the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzfaq.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

Having viewed many videos on boat-building, camper/trailer/cabin building, etc., I feel compelled to compliment you on your ability to produce superior instructional videos. So often, I watch videos where the author doesn't mention material types/sizes, bevel angles, fastening techniques, and so on. So, well done, because you are a genuine teacher!

Very nice I am building a dry Sauna out of red cedar that I find in the dumpster at a local wood shop my way when it's complete will look like a jigsaw puzzle of multiple different woods like cherry and Cypress from old new Orleans homes. All free. I'm doing the exact same thing and building a tub like you did. Except I'm making a cold plunge, and I'm using a old freezer to chill the water. Salt water instead of chlorine. Great craftsmanship.
@mcockerham20034 жыл бұрын
I really like the smallish size of your tub. We had a large hot tub when I was a kid that my father would heat by circulating the water through a series of copper tubes mounted over his ceramic kiln when he fired pottery. It would take a long time to get up to heat. As I recall there was always a problem with leaking. we hammered cotton string into the cracks, but I like your epoxy idea better. It must be very rewarding to soak in something so beautiful that you made yourself.

For those saying the tub is too heavy for the deck. Let's do some math (in metric)! The volume of the tub is Area x Height = 1.94599 m^3. The density of water is 997 kg/m^3. That gives us a mass of 1940.16 kg. In Newtons, her tub has a force of 19,032.97N or *19.0kN* acting on the deck. Now, an average patio deck can hold about 243.27 kg per m^2 (from google), but it varies greatly. But let go with this value for now. Assuming the fact that the tub takes up 1.82 m^2, that area on the patio can only take up to 442 kg or 4,343 N or 4.3 kN. *4.3 kN is way smaller than 19.0 kN. I think y'all are onto something here. I hope her deck is strong lmao.* Nevertheless, great project and a well presented video! :)

This is fantastic! I build staved drums, so I recognize a lot of the problems you had to solve. I especially like using the printout of the angle as a gauge... I wish I'd thought of that before I bought a vernier-scale protractor. Oh well... I find that my ripping blade tends to flex enough when cutting bevels that it takes a lot of planing to flatten the cuts out enough for a good joint, so I switched to using a resawing blade on my band saw. The cut surface isn't as pretty, but overall they end up close enough to being straight that cleaning them up is a lot easier. Food for thought if your ever decide to make a staved barrel again. Keep up the good work!

I've taken tanks apart from the 1930's. Although they were mostly made out of redwood then. Either way with proper care and maintenance a wood tank could last a good 30 years or more.
