Diesel Duck wooden boat, building the raised sheer and good old fashioned woodworking. SDP #63

- First layer of planking on the port side, aft portion of the boat complete, including the raised sheer line. I also do some old fashion woodworking to fabricate the front support base for our epoxy, fiberglass diesel tanks.
This is this is the story of a complete boat owning and boat building novice and his family, constructing a 41’ full displacement trawler yacht in the backyard of their upstate New York home. While I consider myself a fairly advanced amateur woodworker and DIY guy, I’ve never owned a boat before and certainly have never built one either.
The naval architect, George Buehler, designed this boat, from his Diesel Duck line, with the home builder in mind. This design has been licensed for professional builders in China and Turkey, but George’s goal was always to make the large, blue water cruising boat within the reach of the average person.
His commitment to a design that was attainable for the average handy person, resulted in his first book, Buehlers Backyard Boat Building, detailing the process. His designs often include building materials and fasteners available at the big box home improvement stores.
George believed that a robust, comfortable and safe cruising boat could be built with less than ideal, traditional materials. While he acknowledge that less than ideal materials may limit the vessels longevity and resale value, his design would get people safely out on the water while the other guy remained landlocked saving for a design he would never be able to afford to build.
Many traditionalist scoff at his mostly hard chined designs and deviation from traditional methods and materials. However his maverick approach has made the dream of crossing oceans in a home built boat a reality for many around the world. No matter what the “experts” say, his designs have been proven over and over with literally hundreds of examples cruising the worlds oceans today.
Our goal is to be next!

No need any excuses Scott...You are giving a lot for us amateur boatbuilders all around the world.thanks
I did not subscribe to your channel to sit in critique of you production values. I subscribed because I love watching what you do and your progress. So, no need to apologise, at least to me, anyway. Thank you, Scott.
Nice work Scott. If the frame out of plumb and the deck beams needing to be adjusted are your biggest issues then you have done a marvelous job for an amateur boat builder. The oak with the brown preservative looks like the fumed finish on Craftsman era oak furniture. The project is looking really good and the videography is getting better with every episode. Take care, stay well and Happy Holidays.
Nothing better than "good old fashioned woodworking"... Everything is looking great Sgt.
Thanks for showing the mistakes, so we can learn how to fix them. Love the boat ,keep up the good work.
I love this build, thank you Scott. That white oak stock looks amazing.
No excuses neded, it is good as is. NEED more vids. Stop slacking off, more videos. I enjoy each one. Secret..... your living my dream. SO..... MORE.......LONGER..... VIDs
All I can say is WOW!!! Looking good!!
Keep up the good work. I appreciate your effort.
Wow, I thought Ron Howard directed this episode...LOL... It's looking great Scott.
I can't wait to see how you outfit the interior. I'm sure it's going to be amazing...
Looking good! Stay warm up there.
I admire guys & ladies that can work in the cold with snow flurries or where you can see your breath inside the shop. I live in a very moderate temperature zone and I turn on the heater in my shop when its 60 F or lower.
Scott, That is looking so great. Nice work there young man! Glad you showed the fact that you are human and screwed up a tiny bit on that frame, but C;mon man that is so minor!
Keep on keeping on Amigo, it is looking terrific!!!
Coming along nicely. I can't wait to see how the outer sheathing goes on over the planking. The interior will be interesting too.
I'll be watching...

