This is absolutely the best sauna video I've seen. None of this "I barely know what I'm doing" influencer crap. From a real FINN. Thank you. Job well done!
Finland words of wisdom. "Try all things except your grandma and line dancing". holy shit 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously awesome job ! There is something special about a man building something beautiful for his family with his hands not just a paycheck. Truly great thank you for sharing . Texas, USA
Kiitos! I am wanting to build a sauna myself, here on lake superior, USA. I spent a month in Turku once and had many great saunas. So fun to run and jump in the baltic sea afterwards! I hope to visit Finland again one day, I made great friends there.
Such a big lake should definately have a good sauna somewhere there. What a delight it would be to know that if in case somehow I find myself at lake superior, I would know that somewhere theres a sauna... Off to explore!
Same here, in Calumet in the back yard, we have one at our family hunting camp but it's a 40 minute drive to agate Beach. Did you ever start it?-Jeff sutinen
Good video! I loved your comment about not trying your grandmother and line dancing! I have never line danced, but my wife teaches line dancing, so I had to show her your video! Your video has helped me decide to build one like yours. It reminds me of my grandparent's sauna so much I can smell it. Thank you so much!
Awesome sauna, I'm trying to get mine finished using rough cut lumber but sometimes it's hard to get motivated doing it by yourself, you done motivated me so imma gonna get my ass out there! Kiitos veli
@@TruthseekerNKAWTG707 Great to hear about knife serving you well. Alabama would be nice place to visit and hole country also(couple months road trip through country). I have visited Florida about 30 years ago. keimo
This is by far the most incredible, authentic, true sauna build on UA-cam. You did it all from the ground up, you make everyone else look lazy and cheap LOL. Seriously, man this is an incredible project. I was looking at the timber you fell and trying to tell what species it was. Is that spruce? Just curious. Next summer I begin my sauna project. It will be not near as manly and incredible as yours. Cheers!
thanks for making the video and sharing your Hyvaa Tyota!!! Inspiring, have to get busy with mine, here at Kentankyla West (in Oregon) - noticed the Oregon Saw Bar - the questions is - do I have-it-in-me to do all of that with 58th Birthday coming up. Must Continue to Endeavor to Persevere.
Wood will dry and will be ok. Our oldest sauna is from 1950 and there is no aluminium anywhere and still in good condition. You can use aluminum to keep heat inside and save some energy. I added aluminum foil and 25mm wood fiber board to roof later because it took too much wood to heat the sauna in colder weather.
Kyllä siitä vaan hieno tuli edelleenkin. Aika harva pääsee sanomaan nykyään ,että on noin perusteellisen omin käsin saunansa rakentanut( tukitkin juonnettu tien laitaan omin käsin).
Kiitos. Ei ole mitään kursseja tullut käytyä. Ehkä olisi ollut syytä, itseoppimisessa se huono puoli että virheitä tulee väkisinkin matkan varrella tehtyä.
That a great looking sauna I'm getting ready to build one as well Could you please tell me what is the size of a building that you constructed ? Thanks
The last time I seen something as evocative was in Captain Fantastic. The song was Rain Plans. You combined scene and song perfectly. Oh and beautiful job on the sauna!
For summer use it's ok. Next step up would be aluminium-coated paper under the wood panel. I am thinking that all wooden structures will dry much better/faster without insulation. For winter use i would put some insulation on roof. Keimo
Ensin "piilusin" pikkurälläkällä+veistolaikalla ja perään hioin tikut pois lamellilaikalla. Ei ehkä kaikkein silein jälki kyllä tullut, ois ehkä pitänyt hommata/lainata jostain kunnon piilutuskone/kunnon piilulaikka.
Mitä pidempään antaa kuivua sitä vähemmän painuu. Nuo ketkä isompia rakennuksia tekee kuivattelee mun mielestä parikin vuotta joskus vissiin kauemminkin. Mut kyllä tollasen saunan pystyy veistämään jos on talvella kaadetut/pelkatut puut ni seuraavana kesänä. Kai sitä on tuoreestakin puusta veistetty mutta sitten pitää jättää paljon painuma varoja.
@@leppicknives9830 thank you for the reply. I am going to try and find something similar to that around here. Looks like it works well for as a beam cutter.
Hei Keimo, This project inspired me to start my own construction of a log sauna and I already started to mill my own logs. Now I have a question, how long did you let the logs dry before using them, or did you use them straight away? Happy for any advice :) Thank you for great content and inspiration! // Pontus
Hei. I'm happy/humbled to hear that my videos inspire someone to make their own sauna. Normally people cut the trees during winter and build the building in the summer. So i would say that couple of months is enough, wood will shrink anyway after you get the sauna ready and you have to keep that in mind during the building and leave enough room for the walls to come down. Keimo
Laitoitko huopaa perustuksen ja alimman hirren väliin ? Enpäs muistanukkaan että tuli luonnonkivien päälle ! Hyvä niin kamalaa katsoa kun hirsirakennuksia tehdään sementtisokkelin päälle monesti. :/ Onko painunut ? Jos niin tasaisesti ? Mitä olisit tehnyt toisin ? Hyvää kevään odotusta ja uutta videota odotellessa :)
On siellä huopa välissä, ei ole paljoa painunut. vähemmän kuin odotin. Teen varmaan jonkun yhteenveto videon rakentamisesta, kustannuksista ja asioista jotka tekisin toisin mutta todennäköisesti vasta keväämmällä. Keimo
Aikaa meni kaikkiaan reilu 2 kesää kun iski laiskuus ja muut hommat välillä. Runkojen määrää ei tullut laskettua kun jouduin tekemään pariin kertaan lisää mutta alunperin kaadoin muistaakseni n.20 kpl ja yhteensä ehkä n.30 kpl. Kuusien lisäksi pari haapaa ja pari lehtikuusta "kaupunkikodin" pihasta. Lehtikuuset pukuhuoneen lattiaksi ja väliseinäksi, haavat lauteiksi. Monta asiaa tekisin nyt toisella tavalla, mutta sepä taitaa tälläisten hommien suola on ollakin meinaan oppiminen. Keimo

