Ancient Hot Tub Craft | Shaping the Exterior of a Wooden Hot Tub with a Hand Plane - Video

This video shows an old traditional wooden hot tub craft, focusing on shaping the exterior of a wooden hot tub using a hand plane. The work is done slowly and carefully, following traditional barrel and hot tub making methods passed down through generations.

Every movement has a purpose — leveling the staves, creating a clean round shape, and ensuring a strong, solid structure. Hand planing allows the craftsman to feel the wood, adjust to each individual board, and achieve results that cannot be replicated with machines.
