the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ru-vid.comUgkxD-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!
Oh my! I don't even have the words to tell you how impressed I am with this. Insanely great wood working skills, and video storytelling skills on top of it! You've really impressed me.
Expensive, painstaking, time consuming, exhausting. Yet she created an incredibly beautiful piece of fine wood craftsmanship. Very well worth it I think.
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.
We are building a slightly bigger square tub for inhome (sealing it with epoxy) and use Yellow Cedar. Spend just north of 900 euro on it, so ? 1100 bucks?
@@joeypoortman3312 It is not a good idea to compete about the price. This wooden bucket in this lovely nature enviroment fits so perfectly. Way better than a plastic one. By the way, lots of Onsens in Japan also uses this sort of wooden tubes to provide a hot bath for their guests. Sitting after a stressful day in this thing and watching the nature will be so relaxing that the 2k really don't matter. Remember, you sell the experience, not your product.
I'm really glad RU-vid put this video in my recommended videos today. The way you describe the thought behind all of your actions is excellent content. You have another subscriber. :)
This was amazing. Loved your explanation and im very impressed with your knowledge and "going with it" attitude when you hit a rough spot. That's just how woodworking is sometimes. This was such an ambitious build and it REALLY came together nicely!
I think there's an endless cycle of people who see videos of making a cedar tub who then make their own videos of making their hot tub which inspires others to make their own. Great Job, I'm in that second stage now. Only thing is that I would like to make a square one
@@YSALF Well at least one part of your comment made a little bit of sense. The only one who's projecting though is you with your "creating waves for love" comment, ie unnecessarily projecting your lonely horniness onto a video of a lady building a hot tub which is what makes you sad, lonely and creepy.
Thank you for posting your video. You strike me as one very hard-working person, quite determined to build this hot tub. Thus, I have little doubt you enjoy it very much.
I see a beautiful piece of art that she designed and built with her own hands. She paid $900 for quality knot free wood that will last a lifetime. She said this project came about because a no one would deliver a plastic tub to her location. Her tub is so much better than plastic. Bravo!
Having just hurt my back, this video, particularly the last few minutes, has a lot of appeal. Doesn’t hurt that I have all of the woodworking hardware I need to build this also.
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.
WOW! Such craftsmanship! You make this look so easy (and I know not too many people could do this)! For a minute, I felt inspired to try to build something (not this complex), but then reality set in and I know better, LOL! Really enjoyed watching you build such a bespoke hot tub! Just love it!!!
Some of the comments are ridiculous. If this woman has the skills to build this, don't some of you think she had the skills and knowledge to know the deck needed reinforcing to hold the weight? SMH It's great to see other women build things. Great video Nancy!!!!!!!!!!
I'd really like to see that! I would think you will have to keep close track of where each stave will go but I think that would be awesome! Make a video and post it!
I have skill, and you’ve impressed me. Good wood working, detailed description, and information about all the parts. I feel I could try it now. Except for the price 🤑
This is a super cool build, I really enjoyed you taking the time to go through the construction process in detail. This is an old video, so I’m not sure if this was ever resolved, but as others have mentioned, you need to reinforce your deck for the weight of the tub, as I’m assuming the deck wasn’t built with tub in mind. When framing a house you always double up and sometimes triple up joist where tubs are going to be placed due to the shear weight they place on the floor when they’re filled with water. Shouldn’t be too hard of a fix though if you haven’t already done so. Make sure your deck posts are within safe load capacities as well. Good luck!
wether the deck can carry it or not. What I am mostly amazed by is that in almost every case safety ear plugs were used, also gloves and safety goggles and even a dust mask. This is how it should be done, regardless of being an amateur or professional.
Beautiful looking tub. Do share the concerns raised about the weight on your deck. But looking at your workmanship - dare say you'd have thought of that. Can't help the feeling of envy, both of your talent and view when you're sat in it!!!
I love this and would love to build one myself. If only I had the work space! You're and inspiration for all of us out here who have sawdust in our blood and lust for power tools (and who are gleefully OCD). Amazing!
Awesome work beautiful my mom and dad had one when I was growing up solid wood like that through the years it started leaking so we were told to loosen the straps and jump in sawdust redwood cedar so I bought a board and turned it into sawdust and we tried it and it worked cuz it was going to the cracks stop the water from leaking then you would tighten the straps back up which gave it that extra pretty cool
Nice project. I have done a number of radius cuts and find that using the router mounted to a stick can cut a very clean circle instead of using a jigsaw. And much quicker.
Scrolled down and saw all the other weight comments lol. I guess anyone who has ever built a deck, putting that much weight on it really stares deep into their soul :)
Nancy Quan you are my spirit animal! I'm working on a similar project and had a question for you. I saw in an old documentary about Japanese ofuro tub-making, the carpenter used a brass hammer around the entire edge of the floor, to compress it, and he then attached the staves, which fit quite snugly (i.e. they would have been too tight had he not compressed the wood fibers with the hammer). When water filled the tub, it caused these compressed fibers to re-expand, for a very tight fit. The construction of his tub was a bit different, and it was square, but I wondered if you thought that concept would work here. Thank you--and thank you for the inspiration! (edit: I just heard your line at 9:20, which I'd somehow missed in the first 6 times I watched LOL! Anyway, awesome work!)
Regardless of the peanut gallery comments from lazy cheap skill less people lacking in any sense of pride or workmanship you did a great job and I am sure you are proud of your work everytime you climb in!
So glad this showed up on my feed today. You are an amazing artist. I’m a little envious of your workshop and tools. I have to take my car out of the garage when I work. 😏
Congratulations for a job well done as in passion and using natural and healthy materials in which to find that time for us made of serenity and inner balance: wood is life!
Amazing, what a beautiful creation and what a knowledge you have. Great video to inspire me building something myself for our mountain house in the South of France
Very very nice! I’m certain I can get the cedar for my tub much cheaper! (From BC) Thank you so much for the video! It’ll help me immensely when I build a few fir my land!
I'm not gonna lie. I'm really impressed with how well that turned out. I would've thought it would have been harder to secure it together with the metal bands though. Good Job!
