Jesper, you are not only building a cabin, you are also building memories that will stand the test of time. Very precious.
Thank you, Juliet! Building these memories is truly priceless.
@@JesperMakes❤
Everyone talks about the bond between a father and son when making something. It's beautiful to see the bond of a father and daughter growing stronger in this video. Thank you for sharing and inspiring other fathers to strengthen their bond with their daughters.
Thank you! It’s been amazing to strengthen our bond through this project. I hope it inspires others to do the same.
same thoughts as you
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
the bond between fathers and daughters is just as common if not more so as sons. daughters are usually really close to a good father. fathers are more protective of daughters too.
I have 7 children 2 girls 5 boys and it's the bond between a parent and their kids no gender involved
I'm an old woman,but I'm so jealous of your daughter!! What a beautiful experience for her!! My father has been gone since I was a teenager, enjoy this adventure. ❤❤
I first watch your videos because of wood working.
Next i watch because of your story telling.
Now, because of life lessons.
You definitely one of the most brilliant youtuber.
I would like to mention, I really like the way you narrate in the vidoes & the pace of your videos. It very unique & engaging.
Wish you all the best with your current & future projects.
Magical from start to finish Jesper and Julie, love every moment, I look forward to part 2 ❤
Thank you so much Dainsy! Every moment has been magical for us too. Stay tuned for part 2! ❤
How lucky to have such a wonderful dad.
Aaah! This video makes my heart sing! My first from your channel and I had to subscribe. I am a 72 year old tool woman who ditched a nursing career to restore old buildings. My favorite memories involved going to the hardware store with my dad on Saturday mornings. My mom and I would also go to the lumberyard to scrounge off-cuts for projects. I was lucky enough to marry a handy, supportive guy who went from construction to electrical work and took me along for the ride. I love your sense of humor and music choices, and I love that you are doing this with your daughter. And can I add, kudos for being vulnerable about your grief issues and getting help for them. Real men ask for help. No shame. Wish I weren’t so far away (USA); I would take you to lunch!
I would have loved to do a project like this with my dad. He passed from cancer when i was 14. He was an architect too, and I often think of him when i watch things abput homes ans buildings. He would have loved the technology we have now and how easy it is to see stuff from arouns the world. When he passee the internet was still dial up and cell phones were still massive bricks that pulled trousers down! 😅
Thanks for sharing this story ❤. Yes, no building is ever free. I once had a guy from Malawi put up 80% of a stable block for me with literally almost nothing. He even reused the pallet nails and we sourced round poles from old electricity poles that had been replaced nearby. We also had some lovely paving from bricks that were getting thrown out. We got stuck when it came to the roof, however, and then shortly after that had to leave the property we were renting. But it is amazing what can be done with determination and ingenuity, and those stables were used to seperate the horses for feeding for quite some time before we had to leave.
As a millenial who is stuck in the bracket of people who work three jobs just to squeeze through the month financially, I am now very much into reusing, recycling and being creative and thrifty -not just for economic reasons, but for environmental and creative reasons. So i love seeing content like this because seeing how different people tackle projects gives you knowledge and knowlege is the best resource of all ❤
A piece of you will always be in that cabin a memory your Daughter will cherish forever
This is the first woodworking video that my teenage son was interested in watching and even asked some questions. Thank you again!
That’s fantastic! Glad to hear your son enjoyed it and asked questions. Thank you for sharing that with me!
Everything about this 45 minute video was wonderful, Jesper. You are also a natural storyteller. A very gifted man.
Wow, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
you've made me cry happy tears thinking about the bond I had with my dad. My dad had the same accent as you. My parents came to Australia in 1958. They are gone a long time ago now, but its great to reflect on the good times I shared with my dad. Thanks Jesper.
Thanks for sharing, Diana. Those memories are precious, and I'm glad my video could bring back some happy tears.
Is this a parable? Is this a series of delicious metaphors? How was the whole piece conceived and so magically constructed? Is it serendipity or just from many hours of quiet contemplation that the narrative matches the build and the whole reflects so much of what it is to be a human both now and in the past? (Just rhetorical questions my friend)
Father to Son. Father to Daughter. Jesper this video is so touching, so heart warming. The story, your story; your family story transcend the build. The precious connections between generations and connections to the precious earth are not lost. To teach and then be brave enough to stand back and watch and then delight in other's success is a precious skill, the skill of a true parent.
