much 😁That's amazing that you used mule for pulling, working on something like a log house is always a great experience and something to remember. I definitely need to get a log dog, especially for later when I will be scribing the logs. All the best to you and have a good day.
Just found you today, 22 November 2018. I really think I am going to enjoy watching your channel. I believe you have tasted hard challenges and recognize the need to make changes. You seem very determined and I believe you will succeed. You are absolutely correct in the need to keep your tools well maintained. I look forward to your next video. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I only found your channel today. I like just watching you work without music. You are a hard worker and accomplish a lot on your own. It is a joy to watch a man work with a really sharp draw knife. Your videography is excellent. I have subscribed and will follow your build.
People like you should be what influences people on TH-cam and social media. Hard work. Dedication. Problem solving. Discipline. Longevity. These are admirable qualities that should be upheld.
Add me to the list of people that enjoyed this video. I didn't miss the music and I am certainly not bored by watching a craftsman working in the woods. Back in 1980 we built our own log house and raised our family there. We also build a second lot house for my in-laws. So I can appreciate that hard work that you are putting in. I still do a lot of woodworking and today it's time to sharpen my chisels. (thanks for the reminder) One small suggestion would be to look into getting a small lavaliere mic and some type of audio recorder (a smart phone would work) That would let you get nice clear audio no matter how windy it gets. Good luck with the project.
I like your videos. I find there is something special about working with wood. Also I would like to add that your English is excellent. I look forward to watching as your home unfolds.
Greetings from Australia! I am thoroughly enjoying witnessing your journey with this cabin build. Your videos are not long they're fine just the way they are. If you want to share more and make them longer, that's fine too. I'm just a by-stander given the opportunity to witness what you're doing. I would love to have done something like this in my younger years, but this old grandma can only admire others efforts and accomplishments. With that said, thank you for sharing. Inspiring is an understatement.
Man thank you for inspiring me to get my ass out of the house and make my body young again with physical activity i am 29 and was feeling like i was 70 or 80 but finding your channel gave me motivation i needed because of you personality. You are inspiring and thank you for being you.
Love the videos. I just found your videos and they are very inspirational and informative. I plan to start on my log home next year and will be building by myself as well. Work sounds are better than music. I appreciate seeing your stringless as well as your successes. Thank you for sharing your insights about the best ways to work alone.
I just found your video and I enjoyed it very much. I didn't think your video was too long at all. I appreciated you sharing your frustrations as well as your satisfactions with the processes that you are going through. I really liked the idea of no music. I am not opposed to it but I don't think it is necessary to appreciate the work you are doing. Best wishes and good health to you during your journey. It will all be worth the effort in the end. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much for you comment, really happy that you enjoyed the video. Music if for sure not necessary in this kind of video, but it took me some time to develop this style of filming and being comfortable talking to camera. It's always worth the effort if it's something that you do from the heart. It's my pleasure to share, thank you for watching. All the best to you too!
Thank you, I feel very grateful to be able to do it and to share it through the videos on TH-cam and hopefully inspire others to do what they dream about.
it's always start with a dream, little by little your effort and patience to construct it make you work hard more.as a viewers I really enjoy watching it, and happy for end of the day you accomplished. keep up the good works, I'm eager to see the next episode.
RESPECT ..... amazing to see that there is still young people building the "old" fashion style. Love seeing that 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 GREAT work! You're a cool guy, good that people like you still exist! Greetings from Bavaria
Love video with no music. Your videos are not boring. I enjoy them very much. Found you recently. Due to COVID and being 'stay-in-place' regulations I am watching more youtube videos. Thank you for the videos. Thank you for sharing your journey and adventure. Praying you stay healthy.
Hey good job and u got some good common sense what u said about the maintenance of your tools is spot on👍👍👍👍 You know a friend of mine had a saying it goes like this (Why is there never enough time to do it right the first time but always enough time to do it right the second time) as I said u have got good common sense. Wishing u suscess on your endeavours. God bless stay safe🙏🙏
I LOVE the lack of music imposed in the background! It provides an experience that is closer to actually being there with you. Please continue producing videos in this manner.
Glad you love the video this way, I did the next episodes in this manner. If my video makes you feel like you are there, that's exactly what I'm going for.
My highest respect to your work ethic and pursuing your dream. It is such a pleasure to see you doing it your way and busting butt to make it happen to accomplish your goal. Take care and God bless.
When pealing large logs it is helpful on the trunk end to start pealing by chainsaw or shovel then clean it up with your draw knives,,, it saves time and keeps your momentum forward, and your doing an awesome Jon Nik! Keep it up and stay safe! Your video are great btw
Well done Nik I enjoy your video trying to achieve an ambition to build your home is a great example and role model for any young man, have to say I much preferred to hear the wind blowing rather than music it creates for me a sense of being there rather than watching on a TV or computer screen. I look forward to the next video.
Thank you for you comment and for being interested in following my progress. I will continue with the videos without the music, I see that most of the people like it that way.
Love the video. I’ve been looking into this a lot lately, with the hopes I can do it one day. And these videos are just what I’m looking for, it shows the actual size and aspect of a project like this. Thank you so much.
Don’t worry about how long it takes to peel the logs, you have all the time in the world. Don’t worry about negative comments, if they don’t like what you are doing, they don’t have to watch. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I know I am three years late to comment on this video but I have enjoyed watching you driving towards your dream goal and I sincerely appreciate you not adding the music because I feel it hides away the sounds and beauty of nature.
Great video. I like how the absence of music emphasises the sounds of nature. Would you be able to show some of your favourite log houses in the area? I would like to know a bit more about the architectural tradition and what inspires you about this building style.
