Building a Beautiful Log Sauna (Start to Finish)

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

*This is the full build, it will make it easier to follow the complete project as the original was put out in several parts. Enjoy!*

[@f1s2hg3]

I hope you have better weather soon neighbors!

[@tigar0485]

Thanks Chris & Kevin!

[@LadyBlueRR]

Man I just love your brothers quirky personality!!!! And it's just amazing how he is able to turn another man's trash to this beautiful treasure!!!!!!!!!

[@TripleG69]

You need to go get some of those rocks they took out of the pond when the pond got enlarged Love the build. Beautifully done!

[@Freetalkfm]

Best one yet 😎

[@elleb1177]

You are using my moniker: there are no problems only solutions, I have lived my whole life this way. You are the first one I've ever heard use this phrase and live by this. Your videos are amazing, I love the humor, many blessings Elle and Colorado 🌹🙏🌍

[@tiencothern5770]

It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.

[@ryancaltabiano2892]

It's incredible seeing this torn up plot of land turning into an amazing homestead over the course of time. You guys do amazing work, keep it up! Have an off the grid village at this rate lol

[@Cataracta]

Wonderful Sauna.. i used to go to Finland and enjoy it every day.. i missing it so much. I appreciate that you always elaborate your thinking and reasoning behind it, not just building without explaining the context. :)

[@cosmicbrambleclawv2]

As a North Carolinian who hates the heat, 75 is definitely "sauna weather" for me 😂 especially right now as cold as our winter has been lately Id be glad for a nice 75 degree sauna lol

[@FunfindersX]

That Don was completely dangerous on ice His stick hanging ROCKED!!!!!!!!! Nice job Don Cheers

[@williamwalsh3779]

You got your own little village shaping up nicely..so cool to see the journey.

[@reedharshman7903]

You need your own television series of what you do because you are a model homesteader

[@kingrafa3938]

I enjoyed watching this build from start to finish and I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy this also. Putting the whole build in one video with an hour and 22 mins long is a bonus 👍🇵🇭

[@sayanmaster6150]

No matter what i still watched the original and the latest video!

[@judyhale8170]

Love your matchs. You make it look so fast.

[@lazaromanalo6968]

Wow beautiful! No one cn ever think how to do that sauna.

[@mrlilrip10]

“sauna and some fear” that alone got a sub and thumbs up from me🤣👏🏼

[@michaeltroyswanepoel6917]

you guys got so much more to look forward to in USA than we got in South Africa. i enjoy projects like you doing too but it could cost me R100000s of randsfor each 1 of yours here. So truly enjoy and think of me too while you busy. God bless you all...

[@Sinceretic]

the word you're thinking of is löylyä :) as a Finn I approve of this sauna

[@Cryzk_]

I love seeing people be resourceful and I feel like people forget that you can get things for really cheap or even free by just asking nicely

[@stellanevis3107]

Mr. Cumberbatch did it again! What an amazing build! Your ingenuity deserves millions of viewers!

[@olivetree8163]

Thank you for bringing my childhood dreams to life with all these amazing builds. 🤩 …plus watching you all roll a giant metal pipe through the woods has extremely high entertainment value. 😂

[@ModernSelfReliance]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ronimuilu2540]

That is a beautiful sauna there! :) Your other builds are amazing as well and entertaining to watch. Greetings from Finland!

[@hillbillywisdom777]

Love all the Builds in the village ! Especially the sauna. Can't wait for the hot tub build.

[@lazaromanalo6968]

You are the most creative person i watched compare to most vloggers.

[@judyrowen9194]

The sauna is great! I am so impressed with how it turned out.

[@sandratweedale2579]

The whole time you’re explaining the technical details I’m going “huh”. I was definitely at the back of the class and cried through math class! But! I enjoyed every minute of your efforts. Have you thought of using your “village” as a B & B, I’m sure a night in the cube then sauna, all the things you’ve suggested would find a market. What a super place for your adorable girl to grow up in. 🥰🇨🇦

[@cristian2774]

Your videos are shot very well. I appreciate a video without music as it feels like being inside the scene. Your works are all very beautiful. Keep it up!

[@pohtech]

Hello from Finland. Its called LÖYLY, (when you throw water on hot (kiuas/stowe). Good work man and great projects you have :)

[@detrapayne61]

You do some amazing and inspiring work and I cannot imagine doing it in freezing weather like you work in. I raise a warm cup of hot chocolate to you guys.

[@retiredyeti5555]

Did not know that you had your own channel until I stumbled on this video during a rainy day search of KZbin. Like how you used items that you found or were given to improve the build, especially the old boiler. That sauna is a beauty! Now I have to watch other vlogs of yours to catch up! I am a scavenger myself, of items that others throw to the curb, that I realize may have some use left in them, or that I can adapt to my own uses. Being retired and on a tight budget, necessitates that attitude. I absolutely hate seeing good wood thrown away - I have louvered folding doors on my basement workshop and my wife has laundry cabinets, and a sewing cabinet that I improvised from a discarded bathroom vanity, all found at the curb.

