Building an Off Grid Cabin using Free Pallet Wood: A Wilderness Project
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.พ. 2018
- We built this small off grid log cabin using recycled pallet wood that we collected for free. The aim of the diy project was to try and save money by building a cabin in the forest on the cheap. Living off grid is something we have always admired, being able to forage and gather food from the land, much like the primitive hunter-gatherer did. This off the grid cabin, although small, is an ideal one-man bug out camp in a survival situation. Slowly, we are turning this off grid cabin in the forest into a wilderness homestead.
So far, this tiny hobbit home has no electricity or solar power, but it does have a window, roof, front porch, folding table, raised bed, chair, bench, shelves, bookcase and a woodstove to keep the cabin warm during the cold winter months.
To build the pallet wood cabin we have used a mixture of hand tools and power tools. We filmed and documented the building of this log cabin in a playlist on our channel called "The Off Grid Pallet Wood Cabin" which you can watch here: • Off Grid Log Cabin Bui...
We started the cabin build by breaking the pallets down into useable pieces of timber. We then cleared a site in the forest to build the foundations of the cabin using larger pallets. The second stage of the build was the side walls, and then the roof, which we used a piece of recycled tin from an old barn. We then fitted a small window from a garden shed, and started to work on building the front porch. Once the main structure of the cabin was complete, we focused on making rustic pallet wood furniture for the inside of the small house. We bolted together a raised bed, and made a small chair and foldaway table to save space inside. We then needed to heat the cabin, for this we opted for the G Stove Heat View which has a stove pipe oven attachment so that we can bake food in it, plus a water container to boil water for fresh coffee and tea.
In many of the episodes we cooked food in cast iron frying pans on the woodstove. In the warmer months we cooked on an open camp fire using a cast iron grill on a Bushcraft style tripod which we lashed together. We have cooked fresh fish, pie, bacon, eggs, soup and much more on the woodstove.
Hopefully, we can use this former Bushcraft Camp as an area to practice developing our wilderness survival skills, learning primitive technology and how to forage for wild edibles and catch and cook our food. At the end of the day, this project was more about a father and son spending time in the outdoors working on free diy projects and learning how to become self reliant and save money for a happier lifestyle. We hope you enjoy the adventure!

I am just loving the fact that you all have saved the old nails out of the pallets and are reusing them to build this new place. Excellent job.
I want 1 in my yard
I sat here and thought “I’m not sitting here for an hour watching 2 guys built a cabin”
An hour later, multiple rewinds and many smiles later - I’m totally glad I did.
Recycled supples, simple tools, no words.
I am in awe, gentlemen. Well done!
I’m 35 mins in and still going strong! 🇬🇧 💪
@Will Roberts 😂
Same here, then it turned into, what are they building now? AHHH that's clever.
Ground_Pilot 595 +looks good,your dad sure has good hands
I speed up the video
I LOVE this! Thank you for taking the time to show how you did all of this. I'm a woman and all of my adult life I have wanted to know how to build a shack. I've never understood a lot of the most basic of building ideas (no one ever taught me), but I feel like I learned a lot from this. What a great dad!
I never had any one teach me he is a great dad
yeah alot comes down to Supporting every wall i.e. nailing those 45 degrees planks and just well thought out space management. the table with holding planks next to them .... I also love spending time in the woods eaven better with my dad have done alot with him (^‿^) we are like best buddys
We loved the video, it brought back memories. My dad tore down several buildings(dirty work) to get enough material to build a garage so seeing you straightening nails was heartwarming. Thank you, I'm sure you never thought your video would make an old lady cry but it did . Bless you
Donated pallets = free
Reused nails = free
Time spent father & son = priceless
Rtrtvggh6dd and I have been in this since last week with my head
Wood stove with an oven and water boiler = $2000
Why do I get the feeling it was dad's idea, to finally get the boy out his basement..
Next thing he bought was a wifi extender... n we never saw him again...
