Nice work. I suspect a very happy nephew. And, great ideas for organization and security. I hope this young man cherishes this gift and remembers you for the rest of his life. I suspect this is the kind of gift that may well be passed through future generations.

Wow, great job figuring this out waaaay before it became popular! You really didn't have any tutorials to reference. Very helpful, thank you!

What are your thoughts on making the cradle legs height-adjustable? I'm 6'2" and my adult son/helper is 6'4". Easy enough to do, but would it be worth the effort?

I made a few mods. 1) I bolted the 1.5" x1.5" station mold braces instead of screwing them so I can take them off (when building a S&G kayak with plywood). I labeled each brace to their respective spot on the strongbuck to make it easier when reassembling. 2) at 4:00 I cut a vertical slot in the leg spacer piece and used bolts that went through leg-spacer-leg so that I can lift any of the 4 corners since I will be moving the strongbuck around my shop with an uneven floor. Kind of a poor man's leveling feet.

Good ingenuity on the string with blocks for setting the center mold station.

What size and how many of each c-clamp do you recommend having at a minimum? I'm an hour+ away from my nearest HD, and Amazon is multiple days wait for delivery, so I don't want to be one clamp short of what I need.

Andy, thanks SO MUCH for making this video! I am a recently retired 60-year guy who has had the dream of making a cedar strip canoe in my brain since I first saw one glide past me on a Wisconsin trout stream when I was a kid. I was awestruck at its beauty and grace, and thought that someday, I would make one. Well, 3 kids and almost 40 years of career later, I now have the time and money to do this. I recently purchased the Canoecraft book, but couldn't make it past page 10 because it was such a slow read. So, I started searching RUclips a week ago and came across some great videos, but none that started from Square 1, which is building the strongback table - thank you! Your directions are clear, and your video is no-nonsense. I'm going to go bang one out and get going!

you call it redneck... i call it genius.

pretty clever moves.

I hope you named your boat Dixsea.

Any chance you could make plans to sell?

Someone paid for that 😮

Awesome Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful one

It's easy to buy 10 year old epoxy just go to a local store. West Marine sells west epoxy. Go figure

A whole video on how to build stems when are for canvas canoes.

good video

I sent this video to my Father. He was an engineer in the Army. And he's really into wood carving. He's even been published that magazine before. So I'm sure he'll appreciate this.

Damn!!! that's Beautiful!

Coolest uncle ever ❤

Please provide me whit measurements

A hole saw for clamping holes will make way less mess and cost less than a large forstner bit...

The Chevron pattern formed in the bottom of the hole in the football the points should all match left and right side. The problem is I didn't know how to do it and even bigger problem is no one knew how to do it. .

It cost me 47 dollars to make a crate. With hardware. for shot gun shells a case. To drop in by the case . I made 3 ~ 1 for 410 a case. 1 for 20 ga. a case, 1 for 12 ga. a case > NO MORE ? COST TO MUCH TO MAKE THE WOODEN CRATES > That could have been another case of shot guns shell

West systems is too expensive I won't use that brand I can get it for half cost somewhere else. It's good stuff there's nothing wrong with it they just charged too much money for it that's all

This video popped up in my feed. This is awesome and he is one lucky kid. Nice job.

Best series of videos ever! I got to episode 10 (the "last" in the series so far...) and then your story got real. Real life. I came to the comments to learn what might have happened and I'm glad to read that it is just life that slowed your build. Congrats on the transition, job(s), and most of all your FAMILY! Take care and take your time.

Excellent my friendy

Awesome!!! Thanks Do you have the measurements?

Good job bro. My family are moving house later this year and I'm queuing up projects for after, this will be one of them.

Getting ready to build! Exciting:)

Great project idea I'm curious as to what machine used to create the sticky template lettering and numbers?

What present did you print out the template

Good taste in Whiskey and Wood used for project. From 1 small shop to another, nice work.

I'm thinking of making something similar but was concerned about the legs stability. Would a complete trapezoid leg be more stable with a piece of metal running across right under the table? How much sway and rockiness does this table have with each half of the table almost free except for the bottom connection? Thanks

Future tip cabinet scrapers work better than a plan

Hello Andy, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. I’m taking on this project as my high school capstone. I was wondering how long or what were the dimensions of your fiberglass cloth. I see different ones, don’t know which to buy.

I noticed one strip fractured, people the steam wood for a living back up the wood with a metal strap. stems on canoes are a vestige of the days when you needed to tack canvas to the boat and cover the ugly seam with an outer stem, when fiberglass came along the stems should have gone by the wayside but they were held onto by people that wrote books, and so here we are today in 2022 with people still using stems. i like an outer stem for its looks but i also like the stemless look it's refined and dignified. That's it I just wanted people to know there is another way to do it. Yours looks good with a vestigial stem.

Insert Jim Carrey here from Liar Liar, "I'm kicking my own ASS!" LOL Looks great but you created a lot of extra work for yourself. Thank you for your service!

You are recording a great job on your canoe build. Thanks for sharing.

It appears you are following the excellence in construction of your canoe with more excellent work on rocker curve. Congratulations.

Man you do good work, a shame the videos aren’t longer and more detailed.

What were the size boards that you had used for the box? I plan to make that but scaled up some for an airsoft gear box.

Lol, hillbilly😂

Thanks for the videos man! Good work!

Im not soo good in math tho...

Your leg seems wired..

Lovely build. I think i'll also have a Bud light..lol Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

I bought plans from Woodglut and did it very quickly.

awesome uncle and even cooler that you still answer questions after 3 years
