Can You Make a Canoe from Plywood? DIY Quick Canoe. Plywood Cheap Canoe Build

- I try to make a canoe from plywood!
Plans for the Quick Canoe: bit.ly/quick-canoe
Link to Noah's Marine: www.noahsmarine.com
Plans and epoxy were provided to me, though I was not paid to promote them.
I decided to make a cheap canoe, so I started looking around online. I found a few plans for making plywood canoes and finally settled on the Quick Canoe 155 designed by Michael Storer. Apparently it can be built in a week, however I took a lot longer than that, likely because I spent so much time trying to make it look pretty :)
This is not a tutorial, more just a look at how I did things.
A couple things to note:
It is still possible to give multiple coats of epoxy even after the original coat of epoxy has fully cured, but it does mean that the first layer of epoxy will need to be sanded before recoating. The wet on wet technique I used reduces sanding and improves surface smoothness.
The wood I used, in the end, was Fir, which, I have been told checks easily over time, and therefore might not be the best wood choice, however, it was all I could find that was actually waterproof. It also was quite porous and soaked up a lot of epoxy when I was coating it, which would have made the final canoe a bit heavier.
I'm not sure if it was clear, but the outwales get dry-fitted first and then when the glue is applied (probably better to apply it to the outwale than the side of the canoe) the outwale gets screwed back into the same holes.

So many videos like this don't actually go into the details of what they're doing, they just show everything in time lapse. This is such a great video.
Appreciate the comment, and I can't agree more!
Ikr If I ever want to build a canoe I feel I totally can!
This is the best life I have every seen and it has changed my video forever.
😁
Do you have learning disability ?
I have never seen a better plywood canoe video
Thanks!
That is really AWESOME! Great job, looks beautiful, and your family looks like they are enjoying all your work, so fun! You are a great dad!
"this is the best video I have ever seen and it has changed my life forever!"
Hehe, thanks!
@@LostWax2 just saying: "this is the best video I have ever seen and it has changed my life forever!"
You must have had a crap life !
@@LostWax2 he was ironic!
Life changing- best plywood canoe video ever!
Always love watching a build come together.
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated.
This is the best video of a plywood canoe I have watched many thanks Mick.
lovely build! the care on the build shows
What you've done is a professional kind of thing - really superb!
Beautiful video and great work! A very detailed video with lovely commentary! Thank you!
I appreciate your work so much because it makes these complicated projects feel actually within my reach! Thanks for re-uploading this one!
You're very welcome! Thanks for re-watching it:)
Such an enjoyable build. And a beautiful canoe!
Thanks Odin!
are you planning on building a canoe odin :)
Fantastic video and a great sense of humor. Thanks for making it.
Wow what a beautiful looking canoe. Well done Chris
Thanks 👍
Such a beautiful canoe. I hope your family enjoys it for years to come. You definitely made it look like something doable.
Thanks, I think it'll last a good long time (especially since it's only warm enough to use 4 month of the year here:)
Dude, your canoe looks really incredible, and I'm so impressed with the fact that you built it yourself. It really is impressive! Nice job.
Thanks a ton!
Lovely portrait of sanding. God bless anyone who sticks with that chore.
And thanks for the video, I was just looking for a way to get out to my mooring for the boat and after I checked if I could walk on water, figured I needed a not-too-wide yoke of some sort.
That canoe you made looks ideal to copy so think I might justy try that
Never would have thought to make a canoe from plywood! Love your videos, you're so funny and make things look so easy!
Glad you like them!
This is the greatest video of all time and it has changed my life forever!
🙏
Beautiful, thanks for sharing with us.
This is the best channel I have ever seen and actually it has changed my life forever. Thank you Chris!
Wow! That's cool:)
I hadn't realized before that a plywood canoe was missing from my life. Excellent video!
Thanks you!!
Wow! Fantastic video!!! You are an extremely determined person and the canoe is gorgeous. I’ll be sure to buy waterproof plywood if/when I attempt to make this canoe. Great job!
