If you've ever spent time sitting in a sauna, you'll know that you're bound to sweat. The heat will sting and might even become unbearable.
However, after coming out of the sauna, you're sure to feel better soon — because you will have reaped its immense health benefits! Sure, you can try eating a variety of health foods to strengthen your body, but there's nothing like a good ol' sweat session to supplement your routine.
Imgur user JoeCMorgan undoubtedly understood this when he worked on his college DIY project. Using an old Vauxhall Combo van, this crafty young man created a one-of-a-kind mobile sauna!
First, he replaced the front end of the van with a tow bar, so that it could be used as a trailer. Then, he installed laminated wood floors, pine wood benches, and insulated walls.
The interior comes complete with compartments, speakers, and other amazing features.

For a college project, Joe Morgan decided to tear a van apart and completely transform it. With leftover parts, he would turn the empty space into something spectacularly innovative: a moving sauna.
After removing the front section of the van, he inserted a steel nose that would contain the wood-burning stove and chimney. Then, he replaced the old fuel pump with a water pump.
He attached a water tank on the bottom of the van, and ran a a shower pipe along the inside of the van. Then, he put laminated flooring in place.
Wooden panels were sanded down and attached on all sides as walls.
He added speakers to the back of the van, and drilled down seats over the wheel arches.
As you can see here, all the seats housed compartments to hold CDs and belongings.
Then, it came time to install the 1920s Swedish Husqvarna wood-burning stove.
After it was cleaned out and sprayed down, the stove was fitted in the back, close to the speakers.
Finally, it came time to test out the sauna. Luckily, it worked perfectly! Temperatures inside reached a wonderful 194 °F.
Saunas provide several health benefits. By sweating deeply, the body temperature rises, causing the blood vessels to dilate and blood flow to increase.
Not only did Joe skillfully apply his woodworking and DIY skills to the project, but he ultimately saved several thousands of dollars by crafting his own unique sauna.
