Post: RE: Finish on an MDF workbench

The inside footprint is 6x6. It's big enough to hold 4 people comfortably, or 6 people if you're already good friends.

Post: RE: Sauna build
I really liked the idea of building an outdoor one as well, with a wood burning stove, but my wife vetoed the idea.  She wanted the "spa" experience, and in her mind that doesn't involve going outside...

Post: Re: How to shrink wood?
It's a fact that wood shrinks when it's cold. Heck, if I'm even a little bit chilly it happens. /ssl_proxy.php?url=/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
