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. ❤️
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.
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!
@@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 😶
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 .
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!!
“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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
❤️ 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
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
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. 💕
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
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.
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!
Love the build. If you want something to help hold in heat but still see the boards some clear plastic can help. Also a fan at the peak blowing the heat back down. The tar paper and shingles will hold quite a bit in.
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 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
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.
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 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.
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.
Great choice i built a 2 story off grid mini cabin 8x10 ft. You must use propane heat in such a small cabin, wood stoves take too much space. Im using a wall mounted unvented heater and ive used this same small heater in 2 other cabins ive built and never ever had any issues with it. Mine has 3 ceramic plates and I finally metal sided this cabin and huge difference in heating and with the stupid mice, no mice since the metal siding was put on.
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 one awesome thing about your propane stove is you don't have to keep burning wood or stoking the coals instant heat. Once the battens are installed the tiny home willb tight. One precaution though I would get a CO2 detector cause you are using propane to heat with. Other than that another OUTSTANDING job. Look forward to more. GOD BLESS BE SAFE STAY WARM AND HEALTHY. JIM
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.
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...
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.
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
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?
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…
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 🤔👍👍
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.
It looks awesome and love that you gonna have s good indoor heat source. You could use your door space as a place to hang jacket and put a small shelf at bottom to set your boots.
