    The author does like to ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    That’s a beautiful piece of work. As someone who built a cedar strip kayak myself, I know how much blood, sweat and tears go into a project like this. Just about every move is a custom cut and requires a lot of thought and skill to pull off. Well done.

    Awesome Job! Hey, when you make the oars. put a leather sleeve where the oar locks ride with raised shoulders, (the leather folded up a couple of times or some rope sewed to the sleeve on each end) that will make the oars a tighter fit in the locks and will keep them from sliding in and out while you're rowing.

    I had a wooden rowboat growing up. About as big as yours. That's how I acquired my upper body strength 😁 (sailing helped, too). But this is stunning! I thought the canoe was an amazing feat, but wow, the rowboat! I agree, the sun and elements just beat up the finish on everything (I'm the only person I know that keeps their boat covered in the summer months in my community...my 39 year old Sunfish looks brand new). I love that you reused your old deck wood!! The boat has such character with the older wood grain showing! I hope you get years of enjoyment out of it!!😊

    Trash picking, working in a basement in NY, everything had to go in through that screwed up trap door thinger in the sidewalk. Cut up an old handsaw for a machete and pissed some people off. Everything that came from that humble shop was gold. Literal trash to treasure. You came a long way and you're still true to yourself. Recycling, repurposing, and doing it gracefully as always.
