Building Skin on Frame Nesting Canoes

[@caveman1334]

SOF boats are works of art. An ancient craft that can be done without a tape measure..... 12 years ago, I built two kayaks, and I must give credit to Brian because I did look up at his videos as well as some from other Original people's work. Beautiful experience. Thank you.

[@2greeksandacamera]

Absolutely love the way this master teacher boat builder covers it all and most definitely knows what he’s talking about. Just the background music of this is plenty good reason to play this video. Some things in life are super interesting and educational to watch whether we actually ever do the activity or not. It’s a vicarious experience that helps us expand our horizons to engage with all kinds of exciting and interesting endeavors with others or just to enjoy by ourself. This video is one of the best of watching a real master of his craft do his thing, and the best is at the end of it becoming a shared adventure with not just one canoe but 2 and 3 !!! The guitar strumming is just grand as it gets.

[@raymondyee3313]

Great job, soothing music... rather than robo junk. A true pleasure to watch

[@JamesAlgure]

Amazing! It's not just a boat! It's a masterpiece! Congratulations on the beautiful work! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@alexhoplyakov1684]

The idea of three canoes built like matryoshkas is great! But the craftsmanship is just out of this world. Thank you so much Brian

I am Korean. Thank you frame canoe. It was very helpful.

[@yngveellingsen3471]

This design is pure genius. Love the design(s) and the video. Excellent work!

[@oxsome]

OMG the design is SO smart!!! all the small details to make it comfortable and easy to use! amazing!!!

[@andrewbraye84]

Thank you. I have studied boat building on my own, and your video was vital to my success

[@RobBanks]

So damn cool, makes me so happy to see you still designing and building after all these years Brian! and damnit...I want a pair of these!

[@chipsterb4946]

Thanks for showing how you clamp the glue up for the gunwales. Clamping to riser block takes guess work out of the equation in terms of the amount of curve. Lots of fantastic detail here. I’ll watch this several times more. Thanks!

[@chrismcbride2572]

Hi Brian, this is a wonderful film: don't ever stop building boats, but if you did there would be a future for you just making films instead! In addition to making me want to build a skin on frame canoe, a craft which btw you have raised to a new level, watching and listening to your film just makes our household feel inspired by the possibilities and in awe of your continually improving craftsmanship with workshop and camera. Thank you! Chris

[@brenttaylor6395]

THAT was a fantastic voyage! Thank you for taking us along...loved the videography!

[@kenolson3064]

The filming and editing of your video is stunning. Good-looking canoe as well.

[@mcsailor67]

Long time fan first time to post . I can watch this over and over , great videography ! Getting my stuff together signed up on your website haven't taken the plunge and purchased the course yet. You mentioned Duckworks in one of your videos, Chuck L and his wife are good people . Did the Texas 200 a while back with them . I might attempt again in a couple 66s.. set up Tandem style wit spray deck and lateen rig off a sunfish set up ( toying with different sail setups ) . Will pick your brain on that once I get to that point . Cheers Adam

[@666dynomax]

1:29 I have never seen that trick before that is amazingly simply

[@cormacsmall9442]

Yeah, that was such a neat trick to learn!

[@slowlydimming4320]

Would love to own and paddle this boat!

[@richardwill935]

Beautifully done - video and canoe.

[@wrtsprt]

Paddle as rudder .. wonderful!

[@spila123]

[@михаилроманов-ф7ч]

[@htrvvrth]

amazing work! what are the materials you used?

[@bangunantv]

follow along ... the tutorial is really great ... Greetings to Dr. IND

[@LukePighetti]

At 6:25 I found it really interesting that you apply the dye from the bottom up, my first instinct would be to apply it from the top down to control dripping. But maybe it doesn't matter? Would love to hear your thoughts on this

[@capefalconkayak]

Bottom up is better, because if you go to the other direction, you end up seeing streaks even after it’s completely covered but these days I’m not doing much acid die most of what I do is earth pigment, which is a completely different process

[@lennartekdahl8298]

super beauty canoe.........

[@LukePighetti]

At 7:45 I would be interested to know if you've ever tried hex joint connector bolts which have a wide bearing surface, cleaner appearance, and less snagging risk compared to a traditional bolt and fender washer

[@capefalconkayak]

These days I’m using truss head bolts which also solves the snag problem

[@scottgorman7166]

Nice...wing and wing running with the wind on 2 different boats...great job. Watching you do the build was inspiring to get my tools out and start on my SOF F1. I do want to know since your natural wood color and only dye the fabric why didnt you use bronze screws when you attached the gunwale rub rails?

[@capefalconkayak]

Just because bronze is expensive. Stainless is cheap and strong.

[@ВладимирВасильев-с3ы]

This is excellent. Bravo!

