Once again your vision has knocked my (matching) socks off. I'm totally in awe!

That spindle cutting jig works like a handheld lathe. Awesome

Thank you for allowing us to come along on your adventures

You will probably want a window. It might look really nice to have a bay window with a bench seat added to the most picturesque side. I could easily imagine curling up with a good book reading watching the snow fall in the tiny little cabin.

Man, you're killing that build. The door turned out beautifully, spray foam insulation, spool stairway. Wow! Can't wait to see the full picture. Love what you're doing 😊

That door is just lovely!

love love LOVE the stairs 👏

They pleasantly surprised me too.

That door is truly made for a castle! ❤🧡❤️🧡❤️

I love your mini chainsaw! I have a 4 inch one! Works great!

Your appreciation for beautifully engineered tools helps me feel better about my own admiration for them. There are useful tools, and then there are tools that are also amazingly well designed works of art.

I love this door! As you build, you add a little of each build into your next one.

Fascinating watching you work. Your creativity and skill is inspiring. 👏👏👏

You definitely love the challenge of figuring all this stuff out with these builds, and I love watching.

I've watched every episode you've made and always admired your uniqueness when designing or building something. Ie the cube, the glass house chapel or sauna. I'll tell you what, though, not only is this castle beautiful, but that door alone is a work of art. I know you're good at doing recessed ceilings like in the cube, but to build a door that is curved and make it fit exactly like it should was super impressive. Not to mention how great the door looks to begin with. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I, for one, appreciate it.

Those stairs look awesome! Great build, Kevin!

Your daughter will love all the little "forts" or "playhouses", depending on her perspective, you're building. I don't know how kids play these days, but we would have loved any one of these as "base" for our childhood antics. The hideout in the woods to get away from the 'rents (although they kicked us out every day until supper and then again until dark, so they were waaaaay ahead of us. I figure, like most dads, that if you didn't do this for economic reasons you wouldn't have time to spend on these projects. A bonus for your clan.

You make the coolest buildings! Love it!

Door came out amazing man

I have one of the mini chain saws…….so perfect for a woman or small hands or small jobs. Best thing ever!

I'm so impressed by how you have progressed to this level. This is crazy good!

This is your best project yet!!!!

Great job Kevin! I love the stair design!

Beautiful! Very fantasy like and perfect for a build in the middle of a forest.

We need more spider hole!

Love the random, apple? In the beginning.🤣

Cool door! Would’ve liked to see the window open or be a Dutch door for such a small building, though.

plunge router tip is a winner!

Omg this is outstanding! You are so creative!

Great work . I also like the saw tool.

As always! Absolutely loved this episode! As I’m sure we all love watching all your episodes! Keep up the awesome content!!!

Looks like an interesting outhouse.

Love this build dude. These are the best builds and the craftsmanship is damn cool and good.

That drill bit looked pretty cool.. I'm gonna say it takes under a minute 30 seconds to make one..n about 15 to 20 minutes to make all of em

Spray foam is great until you want to do a remodel or make changes in the future!

Such a wonderful project! The door is perfect and your daughter is going to feel so special playing in that. Awesome job👏👏👏 Hi Rachael!

That drill bit is amazing 🤩 Top notch professional work 💯💪

Really good steps.

AWESOME STEPS🎉

looking good!

Wow, I am impressed! Thank you for doing this.

love all your videos man you made another awesome build !!!! the circle thing or theme is awesome by the way squares juss dont have the same feng shui blessings to you and your family Stay Golden Kevin ! i mean Modern Self Reliance !

The tree sharpener, aka tenon jig, is cool. If I were to build a tiny home, I would use it to do the same thing. I'm not sure how many uses it has. I suppose I will have to look it up.

Awesome build. I need to get one of those giant pencil sharpeners 🐸🍺🔪🔥

that big pencil sharpener makes some great kindling

I love watching what you will come up with next

Looks awesome.

