WOODWORKING, MAKING ACEDAR HOT TUB Part 2!!!

[@hvrtguys]

Friend of mine built one of these in the 70's. The straps got stretched out when the wood expanded. The fix was to use longer bolts and put heavy duty valve springs on both ends.

[@warlockcommandcenter]

As I said earlier I worked designing redwood hot tubs in in the 1970's we did use redwood and to a lesser extent "red tide water Cypress". One out of 100 tubs was Cypress this was remilled used wood, we also used redwood wine tanks some we had built in the 1930-40's and removed in the 1960's resold and removed again. Then remilled in to hot tubs. This tub looks great sure to an old school round hoop guy flat hoops look off plus we tighten hoops from the chime up

[@icewater7586]

Making a hot tub in winter, very smart enjoy the view outside without getting cold

[@josephkerley363]

Years ago we built one out of redwood ... soooooo much fun, especially in the snow!

Como alguém pode dar deslike ne um trabalho incrível como este..

[@dan_zehner]

Looking at building one of these myself! Thanks for the great video!

[@8056443232]

DANGER DANGER DANGER - you seem to have only put one suction fitting through to the pump inlet (the suction side). A person can easily get stuck on that - please please please - add a T fitting and a second suction fitting. If somebody or something gets trapped on one suction, they can pull off as the system simply draws from the other suction fitting. I put one on the wall and one on the floor if I can to keep even safer. If not, simply go a bit farther around the tub - three feet is a minimum. I'll send you the parts if you need - free - just to be sure you stay safe.

[@BlackPete...]

Great tip. Thanks for that.

[@fpmmichael342]

You actually beat me to that. I just saw the episode and was like "Danger Will Robinson...Danger" Those pumps give you amazing hickeys if you are not careful.

[@SuperKingslaw]

Wow. The new Samurai Quality video.

[@hippoandbearmakes3416]

That is a monster of a hot tub! Fantastic!

[@vaughtinternational3]

With my budget I had to scale it down and now I’m standing in a oak whisky barrel freezing my nips off! Happy Thanksgiving Samurai

[@briancarroll3288]

Not sure where you are but that electrical disconnect box I believe is to close to hot tub it's self. Just thought I would chime in, if it's nothing, it's nothing, safety first right, seen you boy there with you, great job. 5 ft min distance unless barrier between tub and electrical, be safe, have fun.

[@VanlifeReality]

I hope you keep these videos up, these are what i want to base my house off of

[@StefanGoersdorf]

Thats a pretty cool tub. Enjoy it. Relax and keep on roling. Im exited to see mor of your stuff. Its god to see you back in line after the hard times.

[@bukatasv]

Great project!

[@nisaaby6193]

We also have one of our own. In our setup we use a wood oven with steel sides as a heater, and a water pump taking cold water from the botton, to the top spewing it out on top of the oven. Also we have a fence going around the steel oven, to make sure its not toutched by actident.

[@shelterskelter]

I have an old stainless steel milk pasturizer vat. Round 5 ft by 3 ft deep. Gonna clad it in wood and build cedar seats inside and use a HERMS/RIMs coil to heat it with wood. Not as fancy but should work

[@RR-qk9zu]

Just make sure to keep your protein rest below 118.

[@honeybadgerisme]

You could try to do a coating on the interior to make it last and use salt water filter instead of chlorine which should decrease how fast it starts to deteriorate. Powder coating requires enough heat, but would be ideal, same with porcelain coating....Good luck! Sounds relaxing.

[@chuckpechan]

Don't forget to put the level away!

[@makingwithsteve]

@the samurai carpenter how is it holding up over the years? I'd be interested to know how untreated cedar would age in this scenario. Beautiful build as always!

[@JewShady]

I agree. We need an update video

[@marcelvanderley2523]

Look amazing!!!!!!! Can you use any type of wood for this? Here in The Netherlands Red Cedar is way to expensive. I was thinking to use Douglas or even pine? And how do you calculate the angle for the sides?

[@biguprochester]

I do a lot of cedar shake siding. Sometimes there’s a flair on the first three courses. We soak the boards in garbage bins over night with water. I always wanted to bottle it and use it for cologne

[@albertkelly7129]

lol nice

[@rbakerphoto1]

So glad to have found your channel. Great stuff.. inspiring for this DIYer. Thanks man, keep it up!

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

The other 3 dudes horsing that tub into position all looked suspiciously Samurai-esque. Brothers? Great job, by the way! Very nice!

[@Mittamies]

Beautiful tub.

