For this episode of "Tiny Yellow House" for Make Magazine, host Derek "Deek" Diedricksen pulls another idea from his book Humble Homes, Simple Shacks. This time, its an easy wooden boat made from little more than one sheet of plywood. More info: wp.me/p1CIX9-qLg - Навчання та стиль
Built this boat a week after this video first came out! I've taken it out a bunch of times since then. I've added outriggers and a trolling motor since as well, it's pretty perfect!
Meg, Corine, and Deek are the only reasons to keep Make/Craft around anymore. Thanks DEEK!
This show needs to be on DIY network sooo bad. I love it.
took mine out on the water for the first time yesterday!
Same basic shape but i took a little longer on the joins and used resin and fibreglass tape.
Thing is hella buoyant
Thank you Deek!
its not ugly to me, u gave me an awsome idea for a plywood boat im planning to make, the shelter prop is just what i need cuz i go miles away from any store fishin: brilliant!
i built one of these, i take it fishing every now and again. works great, no leaks. i have put a trolling motor and battery on it and it works fine.
"I make Casper the Ghost look like Keith David." - never before has an off-camera throw-away been so brilliant (and true).
Ohhhh, to be an extra from the movie "Swamp Thing" . . .
That fold up seat/kick stand is a good idea.
I have built many wooden boats I highly recommend fiberglass tape and risen on all the seems don't use silicone or calk
Kenneth Turk I've been researching into building boats and discovered an awesome resource at Denelle Boat Builder (google it if you're interested)
Thanks
Kenneth Turk why do you not use silicone caulk on seams & screw holes ?
I've been studying building boats and found a fantastic website at Denelle Boat Builder (check it out on google)

Great video, man. Love the humor. I'm trying to get to a little place for deer hunting next year.. no one goes there cause there is a 20 foot river too deep to cross by foot. This might just work!! #bigbucks
This guy is the best! I wish he had weekly posts.
Collin and derek are the only reason I'm subscribed to make
You should have your own channel. You are like the diamond in the pig trough that is Make.
l just discovered deek diedricksen on youtube l love your wit and the way you get your point across keep on keeping on
If you want it to last, I would recommend fiberglass tape on all edges that touch water, and be sure to fully paint the inside of the boat also, water will get inside one way or another, and if not waterproofed on the inside will cause the plywood to delaminate, destroying your boat.
Diedricksen is the best thing to happen to Make.
Deek's videos always make me laugh.
I just print screened 3:41 and made it my wallpaper. Thanks TYH for your hilarity xD
I just went on a beer float down the Yakima river and I got a hole in my rubber raft. I'm going to make this boat so that doesn't happen again. Thanks Deek.
well done my friend. I have made two one sheet boats and they were a joy for many years. yours Earl
Great attitude!
hey mate, that was cool. really enjoyed your presentation too. gonna make one yippie
Would it work if I doubled the recipe. Example, 2 sheets of plywood cut, 1 at 4 feet and 2 at 2 feet?
By far the best thing on the Make channel, and the reason I haven't yet unsubscribed.
Deek is the best nerdy rock star of all things micro relax shacks and now ...amphibious water crafts
thanks for making this video man now i found me something to do on this coming weekend lol fun!
3M 5200 will blow your budget but gives you a piece of mind when your drifting on the high seas, just use it in place of your silicone. Great build, love the kickstand!
This totally needs to be it's own channel
HAHAH! you are the most awesome guy on makemegazine! i LOLed through the whole video! Great job! :D
Awesome boat. This guy is creative.
even though i will never make this boat , thid video was really interesting
Great Video! I can't wait to make this!!!! 7:25 made me laugh so hard!!! lol
You're freakin' goofy, man!
This was cool. If you're cursed with city dwelling, you might think about castors on the bottom to avoid the launch fees at the local boat ramp. the castors also help to drag it around when you don't have a boat trailer. It was just a thought..
tiny yellow house just got a suscriber AWSOME IDEA
What a beast! He jumped over the entire house!
wow. this series is so entertaining
that actually is a really cool idea, i'm going to have to give it a try!
"Well I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
old Mississippi, she's callin' my name
cat fish are jumpin', that paddle wheel thumpin'
black water keep rollin' on past as the same!"
awesome boat and love the shorts and whats in it too
don't forget:
- the inflatable pillow for safety and comfort
- the folding mast with sail
very inspirational, thanks for sharing!
Yah this character SOOOO needs his own TV show.
dude you are hilarious! : )
Thank for the build.
Adventure Boat Time.... Thanks for the vid. Idea..... Angled rolled canvas, and a bi-pod type stand... Lil more snug... Perfect for camping...Thanks Bro.
Some 2x4 cross members would really help to stiffen things up. Also, not sure about everyone else, but living on the river means that I have some rolls of fiberglass laying around as well as resin. Coat the hull, stretch some fiberglass out and staple it down and coat that and you'll be waterproof for a long time.
Or you could just buy a fiberglass canoe with 2-3 times as much room for $150-200 on craigslist.
