A catamaran? Two hulls would be familiar territory, but designing it so the bridge is still structurally sound and doesn’t compromise the hulls would be a neat project?
sounds like you need to brush up on our TH-cam videos and all the boaters using TotalBoat. For years now! More boaters than woodworkers are using TotalBoat. And we love them all!
This is the first time I’ve seen a TH-cam short and actually gone on to watch the video. Love your art and your style of content making! I’m glad I clicked through.
When I discovered your channel about a year ago, I showed the videos of the flooring and the mini pallets to my wife and said, “it’s only a matter of time before this guy makes something like a boat or a teardrop trailer out of pallets or reclaimed wood.” No joke. And wow did you deliver. Freakin’ awesome, man. Thanks again for the knowledge share.
Ok, look, I’m not a boat person, a woodworking person, or really have much of anything in common here as I’m just a disabled person stuck in bed for the last decade. But everything about this build is phenomenal. From your videography, editing, music choices, narration, to your craftsmanship, wood choices, layout of the decking, to the many dozens of hours of sanding, measuring, cutting, gluing, epoxying, fiberglassing, to your exceptional choice in the contrasting red paint and refinishing the varnish to the polished exterior and matte interior- the is the perfect TH-cam video. Thoroughly entertaining, hilarious, relatable for anyone who’s ever taught themselves any type of skill or trade. All the choices you made only made the build better but your personality really shines through the way you chose how to film all your scenes. Particularly the humor was really well done. I’m surprised this doesn’t have millions of views with the quality alone. Exceptional work in all regards and provided me a few hours of pure entertainment. I hope you enjoy your new kayak to the fullest, I’ve always appreciated wood boats and their striking beauty when juxtaposed against the scenic backdrop of the ocean or lake. I hope it’s exactly as you dreamed and brings years of enjoyment.
Watching how this boat is made brings incredibly positive emotions, which are exactly inversely proportional to the emotions I would experience trying to build it myself. Wow, man, what a project.
What you did here was create a work of art - one that will live in your family for the rest of time. I sit here, amazed at your determination and meticulous approach. I'm not a boat builder, was formerly a model builder, so I know only a smidgen of the effort you have gone through. Good work, and God Bless.
This is such an outrageously impressive build. 40 minute video went by like nothing. Nice work. Haul that thing over to the western side of the state for some fresh water kayaking!
Absolutely Awesome - love your attention to detail, the rigor in your processes and absolute drive making everything PERFECT. Congratulations on your amazing kayak and thank you for sharing - loved every second of your video. Your humor resonates with ME!!!
It has been my dream for a long time to build something like this. Thank you so much for your detailed and entertaining video! One of these kits will probably arrive at my shop before long.
This reminds me of the project I dreamed up decades ago. I wanted to build a cedar strip style cap for my pickup. I never had the skill set or the ambition to think of trying to do it, but this made me daydream again.
This video is just an unintentional 40min Hillview ad 😂. There were at least a couple weeks there were my life was just the bevel gauge, block plane, and basically nothing else.
I would like to tell you that I had a similar dream to build one of these. But I was absolutely amazed at you videography, your patience, your amazing craftsmanship skills and almost the most clamps I have ever seen in one shop. Fantastic project and you are a true craftsman that I will remember for years to come.
You seriously opt for thee most mind-numbing, tedious tasks to produce beautiful, amazing work. You produce impeccable pieces, but I won't be following in your footsteps anytime soon lol. Great stuff!
Love finding makers on TH-cam that actually talk about what they’re doing! Also, can’t believe I’m seeing someone use total boat to actually make a boat :P
Beautiful, and please understand that I say this lovingly, trash-yack! I've been planning on building a strip plank canoe and you've inspired me to use pallets for my strips.
What a beautiful boat. I love the final look with all the different woods. It's not something I would tackle myself. It was super satisfying watching you do it. My favorite parts are your humorous narration and your perfectly symmetrical clamp placement. Not to mention the clamp collection itself. Great video.
Thanks for the inspiration to finally start restoring my 1947 wooden lightning. I'm 10 hours into just stripping paint from the hull, finally starting to understand your self-inflicted perfection-chasing pain.
Truly the loveliest watercraft made from garbage. Brilliant execution, but that design from CLC is beautiful. All those curves in a sweet flowing shape. Always good to see a project from your shop. Thanks for sharing!
WOW, Paul! That turned out GREAT! It was so much work that it had to be a labor of love. I'm not a boat person so I won't even be attempting to build one but I can admire yours and enjoy the process vicariously through your video. Bill
CLC really has some amazing kayaks, canoes and boats, my first job was as an apprentice in the back helping packing all the screws, bolts, fiberglass, Etc. for the kits( 2012-2013)
That was a fun watch! I got super into watching kayak building videos after I had a surgery and couldn't sit or lay on my back for a couple of weeks. I thought all about where I'd get the lumber from, living in NYC - I could recycle the ribs from old ikea beds for example. Then a year or so later we went on vacation in Maine and went kayaking. Of course I got seasick immediately bc that's what I do. Still fun to think about building a boat, just not so much paddling in one.
Looks great! The 2 Decade Dream is resonant. I think you could make nice wooden eyelets for the tie down parts and get rid of those webbing eyelets. Great job, it looks really cool in the water. I loved the detail; it's so simple to see yet difficult to effect.
Amazing kayak and even more amazing attention to detail which I attritbute to a severe case of OCD, perfectionism , and a little insanity! haha! You gained a new subscriber!
Dude! Loved this build and loved the long form jackman content! Amazing work as always 😁 we needed more sanding montages to get a better feel of how much sanding went into this 😂
Hey, first time I've seen your vids. Just wanted to compliment your editing. A lot of varied and fun edits (I particularly like you working on both half's of the boat at the same time earlier on). I feel like a lot of other creators in the space neglect the edit. Great job 👍
That exotic timber you have is Western Australian Jarrah. It's a phenomenal timber, naturally pest resistant, water resistant and super dense. Locally a tonne of people use it for firewood but it's used for pallets, houses, jetties and heaps of houses including mine, which have all Jarrah roof timbers. I like picking out the nice bits from the woodpile for some turning 👌🏻 great project mate
Wow dude, that came out absolutely amazing. You have a level of patience and perseverance that is just mind boggling. I'm more of the "it's good enough for government work" persuasion. Hope MakerCamp was a blast!
At 38.20 I realised what I had been fearing! I havent watched yet from this point.... let me guess? You put an enormous scratch in it the hull getting in/out of the thing....? Great vid great music... I'm only jealous 😁
Cool boat, cool dude. Had fun watching this. Can‘t repeat, otherwise i glue myself to a bunch of wooden pieces, to the floor and than the whole house have to swim.
What boat should I build next?!
Pallet wood paddle to go with the pallet wood canoe
check out sunfish sailboats. Please build one so I can copy your work!
I agree to a paddle.
A catamaran? Two hulls would be familiar territory, but designing it so the bridge is still structurally sound and doesn’t compromise the hulls would be a neat project?
An oar. That beautiful boat deserves a beautiful oar.
Someone at the total boat marketing department is in tears for watching a youtuber using their resin for the intended purpose for once.
What's the brown stuff?
sounds like you need to brush up on our TH-cam videos and all the boaters using TotalBoat. For years now! More boaters than woodworkers are using TotalBoat. And we love them all!
@@sounduser epoxy mixed with saw dust is my guess. To fill cracks
@@sounduser 11:18
🤣 soooo true bro
Really looking forward to a video where someone pulls apart a coffee table/kayak/anything and builds a pallet.
haha, you might enjoy Bourbonmoth's video then. where he builds the most expensive pallet.

