Nick, I’ve been watching your videos for years wanting to build my own kayak. Your videos are always very detailed but I find this series to be more descriptive for the beginner. Thanks! Keep up the great work.

Thanks. That is my goal with this series. All my previous video series have been documenting my work when making a kayak for a customer and taking you folks along as I do it. In this one I wanted to get into the weeds a bit for folks who want to do it themselves.

Well worth watching again. Lots of little tips and some useful refreshers. Bill’s description of paddling the Petrel Play was great inspiration. Finally ordered (strip) PP plans and looking forward to getting started in January. It’s clear perhaps I should have got going 6 years ago when I was waiting for the plans to be issued, and forced the issue rather than waiting until i felt I had everything ready to build.

I really appreciate you talking about the option to pick it up the next day. You’re going out of your way to make this approachable for the novice with things like this.

I’ve found that if a wire brakes coming out, I will apply some heat with a soldering iron to the wire and the heat will make the wire come out smoothly.

My goal with this process is to not get the wire glued in, but heat absolutely will help free up wires that get stuck.

I spent some time with the Gougeon brothers in the mid 80’s and I would have been slapped silly incorporating old mix with new.that was 40 some years ago so maybe things have changed since then. I’ve been out for a long time so who knows what’s changed.

It may not be "best practice", but I have never had a problem with mixing together new with old batches. I'm cheap so, I don't like throwing away perfectly good schmutz.