We need more of this and less of Xboxes
Time spent reading this comment = wasted
At the beginning, that was quite possibly, the coolest rope wrapping trick I've ever witnessed.
If anyone knows “type” of wallthey used i would really love to know. Thank you
It would be referred to as a shake wall, or shake shingles.
My Grandad taught me that wrapping technique. Thumb to elbow 😁
That's pretty basic. Learnt it when I was 7 when I was in cub scouts...
Me too!!
I really like it. No music in the background or people talking nonstop. Just the natural sounds of the hammer, drill or saw. Fantastic
I dont even know where to start. I could NOT speed this up. I'm a 5ft 62 yr old woman and dammit im going to do this. I spent 100's of hours as a child in the woods by myself making forts and other habitats. I need to do it at least one more time. Thank you. So much. Im not sure why, by the time i got to the end of a vid i was going to skim thru i wept. Go figure. Just.....poignant. my bath water is uber cold but this video was worth it. Now....the stove.
I am curious - did you build your cabin in the woods? If so, please post a video and let me know where to go to see the video online. If not, let me know. I am a very fit, vital woman of a certain age myself, completely free of any responsibilities, a retired RN after a 40+ year extremely satisfying career. I grew up in a Cherokee community in the Missouri Ozarks, spending most of my free time with my cousin doing EXACTLY what you described! I now live on Cape Cod - 40 years - and since retiring last year, have had the urge to leave this beautiful Heaven on Earth, but only when the “where and when” resonate with my spirit. Where are you in the world, if you don’t mind me asking.... Oh! I am 5’8”!🙂🙃🙂 Bless you, Cathy!
Similar but 20yrs younger...I always wanted to build a little clubhouse or treehouse and I so want to do this as well. Luckily I have 2 acres to do it on. Just afraid hubby won't understand
@@insightbytes2136 So what if he doesn’t. It’s not like it’ll take anything from him if you go outside & have fun doing it. They’re using lots of reclaimed materials so the cost isn’t much at all - so that’s a non issue. It’s mostly just time.
I want one in my garden!
@Cathy, I hope you do this. I want to do this too, though perhaps a different shape. Nowadays you can even RENT out things like this through the various camp/tent rental sites, so if you build one you might be able to make profit with it.
It's not perfect, but it's time well spent with my Dad! Hope you enjoy this longer video of the whole build. We're so grateful for all the feedback you guys have given us on this series. There will be a video soon on how many pallets we used, the dimensions of the cabin etc. We have tried to recycle as much as possible, re-using the nails, scavenging for free materials in skips and refuse sites (all with permission).
TA Outdoors Enjoyed following the series guys, great work.
Loving this series. Along with all your other videos. Keep up the good work! 😀
Thanks!
TA Outdoors is this one new? Or is it a different cabin?
Is it the same one or new?
I just want to say, I think that it's dope that you spend time with your dad doing things like this. This might come off as sappy or cliche but the world needs this kind of father son interaction. Awesome build as well! Keep on keeping on.
You should probably use some of the metal (that you used for the roof) to create a heat shield by the wood burning stove.
Absolutely brilliant. I homsteaded in NE British Columbia in 1973. I did the same thing you guys have done alongside my father back on the farm. Money was tight back then. Cherished memories for me. Happy to see both of you working together. Cheers!
This reminds me of a build that my friends and I did a few years ago. A build like this, is not perfect by the measuring tape or square, because it's PERFECT by the measure of time with Dad, or anyone special in your life for that matter. Thank You both for sharing this experience with us all.
A joy to watch. For me, the sounds of work and not talking gave it a zen quality which increased the peacefulness.
I cannot describe how much I wish I could do this with my sons.
Thank you for your gift.
Dan Leclair “a zen quality which increased the Peacefulness”
Well said.
0 minutes in, wearing gym clothes and looking for music on TH-cam and see this video in my feed.
30 minutes in, still in gym clothes and hooked to the video.
