Chainsaw-Milled Tiny Cabin Door Build and First Winter Heat! #71
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- The less-than 100sq ft, Alaskan milled cedar cabin is nearly usable and my tent never seemed so cold and cramped. Temperatures in Michigan remain so low that battery powered tools and video cameras seldom work. When the cold does briefly recede (think, 12 degrees,) I continue to plug away at my man cave. The roof is on, the propane stove is installed and the new cedar door keeps (some of) the snow out!

Carpenter for 30 some years. Not counting anymore. Watch you every week. Your work is Beautiful ! Amazingly creative ! Super inspiring ! Thank you . Stay safe !
🎯🎯
Never really done any carpentry or woodworking, but watching him make this stuff makes me think I might be able to build something. When it warms up, of course!
He’s proof that where the mind wants to go. Your whole presence will follow n figure it out ! Ups n downs I’m sure. But Damn ! He’s happy n free ! A real life. ❤️
For some one that does no planing he does a good job
It’s obvious you work harder than 90% of Utubers to get a video out weekly. Well done !
This is the Saturday morning cartoons for 45 year old me. Thank you!
I'm so excited! Spent the first 45 minutes yelling, "Turn the heater on! Come on Ryan, turn the heater on!" LOL🤣🤣 Not having to fight frozen batteries, water and such will hopefully mean you get to spend more time on fun projects. And we get to watch!
Where did you find the little gas stove
Right, only about 25 mins of building these days!!!
@@livingdeeply15 Likely much longer, but the camera just won't cooperate. Heck, I don't see how he can stand being out in those temps for 10 minutes! I'm down here in AL whining because it's 40F today 😶
Best way to start my Saturday. Thank you for uploading. Glad to see everything is still good with you
I concur.
“Nothing I build is ever square” as square lies on table in the shot!! Lol!! I’ve been watching for at least a year now and yes I know exactly what you meant.
lol
714 am notification. Guess I'll watch cuz I like it. Frozen eyeballs is not good
What a life, Hollywood couldn't create a character as cool and laid back as this dude. Move over Steve McQueen.
I'm the same way with the headphones, always someone talking or meditation going in the background, to keep my mind busy. The present moment is a better place to live.
Not trying to be critical but the cross bracing on the door should go from the hinge side at the bottom and the latch side at the top.
In that configuration it is a “compression brace” instead of a tension brace.
My 2 cents.
yep... i noticed that soon as he hung it back up...i would suggest he puts the other brace on..cut a middle section in the brace he did now so it can pass through as 1 piece going from the bottom hinge side up to the other top corner
Thinking the same. On my 9' hung sawmill doors I have a double braced put in now because I started with tension lol... But with that little door deflection may not show for many years.
Man, Grumpy old men... that dragged me back to when I was 5!
You to funny. You say “whatever” but you are attentive to details. Love your channel. Thanks
Heck yea, I look forward to this every week!
March 21 and it will be Spring. Yessss!! Spring!!🍁🍁🇨🇦
Watched this when it was first posted two years ago…watching again now puts the change in your camp since then amazing and positively improved!
Your comment about preferring the tent. I get it. I have a swag. I prefer my swag. It’s toasty warm in winter. Nice n cool n bug free in summer. Yep. I’m on your side.
that little opening behind the stove seems like a perfect place to dry socks.
As a child I looked forward to cartoons on tv on Saturday mornings. As an adult I look forward to ringworm videos on my phone on Saturday mornings.
Just a helpful hint. If you put your diagonal board so the bottom is toward the hinges it will hold the weight of the door and will be less apt to sag
Love your channel. Greetings from a warmer, Sydney, Australia.
I think of Ryan Ringworm as the sort of guy that Henry David Thoreau might have been if he'd only had a chainsaw and a better sense of humor. Thanks for the video buddy! BTW, I'm driving 1/2 way across country next week to my fishing shack in Minnesota. I've plotted a route that will include stops at all the Habitat4Humanity ReStore shops on my way. Thanks for the tip!
