Worst thing about these videos is that they end. This is the most relaxed I’ve been in weeks! God bless you and your family, Dave. 🍁☮️💟✝️🍂

Buddy of mine got me watching these videos. We’d spend hours watching them and dream of building something. He died from cancer last week. We’re having his service tomorrow November 18th. I’m sitting here at his house with his wife and family waiting for tomorrow and decided to watch another video and found a little peace and a little sadness. Thanks for the videos and someday I’ll get me a cabin I can disappear to for an escape. God bless and take care.

Man I really like watching his shows. He seems to be real smart and simple easy going man. I told my wife I wish I would have had a dad like him. Keep up the good work.

To be able to escape here and never punch a clock again would be such a blessing

Dave, fellow Michigander here. Found your channel a month ago and it’s given me the confidence to tackle a few home projects that I’ve been putting off. Thanks!

I've been watching you for a few years, times have been tough for me recently but your videos have always been like a home away from home for me. Thank you Dave

The cabin looks really cosy, I can only imagine how satisfying it must be to sit there at night, reading a book, with a coffee, knowing that you built it, all by yourself!

I've been watching you for a few years now, and even though I've been going through a difficult moment lately, your videos have always felt like a second home to me. Dave, thank you

I love channels like these because they remind me of being a little kid watching my dad build stuff and work on whatever. Felt like he had a million years experience doing everything under the sun, and then some! No self-doubt or hesitation, just rolling with the punches, enjoying every second of it. I pray I can attain that security and peace before I get too much older, hah.

As my uncle used to say, ' I love work. I could sit & watch it all day.' And you make it look so easy. Ha! Oh my! That snow was gorgeous! Thanks for bringing us along!

I love this build. I built a shed in the backyard and made a lot of mistakes. Seeing this gave me lots to think about on my next shed. I’m 77 years old and still able to work. Great build.

Dave, I have been watching your videos for years. You inspired my wife and I to ramp up what had been an 8 year + search for a property in the mountains in northern New England. I am happy to tell you that we closed on our property in September 2023 !!!

As someone who lives in an off grid cabin in the snowy mountains I know the video doesn't do that beauty justice. Nothing like evergreen trees covered in snow on a cold day when the sun is out. Gorgeous!

Dave, your channel is outstanding. Your videos are inspiring. You have a great spirit and an admirable can-do attitude. The principles you live by should serve as an example to everyone. Thanks!

Your kitchen cabinets are a masterclass in efficiency and thrift. I love the way you show how they are made with clarity and zero wasted time. Really enjoyed this, thank you.

Hey David, I just wanted to thank-you for efforts to film your cabin builds, time to edit and especially your musical guitar picking/strumming.. Your narration is fantastic story telling and I greatly appreciate your channel’s post editing formate. It makes for more enjoyable viewing and understanding of where your head is at and what you are thinking! Your daughter and son are beautiful and creative kiddos. I love their channels and are thoroughly enjoying watching them grow and create, just like you and Brooke. They are great story tellers and I am proud how they are growing by life lessons. They are making new friends, solidify old ones and expanding their KZfaq family, one day/episode at a time

I found your videos and Brooke’s while looking for ideas and tips on how to restore a 70-year-old cabin I am working on here in Nagano, Japan. The first video I watched was the build of your small black cabin with red trim and that big window made from a piece of glass you had stored in a chicken coop for a long time. That and so many of yours and Brooke’s videos have provided so much insight and inspiration to keep my own project going. Thank you!!!

My grandfather build a dresser and desk with drawer slides done same way. That was over 60 years ago. I have them now and they still work fine. 🙂 Thanks for the video Dave !

Being in Wisconsin, I build my own cabin 22years ago and now I’m 44 years old. My coworkers can’t believe I have a cabin of my own. My answer is that then was don’t buy a new truck every three years.😂 sweat, equity and Hardwork

I enjoy your videos, as well as your wife and son's too. I could watch you all every day. Thank you for the great building videos. You have inspired me!

I’ve been following both you and Brooke way back when Masie was an only child. You make those cabinets look so easy to build. Watched Brooke strip the bark off on the trees she will be using for her big cabin come the spring/summer. And the icing on the cake is you both love and follow the teachings of Christ. Brooke cracks me up when she gives me the first bite. See u next time.

I learn a lot each time I watch your videos. You also help me remember the things I was taught, but haven't put to practice in decades. Thank you!

