In Response To: Strip: Strip Soaking Tub *PIC* (Rob Macks / Laughing Loon CC&K)

: There are all kinds of things you can do with strips of different
: sizes.

: I built this tub from 2" X 4" X 4' northern white cedar
: "strips" on a half form which consisted of two plywood
: stations.

: I stripped the two halves with a channel cut near the bottom to
: capture the tub floor. The seat, and a bulkhead, under and at
: the front of the seat, reduce the volume of water the tube will
: hold, so my hot water tank will have enough water to fill the
: tub to the overflow drain, visible near the upper side. The seat
: and bulkhead were filleted in place from behind, through a hole
: "access port".

: Surfaces were glassed using a 6 oz. e-glass.

: To enter you climb the steps grab onto the bar on the wall and
: swing your legs over the tub edge and stand on the seat, then
: sit down.

: So many projects, one more down!

: The toilet and sink, and plumbing for them, will be moved to a wall
: perpendicular to their current location next month. Then I have
: to figure out what to do with the rest of the bathroom to finish
: it off.

: Yes, that is the behind of a sheep you see outside my bathroom
: window! The wife is now a proud something-or-other since her
: ewes gave birth to 6 ram lambs.

my wifes' comment - 'I just wanted a coffee table' may have hit a nerve...
