From threads that appeared here long ago I think that guy's little factory builds hulls using female molds plus heat plus pressure. No similarity to the way we build.

: Don't think that is much benefit to us. That guy builds in
: Southeast Asia and has access to all the bamboo varieties that
: exist there and knows which will work and which won't. And he
: has an industrial setup for producing stripper canoes that can
: also process bamboo into a boat hull.
: To do what he does in your home you would have to have it rewired
: for 440 volts three phase and a few other rather expensive
: outlays.
