We are selling our own handmade cutting boards!! Buy one here: www.grankvist-outdoors.com My girlfriend and I hand-craft these cutting boards ourselves in the log cabin. We can only make a few at a time, so you have to be first to buy one when a batch is released. Our first batch is signed by hand with its own unique number, representing how every cutting board is unique. They are made from hard nordic oak, making them extremely durable, holding up for a lifetime of abuse. Instead of having a plastic cutting board that really should be thrown away after 2 years. I was told that my dream of selling handmade products wouldn’t work in today's world where everything is mass produced. I want to prove them wrong. My goal is to expand into other handmade products, making a series of lifetime quality handmade goods. Breaking free from mass production, supporting our environment.
@@edhlavaty6914Unfortunately we don't sell to USA, yet. We are working on getting the shipping cost down 👍 Hopefully you can buy one soon. I recommend following our instagram @grankvist-outdoors or signing up to our news letter, there we will announce it!
I so badly wanted to grab one of your cutting boards! then realised also that you aren't shipping outside of EU yet. I'm over in Australia and will definitely be ordering one the moment you are shipping overseas. Your craftmanship is top notch, and you can tell you have a passion for what you do!👌Looking forward to more videos. 😁
I watch these types of videos to fall asleep. You know, building something from nothing in the middle of the forest type videos.... except when this guy's videos are on. No matter how many times I see them, I'm just amazed.... and now, on top of doing this all by yourself, in the middle of the forest, somehow you made time to meet a girl, too? Dang, dude, you really are talented! ❤😊
Well before the world went insane, we just called it a man. Today extremely many people are clueless, hell my own nephew he dont even have a driving license, he had a moped once and i am sure he would not be able to point to the spark plug on it. Every time someone in the family need something done say in relation to moving, well i am the guy they call, other than that i dont think i exist to them.
@@pliashmuldba The world is not becoming crazy on its own, many strange things are needed to control society (for the social programming of large human masses)... I won’t continue further, otherwise they will ban this UA-cam channel for me, which of course is a private company, and also a blatant propaganda US CIA machine, and the owner of the dollar... Sorry, but I saw an attempt to break out of information slavery, and could not resist. Greetings from Russia...
Большое спасибо за ваш труд Эрик. Ваши ролики помогают забыть о всех проблемах и насладиться прекрасной природой и вашим невероятным мастерством. С уважение из России. Желаю вам добра и счастья!
I've watched Eric grow. I've watched his cabin grow. All the time his planning in meticulous detail, his patience in putting his plans to work, his skill with a wide range of tools, especially the axes, is a sheer joy to behold. Hes a credit to his parents, his country , and above all to himself. Young lady do not let him go! I look forward to more .
Funny thing is that having these skills were not _that_ uncommon back in the day here in Scandinavia. My father and grandfather before him where both doing most of these things too. Our family still got, and uses, the log cabbins that they built for us in the woodland mountains in the southern norwegian inlands. The off-grid lifestyle is something else, I tell you!
I see that many people are bothered by the higher price of Eric cutting boards. Yes, the price is higher, but you have to understand that you are buying this board with the fact that you want to support Erik and his girlfriend. It's like a donation, and the board is Erik's thank you for being part of his community. In addition, these cutting boards really have added value because Erik and his girlfriend made them themselves, which also takes some time and patience. So, in my opinion, the price is absolutely right, and the product will find its buyer.👍
And its handmade, of course its going to cost more! You're paying for the time put in to make them and they're made to last (aslong as you care for it) I'd really like to buy one but I already made a big purchase this month, if theres any left in a few weeks I'll buy one, or wait until they release more stuff. We need smaller business and people to support them, instead of cheaping out on mass produced products
I have never been envious of another mans life untill now. Living in the woods making everything with your own hands. Crafting/selling you own stuff and having the company of a gorgeous woman who even woodworks!? Those cutting boards look awesome, I'm going to get one to support!
I'm excited to see him expand the cabin to include a bedroom and bathroom. You can picture this becoming a family cabin that your grand children will fight over when you die.
The ratio of talk over activity is a wonder to behold. Absorbing, mesmerising, inspirational and beautiful. A man of few onscreen words but a thousand talents.I could watch all day.
