Review this video!
Now you can watch as they build a canoe, starting with setting up the forms, laminating the stems, stripping the hull, and fairing it out. Each step is described in detail with lots of close ups to give you great detail. If you are considering building a Cedar Strip boat or just want to hone your skills for the next one, this is an incredible tool!
(about 75 minutes)
In this video you will look over their shoulders as they describe their hull preparation techniques, apply the sealer coat, cloth coat and then filler coats of epoxy. We discuss the purpose of the application materials we supply and review safety procedures. Three days of intense filming were edited to 78 minutes of extremely valuable information. They show you the fiberglass wet-out of the outer hull of a kayak and the inner hull of a canoe. They cut some cloth on a bias and show how it will wrap right around some very severe bends. They discuss the advantages of blush-free MAS Epoxy and how to use the long cure times to your advantage. If you have never wet-out fiberglass, this video will help you get the best possible results by showing you the techniques that work.

Tremendous video. Great quality DVD picture. Filmed and narration is first rate. I wish I has this when I built my first cedar strip canoe last year. Great tips and techniques that they share from their years of experience. There is even a section on tool sharpening at the end. I like how they stress the importance of using good sharp hand tools. I like their idea of making the football bottom first; using washer head screws instead of drywall screws for the mold setups and stem glue up. I loved this video. I only wish they showed how they make the prepare the cedar strips. They do not. This is one I would will buy for my library. I am going to rent their video #2 of Fiberglassing now.
Both DVDs in this series added valuable new info to the scope of their coverage over what had been previously available. I've been building boats for several years, and still got significant value from each disc.
If you have strip built before you might only come away with some new methods of work. But, if you are new to the process this dvd will clear up any confusion in almost any area. No shaky camera, bad lighting, or any of the other hazards of amateur filming are found here. A little humor and excellent narration make this an educational and entertaining experience. Now I have to rent their dvd on fiberglassing the boat!
