I've built 4 strip canoes and one of the greatest moments is when you pour on the resin and the beautiful color of the cedar pops out. Of course, nothing beats dropping it in the water for the first time. Thanks for the video.

Hi Nick, i am Roland from Germany, 53 years old.I just want to tell you that, seeing your work, makes a complete change in my life.After many years working in different jobs , i was so overwhelmed seeing what people can do by passion, that i make this decission.Last year i quit my job to start from zero as a boat apprentice.i became more and more fascinated by working with wood , boats and by discover these skills. Understand more and more of this fascinated handcraft every day i start working on my little sailingboat, wich is a old dutch steel sailer, but there's still enough wood to work on. I really like to thank you for your outstanding work, your passion and heart what you put in all  the videos.Here in Germany the backyard and hobby boatbuilder are a rare folk, most of the DIY Builders on youtube and webcommunities are english/american.I am lucky, in my late age to see a chance to learn  techniques or get inspired by people like you to keep some traditions up, and learn  new technics and working progress in different ways.My education will take 3,5 years and in this time i like to build on of your beautiful designs.start from zero in this i like to ask whether you have a list or give me some ideas by kind of tools etc to set up my first workshop in my life.Soory for my english, i need some practice....Roland

How long did that take roughly?
Nick Schade
Nick Schade - 6 years ago
It actually takes me longer now than when I was a beginner. Partly due to the fact that I am building this for a customer and I am going all-out. This particular build had a lot going on. I was experimenting with new techniques. I don't recommend to anyone that they build their first boat in the same way I'm building this one.


If I were building purely for myself, making a boat for hard use, I would not take nearly as long. I could do it in about 150 hours. I think it is reasonable for a first time builder to need about 200 hours.
Justin Morlock
Justin Morlock - 6 years ago
Thank you for the reply. I have a book on building kayaks and I wondered how long it took. Being a beginner to it I'm sure it would take me longer. Haha! Again, thank you sir for the quick reply.

I would have used plastic resin glue which is more water proof then white glue. Great craftsmanship.
Nick Schade
Nick Schade - 6 years ago
Since the whole boat is eventually encapsulated in epoxy, the yellow glue never gets wet. So, it doesn't need to be waterproof. In this application yellow glue works better than the plastic resin glue.

Never did get around to making a strip built kayak BUT I did enrole this Spring to a boat building course where I'm attempting to build the 21'2" Massachusetts Bay Indian Class sailing boat designed by John G. Alden. Just amazing to see these boats being built with so much care an precision. I hope I can achieve something close to this.

Very fast images, very slow music. I'm not sure it's that easy to follow. I'm afraid I'm off - not enough time taken for showing things done step by step. Don't get me wrong, I practiced a traditional craft in Europe for 35 years, so I know what a bit of timber is. Longest time spent on a single piece of furniture: just over a thousand hours. A seventeenth century Boulle marquetry cabinet. Long, slow work. Very different. Good luck, and good bye.

Nick literally wrote the book on strip kayaks. Anything he does is awesome. I bought a 48" wood strip model canoe kit from www.canoemodelkits.com and built a wood strip kayak on my table, using the same methods. It came out beautiful! I was so pleased with it. It really gave me confidence to one day build one of Nick's full sized kayaks. Great video, learned a lot.

Your mastery of your craft has me completely in awe. Beautiful.
Nick Schade
Nick Schade - 7 years ago
Thank you! The wood will become a rail for the seats and foot braces. The "pitch" is epoxy with graphite in it. This will have a hole drilled in it. A peg on the seats and foot braces fits into the holes and allows adjustment of the seat location. The epoxy reinforces the hole against wear.

I came here because I thought the boat looked nice in the thumbnail, reminded me of a ww2 German U-boat minus its conning tower lol... very beautiful form. Ended up watching a very relaxing and well put together video of some guy crafting with zen. just brilliant, and I won't bemoan the use of fibres and resins, I enjoyed the surprises of the techniques employed... nice 20 minutes.

