Shawn is not just a builder ... he is also an artist. When he makes a cut to fit a log or board it always fits so tight it has to be bumped or hammered into place. That’s the type of precision I’d expect working with a full blown wood shop. But he’s doing it with hand tools in the dirt. That’s possible because of a lifetime of doing it. I’m impressed.
Shawn is, without doubt, the greatest "primitive" carpenter I've ever had the privilege of observing. A master craftsman by all benchmarks I can think of.
@Gillie Monger I hear you. It all looks pretty crude to me but I am a boat builder by training. This level of design & craftsmanship is part of the "rustic charm" (?)

When I first read the title of this video I started laughing... my first thought was, "Does Shawn think that cedar construction is going to make it smell better???? I lived on a homestead in Alaska many decades ago and an outhouse at 35 below zero is NOT a laughing matter! 😁 🤣
Every time I watch some off the grid or bushcraft or whatever video, I think wow, that looks so cool. Then I remember modern plumbing and suddenly I don't feel so at one with the forest any more.
When I was a little kid in the 50's, I remember asking my dad why they put a half moon on an outhouse door. He said because if it was a full moon, people could see in! ha! I never forgot that! Nice job!

Long ago I noticed you use spiral nails quite a lot. Folks, that's a Pro Tip worth following, In my humble opinion anyway. Just ask anyone that's had to pull one out! Thanks for all the great content and the work you do to provide it.
Having had to pull those out of a project that someone else did I can attest to the tenacity of those bloody nails! My STARS! Enough to make a grown woman weep or shout terse things!
Is she never barking? Have never heard such a quiet dog in a wood earlier. She is special. Very nice outhouse, a lot of work. :-) Beutiful pictures of the wild life.
I would have never believed it, not in a million years how much joy I got out of a guy, Shawn James building an outhouse with nothing but hand tools only, simply amazing.
"Nothing but hand tools" is pushing it a wee bit, since the arrival of the A.T.V. and the mill. I think adding a few heavy bits of kit has been a great move for Shawn. Apart from simplifying some of the heavy work, it also speeds things up a wee bit and Shawn is less likely to hurt himself. Working alone, with heavy materials, was taking it's toll on him and using the power tools makes a whole lot of sense.👍 Having said that, I see the attraction of using nothing but hand tools, very satisfying to do and to watch. I wouldn't imagine he'll move to "all power tools" but it's good to see machinery doing some of the heavier stuff.😁
@@2H80vids He had the mill well over a year now, he used it milling lumber for the cabin extension. Besides, we all know the insane cost of lumber at the big box stores, prices tripled. His mill already paid for itself and will continue to do so by building the new cabin.
I never thought, in a million years, that I would spend almost an hour watching someone build an outhouse... and enjoy every minute of it! Thanks so much for sharing! 👍👍
The moose eating brush in the woods........ amazin video of so much we all love. And omg he said thank you to Calli for bringin her toy to throw. What a guy. Hes so so amazing. His building expertise is perfection. I bet there is not a mistake in the entire homestead when he is finished
This is the prettiest outhouse I’ve ever seen there is a calendar of outhouses this should be in it and I didn’t know that calendar existed until I was looking for a blue heeler one and I didn’t know that there was such a variety of calendars on the market
I have a post card I got in WV ...... it is a series of outhouse, and titled "Great Houses of West Virginia". :0D That post card and another which is solid black and titled "West Virginia at Night" are prominently displayed right next to my computer...... why? I have a small house in WV up on a mountain ridge ...... quiet and solitude ......
It's notable that both the ladder and the outhouse show a considerable advance in sophistication over the versions used the first time around. I'm looking forward to seeing the new cabin design even more now!
@@nathansmith6914 I'm hoping it will have a master bedroom downstairs... Climbing stairs or ladders to a loft, isn't easy, as one gets older. The loft space could be done too, but put a bedroom downstairs...Just a thought though. It's entirely up to Shawn and gorgeous wife.
@@patriciabarnes7034 agree 100%. They are getting older. Im in my mid 60s & i couldnt imagine climbing into the loft of his other cabin. I hope he realizes that he & his wife will be living there in their old age too. 🤔 Ik he & wifey are in good shape but the body still gets older & weaker regardless of how active you are.

WOW! An outhouse for the ages, a thing of beauty, a work of art. Dang! If one must use an outhouse, one may as well "go" in style! I continue to be mesmerized and calmed by these videos. Such great work! Thanks Shawn, love you Cali.