45 minutes in, cracked open an ipa, gym clothes off.
1 hour in, wanna quit my job, leave my life and move into this cabin.
Subscriber for life.
Many blessings to you and your pop from Texas!
This is the best reaction comment I've ever read. Love it! I felt similarly watching this. Hated to see the dad has since passed.
@@patihopkins5190 my god! I had no idea. That breaks my heart.
Actually, it was a horrible comment, only because he wanted to move into this cabin, rather than build his own. Maybe that's what he really meant.
@@patihopkins5190 when did dad pass away????
lmao me too, i jusst decided to buy vacant land in california and i need to know how to survive on nothing but desert. saving up for all the new adventures..
also stuck on this video
I am a 64 year old woman who will learn how to do this, i love it, working with my hands, starting and completing a project and so much fun knowing u r self reliant. Thank u for the time, effort and love between father and son u put into this. With someone would start a class to teach our young people how to do these very important things.
Cannot wait to get my pallet cabin underway. I'm so inspired by the videos of you and your father working alongside one another. My hat is off to you both.
Beautiful, wonderful and marvelous to spend time with a family. I enjoy just to see two men in 21st century enjoyed your cabin. Congratulations dad and son. I think it was a time that both didn't forget anymore. I will call my grandchildren just to see this video. I loved to see all video. Thanks for share with us. 🙏 🇧🇷
Your statement @ 1:02:50 explains it ALL. I teared up several times watching this entire video. I'd be very happy building a shit-shack with my Dad if he gave me enough of his time - He's Alive but I doubt that would ever happen. Your Dad gave you so many building and self-confidence lessons to you without saying a word. Show this video to your kids - You're a lucky guy!
It's the other way around with me, I'm the dad and I built my shed with my son. I trained him how to safely use the nail gun and I allowed him to do all the fixing. We both loved the time spent together. Now he's got a gf and I hardly ever see him but our shed still stands and the memories are still there. I couldn't have imagined doing the same thing with my dad, he's never told me he loves me and I'm 46, or my mother in fact. Good luck pal.
+4x4 & Ponds UK Thank you for being such a loving father to your son. You're a great Dad, and I'm glad he has you there for him. Have a wonderful day!
@@northzero2390 My Dad just called me the other day to say he has started Therapy - Yeah, with a Therapist. He's 71. We'll see where it goes! I'm 46 as well and have a 2.5 yr old Daughter - One of her favorite toys is a plastic cordless drill ~ It's going to be Fun to do projects with her! Hope everyone is doing well :)
@@ggnombe3832 Perfect words and well said, Brother!
yes very blessed man i cried 2
Wow. I am so impressed!!! You and your dad are brilliant and skilled!!! I see you cherish this build with your dad. He has taught you well. I believe this is how God intended us to live. Simply and with family. I have learned so much from you both. Amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
You're blessed to have such a determined father ! He is one of a kind his teachings will forever be helpful. Especially to those withouts dad's like him
Beautiful! Doesn't matter what the cabin looks like (it's perfect!) But time and education from Dad is the absolutely the best!
Anyone else watch the whole video
Numerous times
Yup
Yes, it's perfect! It's perfect when a partnership is established between a father and his son. When that partnership involves outdoor projects, it's even more than perfect. Congrats! The world needs more people like you. Thanks for sharing.
I love these videos with you and your dad working side by side . I know you will never forget that time spent together . It is priceless !
I just came across your channel and I think this is absolutely awesome, the cabin of course but the relationship you have with your dad is heartwarming. I wish there was more of that these days (parents and children being close and there for each other). God Bless you both.
Like the caption on the last videos.. Sounds of sawing, hammering, winds, fire cracking, boiled water, drilling.. Its wonderful without speech and music makes it more dramatic.. Having a father and son spending time together that count..!
it was very refreshing just to watch a video where there were no spoken words.
