Carving A Canoe For My Son

[@matej3606]

I did not expect that kid reaction 😂. Poor Andy

[@redC16]

That's 2 year olds for you! He will look back one day and wish now all he had to worry about was not wanting to play with the canoe in the bath haha

[@junng6848]

@@redC16 he doesn’t look 2

[@troymartin5511]

A kid that old with nuk... I definitely expected that reaction. Fake crying and all.

[@opinionatedone]

I was just enjoying the carving, and then Johnny comes on. Fond reminder of conversations with my kids at the age. He's so sweet. It also makes me realize how long I've been watching your channel. You had two kids and he was a toddler back then.

[@lindsey8163]

Same! So sweet

[@AndyRawls]

It really is crazy how fast they grow up!!

[@TotalBoat]

Just keep building the boats, Andy! the tub will bring the boat to life! Thanks for sharing this special build with us! Carve MORE BOATS!!! ;)

[@AndyRawls]

Haha! Thanks guys! Maybe next will be a full-size canoe!

[@TotalBoat]

@@AndyRawls We are here for it!!

[@joeleonetti8976]

Nice project. Some ideas, how about carving a pickup truck (56 Ford F100), tank, bull dozer. Slightly more complex would be building a wooden wagon. Could make your own Lincoln Logs.

[@Meg_A_Byte]

Gotta appreciate the honesty of the kids. If they don't want to play with the canoe, at least they let you know straight up. Probably better than playing with it for 5 minutes and then never again.

[@Follett2121]

Wholesome.

[@HOSER227]

Nice! Pine wood derby car next, follow by a soap box derby car which the kids can ride down a ramp!

[@SoldierDemps]

A train carving would be a good one to make, one of those high speed trains tho, quite simplistic.

[@anindyasunderroy3092]

It is very natural with kids, the way they react here like your kid. You are a very lucky dad to have two beautiful adorable kids we see here in your video !

[@jdcoy]

I also have a 2 year old so I wasn’t surprised by the spontaneous crying! Keep up the good work fellow dad!

[@pieternel3769]

Hallo Andy. I like your video. Can you make a short video how to use the scraper you used to finish the bottom of the canoe. Thank you

[@bmilhoan]

I want to second the vote for “Paddle to the Sea”! Your older boy is probably ready for the book and the video. Doug Linker did a carving tutorial around the story as well. Classic!

[@bobgasm1471]

I enjoyed that movie when I was a kid......many years ago

[@rickswordfire4774]

1911 grips could make for a cool little carving/checkering project

[@n3b266]

The airplane was the first video I watched and have been hooked ever since

[@OutontheRanchwithDrLee-xb4lo]

That was totally awesome, Andy! I loved every second of it.....except the tears/it's not easy being 2! LOL

[@AndyRawls]

Haha! Juds having an especially hard time with it!

[@dave_adamson]

This really inspired me to come up with something for my nephew that was born 4 months ago. He's young so still have a bit of time to figure out what to make.

[@johnprestonii871]

I have a toddler also and I completely get that difficult challenge of pleasing them at random times. That canoe looks awesome! I would have stopped without the seats but then when I saw them on it I thought “dang! That took it to a new level”. Love watching your videos. Keep up the good work

[@liamhenderson8429]

You make my favorite videos on KZbin. I started watching years ago when I was still in school. Your videos were my first exposure to hand tool woodworking and joinery. Now I have the means to have a small shop and Ive been practicing my joinery and quickly falling in love with the craft. Thanks for making the videos you do. Liam

[@Jameson4327]

I was blown away when I heard Johnny say you’re welcome. Well done dad!

[@Hatchmade]

That was a classic reaction. Thanks for sharing it was hilarious.

[@sharoneasley]

That was a great video. I love working with wood but I don’t have a proper tools. But I still try. Now that I’m retired, I might get a little bit more serious and get the proper tools. You are very talented.

