    Add a varnish too the wood so it doesn’t rot (even though its bought “protected “) an extra varnish a year down the line will help massively. Also cut down the screws which are exposed on the underside of the lid (save cutting yourself). Love this content keep it coming ❤❤

  • @nickshaffer1141
    @nickshaffer1141 Před rokem +85

    I would advise to sand it down smooth and then but a light color stain that can repel water. because if it rains or theres a leak in it, it will mold or the wood will warp and break.

  • @whiteoutYTV
    @whiteoutYTV Před rokem +14

    Hey Jay, I think you should sand off the sharp corners and top sides of the open bath. Also might want to add smooth rounded corner pieces where the gaps between the body and the trough. Looks awesome!

  • @firstbeast32

  • @acdbrnout5101
    @acdbrnout5101 Před rokem +23

    When cutting the wood, I'd recommend either using a scrap piece of ply between the saw horses to act as a table, so the wood doesn't fall when you go all the way through. Or you could use a sheet of foam insulation on the floor to cut on, it provides a flat surface and the wood can't fall. The depth of your circular saw should be set to about one saw tooth more than the depth of the wood to reduce tear out. Sick job, I got in to woodworking during lockdown as a hobby, it's so satisfying building stuff :)

    for the bath itself, taking deep breaths really help, obviously you need to do it over a long period of time but its really effective. Also, instead of slowly going in the water, just go in quick. The shock factor will be really hard to get over but if you get past that, the rest is a easy game... i find the shock factor the worst part so by getting past that, you have won the mental game. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress 💪🏾

  • @JuBeoN
    @JuBeoN Před rokem +10

    Im actually taking a materials class and I wanted to add this: Timber wood looks VERY nice, but I heard that it doesnt age very well, hence why it is typically used indoors, so I recommend putting it somewhere indoors so it doesnt get ruined by the rain/snow by way of shrinkage
    EDIT: I watched the end, I wanted to add that a better alternative could have been cherry wood, oak wood, or any engineer-produced wood. They might be a bit more pricey, but it lasts longer and it more resistant to shrinkage

    Bro this is gonna be amazing for them hot summers also, if you drill pilot holes before you drill in screws the wood wont crack as well as sand down the wood and apply a nice varnish so the wood is treated so it doesnt rot or discolour. Love this video :D

  • @blaize2001_
    @blaize2001_ Před rokem +48

    love the vid jay, just a few tips for you to have a think of for the cold baths, you should start to meditate before going into the bath to calm the body this could be breathing exercises, silent rooms ect for around 5-10 mins,
    You also don't want to over challenge your body when your in the bath and build up your time in them so this could be 2 min for the first,minuets, and when you get more confutable you can start to add minutes, i would suggest building it up to a max of 5-6 mins (if this includes ice) but this will take a while to achieve as your body needs to get used to it.
    After care i would highly suggest to warm your body up right after coming out, but do not jump straight into a hot shower, build the temperature up so its not a big shock
    hope this helps and will look forward to seeing more of these videos, Good luck!

    • @Martin.G

  • @liamfoxe6203
    @liamfoxe6203 Před rokem +2

    That is a bloody amazing job bro! based off this im gonna have a crack at saving up and doing one myself. The only thing I would've recommended that you can potentially change down the track is the material choice for the divider betweer the tub and the chiller. MDF is a good timber for dry internal applications but as soon as it gets any moisture in it it swells and begins to disintegrate. So for the longevity of the tub, replacing it with some sort of marine plywood might be the go. But again, Bloody good job bro! 🙌🏼

  • @g-bootty8017

    I grew up watching you and Rommel and it was because you had this controlled yet unpredictable chaotic humour that no one else could imitate
    Doing DIY videos you could cross that bridge between genuinely useful ideas tips but still keep that TGF brand humour for casual watching

    Hi jay, I think the overall look matches the rest of the deck but I was going to suggest painting it white which reflects the heat from outside, especially during warmer months which might help it reach the lower temperatures. I would also suggest a layer of insulation below the trough where alot of the cold might escape

    Jay it's sick to see you doing these sorts of projects! I live local and was actually at that wickes for my own projects over the Easter break, It's still mad to see this area on a huge channel. For advice, I've got no idea of your pre existing knowledge in regards to this stuff aside from what you've done in this vid, so I don't mean any disrespect if this stuff is obvious. I've been getting into woodworking myself lately so some tools I'd recommend are:
    An orbital sander to go over panels at the end (Though it looks like you've already done that). A drill set going to 13mm in 0.5mm steps and get larger sizes as and when they are needed, a chisel drill set and countersink drill bits. When you pre drill the screw holes and countersink them, the screw heads sit flush and don't chip the wood. And that bit where the hole saw was skrt-skrtin all over the place, a step drill makes putting holes into sheet steel so much easier. A palm router for doing things like putting in that slot for the ketch on the inside of the lid, it would also be helpful to chamfer/round off the edge of the wood panels. F clamps, you seriously can never have enough of these things, but don't get them from wickes they're a rip off there, can get packs of 12 for like £50 on amazon. Something else I'd recommend but can be pricey, is a bench top mitre saw. Really helpful for making straight cuts perpendicular, on an angle, and to a stop so the pieces are all to the same length.
    Hope that's helpful and hoping you make more content like this Jay!

Bought a cheap sauna, Heather, for 250 dollars and wired to what used to be my kitchen stove . I had a kitchen in the living room and built a wall. 500 total. I have the best wood in my sauna. It's amazing what you can built yourself. I'm going to do a cold plunge next.
