This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things kzread.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

Oh my god, this is gold... I nearly spat my coffee out ... (Came in like a wrecking ball) Big ball in the forest, ya don't see that everyday 👍😍 I was just thinking whilst watching... You've made house in the trees, a house underground, a cube, a triangle, a ball... There is nothing you can't do ❤️

You need to take care of yourself is not girlfriend you neded boyfriend is said yours was dog cool so this is

You might want to consider keeping a container of Damp Rid inside the sphere when it isn't occupied. Condensation will build up inside because it is waterproof. I lived aboard a fiberglass sailboat for a few years and this was often a problem. Great build! Check out the use of gimbals, attachment points used for oil lamps and such. They're something like small "gyroscopes" that keep horizontal surfaces on an even keel when a boat is rocking. I always love how you include those extra little touches that take your cabins in the woods to the next level.

This is the coolest build I ever seen on KZread!

Couldn't wait till this dropped....love your channel 👍 coming like a wrecking ball!!!

You are a unique man! Whenever I want something outside the norm to watch, I look for you and you come through every time! Thank you for all the entertainment you provide. Will always be a fan.

This sphere is great!You guys did a really good job and just in time for winter with the isolation and a mini wood fire place. I also liked your wife having the courage to make it in that personal pod you made with coffee and donuts, she seems so nice.

Love the intro lol. And when you put the window in all I saw was the Death Star from Star Wars lol awesome build and can’t wait for the houseboat challenge with Fowler!

Love this. I want to take my kids on a road trip to Canada during Christmas break if I can pull it off. Beautiful country!

For your chains - I added a long tiny spring to my Tour Pak lid cable, that pulls it to the side when closing.

This is so impressive! It’s super hard to work in so many curves, but you tackled each challenging step and the end product is delightfully whimsical, beautiful, and unique. Thanks for spending 6+ weeks in a tiny ball for us!!

This turned out so well! The time, effort, energy and craftmanship put into this.. wow. Hope the algorithm gives it some more love, this was a really cool project.

You should use magnets on all your little items so they will just stick to the ribs. Easy and you wont lose small items like your light remote.

Super cool that your wife is so supportive Kevin. I can imagine her reaction when you get “an idea” & tell her what you are thinking. You definitely think outside the box…or in this case circle. 🤣. Let us know if you ever decide to do an Airbnb…😉. Come to Canada in the winter & check out the snow & your woodland village. ❤

I just wanted to say that I have been following along with this hole build and what u made is so outside the box is just killer thanks for sharing this project with us all and I can not wait to see what you come up with next and if u do the tiny boat build I know it's going to be sick but till than stay safe

Waiting till Midnight in AUS to see how it turned out..

If you rent out the ball cabin and offer a campers' breakfast, it could be a (hangin' in the) air bnb :)

I suggest to have a slight bigger metal piece or something just below the firestove to catch some of your accidently fall-off burning wood's pieces...to prevent fire on your floor.

I ordered 2 sets of knives from Kamikoto. The 1st set I ordered arrived 4 days later (from Japan) I loved the Beauty of them so much, I ordered the 2nd set for a Chef (arrived 3 days later from Japan) I got $50 off my order (another tuber: SB50) I will go in again and look at more knives. Well worth the price.

I like how you take a bunch of what other people would call junk and turn it into something useful! For cutting foam, I can't recommend electric carving knife enough! Yes the kind used to carve a turkey for dinner!

Kevin's Mylie impersonation was great! What a fantastic project, such a crazy idea, but you made it awesome!

You should dig an "impact crater" in the forest floor for it to hover over, awesome project!

now if you wanted to go REALLY hardcore, attach the chain to a very slowly turning motor so the entire ball slowly rotates (like 1-4 rph).

Definitely one of your most imaginative builds so far. So inspiring to see a cozy little home grow up bit by bit. Looking beautiful with that round window and the little stove inside. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪😊

With all these cabins you have, do you plan on renting each one out for honeymooners or vacationers? A small family reunion? BTW, you have given me several ideas for a small RV build that I have been making plans for. Thank you!

You go Kev 🙌 such a trip to go along with you on this adventure...and your trusty all important Assistant. Thanks heaps for sharing the fun and expanding our minds on what is possible 🙏 Can't wait for the next build chapter

Electric knife works really good for going through foam rubber memory foam

This channel is actual gold. High quality, educational content. I thought you had a couple million subs before I checked. Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with next!

