Thank You! I dont have Finnish roots - but I do love the culture. I was primarily motivated by the studies coming out of there on the health benefits, and since this was a big build - I wanted to make sure I did my due diligence to screw up as few things as possible.😆 Thanks for watching!!

Thank you! I used 100% linen curtains to help with that and so far they've been okay. (opening the vent at the top after each session dries things out surprisingly quickly for now) It may be more of a problem though in the warmer months. My worry with the Contact paper would be off-gassing or melting from the high temperatures - but ill definitely look into that if the temp change affects things. Maybe i could put the contact paper/tinting on the outside. Thanks for watching!!

Yeah I was trying to pronounce it “correctly” but old habits die hard. Pretty sure I said it like 6 different ways. 😂

Thank you! The interior ended up being almost exactly 7x7x7. Tho if I were doing it over I’d adjust the layout. The window change and the heater placement severely limited the space for benches. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Chris! I've just been using it about a month (3-4 times a week), and so far its holding up great. I really wanted a Harvia or Huum heater - but like you said, they're crazy expensive and I just didnt have the budget for it at the time. I figure if this one lasts a few years and dies - then i can upgrade if I'm still getting the same benefits and using it as often by then. I'll post an update if that changes though! Thanks for watching!

Oof. Good call. I didn’t think of that at all. I should have maybe just done the outside, and used an oil on the inside ? Not sure if that would cause the door to expand/contract unevenly. That’s a Great observation I wish I’d thought of. Thanks for watching!

@ hmm not sure. Ive been in alot of saunas at gyms and they’re all just raw cedar inside and out.. anyway stay safe. The build was awesome

Thanks Mike! You are correct - and thats how my brain _should_ have decided on that - but in the moment I thought "what if someone tries to nail me IN there. I better make it swing inward." 😂 Thanks for watching!

I didn’t make any plans for this particular build but everything I talk about in the video could be adjusted to 36” wide. It actually makes it easier because you wouldn’t need to join the multiple back sheets you could just rip it from one thinner sheet for the back and just divide everything by 2 or 3 to get symmetrical cubbies on top and bottom.

@@BearhawkStudio hi... I can't access to the blueprint for measurments. Where can I get the plan? thanks

It ended up being just short of $5000 after subtracting the stuff I didnt end up using or that wasnt necessary. But I did get a huge amount of the Eastern cedar for free - so that would need to be adjusted. If I were doing this again I think I could probably shave another $1-2k off of it with some tweaks to the design. The whole build took me from November to January - but there was a lot of downtime i didnt get to work over the holidays. I'd say actual days worked were probably closer to 2-3 weeks worth.

When sitting on the current bench my head is at the ceiling. But I am planning to add a movable lower bench as a “step” but also for folks that don’t like the high temps like I do. The big window change kinda screwed up the bench flexibility for me and cut down on my usable bench space

Thank you! Hope it helps! Definitely think more about the layout inside than i did. I wish now that i'd shuffled things around a bit and made room for more bench space. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I made a vent that can open and close straight above the heater right at the ceiling - but i am a little worried that the steam will discolor the soffit over time when i open it at the end of the session. Since its electric and there's no smoke i didnt feel like it needed to go straight up through the roof, and was more worried about leaks at the time - but we'll see in the next few months if i was wrong and might have to re-adjust. Good question! Thanks for watching!

Results may vary - but so far I’m in the clear! 😂

Thank you! There’s definite benefits to living in the city. But green acres is the life for me. 😆 Also good info on the acoustic benefits. I wish I’d known that when I built the house! 😆 Thanks for watching!

Oh nice - I've seen people do that but didnt know thats what it was called. Thats exactly what I _wanted_ to do - but ended up just using a high temp silicone caulk around the edges after the guy i bought the glass from told me to just frame it in. That would've looked much nicer if it would hold up. Thanks! And Thanks for watching!

Yeah I did that here mostly to try and keep bugs and snakes out. We have an unfortunate amount of black widows and copperheads in my area - so closing it in makes me feel a little better about locking myself in there. 😂

@BearhawkStudio that makes sense. We dont have that problem in Finland.

