Oh my! I don't even have the words to tell you how impressed I am with this. Insanely great wood working skills, and video storytelling skills on top of it! You've really impressed me.
Having viewed many videos on boat-building, camper/trailer/cabin building, etc., I feel compelled to compliment you on your ability to produce superior instructional videos. So often, I watch videos where the author doesn't mention material types/sizes, bevel angles, fastening techniques, and so on. So, well done, because you are a genuine teacher!
I'm really glad TH-cam put this video in my recommended videos today. The way you describe the thought behind all of your actions is excellent content. You have another subscriber. :)
That was a great TH-cam video. Super cool, as a woodworker, I learned about something I didn't know anything about, and your voice was calm and informative. Not too much talking, not too little... just right.
American TH-camrs are 9/10 Times over informative. Just like the books written by American authors/professsors/scientists who gets paid by written words. This was a good movie though.
I really like the smallish size of your tub. We had a large hot tub when I was a kid that my father would heat by circulating the water through a series of copper tubes mounted over his ceramic kiln when he fired pottery. It would take a long time to get up to heat. As I recall there was always a problem with leaking. we hammered cotton string into the cracks, but I like your epoxy idea better. It must be very rewarding to soak in something so beautiful that you made yourself.
This was amazing. Loved your explanation and im very impressed with your knowledge and "going with it" attitude when you hit a rough spot. That's just how woodworking is sometimes. This was such an ambitious build and it REALLY came together nicely!
That's something my old friend's dad would love to build. He's a doctor, but woodworking is his hobby. He made a gorgeous floor-to-ceiling cabinet set for his entertainment system.
I think you did a fantastic build! The tub looks so inviting - great location. You explained each phase like a professional - thanks! Hope you enjoy it for many years to follow!
We are building a slightly bigger square tub for inhome (sealing it with epoxy) and use Yellow Cedar. Spend just north of 900 euro on it, so ? 1100 bucks?
@@joeypoortman3312 It is not a good idea to compete about the price. This wooden bucket in this lovely nature enviroment fits so perfectly. Way better than a plastic one. By the way, lots of Onsens in Japan also uses this sort of wooden tubes to provide a hot bath for their guests. Sitting after a stressful day in this thing and watching the nature will be so relaxing that the 2k really don't matter. Remember, you sell the experience, not your product.
Just stumbled across this and i have to say this is an incredibly well presented video, and you did a fantastic job on your design. You should be proud of yourself and this accomplishment. Subbed!
This is fantastic! I build staved drums, so I recognize a lot of the problems you had to solve. I especially like using the printout of the angle as a gauge... I wish I'd thought of that before I bought a vernier-scale protractor. Oh well... I find that my ripping blade tends to flex enough when cutting bevels that it takes a lot of planing to flatten the cuts out enough for a good joint, so I switched to using a resawing blade on my band saw. The cut surface isn't as pretty, but overall they end up close enough to being straight that cleaning them up is a lot easier. Food for thought if your ever decide to make a staved barrel again. Keep up the good work!
Expensive, painstaking, time consuming, exhausting. Yet she created an incredibly beautiful piece of fine wood craftsmanship. Very well worth it I think.
For those saying the tub is too heavy for the deck. Let's do some math (in metric)! The volume of the tub is Area x Height = 1.94599 m^3. The density of water is 997 kg/m^3. That gives us a mass of 1940.16 kg. In Newtons, her tub has a force of 19,032.97N or *19.0kN* acting on the deck. Now, an average patio deck can hold about 243.27 kg per m^2 (from google), but it varies greatly. But let go with this value for now. Assuming the fact that the tub takes up 1.82 m^2, that area on the patio can only take up to 442 kg or 4,343 N or 4.3 kN. *4.3 kN is way smaller than 19.0 kN. I think y'all are onto something here. I hope her deck is strong lmao.* Nevertheless, great project and a well presented video! :)
@@YSALF Well at least one part of your comment made a little bit of sense. The only one who's projecting though is you with your "creating waves for love" comment, ie unnecessarily projecting your lonely horniness onto a video of a lady building a hot tub which is what makes you sad, lonely and creepy.
I'd really like to see that! I would think you will have to keep close track of where each stave will go but I think that would be awesome! Make a video and post it!
Especially the location of that tub too... It's literally in the worst position as all the weight is acting like a lever away from the house... Also, I'm a little bit nervous as this was her last video over 4 months ago... Coincidence?
JustLetMeDrive you out your mind. It’s extremely heavy, and the deck i am sure was not reenforced for such a load. They are also pretty high up as you can see tree tops below her. Not safe.
PreciseAutoSport After I laughed and liked the comment, I saw your comment and reconsidered my support. It ended up reminding me of how people often say: “It must be free 🤓” whenever an item doesn’t scan at the grocery store...
I used to work in NYC on roof top water tanks. Surprisingly, they use cedar as well. They used yellow cedar for roof top tanks. And they do well in the weather. I've taken tanks apart from the 1930's. Although they were mostly made out of redwood then. Either way with proper care and maintenance a wood tank could last a good 30 years or more.
The standard cedar 2x4s are full of knots and are twisted and warped. This is clear vertical grain which has no knots, and the grain is perfectly parallel to the edges of the boards. This is premium wood and it won’t warp like the normal stuff
At the beginning I was curious because it could be a cheaper alternative to buying a normal one. After "the wood alone cost $2000, you lost me. Add in the tools & time to make, and it's definitely not worth it. Looks nice though.
@@AlbiWiedersberg I started life using imperial measurements and it's strange to now consider it archaic. I didn't say it did matter, although I think those still using the old measurements would be better off long term with the superior metric system.
WOW! Such craftsmanship! You make this look so easy (and I know not too many people could do this)! For a minute, I felt inspired to try to build something (not this complex), but then reality set in and I know better, LOL! Really enjoyed watching you build such a bespoke hot tub! Just love it!!!