You have told us of the foundations, of the aspirations, of the struggle to begin, of the history. Shown us what goodness grows around us. Can't wait for part two where I guess you will show us what wonders we can achieve, what it is a home truly needs and maybe some prophecy about what lies above the roof about the future.
(Therapy is a miracle process that is far more redeeming and healing than any addiction or pharmaceutical could ever be, seeking counselling is not a sign of weakness, it is a brave and transformational process.)
It has been over 10 years since I lost my Dad, and last week at church, i cried, because we sang his favorite hymn, and suddenly, i heard it in his voice. ❤
God bless your happy memories.
Bore off
I especially love the old video of your dad & family! How awesome that you were able to bond with your daughter over a labor of love from scratch! Thank you for sharing with us.❤❤❤
I just found your channel and I enjoyed this video so much! It hit my heart in so many ways. I lost my mom in 2018 and realized she was also my lifelong best friend. Life has been very rough since. Growing up, I was a major "tomboy" and working the farm with my dad taught me so much. I found out that I was capable of doing more than I had imagined and more than many of the city boys my age. Building this cabin with your daughter is such a special project that will always mean a lot to both of you, your relationship and the skills learned. I think many (at least in the US) have forgotten how important both parents are to both sons and daughters. Each relationship contributes something different, but equally important and very special. Loved your sense of humor too! You made me laugh so many times and laughter is always a good thing that we need more of these days! I look forward to the next segment in this process and will have to look at your previous videos. I love wood and woodworking, but am just learning when I have time.
That is so inspiring! You both are blessed to have this time together!
Fantastic video, I really enjoyed watching the journey and bond between both of you. Very beautiful memories you are both making and I'm sure the cabin will be wonderful.
Congratulations on all the good work.
This was just really lovely. Thanks so much for sharing the journey between yourself and Julia. The saw mill continues to amaze me so I am not surprised that your daughter caught the bug. All the best
Absolutely beautiful storey of how blessed life is and can be. Together you build lasting memories. GOD bless those precious moments in time. Seal them forever in your heart.
Hey Jesper I just wanted to say thank you for the videos you make. I have been watching both your and Mark's videos and love the content. I have been watching a lot of your videos on repeat. Its very inspiring and has gotten me to dive into the woodworking journey. I will mainly be working with pallets and hopefully soon starting a youtube channel to show off my work. I have to say I love your story telling through your vidoes. So thank you and looking forward to all your projects down the road.
The look of joy and excitement on your daughters face- you did that. You are an amazing father. Awesome video. Thank you for sharing.
I fondly remember the times my father and I built things together, fix things, dreamed up new projects. He taught me a lot, and I miss him, along with having more chances to learn with him. I still have some of the wood that he milled when I was really little, and it's like you said, the smell of different species bring back certain memories. Walnut = in the shop with my dad. Thanks for reminding me of that! I eagerly await the next video of your constuction journey with Julia!
Thank you for sharing your story. Those memories are truly priceless, and I’m glad my video could bring some of them back for you. Looking forward to sharing more of our journey with Julia!
I have a wonderful relationship with my daughter and her daughters. It's a thing to be treasured, you are truly blessed.
Couldn't agree more! Those relationships are truly a blessing.
Thank you for your woodworking lessons, creativity and life lessons. God bless you.
Loved the video,you are building something for now and the future,well done the pair of you.The memories of your father will spur you on too.
This brought me so much joy. I love the bonding, the learning, and the passing down of knowledge. Also, Denmark is astonishingly beautiful. It’s a treat to see where you live.
I’ve been systematically blocking negativity on CZcams, and it’s paying off with videos like this.
Glad you enjoyed it! Denmark is beautiful, and it’s a pleasure to share these moments. Blocking negativity is a great idea-thanks for the positivity!
You have emerged as one of my favourite storyteller/woodworkers. Thank you to you and your family for cheering us all up a bit.
How good is is Beau Miles!! Love his channel.
Jesper, this is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever watched on CZcams. Building the cabin with your daughter, Julie, is something you will both treasure for a lifetime. I’m looking forward to part 2. 🇦🇺
A beautiful story, a journey for the heart and mind. I find myself in awe of your daughter - the tenacity, creativity and integrity she displays is hugely assuring. The more I witness of the generation that your daughter and mine belong to, the more I am assured that our planet will be in much better hands in the future.
As for the video itself, this is not 'content', to be consumed as a diversion and distraction; this is cinematic videography and s-tier storytelling that warms the heart, sparks inspiration and urges the viewer to embrace their own creativity. I love your approach to making videos, quality over quantity wins every time as far as I'm concerned. What you make, Jesper, in every sense, is rare and special.
