Fools who burn luxury cars and call themselves YOutubers have an audience of tens of millions. A clever man who does breathtakingly beautiful work has an audience in the thousands. The world is upside down. Your video is inspiring and caressed my soul. I wish you a lot of success.

After watching many canoe builds on UKposts, you by far are the neatest and most precise with your build and also had the least amount of wastage. Hands down the best canoe builds I've seen. A absolute pleasure to watch, thank you.

That's the most beautiful canoe I've ever laid eyes on! Thank you!

Required: a shop, lots of shop tools, experience and patience. This is a work of art.

Это просто фантастика! Какая филигранная и скрупулезная работа. Глаз нельзя отвести, не только от процесса, но и от результата. Восхищаюсь мастерством этих мужчин.

I’ve always wanted to build a strip canoe, but after seeing all the skills you applied to this work of art, I’m not sure I could pull that off. What workmanship!

Congratulations on the wonderful work, simply a show. A work by a true artist! God blesses!

Ridiculously awesome. The time spent on each piece and every detail… a masterpiece

There is something tremendously satisfying about witnessing a craftsman make something so beautiful, especially if like this canoe it's useful. Thank you! After a lifetime spent being the best doctor I can be, thinking I was doing some good, I have come to the realisation: If you have not spent as much of your time on this Earth as possible in the worthy pursuit of crafting satisfying and useful things with your hands you have wasted your life.

Although canoeing and kayaking for the better part of 50 years, I have only watched recreational boat-building on the net for about ten to a dozen years. I can honestly say that this build was the most magnificent! Thoroughly professional, master-craftsmanship skills employed from start to finish and beyond expected with handmade metal hardware. Bravo sir; a phenomenal accomplishment!

Let's hope that these great skills of individuals will never be lost despite social developments. There is simply no substitute for this kind of craftmanship. Awesome!

Gorgeous !

Respect. Beautifully done. Amazing craftsmanship. Priceless

That was amazing, great craftsmanship. You give a very clear, very very real insight into what you are getting into, super inspiring with just a little terror. Many thanks from NB.

Absolutely beautiful!!

Beautiful, thank you for sharing.

Beautiful canoe, stunning craftsmanship. It is a work of art!

Great video, loads of good ideas, especially liked the block of wood on the sander tick.

Pure craftsmanship. Amazing!

how you did that from memory is incredible by itself.

Mr. Bachman, thank you for sharing this video. It is very inspiring, I've wanted to build a cedar strip canoe for far too long. I've watched your video at least 5 times. Maybe if I watch it a hundred more I'll muster up the courage to take this project on!! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. Workmanship, filming, attention to detail and final product, all wonderful...

Watching first timers take on entry level projects is inspirational.

Wahnsinn! Das ist kein Handwerk mehr, das ist schon Kunst. Jedes Kanu ein Da Vinci👌🏼

Absolutely enjoyable to watch this craftsman at work creating a beautiful work of art.

Amazing build. Lots of great techniques on each part. Thanks for sharing these details. She looks amazing on the water.

great skills with the tools, and nice shop.

Beautiful work 👏

That is a work of art 👍🏼 You sir are a craftsman of the highest caliber.

Lovely build Andre, and nice video too! I've built several and mine are pretty, but yours is prettier. I caned my seats with yellow/tan plastic caning (per Gilpatrick's book) and they're very comfortable. After 30 years of hard use I had to rebuild my first canoe, but not the seats. Thanks for taking the time to film and share this with us!

Beautiful workmanship and a gorgeous result! Thanks so much for showing this to us.

Absolutely loved watching the craftsmanship and was inspired and motivated when i saw you using the same tools i have in my shop, down to the blue staedtler led pen. Great job!

Can’t believe this has any thumbs down at all. May be the greatest build I’ve ever seen 1 man produce with his own 2 hands.

Beautiful , deserves to be hung in an art gallery

Absolutely loved watching this. I hope to make one of my own one day. Thank you.

OMG, what a pleasure to see a master at his craft producing a true work of art! I love canoes and the wooden ones just call me to the paddle and the water, always! Thanks so much for sharing the fantastic lessons included in the video as well. Cheers for beers!

A real work of love and art!

