I always so enjoy watching your videos. In nearly 50 years of avid kayaking, this is quite probably the most elegant kayak I have ever seen. Your craftsmanship, attention to details, and exquisite rigging, is among the very best on our planet!
Man, you gotta to be so precise at every single step! I don't think I could manage it. The slightest mistake will eventually compound and throw the whole thing off. And you wouldn't even know it until you are finished.
Generally, there are a lot of chances to double check your work before you are finished. While you do need to pay attention, it is just one-step-at-a-time until it's done.
Sharp tools are the key to easy and enjoyable woodworking. Learning to sharpen your tools is a great investment in time and will make everything after that better.
Hey Nick, I can’t see it in any of the other comments so I just had to congratulate you on, besides your obvious craftsmanship, how it particularly tickled me how you took the time to edit the video and soundtrack to it so that the staples fired and the tape ripped to the beat of the lovely music you added - Nice touch. Lovely stuff 😉🙌
I love watching this creative endeavor. I have experimented with cutting strips, routing the cove and bead and building small test glue ups. I am still intimidated by the sheer length of time required and the risk of making some catastrophic error that would ruin all that work! I guess if you are not ready to climb mount everest then don't climb mount everest. I will get there eventually! still trying to find long lengths of cedar to avoid having to join smaller lengths. Perhaps you address that in one or more of your vids!
The way to climb Mt Everest is to start at sea level and take a step up the beach, then take another step. The odds of catastrophic failure are minimal. The chances of making a mistake that requires you to think and do some problem solving are high. It is actually this kind of mistake that makes the project fun and worthwhile because that is where you really start to learn.
What a beauty.......what a beauty...........good on you.......Anything else I would say, just wouldn't be enough to describe all my thoughts.........may Good bless you
Beautiful work, Nick. Did you use 2 layers of 4 oz glass on the outside hull and deck and one layer inside? I'm thinking that's a better move than a single layer of 6 oz.
Thank you for creating this beautiful and informative video. Can you tell us about the plane you're using and it's purpose at 4:06 minutes in the video ?
That is a Stanley #79 Side Rabbet Plane. I am adjusting the bevel of the strips at the chine to make a tight joint where the Cover & Bead strip won't make the turn.
Where can I get info on the tool you were using at 22:17 (long board?)? I could use that on my current (and first) kayak build, especially with the vacuum attached.
I really wanted to see how you cut the deck off the hull and how you took the form out but that got skipped over. Do you have any other video of that process ?
@@jonlaughton7689 Correct. While all the other strips are glued together, I just don't glue between the first strip on the deck and the first on the hull. So, once the staples are pulled the deck or hull can just be lifted off. Amazing boring isn't it?
I believe you just need to go to his website, which is listed in the bottom right throughout the video. I'm not sure if you would need a VPN with current world affairs though.
Nick is an artist of highest level with so much sense for aesthetics, functionality, and beauty. He contributes to the beauty on our planet earth.
Great job with the staple gun percussion!
I'm still wondering how much influence ocd had in that lmao
Simply beautiful
Thank you

Nick, I always wondered how you solved some of the building problems. That was fun to watch.

Noticed your foster parent shirt. Thanks for stepping up! I hope it was rewarding for you!
This is really a work of art!
Crazy amount of work. Beautiful
I'm in awe of how sharp the hand plane is!

Excellent video, congratulations
Loved the silent video!
Gr8 craftsmanship!!!
Amazing skill and craftsmanship!
I’ve always wanted to build one of these. I used to own your book and I don’t even kayak :) they just look so lovely and fun to build.
I dream to own one...I am a kayaker...I will take it over....😂😂😂
piece of art!
Looks great 👍
Holy cow... that is gorgeous! Thank you very much, very inspiring.

@@NickSchade Thank you for the thoughtful reply and encouragement. I will get there!
Possibly the most comely looking craft ever invented.
As always great content
What a beauty.......what a beauty...........good on you.......Anything else I would say, just wouldn't be enough to describe all my thoughts.........may Good bless you
Our drummer just bought a staple gun to replace his snare!
As any good drummer should
Nice timing with the music!
Спасибо.
Beautiful Boat
Great video Nick inspiring to get back and finish my petrel i started
João Ramos (Petrel Play SG sending to Brazil)
Çok güzel oldu tebrikler ...elinize sağlık
Can someone also buy a finished, complete kayak from you and have it shipped also internationally?
Beautifull

Bravissimo!!!

Lindo kayak.
Nice work. Paddles one piece paddle or two separate oars? Outboard mount maybe(counterweighted)?
Perish the thought! If you want an outboard, get an old aluminum rowboat.
Let's play some music, I got my stapler haha nice touch
Perhaps I missed this in the other comments, but how long did this take, start to finish (months, weeks, year?)
Do you have a list of the hand planes
how long on average does it take to build?
hello nick, a question how do you do so i don't know i don't have the staple holes, thanks
I discuss building without staples on my microBootlegger Build. That starts with this video: th-cam.com/video/XX3MLuZgW6I/w-d-xo.html
Price?
Hola soy de la patagonia en el pais chile.. sudamerica Me interesa montar un astillero de kayak con maderas nativas.
Les interesa una franchise?
Hallo Nick, beautiful work! I have wooden K1 kayak from 70'. How would you recommend to store the kayak?... it's too long for my garage!
Perhaps two sawhorses and a tarp? The best solution would be climate controlled storage
I really wanted to see how you cut the deck off the hull and how you took the form out but that got skipped over. Do you have any other video of that process ?
It is really so anticlimactic that you will wonder why you wanted to see it: th-cam.com/video/6UxNdg2knwA/w-d-xo.html
You’re right Nick. I thought the deck would need to be cut to remove it but I take it that was never actually glued to the hull ?
@@jonlaughton7689 Correct. While all the other strips are glued together, I just don't glue between the first strip on the deck and the first on the hull. So, once the staples are pulled the deck or hull can just be lifted off.
Amazing boring isn't it?
@@NickSchade not to a beginner
Nick. I'm trying to contact you about a order. Please answer me. Thks!
Exellend. :-)
Hello! Great job!! I would like to purchase drawings of this boat in electronic form for cutting on a CNC machine.. How do I do this? I'm from Russia

Me encanto!! Hablas español?
Ich denke er nicht.
Отпад!
Waste?
Love his Plans and his work but he’s still a cedar Piercer. Lol
Cedar piercer?
Great video again, but again your music has absolutely shocking......
I don't know if "shocking" is a good thing, but I'm glad you liked the video.
The strips should be leather
Hey Nick,
What mask are you wearing?
I cannot find anything here in Spain that fits my face with my glasses on...