Природа потрясающая, такое место силы, мне очень нравятся люди которые что то умеют делать сами , молодой парень а столько знаний и опыта, наверное в семье всему научили, столько терпения надо и силы воли и характера чтоб достигать своей цели, сколько силы трудов, но он молодец! Классный мужик пусть у него всё получается, ладиться в планах и замыслах😉дай бог ему здоровья! Тяжёлый физический труд все таки, любви, благополучия в семье 😊
I am of a similar age to you, however I went down the steel fabrication route instead of woodworking. I appreciate you for making these videos because they can inspire more creatively minded young people to become skilled craftsmen instead of going down the college/university route by default, setting them up for a boring career they will dread. Your videos promote pride in work and high quality without corner cutting, which we need more of. Thankyou Erik
Wherever you got the idea that going down the college route will lead to a boring career of dread needs to be quashed. There are millions of us out there in every country in the world that did just that and are perfectly content making well into six figures and still getting to enjoy fun hobbies like this or sports without being exhausted after work. Glad you're happy in your career, but certainly don't feel sorry for us, bc we are doing absolutely fine.
@jhgolf25 Sorry, I didn't quite word it right. I have nothing against traditional college/University, for certain jobs like law or medical it's absolutely necessary. I just mean that there are many people (like myself) that don't fit the mould for college or uni however go through it anyway because they didn't know they could do an apprenticeship for example
@@lukedeehan2011 Nobody told you that you could take up a trade before or after you graduated high school?? You never saw one episode of this old house growing up? I was very aware of all the options that were available and I still chose college. We aren't all doctors and lawyers either. Many of us make really good money in many different professions and enjoy what we do. Just do what you like to do and don't compare yourself to others like they should have made the same decision as you and if they don't they are going to regret it. We can all be happy regardless of what career path we choose.
Ya don't think ya might be being just a tad bit 🤏🏽overly judgemental and opinionated here@@jhgolf25 ??? Naw?, maybe just an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bit? Because you sure have gotten your panties up in a bunch over a completely mundane, innocent comment that wasnt directed at or towards any one set of persons or individuals. I sense an awfully lot of proverbial butthurt going on there and im at a loss as too why you were so triggered and felt the need to full out defend "us" (as you so labeled yourself/selves) by such a benign, non confrontational statement?? Some kind of weird childhood trauma or something youve got going on there or something young lady? "Daddy" issues maybe? Because your "reaction" is pretty over the top for such a nice comment. 🤏🏽 🙄😣😖☹️
These videos make me so happy. As someone stuck living in a city for now, you are living my dream. I can’t even imagine how much I’d have to pay to learn the things you’re doing if I relied on classes and teachers. I envy you so much! Keep up the amazing work. I am absolutely stunned at how many talents and skills you’ve acquired and grown over the years, and the cinematography on top of it all to capture everything perfectly! Your videos leave me in awe!
I remember I said years ago, that you were going to be a Legend. You are truly a real craftsman, and inspiration to millions of people Erik. Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing.
Woow, what a story! A young man with big dreams started to build his own house by using only hand tools in the middle of the beautiful nature in Sweden. Always with the saying "nothing is impossible over time" which his wise grandfather told him once, in his head. Day by day he kept on working and the years went by. And here he is now, sitting in his own build cabin, with a wonderful girl by his side and a good dog. All the best for you both, so happy you found each other! Thank you so much for your inspiring work and videos, God bless you!
Truely an amazing fireplace. You are a craftsman, Erik. The best part of the video? The end...when the 2 of you hugged. You're doing everything right. Thank you for your effort. Good luck to you both.
I love and appreciate your effort to hand craft chopping boards that have your signature. Is the price inclusive of shipping costs. Would love to support your work and show the world how precious it is to buy from the creator himself. Don't listen to naysayers believe in yourself and keep going. Behind you in whichever way we can support. Regards, From Kenya
My Brother, Thank you for your videos, I am convalescing due to illness at home for several weeks waiting to recover, return to work and hunt in the Woods. Your videos give me a lot of Peace and help me heal.
