thank you for sharing.....everyone can use a change.....especially when it comes to the outdoors.....nature....especially on the coolest kayak in Canada!!!
Hello again from the land of Dracula, România! Hopefully will have a beer soon! A lot of work to accomplish building a kayak! Keep on going, goodluck !
haha yaman. love it here. wish it didn't snow sometimes, so that i could skateboard and work outside 100% of the time, but something about braving the elements and making it work too!
Great film, love the gags. Kayak gonna be rad! Extra hard project because of shoulder. Ouch. Take it from me, the older you get, the longer the recovery time. : ) Enjoy your youth! Mahalo for sharing! : )
I have built two Pygmy stitch and glue boats and have to say you did very well first time out. You will love the resulting light strong and fast boat. I paddle the Niagara River and these boats handle big fast water very well.
@@AndrewSzeto A tip for your next step: When you start tightening the wires to minimize the gap and shape the boat (the stitches do most of the shaping) do not tighten each wire completely until you have the shape and lines of the chines straight. Tighten them in pairs from the center outward to the bow and stern. "Safety wire pliers" evenly and perfectly twist wires with no blistered fingers.
@@AndrewSzeto I’m not posting anything now but maybe I should start. I’m about to start the fiberglass. I’ve been delaying it for a couple weeks now. It’s a scary step.
This is going to be cool! Looking forward to this project, as well as the cabin build and the streamliner-build, Andrew! If I may ask: What's with the arm brace, are you injured?
May I suggest one thing: audio between bgm and voice seems un-balanced. If you can increase voice audio, it would be perfect. If not too much, I'd also like more frequent video upload like once a week, too. How's your air stream reno going? Otherwise, I really like your channel.
James! Really appreciated this man. I will take your advise and up my voice. Always thought it was slightly soft. It's super freezing in Canada at the moment, so keeping work outdoors to a minimal for now haha. It will be back in action come the spring/summer!
wood is pricey nowadays and i literally talked to a bunch of wood suppliers and no one is selling 1/8" marine grade ply in canada. it's a monopoly i tell ya.
@@AndrewSzeto I totally understand. I bought a way overpriced cedar barrel sauna kit last year. Didn't have much of a choice because everything else was unavailable for 4 to 6 months.
@@bkbroiler8069 oooh i am curious how much that kit was haha. i think i am going to be building one in my backyard, but going with a wild whimsical design that probably doesn't make any sense haha

haha yaman. love it here. wish it didn't snow sometimes, so that i could skateboard and work outside 100% of the time, but something about braving the elements and making it work too!
Love what you do man. Get yourself some Collins spring clamps if you don't have any, they really help with more delicate glue-ups. Big up from BC.
ooooh thanks dave! good call!
So sick seeing this kayak!
ayeee alex! it's always great seeing you man! hope you're well! holler whenever! let's get on that desk of yours.
This is so dope! Great video, I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

cheers! just stitching for now, tons of time left to mess up.

I love this! Thanks for sharing. I am currently building a cedar strip canoe because of your canoe videos! Maybe this is next
no way! hahaha this seems fun and all the skills translate soo well! best of luck! are you posting videos? would love to see the progress

@@petealfano2967 fiberglassing the inside os the trickiest. make sure you have a pal to help you with air bubbles etc!
dude I just discovered your channel, I'm looking forwards to see the end product !
thanks a bunch man! will be a few months in the making, but should have some fun projects this year!
Love to see it!
ayeee love you my guy! skate/hang soon brah!
This is going to be cool! Looking forward to this project, as well as the cabin build and the streamliner-build, Andrew! If I may ask: What's with the arm brace, are you injured?
i am, i separated my shoulder 3 weeks ago. slowly recovering. thankfully it's not any worse, just a weak shoulder that I have to keep somewhat steady.
@@AndrewSzeto ouch! Hope it'll mend soon!
Yescool
any thoughts, let me know! stoked to get this going and get more content out!
Have you used bear mountain boats before?
not for a kayak but for a canoe. they're great!
I like your honest answers.
Building this with a shoulder brace is bad ass.
haha ya i separated my shoulder
Ugh...you have me looking at kayak kits now 😑Looking forward to seeing the end product!
bahahaha fun! i'll keep you posted on the process here for sure!
Que masilla usas en las uniones?
What if it doesn’t fit out the door after it’s together?
it will for suuure! hahaha (i hope 😂)
Wooo!

Why is that guy wearing a winter hat indoors?
My last canoe cost less than this kit. We'd be better off buying a book on how to do it from scratch.
