Building a Cedar Strip Canoe over 10 months!

[@douglasfrank9323]

She's beautiful, they both are. Very nicely done.

[@charlesoleson6616]

WOW ! What a beautiful canoe . My father and I built cedar strip canoes and kayak and watching you brought back some memories that I cherish thank you very much

[@DavidParker]

Thank you! What a lovely memory to have!

[@TommyMakesWood-zo3bz]

Your video production quality is top-notch

[@DavidParker]

Thank you!!

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

20:15 So glad to see your seat was only bolted and not glued, with a touch of play. Different materials have different expansion and contraction rates.

[@lorismiotto88dilegnoamano]

David, your boat is too nice to be used. Keep it in your ditying room. Very best compliments. Ciao from Treviso. Lori

[@OhHeyyItsMeg]

Just gave my Osprey to my grandson. It is still in great condition. Got it in Tennessee about ten years ago. Glads to see you guys continue making quality canoes.

[@Taunus_Sound]

Very beautiful. I can tell comparing to some other diy canoe builder on KZbin you are a one with a special sense of beauty.

[@Wahatoyas]

I can't wait to build one, no one thinks I can, if there's a will there's a way and I definitely have the will

[@parttimetourist]

Excellent quality by a Master Craftsman and Maestro the Michelin Chef of Carpenters

[@saxonwarrior388]

Excellent craftsmanship and artistry combined to make a truly one of a kind functional work of art, I am impressed.

[@sandeepkapare]

Just amazing. This is art piece creation rather than boat build.

[@usmustdie4peace405]

That waterheater Trick is awesome!!!

[@randylanglois]

That is an astronomical amount of work and tedious planning. Excellent job.

[@DavidParker]

Haha I actually enjoy the planning, I’m often planning and researching future projects while I’m in the middle of the one I’m on!

[@gholmes182]

Phenomenally inspiring. What a breathtakingly beautiful piece of woodwork. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@potufus]

Incredible amount of workmanship. A wonderful piece

[@DavidParker]

Thanks!

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot2324]

Meticulously crafted, loved the attention to details, simply awesome ...

[@DavidParker]

Thanks!!

[@rayunseitig6367]

nice shop, room to work, and great tools and machines.

[@barrettjoan5835]

Hi David - thanks for sharing this with us. Ted likes the way you made the accent planks in bulk. And he likes your workshop too! Our little business would not be half as much fun if we did not have builders like you who inspire us to keep going! Making things is a good way to endure this pandemic and we hope you and your family are safely home as it seems you are. Joan and Ted

[@DavidParker]

Thanks Joan! I would never have built a canoe and found a love or canoeing had it not been for you and Ted! We have been staying home but thankfully in New Zealand there is no current community transmission so I could have a little gathering to celebrate the launch!

[@rayunseitig6367]

It makes sense, to get started one step at a time. I think I'll get all my stuff from bearmountain place, then once the mold is done, the second one wont sink. I used cast iron strips. -- this is getting to be fun, I don't know If I'll ever get it in the water, but it will look cool in the yard. Thanks much.

[@joer5627]

Now Son, that is some fine work you did there! Well done.

[@DavidParker]

Thank you!

[@darrellhoekstra8514]

I really like your clamping technique that is super slick. I also went staple-less construction but my clamping method looked a little clumsy compared to that simple wedge method you used. Great build!

[@DavidParker]

Thanks!

[@Johnh1953]

just wonderful! I bet it lasts a lifetime!

[@peterhamilton8430]

couldn't help but clap when the Champagne came out ... thanks for sharing the build, Im across the ditch in QLD and just finishing off a space (carport/shed) to attempt building something similar. I am certainly inspired, but also a tad in awe of your skills mate....very nice work indeed.

[@DavidParker]

Cool! Good luck! It’s such a fun project! I had a friend who built a big tent in his garden to build a boat in!

[@Skinz1972]

That's not just a beautiful canoe mate, that's a work of art with heart and soul within... Well done

[@DrarslanAbdulsattar]

its name aired love.

[@HarshGupta-uo5hx]

they are very beautiful , great work brother

[@DavidParker]

Thank you!!

[@mikef.1000]

There's definitely something a little unnerving about watching all that razor-sharp machinery being used at such high speed!! Seriously, great work... definitely given me some ideas.