From 1 April a couple of years ago: th-cam.com/video/4vy4-WK5y-4/w-d-xo.html
You always get a laugh out of me, but 16:41 caught me off guard
Ich habe so hart gelacht! Das Gefühl dabei kenne ich aber auch gut von der Arbeit.. 🤣🥰
I was expecting it 😅
That sent me
Perfect
I came to the comments specifically to see who else caught that. Definitely lol.
This is the first time I’ve seen a TH-cam short and actually gone on to watch the video. Love your art and your style of content making! I’m glad I clicked through.
Me too
The video doesn’t do the finished product any justice. This boat is incredible! Nicely done Paul! Congrats on bringing a dream to reality
How does this man not a million subs? The best content, editing, and humor out there. Please share this with your friends! Thanks for the content.
From your mouth, to TH-cam's ears, my friend 😂
I agree, but maybe the algorithm is working, I'm not even from the USA and I ended up finding this hidden wood working channel gem
Algorithm is working my friend. I am one of the new followers ❤
He fits a whiskey plank, he fits a vodka plank, he fits a lager plank, he fits a cider plank...
He sings a song that reminds him of the good times.
He fits the planks that remind him of the betta times 😂❤
Ooooooh Danny boy, Danny boy, Danny boooooooy
He sands it down,
Then he sands it back down again
When I discovered your channel about a year ago, I showed the videos of the flooring and the mini pallets to my wife and said, “it’s only a matter of time before this guy makes something like a boat or a teardrop trailer out of pallets or reclaimed wood.” No joke.