Substantial outhouse build! That vent is definitely a thing of beauty, don't think I've ever seen that done. Vote for Cali as the "Most Polite and Patient Dog"!
This construction, while still rustic, is a lot less "pioneer" - and a lot more permanent & made to last. And just the same, here I am watching a man build an outhouse in the woods, start to finish!
That is a hefty, proper outhouse!! Ours is not nearly so reinforced but going on 96 years standing.., yours will be there for many, many generations to come. Our cabins are a main camp, a kitchen cabin and a cubby/bunk cabin, we love having the separate areas, kitchen is only a few steps from the main cabin. All was built by a great uncle and hunting buddies. Loving your channel
Shawn, you're streamlining your builds, it seems. Good for you! Take two on the homestead gives you many opportunities for improvements from lessons learned on the first that I'm sure you're excited about even more than I am. Thanks for making such great videos and sharing your life with us. God bless, brother.
I must say I love the sing of the hammer. I grew up hearing that since my Dad was a carpenter. I sure hope you will be happy in this new spot. Your videos are peaceful to watch. Take care.
I just did a search on that moose eating twigs and found twig eaters is connected to their name. That was interesting. The twigs must add something in their digestion. Them eating twigs also helps clean areas I would think. I am glad I looked that up. Many blessings from Southeast Texas!
TH-cam also has a Nature Of Things (on the CBC, Canada) program. The name of the 43:55 minute program on TH-cam is, "The Incredible Things I've Seen While Following A Moose And Her Calf For A Year". The video takes place in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. Thought I would add that for anyone that might be interested. I would recommend anything on the program The Nature Of Things.
Pj Jones... I think it's time Shawn present Cali with a deploma. Cali must have finished her apprenticeship in building, sawing, milling wood, mitre cuts, etc.
Building the outhouse at short distance adds to the availabe living space off the grid.Liked the country music theme and company of the outdoor wildlife.
Seriously, as beautiful as this turned out I cannot wait to see the new forest kitchen. I loved the last one so much, it made me want to cook, which just isn't a thing, lol.
Only on this channel would I watch with anticipation of the building of an outhouse, because while it might be just an outhouse to Shawn it's like a well crafted piece of art to me , honestly to see the amount of detail put into it and the fact that he throws these little touches that just add to the look and you think to yourself, now that's ia real nice country outhouse . Got a visit from a moose and a turkey, now there is something you dont see everyday, but it's nice to see never the less, nature can always have some suprises in store for you
Step by step ! Gotta have a restroom! Can’t wait to see what you do with the new and improved outdoor kitchen. I really want to see what you do for your oven and what you chose to do for storage for this homestead.
I remember the outhouse my grandmother had at her country house. We went there for about 15yrs. walking up a steep hill in the night with a flashlight. Dangerous, I fell down that hill a few times.🥴😭
I love your lifestyle in the middle of the forest and I admire your courage and patience, thank you for sharing all of his videos with us. Hello from North Africa in Algeria from an Algerian Kabyle Berber.
Pretty cool looking outhouse! Am glad you are now in the 21st century with all the cool power tools. I used to get tired watching you sawing away endlessly with hand saws.😉
@@sandrabaker5930 that’s a good start right? I love Shawn’s channel for the rustic structures he creates & the beautiful outdoor scenery he shows us. For an older person I feel for him knowing that the longer it takes puts more stress on his shoulder & other muscles in his body. It’s just an opinion.
That was a quick build, but a work of Art. In the Island where us Grandchildren spent ten weeks of every Summer everyone had an Outhouse. Like yours all little houses. They were build in an L Shape so that one side had special seats for Toddlers and young one. We had to scrub them every week, taking turns. I had my Grandfather inspect before I did my cleaning. Sometimes there were Spiders or Frogs and I do not like those things. Also they had little sort of table or Alcove with a Basin and a Jug, so we could wash our hands after use. I lived watching you build it, brought back some childhood memories. You are.miving ahead rapidly. God Bless.
Watching you is a masterclass in what true self-fulfillment looks like. You are ever calm, present, in the moment. I especially love watching you use the various tools. It's a reminder of what any archeologist would tell us...the story of how we became human is inextricably tied up in the invention of tools. Love that the teaser for the big things to come begins with an outhouse. I'm so excited to see the new cabin that I've been re-watching all of the old ones. Some of us count it a good day if we get a coffee going, make the bed, and pay a few bills. You wake up and create a world. I am so grateful to be along for the ride. Thank you, Shawn. Stay safe and toss Cali's toy for me. That is one magnificent dog.