[@rubmello]

Congratulations!! I also spent 10 months building my canoe and it's an incredible feeling to finish. Regards from Brazil

[@kevinemery1177]

Beautiful work I like the way you go at the different jobs especially the c clamp plywood jig

[@КузницаЛевша]

Очень красивая лодка получилась. Мастеру браво. Обьём работы огромный.

[@jeffjenkins8303]

What a beautiful canoe. Congratulations on a wonderful build.

[@DavidParker]

Thank you!!

[@sumtertisdale]

I just started building this particular design from Canoecraft; mold stations are al lined up now. Looks fantastic and your video provides more inspiration. Thank you for sharing.

[@HeathenRides]

I never seen such a beautiful canoe before

[@zivabrogan5807]

Amazing artistry in working with machines!!!

[@julanesutton9626]

I was hooked on seeing your projects when I viewed your jaw-dropping wooden bicycle. You're truly a master craftsman. Thanks for sharing David. 🌟

[@FujioParis]

Wonderful! I watched every step and still cannot conceive of how you achieved this. Beautiful work as always :)

[@nickbild3538]

Stunning. Building one of these is on my bucket list. Someday!

[@TravelTourTaste]

Hello my friend great to see you again. Hope you had a great Christmas and just wanted to wish you a very Happy New year and may 2021 bring you much success, joy and happiness. Stay safe and catch up again real soon.

Wow. How nice talk about a piece of Art.

[@УрфинДжюс-э2з]

I live in Ukraine. Doing a canoe for the first time. Learning from your videos. Thank you!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Great build. Love the special layups on her sides. Mine take me 3 months but I am retired and can take the time needed. You have enough clamps. Seems I never have enough of them, LOLOL. Nicely done new friend. THis got you another sub my dear friend. Take care eh !

[@DavidParker]

Haha yeah I already had a few from the first canoe I built and decided I wanted to be properly equipped for the second one, I thought I’d sell them but they’ve come in handy plenty of times since

[@TomokosEnterprize]

@@DavidParker Hello David, Since the creation of my first stripper I am as well as be done by them. Any configuration works great. A rear now squared away transom can handle a bunch of HP and putting a paddle to them is a purely a wonderful type experience. Hooked on strippers, OH YEA BUD, LOLOL

[@JeremyRyanMusic1]

Fantastic job! Way to see it through

[@mattdjmorris]

Beautiful work!

[@mike93lx]

Beautiful canoe and great job with the video too

[@therealsparkman]

Dear David Parker. I really hate you. Not in a bad way or as a person, but the fact that you have woodcraft skills, patience, and ability for detail coming out the yin yang; plus, you have a nice big shop to do projects like that. Oh how I wish! Well done and thanks for taking the extra time to video your progress of the build. I'm going to go and beat my dog now...just kidding. Cheers!

Thank you!

[@eduardoachigar]

excelent!!! congratulations!!!

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Great build! One day I hope to build a canoe. I would love to understand what made the stapleless build easier than using staples.

[@DavidParker]

It wasn’t because it’s easier, it was to avoid the staple holes in the strips which you can still see in the end. But in some ways I felt like I had more control over pressing the strips together etc so I wouldn’t say it’s much harder than staples, but it is slower

[@TheGrantAlexander]

@@DavidParker thanks! Makes sense to me ☺️ did you have to wait for the glue to cure completely before moving on to the next level?

[@DavidParker]

@@TheGrantAlexander haha yeah, I mean unless it was a particularly tricky strip to clamp id maybe do another after about 4 hours so I could get 4 or 6 strips a day but I didn’t mind taking my time on that part of the process

[@timbenham516]

Beautiful!

[@toddheil42]

Great JOB! Thank you for sharing!!!!!

[@DavidParker]

Thanks!!

[@georgiaschofield9596]

So beautiful! ❤️

[@sepehrdanny419]

Congratulations. Amazing workmanship and dedication. One question though. .... is single fibreglass layer enough? I have seen some canoes that have more than one fibreglass layer application. Cheers.

[@DavidParker]

Yep a single 6oz is enough for standard use, some people like to use a ‘football’ to protect against wear on the bottom

[@dr.nat.veliaslan2301]

hey david very good and clean work but on the first trip i would have taken my mother how do you think about it ..... greetings from turkey

[@mariushegli]

Wow. Just wow.
