    This channel has saved my life. Awhile back I was evicted from my apartment and I was drowning in bills. I was working but wasn’t making enough to pay rent. I had two weeks and I used those two weeks to study how to use my car as a living space. I had a Chevy G series van and I used this channel as a lot of reference for the most basic things I would need. then as I started to save money I would upgrade the interior and by things to really make it feel like home. Almost a year later and now I have a completely furnished living spaces all thanks to you. Thank you Living Big

    The word “creative” tends to be handed out like toffee these days. I feel the word was intended for a gentleman such as this. Life handed him wood; so he carved his own world. What a privilege to gain a glimpse of it - thank you!

    The front door is JAW DROPPING! I really hope Glen gets a lot of work from this vid. People who love dragons (me!) and LOTR( also me!) would be very interested in his art. His wizards are WIZARD!!! The fact that it's a really great van build kind of sneaks under the radar, because we're all so thunderstruck by the woodworking. I strongly suspect that from the amount of commissions he gets, he will recoup the cost of the van in no time.

All the thousand of little details tucked here and there is why I had to watch twice. Just incredible .... thank you for sharing this one!
    The other encouraging bit for me is he said he'd done other art before and started carving ten years ago. I create jewelry and wood burning has been whispering to me for about two years. After battling cancer I've learned time is precious and to grasp what you want. I've been researching wood burning and am looking to buy my mid-set and hearing him this morning say he started carving a bit later in life and to have that skill level is very inspiring. So from that angle as well, thank you for sharing!
    Everyone have a beautiful day! And please remember to breathe and take life in, to LIVE not just exist.
    Glen is a pretty awesome example for us all.

    Every single video brings inspiration in some for or another that we can use in our own lives. I couldn't even dream of having an ounce of the skill and artistry that Glen has but I am still in awe and inspired by what he has produced. What a simply amazing home he has. Thank you for taking the time and effort to visit him and show it to us. Just when you think that you might run out of new and different tiny homes you show us something like this and we realise you have only started to scratch the surface of what artistry and ingenuity goes into a tiny homes. Cheers Bryce and Rasa

    What a lovely tiny home! I could see myself living here. The whole Radagast ambiance, the wonderful wood carving - amazing plywood can be shaped to such effect! Plus it is designed with practicality - the bathroom works well, and one does NOT need to go up into the loft to sleep (with bad knees it is best that I sleep using the lower couch/bed), and on the same level as the toilet. And it is road-ready!
    This is one of the few homes that hit all my like buttons. Crafted with care and whimsy, and functional! Thanks for showing us this one.
