I love your courageous approach to this seemingly unapproachable (untested) concept. Very well done! Gives us lesser experienced woodworkers some inspiration to dive into the deep end... so to speak. Thank you for your extremely detailed documentation - especially with the obstacles you encounter. Cheers!!
Beautiful work! We found your channel while doing research for our bathroom sink build, which we will make from walnut. Thank you so much for being honest about your mistakes - I think we learned more in this 20 min video than in the past 4 months of planning! You also may have saved us from making a big mistake with our choice of epoxy.
After 6 months have the sink finally done! I don't think I can post pictures here. Will try to do it via instagram. Thanks again for being so generous with your knowledge!
Great job, but in the future, use cabosil fiberglass filler with the epoxy to fill in the gaps. it'll add strength to the joints. It mixes up like a paste and will not run and ruin the pieces you're working on.
I'm green with envy......... It's absolutely beautiful. If I were a tad bit younger....... but I want to be able to get back out of the bath after I get in it ha
For the inside probably would be better with fiberglass and epoxy similar to the surfboards. Also, you may use a semi-flexible grinding disc to finish off round surface inside. Thanks for sharing your ideas and mistakes! Great to watch cheers
I think the only other way to do it would be to make the rings and then you can add a couple of loose tenons to join the rings. With rings you could use a jig to line the up and strap to pull them together... maybe.
It does look like an ancient Egyptian coffin which they would float down the Nile. (Yeah, I know Egyptians don't send off their dead like vikings do with a water burial.)
Need to apply many coats of gloss epoxy & will never leak. More the better. Leave tub on it’s side and apply epoxy while each area is laying flat with gravity, no sags this way. Every few hours just keep flipping the tub. 👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
Por fin¡¡¡¡¡ alguien que hizo un tutorial bueno, es excellente, se lo agradezco mucho, la voy a hacer me encantó reciba un afectuoso saludo desde el Ajusco México
Looks amazing! I think there is a major flaw though. If each block is not evenly dry I think hot and cold changes will cause the blocks to expand and/or shrink. It will crack and leak without question. Boats aren't made from tiny blocks and don't have to endure such high temperature changes.
Definitely the Artist... VERY well done, I was going to ask if it was for a client, but you answered the question. A little bit backwards, build the bath before the bathroom :D :D New addition to the shop.. CNC, hopefully you will get a lot of work for it, although to look at it from a different perspective, you can now take on work that would have been difficult and time consuming . Thanks Joey great video and very original.
You can find a leak using vacuum. Attach vacuum to the outside where you see the leak (empty tub first, of course). brush resin over the area you suspect to be leaking. Vacuum will pull resin into the leak. Even if you don't see it, the resin should seal the leak. You can also use a body filler spreader to move the resin around.
You shoyld have considered using fiberglass mesh to seal the tub, they are used in boat building quite often and in my experience are easier to apply than several coats of epoxy.
Looks great. Now you just need to make it into a hot tub. I wonder if a Stanley 113 plane would have been useful on this? It could work on both convex and concave surfaces. Fantastic in the end no matter what. Scott
Lol. The best part is when you had to wipe the sawdust off your glasses with your fingers so you could see. Classic. I've always hated using a grinder on wood for this reason. Nice job.
If you thicken the epoxy with a some glass beads, it makes it more manageable when you are filling voids. We used to put a bit of sand on the top of skateboards because it did not show but gave traction.
I was curious. With access to a cnc machine like that why didn't you cut each level on that and then epoxy them together?It would have saved many hours of work.
+Rod Binder hi, possibly would save time if I wanted to make a few baths. Though its not as easy as it sounds to do that on the CNC . It poses it's own problems etc. But mostly I wanted it to be more of a sculpture.
this I understand. I plan on making a kitchen sink and bathroom sink using a log and a grinder with a wheel is actually a small chainsaw chain for a tinyhouse I am working on. I also understand about working in 3d. I have been involved in that since we had to work in dos. Which I still do for some of my modeling. Anyways I didnt mean to slight your work it is beautiful. I can only imagine how many hours your worked on that tub. THanks for sharing the video. Rod
I used to draw saddle trees in Rhino 5 and slicing it by level is relatively easy once you have an accurate three d drawing. And it converts easily to g code. We were cutting them out with a cnc in spruce because it made the leather workers life easier when they had a consistent shape to fit to.
Very nice work. I really like that bath. And good on your for being so honest about the mistakes you made along the way. To be honest, as this was a prototype, try not to be too hard on yourself for making mistakes. It always takes 1-3 test runs before really know how to make a particular component, so the is all part of the game. Well done sir! =)
It doesn't ruin it if you apply it correctly. Wooden boats are often given a layer or two of fiberglass on the outside, which is then brushed over with epoxy or urethane. Once you apply the adhesive, the fiberglass becomes clear and actually adds a lot of visual depth to the wood. It adds a lot of strength and because it's a continuous layer, it prevents things like the pinhole leak he got in the sidewall.
