- I built a 10ft pine strip canoe with boards I had laying around! I'm not a boat builder nor would I claim to be! it just seemed like it would be fun to try!

Most impressive thing about this video was the fact that you managed to find clear pine.
Nice job! Refreshing to see someone crank one of these out without obsessing over expensive and rare materials and taking years to make because of an over the top building method. Excellent work!
@@ShawnWitty I will reply by pasting in the outstanding comment from @gillie-monger3394 "Love the no B/S attitude to the build. Working with what you have, no fancy tools or materials and producing a lovely, useable canoe." I agree 100%
Всё просто без всяких изысков и наворотов, сразу видно что для дела а не музейный экспонат 👍
I really like the staple technique for holding planks together. I have watched a lot of canoe build videos and have never seen that. Very practical and less complicated way of holding those planks together while the glue dries and definitely allows for faster work.
Love the no B/S attitude to the build. Working with what you have, no fancy tools or materials and producing a lovely, useable canoe. With regular maintenance that will last many years on calm waters. Well done mate! 👍
All of you reading this, we don't know each other and will probably never know each other but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world.
My gracious fellow, build a workbench! My back hurts from just watching you saw all those strips on the ground!
So, I really enjoyed that video. I kept thinking to myself at each point “he’s not gonna do that is he”?
And you did… and yet it turned out very symmetrical and fully functional. A manufactured object only has to do one thing “meet the customer’s expectations” and it does exactly that. It’s true that there are plenty of things that would have made it better. But the way you did it makes it very approachable for anyone with just a few tools an only a small amount of time. You’ve got plenty of life left if you ever want to spend thousands of hours building a “perfect” canoe.
Fantastic build! Very creative, and useful. Stable enough for casting while on open water. That's a win in my book.
This is straight to the point
You did a fantastic job for what you had to work with! I commend your "stick to it iveness" in completing your little build! Interesting to watch for sure!
I'm not sure I could live with those huge gaps under the Laths on the 'Floor', but it seems to work OK.
Nice build.
yeah me neither, if you are gonna make the effort it doesn't take much more to get it right
Agree , however that he was able to make such a fully functional boat while working rather haphazardly is a testament to the simplicity of what a canoe is.
You made it look a breeze with everyday common tools and materials - your the real craftsman type this country needs more of - outstanding
Thanks!
Fantastic build and video!!!!!
Never a bad day when you are mucking about with boats. Nicely done sir !
Fantastic work.i love it.keep up the great work.
good video, no bs, no music, just work. if you build another in the future consider looking into fiberglass, its easier than you may think
Thank you! Yes a lot of people didn't like that I didn't use mesh, but I just wanted to build it with what I had currently on site! If I do build another one I probably will use mesh!
Great looking boat
Lol brilliant CRAZY. you made my tummy tence up.
You can't say that you aren't a boat builder anymore, well done.
Thank you!
awesome job!
That's a beautiful boat.
Terribly rough but it floats. Nothing craftsman-like... just down and dirty. I like it.
Looks really nice, great job.
Thanks!
Good job !
Great idea but I would have put at least one layer of fiberglass on the outside other wise one big bump on a stone and Crack you have a leak
Wow! Nice one video. Love for you also best wishes to you, Carry on dear. I'm rooting for you every day.
Awesome!
true to my heart of get to good enough and get paddling.
Jeff and Jimmy Snyder used to carve squirt kayak plugs with a chainsaw (cutting through nails and all).
So glad there are the practical folk, as well as the neurotic perfectionists, all a matter of balance.
Also adore the wood burned leaf motif, gotta do what speaks to ya!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention; the best boat to paddle, is the one you are paddling.
Very nice!! makes me want to build one. (I don't have the tools or materials but some day...)
Nice work.
Great video and a beautiful canoe
Great job my friend
Cool build!
Nice and simple guys ..i like that...wow....great job.
Appreciate it!
Nice build! Great Chanel too. Keep it up.
Thanks!
Enjoyed it and the built-by-eye method. In the future, when you build a proper 17 ft canoe, speed the process way up by using strips twice as wide except those that cross the tight curve of the bilge. Also a carbide scraper sharpened occasionally by a diamond hone will remove those glue blobs real quick. Small temporary screws will hold those bottom ribs tight till the glue sets. Finally, a single layer of 6 oz fiberglass cloth in epoxy over the exterior will toughen the entire hull right up without adding hardly any weight.
Sweet!
Wow, never seen a strip-built canoe with a chime before! Not a hard chine, but a chime, nonetheless. Not criticizing, the best canoe I ever had was flat-bottomed, also (made by
Where are plans available?
te felicito he aprendido mucho y de una manera facil no complicada...sigue adelante con tus proyectos
It looks good man, nice job.
