Building a MODERN SAUNA in a Winter Wonderland - Full Build

Показать описание
In this video I make a sauna from scratch. This detailed DIY video with narration shows the entire process of building this wood-fired sauna. Made from clear cedar panelling and a Huum wood furnace. It heats up in about an hour, or 2-3 fire stokes.
Every step is covered in detail from framing the sauna, insulation, roofing, doors and windows, interior design and build, stone heater install, led strip lights and more.

I love these longer form videos it's really nice to just watch one thing and not have to find other parts in a series or wait for the next part to come out and be left on a cliffhanger

I watched the entire video and only at the end did I realize this was an hour and 30mins long! There's been blockbuster movies I've watched that weren't this enjoyable. Amazing build well done!

Just a pointer on sauna design, It is VERY important to have an intake vent to outside down low behind the sauna heater and an exhaust vent just below the bench. This will allow for air flow creating better regulated heat and believe it or not it will allow for your sauna to get hotter especially with electrical heating elements.

I knew this guy went the extra mile. But I did not expect him to go and make a whole bunch of snow for the video. That is just crazy to me. Your craftsmanship and your attention to detail is phenomenal. Good work as always. Can't wait to see what you do next.

This is one of the most kick ass things I've watched someone build from scratch. The entire design is beautiful.

It’s refreshing to see someone who is willing to spend the extra time and money to ensure a quality build. Not a common trait but a respectable practice in my book. Props to you and your hard work 🙏!

as a Sauna lover and a filmmaker I can only say that I am absolutely impressed how exceptionally well crafted your videos and builds are. But what stands out even more is the heart and soul you put into it. Congrats, this is peak YT content!

Great video, quick tip from a tile installer, with grout, the trick is to clean it once or twice, let it dry for a couple hours, then come back with a DRY rag or paper towel, knock out the dust haze then wipe with a wet sponge or rag. 👍🏻 the haze left from the grout will not come out if you are applying something wet again, has to be dry.

Great video, will build my own sauna one day and will use your video as inspiration. Great work!

Really enjoyed watching the build. Job very well done. For a really good "Sauna Experience" it's very important with good ventilation in a Sauna, we Finns have debated for years the optimum ventilation layout. There seems to be as many opinions as there are Sauna-goers. The latest I have come across and what some technical audits seem to support is that the "fresh air" intake should be above the stove at about 2/3 height of the room. The "exhaust air" outlet should be fairly close to the floor level at the opposite corner from the intake. This arrangement according to the study provides the most "even" temperature for the occupant. Furthermore the feet elevation should be no lower than the top of the stove. An other important thing I didn't see in the build was a floor drain, we Finns tend to use quite a lot of water in the Sauna to drive up the humidity for an unforgettable experience.

The snow really made the final shots - worth the effort, in my opinion. 🤩

Usually saunas have an air intake at ground level near the heater, and an air exit and a higher level. It might sound counterintuitive, but it actually makes sure there's good air circulation in the sauna. Great build!

I really love your videos. I'm WM 78 years old and live in Western Massachusetts, The Berkshires! Being a man who hardly knows the business end of a hammer, I am amazed at what you can do with the right tools equipment, supplies and most of all, your knowledge of building stuff. I'm definitely a fan and will subscribe and support your channel.

I'm so glad you took the time to make the snow, it makes it look really pretty. Also the fact you took the time to explain that you went through the effort is golden.

Thanks for the opportunity to work together on this one, you absolutely crushed the build!

Ps. You had me cracking up at 24:56

Wishing you all the best in 2024!

Drew! This was amazingly well done…. Not only the sauna itself - but the care and effort you put into the video … and the snow making at the end just blew our minds …. Thank you for what you do ! It’s amazing and a gift to this crazy world …. Kindly- Chris and Carla
