trevor! i appreciate you soo much my dude! I am going to use those segmented measurements sometime!

Very nice! That brought back memories of building my stitch-n-glue Pygmy Arctic Tern-17 fifteen yrs ago (minus a skateboard deck). I still paddle it to this day, along with a 16 foot folding Oru kayak. Unfortunately Pygmy boats shut down during covid and never came back. I'd look toward Chesapeake Light craft if I were building another one.

Dude, that's amazing, well done! I appreciate how you included the learning opportunities, too! #keepingitreal

It looks so gooood! Man… filming stuff, especially time lapses, can be motivating to work quick but boy can it mess up the builds sometimes.

Too bad about focussing on making a vdeo instead of the task at hand. Not that I've ever done anything like that, right? Yeah, sure... Getting back to the process you were following in making the deck, what was your reason for not glassing the top of the deck before flipping it over to sand it, Andrew? That way you would have been assured of retaining the original shape. You and your skateboard projects😆

@AndrewSzeto

9 ай бұрын

ahh cheers marty! appreciate the feedback. so i was conversing with Otto Valinga, who had designed the boat and he had recommended glassing the bottom first. admittedly, it didn't fit back on top super well, but the reasoning is so that you can glass over the edge as well. it makes a decent amount of sense and i'm glad i did it, as it adds to the overall structural integrity. anyhow, only ever made a cedar strip canoe on a mold, and that process was much different. stoked guys like you point these things out. helps me think more critically :)

@AndrewSzeto

9 ай бұрын

also making a video is kinda super fun too and i am glad i did it. hopefully makes for watchable memories when i'm older.

could do without the part where you skateboard where you shouldn't for your pleasure or tube-likes; irresponsible and stupid risking life and limbs while degrading a public structure.