Thanks!
A sharpened can punch, the kind you use to open canned milk or juice works great for removing staples! Nice work!
Good idea!
I liked it, an interesting idea
Thank you
Good job bro
Awsum Job Man 😎
Отличная работа, хорошая и красивая вещь!!!
Not the way I would have done it, but hey. This kid has built one more canoe than me so far. We all gotta start somewhere. Good on ya, dude
Outstanding woodwook ! 10 feet and narrow is very small, Polly risen and glass mat would strengthen the structure, and solve many problems. I wish I knew the purpose of the craft , this could be used for display in a restaurant, suspended from the ceiling.
I knew of a nautical store that sold similar items for people to display in their homes.
Not bad!!
Cracking job . Needs some strengthening but awsome job
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
Love it
Would make me feel better if you had some ribs tying the sides and the bottom together. Right now you are relying on one or two seams of glue to stop the bottom from falling off the sides. Otherwise, good job.
Just wondering! Why would he want to make you feel better? His build and his design.
@@TheMrWoodsman Just constructive criticism that's all, take a chill pill,.
Guess you missed the part of fiberglass and resin and all the staples.
I like it. I'm curious how well it holds up. Where I live, I think the expansion and contraction from seasonal temperature changes would cause splitting.
@@rainman6080 what Fiberglas?
You did a good job. Didn't know it was possible to build a canoe from pine.
White pine was used to build all kinds of small craft in early America from the 1600's onward including Grand Banks dories which were planked with pine traditionally. Ship's decks as well were edge nailed white pine. Spruce was widely used in the Canadian Maritimes for small craft and larger lobster boats a well.
Not bad for a first boat. Definitely light duty though. Wouldn't trust those seams in any kind of wave or wind conditions.
Ну тогда продолжайте сидеть на диване 😂
Without cloth I doubt it will hold up. It’s needed for strength an water resistance
Having repaired some impact-broken abs plastic panels before… I can say that polyester resin and glass doesn’t bond well. What I’ve done s cut thin (1-2cm wide) strips of stainless steel mesh and heat-pressed (with a wide flat soldering iron) that into the repaired area so the original and repair plastic seam are connected with the steel mesh. It has never failed. This guys use of a heat gun is brilliant. I’ll be adopting that trick.
awesome build. maybe you can use something to catch the drips from the epoxy or thicken it up with something, i bet that was a pain to clean up afterwards. The design is beautiful though. Did you design it?
Sorry where can I find the building plans for this canoe?
or if this type of canoe has a name, thank you
I wish that I could teach everyone how to paddle a canoe from one side. Swapping from side to side will soak everything in your canoe and will wear you out.
You both are doing great. Aladino is a fantastic craftsman with a.lot of humor. You have your special qualities and refitting takes time and you encounter things you can not foresee. At this moment I am about to finish a refit of a Standfast 41. After 16 months of labour it is finally almost done. Sometimes you must not think but just do.
Like Pippi Longstokking would say:
I have never done it but I thin I can.
Maya you can do this👊💪👍
Okay i like the boat nice
Hey bro hope your well.
Now i Living in Morrocco
Wery show congratulações
How long did this take you to build? Great video btw, interesting to see someone use pine vs cedar!
Thanks! I'd guess around 50 hrs I had never done it before and each part had its own challenges.
I like it! Kind of like a pirogue, really.
Your boat is extremely impressive but I think I would’ve taken more time to carve the Leaf design instead of using adrenal tool. I know you did that to save time, but I would have spent more time carving it in a relief form instead of just a lines other than that man that is fabulous, you have inspired me
If you ever build one again, try using a very sharp block plane before sanding to shape your hull. The plane it's self is cheap, plus a lot less sanding.
Curious.... if you HAD to build another one. What would you do differently? Neat little floater. Bet you wish you'd used rubber gloves with the epoxy.... oy! That hurt to see. Something most folks could pull off.
Hopefully he would glass the bottom. I'd be worried that the seams would split otherwise.
Good attempt however was I the only one waiting for him to apply the fibreglass matt. Not at all sure that's going to hold together, pretty sure that the joints will fail. Sorry to put a downer on a good effort.😥🇬🇧
I'm a fiberglass guy. Been my sole occupation for 32 yrs. I would have glassed it and used squeegees and paint (nap) rollers to get out excess resin to ensure it wasn't too heavy. Thing would have been lightweight and bulletproof
What did the finished build weigh?
