Building A Log Cabin | Ep. 66 | Table and Chairs! | 5-year Anniversary | 2023 BLOOPERS

- Опубліковано 22 гру 2023
- In our last episode of 2023, we carry up a couple old chairs and refurbish them. We also build a table from scratch using 2x6 pine for the top and 2x4 cedar for the legs. We stain and varnish the top, and get to use our table for the first time by celebrating our anniversary with a chocolate fondue. Santa also visited the cabin and gave us our plaque recognizing our 100,000 subscribers, so we install it in the cabin! We finish the video with our bloopers from 2023, so stick to the end if you want some good laughs!
Welcome to our channel! This Log Cabin Project is a dream that we have had for several years that we finally decided to make a reality. Our goal is to build a tiny log cabin from scratch using as much material from our land as possible. We are building it entirely using hand tools (no chainsaw!). This cabin will function fully off-grid and will be only accessible by foot. Subscribe to follow our journey!
We are learning a lot as we are doing (as always), so don't hesitate if you have any questions, it will be a pleasure to share tips and tricks, if possible.
My husband and I have been married this coming June 2024 for 20 years (together for 22). As two people whom are in a great relationship I want to share with you both one secret and you already do it. You make each other laugh, you laugh together and you laugh at each other. The cabin looks fantastic and being able to watch this journey has been rewarding to me. Will continue watching and good luck in this journey you are taking together; I can already see success.
That fact that they carry out their relationship openly + in public on YT says a lot to me about the kind of relationship they want to foster + nourish. It’s beautiful to watch them naturally + honestly work through the things they are trying to accomplish individually, but also as part of being in a relationship. Yes… laughing + having fun is all part of it… that + broken bones too. 😌♥️🌟❄️🇨🇦
Wow, thank you for sharing! 22 years is amazing and definitely an inspiration :) Glad to know we've got some of that secret ingredient!
I love hearing you guys laugh! You are always so serious.
Ребята , вы - супер! Все, что вы делаете , и́ как вы это делаете - прекрасно! Смотрю вас из Херсона, и́з-под российских бомб и снарядов. Вы помогаете нам жить! Среди разрушенных домов и смертей вы - сама жизнь, доброта и свет!
You turned a cabin into a home together. Good work!
Thank you! :)
I appreciate your sensitivity towards not wanting to cut down a live tree. Your thoughtfulness towards preserving nature and avoiding the cutting of trees deserves applause. Environmental consciousness is a crucial aspect for the sustainability of our planet. I hope this mindset becomes more widespread, and natural resources are used more consciously.
Really enjoy and really impressed with your
workmanship.

100%! Sustainability should be a priority :)
Молодцы желаю много счастья пусть мечты сбудутся❤🇳🇱
The first thing that attracted me was , " actions speak louder than words", i love the serenity that you both create😊
Thanks Mark! We agree, and we're glad that you and others appreciate our style!
I enjoyed the bloopers. You two are always so serious it is nice to see you laughing.
Ahh glad you liked them :)
In your bloopers you showered us a side of you that we haven't seen in before. thanks for another episode in your lives. Happy Holidays.
I love your channel always but I so enjoyed the bloopers. You are normally so serious, it was quite the treat to see the laughter. 😁
Glad you liked them :)
I got a laugh out of your bloopers...good to see you smiling and laughing...you two are always so serious.. Merry Christmas.
Glad you enjoyed them :) You're not the only one who's happy to see another side of us ;) Happy 2024, hope it's filled with love and happiness !
Congratulations on 5 years together, and for 100K subs! The table and chairs look great. You two do so much together, and create so much together, you should be very proud of all you've accomplished. Many couples don't do much together for various reasons. You guys keep doing and laughing together, and you will always be happy and have something to be proud of. Thank you for posting these videos... you are teaching the rest of us important life skills, whether you realize it or not. Please, keep up the great work... and the great example. Oh yeah, gigglepussy is a new one on me... 😅
Thank you so much for your kind words :') They warmed our heart on this cold day we're having here! Hope you'll have a great 2024 :)
Congratulations and Merry Christmas! We look forward to every one of your videos!
Thanks for sharing the bloopers. It’s good to see you laughing and not so serious.
Merry Christmas to both of you
Hope you had a good Christmas :)
I have been following you from the beginning of your Chanel. I enjoyed your Bloopers more than any prior presentation. Your usually Dry Engineering approach , was so much improved by the Spontaneity seen in them. I like you as a couple more than ever now!
Glad you enjoyed it! A lot of people have been asking to see more behind the scenes!
Congratulations on the 100,000. It's always a treat to watch you. Nice chairs.
Thanks so much!
Hallo Nick and Maela. My name is Ben and i am from the Netherlands. I love watching your video’s. Your cabin is great and also the place where you build it. I love your winters there with all the snow. I wish you beautiful Christmas and a happy and healthy 2024. Greetings from the Neterlands( Friesland, village Dokkum)
Hi Ben! Cool to know our videos reached the Netherlands ;) It's been on our travel list for a while now ! Hope you had a good Holiday season and we wish you a great 2024 :)
Hello Nick and Maela. nice to receive a message from you. I am very curious to see how things are going there in Canada in your fantastic beautiful log cabin. still winter? Here in Holland we hardly have winters anymore. but I understood that you still had on your bucket list to visit Holland. then definitely come to the province of Friesland. I hope to hear from you. Kind regards from the Netherlands.

