I guess it's a matter of perspective. If you love to build things, this video is awesome. If you like to actually kayak, it's very, very sad...I don't think I could bring myself to ever use something I had that much time and effort invested in and I'll bet this kayak has been replaced by the next project/s and spends almost no time in the water. As for its builder, you Sir are a master craftsman.
I am so impressed by your build!! I ordered one of Nick's Kayak plans and you have inspired me to get started. Thanks for posting!! You are a true craftsman!!
Wow! What a great display of patience, dedication, knowledge, and skill. Great job sir. I hope you enjoy it out on the water for longer than it took you to build!
Very nice build there. It looked like you stalled out on your project a few times and forgot how many coats of poly and varnish you'd already put on it though lol. It must be hard to squeeze in time between the jobs of everyday life to attend a project like this but you completed it. Awesome Job. I'm inspired now.
Great time lapse mate. My brother & I built a cedar strip canoe 20 odd years ago using the same principals, but with woven cane seats. To this day it turns heads wether on the water or roof racks to n fro.
Great job, Rob! I built Nick's Night Heron High Deck last year. Took some pictures throughout, but watching your timelapse made me want to build another. Just don't know where I'd put it, or what I'd do with two. They are truly gorgeous kayaks. Again, a beautiful job.
As I appreciate the look and feel of wood I don't like hulls made from it. I'm planning to use the stitch and glue method with fiberglass panels. They would be made on 3/4" ply covered with Formica. The Formica would then be waxed. The panels layed up with no scarfing as in plywood. The deck would be strip planked.
This is so cool and great! Congratulations on completing this three-year project to build a kayak. And with the time-lapse photography, its like those old Disney films of flowers blooming. Your kayak has bloomed! Next stop: the nearest body of water to go paddling?
Will it really take 2.5 - 3 years to complete a kayak?!! I was under the assumption this was more like a six month project working nights and weekends.
+Joel It won't take that long. A lot depends on the details you put to it. Building the buck and cutting all those strips takes forever. Fitting and stapling all those strips takes forever. Glassing is quick, but sanding all that glass takes forever. Putting on several finish coats and sanding in between each takes forever. Putting that first scratch on it is quick and easy. Point is that it really depends on how quick you can work through so much labor. 2.5 years is a VERY casual build. You might also consider a kit.
+Matthew Murdock I know, right? We don't even get to see it finished and out in the sun. Last shot after 2.5 years...wrapping it in moving blankets. May still be wrapped up to this day...
@@aearnest What I needed and what I had were different. My basement shop was about 9 x 12. Had the boat build on wheels sticking out a pair of double doors into another basement room. I did a lot of climbing under back and forth. I would want a space approximately 20’ x. 8’ for the boat. Good luck!
Must weight a ton and looks unpracticall to me,since in hour/man dedication must be around 1.000.000 dollars at least, but who cares, true art allways is ,besides if I were an oil sheik,I will gladly pay that for having it in my garage among masserattis and stuff like that ;)
Interesting. 2.5 years working on it and then failed to get good pics/vid of the completed project or add video of the maiden voyage at the end... was that done on purpose? Is there another video I’m supposed to watch? Is it to encourage viewers to build their own to see the finished product? Or was it simply a rush to use it after working so long on it? I also hope you didn’t put off kayaking until the build was complete; I hope instead you had a plastic borrowed kayak or a previous, more basic build you were using on alternate weekends... while I love woodworking, it seems a crime to work so long on a project that is supposed to be used, not hung on a wall. I definitely love the craft behind artistic wooden craft, but that is all for naught if you spend literal years building something you should be using... and not as much time using it? IMHO And yes, a wood strip kayak is on my bucket list... and my list shrinks every year, unlike most people’s bucket lists...

Why would anyone dislike this video?
Awesome job. Building a kayak is definitely on my bucket list.
Thx for sharing!
Gorgeous boat Rob. Now I'm waiting for the next video... you doing a roll in it.
Beautiful Kayak, bullet proof with nice features!
I was glad to see that you changed your clothes after a couple of years.
Big respect for your patience and skill!
Wow! What a great display of patience, dedication, knowledge, and skill. Great job sir. I hope you enjoy it out on the water for longer than it took you to build!

