I'm Jimmy DiResta, and I'm a maker.
That's a hip way of saying I make things… like this.
Pretty cool, right?
Walk with me.
For years, I made my name as a toy designer in New York City.
Then I realized I don't like the city, I don't like designing toys,
and to be honest with you, I don't really like kids.
It's not like I hate them or anything.
It's just it's, "Check out my little Timmy."
I don't care.
Look at my birds.
So anyway, I quit my job,
I left the city, and I moved upstate to here, my farm.
I got land, I got animals,
and best of all I have this.
The ultimate maker workshop!
Inside, I have every kind of tool and machine imaginable to make things.
Pretty impressive stuff, huh?
Really? You're labeling the table like that's some sort of impress--
"Bag"? We can just--
Okay. Graphics guy trying to be funny.
Can we please get on with it? Anyway…
So I got a call to be on a TV show 'cause I'm a maker celebrity or whatever.
I said, "Sure. Cool." Why not, right?
So I agreed.
Then I found out who I'd be working for.
Jimmy!
-Hi. -Hi!
Jimmy!
Hey, Jimmy.
What do you want?
Okay, Mr. Grouch.
Thirty years of expert build experience, and I'm taking orders from half-pints.
Because misery loves company, I brought my buddies in on it with me.
Say hi, guys.
-Howdy! -Hello!
That's Jackman. He's an engineer, and he plans everything.
It's really annoying, but he's good at it.
That's Derek, my best friend.
Big guy and even bigger softie.
This is Graz.
Good maker, bad jokes.
And Canadian Pat.
Well, your guess is as good as mine.
Let's have some fun.
Together, we'll take pitches on this.
Listen to whatever their dumb little brains can come up with.
The Pig Tripper. It trips the pig.
-Wow. -So a catapult that throws cat poop?
-Yes.
If it's interesting or doable, I'll build it. If not--
Next!
-Next! -No way.
-Next! -Shut up!
-Some builds will be good.
Dino Taco Toilet.
Are you not entertained?
Some builds will be bad.
Graz, I told you the scissors were gonna be too heavy!
Make a bigger handle!
But all of them will be absolutely pointless.
-Yeah! -That is disgusting.
Whoa!
-I want the unicorn to fart! -I can't believe I'm doing this.
-Go, Graz!
Why are we doing this? Because we make things. That's what we do.
-Thought we weren't supposed to have fun. -I'm not having fun!
We're gonna show these kids, if they can dream it up…
I want it to be a guitar boat that floats.
You're onto something there.
…it can be built.
Oh!
That is so cool!
Hey, it might even inspire them to build
outside their little Minecraft -y world, or whatever.
-Do I wanna do it?
Dumbest thing we've ever made.
Not really. But this isn't about me, is it?
-So here we are. -You better get to work!
Funny how their dreams are my nightmare.
Come on, Jimmy. Have some fun.
Whatever.
-Can I have some more nuts?
You just gave me all raisins!
Pat, what are raisins called in Canada?
Dried raisin.
They call grapes raisins, and they call these dried raisins.
This is a glitch in the Matrix right now.
This doesn't make sense. Would you like a raisin?
Yeah. Please.
-Oh. Little higher. -Almost went into his pocket.
-I don't wanna waste my nuts. -Oh!
So close, Graz.
It went in and out.
Go like this, first.
Wait. No.
Pat.
-You got it! -Oh!
-What just happened there?
-Ready? -Yeah.
We have kids' pitches. Let's get this over with.
All right.
I'm gonna sit on Pat's lap.
First kid up. Let's go.
Hi!
-Hi! -Oh boy.
What are your names?
My name is Locke, and I'm nine.
Lianne, and I am six.
I'm Addy, and this is Wilson.
Nevaeh.
Nevaeh, is this a YouTube makeup tutorial?
I totally have too much ChapStick on!
You and Graz.
What? No.
-Yeah. No!
Where in the world are you guys?
We're in California.
What highway do you take to school?
We take the 10 freeway.
