Watch as I build the Samurai Cedar Hot Tub!!! It's been a dream of mine for 10 years and FINALLY I am almost done! Check it out! - Навчання та стиль
I built one of these for a dunk tank for our town to use to raise money at functions. I used 5/4 cedar decking from a local mill. I didn't bother to use dried because of it's use. The tank was 5 ft high and 5 ft diameter. I used 1 in band iron with welded on threaded rod for adjustment. If I was to do it again, I would have used a spring behind the nuts to keep tension on it when it was dry. I used a double tongue and grove bit to lock them together. I know the correct way is to use a concave and convex bit but I'm cheap. That would be two bits, I would maybe never use again. I'll use the double many times in the future making slabs..
So, long term, the thing has lasted 12 years so far, has been stored outside in the winter and has not rotted. The bottom has been banged up alot from moving it around but she is still making local organizations money.
Great video and look forward to seeing the next.
One good thing about dried is when it expands you get a tighter joint. Honestly, though, the amount of water would make even fresh sawn heartwood expand so it really doesn't matter :)
I've been waiting a long time for this.
@@matthewray6008 if seen 10 foot Western Red Cedar sink like a stone when dumped in the salt chunk here on Vancouver Island. It doesn't get any wetter then that.
Oh damn. How much did that cost in materials?
That sounds like an expensive build for a charity use...
I did something similar for a church near me, when I was about 16 I offered to help make a few attractions one of them was a dunk tank too and we used an UN-USED preowned septic tank and just cut it in half. It was made of HDPE, the same stuff as milk jugs and cost us about 200$ because it was for a good cause. We got a dunk tank, a small dog pool, and used the middle band as a sign above the tank so it could be seen from 360.
We considered making one, but none of us had the skill required and I guessed it would be absurdly expensive, considering we were trying to raise money and not spend it.
All in all, I'd say we made the right choice... but I'm curious how much we saved over a wood build.
@@DanteYewToob about 400$. I scrap snowsleds as a side hustle so all the mechanism was built from suspension parts for free. I own a glass shop so i used a piece of 4 x 5, mr10 for the guard. That was 150$ my cost.
The other thing i would change was to put a fixed set of wheels on the back like a hand truck.
You should look into saltwater hot tub systems. I can't believe how much better mine is. I haven't had to add any chemicals in two years. Just added a little more of the salt as I add water. I'm talking about tablespoons. No chlorine smell is a big plus.
Two things;
One, always shower BEFORE getting in. (Antiperspirant, lotions will clog the filters.) My dishwasher does a great job of cleaning the filters.
Two, clean filters often.
You will find that a good saltwater system can go years without changing the water if you keep up on filter maintenance and showers before entry. We use ours year round and haven't had to do anything more than this. The type of salt used has no taste and a quick rinse afterwards is all that's needed to remove any left on us. It leaves your skin silky, not dried out. It's a Sodium Bromide system.
My uncle was the first person to build these tubs in LA and Hollywood. He even made the decks of wood to walk out to it. His company made Millions he did lose his hearing partially. Woodworking make some great men I miss him. Thanks for the how to that made me think of him.
It really is beautiful man, and I can just imagine that lovely cedar scent pervading the workshop while you’re making it. 😊
That was the most inspiring music I've ever heard for a hot tub.
The color variation in the cedar planks make this thing ridiculously beutiful. I can only imagine if you apply a wood preservatives how much more awesome it would look!
I bet it smells amazing 😊
Awesome! We've been planning on getting a similar hot tub - but, now that I've seen this video, I'm making it myself. Thanks so much for the inspiration. The money we save on the hot tub will pay for the extra tools I'll need. Perfect... Now, as far as the water treatment goes, I love hot tubbing but I've discovered I'm allergic to chlorine. So, we are going to use a product called Simplesilver. It's a once-a-year(!) spa treatment that is gentle on your skin and means you don't get the chlorine smell. Anyway, thanks for the building tips. I help my Simplesilver tip helps you too. Thanks.
Mistakes are always good as long as you learn from them and improve on the second attempt. Good luck with the build
All that in just two and a half days.. That's amazing.. Make a coffee table and it's taking me a week..lol. Eager to see part 2.
It's pretty crazy how productive he is.
I also feel your pain on long term projects. I make high end arizona-mesquite furniture and cutting boards as a hobby. Even at full tilt it's weeks before it's ready. The agony of the labor is offset by the rewards it yields.
Bro you build so many things. I’d be happy if I finished a bird house in a week. It’s tough to make time. Much love.
When you were running those tongues over the DADO stack, your fingers man! OMG. Started to cringe. Love the tub 🤘
That's why i started woodworking because i wanted to build my own hottub :D
I've had a cedar hot tub for nearly 30 years. Its 8 feet across and 4 feet deep heated with an aluminum wood stove that is submerged in the water made by the snorkel stove company. There is nothing better than a good soak in a giant tub.
