This is a recap of a longer build that I documented in the "Making Petrel Play" video series. If you would like to see this build in more detail, please watch my play list at: th-cam.com/play/PLnPW0gzxQ0NiQpnO_mOyB9sbnqlb6aanP.html
Beautiful montage of this build series. This will be my third time watching this series. Always more tips and tricks learned that was missed in previous viewings. Thanks for sharing.
Nick, I want to thank you for the perfect plan I ordered from you. Last year I made the petrel play, very stricktly following your videos and the result is absolutely great. Took me about 250 hours to build, spread over 6 months. Since then, I go kayaking on rivers, lakes , canals and the sea shore and the kayak is doing great. It's really fun, especially in the waves. Very stable, fast, quick in the turns, really an upgrade from my former plastic junk. And stylish too!!!
I've seen many videos of people building dinghys and small boates from plywood or other kinds of wood. This is by far superior in every way. The design is awesome, the weight looks great, the finish outstanding and the classy look just tops it all. Even the filming and music was nice! Would love to see what you would do to make a 15 foot fast sailboat!
I rewatched him glueing the fiberglass and sanding and clear coat part like 3 times! so satisfying just to watch, this inspires me to maybe try this one day. Thank you for sharing and please, don't stop making kayaks. You have an extraordinary gift for being able to make something like this.
Good lord - mesmerising in the extreme. About every 5 seconds I found myself imagining just how I could totally stuff up at that point. It's long been a dream of mine to build a strip kayak but watching this reinforces that perhaps my lifetime is insufficient for such a quest. Thank you for sharing your wonderful workmanship with us. Many regards from Sydney, Aust - Dave
This has to be the best built kayak I’ve ever seen. The fit & finish is 2nd to none. Just Beautiful, Congratulations on a spectacular job‼️👍👍🚣♀️. Vinny 🇺🇸
@@NickSchade Thats korrekt, but i haff no Room to Build a nice kayak but i build smal rc mahagoni modellboats :-) sorry my english is not so god i am from Germany ( Hamburg)
A wonderfully done job. Now if I could only convince myself that I need a kayak I would love to try and attempt a build. Too many hobbies and too little time, but thanks for sharing the journey with us.
This is one of the very best vids I have ever watched on TH-cam. Excellent pace. World class craftsmanship. I could not afford it, but I wonder what this would cost to have made.
great Kayak I currently use a Hobie but this Kayak is something beyond a Kayak I wish I had the skill and patients to build such a useful functioning piece of art you have a GREAT SKILL Mr Schade
Congratulations! I learn a lot, because I need to do some repairs in old wooden boats similar to these - but no so good as yours, off course, dear! It's a traditional wooden job with today composite resin, just wonderfull!!!!
A true master craftsman with an amazing talent. very impressive! Lots of work and you added to the task by video taping the process. Thanks for sharing your incredible build!!
I could see the high level of knowledge of your craft in every step. Video quality was spot on as well. Very inspirational. Thank you for your time and effort in sharing this. When I’m able to contribute, I will be looking for your Patrion.
Thank you! I have enjoyed wood all my life. I am a good chainsaw carpenter. The detail, small work is where I lack. Steel - metal - just weld or braze in extra. Wood needs me to work slower. Cheers - Love the work! It is art!
Thanks for the vid, I bought the kit plans from you a few years ago before I got sick - I hope to start on it soon, and will watch your other vids for the detail!
Its realy amazing, great job. The level of details is blow my mind, they way that you made and the time put in kayak. I wish have one like this. I am a wood lover, sou you let me whitout words. A big hug from Argentina.
Here in colorado the lake shore and rivers are so rocky, id worry the whole time. Only go out during runoff. "New yak here! No scratches please! Get out, lower water coming up ahead." Thats so pretty! Its like a chris craft kayak.

My wife is concerned at how often I'm watching your videos. I love your work. Keep it up.
This is one the purest forms of craftmanship I have ever seen. Compliments.
What amazing craftsmanship, I never get tired of watching masters at work...now if only I could do more working than watching
Just come across this, you have the hands a an artist, a pure thing of beauty you created.
I have to say that I have watched many kayaks/canoes being built on U Tube, but this is one of the best.... thanks for sharing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is not a Kayak, this is a "piece of art"!
Great Job!!!
You're an artist and a craftsman. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