☺
@@alfredmcdusseldorf6228 amen to that indeed brotha
yes indeed Bro
Exactly... Or unnecessary music.
when i built our shed i used a plan from *WoodBlueprints. Com* and it had all the blueprints, supplies, materials, and list well laid out for me.
Time like this is the very thing no father can get back with their sons and daughters.
As they stated at the end, they don't care whether it the project rots away within a year. It's the time spent doing the project that will create memories to last a lifetime.
Awesome stuff guys!!!
I agree 100%.
I love how you did all of this with very basic tools and didn't care how long the cabin would last. You built stuff together, father and son, in the outdoors. How wholesome, challenging, fun and human is that! I hope do do something like that with my son one day as well. God bless you. Peace.
such precise and intense work, I am a 73 year old woman who loves this kind of stuff. Thank You!
shabbychicdew hello, Have a good day there. Greetings from a gentleman in the Philippines 🇵🇭
This video is really special. My father passed away 4 years ago tomorrow. He could do stuff like this with one arm behind his back, he had that "dad" knowledge.
I watched the whole thing. Thank you.
Miss ya, Dad.
Seeing you guys re-using wood made me glad. It brought back memories of my childhood, watching and helping my dad add onto our frame 3-room 'shot-gun' house. Bless you, thanks for sharing!
The finishing touches did it for me. The picket fence, the sink, the porch etc. Great job and love the fact you spent time together.❤️
I'm 15, and I think I'll build a place for me and my friends to hang out at in the summer with the help of my father, thank you for this. It has inspired me a lot.
Neegan Anderson i wish i had my dad still
Sorry about that man, I know how it feels.
thats what i want to do and it worked just build it bit by bit and u will get there
If I were you, I will call my dad too. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
😉
When I was overseas in the ‘70’s we went thru a small fishing village. There was an artillery training range nearby. The nicest house was made from discarded shell pine boxes.
David Linihan @@@
My dad passed away when I was 11 years old know I'm 29 I love this kind of survival videos. Maybe in a future I can make this bond with my son
It is awesome to do, and your dad will be smiling! I miss doing things like this with my dad, grandpa & my mom's family.
My country isn't on full lockdown, there's a little field where no one goes and there's a shop nearby that leaves pallets in their car park.. I think you know where I'm going with this
Haha take advantage of it!
i hope you ain't stealing
How did it go?
I know, you wanna build a chicken coup just like the one in the video
@@JohnnyBravo1977 I would happily live in that coup.
I really enjoy your videos. Your Dad reminds me of my own Father. I don't know how many nails I pulled with the old Crescent nail puller when I was a youngster. We tore down old buildings and reused the lumber. One of my main jobs was straightening the nails on an old piece of railroad rail. I came from a large family of twelve children and we didn't have much money. We learned to recycle, repurpose, and re-use at an early age. I still keep cans of salvaged nails, screws, bolts, hinges, springs, etc. in my workshop.
anybody notice how nice that dirt look, man looks like those leaves decompose really good.
Underrated comment
Plenty of microorganisms in it that will promote wood rot.
i saw that to.....and was thinking a summer crop would grow like crazy
Good point. Should have probably set it up on blocks. The deadfall should produce some good grub worms. Taste like chicken. 😂
I noticed! Good black soil!
Back again to say I have just double lined my pallet shed with more pallet wood from a large metal yard .1/4 mile from my lockdown door..brilliant to watch you and yer dad again. Hope you all doing well.
No music, no talking, just doing and shot in an interesting way. Thank you. Great job all the way around!
a couple crafty old and, not so old, woodsman!! Flush any negative comments....it's pure jealousy! This little place is PERFECT!!! Can't say enough about how impressed I was to watch this creation develop!!
Second time l have watched. I love it especially the finishing touches and that amazing little wood stove! I am 75yo woman and clostrofobic. I am building a pallet shed for my husband to repair his motorcycle using only what l have on the small farm. I am having the time of my life because of vidios like this. Thank you guys!
