Corey Freedman works at the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle，Washington.He teaches students how to build baidarkas using methods that are respectful of the culture.

　　“We use very，very little materials，thus our boats are the lightest in the world.”

　　Students make the boats the same way boat builders did hundreds of years ago，except that they do not use animal skins.The boats are built without detailed technical plans or drawings or modern tools—except electric­powered tools.

　　“They're all done，built like sculptures，freehand.So it's more of an art than a science.”

　　A student named Jim had always wanted to make boats for about 40 years.He said it was the center that made his dream of making boats come true.Now in the center，he puts different pieces together without using nails.He is building his fourth kayak.Each one is built in about nine days.

　　Corey Freedman says the boats may look the same，but they have discrepancies.And the boats are shaped actually to their personality.Sounds hokey (夸张可笑的)，but if one person is more competitive than another，we're going to have different­shaped boats.All those things are taken advantage of.

　　The students at the center are adults.But Mr.Freedman also teaches young people in Alaska.They are from 12 to 14 years of age，and come from villages throughout the large state.
