Anyone catch this on PBS recently?
The guy packed in hand tools without handles, made handles, then used them to build a cabin, furniture, etc.
(He did have another cabin accross the lake to stay in while building his own)
The only store bought things he used to build the cabin were tar paper and plastic sheeting under the moss on the roof.
Even the door hinges were carved out of wood.
He took a wind-up film camera with him to document everything.
It reminded me of modern blogging or posting in the project forum.

(I think the sound is added also)
Jump to 4:10 to get to the making of stuff.
(The narration and sequence of this video is mixed up from the one I saw and gets a bit confusing toward the end.
He's talking about finishing the stone chimney on his cabin while it shows the other cabin that he stayed in while building his)
I find it a bit mesmerizing.
