Super nice video, thanks for putting it together. I'm building an S&G Cirrus LT for my wife first, already got the kit and most supplies and tools, still have to insulate and clean up my 230 year old barn to make it a suitable workshop for the winter. I'll build the full Cirrus for myself next, then maybe a stripper next year. Don't have boat building experience, but have built ultralight and Experimental airplanes so eager to get going. Vaclav at oneoceankayak does a great job with his kits.

Круто. Но имея такой гараж с оборудованием вполне выполнимо!

@MrLeonard55 2:11 through 2:28 are photos of running the strips through the router table. One side is run with a coving bit and the other with a beading bit. 2:26 through 2:28 photo shows some strips finished. The one on the left has the bead and cove visible. The left side is rounded convex (bead) and the right side is concave (cove). Each beaded edge along the entire strip fits into the coved edge of the previous strip and adapts well to bending and vurving of the strips. See 3:55.

MrLeonard55 - 14 years ago

Can you show me an example of the bead and cove? Thanks.

MrLeonard55 - 14 years ago

Where can i get the prints and stuff?

Crashmo1 - 14 years ago

@JustWonderingHowToDo They are 1/4 thick x 5/8 wide. More importantly, we learned to plane them all to exactly the same thickness. Varying thickness created problems, even minor variances. They are all beaded and coved. Hope you get a chance to see pt.s 2-4 as well. They are in the water.

How thick are the strips and did you put a beed and cove on them?

Crashmo1 - 14 years ago

@cherokee0566269 Look for the same title, Pts. 2 through 4 plus the paddle. We've actually had them in the water for a year now.

Hello! Congratulations for your hard work. Magnificent result. Unique beauty. Who provided the building plans? F. Xavier - Brazil -

We used Western Red and Alaskan Yellow cedar. The red was much more like a noodle and easier to bend, but where you have trouble, use a heat gun or hair dryer. Our strips were 1/4 inch and seemed just about right. Thicker means less ability to bend and twist. Thinner means you sand through it eventually. I've seen pine, redwood, mahogany and other hardwoods used as well. You should visit One Ocean Kayak website and Guillemot website too. More info there.

jack.manfield - 15 years ago

well we got some "instructions" but they aren't very detailed, I have seen that book aroud and was wondering if it was a good resource, I have just asked my library if they have "strip built sea kayak" they will get it for me. Thanks for your halp and happy paddling.

Crashmo1 - 15 years ago

That's odd, unless it was from a private owner. Anyhow... Nick Shade of Guillemot kayaks has a book called "Building a Strip Cedar Kayak" or something very close to that. Do a search for his web, Guillemot kayaks. His entire website is informative. Then go check One Ocean Kayak's site as well. There is a lot of info out there. And pictures.

jack.manfield - 15 years ago

me and my mom just got some plans and we were hoping to get some instructions with them but there were none, are there any good books that you could suggest?

Tomy Hovington - 15 years ago

hey hope you guys get to go in the water soon! I just made a video of my cape ann construction...maybe you woul like to have a look at it...ive been out all winter and enjoying the spring with all the wildlife aroud:)

Tomy Hovington - 16 years ago

nice work! just finished My Cape ann yesterday..it is great in the water...i love it... i found the fiberglass the longest part of the whole project... One ocean have the best print and step by step explanation out there! have a great time completing yours they both look awesome!!!

Crashmo1 - 16 years ago

Of course. Or a Guillemot. Either if you're thinking of a strip cedar. I've heard from another that has built both that Pygmi would be a choice for stitch also. No matter, build something and put it in the water, you'll be happy.

Julie A. Helling - 16 years ago

I love this video! Very inspiring. Do recommend building a One Ocean Kayak? I'm thinking of getting the stitch-and-glue Cirrus kit...

Crashmo1 - 16 years ago

Tracy has decided to revamp her deck. Last weekend the entire deck came off. It was drastic, but it was in fact the inlay that was holding us up. Now we have some renewed momentum and hope to get on with this project. You'll see more of the show, hopefully all the way through glassing, sometime in the coming months. Thanks for your patience. 11/05/08

The boats are built in 2 clamshell like peices. The hull, or bottom, and the deck. There is an unglued line between the two halves. This is called the sheer line. So in the end of the wood process the boat can be separated like a top and bottom clamshell along the sheer line. The strips (planks) are glued to each other and in our case clamped in place at each station. There will be 2 bulkheads inserted and siliconed in place in the end. Thanks for your interest.

jonasmajewski - 16 years ago

Man, this is totally awesome! Great building skills. I'm really impressed! How do you get the spine out when it's finished? How did you manage to keep the planks in place? Doesn't the whole hull fall apart when handled in the water because of the lack of bulkheads?

Crashmo1 - 16 years ago

Hi, Thanks for watching. The initial cost was building the frames(which are reusable). each one was about $35 for the ply for the strongback(the center spine) and another $20 for the sheet of MDF for the stations. We found a supplier in Eugene, OR for the clear cedar. I think we paid about $5-600 for enough for both boats, they were rough 2 x 4s. After glass and epoxy I'd say each boat is going to run $8-900 in materials. You have to love it. You should visit One Ocean Kayak's website.

Graeme w - 16 years ago

AMAZING

Crashmo1 - 16 years ago

No, unfortunately. Every weekend that comes along is supposed to be "The weekend" to go out and do more work. Inevitably something always stands in the way.
