    Took me forever to realize that the holes with the little wooden pins are drilled in so the canoe is the same thickness all around, when you hit a pin you've carved far enough

The scarf slicks, scorps, and adzes used are perfectly suited for the purpose here. And the tools are as beautiful as the finished canoe.

  • @Tipi_Dan
    @Tipi_Dan 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This is the third dugout canoe build I have watched on TH-cam. Each employed widely divergent techniques of construction, producing unique results. Two were built in North America: one recommended the canoe be stored underwater when not in use to prevent checking (which seemed odd): but no resin finish was applied. The finished product here is far and away the most beautiful... and the lightest.

      2.) No one cares if you do not like Cody's videos since you all obviously have terrible taste in excellent youtube content anyway.
      3.) The whole reason people watch Wranglerstar is because he imparts his wisdom, experience, and daily life very well through TALKING!!
      4.) This video is great except for the fact that if they had just bough a manufactured canoe it would last longer with less maintenance and would have cost much much less time, effort, and money!!

      I hope you didn't get picked on too much growing up, or treated real bad by a family member,......or even something worse,............to take the time to write someone, negatively the way you just did, makes me think that you had it pretty ruff growing up,.........I'm sorry you had a hard time, but hiding behind a fake name and profile, trying to get people into an Internet argument, is pretty sad to say the least.

    I'd never complain about an experience as beautiful as this.
    But a thought, as a fellow small boat builder, though far far from as expert as them in the construction techniques or really in boats compared to some. I do want to share that the instability of the boat on the water has much to do with a too round hull. The paddling experience would be greatly improved by an increased V or U shape & a hard chine for edge stability.
    Your Dugout looks to track well, which really, I'm impressed with a likely first attempt with a novel design!
    Beautiful work, I've watched many times!

    • @ianallen738
      @ianallen738 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The master woodworker is an experienced boat builder, what makes you think it is his first attempt? And novel design hardly comes from using "traditional tools and methods" to create "a traditional dugout canoe". A V shape makes a canoe harder to pull over land and shallows, a U shape makes it more susceptible to cracking. The amount of work that is required to make this boat is a significant investment, perhaps the Latvian men learned over centuries to avoid the risk of losing everything, at the cost of having to better train their seamanship.

      Listen, being a real man isn't about how often you're outdoors, whether or not you're a rustic craftsman, or how skilled you are at making things. What makes you a real man is doing what needs to be done because they have to and because there are people relying on you to get them done. It's having character and being willing to sacrifice for those dear to you.
      Being a "real man" isn't a skill set or occupation.