[@deanmacka4975]

Pretty cool stuff mate.

[@wouter4551]

Very nice construction! In our shallow waters there 's a lot of submerged stuff, not only junk but half trees with snapped branches sticking out, and thorny bushes. Would the skin on this frame hold out against that sort of stuff? Using a PE canoe now, but it's very heavy.

[@capefalconkayak]

It’s certainly not indestructible but I’m always surprised by what doesn’t put a hole in it. I did a really extensive video on skin on frame durability that you can find on the channel here but just to give you an example myself and my partner paddled into a piece of submerged rebar so hard that we were stuck on top of it and it took a couple minutes to get the canoe off of it. Left a nasty scratch but didn’t even get through the coating to the skin. We also recently catamaraned two of them together and took them down some moderate white water including some pretty heavy crashes with no real damage. In 20 years I’ve personally never punctured the skin on skin boat and in the roughly 2000 boats I’ve helped put on the water I’ve only heard of two on the water punctures. So it can definitely happen but it doesn’t seem to happen that much.

[@wouter4551]

@@capefalconkayak Awesome, thanks for your reply and it's an answer i'm happy to read! The rebar is something i've hit before- i'm in the Netherlands and you can expect trash anywhere in the water including concrete and metal. Looks like i'm going to have to try out this method! Love your video's and going to search for the one on durability!

[@rubberduck3689]

very impresive

[@TheMihrentiy]

Это произведение искусства.

[@adameckhardt6532]

This is so amazing! Thanks for all the editing work put into this summary. I'm curious about the dark colored rub rail in the largest of the three canoes. Just a dark colored Rubio Monocoat?

[@capefalconkayak]

Just what happens to Ash, when largest Canoe is basically a Weather shield for the other two. I’m thinking about permanently switching to cherry gunwales to avoid the blackening. I also recently learned that we should really be using the Hardener with the Rubio, but that gets kind of pricey, because they don’t make it in small batches.

[@martind349]

I suppose you could put a sail between the other two! With a casual point to point rigging

[@kovacs4577]

Beautiful. Do you have a design that you would recommend for solo tripping or long weekend two-person trips? And no worries about the multiple emails the past 24-hours - this video more than made up for them. All the best,

[@capefalconkayak]

I think that just depends on what you’re used to and what you’re comfortable with. If you have experience doing long solo trips in tandems you could do the same thing in one of my boats. Personally I prefer a boat for each use. I find that if I get a tandem small enough to where I like swallowing it it’s not big enough for a weekend camping for two people and if I make it big enough that it’s comfortable for two people for a weekend camping I don’t like soloing it. But that’s just me and I don’t have a lot of canoeing experience. The short answer is that if you see something you like in some other type of canoe you can build that with the system usually

[@sakibphansophkar6191]

Nice simple

[@thomasrobson6370]

laminating the gunnels like that is similar to making a laminated bow 😁 time to be silly; wow you built that canoe in less than 10 minutes 😁

[@murataras6049]

Wonderfull... Which wood did you use? Is it carbon fiber fabric ?

[@capefalconkayak]

Western red cedar and white oak, nylon cloth, 2 part polyurethane

[@sadkingbilly]

I’m very interested in the half round shape you mount the oars to. Do you have something like build instructions or dimensions?

[@capefalconkayak]

I do, I actually have a mini course on our website that shows how to build that and the Oars. I think it’s about seven hours of videos and then also a plan set, we charge $25 for it.

[@vicbauwens]

May I ask, is there a particular reason for the brownish dye? Personally I would stick to pure white any time, but maybe there is a reason beyond mere esthetical differences of opinion?

[@capefalconkayak]

The white would be nice but it doesn’t stay white because the coating turns yellow, so adding some fabric dye to make that look better is the reason.

[@jbutzi]

Superb!

[@DarbukaDave]

Have you had any students using riven bending stock? I have access to a bunch of white oak, and no sawmill. EDIT: I'm talking about oak that is currently still in tree form, so it will be green as can be.

[@capefalconkayak]

I’m sure anything is possible but I think that would prove quite challenging with our system. Probably better to figure out how to mill it

[@izzyplusplusplus1004]

What kind of fabric is that, that cuts with a hot knife?

[@jamesfletcher279]

Hi Brain I would love to build one of these Canoes and would like to purchase some plans but I am getting nowhere with your website

[@capefalconkayak]

Hey James, sorry I missed this, I don’t check on KZbin very often. Feel free to email me directly and I can send you links to everything you need. but briefly, all you need to do is go to the website, then click on where it says classes in plans, and then right there you can purchase the video course which also includes the plan set. There’s also an introduction video at the top that explains really clearly how all that works. You can also find that same video and plans combination in our store. It can be purchased on either page. Feel free to email me directly for clarifications!
