      What is interesting is how ALL things evolve. For instance my people are from remote place in Canada. Similar climate to what you have. What is interesting is that many of the solutions that you use are variations of solutions people use globally.
      The boat that you built takes design-of a boat from a remote place in Namibia ?, or similar remote place. Those boats are similar,(but different,lol), that boats the native people of northern Canada have been building since time for humans began! They evolution is interesting because it is an inside look at how human thinking works.

      Are you familiar with Windsor chairs? They are beautiful and strong. I recommend Curtis Buchanan's channel over other Windsor chair channels for the level of instruction.
      However, he uses conical tennons for legs into the seat. I recommend cylindrical. Conical makes it easier to correct the angle as the hole is being reamed but makes a connection that loosens.

    From a fellow woodworker in North America, the video was wonderful,enthralling, just amazing. I can not believe what you are doing with so little tools. In North America, at our latitude, we have such a different type of forest with a mixture of just a few softwoods, but many many hardwoods. I think that we have 200 different oak species alone. We have a southern yellow pine that sometimes will become wind blown and lay on the forest floor for years with a preserved heart wood, but typically the available useful wood - even thought the tree in total might be 2 feet or more in diameter, the unrotted heart wood would be very small but thick with preserved sap and extremely aromatic- and combustible. In this sad time , I wish that we all were building beautiful boats in a peaceful spot in a beautiful locale as you are. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story.

  • @bondvagabond42
    @bondvagabond42 10 месяцев назад +63

    Another great video! Im a wooden boat builder for my day job, a couple tricks I use that might help you: kerfing is a way to joint boards together with a saw, rather than a plane. You gently clamp boards edges together, then saw down the uneven gap between them, it only removes wood where the boards touch, allowing you to then push the boards closer together, and you can repeat several times if needed to get a perfectly fitted joint, and can be done when you are too exhausted to do a nice job with a jointing plane. The other tip is if you tip your plane slightly on the return stroke, your plane blade will stay sharp much longer. There is an ancient recipe for a boat finish called "boat soap" or "boat sauce" it is just pine tar, bees wax, and linseed oil. You heat it in a can inside of a pot of boiling water, you rub it on hot, let it dry for a bit, and it will seem like a sticky mess, but you polish it with a dry rag, and it brings the wax to the surface, leaving a nice surface that is as pretty as varnish, but it wont crack wnd trap water underneath, causing rot like varnish, and the pine tar is very rot preventative. If you are building a wood boat in the woods, instead of in a fancy shop with a steam box, and you worry your boards will crack when you bend them, you can pour boiling water on the most extreme bend and it will help a lot.
    Thanks again for making so many great videos, i like doing similar projects, and i am disabled with MS, so sometimes i feel too sick to do much, and its fun to watch someone else's projects on those days.

    Soaking the dowels in water for 12-24 hours works great.
    If you take them straight from soaking in water they have expanded and after you pound them into the holes they will hold very tight and strong.
    You could also make pine tar by rendering and or do both,soak in water and use tree resin.
    You can steam boards to bend then better.

Your skills, knowledge, and ingenuity, combined with your hard work ethic makes me certain that you will succeed in any project that you set your mind to. I really enjoy how you share your thought processes as you go along in each creation. Paddling off into the beautiful Lake Ladoga was the perfect ending to this video. Thank you for sharing this with us, Max. I’m glad to see that you are well.

    It's been some time since I've enjoyed one of your videos, to see how you adapt a traditional African boat, using native European wood has been more than
    educational.
    Your self taught wood working techniques certainly get results. I'm addicted to a world wide phenomenon television series called Alone where contestants are sent into the wilderness with 10 items for survival and the last remaining wins. Only 3 have made boats, which helped them to harvest fish.
    You would do well at this. Keep up the good work.
