[MountainManD]

pretty dang cool

[billyryan100]

dude would u build a small cabin on a tight buget please

[guitargeek1122]

hey, how much does this cost to build? PLEEEEEEEEESE REPLY!

[mrsfrenchie88]

Great video and concept. I love it. But I just have to ask...what do you do for a living that gives you the luxury of time to build all these charming things, write/illustrate a book, *and* be home in the middle of the day? Just wondering.

[crewlla]

wow thats to small looks like a chicken coop.

[CelestialEmbodiment]

It's a coffin. There's no need to breathe.

[crxguy1777]

i want one of these and i probly have the stuff in my backyard to make it cuz we jst built a nice wood. vinyl. and tin roof doghouse haha

[alfonsoskid]

Hahaha omg I'm building one of this :) even if I don't ever use it , it's so damn cool!

[6packwannabe]

How can you make a sauna out of the hickshaw?

Do you have any photos? Its a cool idea!

[riothero313]

These videos are awesome, this dude is funny and thoughtful. It's the little details and dual uses for parts that makes it cool.

[jeffzahnd]

just needs a gun rack, and a quick kick down window, and you got a great duck hunting unit :P

[madmagicmaster]

does anyone else see the purple hand as he flips through the pages

[madmagicmaster]

awesome just awesome

[x9x9x9x9x9]

I think im gonna buy your book and build one of these!

[AsymptoteInverse]

Derek looks exactly like Aphex Twin and he's just as awesome :D

[haigd]

Deek, I'm impressed.

[relaxshacksDOTcom]

@haigd Hey Haig! Thanks man- great to hear from you! Hope the screening of your new flick "Frankie In Blunderland" went well! I hear good things! If you ever need another zombie- keep me in mind....

[KlemzeTV]

What if someone decides to tip it over?

[relaxshacksDOTcom]

@KlemzeTV WHY would someone do that- you're not likely to face that scenario. It DOES, however, have some large eye-loop screws, for roping it down, staking it to the ground, if you needed to (ie, high-wind shoreline areas- just in case).

[CondoFurniture]

Excellent - you are onto something: potentially skirting zoning and permits with this thing micro structure on wheels. I've thought of how to put some sort of simple shelter on land I got me years back...but a love shack on wheels is perfect. Gotta look up your composting outhouse & put that on wheels so it rolls (accidentally) into my neighbor's Porsche Cayenne...tips over...oh, #&!*#! and get a black eye like yours!

[VanGoghLipstick]

You are a creative blast. Love it.

[Dunollieman]

I love the concept 5*****. great video. Scotty (Iowa USA)

[adjanpeter]

I think if more Americans were like you and your family we would be in a lot happier place...Congrats on the Times piece and best of luck!

[takemycatmax]

The most interesting video of it's kind that I've ever seen. Not sure what kind that is, but still, the makers ought to be proud.

[OilCrash]

very cool stuff and great video director. two gifted brothers!

[pigeonpostpictures]

what is this shot on? looks lovely.

[eyejudgeeverything]

Cool. Thanks for posting. These will come in handy for the millions who are currently homeless, or who will become homeless when the economy completely tanks this year. Try approaching Adidas and Amstel Light for product placement revenue!

[CheezDude111]

WHO CAN DISLIKE THIS?!?!?!?!

[MimiZ914]

this one is my favorite Derek. THanks for inventing. Keep on trucking my man!

[pugcurles]

it's reminds me of a artisinal capsule excellent concept

[drzmanproject]

I like the ingenuity, nice job!

[Scriptorsilentum]

Deek, great ideas! PS you are so damned hot I'm melting! ):]

[waup111]

like ur vids. Have you ever thought of makeing a tiny windmill useing a automobile gen hooked on a shaft by belt and the wind mill veins could be made out of anything 2 liter pop bottles or old hub caps gives a nice little supply of power to run an automotive light or even radio. Would supply enough power for lighting in a small home like that.

[Shar4ie]

@relaxshacksDOTcom

Is there instructions on how to build this in your book?