Agreed on the Henry David Thoreau reference, nice to see someone just appreciating the beauty of living in nature in this age of conspicuous consumption
man i always get excited for one of your new videos and always find myself sad when its over lol . but boy am i glad you got that closed in with heat now . i live in lower Michigan brother and i know how cold it gets up north . i use to live in Harrietta Michigan . 20 miles north of Cadillac . it got really cold there . and your like what 100 200 miles north of that . so knowing how cold it gets i could not help but worry about you freezing to death . at least now i know you can get warm enough to survive . i know you dont really know me but your like that one friend i see once a week . lol. any way work safe and stay warm brother see you next week . well im going to re watch i always do so there's that i guess lol .
Grumpy old men. We just watched that again about a week ago with my daughter who hadn't seen it yet.
For every little kid who wanted to "build a play fort all my own" (and I say this as a girl!) -- You're living the dream!
Omg Grumpy Old Men , I’m with you on that , blooming marvellous on my top 5
It's really looking like a tiny town!
Hello from the Netherlands .
To protect your Go-Pro from the cold, you can grab a Kooler sleeve around a drink can or beer bottles.
for your power-tools batteries, pull a termo work or traking sock over the battery, you can probably leave the sock over it yourself when the battery is on the machine.
to insulate the tiny cabin later, I would just look around to see if people don't want to get rid of their old insulation or remnants of a renovation for free or very cheap,
so you always do a small piece if you have some insulation material and it costs nothing or almost nothing .
thanks for the video . Sincerely, Hollandduck from the Netherlands
Stay strong, safe and dont fall. Thanks for sharing and being daring.
Look forward to your videos each week.
I pride myself on being able to judge people's charater , and I had you pegged as one of the good ones , and then you said you liked the grumpy old men movies well..........you just went to the top of my I like you list !!!!! I love those movies and all the stars in them , I miss seeing them . You know you might consider that foam insulation without the silver sides or bubble wrap it could be removed in the summer ! Great video as always . Oh also deer horn door handles , and maybe a little shelf just above the heater for batteries, just a thought .
I’ve been waiting for the roof! Thank you for your time. Dawns happy☀️👍
That aha moment when you realize you could have done that work inside. While you worked outside I was wondering why you weren't inside...lol
It's 16° down here at the bottom of the mitten. Much respect for your skills. Stay warm!!
Me too! It's like he's forgotten what "inside" is for LOL🤣🤣
Well that Grumpy Old men mentioned sealed the deal for me and I’ve just become a Patreon lo
Loving the new tool shed / bunk house / peanut butter warehouse!
Spent the last two weeks binging your channel from #1. Just hit me why you haven’t built a covered milling are where you can do your milling out from under the weather and store your lumber. Like a bigger version of the ATV port.
Thanks for sharing this journey. It’s been a nice escape. Love your work.
Maybe consider putting reflective heat foil on ceiling between rafters to help keep it warmer and use less propane and possibly adding more pavers around the stove to help hold the heat on lower setting once warmed up. Great job on the cabin though, I’m anxious to see how you setup your porch or steps come spring time.
Literally aluminum foil would work
Your almost there. Get the battens on and you are good to go. Love the door. Yes you need an unusual handle for the door. That little heater is in just the right spot to sleep next to. Stay warm and safe.
Quite a chuckle on the outcome of that door.,.. the worm of ring has luck on his side. Stay safe brother 💪
My week is complete now that you’re here. Can’t wait til you’re tucked in. This has been especially fun and I’m so happy for you. That sounds like another great idea for a work bench and it makes it 4 seasons, so pretty much it can be available whenever you need it, ummmm warm socks and boots.
Wow so glad you have your man cave closed n .
First time viewer and new subscriber here.I had to comment as soon as i saw you grabbing a frozen snack in which i initially thought was a leftover roof shingle.
Pretty impressive work with that chainsaw.Im glad you chose the corner for the stove.Nice work overall,stay warm.
You can take your slanted generator roof and put it over the Back Wall then you can build a workbench and then you can insulate it and then have your generator there to where you can charge your batteries and stuff
Excellent idea
She is a gorgeous little cabin. Simple foil Buble wrap that can be remove in the summer would make it a tad warmer in the winter. You may find you want to go full on building this in a full time nest with a loft. Would not be that hard to make a lean to shop on the back and really set it up for more space for projects when weather is cold.