Shawn, as I watched you build the door for your outhouse, I remember my dad using the brace and bit set with different screw driver bits he had made to run in screws. Worked almost as fast as battery powered drill driver. Watching you use hand tools sure brings back memories of helping my pops build stuff around the farm. Thanks
Beautiful job once again! You make it look so easy but anyone that has tried building anything knows what goes into something like this. Its always a pleasure to watch your craftmanship skills and appreciate the time involved. Thanks for sharing Shawn. The great photography is appreciated as well! Sheryl from Wisconsin 🙋♀️
Mans best friend interaction. I find it even more touching right now as our 7 year old Choc. lab has to go through daily doses of prednisone after having an ally sized mast cell removed from her leg. I hate that she is always hungry, thirsty, and at night I see in her eyes that she knows something is not right. It’s been 5 or6 weeks and we’re contacting the vet to see if it’s safe to cut back the dose. I don’t mean to be a downer. It just shows how close we are to our pets. We feel their suffering deeply. And we enjoy their company more than we sometimes realize.
Staying fit with new projects .. .. Cali's appearance at 13:20 was awesome .. made me chuckle .. That throw toy has become a trademark appendage for her.. ..Best company a man could ask for !! ..
I'm torn in two now! I was sitting at my computer working on a JD, that has to be submitted by 23 of April, and I've left it to watch Shawn and Cali build a beautiful outside loo. I've always been terrified of outside loos and felt glad I don't have to use one, but this one actually invites you in. So pretty. Another job well done, Shawn. I guess Shawn&Cali won. Now its back to work.
Thankyou. I needed some Shawn creativity this week. Always a delight to watch. You have created a necessary with style. I lost my beautiful girl Lolly (spoodle) on Monday. After close to 15 years together it’s hard, but she was sick and in pain and deserved better. So I gave it to her. I’m lost without her. It made me think of when Cali was injured, it would have been hard missing her two steps behind you as I miss my little girl behind me.
Shawn I’m glad you’re using modern tools to help cut down on the physical work to help build this homestead. I know your feelings for not using noise makers and polluters. Sometimes you need help when you’re by yourself. We will be here watching and cheering for you. Stay safe
Hi Shawn, good to see have your dog back with you. I hope you are safe and well and the family 👪. Nice video to watch keep them coming m8 . All the best from colin bradford in Milton Keynes in the uk 🇬🇧. 🇬🇧
Shawn this is a really top of the range outhouse.Most I have seen have been so ramshackle ,all coloured or falling to pieces..At least you have one with a beautiful view of the woods.It’s so nice to see Cali too having fun as usual,she’s very good isn’t she..That big machine you have now for cutting your planks with will save so much hard work when coming to building the cabin..I have never seen so much wildlife since I have been watching your videos.I had to smile when you was knocking the top pieces of wood in the Woodpecker was answering you back..You are truly blessed to be there.Stay safe both of you Love n Light 🥰
Part of the pleasure of watching you do your projects is that everyone approaches things differently. With all the sawing you're going to be doing I'm amazed that you haven't knocked together a sawbuck or two and a couple of saw horses.
Shawn is not just a builder ... he is also an artist. When he makes a cut to fit a log or board it always fits so tight it has to be bumped or hammered into place.

What's a mudhound?
Shawn in all my years and I am 71 never saw a outhouse look so good. Great job my friend.
Absolutely fantastic job!!!👍👏🙏💯
The Out House must be equipped with newspapers magazines rack , That is the historical regulation Nice REGARDS from Alberta Zbigniew
Beautiful Privy Shawn, so much detail, definetly a room with a view!!
Shawn, as I watched you build the door for your outhouse, I remember my dad using the brace and bit set with different screw driver bits he had made to run in screws. Worked almost as fast as battery powered drill driver. Watching you use hand tools sure brings back memories of helping my pops build stuff around the farm. Thanks
Beautiful job once again! You make it look so easy but anyone that has tried building anything knows what goes into something like this. Its always a pleasure to watch your craftmanship skills and appreciate the time involved. Thanks for sharing Shawn.
The great photography is appreciated as well! Sheryl from Wisconsin 🙋♀️
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
Absolutely LOVE the antlers Shawn!
