It’s times like this that the KZbin “thumbs up” just doesn’t capture the sentiments accurately enough!👏🏼🥳😎🎉 Congrats! Super awesome!!

[@WineberryHill]

Wow, thank you!

[@gomanbox]

Great job LP! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

[@WineberryHill]

Thanks! I will still be posting a separate "update" video to cover the final stuff I did since the last video.

Наш зять начал строить такую же баньку.Спасибо , что поделись❤Удачи в ваших новых проектах

[@souloukex6680]

Excellent solution. My greetings from Greece

[@WineberryHill]

Thanks for watching!

[@comeflywithme8234]

That's some hard work sir. Hats off to you. Great job.

[@MicrobyteAlan]

Good build, looks great. All the way to the end 😊 7:40

[@WineberryHill]

Thanks! 👍

[@philkeene3138]

Found yor hill stairs tutorial as im in the process of starting some, then found this, as im reaching the end of the garden reno and have lots of pallets... I now know how im using them, great content buddy thanks for the inspiration!

[@WineberryHill]

glad I could help… Thanks for watching!

[@Del-kosto]

I love the baby awning you did, makes the whole build looks complete and detailed👌

[@slartibartfast9236]

Just discovered these. They are great and the building style suits my location. The music reminds me of Firefly.

[@patriciaharmon1215]

I love beautiful woodworking

[@WineberryHill]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@BungalowSchmidt]

Love the tutorial and I'm working with my husband to plan our own but I wanted to get your feedback on your wood stove choice. Of course, there are "traditional" wood sauna stoves that are $2k or more but I see you used a small camping wood stove. What made you choose that? All your resources or feedback is welcome. Thanks!

[@WineberryHill]

The size of that stove was perfect for this build.

[@Kirtapp91]

Love the minimalistic build! Sceptical about the upper floor on top of the stove. Not to hot for the ass? A sauna aught to have stones to throw water on, it's not a drying room (even though it's good for that as well). Looks a biiiit like you have some stones there in the metal box on top? You talk a lot about the thermal mass in the green house videos. In a sauna, that's where the stones come in. "Throwing water" aka "löyly" is an essential part of sauna. Does that work? And how does that work with the upper sitting level? Steam is quite hot... 160°F = 73°C (i assume F?) is really bit to cold for a sauna. Many people say it should go to a 100°C. I find that a bit over the top. But 85°C = 185°F i personally find needed. Can you reach that? Seen many people discuss that one should have aluminum folie to reflect the heat back in. This is purely thermodynamically debunked and bullshit. Except if placed by the stove. Inside th walls is irrelevant. But a moister barrier is needed for the wood not to get to soaked or trapped. Does that fill the function or what was the thought? So, don't want to give a negative impression of my comment here. Love the build and would love to try to build it myself. (Especially cool with the small stove!) Just curious about the part above! History: Northern swede with ties to Finland, living in Germany for some reason.

[@WineberryHill]

Honestly I couldn’t be happier, the upper bench was just right, not too hot…etc. I keep a laser thermometer gun in there to tract the temps, the hearth area works exactly as planned. Yeah, the water on the sauna rocks works great. That said the upper range of temperature is 165f. This is likely a limitation of the stove size….which can be changed if someone wants to install a bigger one or a different kind. the sauna hold the temperature very well…so the stove is the hinge point.

[@sbogkisi]

that´s beautiful! wow :) just was wondering - does this hat up enough? the stove seems small for the space :) was just wondering. i am to build a sauna at my father´s summerhouse, and will upcycle as much as possible

[@WineberryHill]

It heats up like a champ! We typically use it at 135-140˚ for an hour or so each night.

[@frumpywonkmeyer4518]

man that's fantastic, and a really fun design. This inspires me to try something like that. Now if I could just find the money and time. Thank you for the video.

[@tammyjacks9597]

Thank you for posting a logical method that I could be able to follow with little experience. I did have a question. Can you use cement instead of gravel? Or is gravel cheaper and easier to work with?😊

[@WineberryHill]

On the stairs? Gravel is better because it allows water to drain off. cement would eventually cause the structure to fail, because it’s too heavy.

[@alexgilbert2725]

Wow so many impressive little steps and extras added!

[@WineberryHill]

Glad you liked it!

[@bnuggg]

I've been waiting for this update! Awesome!

[@WineberryHill]

Thanks! I will still be posting a separate "update" video to cover the final stuff I did since the last video.

[@aislingdanwallace2201]

Looks amazing congrats on a excellent job done.