You not only used pallets to build the cabin but you built it off the grid and out in the woods where you have access to lumber that you also did not pay for. It was a very resourceful build. I love the stove, how you made guard rails out of trees for the porch, a place for firewood, you built all of your little bit of what furnishings you needed. People think I am weird because I want to build a tiny home off the grid and homestead-- and I am a woman!! There like, WHAT!?!?! I am divorced and I have no kids, just a dog. What do I need a huge house for? I mean really! Makes perfect sense to me.

Tonya Bailey: I'm with You Tonya! I've been looking for property with 1 or more natural spring's on it, for a little over 3 years now. I've got lot's & lot's of plan's that will provide me with all the fish, meat, veggies, fruits, nuts, herbs & spices etc. I will need. I had everything that I ever wanted in Oregon, but then my wife passed & I sustained debilitating injuries which led to me loosing my home, property(s), vehicles & 2 small but profitable businesses & everything else I worked my butt off to have. I was told that I would "Never walk again" by 2 Dr.'s.. 15 year's apart & they were both right, for about a year. But it's hard to keep a good man or woman down. I can walk & get around ok, I recon I'm kicking again, not very high, but I'm kicking. Also I have faith in GOD & I believe that I will achieve my goals. And I will Pray for You to achieve all of Your goals also Tonya. Getting back to basics & living off the land (as much as possible) will provide us with the things we need, to start the next chapter in our lives. May peace & happiness always be with You Tonya, I Pray that You will be successful in everything You do. I also Pray that You will find & keep Tottal happiness in Your life.
Mereana Andrew You ruined it by declaring 10 thousand other women do it.
^ she made it better for me, an 18 yr old girl since i had no idea other women were actually keen on this idea, and if anything that comment added to my confidence.
I'd much rather have a place to myself like this.
So I care, Mereana. Bugger off.
I am a woman too and that looks like an amazing project. As a woman, I don't know if I could go that long without talking though. lol I hope you follow your dream.
I love this! I was raised as a prepper & living off grid some & I could totally see myself living in something like this adding on as you go while living in one area having a garden for food & hunting as well as being close to creeks & river for water & fishing yep I could live so happily 🥰 the perfect hermit lifestyle my early retirement goals lol I just turned 42 so I see this happening in my near future 😁
The best video I've seen on YT hands down!! What a gift you two have in each other.
Anyone who says negative things about this build has NO imagination! I think it's great!! Love the finished job.
My husband built a 12×12 cabin with wood pallets. He built the frame, walls and ceilings with the pallets. It is gorgeous!!
Sounds like a death trap
So beautiful!! What an awesome project and memory for you both. You are right... Life is short. You moved me to tears 😘
The pallets we have here in New Zealand are not treated. They rot and don't last long. I noticed someone in the comments built a structure that lasted 8 years. That's awesome👍
This is by FAR the best thing I've seen on TH-cam yet! The men in my family (great-grandfather, grandfather and father) were all carpenters and watching you gentlemen build brought back many fond memories, thank you for bringing this to a younger generation who might not otherwise really see the craft and the art form in creating with your hands. Peace! 👍
Then you should be a carpenter, too, no?
@@nancycoleman330 I wish I had that skill set but alas I don't 😢 but I'm a mom who can wallpaper and put together Ikea furniture.. That should count for something, lol
Hearing that bit slip hundreds of times in the Phillips head screws, just makes me thankful that I live in Canada where we have the square drive screws (Robertson)!
That's a lot of work, but pretty cool to get a little cabin out of some work and some free pallet wood! Enjoy!
I love 'Square-Drive' screws. BUT - one major drawback is trying to remove them once they have been painted over. Phillips are a little more forgiving.
I loved working with my dad growing up. I learned so much from him. He would love this idea. How awesome! I would love to have a home like this!
“I am off to the office, dad is coming with me” 😉👨🏼🦳🧔🏽🌲🍻. Well done you two, really hope you never tell anyone where it is, and enjoy the crap out of it .... 👏🏽🖖🏽👏🏽 This the Webster’s definition of “Doing what you can with what you have”.😓 time I never had with my dad.
