Hi Erik, you did a great job, is it possible for me to share the drawings of the model you used? If you share it with me, I would like to have nice hours with my family with my skiing
Thanks! It didn't show any delamination at the time I was using it. I didn't take it with me after my time in Thailand was up; I thought to build another one once back at home, but haven't managed so far. When the kayak is assembled, the 2 sheets are pressed together, so it should be fine in long run. And even if it starts to delaminate it will be possible to glue it together again.
Wonderful video! Thank you for making it. I am going to make my own! Would you kindly share your version of the plans? I can provide my email. Also, how long is your final sheet once glued together?
@@denisgarnier7201 Making the bulkheads starts at 9:45 in the video; but if you mean from cardboard for a test model, then for test model I didn't make bulkheads.
@@denisgarnier7201 I get it now. You have to decide where the bulkhead is located, and measure the distances from fold to fold. Then just decide/try an angle for the bottom and for the deck, and use these measurements for each side of the bulkhead.
Hola, me ha encantado, has realizado un excelente trabajo. Me podrías facilitar los planos. Gracias. El pegamento utilizado es de contacto,❓ así lo supongo, al aplicar en ambos lados y realizar la unión después de unos minutos. Hay que dar una suave lijada antes de aplicar ❓ Gracias. Saludos
I'm starting to see a *big* flaw in the foldable kayak market... If the materials are cheap, and all you have to do is copy the origami folds, then who is going to pay over $1k for something you can build under $100?
In Thailand the materials were cheap, yes. I have built one in Europe now, and material has costed nearly 150USD. Plus work and product development. Add a risk that yours will be not as good as the one sold on the market. Last but not least: there are guys like me, that would make one by themselves even if they could afford to buy one off the shelf (part of the fun); and there are ones that aren't interested of building one by themselves, even if they couldn't afford to buy one. I would say there is place in the world for both kind.
Your kayak looks much better than the original ones
:D Thank you!
You did a great job on the kayak. and the bamboo paddle too. Thumbs up Eerik!
Thanks! :)
Wow excellent job! Best DIY version I’ve seen!
I’d love to get my hands on the plans for the Oru Haven to make a 2 seater hehe
What! Absolutely superior to the others!!
Thanks! :)
This is absolutely amazing!
Great research Erik , thank you for this excellent video.
Really amazing you made your own!
Your good ❤
You are very talented and creative. Great job!
เยี่ยมเลยครับ😍😊
Hi Eerik, would it be possible to get a copy of those plans you used? I'm looking to make something similar for this summer!
This is impressive!
:) just a normal product development
Pretty damn amazing! Just change the colour say 2 tone n it’ll look super bombing
Great skills!
Good job, how is it going?
Great job! How much is the total cost?
Thanks! The material cost will differ country to country, but I spent just over 50USD in Thailand.
Awesomeness!

Hi Eerik, beautiful build! How has the contact cement held up over time? Any leaking/breaks/cracks?
Thanks! It didn't show any delamination at the time I was using it.

Awesome.
This looks so good, how did you find the plans?
Thanks Madge! I googled, found some plans, made cardboard models and adjusted the plans until was happy with the result :)
@@eerikmee2050 I have found so many it's hard to decide. I like the idea of making the cardboard model! Will have to try several out!
Wow wow amazing
awesome kayak, can you share the plans? thanks in advance
hi,
find me on facebook
Are you selling the pattern? Seems like you could make a template you can sell. I’d buy one.
Hello eerik, fantastic job, what was your total cost of the build?👍🏼🙌🏻😉
Hi,
It was around 50 USD, but it was in Thailand. Everything was really for bargain price there.
Muy bueno! Te felicito!
Tengo todo para armar el mío! Solo me falta el mapa. Podrías compartirme el tuyo? Gracias! Saludos desde Argentina.
Is it foldable???
Yes it's foldable. Here you can see the folding at the sea ruclips.net/video/ljDkDPetZwA/видео.html
Wonderful video! Thank you for making it. I am going to make my own! Would you kindly share your version of the plans? I can provide my email. Also, how long is your final sheet once glued together?
Thanks. The total sheet length was about 3.7m or 12'3". One option is to find me on facebook.
Wonderful! I added you
Спасибо
What kind of glue did you use?
Hi Susan,
I used contact cement. I believe it was of Dunlop brand.
Double sided carpet tape would be ideal.
felicitaciones, muy habil .
¡Gracias! :)
You are so smart
I would make a DIY Oru Kayak just like your .
Good luck with you build Denis!
@@eerikmee2050 How do you make your Bulkhead, I try myself whit cardboard but it's not easy.
@@denisgarnier7201 Making the bulkheads starts at 9:45 in the video; but if you mean from cardboard for a test model, then for test model I didn't make bulkheads.
@@eerikmee2050 I make one with cardboard to make it fit in the kayak and when i was satisfied after that i make one with coroplast.

Thanks Angel,
Find me on Facebook. Yes, it is this type of glue. Yes, it would be better to give it slight sanding before gluing.

The sounds is terrible. Otherwise this could have been a great video. A calm music and some graphics can be added. Just use Windows photos
