    I'll admit that that is the nicest steam box I've seen on UA-cam.

    This video makes me want to put on some classical music, build a steam box even though I don't have any projects that require one and then have a cigar. I've never smoked before but for some reason this video is tempting me

    Great video, thanks. Did you consider or put in any sort of pressure relief valve in the box? I’ve wondered if it is needed and seen conflicting approaches. Thanks again.

      @cdanieldewey9034 The condensation drain line on the bottom of the box keeps pressure from building up:-)

    Do you have the supplies you used to build this?
    Like a list of what you used and dimensions?
    Thanks!

    Fantastic steam box! You’ve inspired me to build one during my time off. What material did you use for the metal tube?

    • @Odd-Lots

      It was a 12-inch heating duct vent.

    How long did you soak the wood before steaming? How many hours/inch of thickness of soaking and how many during steaming?

    • @Odd-Lots
      @Odd-Lots  4 місяці тому

      @chaseholladay3781 I soaked it overnight. Steam it roughly 1 hour per inch of thickness.

    Thanks for the video! How did the spray foam and the insulation board handle the heat? Have you used it several times? I’m thinking of building something similar.

    • @Odd-Lots
      @Odd-Lots  8 місяців тому

      You're welcome. I've used it many times now. The spray foam has held up great. The pink rigid foam has not. But it's directly exposed to the steam.

    A roll of fiberglass insulation would also have worked around the pipe.

    I’m not happy which how your videos are going. They bounce around and you can’t get a good look at the process.

    • @Odd-Lots
      @Odd-Lots  Рік тому

      I'm sorry, Hadassah. They bounce because I am doing this in my spare time. Weather changes a lot here. When it's too cold or too wet, I have to find something to do inside. I built the steam box when I did, not because I needed it right then, but because the days were too short and too wet to keep working outside consistently. Other times, it's freezing or snowing, so I had to stop concrete work. Check back in 1 year, and I should have a start to finish video up, with everything sequenced in order.