Thank you! Well I'm inspired by this building style from the log houses mostly built in Canada and Alaska. In my area there is just one I know about and I've helped building it, maybe I will do a video about it in the future. I always preferred working with wood than other materials, and I love the feeling of warmth that wood gives. It's a dream of mine to live in house completely built from wood in the middle of the forest.
Just happened up on your videos it's so inspiring to watch you preparing to build your log cabin and the country is beautiful living the dream thanks for putting these videos togeather I'm disabled and gives me something to do with my time I wish I was fisacally able to do what you are doing may God be with you and thank you also better without music
I love seeing you guys work in the woods and construction site, one of my dreams was to help someone build a wood cabin or house in the mountains. Best regards!
every time i see a video from you in my sub feed i'm looking forward to watch it. Very good every time, and 45 minutes are not too long. it is relaxing to watch your videos. Music or no music - both is good in my opinion. Anyway, keep up the amazing work.
Thank you for you comment and I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the videos! I'll try my best, it's very motivating to hear that you and many others enjoy the videos.
Thank you!! Happy that you find it relaxing to watch, that's what I'm hoping to make people feel when they watch my videos... and of course to inspire and motivate others to do what they love. I'm not worrying much what others think, it's more to have some feedback from people that watch my videos and have a conversation.
love your work, just started watching. keep up the voice times and maybe keep video to 25 to 30 minutes. bur if longer I will still watch. I live in Indiana U.S. on 32 acres and in a 800+sq ft. popular log home and love it...getting on in my life, now 75 and still love the dream even as it gets old
I liked it Both with and without music and what I really like is that you sometimes just put footage of the surroundings and where you are in the video so that you can truly experience what you're doing and where you're doing it
Whatever you are doing there is magic in your videos. I have no criticism and although I loved the music you used in the treehouse build videos this was still thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Don't stop brother, all the best.
That's great, happy that you enjoy it also this way. I won't stop that's for sure and thank you for always showing appreciation for my videos, it means a lot 😉
Great Video! The fact that you take your time to place the camera in different spots that are sometimes even quite far away from you, just for us to get some nice shots is incredible. Really impressive work!
Just found your channel and subscribed. I would suggest a "log arch" for removing the logs from the woods. I looked at commercial models, but decided to build my own. I also made it with a 6' section that could be added to the length for getting logs up to 24' long. Love the channel.. God Bless
Inspirational stuff brother. Polishing rouge on a polishing belt will make short work of maintaining draw shaves/spuds/slicks. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. /Jase
You've got an excellent tractor for logging. Suggestion - Keep the old chainsaw for limbing and the new chainsaw for felling and crosscutting logs. When winching logs with tripod your doing it slightly wrong. Use a separate strap for the end of multiple logs, then connect winch-hook so it's a direct vertical pull. Might also be easier if tripod you built is higher clearance from ground level. Your making excellent progress considering weather doesn't always cooperate!
I posted a similar comment in another video (incorrectly). I second the need for sharp tools, and I need more discipline myself. Great video. I learn something every few minutes.
Hi Nik! i Stumbled across the 2 hour complete video yesterday and loved it! I've come back to the beginning to watch the whole process. Love your work mate! From Australia! :D
Old guy from Canada (East Coast) checking in . Interesting to watch you work and to see how you go or are going to go about your project . I had enjoyed working with logs in my younger years . There is a plainer blade attachment for the chain saw you might find worth while checking out .
Thank you for watching Terry! Working with logs is great, but it's a very physical work and puts a lot of stress on the body, very easy to injure your back. I know about the plainer for the chainsaw, but I don't like it so much. The end result when you do it with draw knife is much cleaner and also will save me a lot of gas.
Loved the video, no music is Great! If you waited u ntill spring untill the trees naturally sweat the bark would practicality fall off. You can peel it off by hand in long long pieces. You would save Los of time and energy. Keep my the great work! Love it.
Thank you, means a lot! That's true that the bark would be much easier to peel in the spring, but the problem is that if you cut the trees in that time the wood will dry longer and old people say that it wouldn't last so long. The best period for the wood to last long in my area is around the week before new year, at least people who watch the moons for cutting the wood are saying so.
I believe you were doing a fine job. Kind of like not having any music involved, just the sound of the work. But whatever you decide to do I am fine with it. Thanks for the video.
Awesome video ! I liked that it was long and showed every step along the way. No music is better and as you talk about your progress every 10 minutes or so . Very jealous of your lifestyle ... beats the 9-5 job here in the US. The work also keeps you in shape and fit .. most important . Only thing I noticed between yours and everyone else’s is that a drone to take aerial videos etc would be cool.. but their expensive. Thank you for posting your videos !
Thank you, I'm very happy that you enjoyed the video. I agree that no music and a bit of talk here and there is much better also to explain what I'm doing and to just share some of my thought as I go by with the work. I agree that work keeps you in shape, but it also take a wear on the body as most of this work is really heavy. Having a drone would be amazing, but I don't know how I would be able to do everything alone... from filming with camera, all the work and than drive also the drone. It's a pleasure to share the videos, thank you for watching and for writing a comment!
Man, that's a huge amount of work . Your shoulders will look like the Hulk when you get through with those logs. Keep going , it will be an amazing feat when your done good luck.
Peeling is incredibly variable. I'm working with maple, white oak and red oak. In general, the maples strip right off, easy to peel. The oaks are both much harder than the maple and I think the white oak is worst of all.
Yes. Like many I am sure, I wish I had the land and opportunity to do as you are finding now. Watching does provide some satisfaction with participation in your challenges and progress.
One tip you likely considered by now, if the legs on your winch stand were longer, you'd have an easier time hoisting higher and getting the log skidder under the logs.
I am enjoying your videos. I have watch other debarking a log, they are using a wide body ice pick and are getting wide stripes of bark to come off at one time. Again are enjoying your video's
Thank you for watching, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. I've tried many different tools including the ice pick, but so far I found the draw knife to be the best and the easiest for me.
Old man from Oklahoma USA just found your videos and enjoy them. Please no music, Us old people don't hear too well and it is very distracting. Keep up the good work.

