  • in this video I build a small off grid cabin in the woods. I try to keep it a cheep and simple project yet make it as nice as possible . I finish the cabin off with some nice wood working, beautiful tongue and groove pine cut from logs I had . install the perfect little wood stove , and even use some live edge for trim .top it all off with a breakfast cooked on the wood stove makes this a very relaxing a satisfying video

    Alright, it's time to admit that "watching Whipples build cabins" is one of my favorite hobbies. Super excited to have another channel to watch along with Brooke's and Dave's! Similar great vibes and inspirations here; thank you for sharing your building process and insights. I'm planning to build my first tiny cabin this summer, and these videos are gonna get me through it. Please update later with details on how that aluminum sheeting holds up under the floor insulation. Cheers to willing and working a dream into reality!

    Great job my friend! Tho I'm a musician by trade, I always loved working with wood. In my early 50's I built a studio and a shop mostly by myself and then when I retired to the Mts of NC I built a smaller version by my house at age 74. Tho smaller, it still took a year because I had slowed down a bit lol! But I love building and the reflection time it affords. I think a lot of us who are creative are loners to some extent. All of my buildings were designed as I built them. Love your design by the way and the use of the live edge boards is beautiful. Also love the hinged ladder. New sub.

      I know I wish I could get more pine like that . I think a lot of the character came from having the logs lay by red pine logs that had those bottles in them and they got into the white pine logs

    I just wish I had the expertise, land and money to build something like this. I just like to watch these videos and imagine how awesome it would be to have something like this.
    The loft and swivel ladder is an amazing design...Much respect brother!

And make wheeled trolleys. But I wish someone would make a cabin for me lol in my dreams no doubt lol.