[@its91x65]

Hey andy, I started watching your videos a few years ago and i got hooked i started to watch every new video and went back and watched some older ones, but i found out about a year ago youtube stopped recommending them to me. I recently saw an airstream camper and got reminded of yours. I never forgot your name and so i quickly got on youtube and found your channel again. Now i have post notifications on and i plan to go back and watch all of the videos ive missed. Im glad to be back and i wish you all the best.

[@AndyRawls]

Thanks for watching and it’s great to have you back!!

[@joshfoster2536]

With everything going on in the world these days, it's great to see some wholesome stuff like this. That's an epic canoe, thanks for sharing!

[@vaughnhafner3638]

I really enjoyed watching you carve the little Canoe.

[@edwinajackson278]

Loved the canoe! I think Barbie furniture would be a cool build.

[@doraratcliff1860]

This Is awesome had a carpenter friend who named his kid Chip he didn’t even realize the humor your son will enjoy this forever

[@bigdogmn73]

That's pretty cool..three generations sitting in your shop...

[@jerryrathbone2168]

Nice job

[@BMSculptures]

This was a very satisfying video to watch. I wish I could carve with hand tools vs power.

[@BrianRust89]

Love these carving videos!!! Also the tool restoration videos. Like the Stanley chisel video or the 4 1/2 restoration video you did a while back. It’s all good stuff though man. Keep doing it hat your doing!!

[@multicammando]

He loves his canoe so much!!! 😁. Nice little canoe! Glad you shared.

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

Beautiful job. I think I just saw your next family project after the Argase is done. Lol

[@canescup12]

LOL, sad thing is they don't seem to grow out of it. Most things I've built for my kids go unappreciated. One day when I'm gone maybe they will, for now I'll just keep building.

[@steveaw5895]

Of course a paddle, don't want to be up a creek without one ! Beautiful job on that canoe.

[@dwaynewilson9834]

I was curious how well it floats. Love your work Andy. Thanks.

[@jrmintz1]

Beautiful!

[@richternes6765]

cool project. Hope that you will have time to share more like this in the future

[@RobRobertson1000]

Loved it Andy

[@TheRedhawke]

Great video, I really enjoy seeing you working with your son. Those are the best memories of my life. You might consider building a coffin plane to become an heirloom for your boys to remind them of who you were. I only chose that wooden pattern because it’s my favorite and I would love to see your take on it.

[@sarahmaetillor2483]

What a good father

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

nice project, well done,

[@jimbecker5675]

Great little project!!!!!

[@tatesolveson4714]

That cookie looked really good. I remember carving a canoe many years ago when I was in like 4th grade.

[@phredrocks]

The detail you go into for the kid's is exceptional. thanks for sharing. Good stuff Andy!

[@judebrown4103]

Ah that was a lovely task you set yourself there, great to see your lad in the shop with you, won't be long and he'll be your apprentice. His poor little brother looked like he didn't know if he was coming or going bless him, terrible twos eh?!

[@marcelloramazzini5402]

Hey Andy!, this could help you a bit with the matter if him maybe not liking it much currently. From the experience, I am 19 years old, (maybe I could still feel like a child?😁) but I do have a suggestion for you, since it happened to me the same before, and it is that most likely, little kids tend to feel more attracted to plastic, shiny and colorful toys. It isn´t that they don´t appreciate wooden toys, but their current interest. Happened to me with hand carved cars, were not the best... but what helped me with some children, was to take the time to sit with them, and get into their minds to ask and understand them what they currently like, and that´s how they tend to like more woode toys. As for example, they might currently like animals, would´nt mind to have a canoe, but definately they would incline towards more to their precently likes.´ Also you can have a box with the wooden toys, not only to preserve better the wooden toys from environment and wear. But also for shared use, and when interested in them, they can be used and shared Hope it helps 😁 you have beautiful children 🥰

[@kevinhoppenworth6708]

Andy, you need a stump for that kind of chopping. Looks like fun.

[@AndyRawls]

I do my workbench would appreciate it!

[@bradysmama]

This is gorgeous and relaxing to watch 😍 your son is a lucky guy!

