You should post some recipes for the whites of the maple board.
There is no al
0:45 - Bear wood?!? I thought it was Cedar?!?
Ah, sorry, Squatch. "Bear" wood is a colloquial term for cedar in Michigan. Extract from rhe cedar rind is a key ingredient in gummy bears. You may also hear someone call it "gummy log" or "Haribo balsam" but that's more of an up-state dialect.
@@AlsCanoeKalamazoo Haribo Balsam has me crying 😂 😂
amazing music as always, almost as great as the canoe!
Turn the darn music down! Great video! Al should be proud of you.
Looks great! What are Al's thoughts on skipping the wooden pegs for the screw holes? Does he normally show his holes or plug them up?
At Al's, craftsman who put a focus on quality work are rewarded with a quality product. Those who put a minimal effort towards proper finishing and show lack of respect for detail are also rewarded with a product that matches their care, intellect, and hygiene. Others will know it for what it is. Thanks for your comment.
His name is Brian? Has he mentioned that before? The color strips are pretty cool now, looks great
I think it’d be fun to have a short two minute/three minute video with no talking, fit entirely around one of your metal songs. Kind of a fun short and different type segment.
Looking good! Tell Al I think he should give you a raise.
I have that same model table saw. I really like it for what it is. My main complaint about it is the fence doesn't always want to stay square to the blade. You did very well. Too bad Al's too tight to buy you some better tools!
@@jakewayrewa5201 some space should be opening up in the shop any day now. Then it's nothing but top of the line.
Very interesting. Binge watching "Al's Canoe Kalamazoo" before headed to Montana in two days.
First of all thank you for not shooting staples into a valuable wood and saying the holes won't bother you or anybody else or that you can't see them because that's simply not true.
@@robertbolding4182 well, the walnut is certainly staple free even though the holes would stand out the least against the darker wood. The rest of the completed hull had probably 30-40 staples scattered around. So, fair to call it a compromise approach. That, and many other imperfections will not be difficult to find under close inspection. I'll just have to somehow make peace with my god regarding that.
Looking good! I can't wait to meet Al.
@@SPROG_US yes, with so much happening at the shop, it's tough for Al to free up an opportunity, but it's just a matter of time. So much exciting progress coming up!
Mirror is possible
Awesome music!
Love the music. What band is that?
@@SteveRewa we secured permission to use the music of local legends Shades of Mourning. Response has been...mixed.
You ruined the video with all the loud music
Agreed. What the hull was that all about??
I actually watch the videos just for the music. There’s no way I’m going to do all this work on a canoe in real life.
The subtle storyline between the darker strips and the lighter strips (i.e. the nameless canoe maker and Al) is very sad. Classic story about good vs. evil.
Everybody on UA-cam does it the hardest way possible. Can you take 20 lb of wood strips that should have been able to make a boat in an hour and you turn it into 40 hours.
Robert, thanks for posting. Have you thought about putting out videos of your own? Could be helpful for some. ***40 hours is actually a pretty big underestimate. We don't need to get into it.
You can mark the sheer line in pencil on bare rwood then cover the boat with fiberglass cloth and epoxy and you can still see the mark to cut.
shut down the damn music
It must be great having Al for a mentor. He's nearly a legend!
Nice work. Have fun with it.
Looking good so far, the walnut will look cool. Just a suggestion, maybe try gluing up the scarf ahead of time. Also save yourself a ton of headache when you get to sanding the inside of the hull by wiping the excess glue off after each strip, especially up by the stems.
Thanks for the feedback. The glue is mostly wiped flat to keep the thick beads from hardening on, but it does leave some excess behind. Lots of builders do recommend wiping it off with a damp cloth. Pre-scarfing probably a good idea, too.
Want to know what holds strips apart? Glue. Use less
Little Gap triangle between the forms and the strip is where the hot glue goes.
I also enjoy scarfing walnuts.
Interesting subject but horrible noise as sound track. Sorry, I will not sit through this.
Tragic.
Agreed. Unwatchable.
For death metal canoe builders only. Haha
One popular way of attaching the strips is to simply staple through the into the forms. But it leaves holes. You may if you want sharpen the row of Staples on a whetstone. Canal sharper Staples will slide between the cedar strips without tearing fibers. After carefully pulling the Staples you may steam the whole set using moisture and heat. 50% of the Staples well completely and are now invisible. The remaining 50% are 90% smaller.
Just butt joint the short pieces together hot glue a splint across one side usually the outside of the boat build the boat then remove the hot glued splint. It's much faster much easier less of a headache.
All of the gaps in the boat hull will be coated with dried glue. Epoxy will not stick to it. When you go to sand it with an electric sander you'll shake out all the epoxy. Have fun. Take all your complaints to Bear mountain boats.
That music makes me wanna puke. All boat builders are cool so you get a pass.
Wow you put in the labor on that form that was enough to build a whole boat several times.
That looks really awesome! Al obviously taught you well.
World's largest guitar fretboard 🎸
You CAN stand on it.
Al has excellent taste in music.
Give Al my best.
I just put some hot glue on it to hold it together.
Wish Al all the best back at the shop.
Nice work! Can't wait to see what Al can do once he gets his shop in order.
Cnc cutter does all the work.yea would have worked.😅
