I wonder if Shawn is getting burnt out from KZfaq? I miss the consistent Friday morning uploads! 😢

Shawn, seeing your beautiful wood stove brings back memories of my grandmother who refused to give up hers in favor of a gas stove my dad & his brother & sisters wanted to buy for her. The bread she baked in it was the best I've ever tasted. RIP gram.

Your sense of accomplishment has got to be huge!! I could see myself being quite happy in that outdoor kitchen, hot cook stove, then you get a cooler summer breeze..perfect! Love the rock on the outer perimeter too.

Shawn, As a loyal viewer the past 5 years, I used to “know” that every Friday morning I could count on your latest KZfaq video both to end the week and kick off the weekend. Yes, I understand that “life happens” and interrupts things from time to time, and you’re due vacation time, heaven knows. But Fridays just aren’t the same. 😕 Don’t worry, I’m still a huge fan. 🙂

So awesome seeing all of the improvements from the last cabin this new cabin really must feel like home like it should be for you and your wife and family

Nothing like the sound of rain hitting a metal roof to remind you how important they are in the grand scheme of things. 🏠😊

I enjoy hearing rain on a metal roof.

Watching you cook on that old woodstove reminded me of my grandparents. Everything my grandma cooked on that woodstove was so good. You are an amazing hardworking man. My grandma would have loved you.

The very best channel on YT! Thank you, Mr. James for the inspiring footage!

Shawn, you’ve become an inspiration to millions around the world in a variety of different ways and yet, you always stay humble. The outdoor kitchen is awesome with that beautiful stove and the views. There are few YT channels that can compare with the caliber & content of yours. I so appreciate that over the years you have never interjected politics, attacks on your viewers or other YT creators & have always kept your channel “clean” ..... you, your channels & the joy of all you continue to share in your journey are a wonderful weekly respite. Continue to be well & stay safe.

Omg! You're going to bust every one of those rocks in half??!?! You're going to have much bigger muscles after that task. It's going to look awesome. Love your stove!

Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great afternoon!

The kitchen looks so cosy I’d probably live out there most days if I had one! I know those stoves can throw a lot of heat too. You could stretch it to a 3 season room I bet!

Shawn, on splitting those river rock, try building a fire and putting the rock in the fire. The moisture in the rock will usually split them right in the center, also when attaching the stone to the Durock (that’s the good stuff, anyone wanting to build a good shower enclosure, that’s the stuff to use) start at the top, use a notched trowel and work your way down and you won’t get grout or mortar all over your work. Nice job, it should look great when your done. Are you going to build another wood burning oven (like your pizza or bread oven from your first place, that seemed like such a nice addition when you built it and it seemed like you used it quite a bit.

Hello Shawn and Cali from Australia! This cabin is turning into quite a palace, going along beautifully! Shawn you certainly don't do a job halfheartedly by any measure! You are a very clever man for doing this, you hopefully get a lot of enjoyment from your life! The rain will do your veg garden good! Take care, give Cali a hug for me! 👋

Best kitchen/diner/living-room ever.

Man the sound of the rain and that setting are so soul soothing. A cup of coffee and kicked back soaking in that feeling they bring on has to be fantastic!

I had a black lab named Sadie that absolutely loved water. Loved swimming in it, "attacking" it, etc. But she hated rain. No idea why.

Great job! Love your outdoor stove. God bless you and your family

Now there was something I'd never seen before. Splitting pond stones for a rock veneer. Let's have a shot of where the stones are. This will be interesting!

I too can attest to my great grandmother and her simply delicious food cooked with her wood stove! Love you gramma!...Shawn what you do and how you choose to do it is, and should be an inspiration for all!, that with the willingness and hard work, we all can have what we want in life!!! 🇨🇦🇺🇲💯✌

the four seasons i worked on a remote farm, the outdoor kitchen, or just cooking outside in general is what i miss the most. love this

That would be so relaxing, cooking and listening to the rain. The open outdoors but staying dry. Thanks for the experience.

