"Cause your boy ain't trying to get hurt." 😂 That board must've made him forget instantly
I like that you didnt edit that part out. Happens to all of us at least once.
One more thought. It would be cool to see a 6 month or 1 year recap video looking at how well all the various components and build approaches have feared with all of the heat and humidity inside the sauna, but also the outdoor seasons on the exterior. Curious how the external outlets will do but also that LED strip internally. I am planning this build in about a year and would love to learn from your experience and make adjustments!
I wonder IF the marine speakers and lights held up to the heat.
The door should really swing out, if you should collapse in there no one will be able to get in there to get you out. Other than that love it
Finlandia and Harvia are both Finnish brands. No credit to Sweden this time. Also it is custom to have the seating higher up so your feet are at stone level. The heat covers the body better and you get to enjoy all the heat that rises to the roof. The cedar looks fantastic!
Getting Dexter vibes when you put up the vapor barrier on the inside 😂
I think besides being a great paint color choice in its own right, the Dark Secret really picks up the tone of the stone on the fireplace.
I wonder if the guy mixing the paint at Home Depot is required to whisper a dark secret into the can before shaking it?
Love the work. Not crazy about the location blocking the window.😮😮😮
I love to watch all DIY sauna build videos on RUclips. You did a great job! I'm building my Canadian-Ukrainian Laznya(Sauna) and learning a lot from similar videos. One major thing that is worth improving is your door. The doors must be opening in the direction of exit for security reasons, especially in the Sauna.
Nice setup. Like it a lot. Really good looking sauna. You got the ventilation right 👍
Questions...
1. You go to sauna to relax and detox. What is the purpose of speakers?
2. Where the water goes what you throw to heated stones? Does it stay on the floor?
3. What is the reason for seats being so low? You get the best effect when you sit higher and throw a lots of water to heated stones.
Great video for sauna enthusiasts in U.S.A 👍
Best Regards from Finland
It’s my understanding radiant barriers need air gaps to work. Radiation is via air, convection is moving air, and conduction physical contact. if the “radiant barrier is touching the cedar, heat transfers conductively negating the barrier. Says right on the package to leave a half inch gap. This is also why you don’t instal spray foam if you have radiant barriers.
While you are absolutely correct, I just want to nitpick that radiative cooling does not require air. Hot things give off energy in the IR spectrum, which can and does also work in vacuum.
The door swinging in is crazy lol
Bro doesn't want an ounce of heat leaving 😭🤣
@@PlayoffZorohe doesn’t want to leave lol
The whole time watching I was thinking he did it by accident and was too lazy to fix it.
Probably a reasonable safety precaution so nothing can block the door from the outside.
@@maacseffort if anything its a safety hazard. Say him or his wife passes out from staying in too long or it being too hot and they are on the ground and block the door. No one is going to be able to get in to help them
Door should swing out from the sauna, not in…
Also, should use battens on top of reflective foil before putting the T&G for air circulation.
Post a video of the one YOU made. Or shut up jeez no one cares about your opinion.
I also wondered why not just take the power cable under the floor instead of through all those studs.
I know NOTHING about building, and my first thought was "And if he passes out on the floor, who will be able to help him?". I don't see myself trying to push my way in by squeezing a 6'2", 200-pound-ish man against the bench...
I was thinking a sliding glass door would be dope
I think swinging in would be preferable to me in case something blocked the exit
Good job brother. I did this same project over the summer. My vevor heater (9kw) crapped out on me. Been going back and forth with them waiting on a replacement. If anyone reading this is on the fence, if you can swing it get a name brand. The vevor is a gamble.
Had the same heater and it's terrible
PRO TIP: you can rub two off cuts of the shingles together over fresh sealant to cover it with the same coating as the shingle. Looks good and protects the sealant even better.
Love your videos and positive attitude towards life! ❤ thank you for spreading your love that you have for wood work/ building.
Greetings from Finland! The build looked good, some minor things, I as Finn, would have done differently, but over all quite happy with the end result:)
Fun fact for you:
Finland has populatio of 5.5 million and we have 3.3 million saunas. And it's normal to have 2 saunas in your home :D
Let me know, if you have more question about finnish saunas
Hello! I would love to learn the core basics of building a quality functional sauna. Specifically like venting, heating, benches, doors, and moisture control.
The classic Mr. Build It video style we all know and love.
Everything wrong and always the hard way!? Absolutely!
When you started putting the plastic up, it was giving Dexter lol
Almost 31 years old. Only ever had 1 power outtage in my life! Gotta love the Netherlands :D
I feel our main benefit is having near all power lines in the ground. (Ofc we also don't have tornadoes or extreme snowfall)
Y know, build it kids....teaching them skills that s n dull they'll love tht daddy showed them, nothing will stop tht, nd for the girls..... nothing is possible when they try! Amazing...... I did the same with my son, h3s now a joiner, my daughter....a nurse but she knows her way round power tools ha ha u just can't learn them skills any other way! Daddy of the year for that one! And great bonding moments for you with your kids.
