This Log Cabin Project is a dream that we have had for several years that we finally decided to make a reality. We have spent the past 2.5 years building this cabin from scratch and our goal has been to use only hand tools, no power tools. All of the logs were harvested from our property. This cabin will function fully off-grid and will be only accessible by foot. The cabin is finally in a state that we can live in, so we moved in and live here full time! There is still tons of work to be done on the cabin and on our property, so be sure to subscribe to follow our journey!

Well guys. I’m from the U.K., I’m 60 years old and I’ve just sat and watched this 2.5hr building marathon and couldn’t stop watching. You both should be extremely proud of what you’ve achieved here. Even your parents and families should be proud too. Nobody since a long era ago have built houses with hand tools. I admire you both for your stamina and the duration this build must have taken. Give yourselves a big pat on the back. I look forward to seeing the day you hear the laughter of children too, enjoying the fruits of your hard labour. Well done again guys

I could not agree more. I was a roofer most my life and I was a carpenter for a while, but just a stick framer. I didn't even do the Punch-Out work. As a Master Carpenter you're doing precise stuff that requires craftsmanship and taking carpentry to an artistic level. Not just throwing a bunch of 2x4's together like me when I was framing. You know what you're talkin about my grandfather was a master carpenter too. So I know exactly what those two words entail. You're an master of your craft and an artisan and artist. Not just a construction worker.

My wife and I watch this together I've watched it twice now. I worked construction most of my life mostly as a roofer. But I have framed Carried hod, laid brick poured foundations, done a little bit of everything. I am really really impressed with the job you guys did as a team together. You did it the old school way. I am 55 and I remember having to hand nail no pneumatic nailers. But you guys did it the way the Pioneers would have done it. I know strong grown men that would have been whining and complaining the whole time. You have a beautiful home now. And those wonderful memories to always share together. A couple that can survive doing that together, you all will be able to survive whatever this world throws at you. Well-done, I tip my hat to you both.100%

@@funtyes1970 of course I'm not saying that they would most definitely use power tools if they had them back then anything to make the job easier I'm just saying it's cool the way they did it the old school way a lot of extra work a lot of extra time it was just calling unique I know when the church Notre Dame burned down over there in France they said that that was three generations of Masons and Carpenters that built that grandfather father and son worked on that church and the Craftsman don't exist today that can do that kind of Woodworking and masonry work because they were talking about restoring it but now there's no doubt if the people that founded this country add power tools they would most definitely be using them because time is money and anytime you can make a job easier that's what people are going to do

You are both to be congratulated on your commitment and initiative in building your cabin. I am 77 and have worked with wood in one way or anther for many years. I have spent 2.5 hours of pure enjoyment watching the way you work together, sharing all the various tasks. I commend your tenacity. Obviously you have only shown a section of each task necessary, e.g. cutting down the trees and stripping off the bark, this in itself a major undertaking to provide all the timber necessary. Equally, I commend you on the quality of your videos, which in my opinion is of a professional standard. May you both enjoy many years of life together in this beautiful home that you have created.

I realize this is a little later and I hope that the cabin and you both are doing well. I want to tell you one of my favorite clips is when you are using the drone to take an overhead view of the top of the cabin and your girl is still on the roof. But as you go higher and higher you get a panoramic view of the beautiful colors surrounding your place by the fall leaves. GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU.

I am 54 years old and been in the residential home building and repair for a long time. I respect this build cuz of choice not to use power tools. I don't know what experience you have but you have the smarts and more importantly the will it takes. The roof rafters will wick water through the wood. I hope you cover the cut ends with a good high quality finish since the roof decking and metal do not extend past the cut ends. I'm not trying to pick apart your build just want it to last a long time cuz you put alot into it. The dwelling will be a part of you I hope for life. I applaud the choice of tools especially in a day and age where people like to take short cuts and use power tools .I am sure you will know your home like he back of your hand. Good job.