What an amazing job! You should be very proud of your work! Loved watching your video. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely build and great work. Always satisfying when you make something yourself even if it works out a bit more than buying one.

That’s amazing you’re quite an artist

Thank you so much for sharing this. And, what a beautifully finished hottub. It put a smile on my face and ideas in my mind.
Nicely done. I love wooden tubs. Use to have one with a wood stove too. Loved it. I might put this project on my list. I love the ozonator too.

That was amazing. Should have been on "This Old House".
Isaac Simmons this old tub?
The smell of cutting all that cedar must have been amazing
I'm green with envy.. that you got the skills and knowledge to build this.. awesome!
Really well done video that gave me a good feel for the details. Thanks!
I hope the decking is strong enough to support the more than a tonne of water now sitting on it!

Great job! Looks fantastic! Enjoy your tub!
What I've learned is that a hot tub is just a bucket big enough to sit in.
What do you think a pool is?
@@angryfan370 A bucket big enough to swim in.
A fancy overpriced wooden bucket.
@@KG-yz7tr yee but is little more attractive as a big iron bucket.
@@Chris-rd9ui True...
I like your tone of voice. It makes me enjoy the video comfortably.
fantastic build and you did such a good job of presenting it.
Beautiful! Nicely done.
No video since.... Hopefully there was not a weight issue with the deck!
Nice build! Speaking for those considering building this, how is it holding up 2 years later and how much did this cost all in?
Amazing job! You are wonderfully talented!
That looks amazing. Great job!!
Who else blurted "SH*!" when she said she paid $2K just for the wood? Hahaha
guilty
almost spat out my latte when shes said the cost
Could have paid me 2k I'd have delivered whatever she was wanting by hand for that money.
David Patel i agree man
I said the same thing except prefaced with a "HOLY".
This is awesome!!! Well done. What filter and ozonator are you using?
That tub turned out beautiful! Nice work.

Great work Nancy! Thank you for sharing from Germany.
Very cool build, when it was all said & done.
Thanks for sharing.
You did a wonderful job but you could’ve done it all in Cedar 2x4s for less then $450
Exactly. I wondered why start with 12" wide boards if you're going to cut them in half?

Your stave dados are too deep. 1/2 or 5/8 would be plenty.
