I bought Nick Offerman's canoe building DVD even though I have no intention of building a canoe. I'm just a big fan of him and Jimmy DiResta

Beautiful. Congratulations!
humblewordsmith
I was so worried that it would sink when finally launched. Superb work!!
punchedInTheJeans
I was actually sad when I got to the end and the journey finished
SlickerThanNick
You finished the outside. Then you flipped it over and I completely forgot you had to sand and epoxy that too! Looks great!

Something something Ron Swanson.

I -literally- saw the first picture, then wildly scrolled down to see if there was a Ron Swanson reference

Nick Offerman made a video tutorial for a canoe company after ordering a cedar plank kit, parts of it are on YouTube.
smashpro1
And he wrote a book titled "Paddle Your own Canoe".
SpaceFucker
Truth, I still need to get a copy.
MyPatronusIsANargle
it's cuz he soaked his wood in logs
houndofcullen
That is a thing of beauty. Well done!
pickleticklee
That's dope. 5/7
ohdaniels
I'd agree on the 5/7 rating actually. Yes, it looks great for a first attempt, but it's riddled with little mistakes.7/7 will do again

Experince is a wonderful teacher
inventingdreams
Is this the Hiawatha?
ohdaniels
Yes! good catch.
imakeshit
Legit question how did you do the epoxy outdoors without getting blemishes? I always had little bits of dust fuck my shit up!
ohdaniels
the truth is, we still had little bits of dust fuck our shit up. gnats in particular liked to kamikaze into the wet epoxy
PolkaBrat
How much did the canoe end up weighing?
ohdaniels
I'd guess around 60-65lbs.
imakeshit
YEA MAN! FUCK! I could never get it perfect! I did surfboards, similar process.
canuckmaplesyrup

IronMansRightHand
