- 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.
I'm more impressed that he was able to stand up straight after ripping his boards like that.
I’m thinking scaffolding planks would be good for a project like this. They are normally knot free for the most part.
@@diogenesegarden5152 a lot of scaffold planks now are lam beams. probably easier to do engineered planks than to source the clear lumber.
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.
Same to you.
@@scottwright388 Same 2u.
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
My gracious fellow, build a workbench! My back hurts from just watching you saw all those strips on the ground!
Rousseau Porta-max!
Your back doesn't hurt the strips way 20 lb
@@robertbolding4182 All the bending and such fcks up your lower back. Im only 30, always believes back injury came with age. Herniated discs from working on the ground like this and working/lifting in bad postures.
Always taking the shortcuts and thinking whatever im not 60 yet will get to you one day. And recovering from that might take years if your relativly young or never is your 45+
Never a bad day when you are mucking about with boats. Nicely done sir !
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.
It wasn't built by I the forms determine where the strips go. It was if it were built by I you would need a frame to build on would you.
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.
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!
@@zekesomeroit’s still not late, you can apply fiberglass even now after a year from building date. it’ll guarantee a long life to your boat. 100 g/m2 would do great job, thin enough so it doesn’t absorb too much epoxy and won’t bring too much additional weight to the boat
Terribly rough but it floats. Nothing craftsman-like... just down and dirty. I like it.
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!
You made it look a breeze with everyday common tools and materials - your the real craftsman type this country needs more of - outstanding
Thanks!
Благодарен за видео.
Помогал людям в юности собирать лодки моторные.
Весельные ! - ялы ! - смогли перед началом сезона.
Необходимо знать как собирать верно лодку.
Здесь - показанное - недопустимо.
Лодка должна быть надежная.
Щели смоляться и дерево пропитывается.
Очень многое надо знать и делать надежной
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!
Thanks for sharing. I'm curious how its holding up with just the epoxy coating over the wood. I built a similar canoe but used fiberglass cloth with the epoxy resin.
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.
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.
A sharpened can punch, the kind you use to open canned milk or juice works great for removing staples! Nice work!
Good idea!
Fantastic build and video!!!!!
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.
Absolutely ... I love the intention, but slapdash doesn't cut it when you're in deep water and the wind picks up. With the best will in the world, this is a model of how not to construct a kayak. Just too many points where I find myself saying ... "really?"
Very nice!! makes me want to build one. (I don't have the tools or materials but some day...)
Like build by eye and use of pine to control costs. Your methods have a lot worthy of emulation.
te felicito he aprendido mucho y de una manera facil no complicada...sigue adelante con tus proyectos
Great job my friend
Hello, I was looking for videos on how to build a small canoe.
And now I find this video which is absolutely amazing, this is Exactly the canoe I had in mind, and it is also a nice video as a manual.
Now I have a cheeky question, what are the dimensions and is there a drawing of which I can have a copy???
I would like to make this for my children.
Awesome! Guess the next step would be a dock/pier.
I loved the design and was wondering where you got the plans and designs for the forms that you used to build this
Cool build!
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?
Great video and a beautiful canoe
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
Inside too!
"The Common Sense" builder. Wonderful.
Nice build! Great Chanel too. Keep it up.
Thanks!
Fantastic work.i love it.keep up the great work.
Awesome build
Thank you
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?
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.
That's a beautiful boat.
Great looking boat
Looks really nice, great job.
Thanks!
Good job !
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!
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.
Sweet!
Rough and ready but good on you for knocking it out so quick. one short cut would have been to apply that watery coating with a minature roller rather than a flat stick. A lot quicker and no dripping.
Hola. Gracias por enseñar tu trabajo. . ? Que madera usas ?
I think you show that anyone can do this with basic tools and you try lots of different skills to finish it. I think maybe some more time on fairing the strips before epoxying would have paid dividends but this construction method looks like fun. Did you use a plan or just wing it?
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.
how long til the whole bottom fell off?
Still good 1.5 years later!
Well done that Man
Nice little project. Only thing I'd have done differently was to put your table saw higher (saw horses?) so it wouldn't hurt my back cutt'n all those strips.
It looks good man, nice job.
Thanks!
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 😂
Nice work.
Awsum Job Man 😎
Not bad!!
Nice and simple guys ..i like that...wow....great job.
Appreciate it!
I liked it, an interesting idea
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?
Good job bro
How thick are the strips? How high are your sides? and... skegs or keel would let you track better.
Nice work sir,
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.
Cracking job . Needs some strengthening but awsome job
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
Nice work thanks for sharing you’re knowledge and skill. You’re grandkids will probably be fishing or shooting Ducks out of you’re canoe . Excellent job keep the videos coming our way🎉
awesome job!
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.
Отличная работа, хорошая и красивая вещь!!!
Hey bro hope your well.
Now i Living in Morrocco
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
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.
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👊💪👍
What did it weigh?
I like it! Kind of like a pirogue, really.
How thick are the strips.
Wery show congratulações
Sorry where can I find the building plans for this canoe?
or if this type of canoe has a name, thank you
Love it
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!
first thing i would have built is at stand for that table saw
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
You want a shallow arch hull , why a flat bottom .?
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. :)
What was the sealing chemical?
No ribs needed I have done 30 + foot ceder ocean going canoes and none have come a part.
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.
A bit basic and rustic, but it floats and is nice, and light.
Okay i like the boat nice
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
The forms had radiused corners but he didn't conform to them. What's the explanation for this?
What did the finished build weigh?
How thick were your strips?
Being able to build your own boat is definitely a super power.
Rough and ready
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