It was… his destiny.
Whiffleplank and Fartbark are some of my favorite boat building woods.
As a master boatbuilder, they're the only material I fully trust for my vessels
@@JackmanWorks He says dryly and wryly.
The good news is they aren’t used in construction, so the price has been pretty stable post pandemic.
This could have easily been broken into three separate videos and we would have loved every minute. You make beautiful art, Paul.
As always, very impressive. While you're figuring out which boat to build next, perhaps make a pallet-wood paddle for this one?
Definitely!! I feel embarrassed paddling this around with a cheap aluminum paddle haha
In😂credible! If only I wasn't so old....

Just incredible. An amazing amount of work went into this, not just the woodworking but the filming and editing. You did a phenomenal job, Paul.

Always good to see you take on quick easy projects that you can whip together in an afternoon between lunch and dinner.
Epic as ever!
22:04 He grew a third hand, that's dedication. Fantastic video.🙏
Absolutely Awesome - love your attention to detail, the rigor in your processes and absolute drive making everything PERFECT. Congratulations on your amazing kayak and thank you for sharing - loved every second of your video. Your humor resonates with ME!!!
It has been my dream for a long time to build something like this. Thank you so much for your detailed and entertaining video! One of these kits will probably arrive at my shop before long.
Wow. A great story. As an irregular paddler and a wannabe woodworker, I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you.
This reminds me of the project I dreamed up decades ago. I wanted to build a cedar strip style cap for my pickup. I never had the skill set or the ambition to think of trying to do it, but this made me daydream again.
Go on, give it a go.
I gave up that truck in 1991. A cap just doesn't work with a Kia Soul.
With all those action shots of the block plane I think I need to make you a tool with a Gnarlythorn Fartbark inlay as payment for the advertising!!
This video is just an unintentional 40min Hillview ad 😂. There were at least a couple weeks there were my life was just the bevel gauge, block plane, and basically nothing else.

That is a thing of beauty sir. I hope it stays in your family for many generations.
Craftsman, story teller and great video editor. Guy does it all.
Beautiful, and please understand that I say this lovingly, trash-yack! I've been planning on building a strip plank canoe and you've inspired me to use pallets for my strips.
This is probably the best boat build video i've seen. Excellent build buddy.

One of THE BEST video's I have seen in a long time! Excellent work!
Great job on the Barker’s Beauties/Vanna White impression! Sir, that is a gorgeous, well crafted kayak!
Just amazing - have always loved your stuff but this one may have outdone them all. A project for sure, but absolutely beautiful!
You did it again Jackman! An interesting video with fun, creative editing! Thanks again for the quality edutainment!
All the sanding gets your shoulders ready for rowing. Nice work.
A joy to watch. Great build.
Responses to: "Your boat looks like trash"
Most people: [resentment]
Paul Jackman: "Thanks! I made it myself!"
In all seriousness, beautiful work.
seeing passionate pros do pro work is exactly what makes TH-cam better than TV. I learn while entertaining myself. it’s a nice trick. nice work
Great video Paul. The way you film and narrate, it makes it so much more approachable.
Buddy that looks amazing!! i’m glad you decided to workout the finish one more time because honestly that kayak looks perfect! My salute to you 🫡🫡
Truly the loveliest watercraft made from garbage. Brilliant execution, but that design from CLC is beautiful. All those curves in a sweet flowing shape. Always good to see a project from your shop. Thanks for sharing!
I can confidently say that this is the the clear winner of best pallet wood boat that I've ever seen
WOW, Paul! That turned out GREAT! It was so much work that it had to be a labor of love. I'm not a boat person so I won't even be attempting to build one but I can admire yours and enjoy the process vicariously through your video.
Bill
What a great project, what a beautiful result. so many smart solutions in this pocess. Love it!
CLC really has some amazing kayaks, canoes and boats, my first job was as an apprentice in the back helping packing all the screws, bolts, fiberglass, Etc. for the kits( 2012-2013)
That was a fun watch! I got super into watching kayak building videos after I had a surgery and couldn't sit or lay on my back for a couple of weeks.

