Steam Room Build PART 2/2 - Sauna House Build #13

Finishing up the sauna steam room build by fabricating a proper seat from Spruce and Aspen I fell and milled on my homemade band sawmill. Since the wood is still wet it has to dry before I can sand the planks down to smooth finish and anchor them to the frame. But the sauna is already usable as is. Heat shield would be great idea also behind the chimney although it has a shield on it already. Caution never hurts I guess. Thanks for watching and check back for future videos.

Sauna + cold lake is priceless!

Великолепная работа и замечательная сауна! (Great job and great sauna!)

[@El_Maria4i]

Чем она замечательная? Может тем, что она из осп сделана? А может тем, что утеплена пенополистиролом?

[@El_Maria4i]

Хотя внешняя маскировка отличная, согласен.

You're the only one I’ve seen with the foot bench at the correct height! Nice build

[@DanKoning777]

As an observation only not criticism: "You're" = you are i.e., "You're the only one I’ve seen with the foot bench at the correct height!" "Your" means something completely different. It reflects ownership, or the possession of something i.e., "Isn't this "your" car?

Добрый день, чётко работаете, вагонку нужно обрабатывать в парном помещении и рейки на которую прибивать вагонку, да и ещё вагонку плотно загонять в пазы, собираюсь крепить на гвозди. Посмотрел ваше видео, и думаю все таки буду крепить на клямеры.

Молодец. Золотые руки. 👍

[@velolocation6461]

excellent great handiwork

[@strokeyb]

if you apply the "nut-feder" vertically instead of horizontally - you could save time and probably wood because you would have equal lengths of the nut feder rods all over the sauna (but the ceiling, maybe). I prefer also removable benches and floor decks and not fixed, so you may take them out and wash them and the floor in the bottom of them which get very dirty (and may even stink...) with time due to the sweat. These are suggestions for your next sauna. By now you made a nice job. Yossi Behagen, Danmar - Finnsauna, Israel

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Very refreshing and a run in the snow works like the pond does. Enjoyed one of those in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan years ago. Thanks for sharing.

[@dewaynewhitney5703]

Fantastic job Donn. 👍👍

[@rawwu]

Nice work. I suggest to get some 'sauna wax' on the big boards after they are dried. Protects the wood from human sweat and other dirt/moisture.

[@rolfnilsen6385]

I don't remember seeing how the floor grate came out in a later video? Perhaps an easy target would be an update on the sauna. And after all, it is winter so perfect time for firing ut up as well ;-) I am looking at an empty spot beside the house here.. which would be perfect for a sauna. But unfortunately no pond so will have to make do with some other way to take the cold bath.

[@VodHawn]

Hi, I know this is hella old, but I thought I'd ask everywhere; in part 1 you mount the FF-PIR insulation, then you put up the standers and screw those directly into the FF-PIR plates - is this a correct observation? I thought you would have to use screws deep enough to go through the insulation and into the wall at the back? Are the PIR plates really strong enough to carry all that load by themselves?

[@primularossa8976]

Good job but above all a great handsome guy! Congratulations.

[@Rave-agent]

I guess the thirst can come from both directions.

[@mksmthng6692]

Looks cold out there ;)

[@DonnDIY]

It was around 6 degrees Celsius outside. The water temperature also has dropped below 10 degrees I guess. So it's pretty refreshing.

[@автомобилист55]

Happy end , good river

[@alsl8971]

Как говорится, дело мастера боится. Только в России принято шапки вешать и одевать не нагретые перед входом в сауну.

[@fromika]

hi, show how the insulation of the wires was done, because somebody might will cover with aluminium foil directly. :)

[@raincoast2396]

Never wear a necklace in a sauna. A friend was leaning forward for some time, with his cross dangling in front of his chest. When he straitened up he let out a yelp, the cross had branded itself to his chest!

[@alainbannier2096]

super champion

[@BushImports]

I heard the water sizzling but I never saw any steam until you went outside. If you're happy with it, it must be working ok, it looks good , I hope you are able to enjoy it for many years to come.

[@DonnDIY]

It's working well. We got it up to 100 degrees Celsius yesterday. Seven hours later it still had 40 degrees Celsius in there. Holds the warmth pretty well too.

[@BushImports]

Great, I'm glad it turned out well for you. You didn't try to go in it at 100 C did you, that is 212 F I think you would not live long in that sort of temp, that is the temp that water boils at.

[@jeffreymurphy5313]

Are your interior boards pine? I'm building a sauna right now and am debating whether to use pine or cedar for my interior boards. Cedar is a bit more moisture resistant but much more expensive and harder to work with. I'm interested in your opinion about the interior boards and if you think pine would hold up well. Great videos!

[@andreic1755]

some question

[@pablobecerril5863]

Niice! loved the benches! What is the material you used for insulation behind the heater, that you're cutting in min 6:24?

[@davidbeckett6524]

Can you use pine. Is Aspen cheap. All recommendations are saying cedar or spruce. Do you have too have vents for sauna only. Looks Class by the way 😁

[@DonnDIY]

You can use pine on the walls you don't touch since it will produce sticky sap when heated. So using spruce, pine etc is not recommended. Aspen and Alder is preferred since these species are clean and do not emit any vapors or fluids when heated. But I'm no expert, I searched for the info I could and did accordingly.

[@levii.s5413]

Oh my god, look the body!!!

[@ЛампияСамсунговна]

Just saying that maybe cover the heat shield screws? I have heard a story that they may conduct so much heat that screws may ignite the wood behind the shield. Great build anyways!