As soon as you put that last black pipe fitting on your table, I knew exactly what you were about to make. I did the same thing in my bathroom. Used the same fittings and end cap too.
Great minds think alike!
Hello you both, the video was very funny and I had a lot of fun. I wish you continued fun, a merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year!
Thanks :) glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year to you too!
Congratulations on 100,000 Subscribers. 😊
Thank you! :)
What a beautiful, cozy home you have built for yourselves. Have loved watching your creative process and progress as you tackle new aspects of your build. Your ingenuity is awesome!! Your bloopers are so charming and lovely to watch, too. Thank you for sharing them. Merry Christmas and may 2024 be even Better for both of you. Lots of love being sent your way.💜👏🎄🎉🕉
Congratulations! Merry Christmas and enjoy your cabin you both built together 🎄👍🏼
You guys are my hero's, like for real. You've done something I only dream about.
Wow thank you! We're sure you could do it too if you set your mind to it ;)
Table and chairs are a perfect fit for your space. It's great to see you getting so comfy and at home after so much work. Have a great Christmas!
Merry Christmas you two I absolutely love your channel and your closeness, God Bless you both 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too :)
Congratulations surpassing 100,000 subscribers, you’ve certainly come a long way since we first met you in a forest and told us you were going to build a cabin with no power tools!
Ahaha we certainly did! We didn't know where it would lead us, but it was a great adventure!
Have a Wonderful Christmas and a most joyful New Year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Loved the Bloopers
Glad you liked them :) Happy 2024!
Beautiful. Blend right into the walls. Same color. You guys make it all so pretty

You guys are amazing
Congratulations and happy anniversary to you both. Have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed new year!!! 🎉🎉 God bless you both. ❤

Same to you!
I usually don't care for slow-moving self production. But for some reason I really enjoyed watching you guys re finish the wood chair. Great work.! You are an inspiration to the self doers and off the grid. What a fine life you have.
Wow, thanks :) it means a lot !
I have no idea how I came across your channel. UA-cam is definitely to blame for this. And to be honest, I'm glad about it. You are wonderful. Congratulations on your first silver button. And good luck to you in your endeavors!
This happened to me too - pretty darn good Christmas present from UA-cam don't you think?
Well, that's very kind of both of you :) Thanks for your support! Happy New Year
The table and chairs look great, another really good build well done :) The bloopers were so funny it is so hard when you get the giggles everything makes you laugh. Really enjoyed watching you and congratulation son your silver play button. Have a great holiday see you next year x
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed our bloopers, they make us laugh too 😂
Maela you are so cute. Loved the bloopers. Merry Christmas to you and Happy Anniversary. Your home is looking so cozy. I was just wondering if you ever make a mistake and now I know you do. But your building is precise. I can't wait to see more in 2024.
Well thank you very much :) and yes, we make a lot of mistakes, but they're definitely part of the adventure!
Merry Christmas Nick and Maela! Love all you have done to make a beautiful cabin in the woods where you can enjoy all the good things that life has to offer!
I have enjoyed watching you too you too are a very humble cuppul I look forward to seeing more into next year if GOD says the same blessings to you 🙏👍😊
I remember earlier you guys had somewhere near 20k subs, incredible you got to 100k so quickly. Good for you two. Next is the gold 1,000,000 plaque 💪
Sounds unattainable, but so did 100k, so I guess we'll just hope for the best ;) Thanks for your support, we see you commenting on every video and we really appreciate it!
I have so enjoyed watching you two craft your perfectly imperfect world. Everything you do has a touch to it and the love that goes into each creation shows. The table is beautiful and the chairs go with it well! What a joy it is to watch you two on Sunday afternoon with coffee. You so deserve the 100k plaque!! Great to see you two having fun with the bloopers. Merry Christmas you two!!! ❤❤
Thank you so much! Hope you had an amazing Christmas and we wish you a happy and blessed 2024 :)