Doesn't get much better than this eh Shawn? Enjoying a dee-licious meal on a solid table you built and in the lovely outdoor kitchen = Joy! Thanks 4 sharing your 'wealth' with us! Health and God bless!

Hello Shawn and Cali, what a lovely day you are having there and that outside wood stove you have there is beautiful, I live in the UK and Shawn I positively drool over all the stuff you guys get in America/Canada I watch your channel from the very beginning and just wish I could live like you are. Your achievement on this cabin build and the others Shawn has been beyond words. Thank you for taking us on your journey and adventures, through the ups and downs and this is what truly makes your channel fantastic to watch. Have a lovely day .

This outdoor kitchen is fantastic, Shawn you’ve done a great job. Whilst everyone is talking up that amazing cooker I’m blown away by your natural cathedral windows with a view of your forest either side of the stove. Just stunning❤

Love that stove.

The outside kitchen is coming along beautifully now.I love the new oven it’s very smart.Cali gets the best of both worlds in there,it’s outdoors,but also gives her shelter from the weather too.Her coat looks beautiful too ..Love n Light 🥰

I like the outdoor picnic table. I know a person who was raised with that stove which was their heating source for the house as well as cooking for the family.

Callie is so patient

If I recall the other outdoor kitchen was great, but didn't have the feel of a gathering place or a hangout spot. But this surely does. I'd even be tempted to sleep out there of a warm night, lol. The stone walls are going to look really nice. Hang loose, ya big moose, little moose, and Lady Moosen. 🤟

The cooking is the best part of the uploads! Who's with me?

Look forward every Friday to your posting . Thank you !

My guess for the lack of consistent uploads is he spent so much time not getting work done when he was really sick, going on camping trips, and helping his daughter, that he's trying to get caught up on work as fast as he can before winter hits. Filming and editing takes up a lot of precious time which is running out for him.

My dad loved to cook on a wood stove. He had one when we were growing up, he would get up and make a fire in it when we had to go to school. We would then get dressed behind it on cold mornings. He kept one in the shed out back and he would cook breakfast on Saturday mornings and call my sister and I to bring our families to eat. Such special memories.

So happy you arendoing better Shawn! Love all the additions you have made. You have to have your wife over again.

Oh I love the new outdoor kitchen, and soooo happy to see you cooking again!

Lovely rain blesses outdoor kitchen. 👍

Love the cook stove so many memories of my Grandma. Love the video.

new tool feathers and wedges and maybe a stone hammer sledge with a cutting side? lots of stone veneer not just for cabin , raised grow beds crawl spaces under porches etc...Will you be building a lime stone oven to slake your own stuff while generating bio ash for the grow beds? lotta brush to cleanup on a farm stead and fire is your friend?

New kitchen looking amazing! Congratulations on a great channel!

Turkeys beware, I'm betting on a big Thanksgiving dinner cooked in the outdoor kitchen and cabin! 🦃🥧

I love how the outdoor kitchen is coming. I would be drinking coffee at that table every morning. Nice work

Saludos desde venezuela hermano dios te bendiga hombre trabajador.....

Nothing like building your own cabin, your kitchen, and your own table… Mr. James knows how to build an empire with his own hands 🍀

We had an Elmira wood stove at camp and it heated the A frame as well as cooking meals. Sadly our family camp of 53 yrs has been sold but a new family will make great new memories there. 😊

I love your stove and outdoor kitchen!

Cali.....She is worth the channel alone. Nothing better than a dog by your side.

When I was a kid my parents had these type of roofing, how much I used to love listening to the rains hitting the roof uffff miss it … amazing kitchen.. rugged yet spacious.. your typical way of cooking ❤

Nice beginnings of some rock work there Shawn. That cheeseburger is making me hungry!!

Lovin’ that stove more and more!

Everytime you get something done enough to start using it, it feels so good doesn't it? We've been working hard on our off grid cabin that will be home before fall is over. It's nothing as beautiful as yours but we love it. ❤️

I love watching him building my husband knows I'm always thinking of a project at our home to do.