@@heatherread5314 he has just under 1,5 million followers. I think it could be good money. He also sells his merch. And his family can probably help him too.
So good to see another update! The cabin looks so beautiful. Lucky man to have a woman that's not only beautiful but is in touch with nature as much as you are. You seem to make a wonderful couple. Hopefully soon you will be able to ship to USA. I have a friend that would love one of those cutting boards. Wishing you both all the best in life Erik!
YUP......Erik has grown up before our eyes.....from 18 to now 3 years later......fantastic construction of the log cabin....i like the innovative cement mixer, great idea....thanks for all your hard work....⚒⚒🪚🪚
Erik still has me in awe over his building skills. Apparently, there is nothing he cannot do, and he does it very well. Using perforated steel sheet to support the masonry chimney hood is a brilliant idea. Putting his GF to work finishing cutting boards is another. Well done, as always!
Nice to see you include your lady in the recent uploads. She adds a lot of intrigue to the story. Also good comic relief watching the 2 of you interact. Your videos are always a "drop everything, Erik has uploaded" event in my household. ❤
Hola,a pesar que sigo tus videos desde el día uno que empezaste a construir la cabaña,es la primera vez que te escribo; debo felicitarte te quedó hermosa, el paisaje,la nieve, la piedra,la madera el combo perfecto para un cálido ambiente hogareño,y el agregado de hierro que le hiciste a la cocina de leña ,(o estufa,no se como le llaman por allí)me encantó!! Hermoso video!! Te mando un abrazo fuerte desde Uruguay 🇺🇾❤❤😘😘💪👋
I really love how you put stones around the chimney to not disturb the colors of nature around. Your videos are incredible as always! Every time you post i jump on it!
But are they gonna stick to it and stay in place or will they fall off and damage the roof? I like the look, too, but I don't know if it's the best idea tbh. But I'm not a builder, so (I hope) he knows better than I do.
Erik, thank you for posting your videos they were as enjoyable as they were educational. You've created something amazing with little more than your bare hands and the strength of your back. No matter how labor intensive each aspect of the project was, you never cut corners. I can't decide which part I like the most, it all came out so well from the cold storage basement, the mini smoke house, and of course the stone chimney. The location alone is amazing, and your cabin blends beautifully into it's surroundings. You must be very proud of yourself, and I hope it provides you with A lifetime of enjoyment. I look forward to your next project, until then thanks again from Jimi in Boston.🍺
Great work Erik as usual, you and Shawn James are the two best on you tube but I think you have the edge simply because Shawn was already a time served fabricator and adapted his skills to wood working where as you started this build straight from school as an 18yr old. I have followed you since the first stone of the foundation and enjoyed every episode of the journey. By the way your girl is a good worker, she is definitely a keeper and my regards to your Grandfather who taught you well.
Your ingenuity is incredible: i.e. the tarp tent for working in any weather! Stole my heart with the images of your faithful dog. Happy you have found someone to share you life. She is obviously not afraid of work or "living rough." Although one would hardly call your beautiful home "rough", now that it is completed and just adding some finishing touches. Really look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing your interesting life.
Glad to see another video! I have watched your build from the beginning, I cannot believe your attention to detail and skills...and at such a young age. Hope you can add a few more videos. Thank you. :)
A hunter, carpenter, welder, was able to craft or make a furnace, man ur a true Minecraft real life player. Been watching your videos since you build ur cabin
Once again your craftsmanship and hard work are on full display and leave a lasting impression. In fact I can’t remember ever seeing a harder worker than yourself, and to be as skilled at so many things especially considering your age is extremely rare. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Well done!
Super talented, excellent workmanship, I can't stress enough that you need to fix that flat stone on top of the chimney down , the wind will dislodge it after time 👍👍👍👍
Chimney looks great! Bitter sweet to know the cabin is nearing its completion. Also, I loved seeing your girl get the gloves on and jump in to assist. Teamwork makes the dream work!