I got too jealous of your fancy chainsaw helmet and had to get one. It's head luxury and so much more comfy than the orange things that everyone sells.
Good job looks very nice 👍 nice nod to Grumpy old men awesome movie. Be safe stay warm.
I have seen very small stoves in some tiny home builds same size or smaller. They were set up mid wall on self. They don’t always need to rest on the floor. 💕
New house looks good great 👍 job.
Don't tell any one but you are a pretty decent carpenter, looks good
hahahahaha that piece of beef jerky killed me -- I feel like every other thing you do is a bit and i am here for it always lol
I would insulate the walls to have one warm place to stay in below zero weather up your way. Nice roughing it but no sense freezing to prove it !
Well heck yeah we’re happy with it! It’s amazing and now you have a warm place to sleep, dry your clothes, and work. How much more could a person want? I just love watching you build stuff.
Really enjoy your videos! Reminds me of my younger days staying in a log cabin and panning gold in the Montana mountains.
Put some insulation in and then staple canvas up. It will then feel like a tent.
The freedom you have is great
Yeah, there's 2 type of shingles. You used what i call architectural type, but usually, for the caps, you need a pack of 3 tab style shingles, so it doesn't delaminate like this.
I have to hand it to you you are tenacious like a bull dog !
Looking good Ryan 😎👍👍🇨🇦
looks great, on the shingle ridge normally you would buy a non architectural shingle that is color matched that is one layer then your ridge would have been easier to lay.
I can’t believe you didn’t hear me. I screamed “DO THE STOVE FIRST, then door!” Lol. Love your videos sir.
I've really enjoyed this build series. A lot of great ideas here.
For future reference: when you install your drip edge, you place it UNDER the building felt at the eaves, but OVER the felt on the rake. The idea is that on the eaves, you want to direct the runoff over the fascia. On the rake, the edge is to prevent wind-driven rain from getting under the felt and rotting your underlayment.
This is so interesting. Stay warm.
Another good job I really enjoy watching you work you are very clever and you do a nice job and you’re really clever with a chainsaw keep up the good work God bless
Enjoy watching from West Virginia
Dawns here ☀️
I love watching your videos,don’t be so hard on yourself, your building ability is wonderful,,you also make me laugh,live your dream
You sure are making up for not talking in your early videos lol!! Appreciate the jokes, & your humor!!!!
~Kimmy G.
Keep your eyes peeled for northern lights this weekend. Hope for clear skies.
Yes, one of the all time movie
Trick is you use 3 tabs not architectural. Cut them kinda like diamond. Turned out good anyway.
Nice cabin keep up the good work
Your videos are interesting from start to finish. Long ones are good ones. Thanks for the entertainment.
Just a thought, if you do a roof I. The dead of winter again… the cabin was enclosed and you have your heater… just start the heater and put the tiles above it… warm them up, bend them over your thigh, then take several to the roof at a time…
One of those heat powered fans to set on top of the stove will circulate the heat so the temp is more even throughout the room.
Just a thought, maybe build a roofed structure that you can store wood under to keep it out of rain and snow. If ya build it big enough then you can clean up the boards and do your cuts under cover, I wouldn't put walls on it though.
I know you plan on putting the bunk on hinges. I think it would be great to make the bunk so that you can mount the hinges up higher as well. That way, nine months out of the year, the bunk can convert into an appropriate height workbench.
The brace is should go the other way the end that opens sags at the top fence gates made same way
Instead of going through the roof could you go through the wall to vent. That would still allow the work bench and not hit any rafters
I kept thinking that too with a gas stove. The draft might be more difficult for wood burning if he chose a small rocket stove, but the upside is he gets the radiant heat off the stovepipe as it is now.
With the amount of wood you have Ryan, it seems like a rocket stove would be a given, but I’m saying that from a luxury living standpoint. Managing fire wood for what seems like a back up situation for you might be another chainsaw and axe event. It’s pretty easy to get one and try it out in the same space. Having both to swap out might be a good plan for that time that you have the unnoticed gas leak (👋🏼 two weeks ago on my gas stove fueled by small LP tanks outside). Danner and I are planning dual-fuel on our generator and we’ve been considering what to do with the LP tank to avoid this.
Also don’t forget that with the huge volume of that stove those valves will freeze if you don’t have some way to warm the tank.