As you've come to know and expect from me, I like your opening guitar work (and, of course), how the home/cabin/music studio is coming along. I've recently reacquainted myself with my Martin wound-steel, 6-string, acoustic-electric guitar (gotta toughen up the old fingertips again, ya know!). I'm 73 now. Thought I'd cry, but didn't. AND, watching your video, I thought it'd be a good idea to ask you if you'd like to jam someday... ¿your place or here in Colonia Centro Histórico, Puebla, México...? I don't wanna sway your choice, but those venison steaks you rustle up with veggies are to die for. How 'bout just some simple, 3 chord blues with the meal? I like early Eric Clapton unplugged. Gracias por tu video. RT sends, envía, 'et envoie', if you wanna do something in your 'official' other French language...

Thats shaping up to be a beautiful sanctuary for you and your family and all the critters around you

Shawn--The home we moved into in Kelowna had a kitchen stove that was part wood-burning and part electric. That was in 1949 when I was 13 and the chore I enjoyed was chopping up the kindling and wood for the stove. It looked like yours but probably wider. The stove-top was solid steel with the holes that were usually covered. The there were two electric round plates. The upper was likely a warming oven heated by electricity.--Sigh,

Hey Shawn. The rock will look cool. Can't wait to see how you apply it. Pets, scritches, hugs and a kiss all for Cali. LOVE that wood stove!

You a real one Man!✊🏽My 🥷🏽!

The campfire is beautiful. /Julianna Hajnal, Hungary/

Love that wood cooking stove. Remember that from my childhood.

Back when I was a kid living in Doylestown,PA. Old Mr. Fisher had a stove like this. Home smelled like sweet tobacco. Love your outside kitchen. Last week’s video was probably scared me the most out of your hole build.

I grew up with cooking on kitchen wood stove

Great progress on the outdoor kitchen!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The stove is a classic! Your stove top meal looks delicious! Cali is loving the outdoors!🐾🐾🫶🏻

You are enjoying that outside kitchen. So handy for you and your life style.

Shawn i always get a big chuckle out of your video magic. You open the oven door put the pan with meat in it and close the door and immediately open the door and get the same pan with the hamburg cooked with cheese melted and close the door. That antique stove is one fast cooking machine 😂😅 well worth whatever you paid for it.Clever fella you are.😅

Shawn, please make at least 1 hour video and tell me what that dormer for? Love your life and work. Thank You

Mr. James. Have you considered applying a waterproof membrane over your metal roof. They come in different colors and can help mute some of the rain noise. You can paint it on or roll it on like you did your other membrane or roofing paper. Did not know if you knew if it.

Life just keep getting better and better. My Grandma would have approved and made the best ever sweetrolls in that oven.

Oh the memories and smells your stove evokes! Beautiful job their Shawn. Your eye for detail compliments your vision perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us.

That burger is reminscent of the old cabin.. Well deserved!

You are an amazing person. Your family is so fortunate.

That outside kitchen is lookin' fierce!!!!!! That wood stove is the centerpeice. What a beauty, The stone wall will be amazing. Gonna be a lot of work bustin' all those rocks but I love your creativity.

To Mr. Shawn James; First, let me thank you for your service demonstrating how to be a better human being in this world today. I have watched all your KZfaq videos and Emily’s as well and found myself wishing that I was your son and 40 years younger. I’m 73 this year. Had I learned of you back then I would have made my way to you and begged to be your apprentice. I know that you say you’re not a carpenter, nor any kind of an outdoors woodsman but I think that I could do what you have done and improve my life and community as well. I have studied architecture, have designed/built several small inner-city projects but there is nothing that compares to living by your own two hands, improving the land and gathering your own food. Being responsible for yourself and your family is empowering. I too was enthralled by watching Dick Proenneke when he came on PBS. It fit right in with my scouting and wilderness training. Looking back on my years of living vicariously through PBS shows like Nature and NOVA, books and articles from Henry David Thoreau, John Muir and John James Audubon to name a few, I have longed to practice that lifestyle. I love to follow my ancestors from the Native peoples of the Americas using good stewardship of the land, sea and air. So be encouraged! Keep up your spirit, lifestyle and family. You have helped and are helping so many by showing us, in your small example, what can be done if we just do it!