Do you take the 10 to the 405 to the 5?
No. We do not.
-Leave them alone. They're nice kids.
You guys have some ideas for me?
An animal avenger ATV course.
And it's with a volcano in the middle
that shoots out slime lava with a river with crocodiles.
-Might as well throw bees in. -Yeah. How about killer bees?
-No. No. -No.
-No. That would be ridiculous.
It's called Cupquake Kitchen.
Cupquake Kitchen.
-I like the name. -It's a good brand name.
Yeah. It's a trampoline dance party.
Trampoline dance party?
We actually have a model.
A model?
You put eight marshmallows down,
and you melted them into puffcakes.
Seven marshmallows.
-Yeah. -More like seven.
It's called Cupquake Kitchen because at random times
it does a random earthquake sound, and you have to dance for ten seconds.
You realize dancing is not in my contract.
No.
Not gonna watch.
-Locke, what music do you like? -My favorite music is country.
Yeah. Next. Get them out. Get them out.
So you want me to create a hurricane, a volcano, a waterfall.
What actually do you want me to make?
You just asked me to create like 13 miracles.
You're just jealous 'cause our ideas are better than yours.
I think I'm on TV, and you're on a Zoom call.
-You guys know what this means? -He's warming it up.
-You like country music? - Yeah.
Interesting. You could write a sad song about how you were swiped off a TV show.
-Heartless. -Next.
Now on one, two, three we go like this. One, two, three.
No!
-It's never not funny. -We're gonna sleep on the idea.
Like they say in Hollywood, "Don't call us, we'll call you."
Thanks, Jimmy Fallon!
-Bye!
Is it hot in here, or is it me?
-These ideas suck. -Definitely not you.
Oh! What's up, buddy? What's your name?
Hi. My name is Jayden Han.
Where are you? What city are you in?
Uh, Garden Grove, California.
Okay. How old are you?
I am almost 12 years old.
-I thought you were gonna say 32.
What do you wanna be when you grow up?
I would love to be an actor when I grow up.
Really?
Can you do Christopher Walken?
No. I don't think so.
Come on. You gotta do Christopher Walken.
How about DeNiro? Can you do DeNiro?
-Uh… -You gotta do just a little bit.
I don't know who anybody you guys talk about is.
-I never get the references either. -All right. All right.
Do you have an idea for us?
-Ah, yes. I'm in love with music. -Okay.
And of my favorite instruments is the guitar.
So I would love for you to make me a guitar.
-You want me to make you a guitar? -Let's do it.
Yes. -That's it?
Say yeah before he complicates it. -A gigantic guitar.
No. I want it as big as a boat.
I want it to be a guitar-boat that floats on water!
-Just give up.
So wait… So you started,
"I want a guitar." Then, "I want a big guitar."
"I want it big as a boat." "I want it to be a boat."
Tell me how you see the boat.
Where does somebody sit? What happens? How does it work?
Well, lucky for you, I have a design up my sleeve.
Oh boy.
-It's a beauty. Isn't it? -More planning than you've done, Jimmy.
These fret things would be the seats, and they would be humongous.
So if those are the seats, that thing is 85 feet long.
-We're all gonna sit on this thing. -I'm not building you a cruise ship.
Fair enough.
-I like the idea of a big guitar. -Me too.
-I like the idea of a big guitar boat. -How big?
My canoe is on the wall. I mean, that's 17 feet long.
What if we made a guitar boat that was big enough for two guys?
One Pat Lap and one Graz?
It'll fit one and a half people.
Low-hanging fruit, I wish I could reach it.
So, what if we used the paddles,
and it was big guitar picks at the end?
Oh, a big… Oh yeah. That's a good idea.
You like that idea? What is the yellow thing?
Oh, this is just the design. I want it to be like a bolt.
Yeah. It just looks really cool.
You want it to be different than the other guitar boats?
You're dang right I do!
I, I, I like this idea.
You guys like this idea to make a big, giant guitar boat?
-It won't look like that drawing. -It could be really fun.
