This one took a minute, hope y’all enjoy!! Itty bitty has a few loose ends we are tying up right now. Update comin soon.

[@josenunez2661]

Hey let’s get together brother I have a boating business 🙏

[@ngecreates3221]

Such a cool idea AYO!

The Itty-bitty and AYO and Davy Gravy is The dream team can't wait

You can rub clay/ mud on the inside and outside on the parts you dont want burnned

[@volrising6984]

Hey ayo been subbed for over a year now. Could I ask for one thing Santa? Could I get an hour long video for Christmas about anything or everything? You’re my favorite KZbinr and I know I’m asking a lot. Merry Christmas and happy new year man. From Citico, TN

[@jonnygranville281]

31:23 "we already don't upload often enough " The content is good. You put out quality stuff. The quantity will come. Youre building a business. It takes time. Youre killing it. Just keep working and youre gonna be huge. You have "it"

[@AYOFishing]

Thank you man👊

[@joshualonghi8313]

i could not sleeo i woke up not much to watch ...Watched latest episdoe of the Monarch TV show and then i see Ayo has a new Video and now I have somethin to watch to bide my time to fall back asleep! Your content became money to me tonight because I have panic attacks and an anxiety disorder from PTSD and I make bank and have to work tomorrow so to me your video will alow me to get that extra sleep and make bank tomorrow! So regardless of how many you put out if u put thought into them and you put effort and you bring your bros and they are good ideas! I will always love and support this channel! Good job great content to your camera guy as well! i know editing is a ......God Bless!

[@esserenterprises]

Although it may not be the most cost effective thing, you could always put a thick layer of clear epoxy on the inside or outside and sand it down a bit if you're worried about the cracks bringing water in. Should seal up any potential leak hazard.

[@theyard6958]

Awesome project! I built boats for almost 2 decades. First thought is to get a grinder with a chainsaw wheel thats used for log carving. second thought is that the cracks are from the wood drying and shrinking. It will do the opposite when its soaked. Most of the cracks will swell and seal. this is what we do with wooden ships. If they are on the hard for long they dry up and gaps open, and before we send it off we soak them for about 3 days to a week to make sure she seals up nicely. Thanks Ayo

[@jonokiller]

Would it be any benefit to soak the boat before carving more?

[@hammerT2997]

Those chainsaw discs are dangerous as hell. They've luckily got bowl style discs now that are a bit safer and with various grits to em. Those chainsaw discs are terrifying to me lol

[@jjwoodsculpture3313]

@@hammerT2997 Yep. Way safer options available.

[@wesleyedwards2764]

Came here to say that. I don't think they will be a problem at all.

[@imchris5000]

@@hammerT2997 just use the guard they are no more dangerous than any other cutoff wheel. those thin disc for steel will take your fingers just as fast

[@Fat_Princesss]

I feel like Ayo is the most entertaining dude to watch when doing sponsers, hes just so fun to watch no matter what it is lol

[@mikejurnak4253]

I think that's what he's best at. He is always cracking me up 😂😂😂

[@Superbobstar]

AYO gets comedy

[@daniellarson757]

The one he’s selling premade food out of his pockets like a dealer makes me cry 😅😅. Especially he says “you got a family?”

[@kzum1]

This and the Itty bitty are my favorite series you've got going. Keep it up, man. I've dreamed of owning a boat with my dad since I was young. After he passed, it didn't seem possible. Your channel makes it look more attainable than ever.

[@neonx8419]

huh

[@a.perkins89]

Who else hits thumbs up before the video even starts? 😊

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

Don’t worry about all the cracks, just buy a bunch of uv resin and pour it over the finished boat, leave it in the sun for a few days rotating it, so the resin cures and it’ll hold it together and make it waterproof too 😉👊🍻

[@SomeKindofWizard]

Man that satisfaction of watching chunks of wood come away.

[@jaketschida7016]

AYO's energy and attitude is the most entertaining thing to watch on KZbin! You, Norm, and Davy are awesome!

[@nwcavins]

Don't forget Smalls!

[@pamelaklemp5615]

AYO you are an amazing 👏 genius of a KZbin Creator 👏! I'm 100 percent confident that the end result will be equally as awesome. I must admit that I was half expecting you to pull out a Cast Iron Skillet and do a Catch N Cook Fry-up on that log fire 🔥 😄😂😉 !! Can't wait to see both the "ITTY-BITTY" and the (now in process) "ITTY-ITTY-BITTY" 👍

[@JimDog794]

Used to watch a dude on PBS make primitive things like that with just hand tools. He struggled a lot too and the outcome wasn't always good. And if he messed up he always showed that too. Good luck the rest of the way.

[@Sheksare]

Anybody seen a "heart" at 15:40? Like a mans video he deserved it thats for sure. Keep up with good work brother.

[@kylebennett2927]

I saw the same, would've made a great table bottom with a glass top

[@curvingphoenix]

Man this is a massive project but kudos to you man you’ve never been afraid of massive projects that other people won’t do

[@shadyvito]

Another great video idea! There are a lot of creators on KZbin that just sit and talk. You, my friend, work your ass off in most of your videos. No one can say you just phone it in.

