Brian Oltrogge I would not have thought of the pre-cut strips because I would be too worried about the tolerances working out at full-size, but I bet it will work great. It is a cool innovation.
Wow, high praise coming from you Nick! I've loved your build series and hope to eventually build one myself. I do think there is something to this approach that Brian has done, especially if he can figure out an effective way to do the stitch and glue method without needing to do any stitching. It would make for a beautiful craft.
Brian, your are a gift from God. Hope that you know the vast numbers of people that learn from your videos, your sober an eficient way of talking and working. Every tool you use may be to many of your vwiers the first time thay see it and what a priviledge to be presented by you.
My father's generation referred to work like this as 'a labour of love'. There are people who would wonder why a man would go to so much trouble to make a scale model, but the proof of your being right is the piece of art, shaped like a kayak, hanging on your wall. The old carpenters would make elaborate tool chests as evidence of their craftmanship, but you can point to that model, having used modern tools like a laser cutter and a 3d printer, and it speaks for itself. Well done. Once you have the actual full-scale kayak to paddle around, you will appreciate all of the benefits you derived from being so painstakingly careful in the model. God has honoured you with the gifts of craftmanship and art, and like many before you, you took those gifts and ran with them, developed them to the point where I anticipate with glee, what you will produce next.
I'm so happy to see you back at it! I know life has not worked out the way you thought, but you're still forging ahead with new designs and ideas. Great to see you again Brian.
Now there's a name I've missed seeing in my notifications. Welcome back Brian, great to see you again. I hope all is well in the Oltrogge camp. Having now watched the video; Wow, that is a beautiful looking design. This is what it looks like when both function *and* form are both done right 👌 I had forgotten how much I've missed you videos. The level of engineering, precision, dedication and forward planning that go into each of your projects is nothing short of brilliant. Keep posting whenever you can Brian, we'll be watching 😀👍
Yeah, that is a dilemma, lol! I think enough will be different in the full size version to warrant a video... definitely some of the same scenes, though.
I have been waiting 3yrs for this video. Thank you and you didn’t disappoint. You are one of the reason I post to YT and Instagram. Thank for the inspiration and please don’t make me wait 3 more!!
OH My... Man I have been waiting on a new build from you. Even checking your website from time to time. You. Did. Not. Disappoint. Such an awesome video.
That is the way I am too... I have only ever unsubscribed from people that put out too much content. If you post a video every Tuesday and Thursday, I know I can check back anytime. If you publish once a month, I’m going to need a notification.

