I am sooooo impressed. Longer paddle can make a quick tap on the water or even a paddle extend onto water a bit like an outrigger. You amaze me. My dad and the other men in our family were like you....creative and able to build, repair, design, etc. when I left home for the military....I innocently believed that all men were like you. Boy.... she’ll shocked indeed. Fortunately, I was well trained by my dad to do such things on my own. But, dang, have not applied these skills in forever. Until I watched your videos....I miss living on a boat..... you, my friend, inspire us. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. You make the world a much better place. There is a saying that those with a constant smile on their face and who smile from the depths of their soul, were at birth, able to see the angel that was to guard over them in life. May you touch many hearts. So appreciate the knowledge you share. Could you please list the reference books you use in your videos. The links to Amazon and other places for the ones you did list are always appreciated. Thanks for sharing.
Kudos to you sir! With obviously not much skills on wood work and boats, a minimum on technical equipment and alone(!) you built a beautiful kayak! Congrats!
That was really nice Sam, don't listen to anyone who tells you anything negative. constructive help is something altogether different but not many people have the courage or perseverance to make their own boat but they will criticise from the sidelines. well done, gave me a good smile to see you paddling and proud.
Found this old one from your channel: On display here are your patience, skills, and creativity to improvise using the minimum of equipment and setup, which was a great predictor of your success with on boat repairs and improvements! I'd have been screaming in frustration with the difficulty of steam bending and fitting and get upset that it didn't quite turned out as expected.
Comes close to the same surface area because it has a longer surface area th at makes contact with the water. The paddle makes it easier to do some of the Greenland rolls when you tip over.
I find myself complaining about not having the right tools or workspace to get projects done. Then I see a circular saw with one battery, a rooftop, a hand planer, a floppy plastic table and a couple of chairs turning out a pretty decent skin on frame boat.
I'm really impressed that you can use the skill saw that way and the cut is straight. Had I been the one cutting it would be all crooked. You are very skilled!! But I have a question: how did you get the water out of it when it turned over?
Sam, you are absolutely amazing. There is nothing you cannot fix or build. Absolutely amazing.

Like your work shop weather permitting 👍
Great build Sam, impressive.

I was very happy for you when you splashed the boat. Great job!
Thanks for sharing your process man.
Awesome thank you. I admire and adore handy hands. It looks so simple...
My canoe also tipped me out first time in the water. Thanks for sharing.
Nicely done; particularly impressive how you persevered with the tools you had; a tablesaw would have simplified a lot of the build.
You are one talented dude.👍
Nice job , I'm trying it for years , never happened. Congratulations.
Thumbs up here, you showed if there is a will then there is a way and you don't need a pile of tools or a fancy workshop.
Good morning 👍🏿
I like how you bent the ribs in under the keel, pretty slick using the gunwales to pinch them, never thought of that.
lol, also, nice plane work at 9:13!
wow! amazing!
beautiful
Thanks so much great video personally will never completely understand Greenwood paddle always thought moving water was the object

I suspect Sam Holmes was a triathlon competitor in Wake Forest. I bet swimming and bicycling were his best events.
very nice build, should also think about adding a bulk head or two so it doesn't sink when you capsize
SuperPukingRainbows Make buoyancy bags, weld your own from heavy duty plastic sheet.
ice job , congrats ... you'll need a sprayskirt next ... once you have got one , learn the roll ... it'll change your life

you gotta get that paddle a lot sharper edged, it'll bite better at the catch and be quieter.
next time use balistic nylon for the skin.
better puncture resistance and it wont rot from the inside out
Plus the cost of one thumb tip. So, how much does it weigh when completed?
100$ ? ...how much did you pay for all the tools? :D ...beautiful boat btw, very well built... ;-)
Hey Sam, what instructable did you use to build the kayak? Great work.
Thanks
How did you figure out how long the ribs needed to be
Having a big job means Tools with a cord work better than tools with a Battery.
Why not install the seat?
What was the design?
I understand the framing part… What was the material you used… And what did you cut it with?
Douglas fir. Circle saw
is that cloth???
@@samholmessailing hahahahaahaha man that awesome, i think exterior house paint have some kind of rubber.
I'm at 9:27 and I'm super impressed with your ingenuity but I noticed you hurt yourself?!
Yeah that razor saw got be good lol
It seems like a lot of your tools are dull.
Woodprix is a good solution for every woodworker.
Tools audio way too loud
3x as loud as voice
My poor ear drums
Awwww, did the loud music hurt your ears princess?
kevocos
You must have such a shifty life 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Oh no, first your poor little ear drums got hurt and now your feelings.
It's a cruel world princess.
HTFU buttercup.🙄
YEs, some VST sound compressor would be nice...but what a heck, i just woke up whole house..😂 Other than that, great DIY.