Outstanding. This is really turning into a VERY livable looking building. I’m looking forward to the inside finishes and I hope that you might find some way to add a window/porthole in the loft area. Are you going to spray foam the door? I’m guessing you could heat this place with a candle 😁. Thanks for sharing and your lovely wife visit was just an added bonus!

Love the curves in general and the door in particular. The height of the roof is awesome. I do wish that rather than only building on the spool you had cut it in half and used the halves on either end of an eight foot square centre section to make a more usable space. You could then still have the curved door set into one end for the entrance but the other end could have a nice curved window or series of windows and a bench/seat to sit at and look out with the centre section as the practical living section. Maybe if another spool comes up that could be the next section of the castle build :)

Great work on the door 👍

I really like the stairs you may need to put some sealer on them those seem to rot out pretty quickly, I look forward to your episode every Saturday morning, I’m a bit late watching pheasant season has started here had to go get my limit first thing.

need a video of cool quirky tools

absolutely beautiful work

You have the coolest tools!

ROTFL. It doesn't mean I am a corporate schill just means I like free stuff! Lol 😂😅 He ain't wrong free stuff is the best stuff.

Wow!!! what a great video Kevin!

Looks amazing!! Love it! The stairs are so creatively unique. Great job Kevin and thanks for sharing. Nice to see Rachael pop in too 😊 I’ve shared this

I’m not sure why your channel is so entertaining, but it is. It is not like I ever plan to build crazy buildings or caves. Why not cover the ceiling of this project with a fabric that could be tacked to the rafters in a loose designer style.

OUTSTANDING JOB. Just wish you could do more videos

Spiral? It is a straight rise made of circles. Seeing you go up and down and seeing that you had so much surface available, I would had made each tread deeper.

once people realize that spray foam is structural then we will save lumber because 24 or maybe 36 on center will be the norm / because as you said you can take a cardboard house and spray foam and you won't need vapor barrier just an air exchanger because it will be so air tight / also you cam do a wall with 2x6 but stager every 24 with 2x4 one in and next out to stop thermal bridging in the wall and the spray foam does the rest

A bit challenging but for the floor you could use your mill and square up some different sizes of logs then cut cookies and arrange in different sizes then there won’t be any gaps to fill in. Around the wall will be the most difficult of course. Oh and my guess is it took you about two hours to do your spinals

Awesome projects brotha ✌️

Beautiful door and a great tip regarding router depth gauge settings. Was there a handle on 5e outside of the door or will that detail be in episode #3 ? Great seeing Rachel again.! Wishing you and your family a blessed weekend filled with great weather and restful evenings. Peace brother

Is there any products out there that you can parge directly over the foam with good adhesion? That pencil sharpener is pretty slick, have a link for it? 34 minutes if you weren't slacking..🤣🤣 Hopefully a window or 2 in the works.. Keep enjoying life brother.. Good stuff as always..👍👍

It is so cool are you going to add light

I would have layed 2x4 or better2x6 on the thing first, overhanging 12 inches , so you get that much more square footage to put 2 beds,,,..the Next one

👍👍👍👍👍

Shakes are split shingles are cut .

If you aren't careful the Keebler elves will move into your latest build.

That little chainsaw is cool, an easy one-handed tool. Didn’t mean to rhyme. I’d be friggin thrilled if companies were sending me tools to review! But that pencil sharpener is so simple and awesome! From the time you got going I’d say an hour. 🪵 I haven’t heard “we aren’t building a piano” in a while 😆 I do love the cookies, the door itself is great, a nice challenge. The cookie grout sounds like a pain if you use spray adhesive, I’d water down (and maybe tint) wood glue and syringe it between cookies, then spread the sand. Spray adhesive often relies on pressure applied to assist in sticking. I’ve always heard in carpentry/building that “curves are twice the price” and I understand it, but being THE builder, do what ya want! The stairs are cool, another interesting challenge. I’m excited to see more, and what awesome details get added! I do hope there’s a light feature built in to the ceiling/walls like stars!

You should do another video that’s got “Swearing in the woods” with Kevin. lol.