Videos are much better without music just natural noise 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for letting me know, will keep it this way.
Yeah just sounds of nature and hard labor
Totally agree
I really enjoyed the rawness of this video.

No music prefer natural

I loved having no music!
It is not boring and is very interesting. I like it just fine raw.
Good format just as it is, shows your personality.
I'm glad you like it, thank you for watching!
You are a very impressive young man. And I'm glad that you are living your dream. This was the first video I have seen of yours. I will definitely go back and watch the first episode.

Ahhhh I so love the sound of wedges being pounded on then that ever so sweet crack as the tree gives its life for you! Great video Sir!
Hahaha yeah that is always a special moment, the ones that start falling slowly like at 6:40 are the best. Thank you for watching!
Add me to the list of people that enjoyed this video. I didn't miss the music and I am certainly not bored by watching a craftsman working in the woods.

Good luck with the project.
The Michelangelo of log house building. Going back and watching the individual episodes after the 1 year one. You are a master craftsman. Thank you.
I'm grateful you put this series together. I am enjoying it.
I love that view from 33:09 with the clouds rolling past.
I like your videos. I find there is something special about working with wood. Also I would like to add that your English is excellent. I look forward to watching as your home unfolds.
I LOVE the natural sound and no music. The work you are doing is interesting. Keep it up.
Greetings from Australia! I am thoroughly enjoying witnessing your journey with this cabin build. Your videos are not long they're fine just the way they are.

WELL SAID!!! 😊
Glad to hear the nature's sounds in the background
You’re doing a great job. No music is good. I like listening to you and the everyday life stuff.
Loved not having any music (I liked the music very much in the last still) I hope you fulfill your dream buddy.
Thank you for your feedback, it means a lot to know that you like the videos. I hope to and I also wish you all the best 😉

I respect your hard work. Having an off grid cabin is a luxury
Thank you! Probably it is, but like everything else it doesn't come without the work.
I love seeing log cabin dreams come true and im really happy you can do it
Thank you, I feel very grateful to be able to do it and to share it through the videos on TH-cam and hopefully inspire others to do what they dream about.

