  I&apos;ve wanted to build a cedar strip kayak for over ten years and I say every year &quot;I&apos;ll do it this year&quot;. When I mentioned it to Corin he was super keen so we started to plan it. We only had 2 weeks which stretched a couple of days over that and I milled the timber before hand. Even though I think we did very well and had a great time. We didn&apos;t manage to finish mine but I&apos;m keen to get to it soon and I still need to work out whether to finish the deck with kumiko or not. I&apos;m really unsure how to make it into another video without covering what we&apos;ve already shown but I&apos;ll have a think about it and see what I can work out.<br><br>If you interested in building a kayak yourself then check out Nicks channel which shows how to build a kayak in far more detail than what we&apos;ve shown in this video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/NickSchade">https://www.youtube.com/c/NickSchade</a><br><br>And here&apos;s the link to the plans we used <a href="https://guillemot-kayaks.com/catalog/strip-built/sea-kayak-recreational-kayak-solo/petrel-play">https://guillemot-kayaks.com/catalog/strip-built/sea-kayak-recreational-kayak-solo/petrel-play</a><br><br>Check out Corin&apos;s Instagram here and feel free to contact him <a href="https://www.instagram.com/corin_at_gameco/">https://www.instagram.com/corin_at_gameco/</a><br><br>A big thanks to Darcy at Mooloo Timbers for his help. He has all sorts of interesting timber and ships across Australia.

  With phrases like “very achievable”, “fairly straightforward”, &quot;sounds difficult but really isn&apos;t&quot; and “not too difficult” scattered throughout the video, I think that you are being extremely modest. The craftsmanship of the final product is incredible, and is a testament to your skills. Well done!

  &apos;Not quite, but that was the plan&apos; has to be the most Australian subtitle I&apos;ve ever seen.

  That brush 90 degrees on the stick is high tech ingenuity 😂😂 &nbsp;Wonderfully done kayak build! &nbsp;The wood is beautiful. I’m currently working to build one but am going to try a fiberglass/carbon fiber reinforcement.

  Love the statement you made at the end; &quot;It&apos;s a very achievable project, it&apos;s just lots of small doable steps.&quot; &lt;- That statement is pretty much true with everything. Every time I watch your show I get a feeling of inspiration. I vote for the Kumiko deck on yours. I believe it would be dynamite!

  All I can think about is the crocodile now gets his food delivered with toothpicks

  This is just beautiful! &nbsp;When I was a young girl, I helped my dad build a canoe in this similar style and it will always stay with me.

  The way it slices through the water with very little wake is very satisfying.