If you allow yourself you can learn something from everyone. Cool
Rough and ready
Being able to build your own boat is definitely a super power.
no gloves or respirator. Just like the ancestors used to do. But in all seriousness, this is inspiring. I have some 8/4 cedar boards just taking up space in my in-law's garage. this is all the motivation i need to use them for a canoe. :)
How thick were your strips?
How thick are the strips? How high are your sides? and... skegs or keel would let you track better.
No ribs needed I have done 30 + foot ceder ocean going canoes and none have come a part.
Nice
Would have been easier to just use those wide planks whole,just get them thicknessed down and do a traditional crossplanked bottom
How did it hold up? What was the total weight when finished? How many sq ft of material did you use? Did you make the templates for the jig yourself? How comfortable was that seat? Well done!
Thanks! So far it's still holding up! I'd guess around 50lbs. I don't know the sqft, but i only used 2 1x12 pine boards. And I rate the seat 8/10 the longest time spent in the seat was 6 hours at one time, others than stiff legs it was comfy
@black birch creations nice, I honestly want to make one. It looks really nice! And that's not too bad at all for the weight! Our water levels are low in nova scotia. Usually the puddles are big and deep and we have flooding rivers after winter. This year I have seen rocks I've never seen before. Barely any puddles. Was planning on doing the Shubenacadie Canal this spring but turns out I might not have a chance due to much of the water being dried up along the routes. Good time to make one for next year!
A bit basic and rustic, but it floats and is nice, and light.
how long til the whole bottom fell off?
Still good 1.5 years later!
It looks good, but I hate to make you feel upset, structurally it won't last.
Those seems you made, will sooner or later open as you have not got the shell covered with glass to make it a ply bond into a one piece hull.
And the floor straps were not rosined down all across the floor, and as you will be applying a constant flexing to that floor,
I would think those seems will separate, especially the outer sides where you can see they are lifted above the hull straps.
To stabilize that hull to make it last longer, cover the outside with a glass cloth to reinforce the gluing you did between the stripping's,
Sorry to be such a terrible critic, as you did try. and I hope it lasts a long time for you,
II said this as I am concerned for your safety others and that includes you in that boat, Just don't venture out into a bigger body of water, and if you can't swim, wear a life jacket.
Hey, he did a pretty good job for his 1st try. I also see some improvements which could have been done but this should be considered his 1st try at the rather complicated art of boat building, in my opinion. It's a completed 1st time project and, rather than tell him what all HE did wrong, let me tell all of you what a seasoned builder of 2 flat bottom boats, 3 canoes, 1 sailboat, and a log raft learned from HIS experiences.
I did not find your name young man, but I will tell you about my very 1st adventure into boat building. I was about 14 and these sailing type sit-on-top board boats were all the rage in the spring and fall when we had the best winds in my "neck o' the woods". Our next-door neighbor had a Sunfish sailing board/boat, Fiberglas hull with a really nice red/white nylon sail and all aluminum rigging and mast. There was a mahogany center board [called a "daggerboard back in the day] which could be pulled up when docking in shallow water or sailing into a shallow spot in a pond or lake. So, he let me get some measurements from his boat and I built my own 1st boat hull! I bought some 1/8" outdoor type plywood, [I don't remember if they had 1/8" marine plywood at the time], and I used waterproof glue and nails to assemble the hull. I even built a centerboard opening for the "dagger board" to be inserted! All went well and after I got the hull completed and finished, I went about trying to find rigging which came close to the Sunfish rigging and I found most everything but the mast and mast base, which were available from the Alcort company for almost twice what I paid for all the materials to make the entire hull and sails combined. So, I rigged up a piece of 10' aluminum, thick wall pipe and jerry-rigged it to the deck of the sailboat hull. I also made a sail boom [with help of my dad] and a rudder and center board from 2 cut down canoe paddles which I cobbled together for a kind of handle on top of the one I was going to use for a "daggerboard" and the other I made a mounting rig so I could remove it when necessary and also had a joint and a steering handle which allowed me to steer right and left, and after attaching all of the fittings and other paraphernalia in their proper places, I finally decided to make my initial "test" sail out of heavy gauge polyethylene, and I was set to launch my new sailboat!
My dad went with me in order to help me unload my "new" sailboat from the pickup and we carried it down to the shoreline of a nearby 40+ acre lake on which I had hoped to fish from my new boat, as soon as I figured out how to sail, [and I suspected that he also wanted to be close in case I fell overboard out in the lake and couldn't make it back to shore]. I was already a strong swimmer, but 40 acres looks like one of the Great Lakes to a young teenager. The maiden voyage of "Wandering Sailor" or some such name which I had to come up with before I launched it for the 1st time, went like almost perfection considering that I had no clue how to make the sailboat turn around and go back from where I came!! My dad was yelling at me to "Come about" or "Tack" neither term of which I knew the answer, so I waved and yelled back "THANKS DAD!" and kept heading towards the one bank of that lake which had "NO TRESPSASSING" signs along the private shoreline!
