how is this holding up 2 years later?

I once built a hot tub from pallets and a washing machine pump, with a copper coil going into a barrel with a fire in it. Took all day to heat up, but it was awesome.
-
This would require a second mortgage to buy that wood in Canada.

After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans youtube.com/post/UgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR… i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!

Are we going to ignore the Snow White moment, where a chipmunk just came up to her hand and said hi?

For the side panels you mentioned not having clamps long enough. I’ve used ratchet straps before for a similar situation with no problem. Just a handy tip for someone who might have some laying around. BTW if you’re worried about finish I used some cheap moving blankets to protect the piece. Happy making everyone!

Finished mytub. Actually a Japanese soaking tub. 6 2x6’s high like theirs, 36” square and i used regular hot tub pump and heater. I had a nice piece of black walnut to used it to make a nice “caprail” to finish off the top.

Great video! Fast, ingenious, clear and nothing extraneous. Thank you for a brilliant video that gives me what I want and doesn’t waste my time.

We are loving this DIY Hot Tub Flex Machine! And those speakers are BUMPIN'! When's the party?! 😎💪
-
Bro if building stuff doesn’t workout you can start a channel on how to get shredded?
-
I just want to say how much I appreciate that the native advertisement for the video sponsor was relevant to the main video and instead of distracting from the content actually added to it. Bravo.
-
I was going to make a silly comment regarding the present cost of cedar, but when I added up an approximate cost, it actually seems fairly reasonable considering the cost of real hot tubs and the annual service costs needed to keep them functioning year after year. You could possibly repurpose this where a hot tub is pretty much garbage in the end. Great video!
-
I’d be interested is seeing a follow up video a year later and how it’s doing after the wood sits through a winter or two. Cool project with very few tools, I like it!
-
Wow, that was amazing. I guess it goes to show how well the Flex Seal product works. It's going to be interesting to see how long term this construction is!

You can build this out of plywood, but you would need to frame it with dimensional lumber in order for it to withstand the outward push of the water. Polyamide Epoxy will seal it perfectly. It comes in a variety of colors (including clear) and it is widely used in plywood aquariums. It would certainly be cheaper to build with plywood.
-
You could use rigid insulation between the two walls to help keep it warmer.
-
Love it. I did a similar one out of marine ply for my container home, did 3 layers and it still leaked in the corners ended up putting lots of clear silicone in the corners to fix it, kinda similar to yours. Respect from NZ
-
Cost of lumber probably made this same price as a new hot tub. :)

The Chipmunk Inspector at 6:41 gave this job a seal of approval. So I'm all in. Subscribed. 👍🏾

6:41 Best part of the entire video. Did anyone else notice that awesome moment?
