building my third canoe in April. Molds and strong back are built. Its been a few years since the last one so being here is a good reminder. Thank you! wish me luck!
Ok. You got me. I saw your video for making a paddle with skateboard accents. I am starting a crib for surprise grandbaby #5 but during breaks this old man will be shuffling down to the skateboard shop. You’ve also raised an old dream of building a canoe. Hats off to you, a new 67 year old subscriber!
Liked the video as much as the build. You've definitely got an ability to build suspense and deliver a great crescendo with the reveal on the lake. Well done.
I really appreciate that Hugo! Dude I had a bit of a medical emergency last week (not covid), I should have more time and am looking to get drawings done up for the possibility of a build myself.
Fantastic canoe and inspiration... the attention, custom handcrafting and time taken for detail is a joy to see, especially in an age where mass production is a priority. Kudos to you and all the artists.
I have an affinity for cedar strip canoes, my dad and uncle made one they would strap to the float plane struts and we would fly into remote ponds in northwestern Maine to go fly fishing. It wasn't nearly as nice as yours but it certainly served its purpose. Countless memories that will always be cherished.
Hello from Oregon!! This is beautiful! I’m obsessed with all of your projects and want to copy every single one! I love your attention to detail. Keep up the great work!
Absolutely beautiful canoe! I've been wanting to build one for a few years and always planned on going fairly traditional, but i just MIGHT have to go with a recycled skateboard deck. Such a killer idea
This is a beautiful build, thank you for sharing this with us. I’ve been wanting to build one of these for years and you’ve motivated me to make that a winter project. I watched your video and went directly to my garage and set up a work area. Thanks for the push. ;-)
Nicely done, even though I have watch the longer videos as well, I like this time lapse because I feel like you have taken just the most interesting/important parts and put it together in this video. Great job 👍
Huge props man, I know you said this was a ‘beginner effort’ for you but it’s easily the most beautiful boat I’ve seen! I love the mix of old and the new touches. And the beautiful painted underside is such a great thing. Something you can enjoy at portage or just knowing it’s there!
Какая детализированная работа. Здорово, что хоть кто-то относится ко своим творениями с душой и нужными просчётами. Также мне очень понравилась рисовка каноэ.💗
EPIC build deserves EPIC music !!!!This is just awesome ! I have been wanting to do this for a few years now ......perhaps this is the motivation I needed .....! I'm very impressed ! That tape edit was sick ! I watched every second ! How much does she weigh ?
haha thanks SOOO much! means a ton and took a lot of time to put together (both the canoe and video). honestly it's pretty light! I own a novacraft Tuff Stuff boat and it's roughly the same. Way lighter than any plastic boat. Probably around the 40-50 lb mark i'm guessing.
02:20 That great woodwork, and no coasters? lol I generally don’t like music of videos, especially woodwork and motorcycle videos where I would rather hear the tools/motors.... but the canoe is epic, so epic music is a must if using any at all..... great build.
i did make the paddle. I started making those first. You don't need to be a carpenter to make a canoe. just a dream haha (& some money for the cedar and epoxy). I just tinker around and build random things, not a carpenter exactly.
Awesome work man! I'm thinking of making a cedar strip canoe myself. If you don't mind me asking, how much did this project cost minus the awesome paint job?

whaaat joe! that means a lot man! haha hope you're well! 67 years young my friend!
I've never wanted access to a woodshop more! Looks like a satisfying project, functional art.
Thanks a ton Danae! Functional art is the name of the game! Gotta be useful!
It is sooo nice to see someone who knows you can add color to a cedar strip canoe.
cheers corey!
That was fantastic! I have never seen so much extra detail put into a canoe , awesome work you should be very proud 👍👍
thanks sooo much Doug! would have been cool to carve something into the decks too! I've seen hands done before
Old town canoe here in Maine,would be proud great job
oooh amazing! tons of great canoe companies out there! Thanks sooo much for checking this out!
I have a cedar strip (although I did not build it myself). There is magic and profound wisdom in it; the music is perfect.
orver1 thanks sooo much! i had such a blast with this build! might try and make a kayak later this year..!
Liked the video as much as the build. You've definitely got an ability to build suspense and deliver a great crescendo with the reveal on the lake. Well done.
Adrian thanks soo
much adrian! i’ve been sitting on this footage and pumped to finally get it out
Thoroughly enjoyed this and fully appreciate the time that went into the canoe as well as the video.
dude that's absolutely nuts! That's the nicest canoe I've ever seen.. blown away.
I really appreciate that Hugo! Dude I had a bit of a medical emergency last week (not covid), I should have more time and am looking to get drawings done up for the possibility of a build myself.
Magnificent art that so many more people should see. Keep up the incredible work!
thanks soo much david! hope folks get a chance to see it haha
What an incredible build ... Beautiful/// Canoe //
I'm impressed! I expected just a plain canoe, but this is a freaking piece of art! Awesome :D
thanks maxime! i kinda went for it! hope to build another one someday!
Fantastic. Beautiful canoe. You should be very proud of what you created.
Thanks a ton Charlotte! Means a lot!
I've watched several canoe builds. This is the most beautiful.
Thank you.