Then a year or so later we went on vacation in Maine and went kayaking. Of course I got seasick immediately bc that's what I do. Still fun to think about building a boat, just not so much paddling in one.
Thanks so much for sharing this and all the encouragement! It really was inspirational to watch.
Cor, that's a thing of absolute beauty.
I was kind of going eeee every time you had to drill a hole in it, after such hard work.
Nice work . I hope you’re out paddling enjoying your kayak and not obsessing about the finish. I totally relate to obsessive finishing to perfection
Wow! Just, wow. That was fun and inspiring to watch. Thank you!
This perfectly answers the question, "is it ever possible to have too many clamps?"
Absolutely stunning work. And your personality and filming style is excellent.
This is amazing work!!!!! You kick ass!!!!!!!! Impeccable shop and use of it...
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
Awesome kayak, Paul!
And again: your videography and editing: top notch!!!
Every now and again I get the urge to make a boat. Vids like this are great for satisfying the itch and reminding me to just buy one :)
Looks great! The 2 Decade Dream is resonant. I think you could make nice wooden eyelets for the tie down parts and get rid of those webbing eyelets. Great job, it looks really cool in the water. I loved the detail; it's so simple to see yet difficult to effect.
I personally think it’s gorgeous. I love the red hull. Kudos to you and your OCD. You both make a spectacular kayak.
Amazing kayak and even more amazing attention to detail which I attritbute to a severe case of OCD, perfectionism , and a little insanity! haha! You gained a new subscriber!
Time to make a pallet wood paddle to go with that beautiful floating pallet. Well done it looks spectacular 🎉🏆👍👍👍
This was all done very well. The video and the works with ship. Kudos to you.
Dude! Loved this build and loved the long form jackman content! Amazing work as always 😁 we needed more sanding montages to get a better feel of how much sanding went into this 😂
I am obsessed with that kayak man. I watched the shorts and I was like “where’s the video”😂
It is beautiful! I like your level of perfection and love your humour! Truly inspirational!
Super enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.
Beautiful work. I really admire your attention to detail and finishing!
I saw 4 or 5 shorts in about ten minutes and figured I may as well come watch the whole video. I don’t regret it
so glad i found your channel with this video! Such polished content! Love your style.
At a loss for words… just in awe.
Not sure how you can get more insane… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So many hours building and finishing.. stunning result 😮
That is beautiful! Hope you enjoy it for years to come!
I cant believe you did this entire project and made zero mistakes??!?! 😮
The explanation for the Deck colors was Perfect
What have you done! Now I want to build my own boat😂 Absolutely incredible build!
Wow! What a great outcome. I was going to suggest adding some foam inside of it but then I remember...it's wood. haha. Great job! Thanks for sharing.
Hey, first time I've seen your vids. Just wanted to compliment your editing. A lot of varied and fun edits (I particularly like you working on both half's of the boat at the same time earlier on). I feel like a lot of other creators in the space neglect the edit. Great job 👍

Fantastic video!!! You are correct when you say there is no excuse NOT to build a boat!!!!
Great build. Always great to watch your videos. Thank you.
Beautiful build! I really enjoyed this video.........Take care, Bluefin.
That kayak is a thing of beauty!!
Beautiful kayak. It looks perfect gliding through the water.
master piece ! greetings from Poland !
Wow dude, that came out absolutely amazing. You have a level of patience and perseverance that is just mind boggling. I'm more of the "it's good enough for government work" persuasion.
Hope MakerCamp was a blast!
Beautiful kayak and great video! First time viewer and new subscriber!
Beautiful work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻super cool to see it in person
Thanks Gib! Glad you were able to see it
That looks bloody awesome the way it turned out . Absolutely brilliant 👏 job lad . Guisborough UK 🇬🇧
Thank you so much 😀
Nice demonstration of procedure and technique.
At 38.20 I realised what I had been fearing! I havent watched yet from this point.... let me guess? You put an enormous scratch in it the hull getting in/out of the thing....? Great vid great music... I'm only jealous 😁
Outstanding! Are you planning on making a paddle to match the top of the kayak?
You'd better believe it! Pallet wood paddle is definitely on my to-do list now
This man is single handedly responsible for the great clamp shortage of 2024. Not only in his state but the surrounding states as well.
And he still doesn't have enough.
Paul awesome build....the only thing you are missing is a Kayak paddle made from pallets!
She’s a beaut Clark. That’s the nicest trash I’ve ever seen. Congratulations on completing a life loony project dream.
Simply amazing craftsmanship! Awesome!
Cool boat, cool dude. Had fun watching this. Can‘t repeat, otherwise i glue myself to a bunch of wooden pieces, to the floor and than the whole house have to swim.
Wow! Fantastic looking boat. Congratulations.
Thank you for showing your project
This is definitely on my bucket list of projects to make