:O
As a father i am verry glad i watched this. Well done.
I'm so glad I watched this video. I had time this morning and was wondering if I could build a small cabin in my plot to keep the tools, instead of buying a ready-made one. I found it so inspiring to watch you, for not only was it useful but emotionally fulfilling to recover the sense of individual capacity to solve problems. So great! Thanks a lot.
Im so glad I came across this video even if it did bring tears to my eyes. I never got the chance to build anything like this with my father and my children didn't get the chance to build something with their father because he passed away in 2019 but I'm determined for my kids and I to build a little cabin for my grandsons and for me to have my own little piece of paradise to relax and do my crafting projects in. You two are definitely blessed 🤗
Now this is quality content that I want to see
So sorry about your dad. I'm sure this video means that much more now. Cheers to you for spending quality time with him. You are right, life is short.
I think you may be confused, his Dad hasn’t passed away, he’s still alive and going strong.
I WATCHED THE ENTIRE VIDEO. IT WAS A VERY GOOD, UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE TO WATCH YOU GUYS BUILD AND RE-USE YOUR RESOURCES. I'M GONNA SHOW THIS TO MY GRANDSON SO HE CAN LEARN THAT MATERIALS ARE NOT UNLIMITED AND SHOULD BE REUSED WHENEVER POSSIBLE. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME.
I can't stop watching this. I am building a shed with my parents. it is these simple moments that give so much pleasure.
I’m sorry I’m seeing this so late but, this is an excellent video. I wasn’t going to watch the whole video at first but, what got me hooked was it looked like a guy and his dad doing a project together. Some of my best memories are doing projects with my dad. Btw, that’s about a million dollar cabin out here in Ca. LOL ! Great job.
Love the boxes and jars full of rusty bent nails. These guys don't waste anything and I like that a lot. Would have been cool if the cabin was big enough for two beds.
.
Koel
That's what I would like it a little bigger so they both can stay their.
@Jesus My Savior excellent idea!!!
I agree, I thought it was a pity it was only big enough for one.
My sincere compliments. I wish my Dad was still around so we could do a project like this together. I especially liked the fact that it was silent. You let your skills speak for themselves.
Theyve never spoken even to this day..just building an empire
I really love this. I am over 50 and single. I want to do one of these on my own. Hardly any money after this pandemic. Was looking for something I can build with little to no funds.. Thank u for this video.. love the fact that their was no talking.
I really loved this film. It is so inspiring, I also collect many pallets and make projects with. It was so nice to watch father and son work together on this project.
sadly my father died over 20 years ago....but I like to think he still stands by me when I work.
How could anybody dislike this video? Amazing guys, absolutely love it.
I built a 10' X 12' pallet cabin and lived in it for 8 years and I had nearly everything a person might desire, I saved a ton of money and learned that possessions can be a bigger burden than a blessing. freedom can mean having less!
@@miadawson4852 your comment is exciting and encouraging. God bless you Mia.
its such a great feelings to finish the project, with free materials etc. and spent time with the help of father, and a great time for short visit to relax in that cabin. memories you've always remember. its fun to watch bec. I love outdoor activities too.
Love the stove -- my favourite kind of projects ... making things from recycled wood ... I could do it daily ❤️
I enjoyed the video very much... almost got emotional at the end when you explained why you built it.
OUTSTANDING.
Thought I'd watch this for about 5 minutes max like other YT stuff and skip to something else but did the whole film! It was great
When you realize your time is short with the ones you love this means everything.
I LOVE WATCHING THESE 2... THEY REALLY BREAK IT DOWN 4 YOU LIKE HANDS ON TRAINING... I CAN WAIT TO GET STARTED ON MINE!! THANKX A MILL YOU GUYZ!!!🤘🤘🤘🥰🥰🥰
I'm going to ask my dad to do a project like this, we haven't done any sort of bonding activities in a long time. A project like this would be great
so great his dad is there helping. they seem like very good people! beautiful cabin too!
