Fools who burn luxury cars and call themselves YOutubers have an audience of tens of millions. A clever man who does breathtakingly beautiful work has an audience in the thousands. The world is upside down. Your video is inspiring and caressed my soul. I wish you a lot of success.
I felt the same way for a while. The kids these days under 22 who make up RUclips's most favored demographic are driving up the traffic to that kind of content. As they grow up, some of them will discover these gems.
this man has average skill, he use too many modern tools, machineries and factory made liquid or something whatever the name. Not a respectfull boat maker for most of Indonesian youtube watchers.
@@nawangwulan1714 The man is undoubtedly very skilled and professional. The fact that he does not bite wood with his teeth or work it with prehistoric flint seems to me to be normal in a civilized world. If the entire product is improved by using modern composite materials that will strengthen the boat and allow the boat to be kept longer in an impeccable and beautiful condition, that is also fine. I like to reward with praise even a skilled worker in the jungle who can carve a ship with an ax from a single piece of trunk.
I’ve always wanted to build a strip canoe, but after seeing all the skills you applied to this work of art, I’m not sure I could pull that off. What workmanship!
After watching many canoe builds on RUclips, you by far are the neatest and most precise with your build and also had the least amount of wastage. Hands down the best canoe builds I've seen. A absolute pleasure to watch, thank you.

Thank you for the kind and wise comment. Hopefully, by posting and sharing these techniques, young people will take some inspiration in building handcrafted boats.
There is something tremendously satisfying about witnessing a craftsman make something so beautiful, especially if like this canoe it's useful. Thank you! After a lifetime spent being the best doctor I can be, thinking I was doing some good, I have come to the realisation: If you have not spent as much of your time on this Earth as possible in the worthy pursuit of crafting satisfying and useful things with your hands you have wasted your life.
Although canoeing and kayaking for the better part of 50 years, I have only watched recreational boat-building on the net for about ten to a dozen years. I can honestly say that this build was the most magnificent! Thoroughly professional, master-craftsmanship skills employed from start to finish and beyond expected with handmade metal hardware. Bravo sir; a phenomenal accomplishment!
Despite the delay... I am highly appreciative of your attention to detail, your steady and focused work, and how you bring your vision to life. You are a high craftsman! I was raised partly in north-middle Minnesota in the mid-1950s (the lake district, due east of Fargo-Morehead). Cedar strip canoes and boats were the kings of the lakes, and outboard motors were just coming on the market, so you rarely heard one. The quiet beauty of a sunrise on the lake in a [cedar strip] canoe was and is still... priceless. Thank you for sharing your superb craftsmanship!
Thank you very much for your kind and eloquent words. I have only visited Minnesota once and loved the many beautiful lakes there. I would like to go back one day with my canoe.
this is my therapy just watching this takes all my stress away absolutely beautiful canoe it would be a dream to own even just to go for a trip in across a lake and chill in thank you keep up the amazing work
Absolutely, brilliant wood working skills on your canoe build. Congratulations. The video was done so well. I’m 55 and two things I’ve wanted to do since I was a teenager was have a Sawmill and build a cedar strip canoe. Well time is running out, lol. I started building my bandsaw mill which I will use to mill the lumber on my 100 acres to build my canoe. Watching your videos and others are so inspiring and helpful to me reaching a life long goal. God bless you and your talents, Sir.
OMG, what a pleasure to see a master at his craft producing a true work of art! I love canoes and the wooden ones just call me to the paddle and the water, always! Thanks so much for sharing the fantastic lessons included in the video as well. Cheers for beers!
Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Beautiful, handmade, very detailed, with love and harmony. Thanking You, who still there with your mind and skills, golden arms and big heart. God bless you.
What a beautiful work of art! You, sir, have the talent and skills that are sorely missing in today's world. The care and craftsmanship you have shown is a brilliant example of the way things should be done! Thank you so much, sir!
I'd get finished with this, then be too terrified to use it. Then buy another mass produced canoe and get in trouble with my wife. Outstanding effort in craftsmanship and additionally, the effort made to video AND edit this long term construction effort. Thank you so much for doing all of this, Andre.
