Behold The Canoe Made From Chopsticks

We recently discussed Campion’s efforts to produce a boat made an environmentally friendly boat made from bio-resin, but what about making boats from recycled materials, or maybe just materials that would otherwise go to waste. For example, what if you made a boat out of the chopsticks people throw away after meals!

A former city employee in the Fukushima prefecture town of Koriyama has built a 4-meter (13-ft) long canoe from thousands of used disposable chopsticks recovered from the city hall cafeteria. Bothered that perfectly good wood was going to waste after a single use, Shuhei Ogawara — whose job at city hall involved working with the local forestry industry — spent the last two years of his career collecting used chopsticks from the cafeteria. An experienced canoe builder, Ogawara spent over 3 months gluing 7,382 chopsticks together into strips to form the canoe shell, to which he added a polyester resin coat. The canoe weighs about 30 kilograms (66 lbs), which is a bit heavier than an ordinary cedar canoe, but Ogawara is confident it will float. A launching ceremony is planned for May at nearby Lake Inawashiro.

Homemade Hydroplane Boat!

If I ever get to a point in my life where I no longer need to work a 9 to 5, I’ll spend my non fishing time learning to build things. To start, I’d love to take some classes to learn all about marine mechanics. With a little bit of time and know-how I could make something like this!

DIY Ear Piercing

It’s probably not the most sterile piercing you could get, but it wont coast you anything! I almost did this the first time I went fly fishing.

Toronto Islands Pike, Opening Weekend

My good friend Martin Szomolanyi and I started our morning launching out of Humber Bay and taking a very cold but also very fast boat ride out to the islands.
