What is interesting is how ALL things evolve. For instance my people are from remote place in Canada. Similar climate to what you have. What is interesting is that many of the solutions that you use are variations of solutions people use globally. The boat that you built takes design-of a boat from a remote place in Namibia ?, or similar remote place. Those boats are similar,(but different,lol), that boats the native people of northern Canada have been building since time for humans began! They evolution is interesting because it is an inside look at how human thinking works.

[@bondvagabond42]

Another great video! Im a wooden boat builder for my day job, a couple tricks I use that might help you: kerfing is a way to joint boards together with a saw, rather than a plane. You gently clamp boards edges together, then saw down the uneven gap between them, it only removes wood where the boards touch, allowing you to then push the boards closer together, and you can repeat several times if needed to get a perfectly fitted joint, and can be done when you are too exhausted to do a nice job with a jointing plane. The other tip is if you tip your plane slightly on the return stroke, your plane blade will stay sharp much longer. There is an ancient recipe for a boat finish called "boat soap" or "boat sauce" it is just pine tar, bees wax, and linseed oil. You heat it in a can inside of a pot of boiling water, you rub it on hot, let it dry for a bit, and it will seem like a sticky mess, but you polish it with a dry rag, and it brings the wax to the surface, leaving a nice surface that is as pretty as varnish, but it wont crack wnd trap water underneath, causing rot like varnish, and the pine tar is very rot preventative. If you are building a wood boat in the woods, instead of in a fancy shop with a steam box, and you worry your boards will crack when you bend them, you can pour boiling water on the most extreme bend and it will help a lot. Thanks again for making so many great videos, i like doing similar projects, and i am disabled with MS, so sometimes i feel too sick to do much, and its fun to watch someone else's projects on those days.

[@Advoko]

Thank you for the info!

[@djssb231]

"Friends, don't repeat my mistakes" is one of my favorite quotes. Dont worry about that Max, I think I need a few lifetimes of engineering and woodworking before I can make any of the same 'mistakes' you make. Legend...

[@benlucy941]

From a fellow woodworker in North America, the video was wonderful,enthralling, just amazing. I can not believe what you are doing with so little tools. In North America, at our latitude, we have such a different type of forest with a mixture of just a few softwoods, but many many hardwoods. I think that we have 200 different oak species alone. We have a southern yellow pine that sometimes will become wind blown and lay on the forest floor for years with a preserved heart wood, but typically the available useful wood - even thought the tree in total might be 2 feet or more in diameter, the unrotted heart wood would be very small but thick with preserved sap and extremely aromatic- and combustible. In this sad time , I wish that we all were building beautiful boats in a peaceful spot in a beautiful locale as you are. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story.

[@Arturian.music.official]

@Advoko Are you familiar with Windsor chairs? They are beautiful and strong. I recommend Curtis Buchanan's channel over other Windsor chair channels for the level of instruction. However, he uses conical tennons for legs into the seat. I recommend cylindrical. Conical makes it easier to correct the angle as the hole is being reamed but makes a connection that loosens.

It’s great to see you posting a video again, I’ve missed your high quality productions. Your ability to turn your hand to so many endeavours is absolutely amazing. Well done and it’s always a pleasure to watch.

Wow! I never knew there were so many variables/things to consider when making a boat. I really enjoyed all of this content.

[@FresherDenamug]

I think the bottom looked like a leaf. Many times during your video, I was unsure of the terms used, but kept watching to see what you meant. So much work appeared a pleasure from the way you enjoyed the process. It was like witnessing craftsmanship being born into a practical (yet beautiful) result. Thank you for not covering up your mistakes or I would believe you to be a super hero. As a man you are charming. Nice to see your efforts turned out successfully. Great job! ❤️👍🥰💯 I look forward to the next one. I bless thee. Congratulations Max..

Very good for old man of 80 I enjoyed young man make doing something good with his hands. Thank you.

[@GeezerWheels]

Excellent video, my friend. Also shows many of us new techniques to use if we ever need to work off grid. Here in the US I have always had the luxury of using factory made equipment, but your application of hand made clamping procedures are quite informative. I know mankind has used these techniques for centuries, but modern conveniences have caused us to forget many time-tested applications. Thanks again - enjoy life!

[@jkell42]

Another classic! I love seeing your patience and perseverance as you produce such amazing craft.

[@Rysosceles]

Welcome back ❤️

[@MagralhoPT]

Glad you are back and safe. I was afraid you had to enlist. Thank God!

[@nicolecrystal6765]

Thank you for your wonderful videos. Your sauna reminded me of the outdoor wood plank shower my father built when I was a kid in upstate family vacation home :)

[@constancestine1020]

Congratulations on your boat project, I found it very fascinating, you are so talented! Wishing you good health!

[@ПростоТатьяна-л8д]

Максим,голубчик!!!Я очень рада вас видеть,дождалась!!!!

[@PK-qg8wl]

Max, it's always a pleasure to see you craft something. Thank you.

[@featherstonable]

THANK you for this sentence. It sums up the video for me, it also allows me to notice similar moments I experience in my life, and to add higher quality and value to them. Very important to stand by our sense of satisfaction when we feel it. "Sitting on a warm rock, near the largest lake in Europe, listening to the splash of the surf, looking at the product of my efforts. It's almost insane to wish for anything else. If I were to describe this moment in one word; then I would chose the word 'appeasement'." Again, thank you for this video! I loved it.

[@Silverblue5546]

You gave me an hour of absolute peace and serenity. What price can one put on that. I admire your skills, patience, stamina and attention to detail. You delivered your journey in so gentle and unassuming manner that it provided the illusion of ease in fabrication of your product. I wish you well in all your endeavors. -- Steve McKinstry -- MSgt of Marines, Retired

[@Advoko]

Steven, thank you for your kind words!

[@rojo3220]

I really appreciate the calm mood of your videos. I never regret a minute spent watching them.

[@matthewwoodall1478]

MAX!! Me and my friends look for new videos from you daily! Im very happy to see you, thank you for such long videos and stay safe!

[@BigDadGigaCHAD]

So glad to see you brother, I hope all is well for you and your loved ones.

[@johnnysmythe7767]

Max, Your channel is by far my favourite to watch. I love the details you describe in your builds and the mistakes and challenges you face along the way. Please and thank you for making such great videos! I….We look forward to your next adventures! 😊

[@JohnSmith-gy4qj]

Great to see you not cutting any corners and doing excellent work out in the forest. Its a good lesson in working with basic tools.

[@nikburton9264]

Great video Max! Good to hear from you again. I've built a couple of smallcraft over the years, and yours looks pretty darn good. Being an old sailor I can tell you, maintainence is even more work than building. But you probably knew that already. Already looking forward to your next video.

[@Advoko]

Hi Nik, good to hear from an old friend! ))

[@cleophusA]

A master class in primitive boat building! Excellent work.
