If there’s one thing I know how to do well, it’s make sawdust, which is what I did all day while turning rough-cut hemlock into what will be the pieces for the sauna duck boards.  (Technical note: duck boards are used to make a floor in wet locations.  They are made from narrow pieces of wood, blind fastened to cross members with gaps between each piece so that water can drain. Duck boards are put together in removable sections so that the area underneath them can be cleaned as needed.  The sections sit on top of the floor joists, forming a floor.)
