Loved it, thanks.
If anybody else watches part 2, there is no canoe building in the first 7 minutes.
 
anybody understand what is going on around 13:50 when they are drilling holes in the bottom and driving pegs/dowels into those holes?

EDIT: nevermind. I watched the next 20 seconds and figured it out. tip: always watch all the way through before posting dumb questions!

EDIT II: those sideways adzes are really cool. never seen that before.
 
Very similar technique here:

Both were great to watch, thanks for showing! Such an amazing traditional way to build and cure. The smoothing was particularly interesting.

At first I thought he was just making a simple lap joint, like you would find on siding. My best guess is that it is siding, maybe butted instead of lapped?
I could be wrong.
I hope a interpreter shows up and can help use out.
 
Russian splitter. Interesting looking axe.
