Guy Builds A Canoe In His Garage
Click to unmute
Oregon-based craftsman Adam Koekkoek, aka “A Guy Doing Stuff” has built a canoe in his own garage, and anyone would love to paddle in it. Its beautiful design makes you really appreciate the 800 hours that Adam has put into the project. “I’m not a professional boat builder,” he said. “I’m just a guy with basic woodworking knowledge who wanted to build a wooden boat.” Adam has used cedar, ash, and walnut wood to make the canoe. The total cost of materials was around $1,500, and the boat weighs around 60-70 lbs. The craftsman claims he would not have even started the project if it wasn’t for the book Canoecraft, and recommends both the read, and the cedar strip to anyone that wants to attempt building a canoe. “Cedar strip canoe is the best type of canoe available in every way <…>. It’s a super-fun long-term project, they’re by far the most beautiful type of canoe, they’re extremely lightweight, and they’re surprisingly very strong.”

So beautiful work! How satisfying it must be to step in your masterpiece and ride it...
Indeed it is so, but I wouldn't want to launch my precious baby into muddy, filthy water 😁

Sure, it looks easy when YOU do it. I'd be in tears halfway through the first day.
Amazing work! Its so beautiful that you took the extra time and effort to put the pattern in too.
Wow!! You may not be a "master boat craftsman", but I think only in your mind! That is a gorgeous piece of work my friend!
Personally I think my Nighthawk Pegasus ultralight kevlar and carbon fiber is far better than a cedar strip. Freaking gorgeous too. But making it yourself is always fun.
Incredible work. You've got a gift for woodworking. Not many would attempt such a thing. Well done.
This is absolutely beautiful and I love the little details and designs.
Garage? Well technically he built it in his garage, bathroom and driveway. Nicely done!
Amazing ! But we really don't have the same meaning of "basic woodwork" :D
Stunning! The canoe will be a treasure to pass down for generations!
OMG THIS IS AWESOME I CANT DRAW OR CUT A STRAIGHT LINE OR CUT STUFF AT ALL LIKE THAT THIS IS JUST BOSS?!??!??