Yep, always good to check the ply first. Lesson learned. Thanks for watching!!
Cool, tempted to give it a go and make one.
Thanks for sharing that build, looks like a great canoe.👍
Thanks!
Thanks for the video! I had been thinking about a cedar strip canoe, but this gets the job done with much less fuss!
Yep, it'd be way faster to go this way. Not as pretty but still a good boat. Something kinda in between is a plywood stitch and glue canoe- a little more complicated than this one, but has a more traditional canoe shape. Michael Storer has plans for those too- check them out from the link in this vid.
Everything about this video is great, the way you talk, the way you bring your loved ones into, especially your grandfather, without his equipment, you're gonna do a lot more work 😊, the way you put your mistakes in the video, the way you find solutions in every situation, most importantly, the way you try your best for getting the best results, either give more time or expenses, and they way you show us on having fun with your results at the end with your family. Love it very much.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for all you do! :)
You are so welcome!
Nicely done. Thanks for the video.
That turned out beautiful. Very educational, and very entertaining. You would make an awesome teacher.
Wow, thank you! My wife its a teacher. Hats off to all the teachers out there, you have such an important, also hard job!
Love your videos, glad to see your new channel is off to a strong start!
Thank you so much!
This is such a helpful video! I love that you are so thorough.
Glad it was helpful!
This video doesn't changed my life at all, but you do once in a while since i purchased your bundle of patterns and i suscribed to your vids. Great maker, good video maker and what i suppose a big heart in that chest and a wholesome man!
Awww, you're too kind. Glad you are getting value from that bundle too!! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment❤️
Wow great job. Thank you for sharing.
Always a big fan of Chris's videos
Thanks Todd!
Really well filmed and explained, great plan for a great little boat.
Many thanks!
You made me aware that practical and art and the knowledge to put them together are gifts both to you the maker and to all of us who watch your videos. Thank you.
Wow, thank you so much for the beautiful words. ❤️
Brilliant!
pretty amazing, your family is adorable
Awww, thanks!
Very cool result.
I canoe't believe how good this is! This boat looks water-tight!
Yep, it's totally leakproof and solid. and paddles well to boot!
This is an amazing video by a very practical and entertaining guy! Thanks, this video may have changed my life forever!
Hehe, thanks for watching (and subscribing to my newsletter)
Chris, your videos are the best! Even if I don't need to make whatever you are making, I always watch the video from beginning to end.
I am sure that, if I DID make something from one of your videos, it would indeed change my life!
Awww, that's so nice, thanks for watching my vids:)
This is the best canoe video I have ever seen and it changed my life forever!
😁
This is an amazing video. Helps to appreciate just how much time and work goes into making a beautiful canoe like this one. It also helps to understand the price of them and the value they hold if built well.
Yeah, we seem to have lost an appreciation for fine craftsmanship in our world of mass produced thingies. Sometimes it's so good to make something with your own hands and appreciate the value of that.
Ang ganda ng gawa mo kaibigan at detalyado ang bawat galaw👍😃
Superb build 👏
I think I will attempt making this as a test to see if I'm ready to build my own cedarstrip canoe
I shared this on my facebook timeline. Tagged my kids so they can make one so they can make fun memories with their kids and/or grandkids. Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing!!
This is the best video I have ever seen and it has changed my life forever.
😁 I knew it would!!
Glad to help Michael and you :)
Thanks heaps!
Thank you Marea!
Satisfying to watch, and even more satisfying to paddle around in something you made yourself!
So satisfying!
Yep, nice job Sir ! .
This is a great build video. Glad it was pointed out to me.
Thanks for watching!!
Excellent video , and beautiful canoe too.
Probably the best video on how to build a simple plywood canoe I have found.
Take a bow sir , for sharing , it`s a job very well done !
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
Well done, nice job! Love the fact you showed throwing out the original plywood and starting all over. Cheers.
Thank you very much!

That's a good lookin' canoe! Nice job!
Thank you!
love watching your videos, clear, informative and funny
I appreciate that!
Great looking canoe Chris.
