Building a Cedar-Strip Canoe in 30 Days!

@xylafoxlinAbout
I'm an engineer by degree with a passion for the arts and working with my hands; and a disdain for the way engineering is taught in schools. I'm a bit of a speedy jet with a broken compass, I'm always racing in the direction of the skill that's caught my interest... for now. My goal is to inspire others to get out to their local makerspace or their garage and get making things. Thanks for stopping by!

Video Description
I've been paddling the Adirondacks in cedar strip canoes with my aunt and uncle for as long as I can remember, so when my uncle offered to help me build my own canoe, I leapt at the opportunity. This was one of the most magical months of my life, getting to be up in Vermont learning from one of my favorite people. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed making it. For those wondering: it took 30 days to build the canoe, another month to get a good final varnish coat (quarantine started though, so we slowed down), then 3 months to edit the video. The final boat is 43 lbs and 14' long. Patreon (Longer More Technical Version): https://www.patreon.com/xylafoxlin πΆ ORDER A CANOE: http://www.ottercreeksmallcraft.com/ I built a 14' Lutra design.
