Funny you mention this. Ever since steve posted about the young man building a cabin I’ve been watching lots of different videos on cabin building. It’s relaxing and inspiring.

If that interests you, can I interest you perhaps in Adam Savage figuring out how to build a Totoro costume? It has that same lovely combination of low-key problem solving, someone with charisma, and slow craftmanship that I like about Beau's vid.