A loveley boat but what a massive waste of carbon fiber. I know its made to last long but glass fiber is alread a pain in the ass to recycle and cf is just special waste that is gonna lie on a disposal site for thousands of years.

The level of craftsmanship that went into this creation truly exceeded my expectation. I was already impressed before you applied the marquetry, but that really tipped it over the edge. The beauty of natural timber married with the functionality of modern composite materials make for a craft that is not only a pleasure to behold, but no doubt a delight in its purpose. Thanks for sharing.

Guessing it is a method of burning the wood for color contrast. More precise than using a torch and more subtle than using a wood burning iron. If you look closely at the edges of the inlay at 17:41, you will see the darkened portions.

At one point it looked like you were making two identical canoes, so that seemed interesting, then it seemed like you were using the wood as forms before too may parts were installed for making a fiberglass canoe, then it looked like you were forming a Kevlar canoes from wooden forms, none of this seems to be true, so the confusion just makes this video painful, like a woman both pretty and rude, there is an attraction but it's better left alone.

Danny Roberts
Danny Roberts - 6 years ago
I personaly have built Nicks Guillimot design . It is officaly called a wood composit design. Strips of cedar 1/4" thick is what the core is. The glass and carbon fiber are for strength. I used glass inside and out on mine. I would assume he uses carbon on the inside for its superior strength and its lighter than using e glass. Without the use of the fiberglass and carbon the wood alone is not strong enough. An all wood kayak would be alot heavier. My kayak ways 45lbs fully rigged out and is 17, long and 21" wide. Even the old wood canvas canoes were covered in canvas to protect the wood. It took me about 250 hours to build mine seventeen years ago. I still use it today and apply a new coat of varnish every year. I hope this helps.

This is a wood kayak idk what your on about lmao
Nick Schade
Nick Schade - 7 years ago
I did read through the thread and am in no way offended by anything you said. I understand your objections to these kayaks being called "wooden". You certainly have a point. I didn't respond for the purposes of disagreeing with you, I just wanted to clarify some details about the construction.

My background is in engineering and tend to be fairly pragmatic about things. If it works, its good. What its called isn't so important.

That said, I don't feel any reason to pull back from calling the kayak a "wooden" boat. The wood is sufficiently integral to its functioning as a kayak, that I am comfortable calling it a wooden kayak. Without the wood, this would a floppy bag, not be a kayak. While it may not be what you expected when you started watching the video, maybe this will help expand your understand of what is possible with wood.
Yidris
Yidris - 7 years ago
Nick Schade thank you for your response. if you read the entire line of comments, you will see that I continually praised your workmanship, and did not simply assassinate your craft.

I came to this video thinking that I was going to see something else. I honestly thought that the entire kayak would be made from wood. perhaps several laminated layers of wood that was then finished with Teak oil and then oil based polyurethane.

I am a wood worker myself, and I understand the concept of composites as well due to the fact that I am a federally certified Airframe and Powerplant Technician with extensive schooling in composites.

the finished product is beautiful, and I'm happy that you took the time to create this video so that assholes like myself can leave stupid comments on it.
Nick Schade
Nick Schade - 7 years ago
I won't get into the discussion of what is or is not a composite, but will provide some details regarding the materials used.

The wood is 1/8" [3mm] thick, only a small portion is removed, there is one layer of 6-ounce carbon fiber plus 1 layer of 2-ounce fiberglass cloth on the interior, the exterior is 1 layer 4-ounce glass plus 1 layer 2 ounce glass. The total thickness of all the fabric and epoxy combined is probably less than .04" or less than 1mm.

The total weight of the wood for the kayak itself is about 18 lbs [8kg] and for the carbon fiber, and glass is about 12 lbs [5.5kg], added to this is about 5 lbs [2.3kg]. Thus the bare hull, before seats etc, is about 35lbs [16kg].

