Hi Brett I'm a recent subscriber to the channel. Great channel I must say. I'm going to be building a couple of these blinds setting on 293 acres. Do you have the drawings in a pdf you can email??
A really nice design and very thoughtful presentation. Thanks for sharing. I design pretty much everything myself, but I may just use your design on this one.
Wow!!! The details in this video are amazing!!!
Amazing series! THANK YOU! I have been working with a local carpenter and I am blown away how difficult it has been to discuss/debate/conclude on how to build it. I don't have the skills or space to build them at home. (although your video gives me confidence i could do it – your hours estimate might need to be x2 but you made it seem easy). Thank you… will absolutely be sharing this and telling them.. DO THAT! Love your OCD… knowing the carpenter i hired will not follow your hints and my doors will squeak. ha! GREAT JOB! GREAT VIDEO! You should do this for a living!!! Excellent craftmanship is hard to come by these days!
Really a great instruction video. The whole hunting community thanks you.
Very well detailed plans. Only thing I'm going to change is I'm going to extend the side frame members(also go to 2×8 framing) to 10' and add a 4' landing. Making it easier to access the door. Otherwise a great stand. I also bought a Krig Jig and on the wall studs installed pocket screws on the bottom. Really helped for stiffening up the walls.
Did it keep the critters out?
I have to make one for next season
This was an awesome video. Thank you for sharing and even detailing the dimensions as you went and the sketches at the end of the video.
This is awesome! Great detail and instructions!
after using it how has the windows worked out. also was the height of the windows ment for a elevated stand or will they work for it being on the ground.
Do you have a link with pictures of the measure? Like illustrations at end of part 2 that I could down load?
Do you build and sell blinds for people I really like the way this looks and don’t think I would be able to build one
Brett…love your build…it looks like you have a 10" overhang–how is that working out (would you make it any longer or shorter)?
Dude! Your Awsome! Thanks!!!
Absolutely wonderful video and detail… thank you! Many great ideas shared. Post a pic of the deer you take from this beauty!
Great 2 part video you made. Thanks for taking the time to do this for us DIY guys. Will be slowly building my 8×10 octagon in the garage off how ypu did yours. Taking a few ideas from you. Thanks man cant wait to get it done to hunt with the family.
Great videos on this Brett. I built one last fall and plan to build a few more.
This is a awesome blind. Thank you for sharing
A very nicely built blind. I love the way you pay attention to details and you try to be very efficient.
