I have been using bamboo in modeling, rod making, spar making, and bowmaking for many years. I thought I knew a thing or two. I see now I knew nothing about the material! This is by far the single most usefully informative treatment of the topic i have ever seen. Well done. And thank you.

Oh my goodness where’s the rest of the videos Adrian!!!!’ Please man!

Wow that's beautiful. I wouldn't care if floats or not. Some people like building out of original or natural materials. Others build traditional craft from carbon fiber. Bamboo is sort carbon fiber in a sense.

que material é essa chapa? é bambu? Sou do Brasil

Hi, is there a fourth episode ?

2 years after i find this good video made with care, amazing how simple and fast polynesian boatbuilding is, and nontoxic and how has been largely ignored

Uau

Please if you're still alive show us the next episode!

Love the soundtrack

I am very impressed by your creative use of your material and your craftsmanship! A beautiful Proa. Will you be showing a video on how well she sails?

In documentary "The Last Sailing Canoe of Mokil" in 15:01 you can see there is a two massive beams. You don't have them :( btw Nice build what is the finally ? I want to build bambo for my self.

is he dead?

Totally enjoyed your video and really really loved the music with it , fantastic video mate , awesome build ,love it. 👍

Please tell me in which country is this happening?

in which country?

Boa noite tudo bem? O senhor está em que país ou local ? Eu estou estudando o bamboo como um material e na sua viabilidade na construção uma embarcação de 44 pés e pelo que vi o senhor conhece mais deste material do que eu então poderíamos trocar informações?

Please update with a sea trial. Enjoyed watching your videos.

Beautiful. What glue were you using in that gun?

Bravo 👏 thanks for shearing.

Bamboo sections are burned during some Balinese Hindu ceremonies. Indeed it makes a nice pop when it explodes.

You are cool man! Looking forward to seeing continue! Boat looks very beautiful!

This is great. Bamboo is so easily replenished. Anyone with a piece of land can plant it and it will thrive.

its fantastic idea Adrian, thank for show me this.

more video please! love them

Why did you take the bamboo strip roll apart? Wouldn't it have been easier to just keep together?! Great video btw. Lots of details :) Thanks!

Thanks !

Thanks !

Very good gob!!! I want see what you have on whis time.

Sweet dog too!!

Cats bamboo sailing canoes!! 👍

Thank you for the vid. Very informative.a lot of foam inside explains to me why 2mm thick bamboo can be enough fir sides. How much glass epoxy you added from inside and outside because looks like quite significant component for adding strength of vaka.

Great project, please consider having a look at ruclips.net/video/GSBh77bjz_Q/видео.html (Advoko MAKES RUclips channel) he describes a method for recycling plastic bottles which would be perfect (possibly superior) for the binding material you are using on your Proa consruction.

This might be helpful to know. Just have a look at it. ruclips.net/video/7PLyeosEEZw/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/Iyuc9_d-vIQ/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/TN1bl8Dun-I/видео.html I wish you all the best for this project and look forward to the next episodes of it.

I have seen a few vids on YT about engineered bamboo, it is amazing stuff. Very interesting project Adrian. Looking forward to seeing how it goes; the hull looks like a knife, that will slice through the water very nicely.

A few years ago I saw an article on youtube about some aspects of bamboo technology in Japan, dunno how you'd find it.

Wow Adrian, what a great project. Really really nice build. Thank you for the learning experience.

Well done video. I had just dug up my copy of Dierking's book and was contemplating the possibilities of a stitch and glue hull when I decided to search videos. Best of luck with your bamboo version. It's beautiful. How heavy is it at this stage? Are you planning to use bamboo yards for a crab claw rig?

Excellent. I've been playing with this idea for a while but never actually got round to doing anything about it.

Thanks for the bamboo bend info. Very useful for all outriggers canoe boatbuilders in the tropics. thanks again!!

Wow, thanks so much.

Excellent, Adi keep up the good work 👍🙂 did you think of bending them over a trench of charcoal? Perhaps you could have done them all at once and been able to go off returning to lower them as the coals burn down, my concern would be needing to turn them for even heat

Fantastic! I’m transfixed, having perused Haddon & Hornell for years, I’m now getting acquainted with the detailed construction. Proas rule.

+1 cool

How do you bended the bamboo yakos to be connected in that smoth curve to the ama? Your job is incredible, but the hull isn't too flexible?

Great stuff Adrian, many thanks for sharing. Is it just one layer or bamboo? amazing to think how light this is going to be.

Great video,keep it up!⛵↗️

LOVE it! So awesome. What do you think about the Harry Proa? I'm very interested in building one.

Great info! Thanks!

Great video! Understanding bamboo thanks 2u! Lovely build, some cool details too, love the mast step... That Ridgeback seems like keen crew....... happy u joined the proa gang. Keep Shunting broer, Balkan Shipyards.

Some really interesting information in that episode, love the idea of a volcano alarm 😀