I have been following your project and just want to say how impressive your boat and dedication to it's completion is
Looking good, love the choice of background music
Nice job it's starting to look good
Hope you checked out Leo's engine (power plant) for Talley Ho--very smart ideas.
I have but that sounds really expensive
Nicely done Scott the boat is definitely starting to take shape!!!.⛵⚓ 💯% 👍🇬🇧
Wow you are really doing it !! Great work. I could still be alive when you are done in three years😇😂P G. Texas
Amazing at what you have accomplished by yourself. Also, liked the music, drone footage and the snow!
Yea you like the snow until you live in it and have to move feet of it at a time! 😂😉
Looks great
Looking great!
It’s looking good Scott
The camera is great. I could almost feel the texture of the wood on the screen. ;-)
Amazing work, you are making great progress!
Really enjoy your channel!
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.
Scott, not sure if you've spoken about it since but I hope you've recovered fully from your arm injury, really enjoying the videos.
It doesnt hurt anymore but I have still not recovered the lost strength.
Just found and subscribed to your channel. I will have to catch up. This looks an awesome project. I love the way Joiners think.
Keep up the hard work, it's lookin great.
Thanks for video, We get so tired waiting😱🤦♂️😩Love your down and dirty get it done boat building !! five stars🥰Pat G. Texas
The quality of a craftman is directly proportional to their ability to make a mistake look like that is what they intended to do from the beginning.
Coming from a photographer, I would say that you do a pretty good job with your video work
I learn something every episode!
Very very neat, thanks.
Good progress Scott.👍
@20:00 interior planking in stain; I was commenting to myself how great that looked just as you were beginning to comment on it yourself. you beat me to it. Whole boat is really taking shape, you've done a fine job. A few corrections are totally acceptable. Looks good and you can be proud of the work to this point. Happy New Year and work safe.
You certainly are a loud breather haha nice work on the boat man!
Also, I was trying to figure out who you reminded me of.

Very private and a awesome wood worker.
👍👍👍
Yes! let's get an internet thing going and get him to visit the project!
G'day Scott,,

I love the boat. And watching it be built. I am worried the amount of screws getting impulse driven will undermine its strength. Why not drive a dowel coated in epoxy? Cheaper, wouldn't compress and fracture the wood on entry and won't rust in the future. My 2 cents and will continue watching as i love what people can create in the back yard. Not being an ass i hope. Merry Christmas to all
West System recommends against putting epoxy over larger dimensioned oak as it expands 50% more than mahogany and opens joints and checks regardless if epoxy is attempting to restrain it, thus letting water in. Read Epoxyworks article called using 'Epoxy With Oak'. P.S. That is a lot of edge setting I see with that oak planking...
Lots of hard work 👍
? ? ? Are/will you be adding large anti-roll bilge keels, or paravanes ?
In Hawai'i @ Kewalo Boat Harbour, I saw the same vessel outfitted with paravanes .
I really do enjoy your videos and I give you credit for your perseverance but you better rase the out- feed table on your table saw or you may not finish the boat with the same amount of parts as you started with. Other then that nice job and enjoy the process.

New camera . Sounds of focused breathing intensifies. Lol
I dont understand why you chose to put wood preservative on the exposed surfaces of the interior? Keep up the hard work.
He states that he thinks it looks ‘lovely’ as a stain and he likes the color.
If you’re referring to the black substance, possible coal tar, I’m not sure
“Copper naphthalene” I believe he said
@@DIYAmateurHour kinda weird but his boat, his rules.
Hi Scott, a few questions: First, what brand is your tape measure? Second, will you be fairing the planks before the ply goes on? And third, will you be coating the planks with epoxy? Tar? Something else? Keep up the good work!
I use a Lufkin tape and Milwaukee. The planks will be faired only as much as required to get the plywood to lay flat against it.
Will you be fiberglassing over the planking?
2 layers of plywood along with epoxy and glass to follow.
I saw a similar vessel in Hawai'i @Kewalo Boat Harbor with paravanes. Are you thinking of this to help stop the roll, or large bilge keels?
we will have a small sailing rig to slow the roll and will also act as an emergency get home rig. I may use paravanes if we really getting into open water cruising.
Hey, I thought I saw some crop circles..lol 3:51
How are you getting in and out of it?
through the bottom, in between the bilge stringers
how do you put the house on the boat?
Please send (or share) where to find GoFundMe link for your cousin. #EmergencyRespondersRock. Thank you!
13:14 - how or who is panning?
that is a photography turn table. just a small motorized device that turns really slowly for cool timelapse stuff.
I thouvht you were having some steel tanks fabricated?
I think he has a mixture depending on the content - some timber, some fabricated.
You may have a ghost 16:24.
Make it wooden with the help of the Stodoys instructions.
I enjoy the videos - but not the music.
Should not be critical rtical.
I enjoy the videos, and I love the music.