The shear weight of that fireplace and chimney is incredible, one brick or stone at a time, your engineering skills for these projects are off the charts my friend, love following along, from Michigan
hey erik you should make a video about the economical side of living off grid;for example how much the land cost ,all the materials and food you used and also the taxes you pay. it could be interesting
En plus de la cheminée, les belles planches à découper, c’est du travail d’artisan c’est vraiment remarquable! Heureusement d'une main secourable pour être aider dans son labeur! Merci pour le partage vraiment rêveur. 😉👍🛖🪵
Tjäna granne! I just binged all your videos from start to finish in a couple of days. Huge respect, I appreciate not adding any music nor narration on your videos, just pure skill and amazing cinematography with nature as ambient. Love from Finland!
Man I've been watching your content for a while now and I just had to write a comment at this point. I know we don't know each other but still I'm so proud of ya. There's many things in your lifestyle that I couldn't do but I have zero doubts that you are the right person for this. The fact that you built everything so perfectly and even found love while doing so is simply amazing. Love you buddy, please never stop uploading! :D
I can't believe the comments talking about unsubscribing to him for flashing the name of a company that supports him. Heaven forbid I mean these must really be serious ludites to get offended over that.
Excellent. It's a noble path you're on. I'm sure your ancestors are with you, providing you with divine energy, and dwelling in pride that you've rejected the destructive spirits and practices of the modern world in favor of the creative and productive spirits that make people whole. And you're living very much like they did; learning to do, then doing. Hail the doers.
Two things... Nice to see Erik laughing and happy... Also.. I used to pick blackberries with my Brindle Mountain Cur dog.. Brad Lee Bear... He has been gone almost 7 years now... It did my heart good to see you two doing that...
What an impressive man, Erik is and he does so many different tasks, all excellently too. CONGRATS! Stay safe, be well. I wish you great health, prosperity and happiness Erik, now and always.
Great video. Welding tip: NEVER lay your bare arm on the grounded work piece. If there is even the tinyest hole in your glove or you have sweat through it (salt water) when you touch the hot end it is all over. Looks like you are way too far in the woods to get help and you will be found with a burned patch on the arm that touches the ground plate and still clutching the stinger but sadly dead. Please be careful in future projects.
What a fantastic place! Really beautiful little house and lovely land and scenery around you. Erick, you are a really talented man with a big vision. Both of you -- loved the video. Thank you and take care, Kevin - Australia.
Great work once again Eric. You’ve got quite the skills for crafting and fabricating these structures, you are very interesting to watch, so thanks for sharing! Love the cutting boards by the way 😊
Erik, I really enjoy watching your hard work. You an awesome guy and very knowledgeable and capable. Thanks be to God! Thank you for doing something worthwhile and just amazing. May God bless you more. If you’re not a man of faith, I pray you won’t remain that way. I respect your craftsmanship, a gift indeed.😊
Been with you from the beginning Erik. Every video, every skill is matchless and perfect. Aside from moving the original logs, this project had to be some of the toughest moving materials yet! Your girlfriend was of great help along this project for sure. When the cutting boards are available here in the States, I will of course purchase one absolutely..Take good care of each other and hope to see you both soon.. Skål!!
You may want to put some loose stones in that gap between the stone cap and the footing of your chimney top. That open space will become home to bird nests rather quickly and then they'll catch fire. Around here, we'd be required to install steel mesh as a deterrent and spark arrestor.
Literally crying with joy for you, as I've watched your journey from the beginning and I always look forward to your videos. Your an inspirational human and I wish you all the blessings you deserve 🤍 happy fall equinox from the UK. Much love.
Wow! Everything you make is built for eternety or at least ages. Thank you for letting us watch this. To watch your movies is nothing more than feeling peace and relaxation. Thank you and your girlfriend.
W pełni się z Tobą zgadzam, odnośnie ręcznie wykonywanych przedmiotów. Robicie wspaniałą pracę, która przynosi tylko pozytywną energię🥰Pozdrawiam Was serdecznie z Polski👋🌲🌞
Hard work and an amazing result. Especially liked the stonework on the chimney outside. Surprised you didn't make room for a witches seat . Can't be too careful out in the woods! 😁
The fireplace/ chimney build is the finished piece to this amazing cabin . The cutting boards as well look great , not to mention supper looked pretty tasty!🙌🙌
So nice to see you again. I watched when you first started this lovely cabin ... You are a man of many skills. All the best to you. Your puppy has grown up so much. He is very pretty and so calm. The cutting board is outstanding! Beautiful. Great veggies. Wow those are some big stones! So pretty how you have placed them. Great work!!! Wow that looks amazing, great team work. Your line of products are amazing. All the best to you.