These two craftsmen have done a job second to none…some of the nicest and most precise building of a log cabin I’ve ever seen. The dedication alone it must have taken is amazing…..I’m just totally in awe of what they’ve done…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It's great to see this young couple working together without the need for arguing or raised voices. I really love that they have chosen to build their home in the woods with hand tools. it the old fashioned way without the use of modern power tools. It will certainly take longer to complete, but the satisfaction they get will last a lifetime. In today's world we have the habit of always searching for the easier/faster/newer tools and technologies, but these two have chosen to honor the ethics of hard work and self-reliance, instead. This experience will strengthen their character and give them the confidence to face whatever lies ahead.

Fantastic build. I am in my late 60es and used a lot of those hand tools with my dad when i was young. As time progressed, he got power tools, but I still enjoyed working with some of those hand tools even into my later years. Really nice job. Take care all.

My apologies if this was already mentioned, I scanned through some comments and didnt notice it. First off, amazing job, you both should be so proud! I just have a couple tips if you ever make a future cabin to save you a little headache. First, fantastic choice using roxul...not only great insulation, but the fire and sound protection is awesome....plus the fact that stuffing it hard doesnt lose R value like pink does. A small tip for you though.....when you are setting your logs, place a layer of roxul between them. It will eliminate any gaps, and the insulation bonus as opposed to stuffing the joint afterwards will honestly shock you. The only other tip / thing to say...and I could be completely wrong as video didnt show it all that well....always be sure to stagger your joints, especially with osb / plywood. Having it lined up is a massive weak spot that will cause cracking and other issues. This goes for studs, drywall, plywood etc....you never want to line up 1 large joint. Fantastic Job regardless, enjoy your cabin!!

these hand made cabins are the most beautiful, one can see the actual physical labour put into them. The second hand windows are money and labour savers, good idea. I appreciate your dedication and determination, but there is nothing more rewarding than, when you look around, you can say with great satisfaction: we have done it. I know the feeling.

The story of a Canadian couple building their dream home with hand tools is incredibly inspiring. It represents a return to craftsmanship and a connection with nature. The fact that it's a tiny log cabin in the forest adds a touch of rustic charm and a deep appreciation for sustainable living. This video is likely to captivate viewers who are interested in off-grid living, minimalism, and the idea of creating a dream home through hard work and dedication.

Nick & Maela, I have to say I have watched a lot of off-grid cabin builds to get ideas for my build and I have to say this is by far one of the best videos I have seen to date! I found it interesting using an interlocking post and beam style build and with basic hand tools! There are also a lot of couples out there doing these types of builds and you two really grabbed my attention! I don't care where in the world you are, but if we had more young couples like you two supporting each other to build something you both can be proud of and cherish for decades to come, this world would be a better place! I say that sincerely! The teamwork is beyond words and super proud of you two on that fact alone! I'm older and in my mid-50s in Central Ohio USA, and recovering from reconstructive knee surgery so I plan on using modern tools and equipment to assist me, but I have found your videos very insightful with a lot of techniques I plan on incorporating. Thank you for sharing! I'm going to get a small portable sawmill to mill 8 x 8 square posts and 6 x 6, and 4 x 4 posts for the rest and do my joints the same way you two did! Great craftsmanship in my view! You two really did a super fantastic job not just with your cabin build but with your video and editing! Major kudos for being inspiring on many fronts and I wish you two much love, happiness, and good health for decades to come! I look forward to watching more of your awesome videos!

I admire you using hand tools and taking on such an ambitious project. Not many could follow through. I've built a log home for someone as a recording studio here in Connecticut USA. The company was called "Real Log Homes" who produced the logs. I'm surprised you didn't use certain power tools even though you had power in your later videos. I've been binge watching yesterday and today. No one would of faulted you for using screw gun, and other power tools. You did use a sewing machine. Enjoy your home. Thomas Dutkiewicz, USA