Exactly what I was going to suggest, but I think it's too late now.....lol
Yo Ringworm man. Love your shows they inspire me to keep building each and everyday I can.
One "Suggestion" I would have is to not utilize your new cabin build for just a tool shed. U put windows in, and fancied in it all up with a stove. Save it on for your living area year round. I'm afraid windows will just draw attention to your belongings ie tools which would be devastating for your channel. Also the amount of viable, safe and warmer/cooler shelter it provides warrants maybe reconsidering. Just a thought. Stay safe and keep the builds going...
❤️ I just love your show! Watch every video, and I’m a 73 year old woman that owned a decorating business! 😊 I also love that this is all happening in my home state and I live in Louisiana. Gosh it’s hot and humid here! Ugh
HA! Looking good. Love it. Had my morning off with you, the company was great.
39:15 I recommend you add trusses (diagonals) to the hinge side of the wall. A few W's should keep that wall solid.
I like the drying rack idea. Before that, I liked where you started putting the heater.
Add a fresh air inlet to heater from outside. So cold air isn't pulled into cabin through all the walls.
thats it my son keep warm chap, 👍 maybe think of a log burner made out of a old empty gas canister, make use of any cut offs exe, also could look to copper piping roung it, thermol sypon (spelt wrong lol ) hot water at same time had toasty heat 🤔👍👍
"kinda like eating broken glass" made me laugh :)
Nice video! Cardboard is a good insulator and it is free! Ron PTL, USA
Just a crazy thought... tuck some rock wool in between the wall sections.. at least on the north wall and at the ceiling. You'll need to feed your stove at night a lot less. I have nothing against HEAT : )
A door AND heat?! Wahooo!
On the open spots on the door you should put the shelves
On the battens...
Consider this. Put them on but put them on to one board of a joint only. The boards will shrink. When they have shrunk about as much as they are going to. About 6 to 12 months then... go thru the hole thing again and fasten down to the other board of the joi t Mean time, you have some restriction in the air flow.
Rather than covering the whole inside consider covering the inside with battens as well as the outside. Add a bit of calking in the process. This further restricts the permeability. Still a single wall design just tighter and far less material than a double wall.
pegboard on the inside of the door. I did that in my basement very handy. you will need another 2X4 vertical in the middle.
I can’t believe you haven’t fired that stove up YET! Even without buttons and a door, it’s GOT to be warmer than without heat!
"I think I may have frozen my eyeballs." THAT is freaken' hilarious! 😆
Good morning Buddy I’m loving the cabin/ workroom/ storage/ drying area a whole lot. Can’t wait to see what ya build and how ya fix this cabin up. Was wondering with all the wood scraps, logs and branches would a small wood stove be more frugal to run? I use wood stoves where ever I need heat. I have a bandsaw mill, so never run out of scrap wood to keep warm with. Thank you so much for all you do and share. Saturday wouldn’t be the same without a lil ringworm hehehe. God bless buddy
I have wondered the same thing on several occasions. Perhaps now that Ryan is building enclosed structures he may experiment with a metal or brick wood stove for heating and cooking. However, since he primarily uses a chain saw he may lack tools to craft a proper wood burning device.
How about a Raise and lower drying rack like? Like a pot holder in the kitchen. Space saver and goes away when not needed.
Agreed Grumpy Old Men is a great movie
An antler shed would make some nice door handles.
Good work Ryan! Thank you 😊
Hi Ryan - cabin looks good. I was surprised to see you use propane for heating with all the scraps left over from building. All looks good though
Seriously don’t understand why I watch your channel but I always look forward to your projects since I found you! 😂 hope you are enjoying this cold weather and are able to stay warm inside now! See you next week!
Hey
I think I figured your peak shingle issue.
Take a small propane torch up along with the roofing tubes you had on the roof. Heat the ridge so it relives the stress. Apply tar where shingles are torn. The peak will form to roof.
Unless I am missing something?
I understand why you build the way you do and it's great! However I'm thinking you should insulate! The heater will cause melting outside that will cause severe damage to the structure. You may have another plan I haven't seen yet, or it just doesn't matter to you, but I'd personally hate to see it destroyed and the trees wasted due to water damage.