Congratulations on your UA-cam award. The completion of the table and chairs makes a great place to have your meals together. I like watching you both use the old hand tools. I used my Dad's many years ago and it's great to see the skills that you have carry on with your generation. Love your cabin and everything you have created to make it a home. Peace Love Happiness 💕
Thank you so much :) We absolutely adore hand tools! They last so much longer and we don't have to deal with recharging them every time we used them ;)
Bonjour joyeux Noël passé de bonnes fêtes de fin d'année et félicitations pour les 100,000 ❤
Merci, Jerome :) J'espère que ta période des fêtes s'est bien passée!
Loved the bloopers...love keeping it real! Cabin is awesome. Been watching when you first began, and am loving the content. I look forward to each video. Your off grid life is different from others and very unique. Watching you 2 gives me hope for our future! ❤
Thanks so much for your kind words :) it means a lot!
Great video as usual but a couple of suggestions on the table build: plane the edges of the boards, spread the glue evenly on the edges before placing them together, and use 3 clamps for that size job. That’s all the suggestions from the old geezer. I have followed your channel for over a year now and look forward to each episode. You are a bright and talented young couple that are very admirable in your work ethic and lifestyle. I wish the best for you in the new year.
Thanks for the recommendation! We'll have to do that for the next table, if this one doesn't hold itself! Hope you had a great holiday season and we wish you a happy 2024 :)
Love your Christmas tree 🎄 great videos Merry Christmas and a happy new year ❤
Thanks! Same to you :)
very good
The bloopers are cute in a way ...! Have a safe leap over to 2024 and I am sure I will continue watching your videos in the next year and in the following ones! Take care and be well, til then and greetings from Germany from the silver fox, David 😉💜🦊
Thanks for following along David!!

Thank you :) Happy Holidays!!
Love it!! Maybe you should leave some of the bloopers in there as it makes for some fun videos!! Also Congrats on 100k subs and the plaque!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both also !!! Thanks you
Noted! You're not the only one asking for less serious videos ;) We hope you had a nice holiday season and we wish you a happy 2024 :)
Maela and Nick, it is a true gift that YOU share with us your journey. You guys are true craftsmen. Thank You for allowing us to be the bug on a wall.
I sit here watching and am just amazed at your talent. You are giving me some great ideas for my off grid in Oklahoma.
Thank You and may God continue to bless you as you share your adventures.
Congratulations and merry Christmas! I’ve been watching from the start. You have an amazing cabin in an amazing place and your hand craftsmanship is impeccable:)
Thank you so much!
I'm from Northwestern Ontario, now living in South America. I love to see the bush and the snow(as I'm sitting in my shirts and tshirt). Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks :) Is the winter the reason why you moved? ;)
Part of the reason. We love the laid back life here.
🤣😔 Your bloopers had me laughing into a snort. Too too funny. Y’all have done an amazing job creating a place of peace and seclusion..
I look forward to continued adventures in 2024. Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. Blessings
Glad you liked them! We found them funny, but it was a gamble to know if people would too ;) Happy 2024, we wish you health and happiness for the new year :)
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and congratulations for you 5th anniversary. Finally I saw "the other side of you both". The funny side, the laughing side. When building the cabin you are very professional, barely talking to each other, no smiling. Now I know it is just the way the video is edited. Love you guys and hope to see more videos next year.
yeah, it's why we decided to includes the bloopers ahah too many people asking us if we ever even talk to each others behind the scenes ;)
Sois unos fenómenos, un abrazo, ¡¡¡Feliz Navidad!!! desde Madrid, España
Just watched your 2023 bloopers and they add a wonderful dimension to your adventure. It’s so gratifying to see that y’all ( yep, I’m from S.C.) are having such a blast making the videos. Youth is wonderful, don’t waste a minute of it.
Glad you enjoyed the bloopers ! And you are absolutely right, time flies and you only realize it once it's gone ahaha
Hello Nick and Maëla! Following the construction of your Dream here in the South of Brazil, Thank you for sharing and Congratulations on the 100,000 Subscriber Plaque, here's to 1 million!

Merry Christmas guys. You run a very entertaining channel, I can hardly believe you have been posting this long! Very nice dining set and really fun video.
Thanks, Dave :) you've been with us for a while now! Thank you for your support :)
Congratulations on your 100,000 viewers! I’m so happy for you. And thank you for another year of such pleasure watching you too build your cabin, and all your furniture using only hand tools. Your table and chairs came out very nice. Also, it was so much fun seeing your bloopers, he gave us a chance to see your fun, entertaining and funny off video personalities.
And I would like to wish you too happy holidays.

Bravo pour vos succès, c'est très mérité, vous travaillez tellement fort.
Merci beaucoup :)
Thanks for sharing your adventures. Happy holidays and good luck in the New Year.
Sorry to repeat, But Congratulations on the 100K, And Your 5th Anniversary. Hope you two stay together for a lifetime. Your program has been so great to watch. We've spent 45 yrs. building our dream home in the woods. But I did it with power tools & Not off grid. Mostly with no big machinery & a little help from family. There were many set backs & times I wanted to throw my hands in the air & quit. But we hung in there & made a beautiful home together. The sad part is we had no children & No one to leave it to when we're gone. Hope your luckier than us. Thank You for the hours of pleasure of watching & sharing the two of you building your dream. With every day a new learning experience. See you in 2024.
Thank you so much! Building a house is always challenging and will always have setbacks, so good on you for sticking through it!
Cute couple in the deep forest!
Happy holidays~! 🎉
You guys are super cute...love the videos and you are building a great cabin. Binged watched and all caught up!! Congrats on the 100K and looking forward to 2024! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Thanks so much!! Glad you are enjoying the videos :) Take care until next time!
