I built a kayak when I was 15. I 'scrounged' the wood from building sites, at 1am. My father got me canvas and screws from his workplace. My mate also constructed a similar one. We spent a week canoeing from Oxford to Putney along the Thames. One of the memorable things in my youth. 😊
@@capefalconkayakBrian, another great video. Your fingerprints are all over this build from the methods to your old leather steam bending belt to a glimpse of your fingers at 11:53. Hope you are well.
Wait...what?....wow! Holy cow! As a woodworker for 30 years I often search you tube for skilled vids. This is potentially one of the best I've ever seen! To any one and everyone involved in this construction, I hope you fall asleep with a little pride at night. You should. Skills like this are rare. ❤️ Liked, Subscribed!
I saw this was 17 minutes long and I thought, hmm, mybe I'll just skip through parts of it. So I started watching at the beginning and 17 minutes later I found that I had watched all of it without skipping anything, lol. :D Lovely video. If you ever give up making boats you should definitely go into some type of video editing business. All of your videos are top-notch. Well done all.
Very nice kayak. My father and I used to build cedar strip canoes, it ended up being his favorite thing to do, this pots reminded me of the fun we had building then and cedar strip kayaks and floating rivers in Canada and anywhere we could .thanks for the everything. I miss him so
Your attention to detail and perfection is amazing. I've always wanted to build either a kayak or canoe, but life got in the way! Now I'm almost 76, live on a beautiful lake in Texas. I have the time now, but due to military service in Vietnam, I'm too disabled to tackle a project like this. Thanks for sharing your skills. I'm very impressed with your skills.
I wish you a good 2023. Living by a lake, that sounds good. In our kayak club, there's a man with hardly any long capacity left. Pedling on the river is too much. Still, he bought two tiny sailing boats, and during summer we go to a small lake, once or twice a year. Sailing takes maybe half an hour, but who cares? He can be on the water for a while, and that is what's counting.
Wecome home, Brother ! I'm 76 1/2, spent some time in the Tonkin Gulf Yatcht Club on the biggest boat, made it home in pretty good shape. If I lived in Texas, I'd love to help you, and we'd git 'er done. Anyways, welcome home, and I hope you get on the water, like voornaam's talking about.
Mesmerizing in sight and sound… “no words” can explain…. Universal (no language barrier)…The distillation of craft into pure art. The quintessence of SOF building. Thank you!
That is very beautiful love the sounds from making it ,so much nicer than the plastic ones and better for the environment,thankyou liz for letting us in.
looks like fun i haven't made one of these since grade 6 took 5 months to make after school ....at school about 1 1/2 too 2 hour lessons.... 5 days a week
I'm not a boat wright I have built a two man Folbot from a kit. It was my Zen time, this is a whole different level, you understand your materials. I learned more in 17:40 about Kayak building then I have in 35 years since I built my Folbot. Thank you
Félicitations...que vous soyez seules ou a deux peu importe... Ce que je viens de voir là révèle un esprit minutieux, véritable concentré de talent et de passion ... Bonne continuation à vous 👌👌👌👍👍👍
What a great quality video! Liz makes building that boat look easy! Wow fantastic crafteswomanship!! The color is cool too. Also to Brian's credit the way he lays out the course it is very easy and super fun! I built my first F1 a couple of months ago following his course to the tee and mine came out awesome too! (But not as good as Liz's I am sure lol.) I loved the build so much I started building another boat a week before I finished the first one. Haha! But this time I wanted to add my own custom touches and design elements. The funny thing is by doing my own thing that I painted myself into some corners that I didn't see coming. In the first build Brian navigates you though the obstacle course without you realizing it. haha! With that said they weren't anything I couldn't overcome (its is only wood after all.) Anyway I am about finished with the fame on my custom boat and I a super excited to see how it paddles compared to the stock version. (hopefully I didn't screw up the performance too bad.) With that said I was totally surprised at how well the F1 paddles!!! It's amazing! (My experience is I have been paddling sea kayaks for about 10 years and have had quite a few from well known sea kayak brands over those years including a very high end brand.) I think if I still had all the boats I've owned I bet Id still choose the F1 to paddle most of the time over the others for day paddles. I highly recommend that you take this course if you have any interested at all in woodworking and kayaking! This type of woodworking is so enjoyable and relaxing. And when you finished you have a killer performance boat! (I'd love to build another after this I have more ideas I want to try but where am I going to put it? humm? I might have to sell my fiberglass boat?lol)
A thoroughly satisfying build. I built a sea kayak back in the mid 1980’s in Kodiak. I used a similar approach except I ran the formers longitudinally and covered it in aircraft fabric that I bought in Anchorage. My bow had a whale mouth considered good hunting luck. My how this brings back memories.
…no music, no ranting voiceover, no hype just beautiful, patient craftwork from start to finish. Ahhhh. Perfect
It is called ASMR, and videos with sensory audio like this have become popular in recent years. You can understand why!
From the craft perspective, not speeding, but cutting away the less interesting parts makes the video superb IMHO
@@amenophis_factoremьэ🎉😮
YES! Most of the videos today are terribly annoying due to excessive editting additions!
Yes, many half-decent videos are spoilt by "background music" - which is IMHO usually just a form of manufactured aural pollution.

