    Hello my dear friends!🙋‍♂
    After one year of work, I finally finished the walls of the log cabin!🥳🙏
    In the next episode, I will be building a roof structure from round logs as well. There is still a lot of work to be done and I am very excited to share it with you!

We always see progress somehow and hear his movements when chopping, shaving, or moving wood lol.

    Anybody that builds a log cabin with this method, I’m instantly subscribing. As a house builder with 40 years experience, I understand, appreciate & marvel at the skill and artistry these cabin builds require. Your video title says no experience, but you can’t see this done somewhere and copy. It takes hands on attempts, failing, correcting many times and understanding, which translates to experience. Most regular folk would be frighted to touch any of the tools you used and cared for. All that said, it was a pleasure to watch and you are a remarkable, hardworking and very accomplished builder and content creator. Thank you for sharing.🔥🔥❤️💯

    I just watched a full length movie of a man making a cabin by hand with no talking or music. And it was riveting. Even though you were doing the same stuff the whole time, the different camera angles and focuses on different steps of the same process as well as the cuts of you cooking kept it interesting throughout. I learned so much about building a log cabin. Best of luck to you with this project!

    I loved watching this. It is so peaceful!!! I grew up in the woods and my sisters and I would play outside all day dreaming of how we would build a cabin. We cut down a couple trees, but safe to say we never did finish it. The reason why is because the axe we were using was dad’s favorite and we found that out after we had started!!! So we put it back where we found it, because we didn’t want to hurt it!!!! I admire you for committing to what you were doing and finishing it!!!

    Hello Matt! What a wonderful cabin project! You're doing what I never did, and I admire it! I enjoy the process and dedication you have toward your cabin goal. I also find it hilarious that often there are edited inserts of insects, birds, and animals in your videos. It reminds me greatly of the 1970s television show, The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams. However their inserts were stock footage. I don't think you're using stock footage at all! Oh, to be young and healthy again like you. Keep up the good work, and I'm enjoying the process immensely!
