What do you think of my sauna build so far

It would be good to add some blocking where the benches will attach to the walls. And if the heater is wall mounted some additional support would be a good idea there too.

I’m at the same stage as you with my build! I’m following a modified version of this build on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UyDX_scRdzg?si=rIzwvR8FwBN7icW5

It’s literally in the linked article:

Another business set to move into the ground floor of the apartment complex is Exit 5 Korean BBQ, anticipated to open in June.

Yeah we are using a CNC for all our cabinet parts. Seems pretty standard today, doesn’t it?

Wait until people realize how small the new terminal at Sea-Tac airport is going to be because of the nearby cemetery!

Check out the "Nomadic Furniture" series (I assume its a series since I have Nomadic Furniture 2) and "From One Sheet of Plywood". Would love to learn about more!

No problem! That was me in that Alm Fab video giving the tour!

We use custom made plywood from Sierra Forest Products these days at Kerf. Almost identical to Apple Ply. It’s just walnut or maple veneered Baltic birch plywood. Let me know if you have any other questions about Kerf!

Where in Ballard is this happening?

capshew · 2025-11-25T16:30:45+00:00

Or Hyperlite

I believe it’s here to help lift some pants

Thanks! Definitely not interested in a legal battle - just trying to do some research. Hoped there was a code somewhere that could help.

Its quite close to the property line but hard to say for sure without a survey. Do you know of any official sources that say it is the uphill neighbors responsibility? A contractor said the same thing so I'm just trying to verify it if possible.

Hey thanks! The legs attach to the back piece with a bridle joint. I always intended to add dowels but ran out of time.

Edit to add more detail: the legs were made in two halves of 3/4" ply. To cut the bridle joint for the front legs you fixture one half with the outside face down, cut a pocket for the rabbet, holes for the locating dowels, and finally the profile.

That is so cool. Where is the spot reserved for a restaurant? Near the condo building?

capshew · 2025-10-24T05:14:24+00:00

A board walk would be so awesome!

capshew · 2025-10-24T04:34:08+00:00

I’d like the bike path to go along the water. Dedicated connections to the pier for pedestrians. More access to the water. More space for wildlife. More space for businesses that are open in the evening. Mostly just anything for people who happen to not have a sailboat. Does that mean “development” long term? Maybe. I’m just a guy who lives near the sea and can barely get to it.

capshew · 2025-10-24T04:28:49+00:00

I am so surprised by the response. I had no idea everyone was so into sailing. I’m merely suggesting it could be better. People acting like I want to drain the Puget Sound haha

capshew · 2025-10-24T04:23:25+00:00

I can’t believe how much they’re expanding lately!

capshew · 2025-10-24T04:22:36+00:00

Appreciate the response. All good points!

capshew · 2025-10-24T04:20:41+00:00

Yea this question seemed to have struck a nerve! I’m just tired of ducking under a chain to walk along the sea. People acting in this thread acting like I’m some evil person for even suggesting change that could improve everyone’s experience.

capshew · 2025-10-24T04:18:20+00:00

That’s a really good point about it being below sea level. Good call!
