Have you also dreamed of building your own sauna but not really known where to start? This is a practical handbook that will help you through the whole process, from the first hammer blow to the first bucket of water on the stones.

All stages of construction are covered step by step, interspersed with carpentry tips and clear drawings. You will learn how the most important tools work and how to cast plinths, erect a frame, lay a roof, insulate and nail panels. Lisa will also show you how to build a door, renovate a window and make your own mud paint.

If you already have a sauna, you can use the plans as the basis for a garden shed, an outhouse or a carpenter's shed. In the inspiration chapter, you'll learn about other creative sauna buildings - from smoke saunas in the Finnish archipelago to a floating sauna in downtown Stockholm.

What they say about the book:

"Are you going to build a tool shed or guest cabin this summer? Then don't miss out on this gem of a carpentry school - the book is about so much more than just building a sauna (although there is of course plenty of inspiration for that too)."
