Do-it-yourself boat "Dolblenka" according to grandfather technology

Do-it-yourself boat
Dear visitors of the site, from the presented material you will learn how do it yourself you can make a boat for yourself "Dollenka". For which only natural material is used, namely a tree of soft breed, for example willow or aspen. The tree is pre-selected straight and without branches, as well as the thickness of the trunk will be responsible for the displacement of the future vessel.

This technology for creating boats is very ancient and was passed down from generation to generation, from Father to son, today it is almost forgotten, but still there are "Craftsmen - well done" on Russian Land!

Let's look at what exactly the author would need to build a boat? And also consider all the stages and see the movie (Cut yourself a boot).

Materials
1. a tree of soft breed (willow, aspen)

Instruments
1. chainsaw
2. hacksaw
3. ax
4. tesla
5. jointer
6. fire source (blowtorch)

Master class from Ivan Petrovich Ovchinnikov, in building do-it-yourself boats
And so, the author adopted this technology from his Father, and he, in turn, from his parent). In ancient times in Russia, as you know, the main building material was wood, and it was also made furniture, dishes, peasant equipment, carts and more.

Boats and boats, respectively, were also built of wood, for this whole artels and brigades were created. It may seem strange .., but the boats started to do in the winter, when the tree is still in a dream. The most suitable tree (aspen) was selected in the forest, the rook was cut down and shaped, after which the harvest was covered with snow and remained in this position until early spring. During this time, the tree properly absorbed moisture. Why leave the boat in the forest, and even in the snow ??? The fact is that for the further process of forming a boat, you need to dry it over an open fire, put spacers, thereby betraying its final shape (everything is described in detail in the film)

But d.Vanya went a slightly different easier way, chose in advance a large and thick one (willow), sawed off under the very spine) removed the bark and proceeded to form the boat.
As you can see in the photo, the author first makes a gash, and then cuts with an hatchet, does everything professionally with minimal labor) The log turns D. Vanya alone, because he is a Russian hero and eats porridge in the morning, and the master knows the laws of physics and applies the lever (scrap) and easily rotates the workpiece as he wants) Using an ax sets the shape.
Then Ivan Petrovich proceeds to the manufacture of the inside of the boat, using the same ax and adze.
2 partitions were left inside, they will serve as stiffeners for the construction of the boat.
That's actually what happens, the botnik is almost ready.
The master skillfully works with Tesla, because he adopted this art from his Father.
After the boat was made. it was processed using a blowtorch, so that later the wood was not afraid of moisture and served the owner for a long time.
Such a wonderful boat was obtained by our author, now he will be able to sail along the Don and catch fish. As you can see, the master cut the boat was pretty simple, and most importantly, the material is free and given by nature itself.

You can also watch a very good film about the manufacture of boats "Dolblenok" according to old technology.

This concludes the article. Thanks for attention!

An interesting doc film was shot, I would say filmed a "pro." Very beautiful nature, soundtrack. I looked with great pleasure.
Thanks for the movie.
What I can not say about the comments of the co-author. For him, this topic is rather a "passing".
Apparently, when shooting the film, more than one boat was made. The co-author points to a tree for "digging" aspen and willow (willow).
Willow (vetles) are related trees and often have a trunk with a very soft core (trash among the people).
Willow...

Vetla ...

Selecting a stump of 4-5 meters from such a tree is not easy. Especially with a hard core.
Aspen is another matter ... It’s as if simpler.

The trunk is straight and from the comel, with virtually no knots. But you can "run into" the rotting core. According to this, Ivan taps a tree with a stick, before choosing an aspen (film), the tree should "ring".
"Aspen, does not burn without kerosene" - a popular saying.
There are such aspen firewood; you cannot make a boat from such aspen.

Aspen wood itself is very attractive to craftsmen.
Of course, they used to hammer boats before without the participation of a chainsaw, but in general the process is correct. They didn’t make dowels from a good life, to find a good board for making a boat in those days was a problem. That hollowed !!!
After firing, the boat must be cleaned from soot. Nagar not only “spoils” everything, but also does not play any positive role.
The boat itself is unstable (somersaulting, bunk.) It is necessary to sail on it "skillfully." For this reason, the “grandfathers” did low to shift the center of gravity for the stability of the boat. Since in the photo of the co-author, you will not go far. Is that sailing on a log, try it ?!
Sorry, did not see

B ...? Well, why is the minus, what kind of screwdriver is it here?
"Gulchat" show a face (face).
It’s good of course that there are people who know how to hollow a boat out of a tree trunk. But as for me, it's too laborious. And the boat will be heavy. It’s easier to bungle from plywood.
And what did perpendicular cuts do, which were then hollowed out? Chainsaw? If so, why are you silent about this? Apparently you don’t want to upset the atmosphere of the ancient craft by the Russian hero :) Well, that’s it .. Anyway - a set-off!