Fully agree with your sentiment on handmade quality products. I'm a woodworker myself but not many people are going to spend £188 on a chopping board.

YUP......Erik has grown up before our eyes.....from 18 to now 3 years later......fantastic construction of the log cabin....i like the innovative cement mixer, great idea....thanks for all your hard work....⚒⚒🪚🪚
Erik still has me in awe over his building skills. Apparently, there is nothing he cannot do, and he does it very well. Using perforated steel sheet to support the masonry chimney hood is a brilliant idea. Putting his GF to work finishing cutting boards is another. Well done, as always!
Nice to see you include your lady in the recent uploads. She adds a lot of intrigue to the story. Also good comic relief watching the 2 of you interact. Your videos are always a "drop everything, Erik has uploaded" event in my household. ❤
This comment is funny.
I'm so excited to see you have a girlfriend , it's nice to have someone in your life.
@@SandraiAtchisonno girl friends are trash
That's why you got divorce alot
It's problem in EU and West
Specially Spain Portugal
Девушке очень повезло, редко встретишь таких мужчин! 😊
Парень на все руки мастер,я поражена 👏👍
Hola,a pesar que sigo tus videos desde el día uno que empezaste a construir la cabaña,es la primera vez que te escribo; debo felicitarte te quedó hermosa, el paisaje,la nieve, la piedra,la madera el combo perfecto para un cálido ambiente hogareño,y el agregado de hierro que le hiciste a la cocina de leña ,(o estufa,no se como le llaman por allí)me encantó!! Hermoso video!! Te mando un abrazo fuerte desde Uruguay 🇺🇾❤❤😘😘💪👋
I really love how you put stones around the chimney to not disturb the colors of nature around.
Your videos are incredible as always! Every time you post i jump on it!
But are they gonna stick to it and stay in place or will they fall off and damage the roof? I like the look, too, but I don't know if it's the best idea tbh. But I'm not a builder, so (I hope) he knows better than I do.
I think that the stone surface also protects the root of the pipe from the rain.
По то орюомллрмюлмрм😂😂😂😂😂😂
Erik, thank you for posting your videos they were as enjoyable as they were educational. You've created something amazing with little more than your bare hands and the strength of your back. No matter how labor intensive each aspect of the project was, you never cut corners. I can't decide which part I like the most, it all came out so well from the cold storage basement, the mini smoke house, and of course the stone chimney. The location alone is amazing, and your cabin blends beautifully into it's surroundings. You must be very proud of yourself, and I hope it provides you with A lifetime of enjoyment. I look forward to your next project, until then thanks again from Jimi in Boston.🍺
It is so peaceful to watch your videos. I have never seen anything like your work. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Моё восхищение, Вам, Эрик, вашему трудолюбию и терпению можно позавидовать, вы большой молодец. Привет из России👋
Great work Erik as usual, you and Shawn James are the two best on you tube but I think you have the edge simply because Shawn was already a time served fabricator and adapted his skills to wood working where as you started this build straight from school as an 18yr old. I have followed you since the first stone of the foundation and enjoyed every episode of the journey. By the way your girl is a good worker, she is definitely a keeper and my regards to your Grandfather who taught you well.
Exactly! Erik and Shawn, best two youtubers and not only for building cabins.
I love this style of editing! No music, no talking! You can tell such great stories without speaking one word!
Вы, уже в таком возрасте, большой профессионал и талантлевый мастер! Ремесленик! Я приятно удивлена!👍🤝♥️
Your ingenuity is incredible: i.e. the tarp tent for working in any weather! Stole my heart with the images of your faithful dog. Happy you have found someone to share you life. She is obviously not afraid of work or "living rough." Although one would hardly call your beautiful home "rough", now that it is completed and just adding some finishing touches. Really look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing your interesting life.