Hi Shawn. Nice to see the outside Kitchen coming along. And everything done at a nice gentle pace. Stay strong and safe.

Were in Our mid 60s and We r Advid campers and fisher people.Also in my Youth a hunter ,so seeing your Bow and other hunting tools is truly awesome. It would b a awesome thing if many would try sustainable living practices.

That kitchen will be you and Cali s favorite hang out :) LOVE it

Wow, it's true. 3rd time is the charm! It's truly magnificent, Shawn! The detail is incredible! I can already picture Thanksgiving dinner! 😊❤

Thank you , Mr James , I enjoy your craftsmanship.

Amamos seu vídeos e o cão também . Obrigado por compartilhar 🇧🇷 . Deus abençoe você e sua família 🙏

this has become waaaaaay more solid build than the first one. tho i miss the stone oven from the first one.

Bonsoir JAMES , voilas un petit bonjour de la NORMANDIE en FRANCE , et oui je vous suis depuis presque 7 ans ,alors continuer comme ça surtout ne changer rien.

When I was a kid we had these frames made for the front porch.. With screens for the spring and glass for the winter. They we all numbered and each spring and fall we chnaged them out. Might work for your kitchen.

Awesome seeing your outside kitchen up n running .cheers Alan UK

Beautiful kitchen Shawn👍👍👍👍♥️

Can't wait to see the stone wall finished! Thanks

Well, I have watched you bill your Home for the second time which I have seen the last few years has been amazing. I love this place and I can see why you wanted to get out of rat race. Homes are never really finished because of improvement thru the years. Your wife have been thrilled at this place. You got so many iron in the fire I would love to see more of the garden if possible.

Thanks for filming Shawn. 😁👍

Love the beautiful wood cooking stove. Plus would love to have a kitchen like this. You are amazing with all of the upgrades you have done with your home.

Thank you for this beautiful video. I'm not able to be outside except dusk and dawn due to extreme heat index here. It's nice to 'be outside', even vicariously.

Thank you! All your videos are amazing! I know a lot of people have learned alot from your channel! Are you going to do a book at anytime about your channel? I hope so! God bless you dear and your family! So thankful for you and all that you share!

The outdoor kitchen is coming along great. If you installed some of those solar tube lights I think it would bring in some good natural light, especially by the cabin entrance.

Um abraço do Brasil ^^ Você é fera!

Very motivational to me. And I'm not lazy. Makes me want to invent new projects. Enjoy your videos. I'm canning Okra pickles today. It's a Florida thing.

Wow, that kitchen is a huge extention of the cabin, love the stove, please tell me you don`t have to break all of the stones in half to get a flat side, what a job that will be. With the kitchen, and a bedroom addition this cabin is going to have some pretty good square footing to it, love that table, simple beautiful design, you never cease to amaze me with what you can do without power tools, I couldn`t build that table if I was in a woodshop, your cutting 45`s by hand on a 6x6 timber, crazy.

nice idea of the rock tub wall ... a cold chisel will help split them rocks too .. (cold coal .... made to break coal into smaller chunks for a coal furnace)

nothing like cooking on a wood stove , bread and cakes taste delicious , you are the best craftsman l've ever watched on you tube. 💛💛💛

As usual impeccable Work Mr. James Your talents and Vision is LARGE Kudos ..

Fantastic! It's functional and it looks awesome!

Shawn it's amazing what you've accomplished in the last 4 years or more I lost track. But the this outdoor kitchen is absolutely beautiful great job Shawn. Thank you for another great video!!

You sir are living my dream life