This sauna is made CORRECTLY and according to tradition. This sauna is guaranteed to have good löyly! 10/10 !!!

If this is a manhood test (as you said), you passed! Congratulations!
Awesome sauna, I'm trying to get mine finished using rough cut lumber but sometimes it's hard to get motivated doing it by yourself, you done motivated me so imma gonna get my ass out there! Kiitos veli
you can do it!
What a job! Amazing, congratulations, and thanks for filming it.
I like it! A right of passage, build your own sauna! =) Thanks for the share!
Nicely done. Lots of extra touches, too.
Great video, I enjoyed this a lot. The sauna turned out fantastic!
Amazing, I love the finish Way of Live! SISU!
Beautiful work! I hope you it stays in the family for many years!
What a treat to watching you building your sauna. Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. Blessing to your family.
true craftsmanship, awesome sauna
Great build and a wonderful video
Thanks.
What a great build. It will last a hundred years like the house.
You’re the MAN Cay!!! Your sauna is beyond impressive. How you built it under 34 minutes, is jaw dropping 😮🤣. My sauna bows to yours! 💪🏻🔥
Thanks Jeff, i would have do it in 20min if i just shut up do job 😄
@@leppicknives9830 I have no doubt! 😆 the knife is still sharp💪🏻 come to Alabama when this virus is over!

Incredible what you did!! Job well done
Thank you!!🙏
Wow that's amazing, Respect!!
Thanks! 🙏
Mahtava tehty! Terveiset ruotsista
Working on building something like this in my garden, from forest-felled trees at the moment. Thanks for documenting your work!
Great to hear that somebody gets some useful information of these.
Beautiful and inspirational project. Thank you!
Thanks Martin.
I love it how some pros use a $300 hammer and you kick but with a $20 hammer. awesome
Счастливые люди! Добра Вам)))
Absolutely brilliant!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
amazing sauna, fantastic job. living the dream

Aivan mahtava!
Nicely done, great way to test yourself! Subbed.

