it‘a beauty

amazing work! what are the materials you used?

Cool way to build. No skrues just wood

As a total newbie (getting ready to make a Greenland paddle) without a chop saw or any real woodworking experience, how do you recommend making the little blocks for setting the angle? Any other method for setting the angle? Thanks!

To add tumblehome to your canoes, just cut the middle 5 or 6 mortises on the gunals on a 5 to 15 degree angle pointing out. The bottom of the ribs will then need to be wider at the bottom and curve back in the connect to the gunals. This will interfere with the ability to nest, but not every canoe builder wants to do that anyway.

Thanks for taking us along on your Baja adventure! Love the outrigger testing. Have you considered a sof outrigger?

Great video Brian. I use Calibration Fluid instead of water when sharpening. No fear of rusting.

Solid information across the board Brian. One small correction though. The Shapton glass stones have a thin ceramic stone bonded onto a glass plate. Not particles bonded to the surface as with diamond stones. And warning to anywho tries them - DO NOT SOAK THEM IN WATER! The ceramic surface will swell up and trash the stone. Getting them wet during use is fine. I found this out the hard way as I leave all my water stones soaking all the time. Happily Lee Valley replaced it for me because those glass stones ar F***n expensive! I keep my stones flat by rubbing one against the next a few times every time I sharpen and once in a while, hit them with a diamond stone for good measure. I use a somewhat different method than you but anyway you get your tools to the sharpness you need is a perfectly legit method to use. This one is probably the best for the new woodworker to wrap their head around and yield solid results. I used it for many years before drifting to a different freehand method. Great stuff Brian. Sidenote - Wet/dry paper is intended to be pre-soaked for a while before use. I have no idea if it makes any difference though.

Hi Brian, I was looking for your Amazon link for the stones? Thanks for the video, sharpening my block plane was on my to do list!

Absolutely beautiful a work art 🖼️ perhaps a rudder (wood of course) lovely video thanks for sharing 🇿🇦

Loved your content

Beyond excited about a skin on frame sailing project!

Really appreciate all the ASMR joinery. But. . .gotta say. . . Going with fibreglass woulda saved all kindsa time!

hey I wanted to ask if I could use nylon canvas instead of ballistic nylon or dacron. Both are expensive and hard to find. Really need an answer would appreciate it

would love to see links to those paddle builders you mentioned

cool

I’m always interested in your videos, from arcane measuring to fishing adventures. Ramble away! Many people’s fully prepared lectures aren’t as good as your off-the-cuff ones.

Brian, before building an F1 and the CF Canoe, I built a SOF Greenland from the Morris book using anthropometric measurements. It’s a great paddle. It would be interesting to compare survey data to your LPB.

I enjoyed this video too - thank you for shooting and posting it. One question: how would you measure the positions of the ribs of a skin boat? That would seem to be a bit tricky with the skin on!

I enjoyed it. I learned some details I didn’t understand in the past. Thank you.

Super interesting! ...and very clever! Thanks! 🙂

That was a really well executed presentation. I've been wanting to take an out of production composite boat that I own and reproduce it with a marine ply doorskin veneer core. However, curves tend to be more challenging than chines. Interesting to hear that you're considering fuselage design. More builders means more paddlers means more stewards. If lighting and sound were cause for not doing anything, most people would never get out of first grade. The message and information came across well.

I'm always wondering about your F1, if it could be translated to stitch and glue panel construction. Because, y'know, bulkheads. Has anyone ever tried it, or is it even something you would be ok with?

I'mm 300lbs, and over 6', do you have a kayak for me?

Amazing info! Thanks from Argentina

Very solid, thanks for sharing 👍

Perfection 👍

Awesome… how about a nice Baidarka design ? I’d purchase some plans for sure.

Damn nice catch Brian! I would toss that in the pan too. Never heard of a tiger trout either. A good friend of mine swears by that type of rod. Never tried one myself.

Absolutely amazing! The craftsmanship is superlative. I'm an amateur boatbuilder, but I just do stitch and glue or chine log method. This is definitely above my pay grade! Also I really like the music; what and who is it?

I want to make one of these so badly

If you actually catch a fish you're not doing it wrong.

Salut à Tous, Bonjour, Madame, magnifique travail avec le bois, je ne fait que pour ma part du modèle réduit bateaux et j’aime travailler le bois et la résine modestement, car je suis Aide Soignant de métier. Je n'avais jamais pensée en tendre de cette façon la fibre comme un tambour, avant de mettre la résine, très beau travail, vous en avez construis sans doute une grande quantité car vous avez l’air de faire ce travail avec facilitée, alors que c’est très technique. Bravo et respect, je m’abonne et je vais regarder vos autres vidéos. 😊😊😊

Great! Very well explained!

Beautiful video and beautiful work!! Nice and great job!

Seriously awesome.

Wonderful outline of tools...

Hi, Brian. Great update video. Thank you so much. Always love your dedication to this and helping us out with our build!

I only used hand tools when building my greenland paddle, I used a pull saw and a scrub plane, it's a real workout but working with a scrub plane is really satisfying! You can also make a scrub plane out of any old plane by just rounding the blade, that worked well for me!

👏👏👏

Admire your cool work ❤regards from Tokyo.

so cool but I want to see you actually sail it man!

♥♥♥

Beleza❤

How much would it normally cost in materials to build a canoe like this?

Absolutely beautiful poetry in motion...no annoying music, or ridiculous voice over...True craftsmanship at its finest ❤🎉

What is that fabric

This video, and other recent ones while they were in Mexico, are so inspiring... enticing me to get outside and enjoy the beauty. On days I can't get out to immerse myself in nature, I can vicariously enjoy the beauty of the outdoors through Brian and Liz's adventures.

정말 멋지네요. 꼭 만들어보고 싶습니다. 자료를 공유해주셔서 감사합니다.

Damned fine fish and a perfect one to bonk.