-Jayden, we're gonna make your guitar. -Yes! Yes!
See you.
Strumbody's gonna be happy.
What?
Strumbody's gonna be really happy if we make it.
Tune in later in the show when we build this guitar.
-Strum? Oh, that's good. -Tune.
Jimmy, you really changed your tune on that one.
Oh, that's a good one.
Horrible. Let's get to work.
So this is a boat,
and this is a guitar.
We're gonna combine them.
I see the body of the guitar being made with plywood and some bendy plywood.
I'm seeing about eight feet, nine feet from here to here.
Eight feet for a sheet of plywood.
You got it.
Keep the numbers easy.
This will be the front of the boat. If somebody's here…
Yeah.
We'll do big cut-outs so people can hang out.
Yeah.
Making a big guitar is one thing, but we have to make it float.
So we gotta make it buoyant.
That's a fun word. Buoyant.
-"Boint"? "Boint." -"Boint"?
Buoyant.
-Buoyant. That's what I said. -Buoyant?
Is that before an adult ant? It's a "boy ant"?
-Ha!
You'll make a good dad.
We're also gonna have to make it waterproof
in the way that we're gonna have to put epoxy.
Maybe we'll get fancy, and we'll do some veneer, like some Walnut veneer.
Jackman, we're gonna rely on your carving capabilities and making the whole neck.
All right, I can do that.
Let's not forget the kid wanted a lightning bolt.
So we gotta do some sorta wood burning on the top.
What's that? You put the two electrodes on the sides,
and then a lightning bolt goes…
-Lichtenberg? -We do that.
We can make lightning bolts burn in on the top. It'll look really cool.
We talked a little bit about making the paddles look like guitar chips.
-Picks. -Picks.
-You never say guitar chip? -A guitar chip?
-Yeah. -No.
I've been saying guitar chip my whole life.
He plays guitar with a Dorito.
Your mother gave you some bad information.
Derek and I will take care of the body.
Jackman, you work on the neck with Graz's help.
-Pat, you work on the paddle chips. -Yeah.
We'll get this thing coming together.
-I'll do the lightning bolts too. -Work on the bolts, but be careful.
-It's dangerous. -Perfect.
Let's get materials. Let's get started.
All right. Well, if I don't get electrocuted, at least I'll drown.
I have a design up my sleeve.
That floats on water!
We gotta make it buoyant We gotta make it float.
Guitar boat.
The first thing you and I have to do
is figure out what the body is gonna be shaped like.
The challenge with this build is that we have to build a guitar
that's big enough to hold two people but light enough to float.
Okay, what we're gonna do is use this sheet of plywood
to make our first quadrant.
The guitar body is gonna be made in two quadrants on the top
and two on the bottom.
So we need four pieces to make up the full top and back of the guitar.
And once we establish the shape of this one quarter,
we'll use it to make the other three.
All right.
We're gonna use this ruler to create some fair curves.
A guitar body has a pretty simple shape, but we wanna make sure we get it right.
Go slow.
Because any mistake on this first piece is gonna get copied to the other pieces.
I'm a good marker.
Unlike our other builds, we're not covering this guitar
with a bunch of foam and paint.
-That's it. There you go. -Nice.
We wanna keep it natural so it looks real.
Let's get cutting.
We're scoring this cut with a razor blade…
One down, three to go.
…and smoothing it out with a router,
to give us a nice, clean edge as this build unfolds.
This looks like we're just building a sign for the Hard Rock Cafe.
That's what I was thinking.
Now that we've got all four body pieces assembled…
I've got some apple boxes.
…we'll use apple boxes to hold them as we install the vertical supports.
Not only does this structure give our boatman a place to sit,
it also creates a nice, hollow air-filled interior
to keep the boat light and floaty.
-Done! -This one here's already a winner.
All right. So what are we doing here?
We're working on the neck of the guitar.
We got butcher block here to work with.
Bunch of different species, some oak and maple.
Very heavy butcher block.
We need weight. Buoyancy fun fact.
