Bathing in maple sap ia the most Canadian thing I've ever heard. And I love it.

That certainly brings back some memories, I used to program and operate a huge Hammerle brake press, basically making everything from huge steel doors, right down to smaller steel casing for extension leads, it was often quite physical work (which i'm paying for now) but I really enjoyed it :)

Congrats on finding such awesome success on your channel in such a short amount of time! I love what you do, and how you do it. I've been rewatching *literally everything* on the channel over the last week or so, so if your view count has been rocketing- You're welcome. ;) The building ASMR playlist is golden. But that being said, maybe one of my favorite series is about the little circle hut (Muffin Fort), because it's great how you sit and kind of talk about how you met people, and why you're doing this. Maybe you should make little 'mini cuts' of some of the more intimate chat moments, because it's just nice to hear more about why you do all of this and what it means to you and the people directly around you. Also, I love you, your wife, and your kid! You have such great chemistry on camera it's awesome. Be well, be safe, and good luck to the future. We'll be watching. Edit: What is even more awesome, is that I am not a carpenter, architect, woodsman, outdoorsman- etc- Yet I just love your channel and your flow. As a kid I wanted more than anything to build tree houses for a living, and to become a legit architect, but being hands on and crafty ended up not being my path, at all. So your channel almost gives me a sense of nostalgia to being a kid in the forest building all kinds of make shift forts and exploring the wilds of the trees. OH! Maybe some bloopers would be great, too. You're the real life Red Green, and I am here for it. Thanks again!

We all want to build a hot tub. Your heat exchanger design is very similar to most wood barrel designs. The exchange pipes have a somewhat limited amount of flow so it does take a long time to heat your tub. If your volume is roughly the same or less than a 6’ diameter tub 4’ tall then it should work great. Just have to start a fire well ahead of use. Exciting stuff Kevin. I’m getting all motivated to start my hot tub now.

Those machines are beasts! 🌀💚🌀

Boy, watching your friends operate that industrial break press reminded me of my short time spent in the sheet metal fabrication industry. The plant I worked at has been around since the late 1930's and been owned and operated by a couple different companies and is huge. It began as a plant that made commercial refrigeration units and freezers for meat processors, restaurants and grocery stores. My moms father, uncle and grandfather worked there during the second world war. In fact my great grandfather was killed in a boiler explosion in that plant. In the early 1960's my father went to work for the same company until it relocated to a newer facility in the mid 70's. The original owners sold it to another firm that made shelving fixtures for retail stores, that company operated the plant up till the early 2000's. About 1991 my brother-in-law went to work as a die maker for the shelving company and talked me into applying for a machine operator's job there. I did a was soon working in the same place that a significant portion of the male members of my family had worked. Before my first night on the job my father stressed to me the importance of following all the safety procedures while working with such powerful equipment and the proceeded to relate to me one incident where an operator got lazy and didn't follow the rules and mashed all 8 of his fingers off when the sheet of steel he was bending slipped and his fingers ended up between the dies as they closed. Needless to say that stuck in my head as I walked out on the production floor my first night. Funny enough, one of my supervisors worked with my dad years before. I never did feel comfortable working there on the same machines that had been there for over 50 years. I lasted 3 weeks before I found a nice job working in a grocery where no employee ever mamed themselves.

This thing is beautifully designed. It's a real pain to design something that can be bent into shape with tight tolerances, these people probably got years of experience and it shows... much more professional than slotted screw holes and 90deg bends that I would draw. So just a tip: Send the manufacturer the 3D files of the already bent parts, and let them flatten the individual parts into sheets, pay extra if needed cause it is worth it.

I ran an overhead crane in a Very Large Steel mill that made Stainless Steel. One of the Top Ten steel mills in the world. I would have to use a large dog to hold a very large heavy sheet of stainless steel up while the guys would bend it. I know all about these type of machines. TIG or MiG welding does a very nice weld.

Hello from Minnesota USA! Can't wait to see how well it heats.

oh man a hot tub project and welding stainless this is going to be a dandy project nice job Kevin and gang

Great project. I really thought you were making a giant evaporation tank. You have a great group of craftsmen in your area to work with. Will you have to add weights to the tub floor decking to get it to ‘sink’’? A little deck to connect the sauna area, the hot tub and the pond is going to make an outstanding entertainment area. Maybe add an outdoor shower and you will be all set. Can’t wait for the next video and thanks for sharing.

Excellent job with the metal fabrication and welding so far! The hot tub should work just fine, everything else you've come up with has, well, there was a smoker once...lol Looking forward to seeing the tub as built, Love what you're doing ❤️

You have a ready water supply, there is a utube channel thebossoftheswamp where Jim has a cabin and a compound in rural New Hampshire where they get water from a well dug in the 1700's about a hundred yards from the cabin. They haul it in buckets back to the cabin and to the greenhouse and for a washing machine, that would be quite a few trips to fill a hot tub.

Outstanding AF brother - great build

I'm so jealous of those press brakes, especially the big one. I have a manual sheet metal brake I could have done the fire box on but being able to make those long bends would be awesome! Are you going to try and move water around in the hot tub itself? I think that if it isn't necessary it would be a good idea. I mean the yeah the heat is gonna cause some movement itself in the water but it's still gonna be noticeably hotter the closer you get to the fire box. Maybe even uncomfortably so? I don't know we'll see I guess lol. On the other hand if you can't exchange enough heat with the fire box for some reason you can just add more and/or bigger pipes 👍

Great video as always Kevin! I still haven't figured out how you are doing this . I do know it will work considering you designed it . Looking forward to next week's video! Take care and stay safe my friend

TIG and MIG torches both produce an electric arc between the material and the electrode during welding. This melts the metal so the filler material can combine with it. Both welding processes require clean and clear surfaces to get the best results.

Great video can't wait for the next video to see what happens next.