[@bradleyvierkant2333]

So the burning question, what was the cost of cedar for this build?

[@canadajointops]

Bradley Vierkant do tell

[@biguprochester]

Do some maths. It’s x per board ft and x board ft.

[@Deutschehordenelite]

​@@biguprochester so Id say about $3.50

[@robertorr2878]

Deck my ass... that was a well hidden-cry for more money- house renovation.

[@honeybadgerisme]

@Robert Orr yeah, but can you blame him? Have you seen the cost of lumber lately?

[@CharleyThePlumber]

I just bought the cedar for my future hot tub

[@EricSorensenCanada]

Beautiful Hot Tub Jesse! Samurai Hot Tub Gazebo next?

[@Monticello28]

Your school kicks ass man. I’ve learned so much. Thank you

[@robbepinsart4240]

Many questions concerning this build: 1. Are iron straps just oké to keep the water from flowing out? So no woodglue? 2. Why don't use any oils or varnishes to protect the wood? Doenst the cider gets affected over time?

[@christianvolker5694]

May another wood work also? A cheaper sort?! Any recommendations? Geat work!!!

[@acanadianwoodworker]

That honestly looks like you could fit five whole families and their respective pets in there

[@PH3N0MONAL]

Is there a reason for not applying a finish to it? It will turn grey.

[@bobmcboberson816]

He's STILL renovating lol, the never ending renovation

Very nice! You can enjoy this all year round!

[@pollyg562]

yes i can imagine the tactile,and sensual feeling from the cedar would make fiberglass look like a very poor second

[@davecarter4129]

So amazing Jesse!

[@michelevitarelli]

That is some perfect lumber! Great project and video. Thanks for sharing.

[@amyyaal]

its been a long time since i gave you a like but this time you deserve it.

[@dedalliance1]

You should build an inverse one and then use it as a circle raft down a river, that'd be fun.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Happy Thanksgiving to the Samurai family. That hot tub looks sooooo relaxing. Wish I had the money for the build, I'd love to have one. Nicely done, Jessie.

[@30975939]

Great vid Jessie, would you mind sharing how you did the heater + pump + electric work? I'm a bit stuck in that one

[@Tiger90Drake]

couple of questions: how are you gonna prevent freeze if it's gonna be filled all winter? how do you heat it?

[@Lael121]

Don't think we didn't notice the Rice Krispie treat!

[@Noble909]

Now build some cedar recliners to sit inside!

[@Okrahm]

amazing work as always samurai

[@ktfuimaono5797]

Amazing dude! 🙌🏾✨

[@otter1996]

is it maintained as a normal fiberglass hot tub? chemicals used? if you were to not use it during winter would you drain it completely? thank you for any info. I LOVE your videos my hubs and i are shop warriors when we can be.

[@carycleland9506]

Man this is stunning. Great job.

[@bosse641]

Very nice.

[@OMCbuilt]

So do you just squat in it? Any plans for seats?

[@surlycanadian]

I would say that he's sitting flat on his butt on the bottom. The tub looks to be only about 30" tall and with the floor probably being 2.5" thick and about the same distance up from the bottom of the sides, I'd say the water is only about 25" deep.

[@OMCbuilt]

Very true, I looked back and you can tell when they are carrying it around to the back yard that he could sit on the bottom just fine. I'm sure he will build some seats for the kids though!

[@warlockcommandcenter]

I work in the 1970's designing redwood hot tubs the best way is to make the seats is without screw using dowels made of the same material as the seats, use silicone rtv as the glue you'll need a dowel making die plate. 1/4" will due but 3/8" is a better size due to the weight of the material. You can make the dowel die by drilling a series of holes in a steel plate and filing progressivly the holes square then push the wood through the dies until round.

[@charltonbarnes2953]

What are the dimensions of the fully assembled hot tub? What is the internal width and internal height? Have you considered adding a circular bench to the inside (for sitting)?

[@Ace-yf3xf]

Awesome!

[@coyoteserranoband]

Do your side wood panels have curves?

[@scrout]

Freehands router for the round pipe hole......pucker factor. Knowing me it would grab and write my name on the side in 0.2 seconds. That is a lot of perfectly clear cedar!

[@garrettf4435]

That's awesome!

[@juanzamoradwg]

un trabajo excelente!!

[@DonDomel]

can the wood be paint with the ship lacquer ? As I know this kind of ship paint is water resistant

[@IvoryS2012]

Hi Samurai, sorry if I missed it, did you show how to build the seats for the hot tub? Thanks

[@stevehedin4643]

Beautiful job. Do you have a problem with Rodents nesting underneath? If so, what is your fix for that?

