My husband and I so enjoy your videos and rolling thought process. You are delightfully unexpected in creative solutions. We look forward to Saturday mornings. We grab our coffee and breakfast and follow along your task of the week. We love it. Thank you thank you. Who knew a guy off grid would be so calming and entertaining. Till next week………..
Your description of drilling metal was great. Big mistake people make. You really need to modulate your speed and pressure when drilling metal. Chips are good too, depending on the metal you don't always get the "twisty bits." And the oil is like you said for cooling the bit, not for lubricating the cut. People burn up expensive bits by chucking them up, then putting the bit on mild steel and going full speed ahead. The bit never gets a chance to bite and actually CUT like it's made to do. Have to keep in mind that a bit is just a chisel wrapped up and around. I know you're hesitant to give advice but that was a valuable one that many people don't know!
I have been thinking the same for a long time!! It’s surprising he hadn’t even thought of it at all. 10 x 16 minimum (bigger’s better in my books haha) and longitudinal board half way down from the top with 3/4 inch between the boards for ventilation, but it keeps the snow rain out very well.
If you lay a sheet of your new reflectix insulation on the bed between the mattress and the wood, you protect the mattress from sharp edges and add a little warmth
I'm always watching your videos I suffer from a lot Mental illness And I noticed 1 thing about you I was watching the Gazebo screened in porch your making you are so much confident now you look in the camera without looking away Everybody grows
I found your channel on my recommendations about 6 months ago. After binge watching on and off since then, I have to say, You seem to be my kind of people. Good work BTW.
When insulating with foil type materials you can achieve radiant insulative effect by leaving an air gap of about 1" or more between the foil and whatever you are insulating. With no air gap most of your insulative effect is just coming from the air gap in the bubble wrap.
You always seem to come up with some great ideas. After binge watching ALL of your videos from 1 to the end....waiting a week for one more makes me feel like I'm having withdrawals. 🤣🤣🤣 Love the channel. Hope your rib stays where you want it. Your faithful Patreon supporter. 👍❤️🤞😎
I have used the foil backed bubble under my cabin and it works very well. I also have the foam board foil wrapped underneath which I like the best. BONUS. The mice will not chew anything foil wrapped.
Reflective insulation works best against radiate heat loss. So it will work best within a few feet of your heater. Unfortunately your cabin looses most of its heat through conductive heat loss. So your going to be more on the R3 end then the r20. That's better then nothing and simply stopping air flow through the floor cracks with poly would help a ton and that's going to be a bit better then poly.
Here's an 💡 idea to think about for your bed when needed to extend it out. . Think about how a drop leaf table is designed to hold up the leaf. You can still consider the board along the wall but if you don't want legs per se... maybe consider a gate leg on the outer edge since you already have the end legs as support and a drop leaf support design in the middle?
So glad you back and ribs are healing. Rib fractures take a long time. I broke two when I was around 12 and still have the dent in my rib cage at 50. I think you need to mount some oil lanterns outside your cabin. That would be a cool addition.
I have a suggestion to make the fold out part of your beautiful bed even stronger. Screw a 1 inch board to the frame just below the hinge. This will support the extension part and take pressure off the hinge . Great video again! :)
Staple the insulation strips tight to the floor so critters cant nest between. No air gap. Mount a 5 gallon fresh water tank high up over the heater so your guest can freshen up using a 1/4 inch hose and a bucket to sit on.. An outdoor Flag holder on the Cabin would be nice.
Lay the insulation on top of the existing floor and lay (nail) the new floor directly on top of the insulation. Do not cut it and lay it between the joists. Trust me, it works.
Put a hinge at the top of the back support and flip it up above the bed. When you need it, fold it down to the bed for use. When your done, flip it back up and re attach it to the wall.
Great video!You could actually build a board that folds down from your right above your box that you can set your laptop on instead of sitting in on your lap.Have fun,life's short!
Ryan, by all means hang up those cool oil or gas signs. Oh and that bubble foil works great, it's usually about 1/4" thick and doing what you said by folding the edges over and stapling is all you need to keep a warm floor. The mice or critters won't mess with it either. Take Care Brother
