If you want to see a professional cedar tub, here's a link. It's stupid expensive.
Tools Needed
- We need a Bead and Cove router bit set, 1.5“, with a 1/2” radius.
- Also called a Boat and Canoe set.
- We might need a beefy router for that. 1/2“ shank capability.
- Gonna need to cut a good Dado joint to connect the staves/sides to the bottom.
- Probably table saw here.
The Rough Plan
- Find a spot
- Make a foundation
- build a base using tongue and groove
- make side pieces using bead/cove bits and dado them to fit onto the bottom
- Put on the staves/sides