I think it's the son helping the Dad... 😉
Nice job. Hope it lasts in your climate. All of that raw wood in contact with the ground would rot quickly in the southeastern U.S..
Hi
Truly men at work. Hours and hours of building, sawing and constructing. Not one word exchanged during whole process. XD
I now he will never forget this , and will learn to pass it on to his kids in the future, love it hats off , my dad wasn't that close , we were a big family and times were hard. But the things I learn from watching him I have passed on to my kids, love this video . Alfred NYC/PR
Awesome video so cool glad to see you both spending time together..
This video makes me think back to time with my dad. If he were alive today, this would be a project that I could have seen he and I building. He always use to say that he wanted a small camp house in the woods where only two people knew where it was. Those people would have been the two of us. I'm glad to see somebody else that has a friendship with his dad like I did. What I wouldn't give to have moments like that again.
Absolutely @Chris Hopkins!! Absolutely!!
@@jmantruthseeker, sadly time is something I cant have back with him due to him passing away 14 years ago.
The best video on TH-cam ever. I absolutely love this. From the camera work to the build. But more than that seeing you and your father build this and spend time together. Priceless. Amazing video
Very great video. Every single second is enjoying. No words, only the sounds of building. No big machines, only the tools everybody has at home. And I love all the creative ideas both have. A very cute and cozy hideaway they have build…
Working with your dad is awesome.. Living the good and best life..
The networks could learn so much from you. No talking, just riveting teamwork and communication. Enjoyed every moment of this video and learned some things.
Thank you.
Exactly! This documentary is so much better than 90% of the pretentious docs which win awards.
Now I know the meaning of RUGGED! 💪
Great job guys! 🔨🏠
More dads like you and the world would have better men! 🏆Blessings.✨
Yeah.. Is this father and son working together? If so its beautiful. I always wish my father was still alive to do this sort of activities.. :( At least i have a daughter and she seems to be very creative and stuff :) Hopefully we can do some cool projects..
Oh my God you guys did a beautiful job
Simply, just so beautiful and poignant. Reminded me of a time when people did things together. They use to call it, 'living' 😔
I love this - so inspiring. I loved the Guiness hanging shelf and the hanging outdoor grill (would like to see that set up) - the perfect saw horse and how crazy was that start of the rope wrapping twirling - so cool - the burning stump was so clever (just gotta be careful it doesn't travel underground if a dry summer), I seemed to guess what was coming next but was waiting for the outhouse - where is that? a mirror ? lol but I guess just to check you are still there. All of it amazing and with your dad (lost my when I was 9yo). Thank you.
The best part is at the end.. The picket fence idea was brilliant.. Am I the only one who wished they had a couple cans of expanding insulation foam, A little goes along ways..
Oscar Mayer a little does go a long way! I want saw somebody spray it underneath their enclosed iron bathtub not knowing how much they were spraying in there and how it expands and they actually cracked their bathtub! I was shocked because I was young and it was a seemingly new product to me and they thought they were insulating something we're animals were going into and they use so much that there was no space for it to go and apparently there were no holes from animals. it was shot in underneath it fast and it was so fast that when it expanded the bathtub just shattered a solid iron bathtub! I have much respect for the expanding foam LOL
Old man has great working hands. Hope to be like that one day
Place is looking great ! Take care of that back Jeff . Thanks for all you do Hannah 😎👍
The real true meaning of being a man. Glad God created them. YouGuys are very talented. Gifted ppl. Glad u all shared this video... ❤❤❤
That was off the hook.... Quite honestly I never watch videos of this length in their entirety..... But I was amazingly intrigued by the ingenuity, expedience and resourcefulness displayed...Specifically like the recycling of items, the construction of saw horses using tree limbs, the mud pencil, a measuring device made out of a tree branch....
