Carving The Greenland Paddle Full video - How to make your own Greenland kayak paddle - instructions Chuck Holst plans- www.qajaqusa.or... Carvegp.com no longer exists.
Finally found your video again. I was a bit lost when your website shut down, as I allways tell people to watch your video when they ask my advice on carving a paddle. Thanks for the video, it helped me out a lot when i was carving my first paddles, im sure it will help out lots more!
Your video was very helpful, especially with the measuring and math. After making one for myself, I made 2 more for my parents' Christmas gifts. Thanks!
Matt, Excellent presentation, process, and finished product. I really enjoyed your talking through the why and what of your calculations and measurements, it helps provide a fuller understanding of the project.
Intuitive and inspirational video...nice to know that something this beautiful and FUNCTIONAL can be made with simple wood, simple tools, and some patient craftsmanship...thank you for sharing this knowledge!!!
Matt, I just finished my first paddle, your video was extremely helpful. Thanks for such a great explanation of the carving your clear instructions were soooo beneficial!!!
This was great, thank you. I followed your steps and the PDF and I'm coming along nicely. I ordered a draw knife to do the final carving as I think it will be easier to do the inside cuts (as you mention - why you use the sureform tool).
Nice video. Little tip - when you're shaping the paddle blades - clamp your work so you can work with both hands and the piece is stable, and rather than take short strokes with the plane, work instead along the whole length of the paddle blade with long steady strokes and shorter ones only to correct a necessary.
Very well explained and limited use of tools. By the way, if you have a high grade jigsaw, the cuts will be very straight. The blade is wiggly on cheaper ones. If you use larger width blades this is partially corrected.
what kind of wood did you use? looks like southern yellow pine I'm making a paddle now, out of and old cedar fence post i took out of the ground last year
Many thanks for the video, followed it and the instructions to build my dads 70th b'day present, he was very pleased. If can do it anyone can. The spokeshave is now my favorite tool, although I did cheat and buy a power plane as it was taking an age to whittle down the red cedar. Happy days
It's ok I find out from where to download it.. my question was where I Can find the plan for this paddle. I will start very soon to macke one too! Th any way !
+bullyakker I myself have used these plans MANY times though i use different tools so i can make them much faster and easier but there's nothing like pouring your blood and sweat using hand tools to hand craft such a beloved tool (paddle) you'll use for years and years!

Beautiful job, and your explanations on how to use the tools and work on the finish are excellent Matt. Thanks for a great video!
Excellent video Matt. greatly appreciated from Lismore NSW Australia
Brilliant Matt, got some cedar last week and followed your directions. I now own a beautiful greenland paddle and saved some money as well. Thanks
currently working on my own greenland paddle and using your video to get it done . Thanks Matt super video
Carving my first GP with WRC. Awesome video, thanks for the tips!
Great! Thanks

Really well done video. Thank you for your presentation.
You're wrlcome
Very nice. I wish I could work a plane as well as you.
This has inspired me to have a go! Fantastic video
Phil Rowell Thanks

Great video Matt! I desire starting to work wood by making my own greenland paddle, you give me the curage! thanks a lot!
Great video, very helpful! I hope to make my own paddle soon. At 14 minutes, the cause for using metric units becomes very obvious. 😊
I had a habit of switching between fractions and decimals :) But yeah, metric units are easier to deal with.
Awesome work! Thanks for showing us how to do it.
You're very welcome
Wonderful! Any thoughts on how to add extra protection to the tips?
Maybe hard-plastic caps? A few coats of epoxy/resin?
Very good video! Did you say what kind of wood you used here?
Appreciate sooo much!
I;d love to use same tools as you. Woud you share names of them?
Very well explained and limited use of tools. By the way, if you have a high grade jigsaw, the cuts will be very straight. The blade is wiggly on cheaper ones. If you use larger width blades this is partially corrected.
Great Video. Thanks for putting it together.
Russell Voutour You're welcome
Thanks. You make it look so easy.
Hola medidas en números en español o pulgadas
Thanks for the video. Where are the plans available from.
Still useful and brilliant, thanks.
Matt, thanks for this video!! unfortunately it seems the PDF is not available anymore. Maybe you could upload it somewhere?
OMG, sorry, just saw you rlink in description - I looked at the site you gave in the video. All clear :)
Great video. Thanks for your time.
It seems easy. Except the inches, i'll look for metric system plans.
never set a plane down on the sole, it dulls the iron, always lay them on their sides.
Thanks for this very clear video :)
You're welcome
This is sensational! Great video.
Hey Matt great video. btw it looks like the link to the instructions is broken. Are the plans still available to download?
Great Matt! What is the name and number (size) of the tool used to spend wood?
Mix the tung oil with the polyurethane and turps making a home made danish oil. Or just buy ready made danish oil..
Hi Matt!
what kind of wood did you use? looks like southern yellow pine
I'm making a paddle now, out of and old cedar fence post i took out of the ground last year
Link no longer works for 2nd source?
You're welcome. Glad it helped.
Out of curiosity..what is the finished weight of that paddle
Thanks
It will vary
@@MattJohnsonhikes what would you aim for ?
@@82HEADCASE never really cared about that. If you make it out of cedar it will be plenty light enough.
Many thanks for the video, followed it and the instructions to build my dads 70th b'day present, he was very pleased. If can do it anyone can. The spokeshave is now my favorite tool, although I did cheat and buy a power plane as it was taking an age to whittle down the red cedar. Happy days
what the hell awesome paddles awesome s*** awesome everything
Much thanks!
Were can i get the plans, their no available on the website?
The PDF can be found many places , here is one www.thewoodshop.20m.com/graphics/kayak/greenland_03.pdf
Amazing! Im doing it!
Good job man!!!!!!
It would be so much easier to use metric measurements.
If God had meant us to go metric he/she wouldn’t have sent 12 apostles!………just joking/all the best
Only if that's the system your'e used to!
Hi ! Can you tell me from where you download the plane for this paddle?
oaagea Not sure what you mean?
It's ok I find out from where to download it.. my question was where I Can find the plan for this paddle. I will start very soon to macke one too! Th any way !
Great. I haven't checked to see if the plans are still at the same site. I'll check
+bullyakker these are the exact plans he refers to download in the video and the ones he is using as well. =D
+bullyakker I myself have used these plans MANY times though i use different tools so i can make them much faster and easier but there's nothing like pouring your blood and sweat using hand tools to hand craft such a beloved tool (paddle) you'll use for years and years!
You're welcome.
Have you made any for wider and taller SOT fishing barges..er.. yaks?
I haven't. I've made a few single blades that I use on my wider kayak occasionally. Works well. King Islanders FTW.
Glad it helped!
Thanks!
hey!
It's so beautiful! I just want to stroke it, I wouldn't want to use it ;) how long did it take to make?
