In this video I continue the slow but sure build of my Lord of the Rings inspired Hobbit Hole. I cut down a dead cedar tree with a Husqvarna chainsaw. I use a knock-off Alaskan Chainsaw Mill to make the boards. I mill the boards to size with a 10.25 inch circular saw and shape them with a DeWalt Router and a Bosch jig saw. The boards are fastened to the structure with concrete screws and construction adhesive. Next I install a faux cedar shake roof. The actual roof is concrete and will be waterproofed, then covered with dirt and planted with grass. Finally, I install rigid foam insulation boards using concrete screws and spray foam construction adhesive. Thanks for watching! Feel free to ask any question in the comments.
It is such a pleasure to watch a craftsman! 👍
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch the video!
The build is looking great! I would love to see a video where you go over any major details or tips that you would give to anyone else planning to build one of these. Like things regarding picking a build site, water proofing, etc.
That's a good idea. When I get the exterior done, I'll make video going over the details. Thanks!
This is a refreshing break from the doom and gloom going on in the world. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah! I've been feeling down, too. I'm glad this could cheer you up a bit:-)
@@Odd-Lots Don't worry everything will work out for the best eventually.
Amazing work! This is one of the coolest builds I have ever seen. Love it!
Thanks!
Your attention to detail and craftsmanship are exemplary. That hidden gutter is genius.
Thank you!
This is amazing and the area around the structure is so beautiful. I look forward to future content and updates!
Thanks for checking it out!
Outstanding build. Thanks for sharing. You are a true craftsman in your approach. 👍
Thanks, Mark!
Please give that half circle window a purpose by cutting a hole into the reading nook :)
This is the coolest bunker I have seen, way to go man.
You’re a talented guy!
This is amazing
Thanks!

That was a seriously funny comment. Thanks:-)
Just discovered your channel, really enjoy your videos with coffee in the morning. They are peaceful, relaxing and I’m enjoying watching the progress of the build. Looking forward to your next video
I'm glad you find them relaxing. That is what I was aiming for.
Give the reading nook the half window to see through !!! Cut a hole in the wall !
🫵🏽Your work out there is just awesome through all those Videos! Respect Man and may the Hobbit Spirit be with you and your Familly💪🏽keep goin‘⚔️
Thank you!
Love this series, keep it up!
me too
Thank you:-)
This is a work of art.
That's what I was hoping for. Thank you for the encouragement:-)
Super nice.
Thank you:-)
Very nice build. Your video production is excellent, and I like your music playlist.
Thanks! I get mixed reviews on the music. Some people really, really hate it. I left it out this time because of that.
What a talented person you are.👍🤓🇫🇷
Thank you for the compliment:-)
I was going to have breakfast with my family this morning, but made the decision to abandon them to watch your new video. Totally worth it!
Lol! Okay, now go hang out with them:-)
Could have shared it with them in person.
I love all the work that you've done, I started watching wanting to see how you make the door cause at some point I hope to own a home that has a hobbit door instead of your regular rectangular door. I wait in anticipation.
@@CleverTinkerer Thank you! I'm hoping to build the door sometime this winter.
But what about 2nd breakfast?! Elevensies?! Luncheon?! Afternoon tea?! Dinner?! Supper?!
I could watch this for hours..
Very nice those "fake" wood connections. Greetings from the Netherlands. Always fun watching your hobbit hole.👍
Thanks!
Only 8 mins long.. 😢. Much longer videos in the future please, MUCH longer. 👍👍😉
I'll try and compile a start to finish video once I get the front exterior done. Thanks for checking it out:-)
Very cool. One day I will finish my own. Just poured my foundation and am building the block walls now.
That's so awesome! You should post some videos. I would love to see it!
Posted the first vid a couple years back. It’s just a Timelapse of the dig. Will post again in the coming months.
@@sinjohnw.6608 Nice! I just checked out your video and subscribed. You are a beast!:-)
Thanks my man
I just came across your incredible build and watched a bunch of the videos. Fantastic!
I think it’s very interesting that you’re using a combination of in-the-shop, and on site work, as well as power and hand tools. How do you decide, e.g., brace and bit versus electric drill?
Also, cutting a curve with a 10” circular saw is impressive!
Thanks! Good eye too, the curve was mellow, but I was surprised the larger saw could do it.
Sometimes, I just like using traditional tools. Mostly, I don't have the energy or time to, so I bust out the power tools:-)
Man where is this? It’s beautiful.

I just stumbled across your video. Amazing, and I'm guessing these are your Kids helping :) I couldn't help imagining a few people sitting around that fireplace with a dog curled up in front of it (little slice of heaven)
Thankyou for sharing your dream and process with us..
You're welcome. Thanks so much for checking out the video!
@@Odd-Lots I'll be checking out more..
The insulation boards in where I live have to be glued around the whole perometer to avoid air currents being able to form between them and the house. Also the boards have to be glued to each other. But we have -30C winters sometimes, and I doubt you will have those :)
Wow! That's cold! A very cold day here would be -8C, and those are rare. But yes, all of the seams get sealed here as well:-)
A dream come true.
