During the first weekend of May we held another incredible sauna building class at the shop with participants coming from as far away as Tennessee. It was a jam-packed four days as I went over everything sauna related, from layout and design and function of the sauna, to installing cedar tongue and groove, and bench, window and door details. We capped each day with a sauna, and even took the mobile sauna down to the lake for a Friday evening picnic.
We were lucky to have two projects underway in the shop to show and students got a chance to practice a little hands-on building. We also did several small demonstration projects so everyone could see close up how details like chimney assembly and stucco firewalls come together. By the time everyone departed on Sunday we had made a group of new friends.
