Making an Insulated Door for My Off Grid Log Cabin, Painting Wooden Walls

The first frost of the season has arrived, so I’m focusing on doors in this video. I design and make heavy doors from pine and alder. I made a 4“ thick wooden frame and added Styrofoam inside, this will help keep the heat inside the log house much more effective. The temperature outside sometimes dropped to -5 degrees Celsius, so I had to work inside the log cabin. Making the herringbone pattern was much more difficult than I expected, so it took me 3 whole days. Now that the door is installed, I can comfortably work inside the log house. Also, at the beginning of the video, I painted the walls with motor oil, this will protect the wood from weather conditions. Sometimes I take a break to play with my dog Joy, which helps me clear my mind and get back to work with renewed energy. My Knives and Axes: BSH4 Dusk - BSH2 Glacier – BSH5 Shadow - AX1 – My Patreo