I hope! I'm still a little nervous about getting the finished product to look authentic.
i just love this project and i know and fully understand that it takes a lot of work and a great deal of hours and you're fitting it in where you can but i still want a video at least every week so here's an idea when u record a video maybe break it up into a couple parts so say if you have 3 small portions u are creating on the project put out a video of 2 of the three now u have one in the "can" so to speak then when u record another video release the 3rd small project just before u film the new one and do the same thing so while u are editing and in pre production we are watching a video and then in a few days u release the next one again keeping part of it behind and then releasing that as u did the last see easy and long story short; i wont start biting someone else's finger nail since mine are now all gone LOL... SERIOUSLY YOU ARE DOING GREAT THUMBS UP IVE SUBSCRIBED AND RANG THE BELL IM A FAN THANK YOU
Thanks for the input! I would love to do a video every week but just can't, unfortunately. Usually, I save up the footage and then edit it in small pieces after everyone is in bed. Even doing it that way, and making 1 video a month spreads me a little thin. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!
After milling such nice boards from that tree, will it shrink when the wood dries out more? You put the boards right into place and it looks like a pretty tight fit, but I am assuming that moisture content is fairly high still.
Yes, they will warp, shrink, and twist a bit. But rains 9 to 10 months of the year here, so I doubt they will ever fully dry out. Eventually, they will rot and have to be replaced.
Where in the US are you building this? It looks great so far! 👍
Thanks! The Pacific Northwest.
I stumbled onto your channel and have since watched all of your videos. Buddy it looks to me like your building it to code if there is a hobbit building code, excellent. I'm retired and have a project using a concrete block and cobblestone facer on going. I use a similar method of finishing the mortored joints. I got a kick out of what you said about the cost of things to your wife, I can relate. Setting tarps up to keep working,ya. Do you have a Big freeze coming? I'll be looking forward to the door build aren't routers a wonderful tool.Keep up the good work!!
Routers are amazing, I agree! We don't get big freezes here. Mostly we get lots of rain and wind. Occasionally, we get some snow or an ice storm. I'm glad you have a project! I've found that having a side project is an immensely better way to spend my spare time over watching tv.
Looking forward to the next installment@@Odd-Lots
A Hobbit den made of concrete blocks...
how did you get the texture on those thick boards , was it with chainsaw ? this is all absolutely epic , really really cool project 😀👍👍👍👍. Edit - i just noticed the grinder steel brush attatchmeent for the wood effect i asked about 👍
Yep, that's it!
Controversial thought ... make the fake half window USABLE by cutting through the brick !!!!!
What was the elastomeric coating you used for the gutters? I have hidden box gutters on a 97 year old house in Virginia that need to be resealed. I've had trouble finding something that's UV rated for more than just a year or two.
The product I used is not UV rated as it will be buried soon. Lanco Ultra Siliconizer might work for your application, though.
@@Odd-Lots Oh man, that might be just the thing I need! Thanks!
😮😮😮😮😮🔥💪🏻
Awesome work. How are you going to route the water away from the chimney.
Thanks! The gutter is going to be filled with rock, covered in water permeable fabric, buried in dirt, and planted with grass. I'm hoping most of the water will slowly percolate through this and then just dribble out down the fireplace. The idea being that moss and small ferns can grow on the fireplace side and have a water source. It may end up being a total fail. We'll see.
@@Odd-Lots my whole life I had only ever seen standard trough gutter and downspout, but recently found a heritage building that used a rain-chain that utilises surface tension to channel water along the chain.. if you find more runoff than your planted trough can handle, it may fit with your aesthetic. I absolutely love what youve got going on here, your workmanship quality is next level
@@robmcqueen4482 Good idea! Thanks for the comment.
Why the fireplace outside? Are you enclosing that area?
I'm planning on building a small stone patio there and using it as a place to hang out in the summer.
@@Odd-Lots oh, nice. good job
Can anyone elaborate on why the fireplace opens to the outside? I have my theories, but does anyone KNOW the reason?
Because it's just going to be a hangout place for my family. I thought it would be fun to sit out there and have some drinks in the evening:-)
Pretty sure the guy could AirBnB this at $2000 a night when it's done...
Why did you build the fireplace on the outside?
I'm going to build a small stone patio in front of it. I thought it would be a relaxing place to hang out on summer evenings. There will be a fireplace inside as well.
Где-то голод и война, а где-то здоровый мужик не знает куда деть свободное время и деньги. Ну, хорошо, что не наркоман. )))
6:27 I don't get it. Why would you do this?
The roof is going to be buried in soil and seeded with grass. Most of the soil roof will slope away from the front gable. I wanted an exit for what little water does saturate that front gable soil, though. Only a little water should trickle out on heavy rain days. I'm hoping it will feed moss and ferns that I'm going to plant on the side of the fireplace. It might be a total fail. We'll see:-)
@@Odd-Lots I'm just your average joe, so i could be completely wrong. You're going to want to seal the walls with a sealant where the water touch, and could potentially touch. Make the ground where the water falls slightly slope away from your building and foundation; If it doesn't slope, put a drain there.
@@igot2remember Yes! You 100 percent correct.
You might friend are a psycho 😃 I’ve watched every video. If you put as much time,effort and love into your family as you do this project,there’s definitely a place in Heaven for you 👋🏻😎
Thanks for following along:-) I try, but most definitely fail hard at times.
That gutter down pipe totally insufficient size 😢
I'm burying the roof and sloping 85% of the grade to the sides and back. The majority of the water will not be draining out of that pipe. It will be more than adequate at that point. Thanks for checking out the video:-)
@@Odd-Lots ohh amazing I had no idea!! Love the videos, can’t wait to see its progress
@@CaleMessner Thanks! Any constructive input is appreciated:-)
@@Odd-Lots you do great work mate!! Can’t wait for long format videos too!
@@CaleMessner Thanks!
