When I saw one of Nick Schade's wooden kayak seats I had to make one for my kayak, it's a beautiful design. I reckon it would also make a great seat for a stool or chair. One thing I meant to mention in the video but forgot, was some of the grain of the wooden pieces running in opposite directions isn't ideal. As this seat will be fibreglassed it will be stabilised and wood movement won't be an issue.
Here's a link to Nick's plans guillemot-kaya...

The book provides clear illustrations kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO diagrams that cover many of the essential topics. The projects at the end of the book are valuable for enhancing your skills and creating your own furniture. A digital platform linked to the book that could offer the plans for other woodworking projects with the cut sheets would have been a nice addition, but overall, the book is excellent.

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

That seat looks so comfortable. beautiful work👍

[@Rouverius]

Gorgeous! The camphor laurel is a nice touch. Not only provides great contrast but a wink to all those other great projects you've shared with us.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks - I felt like I needed to add camphor laurel in the project somewhere. :)

[@TrotterG]

Now I know how to spell camphor laurel

[@juneritchie2498]

Beautiful! Contrast, contour, and construction - all 100% inspirational.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much June - glad you liked it! :)

[@katsbreez]

The curves and the inlays are gorgeous. Thanks for spraying with water so we could see what it will look like.

[@georgecunningham9175]

For some unfathomable reason I am more intrigued by this creation than I was by the kayak itself......and THAT video had me near spellbound. You are an amazing craftsman and creator, never failing to educate, inspire, and amuse. Thank you!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much George - glad you enjoyed the videos! :)

[@gordon6029]

Drainage holes! It’s beautiful man.

[@darrylbuckett5380]

Neil you are the You Tuber that everone else aspires too. Cheers from the West.

[@jeffreycloete852]

Wow..Mr Pask..I remember when you only had 200 000 subscribers..just checked and they are over 1 million..very impressive...CONGRATULATIONS!. .You have an innovative and creative approach to woodworking that is wonderful!

[@RuebenOtero]

What an honor for a piece of the kayak to join the Scrapwood Challenge. It's scrap, it's crap, it's kayak wood!

[@tumbleddry2887]

Not only an accomplished Woodworking Maker....but a skilled sculptor as well! Beautiful work!!!!

[@SceneArtisan]

Neil, your work makes Mathias Wandel's look like Heath Robinson's. That's definitely a compliment, just in case there was any doubt.

[@ModernRemade]

I hope you row with pinkies up because that is one fancy seat indeed! Beautifully done!

[@pjhalchemy]

Beautiful, functional Eye Candy for the soul, Neil. Outstanding carving work and the water highlight is stunning. I'd be afraid to put it in the water and ding it up. Looking forward to seeing it completed. Thanks Neil for all the tips, tricks and exemplary craftsmanship!!

[@ElectraFlarefire]

Glad to see you using and showing others the IPA/hot glue trick!

[@SethKotta]

Proof that five percent of a scrap wood challenge is better than no scrap wood challenge at all.

[@JimG31547]

Beautiful. Looking forward to seeing it in the Kayak

[@Vickie-Bligh]

What a lovely piece of sculpture. That's going to look so nice with your kayak. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Vickie - glad you like it! :)

[@NickSchade]

Making a stool from this seat design has been on my project list for a long time. You might get to it before I do.

[@PaskMakes]

You should do it it Nick - I'm not sure if I'll get to it but maybe. Thanks again for the design, it's a stunner and was fun to make! :)

[@Zogg1281]

Very nice, very nice indeed. I love how the plans call for multiple contoured pieces glued together and then shaped but you have the skills to make it from one big block. I'd live to have the skills you have, it would make life so much quicker and so much easier! Awesome video, I can't wait to see the finish Kayak 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Megadoculous]

Wow, great job. Neil, your carving skills are incredible. 👍

[@youtukang]

Thnks sir 😊😊👍

[@R.Craig.Collins]

Your patience still amazes me, and the final result is just gorgeous

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! :)

[@TheWingnut58]

What a beautiful finishing touch to another piece of wooden art! A maker?...sure A craftsman?.... absolutely An artist?..... without doubt sir, you are blessed

[@jamesa7506]

I like the way the grain runs and matches throughout the seat, very well done sir!

[@PaskMakes]

Glad you liked it James! :)

[@kzookid2051]

Wow, this is so beautiful. I can't wait to see the fiber-glassing and final assembly.

[@MarkusHamm-l4l]

I am really speechless! Wonderful work. Greatings from Germany

[@tonysutton6559]

Bugger, I was really looking forward to seeing the finish going on.

[@JasonPeltier]

Now you've got me thinking of making custom seats for farm tractors. There's a lot of people in my area who have show tractors and would probably love a nice custom wooden seat.