[GypsyGardener2]

Sweet video ! Keep them coming. You are cute and funny !

I had an old VW repair book that looked just like your book.

And I could actually do some repairs myself and I'm a girl.

Maybe I could build a tiny house with the help of your book!

Thanks for sharing.

[technosasquatch]

the tongue&groove boards makes it classy

[Timothy2035]

Deek you forgot to include a wooden crowbar holder. You'll need something to fight off...oh let me quit. LOL!

[kinoboy94]

what song is that the one thats by age agianst the machine anyone know

[pupustinki]

i like the comic thing

[NorthernShiver]

This is awesome  man ;D keep doing your videos.

[ysgdhio]

Deek, sweet shack. You're obviously a carpenter. For us non-carpenters, where do you suggest we go to scrounge up sweet materials like you have there? Thanks! -- Andy

[Tyriama]

@ysgdhio you often have two options when it comes to getting materials for "free". You can either go to the public dumps and scavenge alot of the needed materials, or you can visit recycling facilities and buy for a low price the necessary materials.

If you're looking for something special, like small pieces of wood for the walls etc, the local sawmill often have abundancies of "unwanted" cuts.

[relaxshacksDOTcom]

KsAmethyst- yeah, to whoever would be interesting in purchasing the cabin, depending on the locale, I might be able to deliver it- I'm in MA. The money from the sale will simply go to paying for the shooting (and cabin building) of MORE of these videos.

Thanks to all else for watching!

-Deek

[jumbaliapatatafacata]

how much would you sell it for?

[relaxshacksDOTcom]

@jumbaliapatatafacata looking for $2000- all of which would go towards building the next cabin, and shooting the next video or two....this one cabin was just featured in The New York Times,Yahoo.com, in Coastal Homes Magazine- and a few others.....

[KsAmethyst]

I can think of all sorts of ways to use that! Very cool.. Would you deliver that personally? ;) lol...

[DiederikPolydore]

great things going on there !

[Slettej]

Hey Man I like this "thing". Keep making these things. They are utilitarian shacks. Man this is one for my Favorite's.

[YankeeTankee]

That little place was cool. You are definitely an idea man. Can't wait to check out your other videos!

[loracsivad]

Seems like the anwer for the homeless populations!

[ludwigsongs]

Excellent vid lad..... You aren't a redneck.... just someone who has it well sussed! I'll be checking out the rest of your vids... you have a natural flair for addressing the camera!!

[stefchollet]

very cool vids

[lindseyjunebug]

soo cool! I would love to build one of these some day, with a friend, or future family :) thanks for the vids!

[jf8943pkg]

The black eye at the end was excellent.

[katievhoneychurch]

you're hot\.

[nomoreremakes]

But seriously... this would be a great solution for something that I wanted to do. I wanted to ride a custom trike (people-powered) across the country with some kind of wheeled camper setup. This might actually work.

[nomoreremakes]

Or you could put some cool vintage pinups and skin mags in there and call it the Wank Shack.

I've gotta stop smoking this stuff, man. lol

[dwebb5]

Neat shelter. Much better than a tent.

A good use of materials.

[dougeastman]

I like the minimalistic design. Great craftsmanship from pieced together materials! I'm studying construction and all about sustainable living.. so this vid struck me as pretty great. Thanks!

[westkan]

Great video, is video production your paying job?

[IcyHail]

looks and acts like my economics teacher =P

[ybunnygurl]

nice. I hope to see more of your stuff.

[ErikKiliam]

Great stuff man. Keep it up!

[nsutaria]

Awesome build and what a great video! Thanks for sharing it and I'm looking forward to the next one.

(Watch out for the neighbors though - they'll probably want royalties at some point......) What mill in VT did you go to for the cedar scraps?

[92pathse]

nice!

[depro9]

Make more episodes! :D

[agtheking]

Nice "Hickshaw" and great production value on the video. Can't wait for the next one!

[MrRekky]

Scorsesse would be proud, good job!!