Thanks 👍
beautiful boat and a wonderful video. Great job on all fronts! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!!
This is the best video I have ever seen and has changed my life forever! Thanks and keep up with the great content! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Will do!
Loved it the first time around and love it still this time around. Great second channel x
Yay! Thank you!
Beautiful little boat. Well done.
Many thanks!
Nice job. This simple clean design is basically a narrow dory, a proven seaworthy concept, and you built her to last. Congrats on this success.
If you squared off the stern and reinforced it, you'd be able to put a small outboard on her. As light as she is, you could probably get her to plane with 5hp or less.
Great video! I wish I had the room to build a canoe like this. Good instructions, as always! 😉 This is the best canoe building video I have ever seen! 🤩
Thanks! 👍
Great to see this brilliant video again. I'm glad that it has not disappeared!
Indeed, thanks again Michael for the excellent plans and for answering all my questions during the build.
@@LostWax2 Very Welcome Chris - a nice partnership for the project! And a big grateful shout out to your followers and supporters! Thankyou from the bottom of my heart.
Rewatching to help after relocation of the video. Great job 👏
Sounds like we just transplanted a tree:) Thanks for the watch and comment!
Great job with that project
Thanks!!
This is awesome, thank you.
Turned out great!
Cheers!
Sooo cool! 🤩 this is the best video I have ever seen And it has changed my life forever! Thanks!
Wow, thanks I'm glad it was so impacting for you:)
this is amazing! I can't believe I just watched you MAKE a BOAT!
This is excellent - I can see another project being added to my list of “Things I Need”
Nice.
It's beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! 😊
Great video of Quick Canoe, I would say it is the best one on YT.👍
I am considering building QC for my family of 4. Do you maybe have measurements where you have positioned your seats? It seems to me that on the original plan they are too close to each other. Your more spaced-out position gives more balance with two paddlers and more space for the equipment and kids in the middle.
Hi Chris, I love all you videos (you can probably tell from my previous comments lol) and when you had to start over I just wanted to give you a hug! I think you’re a huge inspiration to those of us who want to “give it a go” and I never get tired hearing you talking... you still have the calmest, most relaxing voice on TH-cam 😊. I hope you get another 1.5M views for this video. Sending joy and laughter to you and your family. Ps please can you do another song like “aviator”... it just radiates joy (and your family are totally awesome and talented). Keep smiling.
Awww, thanks so much Ian, and I am so glad my videos can encourage people to give it a go. I've been "giving it a go" my whole life and have learned so much both from failures and successes. Probably more from failures:) Anyways, d=so good to hear from you, and you never know, we might have another song or two in us:)
You sir inspire me todo more! Awesome job!
That's all I can ask:) Thanks!
Nice job!! Have fun.
Thanks! Will do!
this is the best video I have ever seen and it has changed my life forever"
Nice. ❤️

Awesome instructional video. Informative with a side of humour. 🌞
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this upload the first time and enjoyed it again love and respect my friend
Thanks for coming back and giving it another watch!
You're a very talented young man Chris, and I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks for watching!!
This is a great video, its cool that you can just make something very practical like this in your garage out of pretty basic materials
Totally. So much you can do with even just a jigsaw and a drill.
I love your use of period materials and primitive building techniques.
Thanks!!
Just as good as Xyla Foxlin's canoe video. Really love the clear, simple explanation of steps involved. Also, 'butt straps!'
Hey thanks! Love those cedar strip canoes!
Well done!
Nice job mate
Wow, Interesting design and looks like fun to make.
Fun, with a lot of not so fun sanding thrown in for good measure😁
oooh, very cool 🛶🛶🛶
You explain this so well. Thanks
You're very welcome!
So inspiring!
The glory of a job well done, is to have done it. Great Job!!
Thank you kindly!
You are the only guy who tested his plywood before installing it. Commendable very good
Great video. Great project.
Great job, lov it!!
Thanks so much!
What a great video! I feel like even I could follow this.
What a great compliment, thanks!
Excellent as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome build
I'm glad you like it