Glad to see another video! I have watched your build from the beginning, I cannot believe your attention to detail and skills...and at such a young age. Hope you can add a few more videos. Thank you. :)
One of the best Projekts on UA-cam 😍
A hunter, carpenter, welder, was able to craft or make a furnace, man ur a true Minecraft real life player.
Been watching your videos since you build ur cabin
Once again your craftsmanship and hard work are on full display and leave a lasting impression. In fact I can’t remember ever seeing a harder worker than yourself, and to be as skilled at so many things especially considering your age is extremely rare. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Well done!
I am in awe of your skills young man! What a gorgeous cabin you have made! How did you learn to do all this?! Incredible!!
I cannot wait for the end of year video... these are genuinely some of the most relaxing and zen experiences.
I can’t believe I have that cutting board handmade it’s so heavy is nice I love it
Awesome to hear that you love your cutting board. Take care of it and it will serve you a lifetime!
Super talented, excellent workmanship, I can't stress enough that you need to fix that flat stone on top of the chimney down , the wind will dislodge it after time 👍👍👍👍
Chimney looks great! Bitter sweet to know the cabin is nearing its completion. Also, I loved seeing your girl get the gloves on and jump in to assist. Teamwork makes the dream work!
The cutting boards are so beautiful! And so is your life.
The shear weight of that fireplace and chimney is incredible, one brick or stone at a time, your engineering skills for these projects are off the charts my friend, love following along, from Michigan
well Grankvist is Granquist in swedish , so i want to get 1 one these cutting boards for each of my grown sons . i love them .
hey erik you should make a video about the economical side of living off grid;for example how much the land cost ,all the materials and food you used and also the taxes you pay.
it could be interesting
Yeah, that would not be the most boring video of everything he has made. Totally.
i dont think he lives offgrid, this what he does on is free time i belive. a getaway cabin
he said in a swedish video that this is on his family property so he pays nothing.
Wish I had the money to buy a cutting board these are so nice and the amount of soul you two put into them is unmatched.
En plus de la cheminée, les belles planches à découper, c’est du travail d’artisan c’est vraiment remarquable! Heureusement d'une main secourable pour être aider dans son labeur! Merci pour le partage vraiment rêveur. 😉👍🛖🪵
Tjäna granne! I just binged all your videos from start to finish in a couple of days. Huge respect, I appreciate not adding any music nor narration on your videos, just pure skill and amazing cinematography with nature as ambient. Love from Finland!
As always,you both get the job done with perfection and patience. Congratulations on your new chimney!!!
Man I've been watching your content for a while now and I just had to write a comment at this point. I know we don't know each other but still I'm so proud of ya. There's many things in your lifestyle that I couldn't do but I have zero doubts that you are the right person for this. The fact that you built everything so perfectly and even found love while doing so is simply amazing. Love you buddy, please never stop uploading! :D
Я видел много профессионалов но! такого молодого с таким знанием и умением вижу в первые, прям как-то вундеркинд, респект!!!.
Love your videos man! So cool how to make this all by yourself without heavy machinery!
Wow I’m blown away at how skilled you are!! I can’t stop watching!!
I can't believe the comments talking about unsubscribing to him for flashing the name of a company that supports him. Heaven forbid I mean these must really be serious ludites to get offended over that.
man i love your videos, i watch them so i can learn and one day build my own cabin
Yes
Glad to find this new posting,always enjoy watching and learning
So good to see you again Eric. You're an inspiration ✨
It's a pleasure to see working with that taste and affection, I wish you the best, a hug from Spain
great job, it's a pity that you disappear for a long time
Yes it is. It takes too long for me unfortunately to make a video.
Quality over Quantity
Excellent. It's a noble path you're on. I'm sure your ancestors are with you, providing you with divine energy, and dwelling in pride that you've rejected the destructive spirits and practices of the modern world in favor of the creative and productive spirits that make people whole. And you're living very much like they did; learning to do, then doing. Hail the doers.
That dog is living his absolute best life. Pure bliss lol
Two things... Nice to see Erik laughing and happy... Also.. I used to pick blackberries with my Brindle Mountain Cur dog.. Brad Lee Bear... He has been gone almost 7 years now... It did my heart good to see you two doing that...