Three years ago, this is the video that made me subscribe. I don’t know if you’re still planning on the full sized model, but you should put a small motor on this guy to drive it around in a pond.
Thanks! This was the last video that got meaningful views for my channel…. Shortly after, TH-cam also broke out in a rash of Kayaks and Canoes from various YT makers. I bought all of the wood and cut the full scale buck. I still need to buy about $450 worth of epoxy and fiberglass. Going from a self supporting channel where I could budget for tools and materials to barely able to document my own projects I pay for out of my own pocket made it so I had to reprioritize my projects based on what I could actually afford from time and money. I still intend to do the full size version although I used the epoxy and fiberglass for the Koi Pond that got 18K views. I am considering producing a limited run of Kayak kits to help pay for the full scale version. I don’t agree with the changes TH-cam has made that punishes longer format content from older channels. I think they have gone overboard with commercials and I would rather not do videos for products if I can help it. It is an unfortunate situation that will hopefully resolve itself soon as I know many TH-camrs are struggling to continue their channel. I am making content whether anyone will ever see it or not. I am also focusing on developing a prefab building, while balancing a job and taking on uninteresting fabrication work to pay the bills. Sorry for being so long…
@@Grunblau I have a similar problem with funds towards my own kayak project so I know what you mean. YT is getting really out of hand. I wish there was a better platform, but I know that there aren’t as many views on other platforms. Keep working hard, I’ll keep doing what I can do for you on my end, and I’ll definitely keep an eye out for possible kits.
I wish you were able to post videos more often. As somebody who probably has OCD, I find your designs extremely satisfying. Well thought out and elegant.
@@Grunblau I've watched nearly every aluminum melting channel and video on TH-cam, (seriously, the good ones anyway), and your foundry and process are unmatched. Are you doing more leather and aluminum casting videos or are you changing the direction of the channel toward something like woodworking? I'd be fine with either honestly because I love your top notch attention to detail!
I’ll continue to do various projects including aluminum, leather work, etc... I have a few casting projects in the queue as well. Never really had a direction, still basically interested in the same stuff!
Everything here was done with excellence the design and craftsmanship is absolutely top notch. The videography was also great with thoughtful narration. Thank you.
@@Grunblau Very excited for the full size project! With your amazing execution of your very well planned miniature I'm sire your scaled up version will be a museum quality masterpiece of the technique!
Watched during a short work break, and during a meeting afterwards, it occurred to me that your video is proof that quality > quantity. As someone else said, thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to document your efforts here, and to share your techniques. You didn't have to do that, but you did, and the world truly is better off for it. Whatever the signal:noise ratio of youtube was, it's a little better now. Thank you very much.
I can not believe what I just saw... I normally play TH-cam videos in the background while working on my laptop, and when comments catch my attention, I stop the work and re-watch. Not this video. I stopped my work altogether and watched the whole video. I was (am) so impressed. I shall search your videos with the hope of finding a video of the real thing being built!
So glad to see you back on TH-cam. I had unsubscribed as I thought this channel was dead, and that made me sad. Today, you popped up in my suggestions. Happy day!
What a pleasure to see another video of yours. I just want to build the model. I look forward to seeing the full size build. As always thank you for sharing with us.
When we see someone execute something with great skill, they have the peculiarity of making us believe that it could be simple until we see the whole process in detail, then we come to the conclusion that only gifted people have achieved it. You have the gift of perfection and extreme skill.
@@brenttate9299 I looked all over that website and cannot find the plans for this kit. Could you provide the link to the page on that site that has them?
I am finishing up the drawings for the kit now so they are not available yet... seems like Brent may have been spamming his own website as my plans are not available through his link. Hope this helps!
Yeah. He wasn’t wrong, I should have had plans, etc... ready to go before I posted the video. He posted his link awhile ago and I left it until he started making people believe that my plans were available there. Seemed kinda salty when I deleted his post, lol...
4 years on and an Australian sits on a rainy morning transfixed by this build. Great video! Now I need to find out if you made a full size and how it turned out.
Thank you! TH-cam basically broke out in a canoe and kayak rash right after I finished this model. With a new mail order kayak being built every week, I figured that mine would surely get lost in the shuffle. Also, I was hoping that the Koi Pond series would help me to afford the materials, resin, etc… but that was when the YT algorithm changed and so did my ability to budget for projects like $800+ of kayak materials. I have the mahogany plywood and the full scale buck ready and I have filmed the start (cutting and assembling the buck), but I will have to keep doing other less interesting things off camera to pay the bills and hopefully buy some epoxy and fiberglass at some point. I also immediately built another one of these models for a friend. Turned out even better than the one in the video! So I have considered making a run of kits to pay for the full scale build.
No way. Pinch me or Slap me. Out of nowhere Brian Oltrogge drops a video. Hopefully we'll get some more videos. Please make videos for youtube again. Please comeback. The maker community needs you.
Thanks! I deleted like 8 add breaks out of the middle! TH-cam is going bonkers with those things. I have seen 1000’s of ads for Liberty Mutual. Their ad budget must be 2X the GDP of a small country!
You're back!!! Welcome back! Great timing, I just stumbled across your channel again in my subscriptions and was watching your old videos in the last couple weeks
I haven’t watched the video yet but I am just so glad to see another video from you Brian. It has been far too long and we’ve missed your quality content. Welcome back sir.
OMG! I absolutely love this design and idea! I would be really happy to buy this as a model kit just like the video, since some of us don't have access to laser cutting machines etc. Wow! Really truly impressed. Thank you for taking time to film, edit, and post this video.
Until I watched this I never quite got the appeal of making your own kayak but now I can completely see it! What a stunning model and I can't wait to see the full size version.
Wow! I really didn't expect this to happen, I'm really glad you are back at work. I haven't watched the video yet, I'll watch it tonight, your videos deserve a good beer and snacks
I don't know if its the kind of microphone or his post audio editing process but it lends a kind of 1970s-80s sound that one would find in a instructional video of that time. A very welcome change from the crystal clear audio of modern youtuber production
To be honest, I clicked on this just to see your method of construction which was instructive. I built a model Polynesian voyaging canoe (ocean-going) from a picture of one at a museum but the labor of milling the planks, shaping them and configuring the hull, keel (not much of one-rather vee-shaped), and the appropriate outrigger was killer. It came out fine (about 3 in. wide amidships, 3 in. in depth, and 32 in. from bow to stern. That said, I really learned some nice design tricks from you and I appreciate that. Best wishes from Kauai and stay healthy!
He’s back!!!!!! Just finished watching. Incredible! So worth the wait Brian! Your design / build skills are so impressive. Thanks for being such an inspiration to so many of us to put our minds and hands to work!
Very nice! I’m looking forward to the full size version.
Wow, thank you! That means a lot to me coming from such a respected designer/builder!

I generally unsubscribe from stations that don't output a new video for years.
I'm so glad I didn't unsub from this one.
Thanks Brian!

Excellent use of CAD. Cardboard Aided Design.

Good to see you again Brian 🙂 beautiful work 👍 hope to see you more often 😎