This video is so amazing thank you Jesper for sharing it ❤ building stuff or fixing engines with my dad are some of the best memories i have and miss him so much every day people should not take things for granted people are not always going to be around so spend as much time as you can with your love ones
From Oregon, USA.
Thank you, Both of you. Quiet, relaxing, fun to watch and learn at the end of a hard day.
Better than a Master Class.
Jasper I love the channel. This video rang home to me on many levels. My own father past away in 2021 and he actually left me all his tools and I use his tools in my tiny work shop.
I'm very glad you made the jump to youtube. I love your videos and your channel.
Thank you
Absolutely amazing stuff.
I miss my dad hugely too and that bit really rang true with me.
This build and video is inspiring and i cant wait to see the next part.
You're both very lucky to have shared this experience together and im so very happy for you both. ❤
Thanks so much! Those memories are truly special. Glad the video resonated with you. More to come!
Seriously amazing Jesper! Both the building of the cabin and creating a womderful memory/bond with your daughter! 😊
Thanks so much! I couldn't agree more-these moments are truly special.
Beautiful video, Jesper. I'm so glad there is a part 2, I wasn't ready for it to be over.
Glad you enjoyed it! Part 2 is coming soon-I wasn’t ready for it to be over either!
You, my friend, are one of the luckiest men in the world. Thank you for sharing your family time with the rest of us.
Your daughter is beautiful, inside and out, you are both lucky to share each other
😊 Thank you! We are very lucky indeed.
Can't wait to see the next chapter in the build. Great way to spend time with your daughter.
Priceless memories for both of you, your father will be smiling down on you both, full of pride! Best wishes from Australia x
Thank you! Those memories are truly priceless. Best wishes from Denmark to Australia!
Jesper what a beautiful video. Working with your daughter must be wonderful. When you mention using your father's tools it hits home for me as I too use my father's tools who has been long passed away. I always feel like he is helping me use them still. Keep up the great work !
What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.
This video was so beautiful. The wat it was put together. The insights. The bonding berween father and daughter. All of it. Bravo!
Thanks 🙏
I’m 67 and watching from NM in America. Love to see your special bond.
It's so beautiful. My grandfather worked with wood. And though my mom never worked with wood. She wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty, and figure out the problem. I remember building a bunck bed, and working on cars with my grandpa. Though I was to young to really learn much. After I married a city boy though, I was happy for all they both thought me. Unlike my husband, I wasn't afraid to retile a bathroom, fix sinks, fix electoral outfits, or work on my car. While he would have waited forever, for the money to hire someone. I found out how and had it fixed in a few weeks. Because I always saw my mom, and grandpa working on things I knew it wasn't that hard. It made my life so much better. And my son also learned this by helping me, and watching. So remember that your not only spending quality time/building a house. Your teaching not only your daughter, but future generations as well. I grew up half in the country and half on the edge of city. And this kind of lessons is unfortunately not what so much of the future generations are getting. So it's a beautiful thing.
I subscribed to your channel for the woodworking projects but I think now, I also look forward to the story-telling. Thank you for sharing and good luck on this new project with Julia.
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying both the woodworking and the storytelling. More adventures with Julia to come!
The video footage of your dad and grandfather earned my subscription ❤🎉! Thank you.
Loved this! Here , on our farm, we build many things with used wood and roofing. Sometimes our only cost is screws!
I am currently building a garden house with my dad and as frustrating as it may be at times, I already know I’m going to remember this time fondly for the rest of my life! Jesper, this might be my favourite video from you so far! And your daughter is a freaking badass!
Lol. That's how builds with Dads go, lots of forehead veins popping on Dad's head. Have fun with it. Mine are my best memories with my Dad.
What a priceless journey! Thanks for sharing a glimpse of it! ❤❤❤
Fantastic video. Having the chance to share this opportunity with your daughter must be amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Absolutely! It’s been an amazing experience. Thanks for watching!
I love your sense of humor. Great inspiration for something I want to build on my property. Thanks!!
What a beautiful project you and your daughter have taken on ❤. God Bless
Given enough wood, time and creativity, the rest is joy. There is a great satisfaction from creating something from nothing of relative importance. Where I live, there are many rocks. Nice big rocks of various sizes that can serve many purposes. There is something about using native stone to construct useable features of your living space. I even used some of the rocks for my shower floor. Even though they are uneven, it worked out and gives me stable footing in there. Cheers!
i loved watching this video, what a great idea to do this project with your daughter. In my opinion that's priceless. Wish you two all the luck and fun in the world solving problems and finding new ways to make things possible !