Omg Erik you appeared on yes theory .wow your amazing
What an impressive man, Erik is and he does so many different tasks, all excellently too. CONGRATS!
Stay safe, be well. I wish you great health, prosperity and happiness Erik, now and always.
Great video. Welding tip: NEVER lay your bare arm on the grounded work piece. If there is even the tinyest hole in your glove or you have sweat through it (salt water) when you touch the hot end it is all over. Looks like you are way too far in the woods to get help and you will be found with a burned patch on the arm that touches the ground plate and still clutching the stinger but sadly dead. Please be careful in future projects.
Nice fireplace. I’ve been cleaning and repairing them for 30 years and that’s water tight and very well insulated.
What a fantastic place! Really beautiful little house and lovely land and scenery around you. Erick, you are a really talented man with a big vision. Both of you -- loved the video. Thank you and take care, Kevin - Australia.
So young and so talented! Wow! ❤❤❤
Beautiful chiminey Erik! Love your work…..
Talk about being free. And going at your steam. Awesome job. And those cutting boards hand made from scratch. 👍
Great work once again Eric. You’ve got quite the skills for crafting and fabricating these structures, you are very interesting to watch, so thanks for sharing!
Love the cutting boards by the way 😊
Erik, I really enjoy watching your hard work. You an awesome guy and very knowledgeable and capable. Thanks be to God! Thank you for doing something worthwhile and just amazing. May God bless you more. If you’re not a man of faith, I pray you won’t remain that way. I respect your craftsmanship, a gift indeed.😊
Love seeing your progress. Looks absolutely fantastic.🌲🌲
What beautiful work the cabin is just amazing.
23:58 is the sort of wholesome image you find on the top of a very expensive brand of biscuit tin. Such a joy!
Been with you from the beginning Erik. Every video, every skill is matchless and perfect. Aside from moving the original logs, this project had to be some of the toughest moving materials yet! Your girlfriend was of great help along this project for sure. When the cutting boards are available here in the States, I will of course purchase one absolutely..Take good care of each other and hope to see you both soon.. Skål!!
That chimney is a ton heavier than necessary, but it sure looks nice. Cool job.
You may want to put some loose stones in that gap between the stone cap and the footing of your chimney top. That open space will become home to bird nests rather quickly and then they'll catch fire. Around here, we'd be required to install steel mesh as a deterrent and spark arrestor.
The chimney build was will worth the wait.
Literally crying with joy for you, as I've watched your journey from the beginning and I always look forward to your videos. Your an inspirational human and I wish you all the blessings you deserve 🤍 happy fall equinox from the UK. Much love.
Wow! Everything you make is built for eternety or at least ages. Thank you for letting us watch this. To watch your movies is nothing more than feeling peace and relaxation. Thank you and your girlfriend.
I love your butcher blocks also I love your video clips
W pełni się z Tobą zgadzam, odnośnie ręcznie wykonywanych przedmiotów. Robicie wspaniałą pracę, która przynosi tylko pozytywną energię🥰Pozdrawiam Was serdecznie z Polski👋🌲🌞
Excellent work! Well done to you both.👏😊
You sir are a true craftsman! Your skill know no limits!
Hard work and an amazing result. Especially liked the stonework on the chimney outside. Surprised you didn't make room for a witches seat . Can't be too careful out in the woods! 😁
Witches seats aren't a part of Swedish tradition.
@@MotbilderI know. It was just a bit of fun.
OMG, that chimney is beautiful, a work of art, you are a master at anything you do, there's no doubt at all.
Привет. Обожаю смотреть твои видео. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Молодец! Терпеливый и настойчивый!
The fireplace/ chimney build is the finished piece to this amazing cabin . The cutting boards as well look great , not to mention supper looked pretty tasty!🙌🙌
looks perfect!
So nice to see you again. I watched when you first started this lovely cabin ... You are a man of many skills. All the best to you. Your puppy has grown up so much. He is very pretty and so calm. The cutting board is outstanding! Beautiful. Great veggies. Wow those are some big stones! So pretty how you have placed them. Great work!!! Wow that looks amazing, great team work. Your line of products are amazing. All the best to you.