This is probably my favorite build of yours. I imagine your daughter having the best time with her friends growing up having the coolest places to have slumber parties. It's like endless play houses. So fun.

Really outstanding results. The flooring, window, heater/fireplace and bed are great but what person doesn’t want a mirror over their bed? Now we just need someone to spend the night in your orb. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my goodness, that'd be perfect for reading. Add in some curved shelves with a lip or mini-railing and load it with books. The perfect escape. Love this.

That turned out flippin awesome

I'm imagining a hiker coming upon this in the woods. At first glance, at a distance it may appear to be a huge ball of yarn. 😄

I think this is your best creation so far!

Excellent series. Very creative. Your daughter will love it.

So that's how Aranara houses are made! Very cool project. I like how it turned out. Nice and cozy.

This is brilliant and bonkers. Love it.

Very cool project, Kevin! I like that your wife also tagged along and helped you install the mirrror/LED lights 🥰

This was a really outside the box build. Being a ball is a great start, but the challenges involved, an overcome, were fun to watch. As far as the circular window is concerned, and the flashing thereof, I'm not sure why you didn't weld a ring on the outside. Being curved, and matching it exactly would be difficult, but a short ring on which to attach another material, or under the ring gasket when installed would probably sealed it up the first time. My 2 cents. Otherwise, this, like all your other wacky projects was outstanding entertainment. Good luck on the tiny boat build! I doubt anyone would really challenge you on this one, especially for the small amount of $ you invested.

VERY COOL! Leave her free hangin and video a stormy overnight in the ball, maybe? 👌

Love it nice seeing wifey helping out too.

Love the build, if you want to stabilize it, have 3 point tightening on the three posts and tension with cables

In the future it would be cool to attach a winch to the cable, and be able to hoist the ball a lot higher once you're in it.

A few projects back, I thought I had seen the last of your signature circular window motif! Boy am I glad that I was wrong! Another fine project, my boiled Canadian friend! And yes, bed does look like a Jesus fish 😉 BTW They've been trying to scam me via your YT channel name

What a fun built 👍🤪🇫🇷 Great job.

WOW!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!! The Devil cant corner you in that thing!!!

Cup holders. Even gyroscopic ones, perhaps. I had thought of suggesting smoothing out the bottom and building a platform with wheels on the bottom that was curved to meet the base, but then the floor would shift relative to everything you had on the walls, and I thought that would get complicated. It might've also been hard to get the wheels to move smoothly so it could have just created a worse experience. A whole second sphere with wheels around the entire thing inside the first might have solved it, but then what about the windows and doors? Good job picking out the bedding, it definitely looks nice, and I like the rust colour of the beams. Personally, I'd gladly have my bedroom be in one of these (Attached to my house with a flexible bridge? Fully indoors?) if I was allowed. I think the rocking would be very soothing.

That is so freaking cool!!!!! I can't believe how amazing it turned out! You really can build anything, with help from Don of course. You have thought of everything in there. Really love it. Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and your sweet family. All the best.

Laughed so hard! I love this project! You are amazing and so nice to see the lady of the house! Thanks for taking us on this journey and can't wait for your next ingenious idea!

A ball, a round window,and a round mirror….. kinda square 😋 cool project! For real…. You need a disco ball!

This is so cool you have got such great ideas. I always enjoy watching your channel..

What an awesome and unique project

If you want to make the wobblyness visible, add a giant level on the wall. Or maybe one of those nautical compasses that float inside a glass ball? Anyway, great to see the ball cabin done, I like the crescent bed. 😀

Looks great. You desperately need to add some fresh air ventilation for the fire and to help avoid condensation though.

Another great build, a few steps on the inside of the door could double as shelves when its closed. Can't wait to see the next little home build.

Great job and well done Kevin and Don 👋👋👋 This was a fun build to watch. Can't wait for your overnighter in there Kevin.

kevin you did a good job welding that ball up considering you don't have a lot of experience welding, good job bud. and btw use exterior caulk not silicone.

If it falls to the ground you may want to install a brake system of some sort. Otherwise you will be in another dimension regardless of a portal.

Wow! I love it!

So cool !!!

I was going to ask about the space under the floor and if it would be useful as storage but then you mentioned ballast. How about a water tank/bladder then you have the water and whatever is left of it can be the ballast?

For your outriggers you could use rubber (bungees) so it still swung but not as much… would also keep the door and window (or chimney) oriented in the proper direction…

Your energy is awesome!

Top job Kevin yet again. you are getting a bit of a master at your builds. Fantastic well done. 👍👍🍺🍺