Dear Dad Dave, you may want to give Mick a heavy-duty Shovel for your hammer. At the moment he'd say yes please Dad. I've followed Brooke and you for many years, now I'm following your son Mick. God bless you all. BTW my husband will watch now and again. He's spent many a summer in Alaska. He's 93 and going strong. I'm 69 and trying to keep up. I love you all in Christ. Warm hugs from northern California. Linda Chastain

Love all your videos. You and Brooke and even Mick inspired me to build an off grid cabin for our family on our property in west MIchigan near silver lake. You have given me so many ideas for my own cabin, thank you!

Haven’t watched a minute of it yet and I’m already hitting that like button 😂

Dave is a true legend. He is able to use the internet to help others (and make $) while at the same time living a simple life in the woods. Truly inspiring

The skill sets that you and your wife have, and the freedom to use them for projects that are meaningful to you are what dreams are made of. You guys are great examples of hard work, fortitude, and resourcefulness. Thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery, lovely cabin, and the pace of life that is so relaxed while accomplishing so much.

So glad to have another video from you. Your cabin location is beautiful, especially just as winter looms. I’m really looking forward to seeing more from you and Brooke throughout the winter. Stay warm 😊

I built a garden shed in my backyard, this was my first build mostly by myself and I've never framed anything before. What I learned was " a good way to do it is as good as the next good way to do it". Your simple builds Dave inspire others to do the same, all you need is a curiosity and a desire tp do it. Keep it up Dave, looking forward part 3.

With all the snow, I couldn't take my eyes away from this video Dave; then all the interior construction, and here I am at 3:30 AM (CST) signing off for the night. I know I'll sleep well knowing you made such good progress on this build. Thanks for the work and editing!

I think a few reasons that your channel does so well is that you have such a calming voice & you don't use bad language. Of course the content is always interesting & informative. God bless you & your family!

I think I could sit and watch you build all day long. Great job. I love the flooring and kitchen cabinets. Loft and ladder idea was awesome. Thanks Dave look forward to seeing what you do next.

You and Brooke's channel always is both so relaxing and inspiring....mahalo for your wisdom and creativity. Much needed videos for anyone looking to build their own home, enjoy nature and decompress from the stresses from this world...God bless you two

These are the only videos I’ll watch multiple times on YT. They’re just perfectly done.

Man, you are something. Your voice, the videos how you explain-- your just AWESOME. I know Brooke is so proud to have you as her husband. It was nice to see a real ring on your finger. I lost 2 husband's before I was 54. Love every minute you have together like it's your last. My two guys were AWESOME too. One was even a "MacGyver" Remember that show?? GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY.

Thanks Dave for all the beautiful shots of winter. We get snow in south Alabama about once every 10 years. The longer video with your story telling and the music. The way you know how to explain what you are doing and with what you are using, sure makes it relaxing. God bless you and yours

Dave, you produce some damn fine videos my friend. Very entertaining and informative. Cheers to you and the fam!

As an architect, let me tell you, I love watching you.

I would love to do this just to make a little house and live in the middle of nowhere it would just be my dream to do it it would just be so nice and peaceful where you don’t have to worry about anything

Thanks. That brings back memories of my dad when I was growing up. He was a woodworker by trade. He made a table saw out of parts he fabricated. I still remember the singing noise that the saw blade made. He mounted two lawnmower wheels on one end to move it around the shop plus it was a pretty light setup. It had a belt drive that the tension could be set. Homemade fence.

You build cabins like you're just making a doll house! 😮🙌🏼👏🏼

"Work a little, sweep a little, move a little junk." Sounds like the chorus of a Loose county Road Commission hit!

What one man called Dave can do another can do. I’m on the hunt for some land. You’ve ignited something in me I never knew was there. Thank you sir.

Oh man, you are such an inspiration for the cabin build we just uploaded. Thank you for continuing to make such great content. I am so excited to have been able to watch your videos before we took our project on. If you get a chance to check out the video build we did - it was largely inspired by you, your wife and your son! Stay safe and warm out there. Enjoy the weather today and tomorrow!

Love it! My pop always upcycled everything-before it was a thing❤😂. I love how you know how to do almost anything outdoors- and if you don’t know you just dive right in and figure it out. You and Brooke are the bomb!

I love Dave and Brookie's videos! I learn so much from watching them!

I’m so glad we found your channels. Straightforward informative relaxing. My favorite takeaway is the story on you giving Mick your fave hammer. You’ll have to pull a secret switch! Ha ha ha.

