Really appreciate the list of tools in the description. I am sure it helps the viewers and reduces the amount of repeat request for this information in the comments.
in addition to the quality and educational content of your videos ... the editing and syncing of the music is exceptionally well done and fun! Well done!
Thank you for all the help in sharing choices of tools to do the fine work. Over the last two of your builds I’ve probably averaged about $45.00 per episode in tool purchases, so now I have an excellent ‘bench’ and can duplicate many of your processes, just closer to your quality of finish. It all takes practice, and I see my mistakes, some obvious and even some you say only I will notice....’if it glows, it goes!’
Pretty clever synchronizing the audio with the stapler! I gotta say, I really like the simplicity of the random strip selection. I think this is gonna be a gorgeous boat!
Thanks Nick. 1. I wish you would have a request to build a carbon/kevlar bottom half with a wood deck kayak. That would be interesting to see. 2. I just finished watching "Bass by kayak". An expedition from Australia to Tasmania by kayak. Only 6 short parts but so very interesting.
The editing for the sound to fit the staple action must have taken almost as long as to build the deck itself 😀 but hey, Nick Schade doesn't like shortcuts. Thanks for all the effort.
I've done a couple canoes,and used rubberbands and W shaped coathangers (with thin cardboard "shims") instead of staples or hot-glue. Leaves no marks and is quite fast and cheap.
Imagine a double W made with one piece of coat-hanger then coushion it with bakery cardboard and use rubberbands to hold strips against each other. With good wood glue we could do 2-3 strips (each side)/day.
Hi Nick, thank you for your excellent videos on building the Petrel Sea Kayak. Right now I am building the Petrel based on your forms and I am about to complete stripping the deck. I just want to know the approximate position on the deck sides where strips coming from the stern horizontally meet strips coming almost vertically from the stern in order to precisely cut out the hole for the cockpit recess (of course I will use the template for cutting the hole). It seems that the point is near form 10? Best Regards Hans J Mailand
Special staplers, only available at a place called Home Depot. I actually don't do anything special, I use 9/16" long staples and hold the base of the stapler flat against the strip instead of tilting it forward. If this doesn't work, you can put a shim of cardboard under the stapler to keep it up a bit.

Just watching this series again, and noticed the editing “rate” around the 12 min mark matches the beat of the background music… nice touch, Nick!

11:17 begins this audio sequence. Nice work, Nick.
During these trying times, can we all stop and appreciate the slow-mo staple tooth grinding?

Another great video. Thanks, Nick.

If you watch some of my other videos you will see how I avoid staples. I use hot-melt glue.

Nick, how do you get the staples to all sit up proud of the wood strips? Did you lower the pressure of the stapler somehow? Thanks, Doug H.

Thanks Nick! See you at WBS in June.
Have you designed/built a sit on top?
At this point, I have one SOT design: www.guillemot-kayaks.com/catalog/stitch-and-glue/recreational-kayak/sea-island-sport