@@oulapihlajamaki8932I will do mine with aluminum screen and coin sized gaps on the floor boards.

Thank you! Radiant heating is a great idea. The floor stays pretty regular temperature in mine so far but up on the bench it’s just right. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Tom! We’ve been enjoying the heck out of using it the last week.

Thank you! Make sure and wear gloves handling those blades- myself and a few other folks mentioned they’ve cut themselves almost immediately on them! If you’re on Instagram tag me in a photo of your finished design! I love seeing what people come up with!

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

Thanks Tom! It’s been a fun year! Hoping to wrap up my current project this week and get the video out next week!

Yeah I wear gloves when installing them and then hang ours on the wall. The ones I sell on the website I’ll be wrapping the blades for just that reason. First thing I did when took the first blade out to measure it was cut myself too. 😆

Thanks Toni! Everybody I gave one to this year loved them! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

Thank you! Glad you liked it and it gave you some good ideas! You're gonna love that bandsaw too - you can do so much cool stuff with those. When you get it make sure and check out Alex Snodgrass's video on how to set it up correctly the first time and it will save you SO MUCH time and frustration. (its on Woodcraft's RUclips Channel) Thanks for watching!

Thank you sir! They’re the best boots I’ve ever owned. Skål! 🍻

Thank you! They also have a few other varieties like amber and blue blocker lenses. Tough to beat ‘em for that price.

@BearhawkStudio Also happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Happy thanksgiving to you as well sir!

Thank you sir!

Thanks Greg! I gotta charger for ya when you make it up this way! 😆

Thanks Tom!! I use the heck out of both of them! You won’t regret it!

A few years back we got some prank gifts for my Dad. The best was my brother getting him a diy sandpaper kit. Copy paper, bottle of elmers glue and a few small bags of sand 😂

You should buy your least favorite woodworker some Bourbon. I bet he prefers Elijah Craig. Just guessing…😆

Thanks Tom! He’s been a hoot to have around the last few weeks.

@ love it

👍👍👍

Thank you! I pasted up the plans for the bread bow on my website with dimensions - but last week the blades I used sold out on Amazon - so I've ordered some new ones and will update the plans for everybody as soon as they arrive and I double check the measurements. Thanks so much for watching. Let me know if there was a different plan you were interested in though and I can try to get those online this week.

@@BearhawkStudio Thank you for responding. I see the blades are back in stock. I looked for the plans, but didn't see them. I was also interested in the ice cream scoop style bottle opener plans. I saw someone make a coffee scoop with the same shape. I think would be fun to try it. ruclips.net/video/gT1yjhPVj2A/видео.html Thank you again

The ones in this video were closer to 1" cause thats the scraps I had laying around - but you could absolutely use 3/4" or even 1/2" stock easily. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! And Thanks for watching!

At least 3/4” - but I prefer to do 1” and sometimes up to 1-1/2” just for bulk. But they’ll definitely still work at 3/4 if that’s the stock you can get in your preferred wood. Thanks for watching!!

@@BearhawkStudio Thank you!

I drew up some really basic plans when i got started, based on a piece of glass the church already had for the top of the table - but ended up making quite a few changes as I went to the dimensions based on the thickness of some of the lumber that was available. Like the legs ended up being 3"x3", and the skirt around the table ended up being around 6" so the CNC letters would be readable, and still leave room for the trim. Happy to share the original drawing / dimensions with you though if you wanna reach out through the contact form on my website. And going forward I'm planning to create much more detailed plans for all my projects and make them available.

That was Starbond Black Medium CA Glue and Activator. There's links for both in the description of the video. That stuff is super useful and they make it in multiple colors!

Thank you! There were times during this one I definitely questioned if it was worth it. 😆 Thanks for watching!

Hey Fred! I put plans for the bread bow on my website and links to all the materials needed to build these projects are in the video description. The dimensions for all are dependent on which inserts and blades you buy but I specified the ones I used in the links. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! And thanks for watching!
