2 years after i find this good video made with care, amazing how simple and fast polynesian boatbuilding is, and nontoxic and how has been largely ignored

Please if you're still alive show us the next episode!

[@aquasol2121]

Great to know this was helpful :)

[@pelageos]

You are cool man! Looking forward to seeing continue! Boat looks very beautiful!

Fantastic! I’m transfixed, having perused Haddon & Hornell for years, I’m now getting acquainted with the detailed construction. Proas rule.

[@aquasol2121]

Thanks for the recommendation John. My fascination for the Proas came from watching a video series by Buckminster Fuller called "everything I know " The full series I don't think is on KZbin any more but I found a transcript of where he describes the water people and Proas. His insights are remarkable. I recommend starting at www.bfi.org/about-fuller/resources/everything-i-know/session-4 then scroll daown to Part 6 and read from there :)

@@aquasol2121 thanks so much for this! I’ll review! Yeah, saw Fuller speak in person in ‘79, while I was in archit. school. He was amazing. To this day a big fan of tensigrity & domes.

A few years ago I saw an article on youtube about some aspects of bamboo technology in Japan, dunno how you'd find it.

Very good gob!!! I want see what you have on whis time.

[@SuperHyee]

Thanks !

Excellent, Adi keep up the good work 👍🙂 did you think of bending them over a trench of charcoal? Perhaps you could have done them all at once and been able to go off returning to lower them as the coals burn down, my concern would be needing to turn them for even heat

[@aquasol2121]

Thanks Kev, yes that's how its done traditionally, they also pour hot sand into the culms to avoid kinking the bends.