Absolutely loved watching the craftsmanship and was inspired and motivated when i saw you using the same tools i have in my shop, down to the blue staedtler led pen. Great job!
That was amazing, great craftsmanship. You give a very clear, very very real insight into what you are getting into, super inspiring with just a little terror. Many thanks from NB.
Sir, that is literally a masterpiece and work of art! Equally as beautiful as any wall painting and much more enjoyable, because it floats!! Thanks for sharing your craft!
Very beautiful! I built a 15’ Bob’s Special a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the process. Wish I had put the end flotation compartments in mine like you did. Again, fantastic job, a real masterpiece.
Lovely build Andre, and nice video too! I've built several and mine are pretty, but yours is prettier. I caned my seats with yellow/tan plastic caning (per Gilpatrick's book) and they're very comfortable. After 30 years of hard use I had to rebuild my first canoe, but not the seats. Thanks for taking the time to film and share this with us!
I've been in woodworking since I could walk into my grandfather's shop. I've spent my career in architectural millwork and cabinetry. That is one of the most beautiful displays of woodworking I've ever seen. I used to think that now in my retirement I would build a "birch-bark" canoe ... but you may have swayed me. Incredible work sir. Blessings!
Thank you so much! I too have been in the workshop since pre-teens but spent my working career harvesting and growing trees as a forester. This project was on my list for a long time, and after retiring, I finally could devote the time it takes to build one. Hope you get yours built as well. Cheers.
I bought my plans for a Bob’s Special almost 20 years ago. Haven’t taken the time to attempt the build yet. Will retire in 5 years, won’t have any excuse then. Excellent work.
Ainda vou tentar fazer uma dessas para mim, nos aqui no Brasil não vemos este tipo de canoa não, que alias são as mais linda que já vi.Alias aqui no brasil também temos muito Lagos, rios e principalmente mar. Espero conseguir fazer a minha, sei que a curva do aprendizado será grande para isso, mais vou chegar la!!! Obrigado pelo vídeo e vocÊs acaba de angariar mais um inscrito para o canal.
Your video came up and could not stop watching it, beautiful work. You are a gifted woodworker carpenter boat builder even a jeweler with the metal parts you made. And looking at your garage you are just a regular guy with regular tools, and you created a work of art. Congrats and respect to you.
Россия, город Самара. Прекланяюсь перед мастерами своего дела. Побольше в мире людей кто работает хорошо и головой и руками, и поменьше тех кто больше болтает. Ещё раз спасибо за мастерство!
Sir when held up your glass before gluing in that last piece the smile on my face was every bit as big as the smile on your face. Always been a dream of mine to build a cedar strip canoe. Bravo! Enjoy !
Thank you. The last strip is called the “Whiskey Strip” but I should have had that drink after it was installed. Oh well, I’ll know better next time. Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hope you get a chance to build one yourself.
Fabulous skills takes me back when i used to build wooden enterprise sailing dinghy's the delight at the finished article always brought pride, magnificent 👏
a proper boat builder ;;many years ago i used to work for jack holt in kew london uk they used the same jig idea to make the wooden boats and those guys were also proper boat builders like you Andre bless you
Great to watch a true craftsman at work. I know that a project like this can try a man's patience. When it's finally done though, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Any time I work on some involved project (even the simple ones) I hear my grandpap in my ear "If you don't take time to do it right, you'll have to find time to do it over."
Amazing, I am a woodworker but make tables, chairs, desks and such. Your Canoe seems to be alive for me ... flowing ... graceful ... in tune with the wood you use. I am inspired by your work and want to try and incorporate the " Life " you bring to the wood to my future projects. Good health and long life to you ...
Thank you very much for your kind words. Furniture building is something I haven’t done much of but I certainly know it takes great talent and patience to make something beautiful. All the best to you sir.
Even calling this canoe quite simply remarkable doesn't come close to doing it justice. Thank you for so brilliantly sharing your incredible skill in such a way that it almost looks achievable by us mere mortals. I guess to a large extent, that's the very definition of inspirational.