You have a beautiful Homestead, great video, that sauna is amazing. If only 6million could have one, .hitlarious 👍👍🧡🙏🙏🐓🐓🐓🚜🛠🥧
Thanks!!
Hei, täällähän on tuttuja naamoja tubessa :)
Ihan mahtava projekti :)
This deserved a thumbs up if only for the correct pronunciation of "sauna" :)
Great job ! Why is there no need to protect the wood from moisture ? We often see an aluminium layer in other projects
Wood will dry and will be ok. Our oldest sauna is from 1950 and there is no aluminium anywhere and still in good condition. You can use aluminum to keep heat inside and save some energy. I added aluminum foil and 25mm wood fiber board to roof later because it took too much wood to heat the sauna in colder weather.
ÄIJÄ!
Kyllä siitä vaan hieno tuli edelleenkin. Aika harva pääsee sanomaan nykyään ,että on noin perusteellisen omin käsin saunansa rakentanut( tukitkin juonnettu tien laitaan omin käsin).
Jep, tulee ainakin uniikki sauna hyvässä sekä pahassa mielessä. Ja itseään voi syyttää jos joku kohta ei miellytä.
Keimo
Polvo y aserrín dan forma a una casa...te veo desde el sur de Chile.
Did you use a mixture of pine and spruce logs in the walls? Can you do that ? What was the form you were cutting the logs with around 5:50 ?
Its all spruce. Normally all wood are the same but on some old houses there is mixed wood. I used diy chainsaw log mill.
This guys funny!
Kova homma mutta on varmaan ilo saunoa 😁👍
Kyllähän tuolla viihtyy.
Hieno tuli saunasta, katsoin 2x nopeudella, ilmeet ja puhe olivat hauskoja😂
Kyllä on upeaa työtä, vau! Oletko käynyt jotain kursseja vai miten osasit tehdä? Ihailen. Erinomainen video myös.
Kiitos. Ei ole mitään kursseja tullut käytyä. Ehkä olisi ollut syytä, itseoppimisessa se huono puoli että virheitä tulee väkisinkin matkan varrella tehtyä.
That a great looking sauna
I'm getting ready to build one as well
Could you please tell me what is the size of a building that you constructed ?
Thanks
Thanks.
It's about 5m x 3m from inside and the wall inside is in the middle.
Keimo
What was the last song? So fitting for the end.
It's The Eastern Plain:My last song.
It's from Epidemic sound
The last time I seen something as evocative was in Captain Fantastic. The song was Rain Plans. You combined scene and song perfectly. Oh and beautiful job on the sauna!
Thank you for you kind words. This kind of comments inpires us a lot! And Captain Fantastic 🤩
Well done man! About to build one in Czechia. Looks like you did not insulate the ceiling, is that ok?
For summer use it's ok. Next step up would be aluminium-coated paper under the wood panel. I am thinking that all wooden structures will dry much better/faster without insulation. For winter use i would put some insulation on roof.
Keimo
@@leppicknives9830 Sounds right. Thanks Keimo!
Hienot videot ja lopputulos!! Hioitko tai höyläsitkö pelkan pintaa?
Ensin "piilusin" pikkurälläkällä+veistolaikalla ja perään hioin tikut pois lamellilaikalla. Ei ehkä kaikkein silein jälki kyllä tullut, ois ehkä pitänyt hommata/lainata jostain kunnon piilutuskone/kunnon piilulaikka.
Pittääkö nuita hirsiä ensin jotenkin antaa kuivua ennen kun tuota alkaa kyhäämään?
Mitä pidempään antaa kuivua sitä vähemmän painuu. Nuo ketkä isompia rakennuksia tekee kuivattelee mun mielestä parikin vuotta joskus vissiin kauemminkin. Mut kyllä tollasen saunan pystyy veistämään jos on talvella kaadetut/pelkatut puut ni seuraavana kesänä. Kai sitä on tuoreestakin puusta veistetty mutta sitten pitää jättää paljon painuma varoja.
This is amazing! How much did it cost? Overall?
Thanks. I think i spend max 1000€. Mainly for the roof stuff. Stove etc. Were used ones that i got for free or i used old ones from old sauna.
Love the build. Looking to build a sauna over the next few years at my off grid cabin. What is the chainsaw mill you are using?
Mill is modified from logosol timber jig and the rail+frame is DYI (wood+some aluminium profile used on balcony railing)

Tulipa nätti sauna, onko siinä eristystä katossa?
Ei oo katossa muuta kuin paneli, ois ehkä voinut jotain laittaa mutta on meillä pääosin kesäkäytössä niin toimii ihan hyvon noinkin.

On siellä huopa välissä, ei ole paljoa painunut. vähemmän kuin odotin. Teen varmaan jonkun yhteenveto videon rakentamisesta, kustannuksista ja asioista jotka tekisin toisin mutta todennäköisesti vasta keväämmällä.

Mitäs vanhalle saunalle tapahtui, siirto?
Se siirrettiin kotiin ja lisäeristämällä siitä tuli kanojen talviasunto.
Paljoko meni runkoja pystyttää tuon kokoinen sauna? Työtunteja meni koko kesä sekä jonkin matkaa syksynpuolelta? Hienon saunan kyllä teit..
Aikaa meni kaikkiaan reilu 2 kesää kun iski laiskuus ja muut hommat välillä. Runkojen määrää ei tullut laskettua kun jouduin tekemään pariin kertaan lisää mutta alunperin kaadoin muistaakseni n.20 kpl ja yhteensä ehkä n.30 kpl.
Kuusien lisäksi pari haapaa ja pari lehtikuusta "kaupunkikodin" pihasta.

Hello, awesome video! What poduct did you use for chinking?
Hello. In Finnish style of log building we use only strip of linen between logs. Logs are carved to have almost no gap, copied/carved the shape of log under to have tight fit.