[@timothyvanderschultzen9640]

Paddle to the sea!

[@williamellis8993]

Really nice, Andy. He will always remember being in the shop with you too. Bill

[@ZachAshcraft]

Definitely love these videos! The reaction made me laugh a bit. I can definitely relate right now

[@1774Emma]

congratulations !! it's a very beautiful canoe sincerely !! good work !!

[@virtusleather]

Small car with wheels maybe? Great video Andy.

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Andy! Nicely done!!! 😃 But yeah... I didn't even understand myself when I was a kid, so... 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@mikemccollum4521]

This gave me an idea for my grandson. Thank you

[@nicholasdomitraschuk1689]

Very Cool.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Awesome project Andy now you have to make some for the rest kids

[@moriel-bareli]

Awesome man! Love the interaction between you and your kids

[@peteelliott1241]

Great work Andy, excellent dad skills 😁

[@coljter15]

Really love the carving videos, and a hand mirror and stand would be very cool to see

[@RandyPollock]

Dad I need a toy canoe...most Dads drive to Walmart...Andy....son bring me my axe :-)

[@redC16]

Needs a lighthouse for the side of the bath now

[@dylansousa5571]

Good video

[@Maxcardz]

Awesome love your video

[@Isaac1233k]

Tractors and cars would be cool

[@johnniecarter3013]

Awesome!!

[@christa2756]

Ill never forget the spoon carving video

[@edualbergaria10]

Nice work! I love this kind of video. The reaction of your son was unplayable. Lol

[@davidbross6942]

Reminds me of the book "Paddle to the Sea".

[@the1plantguy]

How awesome! Too bad the little guy didn’t like it.

[@marlawhite3682]

[@bachplucked]

Enjoyed the carving. Go MuskOx Love their flannel shirts especially up here in Michigan

[@AndyRawls]

Their flannels are the best. I’ve got way too many!!

Does your wife borrow them one in a while?

"Axes are for carving" best thing ever said

Sungguh menyenangkan hati bergitu kreatif saya hobby I'm glad to you dari aceh indonesia

[@dpmeyer4867]

nice

[@ickyz0]

This brought back memories of a movie I was shown as a kid in elementary school called PADDLE TO THE SEA(I had to look it up) I am now going to try to carve a canoe out of a tree I just cut down If you want to see the movie(short film) here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX22pHR8d56nfaM your son might be more into the canoe if he watches this film

[@joelw6215]

I have a 1.5 month and wow. Do they cry. I cry too haha.

[@jcmottern]

As a father of a two-and-a-half-year-old...I understand your pain 😔

[@armscarvings3657]

👍👍👍

[@larrybud]

9:40 LMAO. Nice job, except for the CA glue, this is how toys were essentially made pre-plastic.

[@larrykelly2838]

The boys will remember you forever, handmade toys are the cherished ones.

[@andrejohnson6731]

Terrible Twos 🤣

[@imamsantoso7232]

Mantaaap

[@normanmartineau7133]

A figurine of a fisherman for the canoe

[@tomjohnson9976]

Do you worry that he might use a hatchet like that?

[@jessemartinez2840]

What wood did you used?

[@lenshreck6263]

Mr Rawls where is your Apprentice of late dont see him much

[@AndyRawls]

He’s still here working hard everyday.

[@raymondbloomer7024]

Is that more of a dug out than a canoe? 😊

[@royreynolds108]

The original canoe was a dugout.

[@guy4462]

SOMEONE NEEDS A NAP

[@Verdrangung]

Had a 6 month “grumpy phase” with the 2 year old. Nice to get past it.

[@AndyRawls]

I can’t wait!

[@markjones7045]

kids......

[@SRM_NZ]

being that the world is in such turmoil currently, with Trumpism, White Supremacy, Putin, The Ukraine, freedom suppression laws being enacted and covid.....would you be able to carve/create the 'Unity of the World' symbol.....just to remind everyone that we still are 'neighbours' and as such respectful of everyone's rights to love and be loved.
