What does his blogness do to prep for winter? Ski tuning, boot fitting? Hot tub improvements but of course!
Getting the radius correct was a challenge as the tub isn’t perfectly round. But it turned out much nicer than our former edge detailing, which was simply a chunk of PU fire hose.
The wood fired wilderness tub required a few repairs, we figured it was time for nicer edging so a swing-arm router jig was cobbled up and the redwood sliced. Still needs sanding and a few other finishing touches, but we like. Much better support for the wine glasses after a day of ski touring.

Could this be the model for WildSnow?

Looking pretty luxurious up there…..
Hi Scott, yeah, it took about three days to make those four “smiley” boards using a router swing arm system. They’re too precise, I could have probably just installed them then cut the circle with a jigsaw. But any excuse to use as many tools as possible… Reminded me of those days carpentering Aspen mega-mansion jobs, when the “one board day” was not uncommon. Next time any real craftsmanship happens up at the HQ, you’re invited (smile).
