I built a sauna from sawdust
I just released a new video documenting a full sauna build using an unconventional material: sawdust mixed with lime and cement (often called dustcrete).
This wasn’t a weekend experiment. The build took about four months, and the video walks through what worked, what didn’t, and why the system functions the way it does.
What the video covers
- Why sawdust, lime, and cement work together
- How the structure, bond beam, and walls interact
- Thermal performance and moisture considerations
- What I’d change if I built it again
This is a detailed, real-world build — not a highlight reel or a quick how-to.
If you’re experimenting with alternative materials or unconventional building methods, I think you’ll find this one useful.
