      What is interesting is how ALL things evolve. For instance my people are from remote place in Canada. Similar climate to what you have. What is interesting is that many of the solutions that you use are variations of solutions people use globally.
      The boat that you built takes design-of a boat from a remote place in Namibia ?, or similar remote place. Those boats are similar,(but different,lol), that boats the native people of northern Canada have been building since time for humans began! They evolution is interesting because it is an inside look at how human thinking works.

    Advoko, do not ever question the quality of your videos, yours are among the best on UA-cam, and the number of subscribers you have gathered are proof of that accomplishment. This video was excellent, your workmanship, commentary, and improvised solutions to problems are second to none. I'm an old man, and I admire your ethics, stamina, and ingenuity.

    From a fellow woodworker in North America, the video was wonderful,enthralling, just amazing. I can not believe what you are doing with so little tools. In North America, at our latitude, we have such a different type of forest with a mixture of just a few softwoods, but many many hardwoods. I think that we have 200 different oak species alone. We have a southern yellow pine that sometimes will become wind blown and lay on the forest floor for years with a preserved heart wood, but typically the available useful wood - even thought the tree in total might be 2 feet or more in diameter, the unrotted heart wood would be very small but thick with preserved sap and extremely aromatic- and combustible. In this sad time , I wish that we all were building beautiful boats in a peaceful spot in a beautiful locale as you are. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story.

  • @bondvagabond42
    @bondvagabond42 Рік тому +69

    Another great video! Im a wooden boat builder for my day job, a couple tricks I use that might help you: kerfing is a way to joint boards together with a saw, rather than a plane. You gently clamp boards edges together, then saw down the uneven gap between them, it only removes wood where the boards touch, allowing you to then push the boards closer together, and you can repeat several times if needed to get a perfectly fitted joint, and can be done when you are too exhausted to do a nice job with a jointing plane. The other tip is if you tip your plane slightly on the return stroke, your plane blade will stay sharp much longer. There is an ancient recipe for a boat finish called "boat soap" or "boat sauce" it is just pine tar, bees wax, and linseed oil. You heat it in a can inside of a pot of boiling water, you rub it on hot, let it dry for a bit, and it will seem like a sticky mess, but you polish it with a dry rag, and it brings the wax to the surface, leaving a nice surface that is as pretty as varnish, but it wont crack wnd trap water underneath, causing rot like varnish, and the pine tar is very rot preventative. If you are building a wood boat in the woods, instead of in a fancy shop with a steam box, and you worry your boards will crack when you bend them, you can pour boiling water on the most extreme bend and it will help a lot.
    Thanks again for making so many great videos, i like doing similar projects, and i am disabled with MS, so sometimes i feel too sick to do much, and its fun to watch someone else's projects on those days.

      However, he uses conical tennons for legs into the seat. I recommend cylindrical. Conical makes it easier to correct the angle as the hole is being reamed but makes a connection that loosens.

    Hey Max! I was stunned to discover this video was so long, but I only noticed by accident after half an hour because I got a notification that distracted me for a second, but I was entranced the whole time.
    I am not easy to entertain either, which is proof that your efforts in videography are paying off. Your videos and ingenuity have been captivating me deeply.
    Today I learned something that’s making me rack my brains to understand - to take such hard working vacations. In our society we’re told that vacations are for laying down sunbathing or the likes, but I have been going against the current by using such time for bicycle touring and such, and recently added woodworking to my hobbies. You have introduced me to the idea of secluded hard working vacations. Bushcraft is not new to me, yet the amount of quality work you’ve been showing in your videos are sort of a revolutionary idea to me. You make it clear that, as we say in Portuguese, ‘those who DO for/with pleasure don’t tire easily’. The partition of your life you’re sharing with the world is a testament to the old adage ‘do what you love and you won’t work a day in your life’. Instead of actually working hard at a job one dislikes, earn money to buy a soulless boat, you take your effort and put it towards yourself. You make not only useful things but works of art, with blood sweat and tears put in. Working hard for oneself is never wasted, and your passion for the crafts shows.
    TYSM for taking along for this fascinating boat ride. I can honestly say I now look forward to your upcoming content, and that I look to you with the admiration and love a student does to their master and mentor.

    Soaking the dowels in water for 12-24 hours works great.
    If you take them straight from soaking in water they have expanded and after you pound them into the holes they will hold very tight and strong.
    You could also make pine tar by rendering and or do both,soak in water and use tree resin.
    You can steam boards to bend then better.
