It was a really great project! I worked on it here and there over a winter season, in the evenings and on work breaks. So, it took me around 5 months at that pace.☺ Thank you for commenting, sir!

How did you make that nice stain on the boat
@wolfvalleyforge2204
@wolfvalleyforge2204 2 ай бұрын
@KadeStringer2.0 Thank you for the comment! It's more or less the natural color of the wood. I did rub it down with a mixture of beeswax and pine resin and flamed it, so that it would soak in.

Hey there! These are actually hardened and tempered. I soften around the top of the wedge to avoid it from chipping, but the bit is hardened so that it will hold up to knocks and the occasional rock.😃

Really awesome project! Enjoyed the video. Dugouts are awesome, I think I read somewhere that natives and mountain men would submerge the dugouts underwater if they needed to be stirred for long period of time, like winter. Apparently they would last for years and years!

So, with these fancy axes and other very sharp tools to accomplish this. How did the Native American cultures accomplish this type of canoe with much less similar tools at their disposal? Not very impressive when you take this into account!
@wolfvalleyforge2204
@wolfvalleyforge2204 11 ай бұрын
@davechavezjr5399 The work of the Native Americans and all of the folks who blazed the trails and pioneered this country truly are amazing! I imagine they would have built many of their own tools. Very amazing, knowledged people out there! And while I did build these adze and round knife that I used for this canoe as well (part of the fun of the challenge!), I know they didn't have the same propane forge and power tools for sharpening that I do today. Thank you for watching!

Very cool! We're currently living in a 768 square foot home made in the 30's out of spare railroad lumber. There's a house down the hill, the original one on the ranch, made in the late 1800's of dimentional sawmill lumber. We've also done our cabin on our own property, not year round, which is only 199 square feet plus a decent sized loft. It makes families closer. 😉
