I needed a paddle for the kayak I'm building and I also needed a new video so that's this video and next I'll try and finish the kayak.
You can find Nick Schade's plans for a paddle here guillemot-kayaks.com/catalog
Also Nick has a series on making a paddle with much more detail than I've shown, you can find that here / watchv=fbg6vimbhtu&lis...

  • The sort of great paddle that a kayak like yours deserves. As a belt and braces man I would have been tempted to give the shaft a layer of fibreglass to reinforce the joint but you know what you're doing better than me.

  • Hey Pask, just want to say, you're probably one of the best woodworkers on youtube in terms of skills and you have a great sense of esthetics. I've always enjoyed your videos but man, you should wear a mask during your sanding sessions, those fine sanding dust will take a toll on your lung at some points.

It was the kind with a cardboard tube and a slip on rubber handle you squeeze to manage tension, but the handle kept falling off, so it got tossed. The Paddle look brilliant!

    • Acoustic guitar heads are usually attached to the neck with a scarf joint similar to that, with no reinforcement at all. The strings put around 200lbs (90kg) of constant force on that joint. It's surprisingly strong.

    • @@ChadHadsell // The fact is, most guitars including acoustic guitars will have a metal rod running down the center of the neck; a "truss rod." Typically the only ones w/o that needed support are the classical acoustics b/c they use nylon strings vs metal, so as a rule all guitars with metal strings will have a truss rod. If not you'd have a lot of "broken necks" out there. :)