About half the weight of the kayak before adding the seats is wood the other half is fabric and epoxy.

Structurally, all the components work together to provide the strength and stiffness to the boat. The wood alone would be fragile and not seaworthy, the fabric and epoxy alone would be very flexible and not seaworthy. With all the components together, the structure is durable and stiff.

To achieve the same stiffness using modern materials alone would require substantially more fabric and the weight would be greater than the combination with wood. To achieve the same strength with wood alone would require much more wood and would be substantially heavier and if you listened closely you could hear it starting to rot the moment you put it in the water.
Geoff Semon

So the Museum of Modern Art classifying the canoe as made of wood isn't good enough for you?
So there is no climate change, the earth is flat and you most probably think Drump is a good president too and you voted for him. Must be an interesting living in an alternate planet you live on
Yidris
Yidris - 7 years ago
Geoff Semon if you use the basic definition of the word "composite"; being composed of multiple components, then yes, applying a finish to a piece of wood is a composite. however, in the fields where construction techniques are utilized, it is a much more focused term.

this is not a wooden canoe. The Man expertly joined some wood together, then thinned it to about 1mm, then entombed it in layers of fiberglass that add up to several times the thickness of the wooden structure inside. essentially he used used the wood for artistic purposes, and not structural purposes. the wood makes up roughly 10% of the total structure of this canoe, so it is nothing more than a fiberglass boat, with a wood grain pattern inside.

I'm not saying that the canoe isn't a good canoe. I'm sure that it is top of the line, and will Outlast anything that I will even make. but that doesn't make my statement invalid.
Geoff Semon
Geoff Semon - 7 years ago
Yidris as soon as a wooden boat has any sort of coating on it a composite has been formed. If you just coat the canoe with varnish, constant maintenance is required. These kayaks are meant to be used. This method construction requires a skin on both sides for strength. Without cladding the timber would need to be thicker and ribs would be required making the vessel heavier. As Nick has been building kayaks since "93 and one of his kayaks is in the Museum of Modern Art I'd say he knows what he's doing

+ Yidris I would like to see that too, but sadly, I think it wouldn't fit in with his technique or his clients. You are a rare find on YouTube, someone who knows his/her stuff, can speak English and has an interest in craft/making. I would like to speak with you on other topics, what do you think? Like pen pals...
Yidris
Yidris - 7 years ago
Ant Mallett all in all, it's a gorgeous boat. I would love to see what he can do with more traditional wooden boat techniques. like you said, it would involve a ton of tar or sap and sinew, but still, I would love to see this craftsman really ply his craft on a 100% wooden boat
Ant Mallett
Ant Mallett - 7 years ago
+ Yidris I wasn't aware that he started with 3/16, or properly said, about 5 mm. I agree, after planing, spokeshaving and sanding the crap out of the wood, he probably had spots in the 1 to 2 mm range, most of it though, I would think would be 3 mm thick at least. That's 1/8 " for you colonials...
You said 'the 3/16" thick wooden strips were whisper thin, really all they were was a design. they served no function other than providing a form on which the composite layers could be set.' I agree with you on that. The fact that the outer layer of glass fibre was put in place first, before any of the formers were removed, shows that the wooden shell has no implicit integrity. And only after the outer FG shell has cured, is there enough rigidity to pull a vacuum as the inner epoxy/CF lining is applied.
I think you hit the nail on the head, 'just a visual design inside of a composite boat.'
So after all that work, and the attached price tag...
Yidris
Yidris - 7 years ago
Ant Mallett good points, all of them. and I agree, the majority of the 'workmanship' is in wood. all of the special skills and craftsmanship required is in carpentry and fine wood working techniques. but I still maintain that the majority of the 'construction' is composite, so that takes away from the term 'wooden'.

it's the same as if I made an acoustic guitar out of carbon fiber, yet i had wooden bracing inside, and then I insisted on calling it a "wooden" guitar... it's not.

