Coracles (from the Welsh "cwrwgl") have a history dating back thousands of years. The coracle was originally covered with animal skins and in some countries they are still made this way. In Wales they are now skinned with calico which is waterproofed using a bitumastic paint.

Great video ! Very interesting technique of building it ''upside down'' and weaving the willows. I would like to try this sometime. Thanks for sharing ! Great little boat to build for ferrying or crossing small bodies of water. Seems like a project one could easily complete in 1 single day. Cheers !
I was all thinking "I could make that!" right up till he capsized.
he capsized on purpose, trust me a well made coracle is way more stable than that. Not exactly well built either (i've built a fair few)
Wonderfully informative video, how do you determine what length, width, and depth to make it?
I just bought a book about making coracles, then I saw this, starring the same and very Sean Hellman!
Cool! now I have to make one!
delightful
BRAVO!!! SUPER!!!))))
i am sure they sell them online someplace, though you aren't required to use willow there are other designs.
Noah's Coracle?
How can I legally get willow if I don't own any willow trees?
idk if you have some already but you can buy cuttings off sites like ebay
First principal of coracle building: the bottom has to be flat, not round, otherwise it just rolls over.
Pibydd ye, I saw this in a old Primitive skills magazine too, they'd have it upside down and put a large board on it with weights to flatten it out. They can vary in size quite a bit as well. I'd say luggage at the bottom would help bring the tipping point down.
mm i also learnt that in mine..never stand in a coracle or ur gonna get wet unless its one of the huge indian 1s =)
Just made the plastic modern version
