Congrats on your build! I ripped the cedar into 1/4” thickness and used a standard 1/2" Shank 1/4" Diameter Flute and Bead Router Bit Set. I’m not sure of the make but suggest you get a good quality carbide set. (1/2” shank has better stability but if you only have a 1/4” router then that’s will work as well). Let me know how your next canoe turns out and enjoy the build. Cheers.

Thanks for watching! I glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed watching it.

That is a good question. These keels are encapsulated into the hull so that would be a big project. Perhaps one can find a H25 at a wreckage yard? They are built in Florida and probably most numerous there. Can I ask what happened to your boat that a new keel is required?

Thank you very much. Enjoy the building process and of course the sauna experience. Cheers.

Thank you for the question. Not including the trailer (which has been upgraded to a tandem axle now), total, with the stove, was around $7800 CA. All exterior Cedar was reclaimed from my house siding so cost me nothing.

Thank you very much!

Thank you for your kind words and I’m sorry to hear about your country’s crisis. Unfortunately, I no longer have the canoe plans but there are many websites and other videos which have detailed instructions. The most important step is the build the strong back and internal frame. Once you have this the rest is straight forward as per my video. Hope you get your canoe built. Cheers.

@@AjBProductions Thanks Andre, I am very grateful for your response.

Appreciate it! Thanks.

Thank you very much!

Thank you for the kind words. There is a saying “ price is a state of mind”. I have seen a range of $1,000 to $60,000 for handmade canoes. This was my first (and last) canoe and took around 150 fun filled hours to make.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for your question. I used West System 105 epoxy resin. I don’t have the viscosity data but it has relative density on 1.15 (if that helps). Cheers.

Thank you very much. I recommend you go and build one. Really not that hard. Cheers

Ha ha! It was ham (spam would be cruel) 😁

Next time!

Thank you very much!

Thank you for your question. I haven’t travelled over too much gravel roads, only two miles per year as I haul it between my cottage and home the rest is all highway. No issues at all with it at as all interior wood joints are glued as is the cedar siding. I think having it mounted to its own aluminum base frame, the unit is very stiff and strong. I also upgraded the trailer to a longer tandem one for better stability at highway speeds. Cheers.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! Bob’s Special is actually the name of this model (probably designed by a guy named Bob). Thanks again. Cheers.

Thank you Alex for your kind words. A foot note to the project is that I upgraded the trailer to a tandem axle as the single axle trailer was a bit unstable at highway speeds. She pulls like a dream now. Cheers.

Thank you very much! I am happy to have shared the building process. Cheers from Canada.

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!!

Thank you too!

Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed watching it.

The sauna only is 600 kg and the trailer has a capacity of 680 kg. I upgraded the trailer to a double axle after I made the video as the single axle trailer was unstable when over 90 km/hr. It pulls very well now. Thank you for your question. Cheers.

@@AjBProductions thanks for you answer

Thank you very much!

Congratulations. Took me a bit longer than one month but worth every second.

Thank you very much for your kind words. Yes, keeping all my fingers is a priority for me. Cheers.

Thank you too!

Thank you very much David. I will post more in the future but also have a few videos up from past years on my channel if you want to see them.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you very much! Cheers.

Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

That is called fibreglass cloth and can be purchased at your local boat building supply store. I used West System epoxy resin. Cheers.

Thank you! If I recall, the insulation part was just not that interesting and I needed to wear a mask so decided to skip recording it. I used Rockwool insulation and had to split it in half to fit in the 2x2” wall studs. On the roof, I was able to fit the full insulation sheet as the trusses are thicker. Cheers.