Love the recycled skateboard deck. It's the little details that make it your own. Keep it up Andrew!
Thanks a ton Greg! It's not the most beautiful build, but it's definitely mine :)
Fantastic canoe and inspiration... the attention, custom handcrafting and time taken for detail is a joy to see, especially in an age where mass production is a priority. Kudos to you and all the artists.

haha dude it's soo worth it! that first paddle will be epic (expect to spend hundreds of hours though haha)

thanks my dude! was wondering about putting out a 9 minute video on a random wednesday haha. just had it all queued up and couldn't wait :P
I can''t believe I'm actually at the ground floor of a soon-to-be-famous youtuber. Keep up the great work, you inspire us all!
Jawad Khan eek just stoked to be able to make things! thanks for checking this out
The Szeto-ified chemex collar... Soo cool! (I mean the canoe is pretty cool too...)
ehhh thank you soo much! mega appreciate it!
Nice production 😲👍🏼
thanks a ton! really appreciate you checking this out!
Oh man, great job yet again, i love it! Thanks for sharing the whole process.

wow thank you soo much sam! means a lot! hoping to build another in years to come!
Masterful work!

Amazing! Best on the web!
Rijnooit wow that a ton rijooit! not a ton of folks saw this haha so this is great to get this kind of feedback! 🙌🏼
Not sure how I found this, but you kick ... 👌
Amazing! Well done, Andrew.

Great project

@@AndrewSzeto I want to do a skin kayak
J.P.Franco Franco heck ya! give it a shot!
Amazing!
Susie Edwards thanks a ton susie! really appreciate it 🙏🏼💕
Nice work, but in 1:59 shows stapling the slats to the frame partitions. Yet in 7:05 you simply lifted the canoe from the mold. Did I miss a step?
oh ya, the staples were taken out well before fiberglassing. I think i left that step out because it was probably a bit boring haha
02:20 That great woodwork, and no coasters? lol
I generally don’t like music of videos, especially woodwork and motorcycle videos where I would rather hear the tools/motors.... but the canoe is epic, so epic music is a must if using any at all..... great build.
Rick Sanchez C137 thanks a ton rick. i gotta get better at my sound design for sure!
Dude where do you live man!? Tryin get on that level. Love all your vids man
thanks soo much! I am in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada!
@@AndrewSzeto Epic. If im ever out that way lets skate!
@@mescamade totally! give me a shout!
Great work man. Very beautiful. Is the exterior 'glass' and interior 'fiberglass' the same material?
it is! all 6 oz fiberglass. Thanks a ton!!
Looks killer Andrew? how many hours did you have in it before you were able to paddle?
literally the 400 that they say it will take! haha next one should be quicker, but this project definitely left me scratching my brain a lot haha.
Insane
Tin foil hats are the new black thanks a ton!!! for a second i thought your comment was saying something about me wearing tin hats 🤣💕
@@AndrewSzeto you're hardcore underrated, wishing the best, keep it up :)
Did you make the paddle too? Making a canoe is on my list! Also, how did you become a carpenter?
i did make the paddle. I started making those first. You don't need to be a carpenter to make a canoe. just a dream haha (& some money for the cedar and epoxy). I just tinker around and build random things, not a carpenter exactly.
Beautiful work. What design did you use for your forms?
oh it's the ranger prospector 16
@@AndrewSzeto did you do your own cove and bead?
@@TheSaguache i did not. I got the cedar beaded and coved from bear mountain!
Awesome work man! I'm thinking of making a cedar strip canoe myself. If you don't mind me asking, how much did this project cost minus the awesome paint job?
Bradley Mugford the kit was about $2500 CAD, and it really does take about 3-400 hours. all well worth it in my opinion!
What happens with the nails/tacs you used to keep the planks in place??
Clade Ward oooh it’s staples and you pull them all out before sanding /fiberglassing
Y ahora con que me sorprenderas
jaja bueno muchas gracias
Una pregunta por que no ablas español en tus videos?
