For safety: maybe consider wearing a leather apron while welding. Colon cancer has a higher occurence with welders because their abdomen gets exposed more to penetrating uv waves from the welding head. #safetyfirst
With Ryan's ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
I love to watch you make things and see what you come up with. This channel has become one of my top channels to wait for and watch in a very short time you are a natural behind the camera and I hope you make videos for a long time thanks for all the hard work you let us see. And be safe out there
Kevin you are the true definition of an influencer. I thank your brother for encouraging you to be a UA-camr. You remind me of the property brothers. I'm going to share your videos so that you can bring joy to every household. You're the essence of creativity, a push far beyond limits. You exercise determination aswell as display positivity through your character. You show people possibilities that many can adhere to, an encouragement for all people including like me. God bless you.
Greetings from NE Ohio. Thanks for sharing this video and your continued journey in the frozen north. Since you used a plasma cutter for the initial cutting into the heater case I was surprised that later cuts were made by grinder. Looking forward to seeing the next installment. Wishing you and your family peace, health and happiness as the pandemic continues. Peace Kevin.
"It's like a glue gun." (Crafter's hearts everywhere rejoice) I love how you adapt and overcome the obstacles you encounter on the way. I have it in my head that I have to know everything before I start a project because if I mess up then I failed. After watching this I'm learning that even professionals like yourself have issues and one only fails if they don't problem solve creatively. You're awesome Kevin and I'm still hoping to see your whole family on camera some day! Stay warm ✌💜🐖💨
@@Solo-Anarchist 😂 close peace, love, piggy, farts. I'm a weird one, I love piggies because they're cute and they taste good and I love to fart because it's funny and makes you feel better!
That was an unbelievable episode. I'm blown away by how well things work for you and how you see things. That door hinge was really great! And the batoning is pulling it all together. Seriously inspirational episode. Man... that tile. Is that stove tough to clean out? And I wanna live in here too. The garage and the sauna. 💯
Great maintenance about the sparks arrestor, you can wash it with fuel too ! Using synthetic oil is better too !!! Great tricks !!! Great metal fabrication Sir 👍😉 Great works Sir Cheers !!!
I built a sauna with my old man once. We had an issue where our eyes would start stinging as we went about using it. We narrowed down possible causes to poor air quality. We intalled a proper air inlet and all stinging ceased. I can highly recommend it. Cheers!
Like the $1 build, using a ton of auxiliary tooling, grinders, cutters, torches, ceramic tiling, vermiculite, generators, welders, pads, paint, butane, petrol, Beretta muffs etc...true self reliance!
I like the shape and look of this sauna! I still would put drain for easier cleaning and for the off running water when stove isn't hot enough. And ventilation! Sauna can be so warm that it cancels all the fresh air. My sauna is about 70°C and little moist, I like it that way. Keep the quality content comming!!
It was just a small thing, but making the magnet to get the screw was a perfect example of Modern Self Reliance. Nice! The stove build was also a masterpiece of ingenuity! Nice! You do pretty good work for a ginger.
what's ginger got to do with it?! I know you all are afraid we will take over the world, but usually it is either too cold or too warm for that, so drop it already ;-)
@@motaman8074 I know mate, so was I. tongue in cheek (I'd even added a wink to make sure you got that... But I agree, that thing has suffered some heavy inflation over the last decade or so... Yet, against better judgment, here we go ;-)
WOW!!!!🤯 You just keep blowing me away with what you come up with, THAT REALLY WORKS! JOB SUPERBLY DONE! I love this channel even more!! "Steam Punky" 🤣 Looking forward to the " Initiation " Steam Day! Hard work for you that's going to pay off big time! Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. The whole structure is just fabulous. 🥰
My Dad liked to “modify” things and as a kid I was his assistant. I guess that’s why I love watching your videos! ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Also love that you are using things that most people would just throw away. Great job!
As a Finn its really weird seeing a sauna without a drain, usually we have em is to ease the cleaning of the sauna and since you throw water on the rocks usually as well so if the sauna stove(kiuas) isnt hot enough it does not leave pool on the floor. Great vid tho as always :)
@@ModernSelfReliance The stove will be very hot so it will do damage on the floortiles. I suggest to get some sort of heatshield under the stove. Also the drain is important because not all the water isnt going to go to the kiuas.
I suggest you put a tank on the chimney or on the side of the sauna. Thats how you get yourself boiling hot water to mix with cold to have a shower. The wood on the wall and the door are going to rot pretty soon unless you put a drain.
Ingenious dude! You're the great white north's answer to Michael Angelo! Too Much? You are always inventive. Anyone can through money at a project, but real pioneers created their own solutions with whatever resources they had access to at the time. I also like the fact that you say to yourself “I don’t know when or where I’m going to use this material, but I’m sure one day it will be of use so I’ll take it”. If that’s not forward thinking, I don’t know what is.
