Herr Wagner, in ein Wort: Fabelhaft! In die Niederlánde hben meine Freunden und Ich mehrere Grönland und Aleuten Qajaqs gebaut, aber dieser Bot is auf ein völlig andere Ebene! Vielen Dank für die UA-cam Reihe. Es hat Mich sehr viel Freude gemacht. Danke Ihnen!
Mit großer Freude habe ich die 5 Teile angeschaut. Schön das du deine großartige Handwerkskunst nun auch per Video teilst. Ich weiß sehr gut wie viel Zusatzarbeit die Filmerei und Bearbeitung verursacht. Hut ab!!!
What a beautiful craft both the canoe and the ability to make one. What lovey work. I have a Guillemot double a strip wood sea kayak I made near 20 years ago. With out doubt the most interesting and enjoyable and beautiful thing i have ever made. I can see that work in them.
Beautiful process ❤ Myself made Greenland skin on frame and Alaskan retriever kayak with just my body as a guide. No plans, no metal parts. Drill and a pull knife . 😂 Completely understand what is involved in building something like this ❤
thank you for your production work. it is snowing here and the rivers are about to pen after ice flows pass in a few weeks. looking forward to the rhythm of the paddle here soon in big sky country.
I always wanted a bark canoe. I tried to make one from bark years ago. I like this method better than what I was planning to make this year. I was going to stitch and glue up a shipped lapped solo. Not now. I was not wanting to go through all the work of a strong back and stations.
Have you ever used Paulownia for ribs and gunwales, I was thinking of giving it a shot. Thanks for amazing videos with wonderful minimalist style,,, a breath of fresh air from all the videos of shops with 10's of thousands invested in tools
Hi, thank you. I've never heard of Paulowina wood, it's not the normal wood in my region, so I can't tell you if it will work. I use a lot of nordic pine. About my tools, I use good tools, but that should be basic, not something to talk about. It's all about the craft...
I am waiting to see a resin and tree stump canoe with gold glitter, ;) ,,, but seriously I am relocating to Thailand this spring and will attempt a similar boat build there, my only question is how much shorter you like to make the bottom form in relation to gunwales? I understand if you are reluctant to answer, your craft and skill has obviously been attained through much hard work, thank you again for one of the most informative and inspiring builds I've ever seen on UA-cam.
Do you mean the building frame with "bottom form" ? In that case there will be a video about it this summer. You can read about it in the book by Adney and Chapelle, there it says its about 2 1/2 fathom.
Thanks a lot. I use this finish, because the low gloss version doesn't have the same capabilities. But once the boats are in use it gets less glossier within in weeks.
I could see coating the whole boat in Epoxy and fiberglass on the outside, rather than the sealant. The epoxy and fiberglass would add durability and would be primarily transparent. Just my thought. I love the design and process!
I don't need, i build wooden booats not fiberglass boats - that would be another building style , maybe search for "goreboat canoes" they make great canoes with fiberglass
Great work! I would be nice to see a materials list. I know you used birch plywood, was it marine grade? What kind of wood did you use for the ribs and sheathing? With no birch trees in my area, I had thought of building a skin on frame canoe and/or kayak, but I like this better. Thanks for posting the videos.
Thank you for your nice feedback! Some secrets must be kept ;) The birch plywood is usually used for scale models. Ribs can be different material but I usually try to go for cedar. I'm not sure what you mean by sheathing.
Thank you for posting these videos of this beautiful canoe build. I will be looking forward to seeing more in the future . I am particularly interested in how you connect the two sheets of ply wood. Is there an overlap ? Cheers from Quebec
Hello, thank you. There will be more this year. About your question: There is no overlap: the sheets are stitched on the outside on two sides like the gores and on the inside I glue a small stripe of plywood above the groove/edge, so it seems seamless.
@@FrameWagnerCanoe Thank you for you're reply. I'm not sure that I understand. Maybe you could highlight that part of the build in a future video? Of coarse I understand if that is a guarded secret.
That is a beautiful canoe. I've always wanted a birch bark canoe as it's what my tribe used, now I would like to try to tackle something like this someday. Plywood is definitely easier than birch bark to get a hold of. For the lashings that you used, is that a type of reed or something else?
Thank you, I use plywood, because you can't get good birch bark in germany, too. I use regional materials whenever possible. The stitches are made with Rattan, which is widely used for furniture, at least here in europe.
I work in a small, alternative high school in Wisconsin. I am going to work with one of my classes to build these kinds of canoes. I would like to ask you where you obtain the rattan caning for your lashing. I can use spruce root but it requires long field trips and a lot of time to process, so caning material would be a better alternative. Thank you.
Hello Gene, it's great that you are going to build this with high school kids. I use rattan lashings and I just buy them from my supplier. As I live in Germany I don't have a clue who can supply this in the US, in Wisconsin. I am sorry. But I wish you all the best with building the boats. Please let me know if and where you share some of the pictures of the finished boats.
Years ago I took a course in caning chairs, caning material might be a thinner version of the wicker-rattan used. Key is to keep it wet while working it so it remains flexible.

Beautiful canoes and beautiful videos.
My I ask why such a high gloss finish ?
Low gloss would seem to me more natural looking.
Thanks for sharing

Yes, they are. They are around 5 cm/ 2 inch long and I cut the ends off

we will do another video this year going deeper into the preperation, starting with the frame and the materials and possible alternatives.
@@FrameWagnerCanoe Sheathing or splints are the longitudinally arranged wooden parts underneath the ribs -- they sheath the inside of the hull.
@@flomoflowingmotion thanks for clarifying - it is spruce tree

Amazing! Never thought of using plywood! What is PU?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane
I like how you shown how you bend playwood. Wery useful video my ass.
Beautiful work. What do you use for the lashings?
They are made from Rattan (also called Wicker).
Would you mind sharing what width rattan you use ?
Thank you.
Beutiful but iI believe you must find something better to seal the seams, if this is silicone.
thanks, it's not silicone it's PU
How much does it weigh?
Its 21,5 Kg
Herr Wagner, what is the application you're calling the pickle?
It's actually just a slightly corrosive solution to color the wood, make it darker. In German it's called "Beize".
How much does she weigh
beetwenn 23 kg and 26 kg depending on size of the boat
What are you using for the lashing?
it's Rattan
Вес в кг, kg?
21 KG
