Wonderful! As a practicer of experimental archeology, look up Alaskan natives sewing techniques- simple, and completely watertight. It'll allow you to close up those gaps in the hull!
My goodness how amazing to be taught by Joe Hogan, he has become quite a legend, that was a beautiful model you made and an amazing little boat thank you for the video ❤
This is amazing, I just started some projects after finding some old tools in my garage. because of you I found inspiration to restore and use some of my old tools. Have a great day lad
Well done ! I have watched videos of people making a coracle in Wales and I’m sure these type of boats were widespread throughout Ireland although it’s referred to as the “ boyne “ coracle. In wales there are weekend classes where you make your own coracle. If I were making one I’d definitely use a canvas sheet to cover rather than cow hide but fair play to ye for taking on the extra work involved.
So that's how Reepeecheep did it! The Narnian champion in his coracle that sailed solo towards the Emperor beyond the sea. Thank you for showing us the process. Hard but fabulous! Well done. Greetings from Australia.
Incredible. Just yesterday I was reading about the goddess ceridwen and stumbled across a type of boat I’d never heard of called a coracle and of course went down a rabbit hole about how to build them. This is perfect
Excellent value, the only thing missing was the fire 🔥 pit copious amounts of mead and whisky with the smell of food being cooked over the fire 🔥 pit… great weekend… AND it floated… well done…
Im writing a novel where the character is in a boat of this type and I have never seen one, and so this will be so helpful to me to describe it and sense what it is like. Thank you for sharing.
I just bought my first wood plane today and some saws you inspired me to build stuff out of wood and restore old tools. Im so happy I found your content you're awesome!
I like doing things the old ways... I recently learned the skill of meat curing and sausage making, I also enjoy wood working with hand tools as well as restoring old tools which led me to Eoin Reardon.
great to see an Irish build, I've built a Boyne style coracle, and helped build probably 70 or so other ones (here in Wales) respect for going straight in to a hide one! my first two were calico and pitch, the third, well best we don't mention that
Amazing to witness - those three days were more than worth it! Love all your videos, and great to see these traditional structures (and in other videos, so many tools) kept alive. As a bushcraft enthusiast, I'm definitely going to have to find a moment to construct one myself!
I love this so much. You have got to be one of my favorite creators on this platform, and I wish these longer form videos would get more views. They’re so calming!
I see stuff like this and i think of Hamlet's speech, What a piece of work is man. But i mean it with admiration. Only humans could think to take a bunch of stiff but flexible reeds, weave them all together and slap a hide on the bottom to make a boat. We're amazing and terrifying and insane. The paragon of animals.
I love your videos and have learned so much! I truly appreciate it! Went out and got myself some trusty linseed oil! Sanded an old axe handle for my brother and the linseed made it look so beautiful! Much love from Canada 🇨🇦 cheers!
My great grandparents came from Cork. Coracles are far older of course, but I find an odd fascination with the complexities and brilliant genius found in this ancient technology. Thank you for enlightening my look back from over here in Utah, USA. And…thanks for “watching the language.”
I've gotta say one of my favorite parts of these videos is how every bit of what you're saying is totally understandable to my American ears until one of the older folk how up and you all revert into the native tongue hahaha I know it's still english and I'd say I'm fairly good at understanding accents after enjoying so much media from Ireland and GB over the years, but once you guys go native I truly cannot understand a word and I love it haha. Keep the culture alive!
@@josephinemonahan915 yes, it’s a figure of speech used to describe people acting and behaving as authentic to their cultural identity. I appreciate it, they’re native irish people being unabashedly natively Irish. Go native!
@@razzlethorn it reminded me of Dylan Moran talking about the British Empire…invading some far flung country…..pointing weapons and saying “you, you and you, f***k off, we’re having tiffin😂
I spy with my little eye, a No.8. Opinel. I think I saw you use it to sharpen the points of the rods. Cool video. (Edit: I definitely saw your Opinel when you were cutting the twine)😉
3 questions: How long do one of these last? Where’d ya get that fine hat? And where’d ya get that ol conductors shirt? Company I bought from here in the US quit selling their old timey line and I just dont jive with the new style.
You and Hollywood Hogan should redo one in the shape of a canoe. I’m not sure if you guys have birch trees in Ireland, but the wood be cool to see if you could build one birch bark style.
Sounds like such and amazing way to live not doing a 100 PhDs only to be working your arse off at a computer desk for someone else who tells you what to do and nonsense I enjoy these videos makes me wish i were living such a life
Hi, great video! I’m hoping to make one as well. Did you guys dry and soak your ribs and weavers before making this coracle? Or are you working with fresh materials?
This was so much fun to make!
It was lad, We will have to make a proper sea going currach next time.
Definitely! A traditional 3 hide currach in the shape of the kerry naomh óg would be class.

y’all are awesome 🛶

Amazing work. When you were cutting that bit of hide off with the blade pointing towards the main artery in his wrist, my heart was in my throat.
What amazes me is the number of different skills you boys have. You do the Irish proud.
Wonderful! As a practicer of experimental archeology, look up Alaskan natives sewing techniques- simple, and completely watertight. It'll allow you to close up those gaps in the hull!
Amazing work, I’m waiting on seeing you cross the ocean to Canada
Fantastic to see these crafts kept alive.

