This is a pretty epic bath, helped by having a roomy bathroom to put it in. 😊 However, I was a bit disappointed to see that it was nowhere long enough for you to stretch your legs out in. Bathtubs aren't nearly long enough these days. Was room a contributing factor? If so, that's understandable. A shame...but understandable. 😁
Thank you very much much , I hope you’re inspired and one day you give it a try and create something small like a lavatory or a bathtub for birds with this technique 😊
I don’t understand what’s your point , any shape and size can be done with this technique, every customer has his preferences, I’m also building sit in tubs .. 😂
Hi my name is tarsha I was looking at your video and he got me very excited about making tubs cuz I want to do a spa if you have a class or something with hands on I would like to take the class I'm interested I'm eager to learn and I want to change the world so I guess I'll be contacting you when I get ready I love you video keep up the good work
Hi Tarsha I’m so happy that you’re inspired, unfortunately I’m not teaching workshops anymore, but with this tutorial you should get enough information to create your own first maybe small bowl or laboratory, good luck and thank you for your feedback 😊
Where does one get the huge block of foam like that? I suppose I could save all my packing material and glue together and then cut away the shape I need? YA??
I made my first ones 20 years ago exactly as you mentioned and I also used dozens of plastic PET bottles for insulation tests , be creative and improvise with what you have 😅
Daniel, You have inspired / enlightened me. Thank you. I live in Costa Rica too…can you tell me where to look for a big piece of sterofoam? Thanks, Jan
I’m wondering does this have to be built in place as a permanent structure or would it be possible to seal the bottom as well so it could be installed and moved if needed ?
Hi, the tub looks still exactly the same and shows no sign of any cracks, broken edges or leaks, I have done others since this one and I keep using the same technique 😅
Bonjour, Qu'elle idée géniale !! Moi qui me cassait la tête pour trouver comment faire ma baignoire originale, cela me donne enfin des solutions et de l'espoir de pouvoir la réaliser un jour. Je vous remercie pour cette démonstration 🙏😍
As a bathtub enthusiast I really like the project. My only concern is how comfortable it is with those steep walls on both ends and the therefor relatively sharp rims. Can you comfortably soak in there for 2 hours with a book and a glass of wine?
Hello, i’ve been wondering is there something that i could use to make a silky smooth wet look for the bathtub? I’m trying to make a big corner one with steps out of some BCA blocks with concrete mix moulded over since it insulates well. I’m having trouble choosing something tht would give it a wet look like marble.
Think about the wastage of water due to this..use a bucket and mug for bathing... water is so precious.. it will change into non renewable source soon if human made climate change continues like this
Could have saved hundreds of dollars on the foam if you built it from the ground up using adhesive instead of carving out so much of it. I probably run into about 30 - 40 different scenarios a day where I see somebody do something a certain way and think to myself, "Boy, I am an idiot for never thinking of doing it that way" lol
If my mom can teach herself to arc weld and I can teach my girls to sculpt and build, you don’t have to wait for a next time. Take the first step, failure comes with small consequences and big rewards and is open to everyone.
Girl! We got this. I have two houses Im renovating to sell. It’s amazing what I’ve learned to do on my own. Just need another girl to buddy up with. There are some women metal workers and work workers on TH-cam that will blow your mind. ❤
Oh lala that's impressive
Incredible!
Thanks

Thanks, It was the right size for the spot, actually for a Couple to sit mirroring each other and suck their toes it’s perfect I hear 😆🥰
What type of drain do u use?
A pretty regular pop-up drain , this one is copper plated color to match the real Italian design copper faucet
how would this work to build that against a wall?
Quem me dera ter uma dessas. Parabéns, maravilhosa
Thank you very much much , I hope you’re inspired and one day you give it a try and create something small like a lavatory or a bathtub for birds with this technique 😊
Quem sabe? 🙏🏾
What size of Styrofoam did you use?
For this tub it was a 180x60x90cm but the idea of customizing is that you choose any size that soothes your needs
Imagine going through the trouble of a custom tub that you can't even stretch your legs in
I don’t understand what’s your point , any shape and size can be done with this technique, every customer has his preferences, I’m also building sit in tubs .. 😂
Wouldn't it be necessary to use iron mesh to support the layers of dough? Wonderful work!
No it is so incredibly strong structurally with this technique it’s not necessary, I’m doing this since 20years i never had complaints
@@danielgautschi2085 Great to know. Thank you!
Damn, y’all can come to Mexico and blend in
Amazing 🤩 wonderful work 👍
Thank you makes me happy if you’re inspired 😊
how do they deal with that styro dust waste?
I put it in lightweight insulation cement mix Or as filler for non structural spaces 👌🏽💪🏼
It’s very easy to vacuum clean and fill up in bags
Incredible work, stunning
Thank you I’m happy you got inspired 😊
My question is could you just microcement over the existing tub ?
However you gonna do it .. the joy is in the journey.. happy improvising.. good luck 👍🏼
Is the bathtub well today? Still standing? Thank you
Still in an excellent condition, actually more beautiful 😊

There are factories that produce styrofoam in different densities, I prefer high density
Do you list the materials used any place?
Beautiful work
Daniel, You have inspired / enlightened me. Thank you. I live in Costa Rica too…can you tell me where to look for a big piece of sterofoam? Thanks, Jan
When getting into the tub does it feel more like a cast iron tub or a fiber glass/plactic tub?
It feels totally solid
I’m wondering does this have to be built in place as a permanent structure or would it be possible to seal the bottom as well so it could be installed and moved if needed ?
Depending on shape and size, that tub would probably weigh around 100-150kg 😅
Save it, learn and survey about the material. Hopefully not hard to find the material in indonesia… Thank you daniel :D
Where does one get the big block of styrofoam?? I wanna build this
I bought it at a styrofoam/ insulation producing factory , different density available, get high density if available
How has it held up so far?
Excelente
what size of foam block did you start with and where did you source it?
"Title text here" 😂
.. good you’re paying attention to details 😂
Are you still in Montezuma?
Hi. Would you do anything differently now that the tub has had time to cure/settle/crack etc? ✌🏻
Hi, the tub looks still exactly the same and shows no sign of any cracks, broken edges or leaks, I have done others since this one and I keep using the same technique 😅

Сделали гору пластика на свалке и ненадёжную ванну.
I love to do this in an outdoor settings...
Gut gemacht!
Very nice work well done!

C'est tout mon plaisir d'avoir pu vous inspirer avec ma création, j'espère que vos rêves se réaliseront, bisous
How long would this last being that the core is Styrofoam.
Some of my creations are since 15 years in function and daily use and show no signs of any decay

I Love it. Want to built IT by myself
That's hot !

it depends where you live and your water source.
Never
Don’t cry.
Alhamdulillah 😍
Impressive quality! Super elegant!
That’s my always my intension
The greatest concrete bathtub tutorial! THANK YOU!!!! Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship and fancy tub.
Where could I get giant styrofoam blocks like this?
I get them from a manufacturer and I glue the pieces together with ceramic tile super bonder

Would you be willing to share your Concrete recipe? Beautiful work!
Hi that is the intention of this self explanatory nature of this Tutorial 😄 just watch it again carefully and take some notes
@@danielgautschi2085 I did take many notes and rewind many times. I appreciate it! I just dont know the ratios or amounts to use
I hope in another life I’m a man, and I can do stuff like this.
You are so sweet, thanks and good luck and maybe to find another pair of hands for your own project, never give up

Don't have to be a man,some women surpass men
