- I bought a partially finished new reproduction of a Chestnut canoe company Fox 14' canoe. I installed new #12 canvas, canvas filler and Interlux Brightside paint and new spruce gunnels.

You are such a master at restoring and bringing back true gems
So glad I found your channel. I'm sure I will watch them all...many times.
Tomorrow I am floating 8ish miles in a early season canoe race...and it snowed yesterday. Its 22 degrees this AM...the river we are headed to is rough and filled with pretty good rapids...but I have a tough, big canoe picked out for it. AT 55 years old, it's not my favorite way to paddle... but I have a family member who loves the challenge of it every year. We did it together last year too. It's cold when you dunk...but no one dies, lol.
I look forward to quieter, sunny days with my little, light OT pack canoe soon... maybe another month and it will be time. I'm alone on most paddles...just me and the fish I love to catch from my canoes. Nothing better to me than the still quiet of early mornings with a canoe gliding thru the mist.
Thank you again for all these wonderful, inspiring paddling videos.
That's going to be a cold day on the river, have fun and be safe. I agree, nothing better than quiet water in a canoe. Enjoy, it won't be long now.
Good to see you old friend. I took a nice 8 this past deer season up to Lows Lake. Was thinking I might run into you. 6’ x8’ wall tent with wood stove and all the comforts of home. Thanks for sharing your life with us all. Peace and great health
That's some great news, I haven't been able to make it up there for a few years but my son and I have made plans to go to Lows the last week of October for a week of deer camp this fall. I need the help carrying around the upper dam, he hunts hard. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Robin, nice to see you, firm and strong, beautiful canoe.
Thank You, good to be back.
Beautiful boat Robin! Enjoy her!
So glad to see another video from you. What a beautiful canoe you have finished. You are the Master.
Thanks, I owe my limited talents to my mentor Schuyler Thomson.
Robin - Looks like Maine is treating you well. Great work with the canoe and getting it out for the maiden voyage. It's wonderful to see you still bringing boats to life. Take care and until next time...be well.
Thanks Snapper, Maine has been great, working on canoes helps pass the long winter, won't be long now we can get back out on the trail.
You are a very talented man Mr Lauer and passionate in everything you get in touch with. Long healthy life to you sir.
Thank You, You are very kind.
That's a beautiful boat..43 lb only, wow! Great craftsmanship!!
Thanks, I was surprised too when I weighed it on my wife's bathroom scale, it could even be lighter as my wife says the scale always reads higher than actual weight...haha
@@RobinLauer sure it does...Haha! Every wife's scale reads too high! 😆
Sweet little boat, Robin.
Thanks Tim, I pretty happy with it.
Great to see you back !!...What a lovely canoe and you can't beat that final weight !! Cheers
Thanks, Yes that weight is nice, but it comes with a price, not as sturdy as my other Chestnuts.
I just saw your post on FB Solo Canoeist and had to drop by to see the TH-cam! I love your craftmanship and your shop! I've been a fan for quite a while now and enjoy your Adirondack trips, especially to Low's Lake. I'm heading to Round Lake this weekend right after this round of snow! This was a great video! Keep posting!
Thanks, Have a good time at Round Lake, wonderful place.
Lovely looking canoe.
Thank You
Another great little video.......BUT I sure do miss your canoe/deer hunts.
Ya, those were old school cool
It's been a while, but my son has agreed to go with me this fall. He can help me carry the gear around the portage at the upper dam. He is a very good deer hunter so I'm hoping to have a successful hunt. It will be great to get back up there again.
Enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing Robin!
Thanks, won't be long now you'll be posting a new trip I guess. Enjoy.
@@RobinLauer yes heading out soon. When I get back I will need to start working on the Chestnut Chum. Hope to pick your brain when I get stuck on certain tasks!
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Looks great, Robin.
Thanks Mike
Great work Buddy. Being a Canadian it is great to know you used Robertson Screws!
Your craftmanship and appreciation for time spent crafting with your hands is most evident.
Hi Robin how are you keeping mate? We celebrated ANZAC Day here a couple of weeks ago in Australia ( we commemorate the Australian & New Zealand Army Corp from WW1 and beyond) and my mate Pedro, whom I mentioned previously, marched with some of his community vets. I went to a dawn service that was well attended. You seem to be keeping well and I trust aching to get back on the water in your spring. So happy to see this new entry and look forward to many more. By the way our canoe trip in Feb was a bit of a disaster- water at the beginning and end but not much in the middle; dragged my new canoe about 15 kms over scrub and rock. Ah well. Cheers Pete from Australia
Nice job!! What a beauty buddy!!!!
Yeah that’s a handy little canoe
Good to see you posting vlogs again, good to see something real on TH-cam
Well Done Sir!!
Beautiful canoe!

Awesome craftsmanship. So glad to see another video of you and your canoes. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful little canoe! Thanks for sharing its story!
Beautiful boat!
Thank You

Thanks
That is a lovely boat. Thanks for showing us the steps!
Thank You
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You
Love the color ! Classic.
Thanks
a real nice lil canoe - sure like its weight - im to the point them 80 pound canvas are jus too much - take care
Truly beautiful. Thank you fir sharing. Would love to drop by a chat someday.
Thanks, My door is always open here in Appleton, please let me know when you are in the area, see the shop, talk canoes.
Great job! That’s a beautiful canoe. What kind of maintenance does canvass require?
Proper storage, out of the elements is most important. Canvas can last a long time but if the canoe is used for tripping it might need replacement earlier, maybe 5 seasons if it's worked hard. Sand and paint more often, maybe a patch here and there will prolong the life of the canvas. Thanks for the comment.
Hi
I am looking at purchasing a canoe.
The person says it is a Chestnut Chum..
It has no serial number or decals...
Do you know how i could be sure its a Chum just by looking at pictures?
Thanks
Norm
That’s great, do you make your gunnels or purchase them?
Thanks Paul
Thanks, I make my own, I have used long ash ripped from some 18' clear 1x5" rs planks I have, I have bought ash boards from Lowes (1x6", 10') and ripped and spliced them, they came out really nice with a 8" splice. On this canoe I bought some spruce "lathe"1x3 from Lowes, 16' lenght and ripped them. That was some really knotty wood, but for now it works till I find a source of clear spruce. I like spruce rather than ash now for the weight savings as I age. Haha
Hi Mr. Lauer, Beautiful Canoe! When you put the Canvas on, do you also cover it with Fiberglass? thanks Dan
Thanks Dan, No, never fiberglass, after the canvas is installed a filler is brushed on. There are various fillers but I used the traditional formula that takes about 35 days to cure. It makes the canvas waterproof, then it is sanded and painted. There is a book called This Old Canoe by Mike Elliot, it is an excellent reference for restoring a wood canvas canoe, and it has the recipe for the traditional formula, the money you save making your own filler will cover the cost of the book. Hope this helps, what canoe do you have? Robin
@@RobinLauer No Canoe yet, but i have seen a few on different places that were available at attractive prices if you knew how to restore them. The beauty of the canoes along with the history (always makes me think of Bill Mason) i have always wanted a wood and canvas. I will pick up the book. My brother is moving to Maine in a few weeks, and I know there are a lot more up there that might be located for restoration.
@@danclements1990 Chestnuts are great wood canvas canoes, Cheers