Your projects, workmanship and videos are ALWAYS a big SLAP in my brain !! And... I love it xD
I dissed your music on the last video so the least I can do is say thanks for the much better music on this one! My ears thank you!
A friend of mine builds his with a cove on one side and rounds over the other side. It's a nice touch. And uses Old Growth Western Red Cedar off of his woodlot on Northern Vancouver Island. You should get a life time of enjoyment from yours.
Jessie...! Once again...!!! Beautiful...
I built my own hot tub a year ago. Make sure those screws are at least M16 (~20mm diameter). Also you should reinforce the two outer most floor pannels. Those might come off if you keep them like that! It will most likely not be holding the water in for the first 2 days as the wood needs to expand. Make sure you loosen the screws a bit after that.
There is an irony in waiting for wood to dry so it can be milled with the intent to make it wet again.
I cant express how much you inspired me...!!!
Agreed the quality of wood the samarai uses is all clear where you.getall this beauty timber "whistle" ..
I literally could smell your shop during that. Thanks.
SWEET tub, going to be so great in a nice ZEN style garden setting. Cant wait to see it finished. ahhhh just imagine the steam slowly raising off the surface, little chimes in back ground..... and the kids jumping in and yelling and screaming and splashing water ALL over, hahaha enjoy
That was sooo fun to watch!
That's nice recently did a project where a tank builder did similar process for rain water collection. Just an awesome technique well worth the work in my opinion.
Your woodworking skills are the best.
Cool project. I didn't know that you could adjust the fence angle on a jointer.
Can't wait to this finished!! It's great to see you'll finally be able to enjoy it
Beautiful. You did another great video. Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. I don't know much about wood working, but I will give things a try. Thanks again.
Good on ya mate, appreciate you still releasing free content even with all the effort and expense involved in doing it.
I wasn't expecting it to be so big, but I should have realised the Samurai don't do things by half!
That's what she said"
If i had a dollar everytime i herd that.
Thanks for the great video. How has this held up over the years? I had a cedar tub when I lived in New England and it had a vinyl liner. I found this to be great in many respects even though difficult to install.
How has it been in terms of leaking, aging, standing up to elements, etc?
great... now I'm also dreaming of building a cedar wood hot tub
Youre the best! Want to learn from you. Have seen you do all kinds of joinery etc. Now.. can we get a video where you build something more old school? For example a stol, or a rocking chair, old school style, old school technique?..
Wow so beautiful man!!
totally agree building something from plans from a 3rd party is so important,not the what to do,as much as the what not to do,thats were the time and money is saved,id totally join the school if i was building this behemoth, but i havent the room
Wow. Really nice so far. 👍👍
That is just awesome! Wish I had the time, skill, and place to build things like this! Cant wait to see how you finish it!
Why didn't you just order one and assemble it? Oh. Wait. Make stuff. Yourself. UA-cam. Got it! I have a digital control with an electric heater if you are interested. 110 or 220 - don't know if it speaks Canadian or not, but it's yours if you want it. (Works fine, came out of a plastic tub which cracked). If you have any interest, let me know and I'll get you all the specs and box it up.
Wow your hands come close to the blade on the tablesaw!
I notice that in his videos. Makes my palms sweat.
who cares police, at it again
Henderson shut your mouth Brent. Your parents named you Brent.
You’re a legend mate. Greetings from London.
Haven't been here for awhile..You turned into a Power Tool Commercial. Maybe for the Best..
I would like to hear the story behind acquiring the clear red cedar - where I live in southern Alberta, the odds of easily acquiring material like that would be about zero.
@3:44 just killin it! Nice
Check out the hot tub Manor wood built
I would love to see all of the things you have made in one video as a tour of the property!
I have seen a few builds like this now. One more beautiful than the other. One question though. Why is everyone using Cedar? Is it resistant to swelling, mold..?
Hola maestro que gran video lo felicito, es mi primera ves que quiero hacer una tinaja, para mi casa para que mi familia disfrute, ud me puede ayudar con la medida de los materiales que usa en cuanto a la madera que utiliza y los tornillos ademas ud usa algun pegamento? Se lo agradecería muchísimo y desde ya muchs gracias, y desde chile región de valparaiso un gran abrazo Julian
QUE PRÁCTICA SU DEMOSTRACION, MUY HERMOSA, GRACIAS.
Really nice looking and that wood is just perfect!
All I could think was 'That's a lot of freaking wood' lol.
Also, 3:39 is what I start to do when I get bored and confused on a project too, lol.
He is killing the wood. Compressing the fibers and they will expand when water gets to them.
@@smokingcheeba420 Yeah I figured that's what he was doing lol. He just had a blank look on his face and was hammering the wood and it looked funny lol.