[@buckbuck9225]

Thats very cool

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

Is it possible for the tub to swell, break that metal strap, and whip someone?

[@thegolfdude]

So you’re just doing a squat the whole time you’re in there?

[@lamooky284]

Amazing bro

[@lendishaoops3168]

Which machine are u using to warm the tub? Please do tell

[@denmark219]

Do you have a parts list for the pump/heating elements etc?

[@molegrip3860]

My boss wants to know why I'm (at work) watching a video of a naked Canadian man in a tub of water telling us he's 'pumped'..........

[@MRSketch09]

Lmfao... Well, why are you at work doing this?

[@ramseydarling]

Truly amazing work!

[@angelblizard]

me surgieron algunas dudas. ¿usaste algún recubrimiento? ¿qué ángulo de corte tienen las tablas?. Excelente trabajo cómo siempre. Saludos desde México.

[@patelkrunal311]

Hey man do you mind explaining the science behind how this thing doesn't leak and how it won't go bad given all the water direct contact with wood over a long period of time? I know you know what your'e doing, I'm just trying to learn. This thing will last years?

[@santiagoespina96]

wow,,, nice pool

[@carolewarner101]

How does a wooden hot tub do in terms of being insulated? I see that you have an insulated lid, but how about the sides and bottom? Are you going through a ton more power just to keep the water hot? Are you planning on building any sort of roof cover or are you leaving it out in the weather? It's truly gorgeous...and sounds like it smells heavenly! Thanks.

[@-1-2-1-]

Maybe a wood fired heater/chiminea is in order!

[@burkerow]

My understanding is that 2 inch thick cedar has very good thermal insulation properties. The vast majority of heat lost with a hot tub is not out the sides, it's out the top. So a well insulated cover is the best thing for saving heat.

[@pathyatri7786]

What kind of heater is to be used for heating water? Can you send me the link.? Nice video

[@benembleton8325]

I'm not moving to the island until next fall :( it's more the angles and measurements that would put it all together in my head.

[@WasteyCasey]

I'm sure we're in completely different areas so it'll be quite different but do you mind me asking about how much it costed you to build this?

[@stacysu9131]

Where did you get the giant bands?

[@piratepete-thetruthisforevery1]

Beautiful job eh : ) Did you build seats / benches to go inside? Or are you sitting on the bottom?

[@zentex99]

so cool

[@fabionunessoares2604]

Show!!!

[@thetomster7625]

nice as usual; I would ad some seats though... some thing with not an 90° angle ^^

Awesome

Hi. Nice job . Where are you find your metal strapping ?

What's your heat source? Would this work with a wood fired submersible stove?

[@hugoakerlund5114]

How is the vest protype coming along? Been a while since the last update on it

[@Bekim8310]

I wonder. He didnt treat the cedar wood? How long would a hot tub made out of cedar last?

[@danbarrett6113]

Pretty cool Jesse, what angles on the slats for that dimension?

[@Antmanlv]

hey guess your not just a wood worker, youre a pipe fitter also hehe, nice work bro.

[@Cypher791]

will i need a back yard for this? >_>

[@WimBroeckx-c3m]

Where´s the HOT from the hottub? How do you heat the water?

[@SillyOmega]

I have a qwestions for you. Do you think it's possible to build a dog house with joinery. Sort of like a small scale timber frame. Without the big log timbers.

[@SillyOmega]

Sorry should have put qwestions marks.

[@bsnoonan]

What are you sitting on inside the tub? I didn't see any benches.

[@DataStorm1]

You might want to create a cover so your filters don't have to filter everything out that much from things that fall in when not in use etc.

[@chanceywilczewski8992]

He's got a cover, it's in the background.

[@DataStorm1]

ah, you're right, didn't see it first time watching it. thnx

[@theroyal3-5643]

Not worried about freezing temperatures eh? Need a Colorado winter suitable tub that won’t burst pipes or cost a million dollars to heat.

[@froshproductions]

So how about the siding for your house? 🤔

[@zackfishle1009]

Priorities, man, priorities

[@mike83ny]

Samurai makes it look so easy. I need more practice. And patience.

[@ItsJameszy]

How'd you do the math for the angles? Find the circumference divide for an equal number than divide by 360?

[@WasteyCasey]

I am obsessed! So badly want to make my own!! I'm just an amateur so im genuinely curious, why didn't you glue the boards together around the top?

[@dut611]

There no need to use clue ! The expansion of the Cedar will create enough compression to create the perfect seal! And cluing it together might creat more arm then good
