New Low-Dough DIY Video- with a Hobbit Huts/Tiny House Tour

Here's a NEW VIDEO I did over at Make Magazine- which is certainly on the goofy side, but fun (well, I hope you'll find it so)- This tour shows you the Wooden Wonders Hobbit Huts/Holes in Unity, Maine- AND I wrapped in a simple little weird art-meets-functional shelving DIY project into it too....



Please Subscribe To My DIY/Tiny House Building Youtube Channel HERE- Over 65 How-To Videos! 

This one's not for everyone, but the intentions of the "Bicycle Inner Tube Book Shelves" Project....

-Keep it VERY affordable
-Keep it simple, and time-wise, quick to make 
-Its easily removable and stowable
-It works to house and "tether" your books down while underway/under transport (in the case of a Tumbleweed-like travel trailer or tiny house)
-It utilizes materials that might otherwise be thrown out- recycled materials....

So, check it out- AND, I'll soon have another video debuting over on Kent Griswold's TinyHouseBlog.com site, which tours The Whittled Down Caravan (shown below)- a traveling gypsy wagon/canestoga wagon that was built by Tristan Chambers and Libby Reinish for a mere $1500.00! You'll love this lil' place.


It was a guest structure at our last hands-on, Relaxshacks.com "Tiny House Building Workshop"....

THIRTEEN Tiny Dream Log Cabins- AND a floating log home!

A TINY LOG CABIN PHOTO GALLERY 

Rustic old log cabin from weheartit.com

     Over the last few months I've had many different readers send in photos of log cabins that they've seen, found, or own. More recently, Steven Harrell (who I'm co-hosting the April, hands-on, three day, tiny house building workshop with (Wilmington, NC)) posted a super cool TINY LOG CABIN HOUSEBOAT on his tinyhouselistings.com site (A steal at $12,000.00- If I only had a pond!), and that served as a reminder for me to post up some of these photos. That log cabin, is far below in the gallery too.

Check out info on that upcoming TINY HOUSE WORKSHOP- with MANY guest speakers, builders, and bloggers....HERE....


While they are only exterior shots, there's still a lot to be learned from them in style and form, so check 'em out, enjoy, and may they spark some inspiration in you!

PS- I also have a "Log Cabin In The Vermont Woods" video coming soon as well.....AND another on The Whittled Down Caravan- a DIY-built Gypsy Wagon/tiny dwelling on wheels that made a guest appearance at our last building workshop.
