Welcome to my backyard builds. Last year I published this video • This Video Will Change... . titled "This video will change how you see wood. I promise." It's almost at 5 million views at this time. A good friend @FixitFingers and his wife suggested to make another compilation with my backyard builds, and here it is. But it's not just a compilation.

It also features contributions from @dainermade , @JackmanWorks , @turgworks4138 , @diyforknuckleheads and @BeauMiles . I also mention @Foureyes.Furniture when talking about pallet wood is a scam and @MikeFarrington about the biscuit joiner. Go check them all out.

    These are the videos people want to see. We're tired of seeing videos where the person has an entire workshop with the most high tech tools saying "Here's how to make this!" Also stop sponsoring Betterhelp, they're known to sell data and not hire professionals. For that reason a lot of youtubers have stopped accepting sponsors from them. Also, I can't imagine how it feels. But he would've wanted you to be happy.

I always held myself back because of thoughts about not having the right tools / resources but this was a reminder to just start with what I have and continue to be resourceful. Keep up the great work!

    as someone with no woodworking interest, I love this video. I love the fact that you are also using this as a way to do things with your family. The fact that you were making the cabin with your daughter just for some reason puts a big ol smile on my face every time there is footage of it. Reminds me of when my father owned a house building company and would take me and my brother to the sites and we would help with some stuff, as well as be absolutely reckless kids and play on the roofs of houses and what-not. I hope some day to be able to do something similar with children of my own. Amazing work brother, even if you had to join a few wood-related cults to get here!

    Kia Ora, My mum is from Denmark (first language I ever spoke), Dad is from Invercargill New Zealand. Brother is born in Plymouth England. I'm born in Grimsby England. Dad's a classic wooden boat builder, mum was working at the London Seamans Mission at the time. After he'd circumnavigated (and decided on religion half way through) on the yacht he'd built, he was over there in England. Met mum and blah blah. Bought a 78ft wooden fishing boat in Denmark, named it King David and converted it to liveaboard ketch. Sailed to the Falkland Islands where they set up the Falkland Islands Lighthouse Seamans Mission and ran it for around 6yrs. Then we all packed up and came here to Whangarei NZ where we've been ever since. My wife is from Erie, Pennsylvania and we've got a 6yr old son. Can't have any more though seeing as she's got an extremely rare blood disorder/cancer/concoction of sorts. I used to do crane/trucks etc, but after she got sick and I got bored of sitting around I decided to take the plunge and finally study towards something I really want to do, so am now in my second year of a Bsc of Applied Science in Environmental Management with the dream of getting a MsC or a PhD in either mycology, freshwater ecology or biology, or marine biology or ecology. I love working with wood in my spare time, and have an original combination Coronet Major lathe which I'm hoping to get pieces for. Other than woodworking, I'll be anywhere near, on, or in the sea. Keep up the good mahi Jesper!

    Hello from Arizona, USA! My first time watching your channel. I didn’t want the video to end. Beautiful land you have. I was amazed at your projects and determination. My son and husband and I built a big chicken house. The base was a huge pallet we found out in the desert where we lived at the time. Saved a lot of time and money. That was over 7 years ago and it was moved to its current location over 100 miles on a trailer. It is still intact and has housed many hens over the years. You’re right…great memories from building that chicken house. I think I loved the drawer fronts you built the best. It literally looked like stacked logs under your work bench. It was absolutely beautiful. A work of art. Great video!

    Pedantic detail: At 23:45 you said you used a half lap joint on the cabin frame. That is actually a joint that is almost never talked about in modern times called a scarf joint! In the Medieval period these joint were often made overly complex by craftsmen as a way of signing their work. A carpenter would become known by the specific way they made their scarf joints. In many old churches in England (and presumably elsewhere in Europe) you can find a completely unnecessary scarf joint placed inconspicuously in the corner among the rafters. This is how carpenters whose names have been lost to history are known to have built several different buildings! In 400 years, someone will find your cabin and be able to ascertain that it was built by Jesper, the famous man whose signature scarf joints were so confident he did not bother worrying about lateral forces or or horizontal tension!!! (j/k - I love your videos and your work is beautiful! It's inspiring and genuinely touching to see someone so willing to tackle such a huge project with their daughter)

He was clearly a big influence and I'm happy to see that your daughter is getting your experience in her life. Passing it on to the next generation is the best way. Love your videos and your humor.