Man, it's so much fun watching this process. Thanks for sharing.

Omg ...what a specialist he is...amazing ..love the bent part

Very beautiful! I built a 15’ Bob’s Special a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the process. Wish I had put the end flotation compartments in mine like you did. Again, fantastic job, a real masterpiece.

Beautiful video, great work.

Amazing craftsmanship! Beautiful canoe.

Мастеру за терпение и труд - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

The craftsmanship and detail is a joy to watch

Amazing work and craftsmanship. Wish we had more of this.

awesome build

Spectacular!!!!! Bravo!!!!!!!

That was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! AMAZING skill and craftsmanship!

one of the best videos ive seen. hypnotic, great work

Wow. That boat is ridiculously stunning. Amazing work!

A work of Art !!! I am impressed with your quality work. Thanks for sharing.

That was a joy to watch the idea for different aspects of the build enjoy to see on the water. Brendan IRL

I'd get finished with this, then be too terrified to use it. Then buy another mass produced canoe and get in trouble with my wife. Outstanding effort in craftsmanship and additionally, the effort made to video AND edit this long term construction effort. Thank you so much for doing all of this, Andre.

This is beautiful canoe!!!!

I am giving a thumbs up before I even see the video just because of the Beauty of that boat!

Despite the delay... I am highly appreciative of your attention to detail, your steady and focused work, and how you bring your vision to life. You are a high craftsman! I was raised partly in north-middle Minnesota in the mid-1950s (the lake district, due east of Fargo-Morehead). Cedar strip canoes and boats were the kings of the lakes, and outboard motors were just coming on the market, so you rarely heard one. The quiet beauty of a sunrise on the lake in a [cedar strip] canoe was and is still... priceless. Thank you for sharing your superb craftsmanship!

Isso e uma obra de arte.

Absolutely beautiful work and craftmanship.

Perfect 🎨

Wow, amazing build and really well put together video. You deserve WAY more subscribers!

Absolutely, brilliant wood working skills on your canoe build. Congratulations. The video was done so well. I’m 55 and two things I’ve wanted to do since I was a teenager was have a Sawmill and build a cedar strip canoe. Well time is running out, lol. I started building my bandsaw mill which I will use to mill the lumber on my 100 acres to build my canoe. Watching your videos and others are so inspiring and helpful to me reaching a life long goal. God bless you and your talents, Sir.

Beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful work!

Muito bonito! Faz bem à alma assistir a este vídeo. Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho, e muito obrigado.

Beautiful craftsmanship work

Sir, that is literally a masterpiece and work of art! Equally as beautiful as any wall painting and much more enjoyable, because it floats!! Thanks for sharing your craft!

The Best! Que belo trabalho amigo, é incrível e admirável assistir você produzir essa obra de arte. Um abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷

What a beautiful work of art! You, sir, have the talent and skills that are sorely missing in today's world. The care and craftsmanship you have shown is a brilliant example of the way things should be done! Thank you so much, sir!

Magnificent! Thank you for sharing this piece of art.

Absolutely gorgeous Canoe!

For the time involved in this hand-made project, this would need to be a $100K canoe.

Outstanding work, I just wonder how it will hold up without nails. Never saw one done this way. Just beautiful.

OUTSTANDING.

Absolutely beautiful!! Fantastic craftsmanship!!

Ainda vou tentar fazer uma dessas para mim, nos aqui no Brasil não vemos este tipo de canoa não, que alias são as mais linda que já vi.Alias aqui no brasil também temos muito Lagos, rios e principalmente mar. Espero conseguir fazer a minha, sei que a curva do aprendizado será grande para isso, mais vou chegar la!!! Obrigado pelo vídeo e vocÊs acaba de angariar mais um inscrito para o canal.

Fantastic job! You make it look too easy! Thankyou for the video. I've got the plans for a 15 foot Bob's special and am gearing up to build this winter. I am practically your neighbor (Spruce Grove) and am having a challenge finding clear Western Red Cedar and Yellow Cedar. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Harvey

Wow, amazing, beautiful, thank you!

Very Sweet! Wonderful~~

Gorgeous work of art.Loved seeing new tools married with the old and the attention to detail and patience shown!!