Buoyancy fun fact.
-No! Hold off on the buoyancy fun fact.
Oops, I'll come back later.
What we'll do is rip these down into strips and then glue them together,
and that big lamination will become the neck.
So, the size that they're doing,
the neck should probably be roughly about a foot wide?
About a foot wide. Then we'll figure out the thickness and length from there.
We're stacking multiple layers of butcher block countertops together
to give us the basic structure of our guitar neck,
and then we'll carve everything down to give it the proper shape.
Cool. Let's get ripping.
It's so heavy.
Very heavy butcher block.
That's heavy.
-You got it? -That's so heavy.
I can do it with one arm.
Jimmy!
What is the concern?
This is like a 1,000 pounds.
Graz is concerned it's not gonna float.
We're building a guitar submarine.
As long as it's waterproof, it'll hold over 5,000 pounds.
Buoyancy fun fact.
Buoyancy is just the measurement of an object's ability to float on a fluid.
You can calculate an object's buoyancy
by finding the volume of water that it displaces
and multiplying it by the density of the water,
which, as everybody knows, is 62.4 pounds per cubic foot,
and then compare that to total--
-Nerd. What? -Nerd.
-I don't think Graz is-- -No. Just keep going. Yeah
Look, this boat might be heavy, but it's also wide and flat,
which means the water it displaces is gonna be even heavier.
And so, because of that, it's gonna float… probably.
-Graz and Pat plus the weight of the boat. -Nerd.
-That can't be close to 5,000 pounds. -Nerd.
All right. Keep doing your math, nerd.
Nerd.
I'm just misunderstood.
I'll trust that Jackman is right on the math.
In the meantime, we're gonna focus on stacking,
gluing,
and carving these boards until they look like an actual guitar neck.
This is a classic paddle.
But I'm not classic.
I'm going to do that the Pat way.
Let's do that.
First part is the handle, which I'm gonna make with that piece of walnut.
Now, I'm heading over to the band saw to remove the bulk of the material,
then I'm going to mount this on the lathe, and make this round.
The grinder.
Hey!
Oh yes.
We are laying out the acoustic hole.
According to our calculations, it's about 16 inches.
What a beauty.
By taking measurements of a normal guitar and scaling them up,
we know about where the sound hole's gonna be,
but we might wanna make some adjustments.
The hole may need to be further down.
So I'll cut out the circle, we'll lay it out there. See how it goes.
So Derek just cut out a circle,
and I think it's an appropriate size.
I think whatever Jimmy thinks looks right, is right.
We'll use this now as a template to cut the hole.
-We have a hole. -This is coming out all right, huh?
Plywood gives you wings.
What we have here is… Derek, would you like to explain?
Bendy plywood.
-And what does it do? -It bends.
Around?
Curved surfaces?
-The side of our guitar. -Oh.
This bendy plywood is made by taking thin strips of fine-grain wood
and gluing them with their grains running parallel,
so that they stay together while still being flexible.
It's bendy.
It does like the name implies.
It bends.
First, we'll glue a piece of the bendy plywood in place…
-Here on the seam? -Yep.
…so we can line it up.
And then we add a few staples.
Uhh, okay. Maybe a lot of staples.
All right.
And our boat has sides.
It's gonna give this thing immediate strength.
All right. Check it out!
Wow! What do you got going on here, kid?
-What do you think? -Um…
Your car battery died?
-We're not jumping my car. -Okay.
We are making lightning bolts.
Let me guess. Lichtenberg?
Bam!
Lichtenberg burning is a process of burning patterns into wood
using electricity.
We just cover the wood in conductive paste and run an electric charge across it.
The results look like tiny lightning bolts burned into the wood.
So electricity plus conductive liquid
equals lightning bolts in wood.
-This is electrolytes? -This is electrolytes.
-Like Gatorade? -Exactly.
But nothing like it.
-Yeah. No? Okay. You ready? -I don't think so.
Three, two, one.
There it goes.
Look at that. Fractals.