[@jamaldaniels7402]

Love your channel had to come back and watch this build. I just rewatch other videos as well. Keep the projects coming

[@stevecarey6186]

Love your work. You are personally responsible for me starting 12 projects 😄

[@ModernSelfReliance]

Hope you finish them all!

[@stevecarey6186]

[@petemckenzie7754]

You can steam sum fresh vegetables thanks for sharing your family video this Labor Day weekend 2021

[@trio_gg]

Just found this channel and I am completely obsessed with your videos. Cannot get enough of this.

[@ModernSelfReliance]

Glad you like them!

[@c-lat-itsme9354]

This was an absolutely amazing build to watch come to life with items you've just picked up along the way. You truly are a genius with incredibly creative ideas. Thank you for sharing valuable lessons explaining tricks of the trade & demonstrating amazing wood working skills. Your commentary & interjecting episodes of having fun playing around in between the phases of this build only made it that much more enjoyable! I really hope you get good use out of your sauna & continue sharing your projects! Awesome job!

[@juliemagill9451]

Having fun fun fun tell Daddy took guardian Angels away. Thanks enjoyed them. Annie

[@jayedeebriggs9880]

That's absolutely brilliant.

[@sammy4395]

Just discovered your site and am enjoying watching your videos immensely !

[@michaelosborne4050]

Super job bud .. your a genius … between an artist snd a scientist somewhere … well done sir …

[@Riesa87]

Perfect time to watch this. Me and my partner just arrived at the lake cabin a moment ago. She went to the sauna to make fire and carry water and I'm making some bread with just butter and open fire roasted salmon. Relaxing evening after hard few weeks of moving (me moving from west coast of Finland to eastern border).

[@ModernSelfReliance]

sounds amazing!

[@vongimbelgroup]

I am doing my 5th tile job with that schlueter system. I love it. especially the shower pans.

[@ModernSelfReliance]

It's great stuff!

[@austinupshaw629]

I’m here for all the voices and sound effects. I was not disappointed 😆😆😂😂

[@leighalmond4128]

2nd batten up on your right above your head when you lied down sprang out at the end. Love your channel and all the inventive things you come up with!

[@elysebeshara7027]

Loves the use of your chain sawing! Lol... also loves that you reuse stuff!!!

[@idajessihall3215]

You build the most awesome things! You a genius!

[@jasoncook2294]

I like your energy man. Good Vibes.

[@glammaam6518]

I may or may not need a break from watching your videos lol Hubby is getting frustrated with all the projects I keep adding to our bucket list haha. Keep up the awesome content :)

[@ModernSelfReliance]

One project at a time is key!

[@Kefoo_]

-- Beautiful Ashe planks. Nice work. Miss the northern winters; skating, sledding, walking in woods at night after a snow. (Most of Texas ain't got none.)

[@harukasatou1359]

This channel is just about the most manly one on all of KZbin. Good job dudes.

[@novabxnynova5381]

Your channel is awesome 👏. I don’t know why I watch building shows when I’m not working, but I love your creations, it’s awesome, I would love to eventually buy some land and be able to build wherever I want, but living in NYC as a carpenter doesn’t allow that currently, hopefully in the future. Keep up the good work

[@potatochipblueberry]

Just found this channel and I’m now a huge fan. I love the energy! I may not exactly understand everything you’re explaining, but I sure do enjoy watching it and trying to figure out how you’re gonna make something work

[@deahnagarrett]

This was awesome, It makes me for sure take a different look and approach materials

[@richardcull4126]

Seen every episode on the build but watching the full build is very cool 😎

[@delerium2k]

This channel rocks. Can you attempt a structure that uses no plastic or petroleum based materials? For example hemp insulation, hempcrete

[@terrywilson8709]

Their quacks are shivering it's so cold!!

[@RaiderShane]

my grandpa started a steam and sauna business in Colorado, AAA Steam & Sauna. it is still in business today, as far as i understand you must use specific rocks, ones that don't contain moisture because if they do they will have a potential to explode when heated. just my two cents, love the videos!!!

[@RaiderShane]

funny i just wrote this and then your video came to the part when talking about the rocks

[@SWEET-2381]

Riding the insulation bags down the hill tho... haha I wana try!!!! That was great!!!

[@ronamber5628]

This is the lost art of "Shoot from the hip." Too many people nowadays think that everything has to be done by code, using the latest, greatest, name brand stuff...We would all love to be able to afford that. Like 40$ 1/4" OSB sheathing, lol, and that KY prices. Can't imagine prices elsewhere. Just wanted to say great work guys! Keep building the way God intended!