Another outstanding build! I was laughing when you first said you were going to build a sauna. I was thinking, 'they should just come to California for a minute'. lol Oh and congrats on the new kid channel - that is a fantastic idea! We took the same approach with our son. Today he is 42 years old and truly a renaissance man. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. :)
Dude, you worked so hard and missed the most important part, insulation on all 6 sides and a wood door handle. You’ll burn your hand with a metal handle.
its so small insulation doesn't really matter all that much
We don't watch this channel for premium decision making skills
@@ScottStephenSmith got it 😉
@@ScottStephenSmith We watch it for an affiliate commission-famished asshole to afford his next tattoo
@@ScottStephenSmithwe watch this to see how not to build a sauna
You should have installed a drain. Easy to clean a sauna when you can spray it with disinfectant and then drain
Looks good! This makes it look doable. Why not swing the door outwards? And shouldn't the door have a certain type of tempered glass?
Should definitely switch the door to swing out
You need a cold plunge next to your sauna as they go together. Finnish people typically jump in a snowbank or frozen water immediately after their sauna to wash away the heavy metals, etc.
I assume he still has it, but he built a cold plunge setup in a video a year or two ago.
Dam u good bud. That board hit was brutal
Hope all is OK after that nasty accident.
Looks great, I just don't get the location. Seems like a waste of light for the windows behind. I guess there's a good reason though!
haha overexposure!!! glad to see I'm not the only one who makes these tiny mistakes and realizes it's too small of a deal to go back and fix. good on you!
I love your builds man, keep the content coming and god bless you my brother
I LOVE your projects. I also love that this RUclips thing has been a success for you guys. And expanding into a kids channel. CHEF KISS
What brand is the sprayer you use for the paint for this project ?
It is really nice, I will try to build one for my family! Thank you! How do you like your RYOBI Framing gun? I am planning to buy one
Vevor makes literally everything. It blows my mind how many random, completely unrelated products I see their name on.
The lights you're using would be a great option for your mobile shop you just built!
Hi MBI, Is the "moisture" barrier just white plastic or is it a specific type?
Thanks for all your videos! 42 year old desk jockey here just getting into DIY stuff and love your videos!!!
This is not the channel to watch if you want to learn how to build
Sauna door should always open outwards for saftey 😅 potential death trap. Otherwise some nice ideas
Using the music from Lowe’s Monday morning Lowe down completely made me trip out for a minute 😂
What song was this? I remember it being a hit back in the late 90's early 00's
Inside glass panel will crack, leave it in place because if you remove it the outer glass will break next due to the heat. Tempered glass is ideal.
Everything you build has great design even down to the colour and the texture. Giving me great ideas to tackle a big project 🛠
Ive saved a lot of money buying vevor products on various projects around the farm. Great video
Gotta have the cold plunge companion!
I love Dark Secret.... It's my favorite!
Nice build, but the location and the door swinging inside?
For your kids' videos be sure to wear safety glasses! 👍
And a hard hat lol
Quick question: why have the door swing inward? Wouldn't it be more roomy if it swings out?
Also if you need to "escape" you get out easier.
Because he is an idiot
Yes, you should always have a sauna door swing outward for safety. If you were to pass out or fall in front of the door no one can open it to get you out.
This thing is sick. I want one. right near the cold plunge too!
Are you not worried about the corner of the house sitting in the snow all winter, now that it has a place to land on?
I think it’ll melt pretty quick being on top of a sauna
A kid's channel is a SICK idea!!! Gonna check it out.
You could have controlled that entire sauna with the temperature controller on the outside. Also, don't waste your time with 3 tab shingles. They have self-adhesive flat deck roofing you could have used AND will with stand that low slow with high winds.
I love that you have no idea what you are doing but try and figure it out. Just sucks it’s going to fall apart after a year or two haha
I’m assuming the Finlandia heaters come from Finland :)
Maybe I missed it, but is there a reason that you didn’t use spray foam insulation?
only concern about weight on top would be snow. but i think im going to make one of these too. haven't finished the video, but it depends on total price
Nice! you need yourself a palm nailer for sure.
Great job !The door though .
Did you have to get this structure approved by your HOA?
...or county?
how do you manage oxygen in there with everything being watertight is it airtight too?
Your sauna is going to be a moldy mess in a few years. Instead of focusing on the ascetics of the sauna you need to focus more on functionality of what a sauna is. What I mean by this is you need to build your sauna around the heater and the idea of what a sauna is trying to accomplish, not “led lights” or “Bluetooth speakers”. You should have sheathed the structure with a polyiso rigid insulation board. Same with the roof and flooring. Then put your veneer, roofing, interior foil liner, cedar walling, and flooring in (not in that order) after everything is sealed. I don’t care how much plastic you put between the standard housing insulation and the interior foil liner and cedar board, you are going to have moisture issues leading to mold. All fixtures like the door etc need to be rated for high heat plus moisture or else you’re running the risk of dangerous vocs / carcinogens being released through the heating cycles. The door trim / seal is also going to break down over time through heating cycles allowing exterior moisture to enter the sauna. While I appreciate the video for it’s entertainment quality / value (you did put together a great video), unfortunately you will have to tear it down in the near future due to mold and other issues. The structure and foundation are another subject that’s needs to be discussed just not as important as the AVB of the sauna.