Isn't that crazy how it does that?
Whoo! Look at that.
Wow. That looks great.
I think Jayden's gonna like this.
He asked for lightning bolts, we gave him lightning bolts.
Let's go down to the barn, show Jimmy, and put this thing on the guitar.
This is what you call poor man's wood filler.
Glue and sawdust.
I'm sanding out all the little bumps, nicks, banging in all the nails
because now we're going to cover it with the final wood for the face.
Walnut veneer.
So we'll take this walnut veneer and put it on the outsides of our boat
and move on.
Two-twenty-six.
There's no need to make a big thing of this.
You're gonna make me make a big thing of this, aren't you?
All right. Fine. I'll do it, but only in the form of soft rock.
Huh?
So how is veneer made, you ask?
They take a big, giant razor blade,
and the editors are gonna show you right here…
Take a big razor blade and put a log against that razor blade,
and you spin the log.
Big industrial machinery.
And they take a log and unroll it just like a roll of paper towels.
Most of your overpriced dining tables have this on top.
Not real wood.
This is contact cement. It's called a dry-mount contact cement.
Put it on both sides coming together.
You let both sides dry,
and then you push it together, and it stays forever.
If you put it down wrong, you have to rip it off and start again with a new piece.
Walnut, huh?
It's a veneer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's fancy.
I, I have a table like this.
Me and Christina got married, we bought a table just like this.
How much you pay for it?
-A ton. -Interesting.
See? What did I tell you?
Everybody overpays for veneer.
Jimmy, when you hurt your pinky in the table saw accident,
were you still able to play?
I was despondent about the circumstance.
I should have kept practicing, but I used it as an excuse to give up.
Does it bother you to drink tea at all?
No, actually, that's perfect because the pinky doesn't move.
So when I drink tea, it's in the perfect position.
Attention, Jimmy. Children calling.
Attention, Jimmy. Time to talk to the kids again.
-Jeez. Hey. What's up, buddy? -There he is.
I just came in to check in. See how you guys were doing.
The big, giant guitar is well underway.
-What are the colors? It's gonna look like a guitar.
What did you expect?
-Touchè. Uh…
Can it actually function like a guitar?
Does it actually play music?
Not at the moment. Why do you ask?
Because I want it to.
-Uh-oh!
Time to face the music.
You want it to play like a real guitar?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Jayden, you know, we're trying to make it a legit floating boat.
Sound isn't really exactly the priority.
It'll sound good though.
All right. Yes, we're gonna have it make sound.
You got us at the right time. We can still have it make sound.
Yay!
But going forward, adding the frets and the strings…
we're gonna keep in mind that it will really work.
-Yeah. -All right.
Dealio.
-I'll check in when we're done. -See you.
-We gotta make it make music. -So it's playing music.
We were always planning on adding the strings, the frets, the tuning pegs,
but they were gonna be purely ornamental, not functional.
So we're gonna build tuning pegs that can actually rotate
and tighten these big, heavy cables enough to where they will play notes.
Somewhat.
And Jackman and Graz will have to adjust their neck…
I'm gonna have to reinforce the structure inside the body a bit.
…so that it can accommodate actual playable strings.
He didn't say it had to sound good, did he?
-It just has to make sound. -Yeah. It just makes sound.
We've still got a lot of work to do on the other parts of the build.
Time to kick it into beast mode.
Oh.
Pat's gonna finish his guitar pick paddles
with a layer of waterproof epoxy and some colorful paint.
I don't know what this does, but I saw it on the internet, and it looks cool.
Oh yeah.
Look at that.
-It's nice, right? -I like that one.
Back on the body, Derek and I are gonna cut some holes for seats.
Right now, we've got a guitar raft.
It won't be a guitar boat until Pat and Graz have a place to sit.
Whoo!
Guys, wanna come over and give this a try?
-Yeah. -Help me with my leg.
-Oh God. -Woo-hoo!
How's this?
You guys look good in it.
I thought my casket was gonna look different, but I'm okay with this.
