Thank you Nick, means a lot to hear it from you! And thank you for sharing your designs and knowledge with others 😊

Cześć Dziękuję Ci. Nadal mogę odwiązać linę i wejść do środka, kiedy tylko chcę, więc nie uważam, że są bezużyteczne. Kajak używany jest głównie na krótkie wypady, więc schowki te nie są mi specjalnie potrzebne. (To zostało przetłumaczone przy użyciu Tłumacza Google)

Thank you PD for your comment and nice words :) really apreciate it... Sealings gave me nightmares haha...it was done individually for each "face", I aplied a bead of marine adhesive on surface around the bolts and perimeter of kayak and then using a thick glass shelve (covered with food foil) as a weight to flatten it. Using glass was usefull to see what was going on beneath ;)

Just to do it all over again 😅

I believe so 😅 a long way to get to your level though👍

Thanks 👍 Original design didn't have one, and for this lake kayak I do not think it is needed (I do not have any other experience, so I do not know what I am talking about 😅)

@@tilenmoder Skeg/Rudder helps you when wetaher is choppy

I was thinking about magnets, but the hatches were a bit warped, so I needed something stronger. And I do not like the look of bungee on the outside (if that is what you meant)

​@@tilenmoder I was thinking of using it completely internally. Once attached it pulls the hatch down. To remove the hatch lift it up and unhook the bungee cord. the cord could be attached to bottom of the hull and stretched up to the cover or strung sideways a few inches below the opening and hooked on that way too. Either way it hooks on underneath the hatch. In fact, with the bottom of the hull mount you don't really have to unhook the hatch, simply lift it and slide it sideways out of the way, (depending on how large the item is being inserted or removed). It's easy to think of these things when you see the completed item. kind of like watching someone play solitaire over their shoulder. 😀

I bet he is a cool dude :)

I do not think so, mostly just waited...but if you have and end goal you will get there sooner or later. Good luck and do not give up ... (it is easier the second time around :) )

​@@tilenmoderso you like waited just 2 years or like a couple of months?. Sorry if im asking to much im just really curious because ive had my hair for about a year

I added a link to description of similar build by David Large, from which I took some inspiration, but other than that I do not have any tutorial, since I mostly just did it by trial and error (and lots of thinking) ...

Thank you 😊

Hi there :) good question... 1. Instead of stiching with wire, I used a lot of masking tape (it worked for me) and later ca glue holds everything together 2. I remember that my "seam paste" (epoxy + fibers), was too runny at first, it has to be thic 3. I was not careful and ended up with a lot of extra epoxy gatherring at the bottom on the inside of kayak when wetting fiberglas (waste of epoxy and extra weight) 4. building in three pieces is I belive a lot harder and time consuming (you have to think about a lot of details) 5. when fiberglasing lids (back and front opening covers) be careful of warping, I ended up with a lot of warp and had to reaply fiberglas to the back lid (not a fun thing to do, when you dont want to mess up wood pattern...) 6. I was runing low on epoxy (tight budget), so I did not have enough to smooth ends of all three pieces (where pieces met together). Due to overlaping of fiberglass on the ends (but joints) the previous smooth wooden surface that met nicely, was now uneven. You can add extra epoxy and then smoth/even it out. I would probably ended up doing sealent strip anyway (which was a process in its own...) 7. sealent strip (that brown stuff you can see at 1:47) was applied and then squished with a glass panel (covered with food wraping foil (because my stuff got stuck on glass...dont ask how I know that :) ) in order to get everything flat 8. I am not proud with the seat (I recycled some old plastic garden chair, cut most of back rest and painted it), I would probably change that. I tried to get some foam that usually is used for seat carving, but it was hard to get and really expensive... 9. I am missing sealent on both lids (it is just wood on wood), because it was an after thought, but it is not an issue for calm water, which a three piece kayak will always be... There are probably more things, but this is all I could think of right now :)

Não se preocupe, ele já cresceu de novo :)

​​@@tilenmoder é que eu estou deixando o cabelo crescer acho muito daora ele grande e você vai e corta um cabelo bonito e bem cuidado

@@woykaix5931 isso foi há um bom tempo :) e agora meu cabelo está ainda mais comprido. Não desista, você consegue :) (isso foi traduzido usando o Google)

Привет. В описании есть ссылки на оригинальный каяк. К сожалению, у меня нет цифровых планов для моего модифицированного каяка. www.guillemot-kayaks.com/ www.instructables.com/Making-...

I used a type of industrial adhesive that stays a little bit flexible. I put a bead of glue around the perimeter of the surface and squeezed it with a pane of glass (kinda hard to explain) which was removed when glue was set

Haha, thanks. It was (and still is) not practical for me to have long hairs...but my last haircut was more than a year ago, so current hair lenght is geting close to what is in this video. Stick to it and you will be there with man bun in no time :) good luck

I totaly agree, it will be used only on calm water :)

naaah :P

Im sorry bro

Thank you :) I still have the guitar, it plays great and looks even better in person

Hi Bob, free plans and instructions for original one piece kayak are in description of this video. For this moded kayak there are not any real plans, everthing was made on the spot and by feel. Inspiration and some additional info was found here kayakplans.com/a-ganymede-in-three-sections/

it might be a little bit overengineered, but I did not know exactly what I was doing (also being my first "boat"). I would love to see some pictures of your build...there were not many to be found of this kind anyway

Muito obrigado :)

mostly a relief :) but I recomend the expirience (it was probably once in a lifetime for me)

I am still here :) I had to rewatch the video haha for round staff I think I used pine 28mm diameter, for three spikes I glued 4x 5mm thick birch plywood, and for ornaments I laminated 2x 3mm thick birch plywood between foam (cut to form with hotwire) to get the curvature. For this year I am planing to 3d print one...

@@tilenmoder oh awesome, I would love to see that when you get to it! I am doing this for my engineering project, is there any tips you could give me since I'm basing it off your design? And thank you for replying!

Hi there/here :) I was not going out alot with a beard like this, I dont know what I was thinking...my stache and goatee game is still weak haha