Great video guys.... If the SHTF and we were reduced to live in "primitive" conditions, we would do well by having friends like you!!
Thanks for sharing....
Straighten rusted nail bring back a lot of childhood memories. My Kuya(big brother) and me built our bahay-bahayan(playhouse) in our looban(wooded backyard) with empty nail crate and yes those straigten rusted nail. Our sore thumb always sports small round blood cloth. I think every month we always repair our shack because of the termites, lol. I even built a pup tent made of large plastic sheet(now its called super shelter, lol and this was late 1960 early 1970) with ridgeline made of 2inches x 10feet cast iron pipe and a candle for a light. This how we play back then.
Love watching you pre drill every hole for nails, as to not split the wood with the dullness.
Wow!! This is brilliant!! I'd love to have a little cozy cabin like this!
Way back in the day many pallets were still made of oak. We would have a man come get them from where I worked and he even offered money but we just gave them to him. one day he invited us over to his place to see what he did with those pallets. he had made the most beautiful oak furniture from old patterns new patterns. most of the pieces you would have thought had come from somebody's well-to-do grandparents! he made the most beautiful furniture dressers cabinets as in China closets with glass! he collected old windows and Incorporated them into the furniture stained glass you name it he made it! he was an incredible woodworker. he made dovetail drawers. everything was done the old fashion way and these pieces of furniture we're going to last a lifetime and be passed down. he let us all choose something. There were three of us. he had made some things with pine also. Oak pallets are hard to find these days. but they were heavy so I always knew to separate them for him. I like the fact that he could use the cheaper ones too. It's just that they have a lot more flaws. And a lot of them are just soft wood not even as good as Pine. but I certainly will never forget what that man did with pallets.💜🐸
Gomez l Addams thank you for this story 🙂
Natalie Douglas WOW that's great,never thought anyone would see it. It is one of my favorite memories about a person nobody knew.But made not necessarily nice assumptions about their life or the way they live. I never judged him. He was quiet and didn't really speak he just simply asked for the pallets and one day after many years we got to find out what he did with them. he was an older man and he had learned the trade from his father and grandfather. Who had a very rough tragic life. But they still manage to teach their son and Grandson this talent and he kept it going no matter what. I knew he was a good person but it was nice to see the talent that He had. I was in awe of his work. I'm wondering if he could still be alive I sure would like to find him. If I would have been smarter back then I would have tried to help him sell the furniture he had so much piled up. if we only knew. This hindsight thing is starting to get to me a little bit. or I could have just said you're welcome. I just can't seem to help it.💜🌏🌍🌎
Thank you 4 the story.
Rl Badger 💜🐸
Rl Badger like I said above I didn't think anybody would even see it. I'm not well right now and I'm kind of blind so I use voice to text. And it sure does mess up a lot I get teased. I really wish I could do a better job at telling his story I used to be a fairly articulate writer. I'm trying to figure out how much older he was than myself. he wore the same clothes always and he looked very dirty but his house was well kept very simple. I know a couple of people that I did bring to him paid quite a few thousand dollars for the pieces that they got and I'm talking like the 1980s so he got paid well for those I don't know about the rest there was so much I don't even think he was telling people about his talent I would have liked to have had like a showing! where he could sell off stuff. I almost think he was afraid of losing it because the pallets were disappearing and he put so much time into each piece I don't think he used one Electric Tool I think he did everything by hand there was no electricity out there! Except for the light fixture above but I think he did most of his work in the daytime anyone out about once a month and got pallets at least for us. But we were also more willing to hang on to him for him. I also helped him with his animals I think that's why he let us come get furniture. it's amazing how some people are so talented and never get known and some people are not that talented to become so famous. I'm quite Melancholy today so the story is making me feel sad exclamation point along with the rest of everything else. take care💜🐸
I’ve never seen so much coffee and tea made in my life awesomeness made me smile from beginning to end
Oh my goodness I am gonna watch this over and over so I can build me a tiny house