The designs for your house are very good and also help me build a new house saving more time 5:30

As someone who never saw snow fall....this is freakin amazing

There is nothing better than watching videos made by you and Brooke. Speaking of Brooke, ask her to stop by that cabin one day and pretty up the inside of that front door :)

I really enjoy watching your videos! You explain why you do what your doing and make us all believe we can too. You and Brooke are an inspiration!

You brought us beauty, craft, and humor. Thank you, Dave! This is the first video of yours I've watched. Appreciate Brooke's and Mick's work....and now Yours. Happy Thanksgiving to you ALL !!!🦃

Even the 3 second guitar intro brings feelings of peace

I really enjoy the guitar playing and you DAVE it’s great to watch a friend with talent and skills in this life

Thanks for checking in with all of us fans Dave!! Love your cabin and the way you go about your business, not letting something that is beyond your control get you down. Thanks again for sharing with all of us!!

Wow. That was a LOT of work! So well done too. Love the floor. It changes the whole vibe! Thank you so much for filming all that and editing it all as well. So glad you have so many views on this one! It's been a really fun journey.

Take a block of bees wax and rub it on the drawer slides and bottoms on the drawers. Makes for a nice, easy, squeak free slide. Love these videos, I hope to someday build a shop and house for my family and I to live in.

You know what's therapeutic?.... your videos. Keep them coming.

I was so happy to see this video pop up in my feed, love watching you build. I know you don't build cabins all the time, but its always enjoyable. I laughed when you mentioned being without your hammer because it sounded so much like Thor from the movie Ragnorok when he talks about missing his hammer. Its also very sweet that you let your son build his cabin with it.

I'm sitting allllll the way out here in Hilo, Hawaii. I cannot tell you how homesick these videos make me feel. Mesmerizing and lovely, homey and comforting. Thank you Dave for taking so much time and doing so much work, to show your love for what you do with the world.

Hey thanks for the new episode. I swear you could drive across the country and make it a hit with the casual monologue! You remind me of old Walt Disney episodes that were adventures of some dog that ended up all the way across the country and its finding its way back home. You'd be a great narrarator for those kinds of shows. Anyway, I'll still be looking forward to your next post! Be well!

Dave- I am alone in my shop repairing musical instruments for a good part of the year. I have a small tv with a DVD player which is also hooked up to Apple TV (WiFi). That’s how I see your channel. It is therapeutic for me to watch you build as I repair. I ba e see. Your videos so many times I don’t loom at the picture, I just listen and work. 😊 Thanks!

Dave, 1st video i watched of yours was the day in a cabin in the woods.. probably about a year ago i guess.. i really think you do a good job in all facets of your channel. With all the different content out there these days. Yours is very refreshing and i really believe folks can benefit from watching. Heck i even got my 13 and 10 year old sons watching and telling people to stay radical. I hope you continue for a long time to come..

Hey Dave, your videos and Larry Hauns' are a big factor in my upcoming cabin build. I haven't built anything of that size before, but every time i watch one of your videos going through the process it feels just a bit more attainable. Thanks!

I'm watching these videos from a cold and wet Wales. Unfortunately no snow! Your skills are extraordinary. Brilliant to watch👍

Thanks Dave You made me realize just slow down and enjoy life. Love the videos. Awesome, photography, you've come a long ways And music

It looks Great Dave! I can't wait to see the finished cabin. You do such a wonderful job on your builds. Thank you for taking us along. The snow looked so beautiful. What a sight to behold. Wishing you & your lovely family a Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡

I've been waiting for this video ❤ thank you for all your hard work 🙏🏻 .

That able saw needs to be in a museum! When you buy your new fancy hammer, add a new lighter table saw to the list. 😅 Amazing work. Those cabinets are going to come out great. Can’t wait to see it completely finished.

I just loved this video, when I was a little girl I watched my dad and his friend do everything to add in to our little house with hand tools in the 1950s, you have God given talent and everything looks just beautiful.

Wow! What a snowstorm. It's so beautiful... love your cabin build videos!! Blessings to you, Brooke and Mick.

Great content Dave. You're exactly right on the cabinets. Yours will be there for years to come while the compressed ones will rot the first time they get wet. And if you have plumbing they'll eventually get wet.

Love watching these videos it takes me back to grizzly Adam’s narration as a kid. Easy to watch and I’ve learned a lot of tricks

Beautiful snow. God's artistry. Hi from Kentucky...

