Nice work, love the antler door handle.

[@smuknugz2431]

could you link where you got that stove from? really nice work man!

[@danielmoore908]

thanks for making it so simple

[@petermcdevitt3984]

What a great job. Excellent looking sauna. I m on the east coast of Canada, looking to build something similar. I hope it turns out as nice as yours. The stove looks excellent. Honestly, the whole project looks excellent. Thanks for posting 😀

[@steezify]

Looks great mate. Get yourself a sauna hat if you haven't already.

[@jimboyprojects2668]

thanks ill look into it

[@kalachylde]

You made it look easy! I hope you're enjoying your awesomely done sauna!

[@jimboyprojects2668]

Thanks for watching

[@danf8036]

Great little project and video. Do you have the DIY plans & materials for this build?

[@jimboyprojects2668]

No plans sorry i just drew it on an a4 then starting building

[@curtisphillips3219]

great job! can you tell us what the dimensions are of the sauna and what that little stove is? (brand, size). Thanks!

[@trevi7250]

How long does it take to warm-up up to boiling point (~100 deg. Cel) from ambient temperature?

[@WesleyAllenNC]

What kind of wood did you use on the interior of your sauna? It almost looks like pine..

[@rileyshambrook5747]

What kind of stain were you using on the interior? Seems like a bad idea for vapour inhalation.

[@JettTheVizsla]

Gday Jim Did you get all them materials for the sauna from placemakers? What type of wood is it if i go in placemakers and ask for it? Such a awesome sauna enjoyed watching this

[@AntjevonStemmVideos]

NICE Sauna, I love it! What kind of oven is this?

[@wallykav1516]

Question bro, is that a high temperature foil you used and also is it un-stained cedar on the inside ? Im wondering is there a cheaper cladding that can be used because cedar is so expensive in nz. Looks great bro

[@leemason4856]

Hey mate nice job. Did you use Douglas fur on the insude

[@bignoiseamplification6370]

Excellent build, top shelf! What make and model is the fireplace, where did you get it please? How long does it take to heat the sauna to 70 degrees? I'm in NZ as well, cheers!

[@jimboyprojects2668]

Hi there, thanks its a MIA Gear stove and sauna rocks in a stainless steel basket ontop.

[@ttr738]

Fuck YEAH to the deer horns on the front! 🥳😂🥳🤩

[@offtherecordnz]

What sort of timber did you use? Where did you source it?(im in NZ) Thanks

[@jimboyprojects2668]

Hi its douglas fir and purchased from a sawmill in Carterton

[@Kristoftri]

Bonjour, avez-vous un plan, ou pourriez-vous vous me donner les sections de bois que vous avez utilisé ? Merci, bon boulot.

[@afsisco]

What kind of lumber did you use for the outer wall? I am looking to build a sauna myself, and I'm nervous that I can only use Cedar for every bit of this project... which would be pricy... I'm seeing people warning about certain woods not only being not as weather resistent, but also emitting toxic fumes if used for a sauna? any insight on this?

[@jimboyprojects2668]

Google best sauna timbers this is douglas fir untreated

[@AtlanticwayExplorer]

Some people place small battens over the vapour barrier, i see and lots of others haven’t, is it not necessary? Im building my own DIY Sauna and i am getting to the Insulation stage now.

[@jimboyprojects2668]

Like a cavity batten? Yes probably a good idea it will allow any moisture to in theory escape.

[@JohnathonGraham-k7d]

It would be great to know where you got the aluminium vapour barrier from please? Can't seem to find it anywhere!

[@jimboyprojects2668]

Im in NZ and brought it from a local insulation company

[@manhiref]

Hi I’m in nz what company did you buy this vapour barrier from

[@andresbranger1]

Can you tell us the dimensions you used?

[@jimboyprojects2668]

Hi is 1.8 wide and 2m long by 2.1 at the tallest point

[@manhiref]

How much did this build cost all up ?

[@jimboyprojects2668]

$3000NZD

[@MaxamillianStudio]

What are the dimensions of your sauna?

[@jimboyprojects2668]

1600mm x 2100mm

[@scratchadams]

Looks like Montana

[@BGHNZ]

New Zealand

[@savonjaakari412]

Never build a real sauna like that. That is a shack.

[@AtlanticwayExplorer]

What’s wrong with it , it looks like a great job

[@LivingOffgridBulgaria]

It's a great job indeed but the ventilation problem will be visible in a couple of years... It's a great thing but lack of ventilation will start decapitation of the wood from inside and the mold collection which is super unhealthy for health ...I like the silver insolution but it should be just to half up to 3/4 of the wall .

[@BGHNZ]

@@LivingOffgridBulgaria No would yet wood is very dry inside, vents have been installed

[@dimon8588]

Hello mr Jimboy. Absolutely love this project. I have 0 experience in building something like this, but would love to try. Can you please share dimensions via email? Thanks

[@georgiwtf]

I wish I could water a birch broom and stones with a little water