@@Cristobal_2012 I run one of the largest commercial masonry companies on the east coast. In addition to my expertise with masonry I have several certifications in wall cavity assemblies including: air vapor barriers (ABAA), through wall flashing, structural load bearing wall assemblies, thermal cavities, different types of veneers and rain screen systems, etc, etc... I also do a bit of consulting work for large health care (hospital systems) and higher education campus in and around my state. I also speak with daily several members of TMS (the masonry society) board and other various building code committees. Lastly I have been appointed to sit on 2 different state boards over seeing our industry both of which I am a director. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the video and am interested in building my own - its' just what we watched being built here isn't going to last very long and in the end will end up as a pile of moldy trash.
Any links to youtube videos where they do it right?
Dude. Have you seen the majority of Finnish saunas? They are basically sheds near a lake or pond. Been working fine for thousands of years..
Okay, I am also interested to fined instructions for a small good sauna.
If I made this video, this comment would make me cry.
All sorts of critters are going to enjoy underneath that! You need to put some pest blocking under the floor.
Curious why you put the osb on backwards. The black lines go out because they’re a nailing guide.
Damn your budget and my budget are two completely different things lol
Sick build though and incredibly satisfying to watch
Shed is looking great so far at 14:36. But why place it in front of a window? a sun receiving window? For a few bucks you could have ran the wire further to the back of the yard
Love it, awesome build. Location is abit annoying lol. Cracking job 👏
Bro that roof is slanted... you're brave for going up there
Bro put an ad in the video about his new channel teaching kids to safely build but didnt wear protective gear most of the time, besides goggles sometimes. Unsure if the siding is hardie or wood but that hardie fiber board in your lungs with no mask is an interesting choice
Exterior doors should swing out not in. It's a safety hazard. Plus it would give more room in there.
Amazing job, but common, the door...... Please fix that to swing outside not inside!
great job. I have to admit, I don't like the location on the property.
Just brilliant
Well done...it looks great! You just saved yourself about 3K👍😊
Be sure to eat/ hydrate well in advance ...prior to getting in! You may also want to limit your time in there for 15-20 minutes, enjoy! 😊
Awesome. That paint color is 👌
I know nothing about Saunas, but does the door have to swing inside? Also, how did you score that prehung door for only $70?? wow
Love a good tiny sauna. I've had some of the best löyly in my life in small saunas. What irks me as a Finnish person is the seat height. It's supposed to be at least double that to actually get the steam hitting your body properly, as it escapes upwards from the stove and circulates around the top half of the room height or so. Also the door opening inward... why is that? Is it some building code thing or what? I don't remember ever seeing an inward opening sauna door (except maybe in exceptionally large saunas in swimming halls and such) and I've been to probably 150+ saunas all around Finland.
Small correction to the information… Harvia is a Finnish company😉 In Finland we have a sauna in almost every home (electric or wood)
If you ever come to Finland, I promise to introduce Finnish saunas and sauna culture!
p.s. Here in Finland, we always take a sauna naked😀
What Siding did you use? Name and where?
Been waiting on this build since you did the cold plunge DIY build
Lovely tiny sauna really love the idea
What kind of glasses are you wearing??? Nice job 👍
Dude what kind of paint machine was that, I didn’t see in your description?
Shouldn’t the drop edge on the door side go on top of the shingles? You will get water in under the shingles the way it is now.
Congratulations on the new channel. Awesome idea!
What are the dimensions of the sauna? I want to build a small outdoor office and I think I can make due with the size you did.
great work again mr B! can i ask where you got the cedar planks from?
Great Idea I think the kids Chanel is cool
I 10000000% support the new channel. Totally epic idea
Thats BRIGHT!
if the door swings in at least have it swing the other way, I assume the only way to close the door is to stand on the bench.
no gfci outlets on the exterior?
get a palm nailer for the tight spots.
Love the idea for your new channel. Definitely will watch with mine. 👍🏽
Bench too low - feet should be above the heater or you will always have cold feet
One could save a LOT, by using 6'x 5/8" cedar fence pickets for much of the project.
hey! I got that song in my playlist :)
What song was this? I remember it being a hit back in the late 90's early 00's
You did an amazing job bro! Congrats!
similar to an outdoor toilet. 😂😂😂
video of you opening the door, going in, and closing the door...because that entry look awkward
Great video, could do with one in the UK. Keep up the amazing work. 😊
I hope the LEDs work out, they can be heat sensitive.
how much was it all up