I finally decided to experiment with the rudder to try to get the wind on the other side of the sail and that's when I learned how to "jibe" a sailboat! That sailboat boom came at my head with a killing vengeance, and I was just an inch or so away from getting knocked completely off of my new "frigate"!! [I also learned what a real "frigate" was when I finally got back to the place where the maiden launch began, and my dad was trying to conceal a knowing grin].😎
But WAIT!! THERE'S MORE! I spent most of the summer taking my sailboat out on a smaller pond on the farm next door [his farm went behind our home and the other "next door" neighbor who I have already introduced you] and I was soon doing tacks and jibes and adjusting the boom to compensate for little wind changes and such and I couldn't wait for Fall to bring those winds which all sailors dream of challenging at the helm of their "custom" built sailing "ship". [Has anyone noticed how a teenager's perception of his 1st custom built water conveyance would slowly climb the ladder of "rank"??] I came home from school one Friday sometime in mid-September and the forecast for the weekend was clear and windy weather with no rain in sight. So, my dad and I loaded up the "Titanic" and we were off to the 40-acre lake with hopes of breaking the all-time sailing speed record for homemade "ships" and I was anxious to find out how exciting it would be to sail under real windy conditions! I got about 30 yards out into the big lake when I noticed something odd about my speed and the way the bow was trying to dip down instead of riding the wake of the water flowing so nicely down both sides of the hull. I no sooner figured out what the problem was when I came to an abrupt stop and the nose of my "ocean going 'Yacht' was nosing down towards the bottom of the lake and my dad was yelling "ABANDON SHIP! ----- ABANDON SHIP!!" 👀
OK, now for the grand finale, my dad helped me drag my bedraggled hulk of a sailboat out onto the bank and he took one look at the gaping hole in my hull and bow and asked, "Uh, son, what kind of nails did you use when you put the hull together?" That's when I learned that the best type of assembly of a wood hulled boat is done with bronze nails or marine "tacks" instead of flat head steel nails! [There's that "term" again]. Just when I learn that a "tack" is term for turning around away from the wind so it can gently catch the other side of your sail, then I find out that it is also a term for using copper nails to build boat hulls!! 🤔
So, "Grasshopper", you have much to learn before you can leave the Shaolin temple and get rich with your own TV show and a few international sailing movies. You hang in there and one day you will thank me for this rather odd tale of the "Tragedy on 40 Acre Lake". It will probably be in both movie and super "HUD" display by that time ....👍

@@oldoutdoorsguy1157 I feel like I just read a book🤣🍻
@@oldoutdoorsguy1157 Makes me think of Christopher Robin's 100 Acre Woods everytime you say 40 Acre Lake! Lol! I even remember that Pooh and Piglet did have a beautiful little pee green boat at one point. I wish they had UA-cam back then, you and your Dad would have made a great video! Although, it may have distracted you from building your boat like many kids these days. Enjoyed the story. You should think about writing a book or something! Later!
👍👍👍👍👍
how wide did you rip the pine to?
I think it was 1/8 inch
@@zekesomero More like .750 wide and .125 thick I think you meant to say. Definitely far greater than .125 wide.
Do you have plans to build this canoe? After watching your video I would like to give it a try
I didn't have any plans unfortunately but there are lots available online! Thanks for watching!
Not much for PPE I see. Good luck with that. Interesting build to watch. Good job.
Probably not a dumb ass like someone that would make a remark like thay.
Glass fibers we don't need no stinking glass fibers. In all seriousness if you ever need glasfiber you can add it on top of your boat .
Native Americans had birch bark canoes if I remember correctly and other made of animal hides and extremely lightweight frames. Great work and durability came always be addressed when the time comes up
How thick are the strips.
What was the sealing chemical?
You want a shallow arch hull , why a flat bottom .?
Всё искромсал и сделал чудо.
Plane strips first
Should rino line it
yeah
So many questions!
Paddling WILL be a PITA unless a keel is fitted!
Sad experience is the best teacher..
What about weight?
I never weighed it unfortunately! If I had to guess, I'd say around 50 lbs.
Ну, так себе каное, я бы сказал муляж каное. Первое же утыкание в камень или топляк приведет к пролому стыка борта и днища сей поделки.
Без гидрокостюма я бы в такое поделище не сел. Но листики аффтору явно удались.
Me encantaría tener el plano para poder hacerlo
No fish for supper. 😢

I like the canoe, but do not see how this is better than just bending plywood. Faster, easier, far more sturdy