RESPECT ..... amazing to see that there is still young people building the "old" fashion style. Love seeing that 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 GREAT work! You're a cool guy, good that people like you still exist! Greetings from Bavaria
No music is fine,Great job and looks like a lot of work for 1 man himself.
Thank you! It's a lot of work, but I like the challenge. Usually I'm not interested and inspired if something is too easy.
Love video with no music. Your videos are not boring. I enjoy them very much. Found you recently. Due to COVID and being 'stay-in-place' regulations I am watching more youtube videos. Thank you for the videos. Thank you for sharing your journey and adventure. Praying you stay healthy.

@@nikrijavec47 Good to know. Thank you!
Yes, that is something I learned working as a carpenter, "Good tools is half the job".
I'm starting to realise it now, even if I always knew that having the tools ready would save me a lot of time, I neglected taking care of them.
Glad to see that you have the hard hat, ear and eye protection!!!
😁
Best of luck with your project Nik. Looking forward to every new video.
Bojan from Tuzla, Bosnia and Hercegovina
Just happened up on your videos it's so inspiring to watch you preparing to build your log cabin and the country is beautiful living the dream thanks for putting these videos togeather I'm disabled and gives me something to do with my time I wish I was fisacally able to do what you are doing may God be with you and thank you also better without music
Your videos are great Nik keep them coming. Your one hard worker A+++
I love seeing you guys work in the woods and construction site, one of my dreams was to help someone build a wood cabin or house in the mountains. Best regards!
every time i see a video from you in my sub feed i'm looking forward to watch it. Very good every time, and 45 minutes are not too long. it is relaxing to watch your videos. Music or no music - both is good in my opinion. Anyway, keep up the amazing work.

Thank you!! Happy that you find it relaxing to watch, that's what I'm hoping to make people feel when they watch my videos... and of course to inspire and motivate others to do what they love. I'm not worrying much what others think, it's more to have some feedback from people that watch my videos and have a conversation.
Hi Nik. Great job on the video. I wouldn't change a thing.
Hii Clay! Thank you so much 😁
keep up the amazing work! i am building a cabin with spruce and its nice to see the journey others go through aswell
Thank you, I will do my best. I wish you luck with your project!
This is great, fun to learn along with you. NO to music. Right on. Keep on. Goodstuff.
with hard work comes great reward!
Yup, that's true and at the same time you learn a lot about the work and yourself.
love your work, just started watching. keep up the voice times and maybe keep video to 25 to 30 minutes. bur if longer I will still watch. I live in Indiana U.S. on 32 acres and in a 800+sq ft. popular log home and love it...getting on in my life, now 75 and still love the dream even as it gets old

enjoyed video as is! Great hard work your doing!! Look forward to more! Charlotte, NC
I'm happy you enjoyed it, than you for watching! Hope you'll like the future episodes. Greetings from Slovenia
I vicariously have a great time with you.
Really enjoying your videos of your project. It’s not possible for a log cabin video to be ‘too long’. ;)
Thank you, I'm glad you like them. Good to know, so I'm not afraid to make the video too long.
your videos are perfect like this, no need to change anything. thank you for sharing, i subscribed.
Thank you for watching and for letting me know what you think about the video, means a lot.
Great Video! The fact that you take your time to place the camera in different spots that are sometimes even quite far away from you, just for us to get some nice shots is incredible. Really impressive work!
I think your video is perfect just the way you have done it today . fine job
Thanks! I'll try to keep it this way.
Just found your channel and subscribed. I would suggest a "log arch" for removing the logs from the woods. I looked at commercial models, but decided to build my own. I also made it with a 6' section that could be added to the length for getting logs up to 24' long. Love the channel.. God Bless
Inspirational stuff brother. Polishing rouge on a polishing belt will make short work of maintaining draw shaves/spuds/slicks. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. /Jase
You've got an excellent tractor for logging. Suggestion - Keep the old chainsaw for limbing and the new chainsaw for felling and crosscutting logs. When winching logs with tripod your doing it slightly wrong. Use a separate strap for the end of multiple logs, then connect winch-hook so it's a direct vertical pull. Might also be easier if tripod you built is higher clearance from ground level. Your making excellent progress considering weather doesn't always cooperate!
No music, and 1.5 2.5 hours is great. Keep up the good work.
like David, I didn't notice the lack of music, its better with the real sound from work and wind! great job!
I posted a similar comment in another video (incorrectly). I second the need for sharp tools, and I need more discipline myself. Great video. I learn something every few minutes.
Hi Nik! i Stumbled across the 2 hour complete video yesterday and loved it! I've come back to the beginning to watch the whole process. Love your work mate! From Australia! :D
Great video, again thanks Nik...love it!! No music is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't loose heart, keep it up!! [Sydney Australia]
Thanks to you for watching, I'm happy that you enjoy the videos! Have a good day 😁
Old guy from Canada (East Coast) checking in . Interesting to watch you work and to see how you go or are going to go about your project . I had enjoyed working with logs in my younger years . There is a plainer blade attachment for the chain saw you might find worth while checking out .
Thank you for watching Terry! Working with logs is great, but it's a very physical work and puts a lot of stress on the body, very easy to injure your back. I know about the plainer for the chainsaw, but I don't like it so much. The end result when you do it with draw knife is much cleaner and also will save me a lot of gas.
Great video. I think that the format is perfect.
That's great to hear, thank you!
keep it up man!!! incredible undertaking 👍cant wait for the next one
Thanks! I will do my best 💪
awesome video don't change it, greetings from Nova Scotia
Thank you! Greetings from Slovenia
Love your channel man. Only two episodes in and i've learned so much about log processing. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful trees 🌲🌲🌲 will make a beautiful cabin! 💚💚💚
I love them. Don`t change a thing !
Loved the video, no music is Great! If you waited u ntill spring untill the trees naturally sweat the bark would practicality fall off. You can peel it off by hand in long long pieces. You would save Los of time and energy. Keep my the great work! Love it.
Thank you, means a lot! That's true that the bark would be much easier to peel in the spring, but the problem is that if you cut the trees in that time the wood will dry longer and old people say that it wouldn't last so long. The best period for the wood to last long in my area is around the week before new year, at least people who watch the moons for cutting the wood are saying so.
One cuts the trees in the winter time, not spring.
Great tips on peeling bark. I'm sure others will find it very helpful.

