Dave is also interested in traditional activities, and found it important to learn from Elders in the community. He has worked with wood all his life creating everything from Christmas ornaments to ramps.

If you want to learn more about how to build komatiks please check out this document created by Francine Winters. It demonstrates how her dad, Sonny, builds komatiks and includes several photos of the process. 

Mentor, Walter Fowler, taught apprentice Peter Fowler how to make komatiks. Walter has been building komatiks for over 50 years. He first learned from his father, and older brother and continues making them for himself, his family, and people in Capstan Island and beyond.