The key to the success of these small engines is to add fuel stabilizer to the fuel. The ethanol in the fuel gums up the carbs and exhaust. Thank you for all your awesome videos.
Just a quick tip for you Kevin. Most oil bottles have the throat of the bottle offset for a reason. Try pouring with the "wide" side of the bottle pointed down. You'll have to tilt the bottle at a greater angle and its much easier to control the flow. Kind Regards ~ Science
So talented ..Living the dream ..You hit the youtube algorithm home run my friend ...Only critique make that pond bigger for some more puck haha ..Hockey we need more of ! Hahah good stuff man
The way you layed the tile with give the room a wider feel perfect way to of layed them out. I've been a flooring contractor over 30 year great job all the way.
Fantastic as always. I would love to see you find some old gauges and a flux capacitor to add to your stove for the true steam punk look. I showed wife some of this so she could see the reason I keep all the junk I do but it back fired a bit because she wanted to know why I don't build stuff as good as you. Thanks for sharing, keep it up.
The sauna is looking awesome. I think the tile floor looks great too. With the random layout of the tiles it looks like it's supposed to be multiple shades of the colour.
Great work Kevin, keep it coming. In our saunas, the high humidity 100%RH at 90 C and lots of splashing with with water while bathing is not a big problem since we build them differently. Instead of making the countryside saunas watertight, we make them with air gaps and a water drain or two on the floor so that water will always escape. It is critical that after bathing, the sauna is well ventilated, else it will rotten very fast. It is a common practice to light up a small fire in the oven to dry it afterwards. Enjoy!
Gosh al mighty you've got SO much energy 😲🤣 I love all your projects and how you present your videos to us couch potatoes hooked on creativeyou tube videos like yours. Thanks for the entertainment. It's all superb👍❣️👌🏆
I enjoy this channel because.... I learn so much and it is a huge relief, i.e., much needed giggles...... Thank You! Stay healthy, stay happy, be kind all y’all. 🌀♥️🌀
Man, the finished products you manage to create in the middle of a FOREST make me feel just that much more ashamed of the quality of the work I've done inside a heated home with electricity. Inspirational.
I built a sauna in the early 80s. It had an airtight stove and a good stove pipe. It wouldn’t get hot, no matter how big a fire ya put inner. After I added a 3” intake pipe (essentially using the outdoor air to supply oxygen to the fire) the temperature shot up and we had our sauna! Great video!!
You can use that wood heater to dry your wood correctly. Sticker and layer your green lumber in your sauna. Leave an open path to feed your firebox. Open your door every day or two to let out the steam and voila! You now have drier wood. Of course you’ll never get it to less than 10-15% moisture content, but you’re not building furniture with the wood and it will fluctuate since you’ll be adding steam to the sauna. But you’ll be working with semi stabilized lumber. Love your channel!
Gotta say i was one of the first 2000 subs to this channel and just gotta say your content is great. hope things are going good for you and your channel :)
Awesome job dude and glad to see you using ditra correctly. I always tuck my tile under door trim but can't say I've ever heard of it being done with a chainsaw 😂😂
I’ll tell you what I wish I had the trades you and your brother taught yourselves. I bet somebody here in Montana would pay you quite the bit for something like this sir. Great work. Even better videos.
Nice! I want one now! If you ever run out of things to build I have 2 homes on 5 acres that could use some love. Old senior lady needs helper for projects! Much love from So.Cal.💟
I do remodeling and love watching your channel! Dreaming of doing things like this! But seeing you do tile was especially interesting, using a chainsaw to undercut the door jamb 😂 amazing! 🔥
Welding tips.. cleanliness is godliness. (You already covered that). Get comfortable. Rest your hands on something to steady them. When grinding, try to hold the disc as parallel to the material so you dont dig the metal at the very end of grinding every thing off. Pretty cool video. I love the stove. Worked out cool... hopefully it doesn't catch California on fire again!!!
Greeting from Finland! I am like most Finns I own 5 saunas. My question is why tiles on the floor in an outdoor sauna and why no drain. The sauna floor is so much better if you just make it out of wood. This said, good job with the 1 dollar sauna stove. :-)

“Do your best and grind the rest” - best slogan of 2021 so far 💪
A grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't.
My favorite slogan from 2020 was, “It’s all about using what you have to build what you want”💡✏️📏📐🔨♻️
"One Person’s Trash is Another’s Treasure". Amazing on how you can find use for almost anything. And in the end make something beautiful out of it.
If you have storage for it until you find oportunity tu use it. :)
I know absolutely nothing about building. But I love seeing you turn scraps into a work of art!

Is that stove tough to clean out?

should be able to just brush the stove out.
Yeah, just need a brush an old coal bucket.

I second this. Should have a vent inside. Makes a difference. Hopefully that stove will be enough to get to 90-100 C.
Your always coming up with something amazing,
Like the $1 build, using a ton of auxiliary tooling, grinders, cutters, torches, ceramic tiling, vermiculite, generators, welders, pads, paint, butane, petrol, Beretta muffs etc...true self reliance!