[@susanorman4300]

I absolutely love your builds. Each is well thought out and much attention given to detail.

I enjoyed watching you build your sauna .....

[@aaronperry5948]

Best sentence ever! "We're gonna put a chimney on Jupiter." OMG that made me laugh way to hard. I love you videos content and commentary. Keep up the great work man!

[@ModernSelfReliance]

Glad you like them!

[@shenardbraxton5048]

You should take one of those pipes and put it in the middle of the creek and make a chill spot once you drop it in the water you seal it at the bottom and you pump the water out the tube

[@virginiawallace6966]

You are hilarious from the get go........I loved it!

[@loripretti843]

I love watching your videos! You are a very intelligent man with lots of knowledge. Not that I'm ever going to build anything but if I ever need to I can!!! Thank you!!!

[@AlChafeMYBACKSTEP]

I got to say you do amazing work, everything you've built has been no less then five star resort quality, I can't wait to see what you got planned for your next project, keep up the great work, be safe and have fun

[@Ruka_Io_Vidya]

I have similar crank windows to the ones you installed on the sauna and they're too low where I end up scraping my knuckle against the window sil cutout when trying to open them lol I love the finished sauna btw

[@willomit958]

Love it!! Actually saw that your heater was a german „Kanada-Ausführung“ which translate to canadian version. 😃

[@deice3]

That is a great looking Sauna. The stove might be a bit underpowered for the size, optimally you'd want heat in the 180F-210F area, and the rocks shouldn't lose heat when you throw water on them - it should flash evaporate. Hyviä löylyjä! - have a good time throwing water on the sauna!

[@Ray-Willey]

I envy your carpenter/woodworking skills!

[@LUCKY-mo5ex]

Awesome build. I think that I’m going to try and build a square one in my woods beside my creek.

[@hamimahatan3325]

Tqvm for sharing … you made it looked so easy .. Enjoyed watching 💞

[@crystalemeralddiamond9571]

This had me riveted to the big screen watching you build this and making it look like a piece of cake when it most certainly isn't (although it looks like it's dusted with icing sugar on the outside with all that snow!) Loved your video. An amazing project.

[@ModernSelfReliance]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mariemcgillen7401]

you are a genius. I love it

Can you imagine how many beans would fit into that can? 😎 Your videos are amazing.

love watching you but really hope you plantand grow new trees for the future

[@buildfixflip]

Haha! The insulation as a sled was hilarious! This turned out amazing and we love your personality. Your videos are very informative but also very entertaining! We are building our own sauna for one of our glampsites and we might have to make the next one like this! Very cool- keep up the good work!

[@STUFFWEDO]

Thanks. You guys are masters of engineering. I really enjoyed this.

[@kenshores9900]

That is quite unique. I would have never thought of using insulation as a sled.

[@cmac9479]

Such a cool video! Great idea

[@trumpit9449]

Well done guys great build it looks done very professional

[@dianammiller3333]

My hubby and I watched you and your brother build the original cabin, and make maple syrup. The hubby watches your brother off and on. Today we watched this entire build from start to finish. It was pouring rain outside today, so had time to watch. Really a nice sauna build - like how you scavenge and improvise items for your own use. Now I know why my hubby scavenges items from the curb, and hates to see useable items going to the landfill. Enjoyed watching this video.

[@dawnkangas2968]

Absolutely amazing

[@heidinystrand1904]

I wonder where you plan to shower and or wash up, you're bound to be very sweaty after a session in the sauna! Btw an impressive build!

[@scottmckenzie3864]

fantastic job

[@allenenabnit7078]

I’m surprised you didn’t use a steel tube to make into a mobile camper that might be a fun one to see what you could do love to see that. Also wish that sauna was in my backyard

[@russellwatters5891]

They call that an "Airsteam" 😆

This is so cool! Love your videos bro

[@Cyrus_Miyuki]

Can confirm that the stones used are granite. Some of those look hella sharp though... I'd either warn guests not to touch them, or try to polish them off a bit if possible to give them a smoother edge (if you have a rock tumbler laying around, this shouldn't be an issue for you). Loved watching this video, I feel like I'm watching one of these everyday at this point. lol

[@rainydayz555]

So much happiness in one video! 😊

[@WSallai]

As amazing the way the "culvert" sauna turned out, I was disappointed that the entrance did not have a round door like found in Hobbit homes. Probably impractical as the hinges would have been complicated, but it would esthetically pleasing and whimsical. Imagine coming out of the woods to see it for the first time! Anyway, this is an excellent example of making due with what you have and making it look like it was planned that way from the start. Love that mill of your's and the Kubota earth machine.
