Cool. And, if you want to buy a wood stove for it, here's the
place. Personally, I think there's enough info from just looking at the
stove to make your own - if you've got a welder - and I do.

They used to have a very cool picture, of a someone in one of their
wood-fired hot tubs, which was floating in a lake.

I got dizzy looking at that thing. They said that when it was being turned,
everything but the toolrest was moving. It would be like working in a
whirlpool. Incredible scale. Those aussies are nuts. But it looks like a
lot of fun.

Not anymore apparently. Looks like they couldn't make it as boatbuilders so
they decided to become bathtub builders and didn't do any better there--one
used to be able to buy a very nice 30 footer for what they want for a bloody
bathtub, which might have something to do with it. Now they're looking to
sell "plans and licenses", probably for more than the plans and licenses for
an airplane or a Herreshoff yacht.

Plans, OK, I can understand that; but "licenses"? That just sounds
stupid.

Awhile back saw a picture of a very nice wooden tub, cedar I
believe, custom made to fit in a boat. No plans, just made to fit in
the space available. Fibreglass and epoxy to waterproof it. Very nice
job. Custom top to cover it when not in use too. None of it's rocket
science.
