Originally released in 1996, we realize the video quality isn't up to today's standards. However, we think the information is still relevant and valuable, so we've decided to release it for free here on RUclips. Хобби
I wonder how many canoes and paddles have been made with the inspiration provided by Mr. Moores. I have built several, know a few other guys that have too.
Has to be tens of thousands of canoes brought to life by Mr. Moores’ books. A great resource and I would recommend it to anyone interested in building a small wood boat.
Very satisfying video. As a canoeing enthusiast, it’s great to know the tradition of quality handmade paddles is alive and well. A great job of passing it on.
These paddles would be lovely hanging on the wall . A real piece of art. Thanks
This was completely enjoyable to watch, It's almost hypnotic to watch the paddle being shaped. I just made my first paddle a couple weeks ago using mostly power tools, I gotta admit it turned out great for my first try.
Thanks for the excellent video on canoe paddle making. One is on my bucket list - hopefully soon.
look at that shape profile, that is a stunning paddle! well done beautiful job
My good fortune to come across this video. Hope Ted that you and yours are in good health. Those were good years at WBS. Mona and I are well and occasionally still paddle. Best good fortune

Best video I've seen on paddle making. Thanks to this nice video, I have the info to make my own paddle. And the music is a nice bonus.
Thanks Larry! Glad it was helpful
The best in the biz right here. A legend of the craft
Currently making 2 oars and a rudder for my sailing dinghy... found a great cedar tree down in the woods around my house, couldn't let it go to waste!!
You do beautiful work!
I want to learn to make my own laminated hard wood whitewater paddles similar to this, but with T-grips and wider blades, edged and reinforced with fiberglass.
If mine turn out half as nice as yours, I'll be very pleased. You have some real skills and talent, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Dave, best of luck with your paddles!
Nice work guys thanks 🇨🇦👍
Great video! It answered the questions I still had - definitely ready now to get to work on my own.
1 question - how do you deal with the little hole you'll be left with in the grip from the eye screw to hang it up while varnishing?
Beautiful.
I'm curious as to how balanced this would be, given that the blade surfaces are convex, so that the blade is actually quite a big mass of wood. I made mine concave, with a subtle central rib, using a round-bladed wooden block plane. The paddle then balances just above the blade, and flexes exquisitely without loss of power. Not appropriate for a whitewater paddle, but gorgeous for lake travel.
The use of varnish is also controversial. I'm in the camp that says it remains forever tacky and therefore causes blisters. I use Danish Oil and refresh it every year using a ScotchBrite.
love the video i will be making my own paddles shortly and this video was really helpful . subsribed
Great skill, a beautiful job, and I enjoyed the guitar music. I wonder what the paddle looks like today, 22 years down the road.
Thanks! Not sure we can track down the paddle, but I'll post about it if we do
I'd like to know how the paddle maker is doing!
The real Ron Swanson.
Great video other than varnishing the paddles at the end, never looks good as they age and gives you blisters when used just need some linseed or hemp oil
no dust no noise
This carving is a craft but since I switched over to a double blade on my solo my paddle has been relegated to a spare. Ergonomically double bladed paddling is much better for your wrists. Also, the canoe tracks easily
Tried it for the first time the other day, I like it, got to work on a double a little longer and on something to stop the dripping water
Um, a tri square has 3 (hence tri) rivets rigidly fixing the blade at 90 degrees to the stock.
What you are using is a combination square.
It is “Try “ not tri and nothing to do with the number of rivets. The name is self explanatory.
Do you sell the templates for paddles?
Hi, for those wondering about where this craftsman is now, he’s in this film