[@kencoffman7145]

Friggin Do It AYO! Look at kutzall disks for an angle grinder. Chew thru wood and great for shaping. Just keep being you man❤

[@Musta_mies001]

Always a good day with Ayo posts. Put it straight in my veins.

[@MrMice...]

Part 16...(7 chainsaws, 14 picks and 10 planers later), "well guys, we're about halfway done, still 2-3 inches to go...." 😊

[@chrishampton9817]

Love that while I’m watching your videos I can see the view count just climbing every second

[@lukeclarke1068]

This is by far the best fishing show on KZbin.

[@RachaelSA]

This fishing channel is one of the best boat building channels on youtube.

[@billcotton1551]

The 24" Husky saw is sweet! Great content as per usual, Ayo.

[@carsoncoffman7889]

Ayo, I've been watching you for a while now, your personality is like no other, i hope you never stop making videos

[@KalimAnders]

Awesome Project AYO! Always wear your PPE, it's what keeps you looking cool tomorrow. 👍

[@alantrask6500]

Ayo got a boat or something that floats for every body of water or occasion possible. Love your creativity

[@Iblazebomtastic]

When you believed your camera man about wearing goggles While using a planer😂 , that really got me good 😂

[@NYC-Gardener]

When I saw you pull out the pick axe, I thought "Oh NO!", what you need is a wood adze. It looks a LOT like a pick axe, but the head is angled differently and it is MUCH sharper!

[@jsprankel4712]

I was thinking i needed to run down and bring you my hand planer! Then you pulled one out! This is gonna be fun watching you get it in the water...great job AYO!

[@nahvr]

The difference that 6 inches can make is incredible 😂

[@JoeyBins]

ah man gimme like 40 videos like these. Idk what it is about trees & wood building, cutting, carving etc. Maybe the fact that i helped getting firewood for my family from the age of 8, but who knows. This is why you are my favorite youtuber cause you give content from fishing & carpenting stuff which is my top 2 favorite things.

[@michaelcox609]

Ayo. It's a cool build. Just letting you know they make attachments for your chainsaw it chip the wood out. Have fun. I'll be looking for the next video.

[@p_campbell]

Looks very interesting, keep up the cool videos 🤠

[@georgejackson7752]

AYO you are awesome brother love your content bro especially when you and Davy Gravy are together rock on

[@AYOFishing]

Thanks brother!!

[@tomallen8995]

I don't understand why the 45k viewers don't realize how easy it is to click "Thumbs UP!"

[@vinvega9477]

Badass bro. Can’t wait to see it pass the catch a fish test

[@Robert.A.A]

Loved part one. Cant wait for part two. You and norm convinced me to get a bait caster with hows easy yall made it look. Rats nests for days lol. Also where is norm? Hasnt posted in months hoping everything’s ok

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

This is very interesting to watch. You're probably going to need an adze and/or draw-knife. The adze is meant for what you were trying to do with the pick-axe in chipping out the inside. Next time you have a log like this, you could try getting it milled and build a plank hull. Good work so far! It's always interesting to see how much difference just one good piece of equipment can make to a job.

[@TylerKidd]

Dig this project! I think if you used boat epoxy to fill the cracks that might help. Total boat loves doing sponsors so you could probably get it for free. Also dont torture yourself just use the chainsaw on that bad boy lol.

[@robertzalnis3162]

cut slots about 2 inches deep across the inside of the log with the chainsaw about 3 inches apart and knock out the pieces with your pick. it should co pretty fast. as far as the cracks just tar the outside with some hard setting roofing tar. If you leave that log as its current weight it will not float that well.

[@dinosaur6756]

Get the Hercules 4.5 inch diamond segmented turbo cup wheel for wood grinding at Harbor Freight. You'll be done in an hour...maybe less.

[@fishing_4_fish735]

Love the boat builds!! Keep up the great work…

[@pharumnelson7108]

So what you needed for carving was an angle grinder with kutzall discs

[@kyleo1236]

You definitely need to go to harbor freight and buy a chainsaw grinder blade. It's what they use for wood sculptures. I think it would remove more wood than the planer. Also, check out Xyla Foxlin's videos for some cool handmade wood kayak builds.

[@backwaterbassin1224]

Sick project love to see stuff like this and will 100% be watching the rest

[@davidjensen6596]

Im just gonna put this out there, but you might want to use carpentry tools for carving out that log not gardening tools. I see 2 options here get the proper curver axes that are made for this or cros cut the wood needing to be removed then chip the sections out

[@hunterhuie1550]

really want to see more content like this from you man!!! love it

[@lukesticklen6955]

Ayo your projects are as busted ass as they are extremely cool. Can't wait to see the outcome such a well thought out video.

[@allenhamm7538]

Can't wait to see how it turns out watching now !

[@J_Brian]

Always coming up with the most crazy, but entertaining content!

[@akakjack4515]

Absolutely some of your best work. Your comedic timing and editorial skills are absolutely top-notch. I can’t wait to see where this goes.

[@gingerbreadman530]

This is a sick project. Love the videos.