Awesome video! really amazing to see the two of you together and making this happen. Cant wait for the next episode
Glad you enjoyed it! More episodes on the way!
What a great video! Thoroughly enjoyed it. I could listen to your voice all day. I enjoyed the slow authentic progress recording. All the best with the build
Hi Jasper, I’m loving this story with you and your daughter. I love building too and if it is using things that are free and then that time can be shared with either our son or daughter, it is even more amazing. You are an awesome inspiration and will wait in anticipation for part 2. Hopefully getting some of my summer projects done with my kids while they are home for the summer.
Julie and Jasper, carry out a project and spend time together, between father and daugther its priceless. Thanks for sharing.
Alfredo
So true! Spending time together is priceless. Thanks for watching and enjoying our journey.
So beautiful! I can understand that you are proud of Julie, she is really cool!
You are so blessed to work with your daughter. She will always remember her precious moments with her Dad. Great Vlog keep up the great work. Thank you and your daughter..
time spent with your daughter, priceless !, I built a picket fence with my daughter she learnt how to safely use power tools
Amazing, in so many ways. Thank you for posting this :)
Love the story, the cabin, the connection between you two, the build - and the cat!
Thanks so much! We love the cat too!
Genuinely Jesper, you give off the vibes of one of the nicest guys on CZcams. Your videos always feel so relaxing and personal in a strange way. Greetings from the UK!
What a truly marvellous project love it thank you for showing how to build for ‘free’
I have just discovered you, Jesper, and I am really enjoying your content. Your daughter is also very inspirational. Lastly, I love your background music!❤️🇨🇦
I love your story telling Jesper. It’s more than wood work, you include so much in your projects, and it’s fascinating and brilliant.
I made my first planter box out of pallet wood because of your channel. My box was a little wobbly and not the prettiest, but I had so much fun making it.
This is looking great Jesper. Love how the overhead shot shows how close to the beach you are. That's awesome. And this build is great. Thanks for including the floor insulation in this one. Look forward to more on this as you put the finishing touches on it. Cheers! Scott from Japan
Thanks, Scott! The beach is definitely a great backdrop. More updates coming soon-cheers from Denmark!
Jesper, this video got me chills all the way watching this after a working day. I admire your style of making videos and talking. I am really so happy for you, that you and your daughter are getting closer on this build and that she espacially uses this opportunity to learn a lot of new things.
My two daughters are yet to small for such projects but i hope that i get the chance to have some woodworking time with them in the future.
As always, Kind wishes from germany and i am looking for part 2 ;-). Sönke
Thank you so much, Sönke! It’s been an amazing journey with Julie. I’m sure you’ll have wonderful woodworking moments with your daughters in the future. Kind wishes from Denmark, and part 2 is on its way!
Watching you and your daughter work together is wonderful. I'm very close to my daughter even though I don't see her as much as I'd like. I can't wait to see the finished cabin.
Thanks a ton! It’s wonderful to hear about your close relationship with your daughter. Stay tuned for the finished cabin!
Thank you You tube algorithms for bringing this video to my feed. Watching from Australia. Liking and subscribing right away.
Scandinavians are such nice people. God bless you and your family, Jesper! From a fellow DIYer in the Philippines ❤️🇵🇭
Yay, your video is up…the masses have been waiting - can’t wait to watch it!
Yay! Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed this video Jesper., It is wonderful to see the bond between yourself and your daughter. I always look forward to your next video, cant wait to see part 2 if this one. You are an inspiration.
Your video came into my feed so I watched it. I liked and subscribed because you made a fantastic video. You are such an incredible storey teller, father, son, and craftsman. What you and your daughter embarked on is so special. She is a very talented young lady.
I didn't want the video to end, and I can't wait for Episode 2.
You told the storey with so much humour, I laughed, and with so much heart I cried. And you taught us new skills.
I wish I had a father like you, so I will 'adopt' you while watching you and your lovely daughter bring her vision and dream to life.
I am picturing all the stories that will be told in the future of how father and daughter built a free zero cost cabin, that... well, wasn't exactly free because there is always a price to pay for something. 😅 But the investment is priceless.
And one day, this cabin will be lived in and loved.
