From Tree to Boat, Watch me Float

This video is about making my pirogue. I made it during my vacation in the wild forest from a pine tree fallen during a big storm a few years back.

Max, don't ever think that your videos are underrated....not at all, you can make a 10 hour video, and every minute would be supreme, my friend!

[@peterparsons7141]

What is interesting is how ALL things evolve. For instance my people are from remote place in Canada. Similar climate to what you have. What is interesting is that many of the solutions that you use are variations of solutions people use globally. The boat that you built takes design-of a boat from a remote place in Namibia ?, or similar remote place. Those boats are similar,(but different,lol), that boats the native people of northern Canada have been building since time for humans began! They evolution is interesting because it is an inside look at how human thinking works.

You, sir, are the most innovative, creative, intelligent, and hard-working human being I've ever encountered. To be able to make a great video is wonderful. To be able to plan and execute such a complicated task in such a primitive environment BY YOURSELF is beyond belief. The fact that one man can do both, and present this project to the world in such an interesting and informative fashion defines you as completely unique. Thank you for everything you do to bring us your treasure!

@Advoko Are you familiar with Windsor chairs? They are beautiful and strong. I recommend Curtis Buchanan's channel over other Windsor chair channels for the level of instruction. However, he uses conical tennons for legs into the seat. I recommend cylindrical. Conical makes it easier to correct the angle as the hole is being reamed but makes a connection that loosens.

[@Turbo_Tastic]

The undisputed genius of the woods and bushcraft. This is completely at a higher level than any other outdoorsman's channel.

[@bondvagabond42]

Another great video! Im a wooden boat builder for my day job, a couple tricks I use that might help you: kerfing is a way to joint boards together with a saw, rather than a plane. You gently clamp boards edges together, then saw down the uneven gap between them, it only removes wood where the boards touch, allowing you to then push the boards closer together, and you can repeat several times if needed to get a perfectly fitted joint, and can be done when you are too exhausted to do a nice job with a jointing plane. The other tip is if you tip your plane slightly on the return stroke, your plane blade will stay sharp much longer. There is an ancient recipe for a boat finish called "boat soap" or "boat sauce" it is just pine tar, bees wax, and linseed oil. You heat it in a can inside of a pot of boiling water, you rub it on hot, let it dry for a bit, and it will seem like a sticky mess, but you polish it with a dry rag, and it brings the wax to the surface, leaving a nice surface that is as pretty as varnish, but it wont crack wnd trap water underneath, causing rot like varnish, and the pine tar is very rot preventative. If you are building a wood boat in the woods, instead of in a fancy shop with a steam box, and you worry your boards will crack when you bend them, you can pour boiling water on the most extreme bend and it will help a lot. Thanks again for making so many great videos, i like doing similar projects, and i am disabled with MS, so sometimes i feel too sick to do much, and its fun to watch someone else's projects on those days.

[@benlucy941]

From a fellow woodworker in North America, the video was wonderful,enthralling, just amazing. I can not believe what you are doing with so little tools. In North America, at our latitude, we have such a different type of forest with a mixture of just a few softwoods, but many many hardwoods. I think that we have 200 different oak species alone. We have a southern yellow pine that sometimes will become wind blown and lay on the forest floor for years with a preserved heart wood, but typically the available useful wood - even thought the tree in total might be 2 feet or more in diameter, the unrotted heart wood would be very small but thick with preserved sap and extremely aromatic- and combustible. In this sad time , I wish that we all were building beautiful boats in a peaceful spot in a beautiful locale as you are. Thank you for sharing this wonderful story.

[@vdmaker9662]

Excellent video, my friend. Also shows many of us new techniques to use if we ever need to work off grid. Here in the US I have always had the luxury of using factory made equipment, but your application of hand made clamping procedures are quite informative. I know mankind has used these techniques for centuries, but modern conveniences have caused us to forget many time-tested applications. Thanks again - enjoy life!

[@josephmoodie4970]

Soaking the dowels in water for 12-24 hours works great. If you take them straight from soaking in water they have expanded and after you pound them into the holes they will hold very tight and strong. You could also make pine tar by rendering and or do both,soak in water and use tree resin. You can steam boards to bend then better.

So thankful to see you despite the world's craziness. You are a breath of fresh air. Thankyou and praying you and yours stay safe❤

Max, I'm sure most of us wonder how you manage to build these projects in such a short time frame, and let us not forget you're slowing yourself right down self-filming. I hope you find a good hiding place for this baby, and let good people make good pirogues!

Great to see another video! Was starting to worry.

Thank you for putting in the extra effort to record your free time project, edit it, and provide many helpful comments, all to share it with the world.

It's a joy to watch you work. Your videos are fantastic, the amazing pieces and projects, the soft-spoken commentary, and the sheer work ethic. And this is your vaction!? Well done, sir.

Yes, I am in process of filming the part 2 of that video. Stay tuned))

[@bakedpt502]

@@Advoko Also, there is absolutely no need to apologize for showing us some of your "personal" time! You are, as the comments show - an interesting person with a wealth of knowledge and skills. I am sure I am not alone when I say - please do show us more! When you pulled out that sauna, I genuinely thought - "Is there nothing this man can't do or MacGyver himself?!". Your free-hand milling technique (as well as the cord/string cutting jig) has been such a useful thing for me, and I'd imagine for many others - so thank YOU, Max!

I was mesmerized by the ingenuity shown on your project. I just had to watch to the end.

[@featherstonable]

THANK you for this sentence. It sums up the video for me, it also allows me to notice similar moments I experience in my life, and to add higher quality and value to them. Very important to stand by our sense of satisfaction when we feel it. "Sitting on a warm rock, near the largest lake in Europe, listening to the splash of the surf, looking at the product of my efforts. It's almost insane to wish for anything else. If I were to describe this moment in one word; then I would chose the word 'appeasement'." Again, thank you for this video! I loved it.

[@waterisgold]

We've missed you ✨💛👋🫶 your skills are amazing

[@feverdream8955]

I have been wondering about you, max! I’m happy to see you post again, you are one of my favorite channels. Thanks!

[@Advoko]

Thank you for such a high praise!

[@alfbittner6489]

It's been some time since I've enjoyed one of your videos, to see how you adapt a traditional African boat, using native European wood has been more than educational. Your self taught wood working techniques certainly get results. I'm addicted to a world wide phenomenon television series called Alone where contestants are sent into the wilderness with 10 items for survival and the last remaining wins. Only 3 have made boats, which helped them to harvest fish. You would do well at this. Keep up the good work.

[@anzicek]

Excellent work Max, thank you for the quality content! I am always thrilled to see a new upload from you. I am glad to see you are still going to your amazing place in the woods.

[@justinvanwijk716]

Thank you for bringing us on another vacation!

[@NeurosenkavalierEmilSinclair]

Love that you referenced Robinson Cruesos boat building attempt - it's my favourite book from childhood, but I have tod admit, you would put Robinson to shame - if you ever land on a lonely island, you would have no problem at all to live a comfortable life 😂

[@brianhanley2933]

Watching your videos have made me a better woodworker. Coming up with ideas and solutions to problems and wanting to be a better outdoorsmen. Thank you.