It’s touching to hear you care so much on getting the episode on air in time. But greatly appreciated! By the way, my son calls you the chain saw Ubus. Ubus is his name for anybody on UA-cam building stuff.
Gluing those bed boards would really add to their strength. That bubble foil would have been easy to put over the floor rafters before putting the decking on. The rafters will transmit cold through the floor. That bed turned out really cool. I hope she likes it. I can also see her using your spot with all her paints doing those dog pictures. Hope she does read this. Later
Great design on the office part of your bed. Looks like a nice place to relax after a long days work. You could pad the back rest pretty inexpensively. Perhaps a nice tuck and roll pattern? Have a fine day, Ryan!
As for the support when the bed is open: a lengthwise beam support could be placed a few inches inboard which would, A: help stiffen the entire bed and B: support the platform for use. When not in use it could just be stored next to the bedside. Think of a regular beam support system for any deck, only not set on/in footings. 4X6 would be plenty by the length of the platform (ish) as you probably don't need it exact. Again, my 2 cents . . .
Love your video's - I can't wait to watch every Saturday morning - but my beau comes over mid afternoon and we watch together - so now I have to wait until he gets here but i've been known to watch you twice on Saturday cause I can't wait! :) ! Learned so much from you! Just purchased 43 acres in WV to play in my own playground - so maybe I'll try some of your tactics on building. Love that you just figure things out on the fly! I read where Reflectix doesn't have a very good R value - but hey - worth a try.
A bench/box that slides under the head area of the bed for clothing storage and slides out to support the folding bed. One bench/box could go at the end of the bed. Storage, support, and sitting all in one.
I have first hand experience - if a bear (of any kind) wants through that door there will be NO stopping it. I have seen where a commercial, heavy duty reefer door (with the push pad to exit ) was used as a high security door and it didn't EVEN stop a black bear at a friend's cabin in Alaska. Reared back and slammed it's full force from it's two front legs over and over again until the Big 'ole Pooh Bear had shattered and demolished the 6" thick door. The only true way to win a confrontation with a grown bear is to (reluctantly) use a tool described by the 3 words "Rifle, Caliber and Magnum" in the same sentence. For those times where you have to leave to make a town run consider an old Alaskan technique. 3/4" thick 4' x 8' wood or plywood with umpty dozens of 16d nails pounded in it - from the bottom up with the pointy ends ending up. Position it on the porch floor centered on the entrance and on the ground centered on windows.. Pooh knows not to step on those pointy things. Store the "Bear Boards out of the way when you get home. 100% effective especially when horizontally screwed in place over the windows and door(s) for long term protection. For those who think that THEY can reason in any way with any bear - do a web search for "Timothy Treadwell" and learn the cold, hard facts of a bear's job description. Mostly Poohs leave you alone - unless they don't. Joe S, Ak
Hey Ryan, I hope that so continue to feel better. That reflectex insulation is great stuff. You would be amazed at how well it insulates just laying it on the floor joists and laying the floor on top. I have done that with great success. Good Luck with the build!
I think the reflectex works best with two layers separated either by air space or in this case the current flooring. In other words put some on the bottom side as he has planned, then a layer on top as you suggested, before he puts on the final flooring.
Glad to see someone helping others out your generation doesn't really do stuff like that now but I'm glad you guys stepped in to help your neighbor out of a tight spot I was wish america would be like that again but you guys have surprised me I'm shocked my hats off to you and I personally think you guys have payed it forward in everything y'all do around your neighborhood from pulling people out of ditches I really look forward to your videos!❤
My husband suggested you put plastic down under you house on the ground and then put a skirt around the house to keep moisture down. He built our log house several years ago and you can see it on my Facebook page. I just wanted to make this suggestion.
Also, a wall mounted bedside table, at the head of the bed could be used when you're alone and act as a bed support, at the head, when you have company.
HEY, hell of an IDEA, For your legs for the second half of the bed, make a few bedside table/stool bits of furniture to be beside the single bed. Then when you fold out the bed, the table/stool thingy magically becomes your legs for the new massive bed. How's that?