after he shaped the wood, and scraped it, then sanded it, the 3/16" thick wooden strips were whisper thin, really all they were was a design. they served no function other than providing a form on which the composite layers could be set. and once the boat was finished, the wood was essentially just a visual design inside of a composite boat.
Ant Mallett
Ant Mallett - 7 years ago
+ Yidris The majority of the workmanship is in wood, the rest is something anyone could do. So perhaps the term wooden is still true? I feel that if this kayak was made 1000 years ago, the wooden shell would be smothered in tar, or an equivalent, inside and out. And perhaps the tar would have sinews laid into it as it dried? Who knows?
Yidris
Yidris - 7 years ago
Ant Mallett I agree, it's an exceptional result. im just not keen on someone calling an item "wooden" when the majority of the construction is composite.
Ant Mallett

By volume most of the kayak is wood. The carbon fiber, fiberglass and epoxy, while important to the overall structure, are in a very thin layer on the surface. Without the wood, the fabric and resin materials would just make a flexible bag.

Hi Gökmen, i'am a german carpenter and i know there are many possibilitys to build a kayak, a boat, or what ever just by using wood without any glasfibre or other chemical stuff. wood and water is no problem under the right conditions. what i mean is i share your opinion.

The Struer boats are amazing. I would love to own one.

It is unfortunate that the US does not have the kayaking club culture that exists in other countries. There used to be fairly active whitewater kayaking clubs, but those faded as inexpensive kayaks became more easily available.

Hi Nick, very glad seeing you weighing in this discussion, and I hope it doesn't snow ball too much for you to stop responding. I myself, originally from one of the Soviet Republics, and as teenager for a number of years belonged to a flat water kayak racing club. Most kayaks we used were shallow draft flat water racing boats with very small cockpits and small rudder fins controlled by feet via two cables connected to a control stick in the front of the rower. The hulls of the older ones were laminated and steam plied thin veneers of wood, finished with lacquer inside and out. In the beginning of every rowing season every one (read every kid I. the club) started the season by hand sanding his boat and applying thin layer of new lacquer on the outside of the hull (and sometimes inside the cockpit). Some of them did have the wooden frames and tops of the boats were covered in thin canvas filled with silver-colored varnish of some kind. The hulls of the newer ones were made entirely from laminated layers of fiberglass, and tops and bottom decks were joined just above waterlines. This newer boats were much lighter then older wooden boats, but hulls were somewhat flexible. Then there were few boats that were kept in trainer's elling, and were reserved for training by professional rowers, those that were competing in national competitions. I have later found out that those few boats were made by Struer in Denmark, and that Soviet Ministry of Sports has purchased a limited number of these boats years ago and that the club I attended has received several of them.
I was maybe twelve or thirteen, and was fascinated by these boats. They have weighted half as much as any other boat we had, and were the most beautiful boats I've seen.
Flat water kayak racing was the best sport I was ever involved in, unfortunately almost unknown in Florida, where I live now. I often lament that there are no kayak racing clubs down here. I would have paid serious money to be in one of these clubs again.

