Canoe made from a single giant log - by hand

The fact that boats were once made from solid wood is no secret. The question is what size is the trunk and how to do it all. And the dimensions of the “log” are impressive: to make the canoe, “lumber” was brought on a hefty timber truck. If you look at the trunk, you immediately remember the film about Robinson Crusoe and somehow you slowly begin to understand: it will take more than one month to turn this tree into something floating with sides. If, of course, you do everything manually and alone, as shown in the video from the Quantum Tech HD channel.


What do we see there? Some guy, who apparently desperately needed a boat, hollows out the vessel with a small hatchet. True, first he peeled off the bark, and then began to use the achievements of civilization - a chainsaw. But even with its use, the idea looks dubious. However, everything is done “according to science” - apparently, the master has considerable experience in creating such vehicles.

Measurements are being taken: this is probably how the proportions of the ship are calculated. What else did this man use to build a nice canoe in a relatively short time? In order not to tire the viewer, the shooting takes place in an accelerated but real mode. Do you want to watch the process and learn its intricacies? Watch the video - who knows, maybe it will come in handy!