Tape up the bubble wrap super well so it's as airtight as possible. The goal is to seal in the air between the top and bottom of the floor joists. A few inch air pocket has R value. You have to block out the cold air from getting around that bubble wrap! Being airtight can be just as important as insulation!! I believe a sealed pocket of air is roughly R1 per inch.
Hwy Ryan, Love ur show. U remind me of Modern Self Reliance. He makes crazy stuff like u. I bet u would enjoy his work too. I'm not a doctor but I never heard of broken ribs sticking out of your back! Hope they don't heal crooked. Peace.
Between the legs put two shelving boxes. When you pull down second part of bed the shelves would slide out to the same location for full bed and act as support
Attach the bed extension to the wall next to the bed with hinges. Build removable legs. When not being used the extension could be folded up on the wall and secured with a couple of screen door hooks. When your GF comes over attach the legs, fold down the extension and you have a queen sized bed. That way you don't have to lie on the extension part. Just a thought.
Hi mate you might need to put some support under the hinch because all the screws will pop out when you lay on one day sorry 😮 ps love your work and I'm looking forward to your video every week 🎉
2x4 mounted to the wall and when flipped open the bed boards will be supported at the top and at the bottom another hinged that would swing out from being stored against your bed. A leg already attached and always ready. Some place for a recessed cup holder to avoid those spills . Amazing what you come up with. I do hope you are feeling better soon. I thought they wrapped ribs to keep them in place and help with the healing. The insulation is a great idea.. ..
That type of insulation only works good if you have an air gap between it and whatever your wall or floor is. If you really want decent insulation your best bet would be to use polystyrene sheets. It comes in various thicknesses depending on what you want and you can even get some of it with the silver lining on one side for heat reflection.
One thing you might do is build legs in a kinda square u shape. With two of the u shaped hinged so when not in use they fold flat and they store easily. When in use they fold out to make a vee shape so the two legs are spread apart the same as the width of the flip over bed. The narrow end under the center of the bed. One set at the head and foot of the bed and one or two spread out the length of the bed. For those e legs under the main part of the bed some of the small trees or branches of larger trees cut to length about 4 or 5 inches in diameter will look good. One at the foot one half way up, the head end is supported by a 2x on the wall.
It's just my opinion but with all that beautiful hard work you put into building that cabin and everything in it you should have some type of lock on that door!! One should always think of security specially in this day and time!! Even though your way out in the woods!! Put locks on your tools things of importance put security on them and yourself!!
Adding one of them tent fans hanging in the room with a set of rechargeable batteries to keep the air circulating could be a great addition....or one of them magic heat fans.
Looking good man can't wait to see the finish product when everything is plain and stained its gonna look super good .. keep up the good work looking forward to the next video 👍🤙
Hi Ryan, love the evolution of the cabin. I’ve zero building experience but I’m practical - could you make cedar boxes that you could store (clothes) in under the bed and then pull them out and by turning them, they become the correct height to be your pull out bed legs. Or sit on them or use as a table. Not sure if that make sense to anyone else but me 😂. Anyways, thanks for documenting the Worm life always enjoy your videos and creative buildings. Cheers from Brisbane Australia
When you're apply pressure to drill the holes of the hinge don't be afraid to back it with a piece of scrap wood to drill in to. Slow is good with metal, that's almost certainly steel by the way. Surprised you didn't clamp a board on to use as a guide for the router doing that hinge recess. Definitely more of an artist than I am, my free handing would be all squiggly.
Nice job. Maybe two slotted boards on the wall the width of your back board that allow two pins in the top side of board that hook into the slots that allows the board to stop and pull out for back seat but also allows you to just lift the board up to push it back to the wall.
at 35 i started throwing kneepads on with my boots every day. Improved my output noticeably and bought me more years of use
Cut slot in a pool noodle and use it on the bottom of the backrest to protect your matress.
My husband and I so enjoy your videos and rolling thought process. You are delightfully unexpected in creative solutions. We look forward to Saturday mornings.

