Beautiful piece of work.

[@robboholleran9666]

This is about the best a to z video. Thanks. I'm on my 2nd adk guide boat, white cedar.

[@seamancustombuilds2553]

Thanks for watching and commenting, I hope your build goes great

[@JamesKing-jw6hs]

That's pretty man, great job

[@joecool8427]

I am trying to find somebody that could build me a canoe, coffee table. Please let me know if that is something that you would be interested in talking about

[@seamancustombuilds2553]

Thanks for watching, sorry I’m not taking on any commissioned projects

[@jamesadowney]

This was a great step by step. I have an older cedar strip with a couple holes that I am about to renew and feeling daunted by going from simple woodworking to fiberglassing over the hard work. Your statement there really struck home to where my stress is. Nice to know I'm not the only one.

[@Giovanpire]

👏👏👏👏👏perfect

[@desireehelms8012]

I would like to pay for one of cash up front much better to buy one hand built than to buy one from Bass Pros shop

[@TotalBoat]

Your talent and attention to detail really shines throughout this build! We loved watching it come together, beautifully done!

[@seamancustombuilds2553]

Thank you so much, appreciate the kind words

[@desireehelms8012]

How do I send you an email requesting your opinion on a bigger Cedar Strip Canoe for days on the water

[@mblatner]

Let’s see it floating

[@RKAPPLEBY]

Nice job on your build - I really like the look of this boat - are there plans available anywhere?

[@fredchainring6728]

Looked like a lot of knots in the cedar, especially some large ones. Did you cut out bad spots and scarf joint any of the strips to limit waste and eliminate weaks spots in wood, or did you figure the epoxy would take care of it all?

[@manolhsmanolhs1508]

You make a very nice job! Where can i find the constructing plans of that canoe? Many thanks in advance.

[@nanaowusuaghana7559]

Hay thanks my class teacher gave as project work to make a booklet about canoe thank you for the tips🎉❤😂🎉

[@robertbolding4182]

I bet you wish you had never used epoxy to fill gaps. You can think Bear mountain boats for that

[@carlhornback5087]

I'm having a problem getting the strips to lay flat on the stations, Any help

[@seamancustombuilds2553]

Are you stapling or using clamps?

[@carlhornback5087]

@@seamancustombuilds2553 just clamps, I first tried staples but they would pull out when I bent the strip, was using T50 9/16 staples, do the sprips have to lay flat ?

[@stevemccormick4938]

@@carlhornback5087 Yes, or fairing will be a nightmare and you will thin the core too much in doing so. Use what even tools you need to flatten them. I glue a strip on the station mould back from the edge then install a clamp. I have also used rubber bands to do the same. I cut up old bike tubes for rubber bands.

[@johnschuster9192]

Awesome video!You have chemical trails in Tennessee just like here in Oregon...My wife wants me to build her a strip wood canoe...thanks for the tips!

[@seamancustombuilds2553]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Good luck and enjoy your build!

How do I hire you guys to build my Cedar Strip Canoe?

[@unit0033]

brave putting epoxy on without masks

[@gregkosinski2303]

Haha seaman

[@nanaowusuaghana7559]

Gregkosinski2303 is laughing at you he called you seaman

[@dennismacwilliams196]

How many hours do you think it took to make the canoe ? Thanks

[@seamancustombuilds2553]

I had a little over 200 hours in it, thanks for watching

[@pamr1]

Super talented!!!! Awesome project

[@seamancustombuilds2553]

Thank you!

[@joshuapruett1238]

Can I use Red Elm lumber?

[@seamancustombuilds2553]

I don’t see why not, I don’t know how the weight would compare but would probably be beautiful

[@robboholleran9666]

Elm is good for bending. And you can accent with the sapwood.

[@randywarnock2937]

I built our first cedar strip canoe in 1992. It was a 20’ E. M. White design. We have canoed many expeditions with it in many kinds of waters. I built our 17’ canoe 24 years ago and it has been on many adventures. I am now building an 18’ cedar strip canoe for my wife. She loves the 20’ canoe but it weighs 100#. I am building this one as light as I can.

[@bangtigo1260]

Cool

[@PrimetimeNut]

all that work and you don't bother to use clear cedar?

[@Lazarus-aap]

Looks amazing! Any tips&tricks on what to do to don't do? You've mentioned a few don'ts but maybe you've learned about some other stuff now that it is done?

[@seamancustombuilds2553]

Thank you and thanks for watching. I wish I would have done a better job putting on the bead and cove, made sure the strips were tighter when putting them on the forms, been a little more careful sanding the strips, wipe off epoxy drips and runs before it dries, I think that might be it

[@Lazarus-aap]

@@seamancustombuilds2553 Thank you for your answer! I will take these into account once I start building my first wooden canoe. I am building one from fiberglass at the moment, but I don't like the material

[@Markrodriguez-y6m]

looks great! how much does it weigh?

[@okiebrave1932]

awesome! Thanks for naming it ERMA

[@seamancustombuilds2553]

Congratulations on a beautiful build of your Cedar Strip Canoe. I love the choice of the name.

[@Murphthemick]

Why is the thumbnail the canoe full of water 🤣🤣

[@seamancustombuilds2553]

It’s not full of water, that’s the shine of the varnish

[@Captain-ln3vh]

Great build.