So thank you for sharing this. Please consider writing a book. Waving from Germany. Ciao 😁👋📖📝✒️🔨🛠️⚒️🪓🔩🥽🦺👖🥾🧢🏡👨👧
Hi Jesper,
I just wanted to say thank you for another great video! Your work is always so inspiring, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how the project develops with the cabin.
I was wondering if you would consider making a video about the benefits of using a trailer attached to a common car instead of buying a van. I think it could be really useful for a lot of us who are trying to make more economical and versatile choices for travel and transport.
Thanks again for all the amazing content you create!
A beautiful father daughter bonding project .💚
It sure is! Thank you!
You have an absolutely beautiful and smart daughter. You guys make a great team! Your videos never disappoint, always an amazing show to watch, thank you for making these videos for us all to enjoy!
Thank you so much! Julie and I make a great team indeed. Appreciate your support and kind words!
you two are amazing. I love that you are working with your daughter. nice work
Sorry Jesper, as long as you keep making woodworking videos - and/or cabin building videos - I do not need the services of a therapist 😊. Your outlook, creativity and sense of humor continue to make me smile.
It is very nice when you have access to so much building materials. Where I live there is not much to build with other than a trip to the lumber yard, which is still a two hour drive from my home. Even pallets are hard to come by, too, and often are not free unless they are very damaged. You are very fortunate indeed!
this is lovely and relaxing to watch, thank you
This reminded me of the things I did with my dad. He passed away in 2020 and I am so glad we spent time together working on a shared project - I will cherish those memories for the rest of my life.
This was a special video. It’s a wonderful experience to build something together with your family and these are the moments you treasure forever thanks for sharing that moment ❤
What a great project for you both ! not only to increase the bond between each other that will never die for either of you (like yours and your father) It is also a lovely woodworking project where fun and frustrations cause lots of laughter and push you both mentally to problem solve.
I'm sitting here in the UK being quite jealous looking at all that lovely timber especially the alder is as rear as hens teeth here with a price tag associated, I was lucky enough to get a piece some years ago and made my daughter a coffee table from it what a lovely scent and so durable!!
Graham
Thanks, Graham! Building this with Julie is truly special. I’m glad you have fond memories of working with alder too-such a fantastic wood. Sending some timber vibes from Denmark to the UK!
Wonderful father daughter bonding experience. I hope she will not be too mad when you change the locks in the house. 😂
Haha, let’s hope she understands! We’ve got a great bond, so I think we’re safe. 😂
Incredible movie Jesper !! 😭 Once again a story that transcends infinitely beyond woodworking. Can't wait to see Julie & you finish this project & watch what it evolves into 🧡
Beautiful project and relationship with Julia. Thanks for sharing Jesper.
Thank you! Sharing these moments with Julia is truly special.
What an amazing video again jesper give my regards to julie from me and us here in Scotland can't wait for part 2 and more videos from you. We've missed you 👍🏴
I just got this build recommended to me & I thought it was a new to me channel. But to my surprise, I saw the artichoke light in the background & then I remembered watching the video when it was built! Subscribed Immediately! (This doesn't mean that the new videos will be sent to me, because I have several channels that I subscribe to that I don't get automatically sent to me, but now I will watch out for them now❤! (Love your dry humor & sarcasm😂!) Love your work too😊!
Edit: Changed to artichoke from eggplant😂! Great Build! Very heart warming & inspiring❤!
What an inspiring project, Jesper and Julia! Looking forward to pt2!
Thanks! We’re excited to share part 2 soon!
Very nice. I really enjoyed watching you both working together. I am looking forward to the next video. Thank you very much.
Thank you, sir! Really enjoyed this!
Good job folks! Much love from our off-grid homestead in New Brunswick, Canada :)
Well done Jesper,you’re a great man and a true father!
Nice cabin love the sentiment I have done similar projects with my children and grandchildren.
Not a criticism, but I am interested how you will deal with moisture at the bottom of the front wall where water can collect on the deck and seep under the wall? usually there is a break in the floor so the cladding can go down under the floor wall joint with a small gap in the front for water to flow through the deck.
Very good catch 👍. I found out the first time it rained, cut off the flooring outside, let the wall go under the flooring and then mount the outside flooring again with spacing to the wall and between each other. That will be a solid part of the 2. part. Thanks 🙏
@@JesperMakes good solution and don't feel bad I have seen very experienced developers make the same mistake.
Great video! Love your story telling as always. Cant wait for the next part.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. More to come!
What a truly beautiful video, Jasper. Wonderful.