Were you reading about Taliesin getting caught in Gwyddno's weir?
Great information of Irish folkcraft.
Thank you
Very cool. All that hard work seemed so peaceful with the animal sounds in the background and greenery. ❤
Fascinating, as well as therapeutic. Such a beautiful craft❤

Great video, we need to see more of your boat-making skills in the future mate. Have a good one

thanks lad
That's amazing fellas! Great work and great content!
I was happy to hear the name Joe O'Hogan.
A wizard of a gent.
Nice project! Never heard of this type of boat - it's basically an inside-out bathtub !
Well done!
You can do anything at all you try. Amazing!

Very fun and interesting to see! Thank you for the video 🤗
Absolutely love the smell of planed cedar. I had to surface a cedar parquet floor once, the whole building smelled amazing for months.
I've got books on the coracle and it's on my long list of projects I've always wanted to do. LOVED this video!
Both wonderfully simple and incredibly complex
So amazing beautiful tribute to history
Why Irving Finkel at the British museum would LOVE to see this.😁 See his talk regarding noahs ark ✌️

Does the hide require any kind of waterproofing?
This is epic. Recently got the coracle books, and been scheming to make one of my own suited to the river by my house! You did a proper job on it!
Excellent lads FairPlay! I watched the whole thing was just looking for this!
Bro! I freaking LOVE your videos, You're a cool Fella, Always wanted to check out Ireland ❤
I’d love to see a Q&A with Eoin so much!
I saw the short video for this and I was so exited for this to come out! Love your stuff!
Ah lads that's brilliant, fair play to ye! The smile between ye at 14:07 was class haha!

I have never seen this type of water craft anywhere but in Ireland it's genius stuff, and you've both done excellent work 👏.

Fascinating!! Beautiful to watch
This is great! It was fun to watch and I learned about something new.
Such a beautiful art!
That’s a fine looking job you did there. And all with traditional tools and skills. It’s a lost art.
I love you boating videos, would love to see more of your traditional boat adventures
I knew I was gonna enjoy this as soon as I heard "we need at least 6 inches of topsoil"

I don't know if Eoin's a prude like you Utahns, but as an entirely different viewer I'd appreciate if your influence was minimal here.
Great to see an interest in the old ways . Keep the faith guys in these times of foregn invasion.
Love these videos man
Excellent stuff!
Your trusty Opinel had a rough time, but it did the job amazingly!

I cut my first board in my life the other day, now I'm here watching this considering handcrafting a boat hahahahaha
About 20 years ago I saw one of those on the rte show hands and said to me self "I have to make one of those " maybe this year I might make an effort
Did it go well?
That was class!
You've got me wanting to make one for myself, and I hate rowing 😂😂
Good show.
Well done, thanks
great video!
it looks great! also a bit like a headcrab from half life. looks great!

any larger and i would not of fit, great job boys
Would there be any benefit to tanning the skin? For the sake of longevity.
come to west virginia!
You should make a proper sea goin currach lad, that’d be brilliant to see.
Amazing work guys! What steps have you taken to prevent the skin from rotting? Commonly seen to apply salt so far I know.

Have any of you folk seen Geraint Pillock's coracle from Barry Welsh coming? Welsh comedy gold. Plus showcasing the coracle
Sounds like such and amazing way to live not doing a 100 PhDs only to be working your arse off at a computer desk for someone else who tells you what to do and nonsense
I enjoy these videos makes me wish i were living such a life
Little wonder, how years ago, working folks would have arms like legs. Good on yer both, the birth was painless.
never even thought about boats being made this way, seems genius though, is it lightweight?
W O W 😍
tôi xem hết video và rất ngạc nhiên về cách làm thú vị này
Hi, great video! I’m hoping to make one as well. Did you guys dry and soak your ribs and weavers before making this coracle? Or are you working with fresh materials?
early, niiiiice
great video btw, honestly this made me want to make my own (i dont know how i will but i'll have a think)