That's a lot of work but unique pieces usually are. Very well done, most impressive - again!!! CNC eh? I really look forward to see what you come up with using that combined with your superb traditional skills Chris
Man I know how much work that is from having done similar "brick-ups" on a smaller scale for round and half-round table aprons. And they don't have to hold water, just have to get them smooth enough to veneer. Normally use some kind of lightweight but stable wood for the "bricks", such as white pine, and cedar should work too, never tried it. Anyway, it was gutsy and I bet it was a lot of fun and frustration, but came out beautiful!
I do not know why I am just seeing this but I am glad I did. I do believe this will be my next project. I am about to remodel our bath and this would be perfect. How much timber did it take?
Nice project, reminds me of the Salish ocean going canoes. I have had very good luck sculpting with a carbide oriented strand wheel in the side grinder but the cutter you were using seemed like it was good.
There's a company that makes inflatable ball and drum sanders for sanding inside curves. They cater to wood turners and carvers, and come in various sizes. They're all named after king arthur and stuff like that. ..guenevere, merlin, etc. Do an Amazon search of "king arthur sander" or something to see what they have. Great job on the tub. Nice video. Thanks for sharing
This is one of those random stumble across RUclips algorithm glitch things… But now I want a wooden bath tub. I don’t even take baths. I strictly shower. But I want this thing.
Thanks for the Video. I was looking at either buildiing a Bath for my planned Tinny-house or just to buy an Acrylic Basin as is - I think the costs are about the same, as I don't have any of those woodworking tools. Externally you could of added an Vener or Stain it before adding the epoxy. I've seen colour added in-between epoxy layers. Thanks Maaaate!
I had a idea 💡 for the sanding you could use a multitool sander and go over all the lines first then use a marker and sand the rest like a turtle shell design until the marked lines lose their marks
what kind of resin you use ? For my washbasin , i use gloss epoxy resin. It's perfect for flat surface but when the wood is vertical , i think your resin is better... thanks
Really nice looking. And i imagine it would work well for small people. But I can also see all the wood softening from the heat of a hot bath then someone NOT small leaning in it and joints start cracking. making a mess. It may be a good idea to look into wooden ship making then try to design a ship inside out.
After watching this I consider making my own. I think it would be less tedious to do each level on its own as a oval and stack these up later... Thank you for the video!
Building new bathroom now, how would you like to send it to Ga USA. Only kidding! , my bath is just shower , sink and toilet for handicap. Hats off to you and family, lots of patents Great job on tub, love to see what kind of house you would build . Cheers to all --Framerman. Yes even disabled I still do all work myself, Tile soon want to help?
Makita makes a pistol grip grinder. We use them to strip paint of cedar shake siding. It's supposed to take a 5" disk but if you put a 7" on it conforms quite nicely and feathers it out very well
You might have found another sanding tool by now since this video is 6 years old, but wanted to recommend something used in on cars. 2 inch orbital sander/polisher (usually an air tool, but some electric ones exist), and an interface pad.
Great project I enjoyed watching it. Hindsight is 20/20. Why didn’t you use your CNC to make the individual layers of the bath? Once again great project 👍
V E R R Y nifty. The old boy who I am can't help but make a couple of comments. Here goes. 1) you could clamp down the first layer of blocks in 4 stages; firstly the two straight sections- a sash clamp lengthwise + G clamps vertically with a caul. Then the "curved section (each extremity). Ditto for vertical clamping. A ratchet system tie-down for going around the curves (like a D-end table)- using bevelled offcuts. I think one should cramp all the time. Rub joints are risky. 2) You might have roughed out the inner curves BEFORE gluing (I know, it's easy to talk AFTER the job is done). Either by a fine bandsaw blade, or a belt sander. In a job like this you should not have more than 1 mm to clean up- maybe even less. Phenomenal time-saver for the finish. I would tend to say that you've made the best possible choice of timber; Cedar is a gorgeous wood, and VERY stable - NOT the case for Walnut!!! When filling cracks or crevices it's always MUCH better to protect all around the area to be filled- a million times easier to clean up, and wasting much less material. Very good idea- letting the epoxy stiffen a bit before filling, and then covering over with tape. Excellent! You're a very creative craftsman, and I'm sure your neighbours love you. You've also got a big fan club- you deserve. All the best from France (an old cabinet maker). P.S. Love your Aussie accent!
Cheers, agree. I learned a lot and would definitely do things differently if i need to make another . So far so good though it gets used almost every night by my kids and is still water tight. 😁
Sorprendente y Maravillosa tecnica de construcción Felicidades por tu Profesionalismo y conocimiento de la madera. Saludos desde la Ciudad de México :)
I've got to build one now, wonder if it would be better to use two layers of wood but with staggered joints, that would be strong as hell and couldn't break or leak very easy.