I agree. Most people said wtf
Make sure not to spill any Chernobly in there, or you might find yourself in another time! LOL. Looks great, can’t wait for part two!
Beautiful ofuro style tub. Wondering how to mod this for an off-grid situation.
Quality craftsmanship Samurai...let me know when it's finished so I can test it...😉😉😉👍👍👍
strange people from the internet inviting themselves to bathe with you, life goals
Looks great. I would a cedar hot tub .
is there a straight forward formula to know what angle the staves edge bevel needs to be?
How much did the cedar cost? Curious how much it leaked when filled
Awesome! The cedar is so beautiful. I'll bet it smells amazing in there!
Seriously nice work. Looks amazing.
Soooo nice!! Love your work!
Nice work. Waiting for the part two. Even at this stage it looks beatiful.
Wow, just wow!!!
Awesome
Please send me the plans to the woodshed and the hot tub, sir.
If you go back to Japan for lessons in woodworking let me know.
I am 74 years old but would like to make a trip there for lessons.
I shake so I will not be able to do anything. I just trying to obtain a mindset that I can enjoy.
I am a medical retired Green Beret. I live in the Philippines 🇵🇭 so it’s easy for me to get there! :)
Beautiful Hot Tub, just in time for this west coast winter that's coming in. I'm guessing that's going under the new deck, so it's sheltered? Nicely done 👍
Holy hell that looks awesome... Great work
2 days? I could build it and be in it in 1 day. Lol not really maybe in about 1 year maybe give or take a few years. Nice job on that hot tub. Keep up the nice work you do. Love all that is wood and wood will love you back
Fantastic build!!
Awesome overload!!!
Awesome work!
You should do something with the crazy framer just for fun.
Crazy framer is a framer.
Samurai is...well, a Samurai.
If you don't know the difference, you should commit Seppuku.
@@michaelhull1813 and alex Steele is a blacksmith. Dont be a rude ignorant person. It's called having fun....like I said.
@@COALEDasICE
Obviously, you don't know the difference between the two.
Bless your heart.
@@michaelhull1813 you've got to be the most ignorant person if you think I dont know the difference between a framer and wood craftsman. Go eat your oatmeal and cry.
прям, бассейн получился . круто!!!
Amazing as usual
Amazing! I plan to build my own I was hoping you had released plans for this however I don’t see any on your website? Let me know if I am possibly just looking in the wrong place, thanks!
I like the music you played
Starting at 2:22 what type of tool is that you are using to cut the outer edge? Dual handle jigsaw of some sort?
you're amazing! this is the quality content I subscribed for.
Be careful in case you find yourself time traveling in it.
Was scratching my head when he broke out the hammer. It finally hit me that the hammer will compress the wood fibers allowing the staves to be fit onto the base. When water hits it the compressed fibers will expand again and make the water tight seal.
Killing the wood.
Just shouted from excitement when I saw the thumbnail!! 🤤🤤🕺
What a good video!!!
Looks great!
I’d love to see an Alaskan style sauna with Japanese flair, can I live that vicariously through you lol
Wow, love it
Very nice! Winter is coming and you sir, you are prepared! Are you planing a heating system for this bad boy (something along the lines of copper tubing with an open fire..)?
always so excellent! thanks!!
Great presentation; complete samples of the process, with availability of plans and/or instructions for different skill levels. Noice.
Game changer!! Can’t wait to see how you plumb it, do the straps hold the wood tight enough to seal ? Or do you need something else? Great work
My guess the wet wood swelling creates the seal. The straps keep it from bursting (note no glues nor fasteners)
Best channel on UA-cam
That looks great should look good next to the Japanese Shed you made?
That is massive! I love it! The wood looks gorgeous! I didn’t know I wanted one but I do now! 😀
Oh, well looky here!
Well this is nicer than my old pickup bed and blue tarp.
It's all about who's in it...
Interested to know where you got the cover for your hot tub. Was it custom made? Also, how warm does the water stay in the winter? Would there be a way to insulate the hot tub to make it more energy efficient? Beautiful workmanship.
That's awesome man. I'm probably on day one of year one of the ten year dream before I'll build my own too! Actually I'm more on year four...
Christ on a cracker you built that on a tall table and have to carry that!!!! In the next episode of building a hot tub its a trip the chiropractor 🤣
My dear friend, could you answer me please? I am Brazilian and wishing to make a similar, but smaller one at my house for cold showers. In case I dont have all these pro machines, what kind of machines do you think I can use except for the obvious Electric saw and sanding? And for the tightening, what is that circular metal? Thanks a lot for the reply.
IT’S FINALLY HERE OH MY LAWD
Wow are you going to use a wood stove stole heater like in the Felder video, or do electric heat, or?
