You are certainly a productive human. Not one but two channels. Also, build a boat and film it! Not many humans achieve this, well done. I wish you huge life success.

My dad was gifted one by his father in about 1972. Still sits next to the McKenzie river, occasionally gets used.

Oh my god these drift boats are so FOCKIN' cool! Excellent vid!

[natgeonopoulos]

very cool! as a carpenter i am truly jealous of that workshop, nice build !

[grapeape-hxjj]

I enjoy watching craftsman build. Excellent work, sir!

Simply amazing! Can you imagine back in the day when they used to make ships and boats with no power tools, no nails, no screws, no epoxy, not much of anything. I realize people still build smaller boats using mostly the same methods for fun, or in restorations, but damn, with everything you had to work with it only took 5 minutes to throw that together! Amazing what you can do with today’s technology and a master woodworker at the helm! Great job!

Excellent . I built a Don Hill boat in 2003. Met the man and got the plans from him. Great drifter. been thinking of building another. Still have the plans.Enjoy that boat. Nothing rows like a wooden drift boat.

Nice boat . When I was in Colorado, Idaho, and Wyoming I saw a lot of drift boats used for fishing tours. Greetings from south east Alabama USA ☮️❤️

Dad said, if you ever see any long ash ores, buy them for me. I bought pair ores at Friday Harbor San Juan Island Marina. Next time I saw dad, after giving him this long pair of ores, next time I see him, he had this drift boat built to match ores!

That titanic moment at the end? I cried a little.

[rosscasemore]

That is awesome! You should be very proud of what you built.

[jeffreywolcott]

Love the build. I built one many years ago with epoxy and peanut butter and a solid floor. But I really love the classic design much better. I didn't see a fly pole though.

Belo barco! Parabéns! Saudações Náuticas aqui do Brasil! 😜👍🆒

I built one from a Tatman kit 35 years ago. It's a lot of fun/work.