Perfect cabin for a wonderful wood stove and a nice puppy
Your bed is so creative, I really like it ! Now you need a love seat ! 😊👍💕💕💕
This is my favourite Saturday morning cartoon show
Need to build instead of a car port a wood port so you can store all your cut lumber in so you don't have to use tarps. Keep up the awesome content.
I have been thinking the same for a long time!! It’s surprising he hadn’t even thought of it at all. 10 x 16 minimum (bigger’s better in my books haha) and longitudinal board half way down from the top with 3/4 inch between the boards for ventilation, but it keeps the snow rain out very well.
Thanks for the entertainment. 😊
15:02 I love your comical shots! Thanks for the video.
You must have heard me screaming at the tv to use your router on that hinge 😂
Saturday morning with a cup of coffee and another episode of Ringworm ! Life is good. Thanks for the video Ryan !
67.9K
I hope the outdoor kitchen is next. I'm excited about that project.
If you lay a sheet of your new reflectix insulation on the bed between the mattress and the wood, you protect the mattress from sharp edges and add a little warmth
Be careful of mold
Do a shelf on the wall to catch the fold out bunk?
Now that sounds like a good solution 👍
Morning... Best time to watch a ringworm video. timmins
Very important to have an expandable, flip out bed for Sara.
I love the bed :)
I'm always watching your videos I suffer from a lot Mental illness And I noticed 1 thing about you I was watching the Gazebo screened in porch your making you are so much confident now you look in the camera without looking away Everybody grows
I found your channel on my recommendations about 6 months ago. After binge watching on and off since then, I have to say, You seem to be my kind of people. Good work BTW.
You should put a strip of wood under that hinge, so when it folds out it's sitting on the wood instead of the hinge holding it.
I was thinking same thing. Alot of weight held by a hinge pulling on a few short screws.
"...that my first impulse was not to grab a chain saw...: 😅 Love your cabin! 👍😎🇨🇦
Worm, your work is beyond practical, it's amazing.
For the winter months put square hay bales around the cabin to block the wind it will look ugly but guarantee your floor won’t freeze!!
You are really going to like a floor that is not frozen ! 🙂 Love to watch you think "Out Loud" 🙂
I love the part with finding the best back support angle. Cheers from Copenhagen. Love your videos every week.
I'm from the future. The bubble wrap mylar stuff works GREAT!
Morning Ring world!
Stay warm
When insulating with foil type materials you can achieve radiant insulative effect by leaving an air gap of about 1" or more between the foil and whatever you are insulating. With no air gap most of your insulative effect is just coming from the air gap in the bubble wrap.
With bigger drills always start the hole with a smaller hole as it makes it easier
Great video as usual but I think you need to drill holes in the bed so moisture won't collect🌄
Make pull out boxes to hold bed flip out up . Good storage too.
Genius idea!
We use that insulation on the windows of our camper. Helps a lot.
You always seem to come up with some great ideas. After binge watching ALL of your videos from 1 to the end....waiting a week for one more makes me feel like I'm having withdrawals. 🤣🤣🤣 Love the channel. Hope your rib stays where you want it. Your faithful Patreon supporter. 👍❤️🤞😎