I liked it very much. It seems like a lot of work to cut and glue so many pieces so why not use the CNC more and cut most of the pieces to fit all around the tube. It would even make the sanding easy if the pieces fit better togheter, dont you think?
Lot's of work but to be honest, I would make a wooden bath for the reason to feel the real wood on my skin. Not the epoxy finish. The layers of frames glued with epoxy under the high pressure and cut by CNC seems to be a better and faster option. So it not only looks good but also feels wood.
I find it amusing that for the base pieces, under the water with no forces trying to push the boards apart you use dowels/biscuits; but for the small side pieces where the water pressure would be pushing out and exerting forces that could separate the pieces you used no dowels or biscuits.... Looks good, I hope it lasts.
+Great Plains Traditional Bow Co. The cnc would not have helped in that way. The one leak was caused by lack of clamping pressure wile glueing. I was really aiming for this to be a sculpture rather than perfectly formed machine cut object.
It has been great, I just sold the house it's in so who knows from here on. But my kids have used it almost every night since I made it and it only has a few dings and scraps from their toys etc. If I do another one I'll use a hardwood to eliminate the dents and dings.
That is beautiful. You're a madman. And what kind of magic did the panel beater do, that outside coat looks perfect. I wonder if the 2 pot would go through a spray gun.
Excellent job. It turned out amazing! You two did a really good job!!! Dominos would of helped with the small pieces but that would of been a lot of dominos!!!! To bad you live on the other side of the world! Ron

+The Apprentice cheers, you don't get that in the shops!
Looks great Joey. You know this will start an avalanche of DIY wooden tub videos now. :).

Well done, beautiful tub. 20 years plumbing, 45 years working wood. WELL DONE...
Great job, but in the future, use cabosil fiberglass filler with the epoxy to fill in the gaps. it'll add strength to the joints. It mixes up like a paste and will not run and ruin the pieces you're working on.
You are a beast! Looks great. Somewhat daunting project to take on and you won. Great at last to see how it all came together. Thanks.
Incredible work. Don’t know whether to feel inspired by your work or disheartened by how far I am from getting there.
Very cool project Joey. Really look forward to your house build because I know there will be plenty of custom mods. Thank you so much for sharing.
I'm green with envy......... It's absolutely beautiful. If I were a tad bit younger....... but I want to be able to get back out of the bath after I get in it ha
Ha, cheers
Absolutely beautiful! This inspires me to do more-bigger and better projects. Thanks for taking the time to show us your process.
+Duane Dickey cool cheers
For the inside probably would be better with fiberglass and epoxy similar to the surfboards. Also, you may use a semi-flexible grinding disc to finish off round surface inside. Thanks for sharing your ideas and mistakes! Great to watch cheers
I am amazed the blocks held with the resin/glue and no clamping or mechanical bonding. You have really surprised me!
+Peter M me too, because epoxy is gap filling the pieces don't need to be super tight.
I think the only other way to do it would be to make the rings and then you can add a couple of loose tenons to join the rings. With rings you could use a jig to line the up and strap to pull them together... maybe.
I wonder if that tub can double as a boat? Definitely, is a piece of art.
Angel Luis Trinidad
You should have used a belt sander to take the roughness out, then a small block plane for finshing, finally using a thumbscrape
Yes
It does look like an ancient Egyptian coffin which they would float down the Nile. (Yeah, I know Egyptians don't send off their dead like vikings do with a water burial.)

Maybe a layer of fiberglass inside to reinforce. Like a surfboard, equally exelent work
And ruin beautiful cedar with fiberglass? It's a sin!

Looks good, I hope it lasts.
+Todd Poulton the dowels in the base are to keep the pieces aligned in the same plane while clamping. The don't add any extra strength to this joint.
Very cool! However, if you have a cnc why didn't you machine the side blocks to to fit perfectly thus doing away with all the cracks
+Great Plains Traditional Bow Co. The cnc would not have helped in that way. The one leak was caused by lack of clamping pressure wile glueing. I was really aiming for this to be a sculpture rather than perfectly formed machine cut object.
Thankyou you gave me a lot of info to think about. I want to make a tub with a door and rubber seals😊
How has it held up? I’d love to see a follow up video now!! Phenomenal work!
It has been great, I just sold the house it's in so who knows from here on. But my kids have used it almost every night since I made it and it only has a few dings and scraps from their toys etc. If I do another one I'll use a hardwood to eliminate the dents and dings.
Great work Joey.
The cedar does look great even if it is a bad combination with the epoxy (hindsight is a great thing).
Nice job! And it can double as a small boat.
Great build, well done 👍🏼😊
That is beautiful. You're a madman. And what kind of magic did the panel beater do, that outside coat looks perfect. I wonder if the 2 pot would go through a spray gun.
yip could have sprayed the epoxy , but clean up was going to be a bugger. nice spray job ay
Excellent job. It turned out amazing! You two did a really good job!!! Dominos would of helped with the small pieces but that would of been a lot of dominos!!!! To bad you live on the other side of the world!
