What happens here

Premium tongue and groove cedar planks are installed horizontally on the interior walls and ceiling of the sauna. The presenter uses a Brad nailer, carefully firing nails into the tongue part of the planks at an angle to conceal the fasteners. This technique ensures a clean, smooth cedar surface, essential for a comfortable sauna experience. The planks are fitted tightly together, using a rubber mallet and a wood block as needed to ensure a snug fit without damaging the cedar. Spaces are left for speaker cutouts and light strips. The presenter also highlights adding support cleats for the benches and a small trim piece along the base.

Goal: Tongue and groove cedar planks are installed on the interior walls and ceiling, using Brad nails to hide fasteners and create a smooth, aesthetically pleasing finish.