[@Farm_fab]

Neil, that seat would definitely look nice on a stool. Some time ago I bought a used counter stool from a scrap yard, and it was missing the seat. I went to another yard a few days later, and they had some bits and bobs of old tractor parts. I got the steel pan seat from that pile, and made an adapter to mount it on the stool. I plan to use it in my welding shop.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Bryant - your seat sounds cool. :)

[@Farm_fab]

@@PaskMakes with all those holes in it, I hope so. 😀 I know you didn't mean that kind of cool...

[@Farm_fab]

It's like a cabin in the state of Montana. The roof had many holes in it, and the caption on the picture said cabin has hot and cold running water hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It'll definitely be cool in the winter.

[@samanthadean1083]

Very classy, Neil!!! This is definitely going to be a higher end kayak!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Absolutely amazing project idea. This would also make a very nice shop stool. That's a Very beautiful design. Hopefully it's comfy for the long rides ahead. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.

[@youtukang]

👍😊

[@W4TRI]

Pask Makes Bum Bowl carving! Brilliant!

[@zTribalstylerz]

looking great! Thanks Neil

[@nenaelliott8058]

Your talent just keeps shining through. Just when I think I've seen it all you go and top yourself. It's beautiful.

[@youtukang]

😊👍

[@mhpjii]

This is not only real craftsmanship, Neil . . . _it's artistry._

[@negotiableaffections]

Always amazed at your projects, Neil but that is a real corker, art and style.

[@RogierYou]

The level of skill and experience is mind blowing

[@fcallum77]

Absolutely incredible craftsmanship. Every project you undertake always turns out perfectly!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Callum - I'm not sure they all turn out perfectly though. :)

[@wolfman2878]

Just beautifully done Neil.

[@davidpearce4037]

Very enjoyable videos to watch, nice to see a very skilled and talented carpenter at play, thank you for taking the time to share your videos

[@pauldubczuk2916]

Absolutely stunning craftsmanship!

[@KingMinhvuong]

Beautiful. Excellent work. Respect from U.S!

[@mikecolo2158]

That seat is stunning. I am enjoying the build of the kayaks immensely. Thank you for the video.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Mike - glad you're enjoying the videos! :)

[@TheVagineWhisperer]

Your hard work ethics and patience is pretty incredible

[@smithe53]

Just wow. I am constantly amazed by your patience and skill.

[@deathbyproxy2]

The results speak for themselves.. great great work, the contrast in timber jumps out and the completed boat was beautiful. Look forward to seeing yours finished...

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Iain! :)

[@mbeat28]

That’s gorgeous. It’d look great on a breakfast bar as well.

[@andersstrick]

You've made an impressive amount of sawdust here, accept my compliments ;) Apart of poking, the seat looks really lovely indeed!

[@youtukang]

👍👍😊

[@corinkayaker]

That’s so beautiful! I cannot wait to see the boat!!!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks mate! Back onto the kayak now! :)

[@rebeccajesse4604]

Such a fun video to watch! Seeing that seat come out of a block of wood is like watching magic! Great video! Can’t wait to see the finished project!

[@PaskMakes]

Glad you enjoyed it Rebecca - carving really is fun and amazing what can be formed from a solid block. :)

[@wburke1759]

Amazing. You never fail to amaze. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kevincasey2947]

Fugitive water will well in the seat. Drainage holes will help! Absolutely awesome video!

[@Tehcarp]

to drain deeper into the wooden kayak? Not sure that makes sense.

[@yeagerxp]

Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦

[@M88ULV]

Well done on hitting 1 million mate! Fully deserved. 🔥

[@clashofphish]

Your content is great. Nice to see something made that isn’t a table or cabinet. 😃

[@JohnnyRoads]

Absolutely beautiful!! Ugh I can't wait to start seriously woodworking

[@rlm98253]

Well done, sir.

[@tinkeringinthailand8147]

Such a fantastic job, you are a true artist :)

[@youtukang]

😊😊👍

[@mboutdoors_uk]

Outstanding as always Neil 👏🏼

[@tilenpodobnik641]

Insane, very nice seat

[@ronnieahman6958]

Wow, the seat looks fantastic. A masterpiece made by a Master.

[@LukeTheJoker]

That is truly beautiful.

[@thegentlemanmaker]

That’s really pretty, beautiful compound curves and great contrasts.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you! :)

[@tomim7187]

A seat worthy of such an epic build! Way to go, Neil!

[@pmchamlee]

Gorgeous! ( + functional)

[@jamescolombo6561]

A very nice job. I learned a lot. Thanks.

