    I've wanted to build a cedar strip kayak for over ten years and I say every year "I'll do it this year". When I mentioned it to Corin he was super keen so we started to plan it. We only had 2 weeks which stretched a couple of days over that and I milled the timber before hand. Even though I think we did very well and had a great time. We didn't manage to finish mine but I'm keen to get to it soon and I still need to work out whether to finish the deck with kumiko or not. I'm really unsure how to make it into another video without covering what we've already shown but I'll have a think about it and see what I can work out.
    If you interested in building a kayak yourself then check out Nicks channel which shows how to build a kayak in far more detail than what we've shown in this video ua-cam.com/users/NickSchade
    And here's the link to the plans we used guillemot-kayaks.com/catalog/strip-built/sea-kayak-recreational-kayak-solo/petrel-play
    Check out Corin's Instagram here and feel free to contact him instagram.com/corin_at_gameco/
    A big thanks to Darcy at Mooloo Timbers for his help. He has all sorts of interesting timber and ships across Australia. Here's the link www.moolootimberco.com.au
    Also a big thanks to Klingspor for providing the sanding pads which were awesome and highly recommended.

      Hey Pask, if the kumiko is too much, it would be cool to see the deck finished like a bourbon burst guitar style finish and would make the video interesting enough and the kayak super nice.

    Watching this brought back many memories. A number of years ago I built a cedar strip canoe. As in your build, I milled my own strips and used a strong back with forms. I also hand caned the seats and built my own paddles. Applying the first coat of resin over the fibreglass cloth was very stressful because at that point there was no going back. I still remember putting it on the water for the first time. It was a very satisfying feeling. You and your friend did a beautiful job.

    Beautiful video……I have viewed half way. When We moves down to Albemarle Plantation, our neighbor Frank was working on a cedar strip and later a regular canoe. I do not remember how long each boat took but it was way more than 2 weeks each. The strips were fastened with bronze or perhaps Copper wire tightened with wire requiring a hole in each strip twisted tightly. That required drilling a tiny hole in each strip. I do not remember how the twists did not show but I beliEve they were Epoxyed. They could not be seen. Frank passed away a few years ago and a nearby boat builder ended up with Frank’s shape patterns so maybe another boat will follow. Now I remember fiberglass cloth being applied. Those two boats will live on long after you two are gone. Congrats on a beautiful video and beautiful results.

    I have built three kayaks, beginning with the Petrel Play with bead and cove strips. I decided I preferred to use square edges strips and Nick’s Robobevel , makes the final fitting of tapered strips easier for me, although a few more gaps between the long edges of strips. I installed a retractable skeg to aid in straight line paddling, the hard chine on this boat makes it turn quickly, desirable at times, but less so for distances. You did quality work, they are beautiful when completed, and the Petrel Play has really sweet lines.

    WOW! Those are beautiful!
    They look too nice to put in the water, they look like they should be decorations in a fancy mansion.
    Yes to another video and the Kumiko deck design looks great.

    I once obtained from where I don't remember, the plan for a cheap kayak made from a single sheet of thinish ply. It took a whole weekend and the children and myself enjoyed it's use for a number of years (till the dreaded rot set in) too old to do it again but for fun it was good value. Thank you for your very imformative video.

    Thanks for the great video. I have 2 canoes under my belt , one with bead/cove, the other just flat butt joints. I found the flat strips easier to work with when piecing in. I have the forms, strongback and wood for a kayak, but it's a long process for me. Not sure when I'll have time for a build ... maybe after I retire. 🙂 Very nice looking kayak. the extra time for the accent strips is well worth it!!!

      Hi Chris. I was an exchange student in Germany in 1995. In Lubeck. No whitewater kayaking but paddling skin on frame boats on the Wakenitz was my favourite thing! Have a go at one of these boats if you ever get the chance.

      Hello Neil. That is a great story. What did you study? I do not know the correct term for my professional title in English. I learned two jobs. Electronics and Mechanical Engineers. Working with wood is my hobby. I wish you all the best and much success.

In reality I skipped school a lot and developed a fairly significant drinking habit and love of German night life. Good times! When I got home I started to study Mechanical Engineering, dropped out, kayaked around New Zealand, studied remote area outdoor/wilderness guiding then Gas Fitting, Gas engineering, and make anything as a hobby. Just living the best life I can ;-)

    @davebennett5069 2 роки тому

    i can't decide which i'm more impressed by. the canoe itself, or the friendship you have with this guy, and the impact on your relationship the build process must have had. also, in thinking of all the things you have yet to do for your own kayak...and all the times where the two of you needed to both be handling some piece or part at the same time to fit it together...doing it alone for the remainder of yours will be both harder and less fun due to the absence of a workmate.

      Seriously I have a few “good” mates. 17 days working about 14 hours a day with any of them on an intense project and living with them and their family at the same time would have for sure strained those relationships. When we started this the deal between Neil and I was simple. When we finished we still had to be mates, whether we finished the boats or not. On this front it was a huge success. Sure we had a bunch of disagreements and differences of opinion, which to be honest we’re very disparaging mainly because Neil pretty much always turned out to be right 😂😂😂😂. Anyhow for my part, I am in for the next collaboration and we have already started planning it!

    • @corinkayaker
