Small wood boat building

[pigdoesasapigdo]

I have a small amount of experience in building kayaks and canoes but it has always been a dream of mine to get more experience and to become a serious builder. It seems to me that finland would be the perfect place with the amount of lakes here. In the past i have worked with older guys in their own wood shops learning skills and using their equipment to build boats. Does finland in general and specifically near Tampere have things like this? How can i get involved with anyone who could help me learn to build boats? My finnish is lacking so i know that may be a big hinderance but i hope over time i will get better and that it wont stop me from apprenticing with a woodworker/boatbuilder. Any help or tips is greatly apprieciated!

You most likely won't earn your living building boats. There is some news article few years back to try your Finnish skills: https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-8931654
