Finally found your video again. I was a bit lost when your website shut down, as I allways tell people to watch your video when they ask my advice on carving a paddle. Thanks for the video, it helped me out a lot when i was carving my first paddles, im sure it will help out lots more!

Beautiful job, and your explanations on how to use the tools and work on the finish are excellent Matt. Thanks for a great video!

Excellent video Matt. greatly appreciated from Lismore NSW Australia

Brilliant Matt, got some cedar last week and followed your directions. I now own a beautiful greenland paddle and saved some money as well. Thanks

This was great, thank you. I followed your steps and the PDF and I'm coming along nicely. I ordered a draw knife to do the final carving as I think it will be easier to do the inside cuts (as you mention - why you use the sureform tool).

Matt, I just finished my first paddle, your video was extremely helpful. Thanks for such a great explanation of the carving your clear instructions were soooo beneficial!!!

Matt, Excellent presentation, process, and finished product. I really enjoyed your talking through the why and what of your calculations and measurements, it helps provide a fuller understanding of the project.

Intuitive and inspirational video...nice to know that something this beautiful and FUNCTIONAL can be made with simple wood, simple tools, and some patient craftsmanship...thank you for sharing this knowledge!!!

Your video was very helpful, especially with the measuring and math. After making one for myself, I made 2 more for my parents' Christmas gifts. Thanks!

currently working on my own greenland paddle and using your video to get it done . Thanks Matt super video

Matt, great video! Thank you

Great video Matt! I desire starting to work wood by making my own greenland paddle, you give me the curage! thanks a lot!

Great video. Thanks for your time.

Nice video. Little tip - when you're shaping the paddle blades - clamp your work so you can work with both hands and the piece is stable, and rather than take short strokes with the plane, work instead along the whole length of the paddle blade with long steady strokes and shorter ones only to correct a necessary.

Many thanks for the video, followed it and the instructions to build my dads 70th b'day present, he was very pleased. If can do it anyone can. The spokeshave is now my favorite tool, although I did cheat and buy a power plane as it was taking an age to whittle down the red cedar. Happy days

Still useful and brilliant, thanks.

Thanks for a clear and concise video. I was just about to start a paddle, you answered many questions. I appreciate the help !

Very nice. I wish I could work a plane as well as you.

Carving my first GP with WRC. Awesome video, thanks for the tips!

You're welcome. Glad it helped.

This is sensational! Great video.

This has inspired me to have a go! Fantastic video

Great Video. Thanks for putting it together.

Thanks. You make it look so easy.

Amazing! Im doing it!

Awesome work! Thanks for showing us how to do it.

Really well done video. Thank you for your presentation.

Very well explained and limited use of tools. By the way, if you have a high grade jigsaw, the cuts will be very straight. The blade is wiggly on cheaper ones. If you use larger width blades this is partially corrected.

Great Matt! What is the name and number (size) of the tool used to spend wood?

It seems easy. Except the inches, i'll look for metric system plans.

Very good video! Did you say what kind of wood you used here?

Wonderful! Any thoughts on how to add extra protection to the tips? Maybe hard-plastic caps? A few coats of epoxy/resin?

Glad it helped!

Good job man!!!!!!

Much thanks!

Thanks for this very clear video :)

Great video, very helpful! I hope to make my own paddle soon. At 14 minutes, the cause for using metric units becomes very obvious. 😊

Thanks!

Appreciate sooo much! I;d love to use same tools as you. Woud you share names of them?

what the hell awesome paddles awesome s*** awesome everything

Hey Matt great video. btw it looks like the link to the instructions is broken. Are the plans still available to download?

what kind of wood did you use? looks like southern yellow pine I'm making a paddle now, out of and old cedar fence post i took out of the ground last year

Thanks for the video. Where are the plans available from.

You're welcome.

Hi Matt!

Matt, thanks for this video!! unfortunately it seems the PDF is not available anymore. Maybe you could upload it somewhere?

Mix the tung oil with the polyurethane and turps making a home made danish oil. Or just buy ready made danish oil..

Link no longer works for 2nd source?

hey!

never set a plane down on the sole, it dulls the iron, always lay them on their sides.

Were can i get the plans, their no available on the website?

Hi ! Can you tell me from where you download the plane for this paddle?

It would be so much easier to use metric measurements.

Have you made any for wider and taller SOT fishing barges..er.. yaks?

unos dos tres Quatro Sinko ch it or no shoot photo C

Out of curiosity..what is the finished weight of that paddle Thanks

It's so beautiful! I just want to stroke it, I wouldn't want to use it ;) how long did it take to make?

👍👍👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺
