Making a Boyne Currach / Coracle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 тра 2023
- In this video, Tom Delaney and I build a Boyne coracle.
The Boyne coracle is a traditional Irish water going craft made from woven willow or hazel rods and covered with a waterproof layer of animal hide or canvas. It has a circular shape and is designed to be propelled using a single paddle or a pair of oars. The Boyne coracle is named after the River Boyne in Ireland where it was commonly used by fishermen and ferrymen in the past. Today, the use of coracles is mostly limited to recreational activities, such as fishing and river paddling. The Boyne coracle is considered an important part of Ireland's cultural heritage and is often featured in traditional folk songs and stories.

Big thanks to Joe Hogan for his guidance, without his help this would have been a far greater challenge. www.joehoganbaskets.com/
Also thank you to Lucy O'Hagan, for her advice with the raw cowhide. www.wildawake.ie/

This was so much fun to make!
It was lad, We will have to make a proper sea going currach next time.
Definitely! A traditional 3 hide currach in the shape of the kerry naomh óg would be class.

y’all are awesome 🛶
@@mikalajones8911 no you're awesome!
Wonderful! As a practicer of experimental archeology, look up Alaskan natives sewing techniques- simple, and completely watertight. It'll allow you to close up those gaps in the hull!
What amazes me is the number of different skills you boys have. You do the Irish proud.
I loved the cat breaks, that was absolutely delightful
This is amazing, I just started some projects after finding some old tools in my garage. because of you I found inspiration to restore and use some of my old tools. Have a great day lad
thanks for the comment. glad my videos are inspiring you.
I'm actually doing my thesis on the Currach. Such a fun little boat.
Incredible. Just yesterday I was reading about the goddess ceridwen and stumbled across a type of boat I’d never heard of called a coracle and of course went down a rabbit hole about how to build them. This is perfect
Were you reading about Taliesin getting caught in Gwyddno's weir?
The hug after y'all ripped it out of the ground was so satisfying to watch
Amazing work, I’m waiting on seeing you cross the ocean to Canada
I just bought my first wood plane today and some saws you inspired me to build stuff out of wood and restore old tools. Im so happy I found your content you're awesome!
So that's how Reepeecheep did it! The Narnian champion in his coracle that sailed solo towards the Emperor beyond the sea. Thank you for showing us the process. Hard but fabulous! Well done. Greetings from Australia.
Well done, thanks
Great video, we need to see more of your boat-making skills in the future mate. Have a good one
I saw the short video for this and I was so exited for this to come out! Love your stuff!
My great grandparents came from Cork. Coracles are far older of course, but I find an odd fascination with the complexities and brilliant genius found in this ancient technology. Thank you for enlightening my look back from over here in Utah, USA. And…thanks for “watching the language.”
I don't know if Eoin's a prude like you Utahns, but as an entirely different viewer I'd appreciate if your influence was minimal here.
That's amazing fellas! Great work and great content!
This is epic. Recently got the coracle books, and been scheming to make one of my own suited to the river by my house! You did a proper job on it!
I love this so much. You have got to be one of my favorite creators on this platform, and I wish these longer form videos would get more views. They’re so calming!
I knew I was gonna enjoy this as soon as I heard "we need at least 6 inches of topsoil"
Im writing a novel where the character is in a boat of this type and I have never seen one, and so this will be so helpful to me to describe it and sense what it is like. Thank you for sharing.
Bro! I freaking LOVE your videos, You're a cool Fella, Always wanted to check out Ireland ❤
I've got books on the coracle and it's on my long list of projects I've always wanted to do. LOVED this video!
Ah lads that's brilliant, fair play to ye! The smile between ye at 14:07 was class haha!
Lovely work👍👍👍🙏
Excellent value, the only thing missing was the fire 🔥 pit copious amounts of mead and whisky with the smell of food being cooked over the fire 🔥 pit… great weekend… AND it floated… well done…
Why Irving Finkel at the British museum would LOVE to see this.😁 See his talk regarding noahs ark ✌️
I like doing things the old ways... I recently learned the skill of meat curing and sausage making, I also enjoy wood working with hand tools as well as restoring old tools which led me to Eoin Reardon.
I see stuff like this and i think of Hamlet's speech, What a piece of work is man.
But i mean it with admiration. Only humans could think to take a bunch of stiff but flexible reeds, weave them all together and slap a hide on the bottom to make a boat.
We're amazing and terrifying and insane. The paragon of animals.
Great video
Both wonderfully simple and incredibly complex
Fair play lads, awesome build😉👌
I cut my first board in my life the other day, now I'm here watching this considering handcrafting a boat hahahahaha
About 20 years ago I saw one of those on the rte show hands and said to me self "I have to make one of those " maybe this year I might make an effort
I have never seen this type of water craft anywhere but in Ireland it's genius stuff, and you've both done excellent work 👏.
Well done lads.
Amazing to witness - those three days were more than worth it! Love all your videos, and great to see these traditional structures (and in other videos, so many tools) kept alive. As a bushcraft enthusiast, I'm definitely going to have to find a moment to construct one myself!
Your trusty Opinel had a rough time, but it did the job amazingly!
I've gotta say one of my favorite parts of these videos is how every bit of what you're saying is totally understandable to my American ears until one of the older folk how up and you all revert into the native tongue hahaha I know it's still english and I'd say I'm fairly good at understanding accents after enjoying so much media from Ireland and GB over the years, but once you guys go native I truly cannot understand a word and I love it haha. Keep the culture alive!
Good show.
great to see an Irish build, I've built a Boyne style coracle, and helped build probably 70 or so other ones (here in Wales) respect for going straight in to a hide one! my first two were calico and pitch, the third, well best we don't mention that
Does the hide require any kind of waterproofing?
My goodness how amazing to be taught by Joe Hogan, he has become quite a legend, that was a beautiful model you made and an amazing little boat thank you for the video ❤
I love your videos and have learned so much! I truly appreciate it! Went out and got myself some trusty linseed oil! Sanded an old axe handle for my brother and the linseed made it look so beautiful! Much love from Canada 🇨🇦 cheers!
That is fantastic.
thanks lad
This is great! It was fun to watch and I learned about something new.
Fantastic to see these crafts kept alive.
Brilliant lads 👏 entertaining and educational lovely to see these older ways of artistry
this is really cool.
wow Ireland seems cool bro
Amazing work
Very cool. All that hard work seemed so peaceful with the animal sounds in the background and greenery. ❤
Fascinating!! Beautiful to watch
Great information of Irish folkcraft.
Thank you
Love these videos man
Nice boat
You've got me wanting to make one for myself, and I hate rowing 😂😂
I spy with my little eye, a No.8. Opinel. I think I saw you use it to sharpen the points of the rods.
Cool video.
(Edit: I definitely saw your Opinel when you were cutting the twine)😉
Awesome😎
So amazing beautiful tribute to history
I was happy to hear the name Joe O'Hogan.
A wizard of a gent.
Frigging AWESOME!!!!!
Excellent lads FairPlay! I watched the whole thing was just looking for this!
That was nothing less than amazing!
You can do anything at all you try. Amazing!
I love you boating videos, would love to see more of your traditional boat adventures
Fascinating, as well as therapeutic. Such a beautiful craft❤
Such a beautiful art!
Amazing work gentlemen!
Well that was cool!
I’d love to see a Q&A with Eoin so much!
Excellent stuff!
We're all adults, swear as much or as often as you'd like brother! 👍👍
What did he say?? 6:52
@@dericrogers5594"it's recording there now, so watch your language"
"Yeah, that's true"
great stuff, well done!
That was class!
You and Hollywood Hogan should redo one in the shape of a canoe. I’m not sure if you guys have birch trees in Ireland, but the wood be cool to see if you could build one birch bark style.
That’s a fine looking job you did there. And all with traditional tools and skills. It’s a lost art.
You should make a proper sea goin currach lad, that’d be brilliant to see.
great video!
Little wonder, how years ago, working folks would have arms like legs. Good on yer both, the birth was painless.
it looks great! also a bit like a headcrab from half life. looks great!
W O W 😍
Tom looks a lot like Tommy Makem's son Rory, who's performing with Liam Clancy's son Dónal these days.
3 questions: How long do one of these last?
Where’d ya get that fine hat?
And where’d ya get that ol conductors shirt? Company I bought from here in the US quit selling their old timey line and I just dont jive with the new style.
More Patches content, please 😊
Gentlemen, great job💥 I would like to buy a shepherd's chair🥁
early, niiiiice
great video btw, honestly this made me want to make my own (i dont know how i will but i'll have a think)
Looks great.
Mind if I ask where you got the willow? Is there a place selling it or did you just cut it locally somewhere?
I remember looking a few years back and couldn't find anything.
Sounds like such and amazing way to live not doing a 100 PhDs only to be working your arse off at a computer desk for someone else who tells you what to do and nonsense
I enjoy these videos makes me wish i were living such a life
Let it dry out then put some wax on the leather so it lasts longer.
👏👏
I just saw Joe hogan on the TV
Anyone else see him talk and go omg there's 2 of them
I believe the coracle was first invented when a Montgolfier Fire Balloon popped it's bubble and fell into the sea.
When he said..."we need about 6 inches..." TAKE IT AWAY BOYSSSS"
I feel like I would dump myself out of it immediately
Amazing work guys! What steps have you taken to prevent the skin from rotting? Commonly seen to apply salt so far I know.
tôi xem hết video và rất ngạc nhiên về cách làm thú vị này
I wish I could do stuff like this but don’t have the talent
its just still!! skills can be built! all is not lost! just gotta be crazy enough to pour hours and hours into one thing
@@tinnedrat Sorta like how Im setting up to learn flint/chert knapping. Practice practice practice.
Joe Hogan, got a big podcast that one has.
Would there be any benefit to tanning the skin? For the sake of longevity.
I feel like You could jump ship ( pun intended ) To Flat-out SHipbuilding.
You have the tools and you damn sure have the skills, Give it a run with a Canoe and then see if you can't make an outrigger or something