Totally agreed. For example I'm currently making Bamboo&Carbon Bicycle. As you say diferent materials involved. Aliminium, carbon, bamboo.. even natural hemp. Also my future project is making Asiatic traditional horse bow. materials will be hardwood, buffalo horn, sinew, leather, fish gland glue etc. Anyway, I just want to say that I love ANY kind of hand works, craftsmanship... Does not matter what material or style.
Nick Schade
Nick Schade - 7 years ago
I appreciate that you are interested in woodworking, but if you are really interested in different skills, it may be counterproductive to lose interest as soon as the truly different skills start being shown. While you may not currently have a need for fiberglass and epoxy, these techniques may be adapted in interesting ways to many woodworking projects, not just boatbuilding. They are applicable anywhere strong, lightweight and/or waterproof are beneficial. Don't limit yourself just because they don't fit your pre-existing expectations of what constitutes "woodworking".
Gökmen Emre Keskin
Gökmen Emre Keskin - 7 years ago
Mr. Schade, I'm glad that you join this conversation. I want to make it clear again... I dont know that how kayaks are made in the past or how they making now. Totally understand your material choice, I'm working with epoxy, carbon fiber, glass fiber and some wood in various projects. I'm learning and searching about woodworking. So, after I watched many "wood" working videos, YouTube suggest me your video as "Building a Wooden Kayak" Naturally i interested and started watching your woodworking skills. And i lost my interest after you start covering epoxy and other materials. Its DOES NOT mean that i dont like it, It DOES NOT mean that I dont respect your craftsmanship, It DOES NOT mean this is not a woodworking, It DOES NOT mean that I know anything about building kayaks. So I wathed your video because i want to see different skills from different craftsman and learn as much as i can by watching videos. and just lost my interest when wood working part finished. Maybe i coudnt explain myself because of my broken English.
Nick Schade
Nick Schade - 7 years ago
The original kayaks, made by the Inuit people of the Arctic were made with a wood frame, tied together with sinew and covered with seal skin, sealed with rendered fat. They were in fact composite boats, obviously using natural materials, but they combined the properties of several different materials to create a vessel that was greater than the sum of its parts.

There are very few boats that are purely wood. At the very least the wood was covered with some protective material such as pine tar, paint, or even sheets of copper. They were held together and sealed with a variety of materials, metal screws, cotton caulk, red lead bedding compound, etc.

We now have access to pretty extraordinary materials that are wonderful for boat building. I have sealed and reinforced the wood with modern fabrics and high quality adhesives. Most of the mass of the boat is wood. I have replaced the sinew, skin and fat with carbon fiber, glass and epoxy, but what makes it work is the wood. Without the wood, it would be heavier and not as strong.

These kayaks can be used hard, and will hold up to a lot of abuse. My customers may not use them as much as I would like, but I build them for use.
Gökmen Emre Keskin
Gökmen Emre Keskin - 7 years ago
Again, I did not say anything about craftmanship. I dont want to repeat myself. Good work, misleading title. (at least misleading for persons who are not well informed about kayaking or kayak making)
IF Engineering
IF Engineering - 7 years ago
I can see where the confusion (read disillusionment) comes from someone who knows very little about building boats, and yes, the title does say wooden boat. However, there are many ways to build boats out of wood, and different methods involve different amounts of other materials. The way Nick builds his boats, it appears to me, is as much for their beauty as for their utility. He showcases the properties of wood, which I assume is Mahogany or something similar, which is probably a reason he builds hulls out of thin strips of wood. When I saw how he laminated the strips together along their edges with, what looked like, regular wood glue, I thought: "there is no way that boat will not spring leaks and fall apart, but then I saw him laminating a layer of fiberglass to the outside of the hull (which, after being saturated with epoxy became transparent, by the way), which gave the hull complete water seal and structural strength, while still allowing to see every fiber and movement of that wood grain. Then he installed, what looked like, a layer (or few) of carbon fiber, and vacuum laminated it to the inside of the hull.
Very sound construction methods. His boats still look like works of art, they HAVE real wood, which is probably at least 50% of the boat mass, but this wood is so well protected from water and sharp rocks, that if used carefully, should last for generations.
Arne Schwarz

You are absolutely right, and Blair Wise is very oversensitive. The video should have been titled "Building a partly wooden Kayak".
Gökmen Emre Keskin
Gökmen Emre Keskin - 8 years ago
Calm down man. I already mentioned in the fist sentence. I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT KAYAK OR WOOD AND WATER. I'm not trying to say anything. Please dont blame me about that nonsense "feeling important" thing. It maybe industry standard or something like that, I dont really know. I, just as a person who interested handmade stuff, saw that title (which is "Building a Wooden Kayak") I interested, and start watching. So i=I was expected something made out of entirely wood. Because if someone say "wooden door" I imagine a door made out of wood. Of course metal hinges, handles, paint, finishing etc will be involved with this door. but probably 95% will be wood. Or what do you think if I say "stainless steel knife" ? A knife made out of steel. There may be wooden or plastic handle on it. But its not a major part of it.