    Greetings from Maryland, USA. You said entertaining and you were right! Loved this video, it's inspiring. I may not make outdoor furniture, but I am an artist who uses wood-burning tools. It is very fun.

    Hello Jesper. 73 year old lady from New Zealand. Really enjoyed your video. You have a very pleasant voice and accent for the commentary - and a great sense of humour. Looking forward to watching more building from you 😊.

    Hi Jesper, big fan from Australia. I would like to personally apologise for Uncle Knackers. He’s the exception, not the norm for us 😂😂😂 Can I say I watched Dainsey’s video today where his son made a log bench to sell, and you bought it so he could give it to his Pop. You are a gem mate, a true quality human. Keep doing your thing!

    Hi there! No apologies necessary, mate; Uncle Knackers is a legend in his own right! Thanks for the huge compliment, truly appreciated. Cheers from Denmark to Australia!

    Martin from Poland. These are the kinds of videos I love finding on KZread! I've been doing some small woodworking and rn I'm starting the first construction project and people like you- regular people without top of the line equipment for every single task along the way and boatloads of cash to throw at obstacles- are a great source of inspiration and actually helpful advice. I'm building a racing pigeon loft with my dad. Majówka is around the corner, the weather is said to clear up (it's been misserable the past two weeks) so it'll be a nice project to work on.

    I have seen the project videos but still was happy to watch this compilation. I love all of them but have a particular fondness for the cookie drawer work table. It just looks so cool!

    So despite my wife helping to come up with the idea for this video, I had put off watching Jesper's Backyard Builds for a few weeks, as I wanted to give it the time it deserved and mistakenly thought, _ "Oh! This will be another compilation of build videos I have seen before so, no rush." _ *Oh how wrong I was.* This morning I came home from 12 hours of night shift and my baby daughter had kept my wife up the whole night cranky daddy had left her once again. So I took her to let my wife sleep and together we settled into the calming tones of our favourite Vikiing Woodworker. She was asleep in my arms in 5 minutes, and in that time I had already worked out this was not just another compilation video... it was art. Thank you Jesper, you are inspirational in the true sense of the word. (Meaning I fully intend to stea.... learn from your editing style and completely rethink how I want to present my next long-format video.) 😅🤔

    Hi Jasper, I’m from Saskatchewan Canada, and from what I hear it’s a lot like where you live. I love this video, it’s pretty much everything I want to do, as I have a sawmill and just built myself a dedicated woodworking shed using only sawmilled wet lumber. I can relate to pretty much everything in this video. Great video and good luck in the future, cheers from Canada 🍁 🍻

    Dude you do such beautiful work, your content and videos are great! With that said, don’t worry about explaining to the would be critics about things like running the thickness planer with clamps affixed. You do your own version of you, and no need to apologize or explain to anyone. You rock and that’s the fact Jack !!

    I just found your channel and I'm loving it so far! I'm 40 years old and together with my family (wife, son, mother-in-law) I'll be moving from Belgium to Northern Sweden over the course of this summer. We'll be doing a lot of building projects, so I'm learning everything I can get my hands on for now. I have so much tool-envy as I watch content, my wishlist of tools is exploding 😀

    Hey Jesper, im 50 minutes in this video and about to cry, so i take a moment and write my thoughts down. Im 30 now and dont have any achievements in the traditional sense. Your journey gave me hope and the importants in living right now, not in the future, not in the past. And still, Im really looking forward to get to the point of beeing a dad like u, making memories. Thank u so much, from the bottom of my heart.