Finally, Pat is carving some wooden tuning knobs on the band saw
so we can actually tighten the strings on the neck.
To make it look like metal, I'm gonna wrap this with chrome vinyl.
-Nice and smooth. -The head stock's done.
-Looks awesome. -That's good.
All right. Up next, frets.
Originally, we were going to make the frets and strings ornamental,
but then the strings would sit flush against the fretboard
and wouldn't sound good.
Since Jayden wants the guitar to make sound,
we're setting these frets at precise depths,
so they'll lift the strings off the fretboard and let them ring out.
We'll mark out the locations of the frets. I'll cut a bunch of grooves here.
All right. You fret, I'll glue, and we'll get in a pretty good groove.
What are you fretting about?
-Are you done? -Yeah. I'm done.
-Good. -Let's go.
Put that over on that side.
There we go. Right here.
We know how we're gonna add frets,
but we still need to figure out where exactly to put this
so we'll be able to play a song.
And you know me, I'm not just gonna eyeball it.
I did the math earlier. I took a screenshot.
You took a screenshot of math?
-Yeah. -Okay.
That's all the dimensions of where the frets want to be.
The fret scale's 173 inches.
Jackman, you're the only person I've ever met that makes guitars uncool.
-Done? -All right. Let's cut some grooves.
Jayden wants this to sound like a guitar.
So we have to get the fret spacing right.
I'm gonna glue in these steel rods
while Jackman cuts the rest of the grooves.
Since we measured the frets carefully,
these strings are gonna sit at the perfect height
to vibrate freely and make sound.
Kind of like Jimmy.
And once the frets are all set in place…
we'll trim off the edges so they sit flush with the fretboard.
-Paul, this looks great. -Thanks.
Jackman, this really does. It looks like a giant guitar neck.
It's gonna look awesome when we put strings on it.
-Well done. -Let's clamp these while the epoxy cures.
Then we put the neck on the body.
-Let's get more clamps. -All right.
Nerd! Nerd! Nerd!
Are you guys ready?
All hands on deck! It's time to assemble a giant guitar.
-Are you ready for this? -Are you ready?
-Are you good? -Yeah.
Let's see.
-Oh boy. -Oh jeez.
Hang on, guys. I need the "made a mistake" tool.
-Let's see if that fits. Take two.
Oh, look at that.
Now that we know the neck fits,
we can start gluing the two pieces together.
-Tell me when. Okay? -Let's send it.
Just a little more. Right there.
The neck is attached to the body. This is looking sharp.
Now we gotta work on putting the strings on.
We gotta epoxy the bottom. I gotta install the seats.
Let's bring it home, boys. Let's go!
-Bring it home, boys. -Bring it home, boys.
Ahoy there, matey!
Oh, whoo!
Guitars were made to rock…
Whoa, it's hot!
…but ours needs to float as well.
What I'm doing is pouring epoxy to fill in all the crevices and potential leak areas.
So we need to seal the inside of the guitar body with epoxy resin.
I just dump it in and let it cure.
-It's not dripping out, is it? -There's a screw hole there.
When it drips through, it'll cure in the hole, then it's patched.
Derek has to cut the Lichtenberg figures he and Graz made into angled segments…
I'm gonna cut 12 of them at 15 degrees.
…to create the rosette design that's gonna go around the sound hole.
It looks good.
Jayden wanted lightning bolts. He should be happy with this.
The dot inlays are traditionally made of pearl or other fine materials,
but we're using wooden dowels to mark our fretboard.
Since Jayden wants this thing to play,
we need to install a nut that we cut from two-inch thick plastic,
a bridge made from a pipe welded to a metal plate…
and of course, a set of six strings made from steel cable
that we'll run from tuning pegs,
down the neck, over the bridge, and through the body.
-Ready?
You hear that?
That's beautiful.
And to finish everything off,
we're gonna build two seats out of beautiful, burgundy marine vinyl.
Looks like a roadster.
Nothing but the best for Graz and Pat's tushies.