Actually, the trim parts aren't necessarily useless. Inwales and outwales, properly installed, will serve to help stiffen the hull.
this is way better than buying a canoe for triping fishing with friends... :)
That plexiglass window idea is mint man, live like a billionaire on a shoe string budget...
If it doesn't work as a boat, you can use it to hand-mix concrete.
I was just wondering if this boat tips easily like a kayak does? Or is it more sturdy?
Awesome. Get this guy his own channel.
O YEA I am totally making one!!!
thank you man
i been wanting to make a boat for a ling time
This video changed my life
you sir...need to do more!
whenever I first look at this guy, Irate Gamer pops up unwillingly in my mind. thumbs up if you agree :))
Hi deek's, great stuff. Youve inspired me to make my own workshed out the back garden after seeing your krunk bunk. I'm going to make it out of 4.2's, ply, and corrigated plastic roof. - what paint do you recommend i finish it with so that its waterproof? also how can i keep it damp free? i like in the uk lol. Regards k
love it! thanks for the share.
this is actually pretty cool
When building it for the bow do you have to cut the 2 foot piece of plywood and just use silicone you put it back on
This guy is too great for make magazine.
thanks so much great vid - this is a great kids project :)
In about 1962 I built a sea-flea from a single piece of plywood. I think the plans were in Popular Mechanics. With a 10hp outboard it was some fast. :-)
Great project.
wooot making one tomarrow
Great stuff! Is there any window footage?
Yeah--don't use silicone caulking.
For a slightly more refined boat, look up Mouse Boat by Gavin Atkin, or check out Hannu's Boat Yard. For any boat like this, a chine log (think of a piece, say, 3/4 inch square and as long as it needs to be) along the inside of the joints, screwed and glued, will enhance rigidity (which is a good thing-- it makes the boat easier to propel) and durability.
For a huge resource on all things build-your-own-boat, look for Duckworks Magazine on line
so i built it, i am quite impressed with the stability of it. i might make a video on it. i didnt put on the keel because i didnt feel a need for it. i still dont. although ive only taken her out in our tiny, windless lagoon. i was thinking about putting a trolling motor or possible a VERY SMALL outboard. like a 1.2 horse max! otherwise it could rip it apart. i guess the next project is the "Puddle Duck". look it up! i built the bolger brick, also look up, before this. it is the previous version
Try making a kayak paddle out of 5 gallon plastic bucket. Cut out paddles from side walls and screw onto stick or old aluminum tent pole add piece of swimming noodle or pipe insulator to make float and also stops water from running down to hands. I made 20 or more they work great and if plastic is to thin double up and pop rivet then together. Nice Video!
Can you conceivable build a seat for this, or even sit on the 1x4 that he's got on the back? Or will this make you kind of off balance?
hook two of those in parellel and it would make a good catamaran, put the tiny house on it and Viola!,a micro houseboat!!
"the mafia bodies, whisk by through this window" lol
"Paddle faster... I hear banjoes." :)
Awesome jump in the beginning of the video! Were you a professional athlete?
so how did it stand up to the abuse in the end?
Okay, what is that banjo tune? My back woods uncle plays it all the time.
you deserve more than 60000

I really like that window
Do you think that the boat would be able to stand the weight of a small trolling motor and battery for putting around in a creek or pond?
He has a knack for finding really nice wood along the side of the road...lol
Just needs some 16 inch strap-on bike wheels, amid-ships, and some sort of "wheel-barrel" handles or yoke-system. Makes me wonder just how a smallest-sized john-boat would compare, in weight, and cost, and "multi-mode" suitability. To put it another way ... cost aside ? ... What would be the most wieldy and transportable vehicle that is (at least) 8 feet long by (optimally) about 3-feet wide. Something trail-worthy that could be rolled over rough terrain and obstacles (like RR traks) .
I waited all the way to the end to see threw the Plexy Glass!
gotta love that silicone caulk
You can actually make a boat out of 2 sheets of ply by bending the wood into shape and tying it without actually separating the pieces.
How about a pair of 4" wheels on the back end to pull on the ground. And a couple rope handles on the front?
this guy is the 2nd best out of the crew.... mainly cus he has humor :D
...right after kipkay
why did we not get to see the viewing window in the bottom of the boat when he was on the lake? I DEMAND TO SEE THE SWAMP THROUGH THE VIEWING WINDOW! RAWR! ALL CAPS RAGE!!
Love the boat.how much does it weigh
i love the tiny yellow house
wonder how spray on bed liner for trucks would work? supposed to be some tuff waterproof stuff.
I would like to see this done with sheets of plexi glass instead of plywood. Completely clear boat
this is perfect for my 2hp outboard
This is so epic
That is cool!
would it matter if i used just liquid nails on the boat or why silacone caulk only if so ?
Can you put a trolling motor on the back?
that woulda been a horrible area to find out it leaks or sinks...but would have been entertaining. Great job, and thanks for the idea (kids will have fun with this)
i love small boats, built a few that i have on my channel. might have to try this one.
now thats awesome!
Once you get silicone on the ply you can never paint or varnish over it, epoxy is the way to glue the seams.