[@Momoland-r5g]

Great job !!! Where can i buy the heating mechanism?? Can I use an ordinary stone?

[@WineberryHill]

Thanks, here is the Vevor WOOD STOVE: amzn.to/3xltXUW

[@adamthorvaldson7099]

Amazing result, for sure!

[@rwdoyle0726]

Amazing

[@WineberryHill]

Thanks

[@marladillard8721]

Great result!

[@cindycollins4040]

Love it

[@theharms1037]

Nice. What a great project.

[@SweetBear-x2g]

This guy is awesome! Keep it up, dude!

[@WineberryHill]

Hey, thanks…you made my day with this comment!

[@JF-kb6bl]

You went with just foil lining and no insulation. . Happy with the results? Or would yiu have insulated if you did it again? Currently planning my own

[@WineberryHill]

100% I did a ton a research on this point and discovered that insulation wasn't as common as I thought it would be. I guess this is because insulation is more about holding heat over a longer time period. We tend to use the sauna for maybe an hour or so at a time. Not having insulation also lowers the risk of accidentally trapping moisture, that could cause problems in the future.

[@57kwest]

I shared your video with everyone I know 😅.. Even ppl that would never build a lego box 😅

[@WineberryHill]

...because you rock! Thanks for the support!

[@andriytsykhulyak6507]

I wonder would this thing tip if two people were to sit and lean back on one side of it?

[@WineberryHill]

…rock solid, even with everyone sitting on one side.

[@SC-mf1gc]

Ive never seen such clean and new pallets

[@viralshortz1584]

Need you at my house ASAP ,no Diddy

[@WineberryHill]

lol

[@bigike8661]

so, no worries about the pallets possibly treated with chromated copper arsenate or Methyl bromide?

[@WineberryHill]

Nope I always make sure that I’m using HT or KD marked Wood. That said it’s really beside the point because there is a vapor barrier that separates the structure and exterior of the sauna from the interior cedar, sort of like exterior or the roof of your house. Doesn’t really matter because you’re separated from them..

[@iwejun]

No insulation between foil backing and outside walls?

[@WineberryHill]

The main reason for insulation is to hold heat for long periods of time. When I started doing research I discovered that many classic Scandinavian saunas didn't have insulation...so that plus the savings lead me toward not insulating.

[@TaylorBurrington-qz7mh]

What a build!!!

[@MAD42]

just great man.

[@michaellane1316]

Nice, Thinking about building one.

[@zero6269]

Love the Build! Hope to see a follow up video on how it works. I'm wondering what it'll be like sitting over the stove and how well the concrete keeps the heat off of the interior wood.

[@WineberryHill]

Honestly I couldn’t be happier, the upper bench was just right, not too hot…etc. I keep a laser thermometer gun in there to tract the temps, the hearth area works exactly as planned. I’ll talk more about it in the 4th update video.

[@zero6269]

@@WineberryHill Sounds Great! Looking forward to the update.

[@ralfbrouwers5585]

Do you have blueprints and what was the total material cost?

[@WineberryHill]

I’ll be posting another video when the plans are released

[@davidmolina7301]

Blueprint?😢

[@WineberryHill]

Coming soon!

[@eddgar-ce3md]

Just be aware, some pallet wood is treated with the toxic chemical methyl bromide, which is one of the reasons it's given away for free. You need to pay attention on the markings, if it has any.

[@davidmolina7301]

So No Blueprints?

[@belindadunne4312]

Wow! Boss!! 👍🏻👍🏻🤩

[@WineberryHill]

Thanks! 😃

[@BENLINUZ]

Looks good

[@resheaparker2725]

How hot does it get? And how long does it take to get up to temp?

[@WineberryHill]

i’ve gotten it up around 160f, but normally I prefer it around 130f. Takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to get to that.

[@DenvyLarson]

I went Electric because I will be using it 3-to 4 days a week.

[@WineberryHill]

Nice!

[@brandonmaki6114]

Curious, maybe I missed it.. but is this secured to the ground at all? Or is it so heavy that there’s no chance of someone on one side, rolling it lol.

[@WineberryHill]

…rock solid, even with everyone sitting on one side.

[@MrBrandomized]

sorry where does teh chimney go?

[@WineberryHill]

Out the back

[@elyssiap]

It’s seems like this project was transformative for you in more ways than one. 🧔🏼‍♂️

[@newbluerugby]

Serious question: how on earth is that not going to constantly get invaded by rodents? …especially with that air-pocket
