'FlyPly' - How to build a 'tortured ply' canoe in 6 minutes!

[timsatch]

That was amazing. Probably the best 6 minutes I have spent on YouTube against the millions wasted.
Thank you.

Little I respect or appreciate more than competent craftsmen. Well done.

Both impressed and depressed with/by the orderliness and cleanliness of that shop.

Oh yeah; the boat building was on point, too.

Ten out of ten for the canoe plus a star for the good videography.

This takes the meaning of woodcore to a whole other level. And no stitch and glue either. Very inspiring, congratulations with the result too!

[CurtSlaten]

That was fantastic to watch. I've built some wood strip canoes, but I've never seen anything like this. Really amazing work.

A hundred dollars of wood, a thousand dollars of clamps and a million dollars of experience.

[rossmilner]

This is inspiring ! Couldn't take my eyes away for a second.

I really thought this was going to be clickbait, but that is amazing!

You have people building stuff and you have people know how too build stuff. Wauw!! One sheet of wood never know it was possible. Really nice....

Absolutely magnificent. The cuts remind of the ancestor the birch canoe.
The good old compounded plywood, a delicious method that asks for steel nerves and good eyeball techniques. This method needs first rate marine 3 mm plywood with 3 plies of the same thickness thus you get 2/3 of the wood fibers in the length and the only 1/3 in the core at 90 degrees so you can ploy with patience, hot water and sometimes steam. I made one 20 feet catamaran Tornado this way, only 135 kg in 4.2 mm selected okoume plywood and several catamarans 18 m2 (18 feet long, 10 feet wide, mast 31 feet) at less of 100 kg ready to sail; the best with carbon fiber beams was at 93 kg.
The Gougeon bros made several race trimarans and catamarans in 6 mm around 30 to 35 feet long. A few Class C catamarans hulls were made this way, as Yellow Pages.

thats just perfect, it looks like a great summer project, brilliant folding method.

This takes me back! My pa and I built an Ottersports K2 Kayak in 1967. I was sixteen. Very different build operation. Came in a kit. Great fun. Needless to say the old man did most of it. Thanks for sharing this, great to watch.

Such a wonderfull product!! Super to see. Whising you many paddling hours. Greatings from a Dutch canoe enthousiast!

A Canoe around 28 pounds, rather impressive. a pretty ingenious approach to boat building to say the least.

[heikkianttila]

Wonderful!
Been eyeing Flo Mo's plans for years. Great that people build them. Yours looks like a super successful one with very little kinks.

[Yorkshiremadmick]

Fantastic and made to look simple and effortless. Anything but.
Beautiful craft.

[KWHCoaster]

Beautiful canoe!! I'm glad it was left in the clear resin. My father's 16ft frame & strip and canvas canoe weighs a LOT more then 13kg.

[bobjones]

Wow, I’d like you to do an instructional series with explanations and supply list. I’d bet a whole bunch would start building. Thanks for the entertaining video.

[ArbyCreations]

Wow that came out looking amazing! the design is just so much better than a lot of similar plywood canoes.