[@petermelnikov682]

I made the same seat from Nick's plans, it looks gorgeous once glassed and sprayed with 2k clear coat

[@harindergill7221]

Another Great video and outcome, Thanks. Can't wait to see the completed Kayak

[@steveievanc2437]

Yet again perfection personified ⚒️👌👍

[@paulheitkemper1559]

Beautiful work as always, Neil! Those woods really look good together, especially the way you laid out that pattern.

[@youtukang]

Yes sir 👍👍😊

[@philkieran7521]

Beautiful seat Neil

[@barryirby8609]

Fantastic! Not everybody's got one of those. !

[@bradleytuckwell4881]

Stunning job it’s going to look amazing when it’s all put together. Looking forward to seeing it in the water

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Brad! :)

[@andrejohnson6731]

1M subs!!! Congrats, well deserved!

[@egbluesuede1220]

I'll never build something like this, but I pick up a lot of techniques watching this as well as all your videos. I love how you approach a complicated piece and come up with methods to pull it off. I have similar tools and can apply the techniques to my projects. Not saying I have the same skill level, but I'll give it a go as you say!

[@TheMaria7001]

It’s so beautiful, I can’t wait to see the rest of this project

[@lancemillward1912]

a piece of art

[@viperman300]

I love it! I really can’t get enough of your work. Your skills are complete and the end results speak for themselves. It must be so fulfilling and you keep me going back to the shop with every video.

[@loucinci3922]

Turned out real nice. Thanks for sharing

[@DanKoning777]

I read many of the comments and saw nothing but positive remarks and rightfully so; the seat looks wonderful. The reason I read some of the comments was to see if anyone else commented regarding the overall thickness, and/or remaining strength of the wood towards the edges. This is merely an observation, not criticism since it's not clear how the seat is fitted into the kayak which is something that may make my observation a mute point. Again, the seat itself looks wonderful; well done.

[@corinkayaker]

It will get fiberglassed so the wood takes the place of foam in a surf board and strength is no issue.

[@-paulmp]

That is absolutely stunning... gorgeous work on this kayak.

[@elo6931]

Pask, you are MASTER!!!

[@tonyc.4528]

That's some gorgeous work, sir!!!

[@onlineda1]

Stunning Neil.

[@cheffrin3751]

10/10 absolutely stunning. Can't wait to see it finished!

[@razielthecorpse]

The kayak would've been handy with the recent floods, have a nice paddle across your property....

[@rentregagnant]

Wow! Beautiful work!

[@caleb98963]

Awesome! Magnificent! Oh my, what craftsmanship! Great job! Unique stuff right there Subscribed.

[@damomack7970]

Looks great mate

[@christopher.m.estelow]

Absolutely gorgeous Pask 🤤!! I love your attention to detail and it shines thru on your work!! Can't wait to see the finished kayak!! 👍👍

[@youtukang]

😊😊👍

[@CKDz]

Nice work as always. However, you may want to add some drain holes, so you don't have to sit in a puddle in case water gets in...

[@iordachej]

So easy now to use it as a template for creating more seats from fiber glass

[@RobertEchten]

Beautiful piece. Could stand on its own as a piece of art! As an aside, I never understood the front 'hump'. I would think men would prefer a bit of space there, instead of a piece of wood trying to share the space-time continuum with the kayaker's 'package' ;-)

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Robert! Know what you mean but that hump is pretty low. :)

[@JohnColgan.]

I think it's a balance thing. Allows 1 or both legs to tighten & press against panel to alter alignment of man & kayak

[@RobertEchten]

@@JohnColgan. That makes sense for a kayak seat, but the bulge shows up everywhere (bar stool, etc.). My guess is it started on saddles where the bulge would be around the shoulder blades/spine of the horse and it stayed from there as a 'feature' in 'manly' chairs, but I might be (and probably am) way off...

[@Crewsy]

That is absolutely beautiful Neil. I was going to say, “It the cat’s ass, or should I say the Pask’s ass.” BUTT I wasn’t sure if the “cat’s ass” saying would be understood in different areas. Sometimes my attempt at humour falls short of even Dad Joke level. 😁

[@fabiorfg]

Absolutely stunning seat! I really can't wait to see the kayak ready! 👏🏼😍🔥

[@awldune]

Looks amazing!

[@pabloenriquetirabassi7060]

Surprising, it is a true beauty and how much work! I have already subscribed.😮😍👐👏👏👏

[@ianvicedomini2648]

It looks amazing Neil. Seeing the different ways you use your band saw is always making me envious. Just a few days ago my wife brought me a band saw which is a brilliant tool so I've got to start getting experimental now 😆 great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SparrowStockwell]

That’s really nice looking!

[@sdcofer52]

Very nice piece of work old bean. Have you considered a couple of holes to let the water drain out?