Thank you, Dave…….. I mean this in all sincerity as all of us have watched many KZfaq videos when watching yours, you are most definitely a step above in so many areas whether it’s presentation, narration, audio visual, you’re hitting home runs production value is above and beyond. So enjoyable, please don’t make us wait so long for the value that your videos bring to all of us……. hope that’s not too much pressure. If it is just ignore the last comment. Your best comes out only when you’re ready for it. Thank you again !!! Read a few comments of people who don’t like the music in the background ….They have absolutely no harmony with the flow of work and environment…They are probably most obviously the people that become Sheeple

Badger bug’s nice! Thank you for the great video Dave, say hey to the misses for me.😊

Listen I could watch and listen to your voiceover a million times. I literally made a playlist of all your vids to bring me so many ideas, and the music and your work makes it easy to fall asleep to. I love every minute. I don’t want to sound selfish but please do more videos, we really need them they are inspiring

Man u are easy on the ears 👂 🙌 !! U have the most story telling voice on all of Utube !! Awesome craftsmanship 😊

Hi Dave, I am NOT handy at all and have never undertaken any sort of project like this. That being said, I have really learned a lot by watching your videos. I also just love the relaxed pace of your videos, including how you take your time with things and explain what you do along the way. You are a great 'story teller' of sorts through your work! Thanks, Rich.

It was very satisfying to see your continued work on this cabin, that’s the best word I can think of to describe it. Satisfying 😊 Thanks Dave, learning a lot from you!

You remind me of my uncle, just that calm voice

WE. LOVE. THESE. FALL/WINTER. CABIN. BUILD. VIDEOS!!!!!

When i was younger I Wanted a Small Cabin like this in The Backwoods Of Maine To Travel to From The OuterBanks Of North Carolina Around Christmas Time So We Had Snow on Every Christmas for The kids.... Then i wanted a Place in lower Florida Mabey The Keys Area to warm up from the cold Winter weeks in Main lol I Had So Many Dreams of just a simple life and WELP life hit doctor after doctor Bill after Bill alement after alment im Blessed to have a Small Home On The OBX of NC where we might get snow once twice a year that is gone after 2 days and Summers at the Beach are So Nice and warm We Live Our Lives as best we can and try without regret... Live life with no rearveiw mirror and no regrets💯🙌🏽 ✌🏽💀✌🏽

Dude I’m not trying to sound like mmmmm … anyway your voice is like a Sam Elliot or a Morgan Freeman…. God bless you and your wife… and son!

This is the most relaxing video I've watched in a long time...thank you Dave for showing us how "easy" it is to build a little one room cabin with a loft...God Bless you and Brooke!! Live free...Cella & Sugar

Find someone who loves you like Dave loves his table saw.

This video is making me DESPARATE to start a new project. I've got a shed/bunkie planned for the spring and I can't wait to get started. So much satisfaction in creation.

Going to visit my folks in AK in a few weeks and can't wait to see the winter wonderland. Loved seeing the snowy bits in your video, and even though it's frustrating when you have work plans, you still accomplished what you set out to do. You and Brooke taught Mick that same mindset, so awesome! Love watching y'all!

These type of videos are my favorite that you make. So relaxing. Keep it up

Daves videos touch something in my soul.

I was telling your wife on her last video; that you both have motivated us to start the hunt for some raw land. Happy Holidays to all of you! God Bless.

I love this video, Dave! The cabin looks wonderful as do the cabinets and flooring! I always learn something when I watch your videos, for sure. Thanks for sharing all that you do and blessings to you, always!

The mice are inside the cabin laughing at you saying haha we're already inside for the winter thanks Dave🤗

Love these videos , wanting to build a shelter to put on my property to live in and just watching you work teaches me so much about what goes into it.

Always love your videos and Brooke’s. Building my cabin with inspiration from y’all ❤️

I wish I was young enough to build my own getaway!

Dave. Fantastic work. Thanks to your channel, I'll soon be tackling my own cabin. I'm still in the felling trees stage, but I hope to try that corner post style building method. Def borrowing that cabinet building style for sink. It looks fun! That's prob far off, but thank you in advance.

this is such a sweet idea 🥺❤

I have such peace just watching you and Brooke!! I want to move a couple of miles near you in those beautiful woods!! You guys just build me a cabin! and I can spend my time quietly painting there and loving God and others!!! Wouldn't that be something!! Lol!!

Quite possibly the most entertaining video I’ve ever watched. Thanks for sharing!