This never gets old. Decades of experience in 17.5 minutes ; )
I have decades of experience, but this is the first time she’s made one!
@@capefalconkayak it doesn't look like it! But you are such a fantastic instructor so well done to both of you, and thanks for bringing us along.
Increadible craftsmanship
She sure makes it look easy.
@@capefalconkayakBrian, another great video. Your fingerprints are all over this build from the methods to your old leather steam bending belt to a glimpse of your fingers at 11:53.

Frank from Wisconsin. Watching a long time. 1 build under my belt. As a career Carpenter I RESPECT your work. 2nd. Vessel on the table. Thanks, frank
Just simply stand up and applaud that stunning craftsmanship! 👏
Cracking job !!!!

Absolutely fantastic stuff! Seeing it placed in the water at the end was magical.
She sure was magical delicious 🤤
Wow this girl really knows how to build things ... Beautiful peace of work.
Gorgeous craftmanship, filming and final product!
To say she has amazing skills is an understatement!
Omggggg !

In Ruhe und mit absoluter Präzision ausgeführt! Ein super Kanu von einer Meisterin ihres Fachs!
Thanks for seeing a thing of beauty coming together and then paddled. Regards Ian.
This is badass. There aren’t any shortcuts, life hacks or training wheels here, just raw skill
looks like fun i haven't made one of these since grade 6
took 5 months to make after school ....at school about 1 1/2 too 2 hour lessons.... 5 days a week
Absolutely beautiful poetry in motion...no annoying music, or ridiculous voice over...True craftsmanship at its finest ❤🎉
Thanks to share.
Namaste.
So nice. Thanks Brian and Liz. Wishing you both a happy new year, 2023.
wow!! you have done this few times, the fit and finish are museum quality..... thanks for showing this vid..
This is her first time building. It’s not as challenging as it looks.
Браво майсторе имате златни ръце, бъдете жива и здрава!
une véritable œuvre d'art 😊
I am old. Have been dreaming about building kayaks all my life! I admire this work and am a bit envious too...
How old? A while back I had an 80 year old schoolteacher build one of my designs!
@@capefalconkayak 73 soon, so it is not to late. But I do not have a suitable place to work in for now.
Thanks wonderful to watch, actually theraputic. Uniquely different.
Why is it so satisfying to watch a skilled crafter make such nice stuff
That's really cool to see how those are built. I very much enjoy the workmanship
My dad used to build canvas kayaks as a woodwork teacher at a school for children with learning difficulties. It took me right back.. thanks
7:45 A creativity that not everyone can do, I really admire your mind
Magnifique travail, pas d'autre bruit que les outils et la matière, j'adore !
Fascinating! What a beautiful process. Thank you for sharing this amazing art.
Brilliant! This was as much a showcase of photography and production skills as it was the actual construction. Well done 👍

Great to see women involved in woodworking,,,,! Awesome....!

Beautiful work my friend. I believe I will have to try an build my own now. Thank you for showing me this!!!
I have enjoyed watching her hands craft this kayak
Gorgeous, both the finished product and the video.
A truly beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Joinery was spot on. Attention to detail, a rare commodity these days.
Absolutely, stunning! You have such and it shows in the finished job. Well done!!
Its nice to see something made of wood with out festool in sight . 👍

Absolutely fantastic,I am an admirer.
Made it look so easy. Nice sound. Beautiful craft. WOW.
She's definitely a craftsman 👍