I'm saying again. I dont know anything about kayaking, making kayaks, water-wood relation. I cant even swim. It may be a standard using composite material in kayak making job. But as an ordinary, not educated, non-intelligent, not important youtube watcher, title could be better if something like "Hand made wooden carbon-glass composite kayak" Again, Im not saying its a bad work. I respect any kind of hand made stuff. That's why i watched this video. I dont know why you take too serious my comment. I was not disrespectful to the maker or his work. I just said i lost my interest after epoxy and carbon-glass fiber part. Whats wrong with it still dont know... Seriously i didnt feel anything insulting.
Blair Wise
Blair Wise - 8 years ago
Gökmen Emre Keskin yes there were kayaks before there was a party. There were also Wheels before there were automobiles. there were also bows and arrows made out of sticks before better technology and people started fires by rubbing sticks before the match was created. What's your point? The man did absolutely phenomenal work and chose to give it a layer of protection. That's what most people do. Including fine artisans. He took a beautiful piece of art and also made it usable. Certainly you don't buy an automobile and never put a coat of wax on it? why do you put a coat of wax on it? I guess my point is why I try to look at something beautiful and come up with something negative comment other than to try make yourself feel important or look intelligent, which in most cases much like yours usually yields the exact opposite result.
Gökmen Emre Keskin
Gökmen Emre Keskin - 8 years ago

Wow infusion set carbon fiber internal layer. Not sure I see the need, but you did and nailed it. I can do all that stuff except the inlay and infusion. But wow, all on one boat, taken as far as it can be taken at this point. The detailing, like dentilons for the coming, is amazing. Done that to join a guitar but never a boat. You vision and execution are tremendous.

If I may ask, what brand of electric scissor is that. I have thought of getting a rotary knife for heavier products like mated roving, but that is something I hadn't seen.
Hondo Trailside

I really like that oscillating belt sander, never seen one of those. I use a disc sander. One of the cool things about disc sanders is that at the center of the disc (normally below the table) there is no cutting, but as you move out on the disc it cuts faster and faster. This acts like a dynamic fence because if you start rolling out from the center it cuts less quickly in the area of the form that you are rolling away from. This makes it very easy to pull a smooth curve. Of course belts have the opposite advantage of even surface feet, and less heat, and burning, but for templates, I do like a disc sander.

Each strip is at a bit of an angle relative to the adjacent strip. To get a tight fit between the strips they need to be beveled slightly. The bevel changes down the length of each piece so I use a hand plane to create that bevel.

Sir, I am not going to talk about your canoe as all that spectacular detail originated from an high level activity in your mind that we cannot see. As I myself come from a family of traditional boat builders in the Mediterranean Sea, at 8:02 I could not help admiring how you moved your hand along that hull and I knew what your fingers felt and about what you were conscious and seen. At 8:05 those nimble fingers, without any sign of clumsiness handled that shaping tool with grace and a feeling for every movement and the sharpness of that blade, I have no doubt that you honed it yourself with all your respect for that edge which you must look after with great care. At 8:20 the diagonal strokes indicate clearly that you are a natural master craftsman, with a sensitive feel at the tip of your fingers which aided by shadows you can avoid the smaller radius of curvatures to give that hull the best maximize and largest curves with its length. At 8:26 while your right hand is working to produce the desired surface curve , your left hand is not exactly idle but those fingers are feeling the hull for all the strokes you generate and they are measuring how kind you are to it. The manner in which the swarf and shavings roll off that very sharp scraper, what remains has no option but to obey your demands as far as finishing is concerned, where you do not even allow the scratches of the grit of sanding, scrapers in the hands of a master craftsman is more than enough.
It is such a pity that all that workmanship is hidden between layers of epoxy and fibres which were laid with such gentleness and all such a meticulous manner including the vacuum which ensures lightness with strength.
I need not go further, any boat that is supervised or made by these human movements, shown by this man and seen in this video , will definitely be a work of engineering art, to be treasured in one's life. This is what I admired most as the boat itself is circumstantial, and the product could be anything as it will contain the same quality of excellence. Congratulations, Sir, I raise my hat to you.