[@jesserobert8631]

You never cease to amaze us with these boat builds lol love the energy

[@skibbyskib13]

If you're gonna try to carve by hand the tool you're looking for is called an Adze. Similar shape to the flat blade of a pick axe but made for carving wood.

[@tdeppen10]

30 minutes of ayo working on his long hardwood, what could be better!!

[@RagingNana-KindredSpirit50]

I can't wait to see the finished canoe!

[@soulmolasses33]

Man you took on one hell of a project with this one!

[@scareface1197]

Bro your video ideas be on a completely other level then most of these KZbinrs. I’m be here, and when you have millions of subscribers just know you deserve it 💪🏼

[@jdfriar]

gunsmith says: you are using a pick axe instead of an adze. that is not right. love the show keep it up.

[@meatballl8430]

Can't wait for part 2!!!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@alapseinjudgementadultlang7787]

Awesome! This is a super cool idea and a great vid Ayo!

So Weird seeing a boat build that isn't Ayo watching his friends do all the work.

[@80884bpresley]

Awesome video man! Good to see ya

[@JohnSmith-kz1ll]

I own a tree service and use that exact tractor to move logs. It’s perfect to move around in small yards and not tear up there property. It’s a beast for its size.

[@Kevatron-qk9op]

Awesome! Can't wait for part 2!

[@chrisgrabowski2678]

DUDE! Still bringing awesome content and working for it!

[@FshLyf1]

I'm looking forward to seeing this one get finished for sure!!

[@shhitsasecret]

Been a fan for a while but I'm loving the direction you've been going in! My favorite brand of youtube videos is just dudes who wanna build something and refuse to let their lack of experience stop them. Very relatable lol

[@DustonDiekmann]

a feller might put a jumper on the wire under the seat might prevent it from turning off if your forget to take it out of gear. Or maybe a feller could put a zip tie around the reverse switch so allow PTO in reverse.

[@joehamilton9434]

I’ve wanted to do this since my old man pulled a real dugout cedar canoe out of the mountains while he was logging, bad ass man! Keep the cool videos coming

[@ronaldnewell4043]

Love it Pulling out all the stops🎉

[@brianwlndhurst3671]

Another great video from ayo

Well done, keep the videos going!

[@yicoo14]

Can’t wait for part two

[@prestonrussell605]

One of your wildest ideas so far but everything is looking good. Can’t wait to see the finished product. This build is a lot of work young man .

[@azlan3332]

i love this channel so much. Thanks AYO for always being so entertaining and funy. Your viedos always brighten my day!

[@StevenJarrett1961]

Fantastic video. Can’t wait to see where this thing goes. Your channel provides more different content than anyone out there. Looking forward to seeing it finished and the laughs that will be had trying to fish from it.

[@WEMS20]

Fellas, you need two things. A ripping chain, and an adze. You're trying to rip with a cross cut chain and dig with a pickaxe.

[@acraxspray5786]

Another banger from AYO Fishing

[@sandra43543]

That was so much fun to watch!!

[@wolfcastlewolfcastle5863]

respect!! bro!...that's how you crush!!!

[@hammerT2997]

Damn Ayo. Those bark skins could make for some cool projects, accent walls all the way to a roof for a hut in the woods lol

[@fivetool]

"I was told by my cameraman that I would be made fun of by the internet if I wear goggles while using a planer." Turns on planer and wood chips immediately fly into his face. :) Great content, AYO. I love this idea. I have no idea how you are going to resolve the non-existent transom and bow issues, though.

[@duramax.]

A new chain and Bar makes a world difference

[@jimshenk897]

Really sick challenge.. One of your best ideas yet.

[@slikk325]

Worth the wait brother I love your videos all of them

[@kalumwilliams4688]

This channel is the best. Great content as always!

[@marcoscastro7852]

This looks so much fun

[@Newmoneybullyz]

Ayo drop more videos but this one is by far the coolest video ever

[@skypieper]

Dude, Yes! haven't watched the video yet but stoked on it good idea/content.

[@dugbug123]

You’re a wild man dude! Love it

[@Heydude2020]

Idk if this would work but you could try sealing it on the inside and put. Idk why it wouldn’t work but it also wouldn’t look as cool if it changed the original color of the wood

[@chrisw.2492]

This is very ambitious Ayo. Good effort so far.

[@KyleStjohn-lu6ew]

Lets go boys finally

[@mikejurnak4253]

Glad to see some NEW CONTENT, I've had to watch Norm buy everything in the store and 1v1v1 everything for the last month 😂😂😂 BTW what was the black worms in the tree, I'm sure it's Asian something from China every year we get some NEW invasive species thanks to them. #KeepEveryDomestic 🇺🇸

[@16driver16]

Man I slid my jeep into a hole made by a tree tipping over like that! Took alot of shovel and come-along to get me out of that situation, I'm feeling some memories

[@stuartchristie64]

soak the wood and sink it for a few days, it'll probably remove a lot of those cracks from swelling. maybe you could also go over it with wax to fill cracks, or epoxy if you're feeling flush

[@jarroddavis4271]

Dude hell yesss! I'm exited!

[@monkeywithawrench27]

This is very cool, I wanted to build one of these growing up lol