-We'll make some beautiful music with it. -Oh yeah.
Looks good.
Hopefully this thing is gonna float.
Man, we guitar-dly got it done in time.
Guys, fantastic work.
Everybody's talents are really well showcased in this one.
-That's all we can do. -All right.
It's beautiful.
Music and boats go hand in hand.
-Yeah. -I'm sorry. What?
Music, boats. They go hand in hand.
-You know what's music to my ears? -What's that?
Us being done with this episode.
Let's do the reveal.
All right. Let's get Jayden up here.
See if he appreciates what we've built for him.
-Jayden! -Hello!
-How are you, buddy? -Really good.
Okay, Jayden. Pop quiz. Why are we here?
Yeah. Why?
Because I wanted you to build me a guitar.
A guitar.
So we built a giant 500-pound guitar,
but that wasn't enough.
I wanted it to float on the water!
You wanted it to become a boat that has to float.
Is it gonna float?
Of course, it's gonna float.
Ehh…
Come on. Can I see it already?
-Do you really wanna see this thing? -Yes!
You're approaching a three.
Get close to a nine, maybe we'll open those garage doors.
Fine, fine, fine. Fine. Fine, fine, fine.
Uh-oh. There we go.
Jayden style.
All right. You earned it.
Guys, hit it!
That is so cool!
I love it! I love it!
Oh my goodness!
It's so cool!
Jayden, what you're looking at is 19 feet of guitar excellence
that's gonna float on the water.
That's humongous!
Look at the guitar body. Me and Derek built it.
It's made out of layers of plywood,
It's beautifully veneered with walnut on the sides
and maple on the top.
That's a lot of wood!
Hey, Jayden. See this ring here?
You wanted your lightning bolts?
Me and Graz burnt these with electricity.
That's awesome!
The neck is laminated from butcher block countertops
that's oak and maple, with a fretboard made of ash and actual metal frets.
It is 8 feet long plus 2 feet for the headstock.
Did you see your name on the headstock? It says "Jayden."
When they find me and Pat's bodies, your name will be all over the evidence.
You can't have a boat without a paddle.
If you see these two beautiful paddles made by Pat.
The handles are made of black walnut, and I've carved it on the lathe.
And as for the pick itselves,
I used plywood, and I did an epoxy pour with two and three colors. I mixed it.
The picks look so cool!
-It looks incredible. -But does it play?
-Want to hear something? -Yes!
It warms my heart. It's so beautiful.
I bet you wanna see this thing in the water.
-Don't you? -Yeah.
Jayden, be honest. Do you think this is gonna float?
There's only one way to find out.
You heard him, guys.
You guys okay back there?
Oh, jeez!
You guys ready? Let's get Jayden up.
What's up, buddy? Can you see where we are?
Yeah!
And I see the boat in the back.
It's actually floating!
It's one thing to have the boat float, but it's a different thing
to have a bearded Canadian and a little, hairy man climb into it.
And that's about to happen.
Yes!
Are you two nitwits ready?
Permission to step aboard?
Granted.
Make sure it's not slippery. Make sure you don't slip.
I got it.
-Uh-oh! -Whoo!
-Perfect. -All right. Let's see!
-Mr. Pat Lap, your paddle. Thank you!
All right, guys. Take it away!
It works!
-Pat, this is kind of nice, right? -Yeah.
I think it's working.
Jayden, what do you think?
Awesome! I can't believe there's an actual guitar boat.
Hey, Jackman, Derek! Do I look cool?
Yeah. Real cool.
Jayden, there's one more thing we got for you. Pat, hit it.
-Whoa! Whoa!
That was beautiful, Pat.
Jayden, I think we're done here. Any final words?
Thank you for building me a guitar boat!
You're very welcome. And I'll see you later.
-Bye, buddy. -See you, Jayden.
I knew you'd love this one.
Congrats. Give ourselves a round of applause. You did so well.
All right, guys.
I'll see you at the workshop.
-Wait. -What about the boat?
Can you pull us in?
You got the rope. You're good.