Through using one word such as "beautiful" or "nice" one is being too economical and one is only thinking of the product itself, Creating an item of beauty its originator goes through many delicate actions to create beauty and it is not fair for different people as dancers, craftsmen, musicians, singers, furniture makers and shipbuilders and plane makers to call their product " beautiful". It is the the person himself that one should admire and not only the item in question and so one need to comment on the fact that one appreciated a particular action or a set of actions by the craftsman to achieve beauty, Beauty has multiple and diverse components and most of the beauty is in the movement of the craftsman mind which is reflected through the hands and limbs, That is real beauty, the movement and the gentleness and the ability to sharpen tools and move them in such a manner that another beauty is created. So do not be so economical with words when you meet a craftsmen, find words to describe the craftsman himself and though you will never refer to him as " beautiful" you may hint that you admired his movements and his delicate actions in knowing what to do to create a beautiful product. The real beauty is not in the item but in the many components and actions of the craftsman. That is what one should admire and one needs to know what makes beauty in dancing , singing, various arts, building boats , varnishing.......... discussing the creation of what is beautiful is much better than just saying that something is " beautiful " or " nice".

This has become a deal with making these boats and now that it has long been achieved I am not all that impressed with it (NS is a great builder I don't mean that, but beginers build their boats this way too).

Gene Jensen the great canoe designer, could turn out a canoe that would win races and go on to be pulled for molds and sold by one of the major canoe companies, in 4 days. That is hand drawing the plans for a new model, lofting full size and making, outfitting and launching and paddling the boat. So yeah these are pretty boats, but there is a whole world of making boats for real uses efficiently up to boats 60 of 100 feet long, using strips and epoxy and that seems little observed in the rush to create small often badly designed boats (not here) that look like a coffee table. And people seem to feel pushed to ever more expensive, heavy, and time consuming to build designs, for what are boats. They need to be well designed, fair, able to hold their shape, light, and durable.

So am I am watching the video because I love this boat, and all, but as a builder just throwing out the fact that great boats can be made relatively simply with this system right up to the size of major yachts.

Nick Schade
Nick Schade - 8 years ago
I understand where you are coming from, but I have found that if I leave all the wood showing, the wood loses its impact. I feel that the contrast with the carbon fiber makes the wood look better, and likewise the carbon fiber looks good because of the contrast with the wood. Each material makes the other more interesting and more visually appealing to the eye.

As a true composite material, the combination of the fiberglass, wood and carbon fiber creates a structure that is better than the sum of its parts. It is lightweight and strong.

Obviously I can't afford one of these. I won't even bother asking the price as I can see how much labor goes into one. I also can't afford to build one this way. Best I can do is an approximation using similar techniques and leave off the expensive carbon fiber and epoxy. Looks like fiberglass and resin is the answer for us poor folks.

Love the video editing and background music. Love how the sounds of work sometimes come through for effect. A very skillful video edit to highlight the awesome construction process. Thanks Nick. Wish I could afford one of your wonderful boats.