Very Nice work and you inspired me to purchase a Ryobi battery powered router for working on my cabin. Be Safe and Enjoy
Saw log cabin built the guy installed wood shutters on the interior windows opening “pretty cool “
a box fan and a HEPA filter/furnace filter will make a simple "dust extractor" if you have to sand inside.

That bed extention is kind of like thick bush plywood. If it was all dry and glued it would be very strong.
Such an inventor. Great video!

Great audiobook for your listening. Ray Bradbury's Long After Midnight. Some of his greatest
short stories. Love following your antics, kiddo.

You should put a fold down work station, m&m stand, on your right when sitting on your bed. Use a chain to hold it and fold it up when not needed.
Hey Ryan, I hope that so continue to feel better. That reflectex insulation is great stuff. You would be amazed at how well it insulates just laying it on the floor joists and laying the floor on top. I have done that with great success. Good Luck with the build!
I think the reflectex works best with two layers separated either by air space or in this case the current flooring. In other words put some on the bottom side as he has planned, then a layer on top as you suggested, before he puts on the final flooring.

Maybe build some Crate boxes to use as legs to support bed extension? Double duty as storage for your clothing or nightstand, as well as extra seating
Also, a wall mounted bedside table, at the head of the bed could be used when you're alone and act as a bed support, at the head, when you have company.
Some real floor installation would help a lot. The key to that bubble wrap is to tape it well and make it as air tight as possible.
HEY, hell of an IDEA,

Ryan, make a book case the same depth as the height you need from the floor to the underside of the fold out bed. Use it only when you need it.
You could build a bench that could hold the bed when in use and then just be a bench when not.
Hwy Ryan, Love ur show. U remind me of Modern Self Reliance. He makes crazy stuff like u. I bet u would enjoy his work too. I'm not a doctor but I never heard of broken ribs sticking out of your back! Hope they don't heal crooked. Peace.

When your GF comes over attach the legs, fold down the extension and you have a queen sized bed. That way you don't have to lie on the extension part. Just a thought.
Just a thought. I believe if you put some wood glue in the sandwich wood it should strengthen your fold out bed.
Love your videos 👍💙
Hi mate you might need to put some support under the hinch because all the screws will pop out when you lay on one day sorry 😮 ps love your work and I'm looking forward to your video every week 🎉
you know some square bales of hay around youre cabin would change your floor temperature and you could get rid of it in the spring if wanted
Then you get mice 👎🏻
I see ya added a little fan up in the corner. Nice! I bet it helps a lot at keeping the temp more even.
2x4 mounted to the wall and when flipped open the bed boards will be supported at the top and at the bottom another hinged that would swing out from being stored against your bed. A leg already attached and always ready. Some place for a recessed cup holder to avoid those spills . Amazing what you come up with. I do hope you are feeling better soon.

I’m surprised you haven’t got a Ryobi 18 volt chain saw yet! Would be perfect for times like these!
If you create some wooden stools to sit on you can reuse these as feet for you bed. You'll just need to make them on the right hight 😉
More piano hinge projects please.
One thing you might do is build legs in a kinda square u shape. With two of the u shaped hinged so when not in use they fold flat and they store easily.

you might had made it very simple but i like your way of learning by doing it first and then add more additions as your needs
Hello from the Netherlands.
thanks for the video Ryan .
Sincerely Hollandduck
Adding one of them tent fans hanging in the room with a set of rechargeable batteries to keep the air circulating could be a great addition....or one of them magic heat fans.
Looking good man can't wait to see the finish product when everything is plain and stained its gonna look super good .. keep up the good work looking forward to the next video 👍🤙
I'm surprised you don't have a roller coaster built yet. Seems logical to me.
Hi Ryan, love the evolution of the cabin.

you could put some of that foil bubble wrap under your thermarest both to protect it and keep you warm.
When you're apply pressure to drill the holes of the hinge don't be afraid to back it with a piece of scrap wood to drill in to. Slow is good with metal, that's almost certainly steel by the way. Surprised you didn't clamp a board on to use as a guide for the router doing that hinge recess. Definitely more of an artist than I am, my free handing would be all squiggly.
The foot of the bed on the fold out sid3 could be supported by a slide out board that is mounted your bed to offer additional support.
Nice job.
Maybe two slotted boards on the wall the width of your back board that allow two pins in the top side of board that hook into the slots that allows the board to stop and pull out for back seat but also allows you to just lift the board up to push it back to the wall.