👍😁
Think I might've sanded the seat a bit more... 😬🤭
Mans best friend interaction. I find it even more touching right now as our 7 year old Choc. lab
has to go through daily doses of prednisone after having an ally sized mast cell removed from her leg.
I hate that she is always hungry, thirsty, and at night I see in her eyes that she knows something is not right.
It’s been 5 or6 weeks and we’re contacting the vet to see if it’s safe to cut back the dose.
I don’t mean to be a downer. It just shows how close we are to our pets. We feel their suffering deeply.
And we enjoy their company more than we sometimes realize.
Staying fit with new projects ..
.. Cali's appearance at 13:20 was awesome .. made me chuckle ..
That throw toy has become a trademark appendage for her..
..Best company a man could ask for !! ..
My favourite thing is watching you build stuff. Bravo again.
Stainless chase cap in order! I know a guy...
I'm torn in two now! I was sitting at my computer working on a JD, that has to be submitted by 23 of April, and I've left it to watch Shawn and Cali build a beautiful outside loo. I've always been terrified of outside loos and felt glad I don't have to use one, but this one actually invites you in. So pretty. Another job well done, Shawn. I guess Shawn&Cali won. Now its back to work.
I still after watching these videos for years can't get over the craftsmanship!! This man is genius!!
Looks too nice to be an outhouse!
Thankyou. I needed some Shawn creativity this week. Always a delight to watch. You have created a necessary with style. I lost my beautiful girl Lolly (spoodle) on Monday. After close to 15 years together it’s hard, but she was sick and in pain and deserved better. So I gave it to her. I’m lost without her. It made me think of when Cali was injured, it would have been hard missing her two steps behind you as I miss my little girl behind me.
Definitely a throne room fit for a king! :)
It's cool to have tools. You could use a roof rack for the buggy so that you can transport long wood lengthwise.
Shawn I’m glad you’re using modern tools to help cut down on the physical work to help build this homestead. I know your feelings for not using noise makers and polluters. Sometimes you need help when you’re by yourself. We will be here watching and cheering for you. Stay safe
Hi Shawn, good to see have your dog back with you. I hope you are safe and well and the family 👪. Nice video to watch keep them coming m8 .
All the best from colin bradford in Milton Keynes in the uk 🇬🇧. 🇬🇧
Shawn this is a really top of the range outhouse.Most I have seen have been so ramshackle ,all coloured or falling to pieces..At least you have one with a beautiful view of the woods.It’s so nice to see Cali too having fun as usual,she’s very good isn’t she..That big machine you have now for cutting your planks with will save so much hard work when coming to building the cabin..I have never seen so much wildlife since I have been watching your videos.I had to smile when you was knocking the top pieces of wood in the Woodpecker was answering you back..You are truly blessed to be there.Stay safe both of you Love n Light 🥰
Callie always looks like she just stepped out of the doggy fluffing beauty parlor! 😍
Or out of the pond, love that look too!
@@Flowergurl2000 any look on Callie is a good look!
A terrible beauty was born and she steals hearts. Not a cuter pooch on YT!
Love the series that dogs is a big part of why i like it☺☺
It may sound silly, but this is a work of art! Great job, Shawn!
The best part of this channel is, you can hit the like button right after clicking play! Truly good stuff.
Must have some sort of order even in the woods! Very beautiful and needed especially when Mrs. James is onsite! Security with privacy lol.
Part of the pleasure of watching you do your projects is that everyone approaches things differently. With all the sawing you're going to be doing I'm amazed that you haven't knocked together a sawbuck or two and a couple of saw horses.
You are amazing! Dedication, patience and skills. Cali is the ⭐️ As always I enjoyed every minute. God Bless!
Just brilliant, everything just brilliant.
And Cali......what a superstar.
Beautiful I will just say that
Fascinating how much faster the new builds are going. There is a new level of mastery. Seems like the move was meant to be.
Just proves my theory, even when you are 6 feet under ground, Cali is STILL going to want you to throw that toy!
Лесопилка - просто класс! Здорово, когда лось так запросто смотрит тебе в глаза
Love the knotted wood on your outhouse; Like others have commented, it's a work of art!
I would of went with drywall. 😂
It's like putting together a jigsaw puzzle..all the pieces fit and you're coming down the long stretch to see it finished..👍🦋
Wow, the most beautiful outhouse built! That’s exciting, because now on with the next project! Stay safe, Shawn.