Admirable work !! Beautiful your kayak !! A work of art !!
Damn very beautiful looking wood kayak and love the music with it. I think this guy drink to much coffee lol.
Now that was very cool.

Well done. Some dream about it, some do it. I salute you sir.
Beautiful piece of work.
awesome. every reason to be proud.
Wow what a wonderful piece! And with all this glass and resin it must be pretty durable!
Beautiful craft...
You are amazing. Incredible work! I hope to build one ... some day.
awesome video! Great work. your attention to detail is somewhat overwhelming, but the end result looked more than worth it.
That kayak is beautiful!
Tienes la paciencia de un santo, por el kayak y por el vídeo , felicidades !!!!!
incredible yes and I'd love to be able to do it myself...may-be a good look at the finished product would have been nice too!!
Beautiful kayak. I would love to see a series of 10-20 videos of how you did it.
There is no way I can do this in 13 minutes. Great Job!
So beautiful!! very nice!!!
2.5 years in such small space to build kayak, you are great, just after 45 sec I would kick everything around me, wife too, how was on water?
How many actual hours went into the build? Thanks
I wanted to see it on the water. Do you have photos you can share of the kayak in the water?
nice & nice work
Great effort - looks beautiful
Great job. Thanks for the vid.
fabulous
very impressive. great craft you made
Man more time spent into that that some houses
Built in 2.5 years. Sinkable in a day.
very very cool!
Really, really cool build!
Awww... :( I was hoping to see some nice shots or video of the finished kayak. Good job though! :)
Walter White on product, preparing for a river getaway ;}
Awsome work!
great job well done
took u 2.5 years to build a kayak?
You could count the shirt changes to estimate the number of days
muy bien pelado , sos un ARTISTA

The Formica would then be waxed. The panels layed up with no scarfing as in plywood. The deck would be strip planked.
That would weigh a ton... plus, it' be hard to get the plywood to form the curves. Are you sure you thought this through?
Thank you for the video that was fun to watch ......
congratulations great job.

wow...nice work
I own a Great AUK kayak wood strip 17ft 24in . This work is brilliant how do you put a price tag on this!! Truly work of ART.
¡Te felicito! Un trabajo increíble.
...and what takes about 2.5 seconds is getting that first scratch. Congratulations, your kayak is now complete...
I'm about to build my first one. I'm guessing that was your second one you built?😉
what did it cost to make?
Amazing!!!
Thanks for the great video. I really like the music. Who is it, I've got to get my hands on that first song...
Who did your soundtrack ? Very nice.

nice work done :)
finished and posted the making 5yrs ago pitty it was not seen on the water :(
Nice looking build. Thanks for sharing.
How she paddle?
What, no footage on the water!??!
+Matthew Murdock I know, right? We don't even get to see it finished and out in the sun. Last shot after 2.5 years...wrapping it in moving blankets. May still be wrapped up to this day...
+Matthew Murdock ...just wondering how you watched the video?
That's 5222 hrs labor, if he worked on the kayak 5 days/8 hrs per week for 2.5 years.
Cost at $20/hr =$104,400 for labor.
good job, what thickness wood you use for hull~
very impressive work! whats the song from the beginning?
Baka - Outback
Federico Lopez Bervejillo nice! Thank you!
lol i was expecting it to not fit out the door when he finished it.
If u were working as fast as the timelapse it would have only taken 13 minutes to complete :)
where can i get the design
how long were the original wood boards that you cut jnto strips? if the kayak is a 17’, do you find 18’ long boards?
Strips were 10’. Had to create butt joints, but I think I cut them on the bias for more protection though of course everything was glassed.
@@robertpearlman1778 thank you so much. if the kayak is 17”. how much room did you need in your workshop ?
@@aearnest What I needed and what I had were different. My basement shop was about 9 x 12. Had the boat build on wheels sticking out a pair of double doors into another basement room. I did a lot of climbing under back and forth. I would want a space approximately 20’ x. 8’ for the boat. Good luck!
@@robertpearlman1778 thank you so much
It didn't float, that's why there's no footage on the water...it looks really nice tho
And I get impatient waiting overnight for a coat of varnish to dry.
5+ :)
you are master beautiful