Enjoying your video thanks for sharing
Trev.
Trevor Tong if you are in the uk and enjoy videos like this you should check out chris harbours channel
My pleasure, thank you for watching my videos Trevor!! Greetings from Slovenia
I believe you were doing a fine job. Kind of like not having any music involved, just the sound of the work. But whatever you decide to do I am fine with it. Thanks for the video.
Awesome video ! I liked that it was long and showed every step along the way. No music is better and as you talk about your progress every 10 minutes or so . Very jealous of your lifestyle ... beats the 9-5 job here in the US. The work also keeps you in shape and fit .. most important .
Only thing I noticed between yours and everyone else’s is that a drone to take aerial videos etc would be cool.. but their expensive.
Thank you for posting your videos !
Thank you, I'm very happy that you enjoyed the video. I agree that no music and a bit of talk here and there is much better also to explain what I'm doing and to just share some of my thought as I go by with the work. I agree that work keeps you in shape, but it also take a wear on the body as most of this work is really heavy.
Having a drone would be amazing, but I don't know how I would be able to do everything alone... from filming with camera, all the work and than drive also the drone.
It's a pleasure to share the videos, thank you for watching and for writing a comment!
Absolutely wonderful videos so far!! Thank you for sharing with us!!
Awesome video! Inspiring. We are planning on building our own and this is an eye opener on the reality of the work.
Man, that's a huge amount of work . Your shoulders will look like the Hulk when you get through with those logs.
Keep going , it will be an amazing feat when your done
good luck.
Hahah hopefully so I won't even need the crane to lift the logs in place 😆Thank you!
Peeling is incredibly variable. I'm working with maple, white oak and red oak. In general, the maples strip right off, easy to peel. The oaks are both much harder than the maple and I think the white oak is worst of all.
This video was great viewing as your doing a fantastic job. I wish I had the time and land to do the same
Thank you! Sometimes you have to take the time for what you want to do, I also didn't have the time until I decided to make the time for this project.
Yes. Like many I am sure, I wish I had the land and opportunity to do as you are finding now. Watching does provide some satisfaction with participation in your challenges and progress.
One tip you likely considered by now, if the legs on your winch stand were longer, you'd have an easier time hoisting higher and getting the log skidder under the logs.
Awesome. Its not boring.
I am enjoying your videos. I have watch other debarking a log, they are using a wide body ice pick and are getting wide stripes of bark to come off at one time. Again are enjoying your video's
Thank you for watching, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. I've tried many different tools including the ice pick, but so far I found the draw knife to be the best and the easiest for me.
Old man from Oklahoma USA just found your videos and enjoy them. Please no music, Us old people don't hear too well and it is very distracting. Keep up the good work.
beautiful sunsets, just discovered your channel, so I am far behind, but I intend to binge watch!