I know that a rounded bilge/chine to some looks more pleasing, but when it comes down to ease of construction AND performance, hard chines win hands down. So my question is, why go to all the trouble of doing a strip planked kayak when an everyday stitch and glue design is easier and better performance wise?
Nick Schade
Nick Schade - 8 years ago
+Antipodean33 From the perspective of a first time builder, S&G is undoubtably easier and quicker, especially if you are building from a kit. However, if you are an experienced woodworker, strip-building is a more interesting project because it actually involves more woodworking.
Antipodean33
Antipodean33 - 8 years ago
+Nick Schade Yes, i have seen your designs and they are beautiful looking and no doubt excellent boats performance. I should have worded my comment better, i was thinking more in line with a first time builder
Nick Schade
Nick Schade - 8 years ago
+Antipodean33 I design kayaks for their performance. Different hull forms create different performance characteristics. My goal for this kayak was best served with rounded shapes. I do some hard chined stitch and glue designs, when my design goals can be well served by the shapes S&G can produce.

I am currently building a Guillemot from Nick's book. The book alone is educational enough to learn what needs to be done, but the videos are priceless when actually building one of these amazing boats. I have watched all of them, some of them multiple times as I move into different stages of construction. Thank you Nick for teaching me such an awesome, relaxing, and rewarding new skill, the results of which will last generations.

I made one three (?) years ago, and had a couple of big problems. The worst was when I was fitting the two halves back together again. I fussed and fussed with clamps, weights, straps, and all sort of things. And cursing, of course. The secret is at 10:04 of the video. Nick has put in guides to reassemble. Almost makes me want to try again! But not quite.

+Dave Grainger I believe he's using the heated sand to slightly darken and 'shade' some of the lighter pieces to give them depth. Look at the point in the video where he's scraping off the tape and you'll see how the lighter wood around the eagles head has dark shadows. Nice touch.

5:58 what kind of glue is used to glue strips together. This white glue does not looks like epoxy.. is it water-soluble, isn't it? is it a king of D4 wood glue?
pen mightygun

+Sergey Kopylov most likely its elmer's wood glue. remember you have to hand plane and sand all those glue lines.

Lachie55
Lachie55 - 8 years ago
Hi Nick,

I have been following your book for the Great Auk kayak and have loved the process so far.

However, I am struggling with the fibreglassing stage. I have been doing some tests and cannot seem to get the fibreglass to become completely transparent (it seems to be "patchy"), even though it is saturated (in my opinion anyway). I have been putting off full fibreglassing the hull for weeks now for fear it will ruin my hard work.

What is the best bit of advice you can give to keep this from happening.

I am hoping to build another one at some stage and learn from my errors!

Thanks!
Nick Schade
Nick Schade - 8 years ago
+Lachie55 I don't know of any way to fix the sizing after it is contaminated. I believe that the epoxy bond to the glass will not be as strong, but it is probably still strong enough for internal use.
Lachie55
Lachie55 - 8 years ago
+Nick Schade I'd say you've hit the nail on the head there! Something I wasn't aware of. Thanks very much I will take more care with that in future attempts. Contaminated sounds like a permanent problem, are there any steps to make the glass i currently have usable? Or is it a case of ordering fresh glass? Would it be ok to still use that contaminated glass internally where clarity is not critical?
Nick Schade
Nick Schade - 8 years ago
+Lachie55 It may be a problem with your glass. If it got contaminated or the "sizing" damaged it could have problems wetting out. For example if the cloth got wet or was stored in humid conditions.

David Chamness - 8 years ago
I started off thinking, "I want to do that." After watching for a while, I thought, "no, that's more than I can do, I want to buy that." Then, when they got to the inlay, I thought, "no, that's way out of my league, I can't even think about being able to afford that." By the time they were finished, I was thinking, "that's not the right product for me, because it's so nice, I would not even be able to use it - I'm not careful enough with my possessions, and I'd damage it."

It's not an item I'd use, it's art in the shape of a kayak, and I'm much more of a "I'll just bash this around, so I should have indestructible plastic instead" kind of owner.

I use infusion at work. We find it great as far as not getting everything messy and the finished product is really good (if we take the time to get our bag solid!). The amount of waste it generates is huge, it seems to me. The cloth/resin ratio is so much better with infusion. That is a beautiful boat you built, the maple stem totally reads as bronze.
