Building the 23' V-Bottom Skiff - Episode 23: Ripping the guards

  • We’ve decided to adjust our sheer a little bit, we’re going to bring it down a little bit at the bow but mostly our goal is to reduce the angle on the heads of the frames and the sheer plank by a few degrees. I’m using my progressive beveling circular saw that I’ve modified with a ratchet handle to change the angle of the saw as I cut. This let’s me give the rails a nice progressive line from the transom all the way forward. We’re then going to rip out our 24’ white oak guards and get them ready for assembly.

    A snow shovel chip thrower, a folding tape that's older than I am, a custom made featherboard...feeling very much at home. God bless you sir and all your efforts. €;-)}

      What a great Craftsman, boatbuilder Lou is. So ingenious n skilled.

      I'm always amazed when people are surprised to see a folding rule being used. Are Lou and I the only ones who use them as their go to measuring device? I know we're not but it feels that way sometimes.
      When I enter my shop the first thing that happens is I stuff a Lufkin 6 foot inside reading rule in my back pocket. And it stays there all day and most times ends up coming in the house with me because I am so used to having it there. They are so much easier to use in most cases. If most of your measurements are 72 inches or less so they are perfect. Both of my trucks have a 6 foot rule and a 25 foot tape in them. Any portable tool box or pouch has one. I probably have a dozen of them spread around.
      If you're not using one you should consider it. Get a good one, they last a long time (as in multiple years), so don't fret over a $5 difference between a good rule and a less expensive one. Once you get used to opening and closing the rule the right way and do the occasional maintenance of oiling each joint once a year with a drop of 3-in-One Oil you're good to go.

      @@bobd. I only use one. measuring tapes become useless quickly, are messy. and I do not have to hook my folding rule anywhere.
      great tool. partially forgotten because there's always a new product, but people are coming back around It

    I was raised by a Carpenter and became a damn-good helper. I would have moved your power cord to prevent that crate from falling over and had that squeeze clamp out of the way before you got there. I rescued my dad from more mishaps than he ever knew were about to happen. He would send me out to the truck (with a jailer's ring of keys) so many times throughout the day that I got really good at predicting what we needed for a given job. I would load everything in a wheelbarrow and hand things to him like a surgical assistant. I had no idea the education I'd received until I took up woodworking as an adult.

    @dwel2928 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Lou, I love how you use both classic tools and modern ones, focusing on getting the parts made the way you want them. And your art comes from using the same tools, like your electric plane, so often that you've learned their peculiarities and how to use them to your advantage. This is a fun channel!

  • @TheShorebird

    That is just amazing the way you've modified the saw to be able to change the angle as you cut! I've been doing Home Improvement for 44 years and I've never, ever seen anything like that!

    • @manfredschmalbach9023
      @manfredschmalbach9023 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Welcome to boatbuilding. Half my workshop consists of upgraded (the safety-sissies would describe it with another term, of course) or completely selfbuilt tooling and machinery. Changing the angle while circular sawing like Mr Sauzedde does it still is an advanced technique to be honest though.

      It's important to remember that this isn't Lou's only job. He is a full time shipwright with fingers in several commercial projects that pulls him away due to priorities. That said like you I'm glad he's managed to get some time to work on this project and of course we have Orca to look forward to. Can you imagine that one? Good grief that's going to be epic.

    I love the absolutely correct nautical and Shipwright terminology used by Lou which comes so naturally to such an experienced and talented tradesman, so rare these days. The videos are so informative and frankly impressive how well they are produced and edited, great work team. I really do hope the entire series is saved and archived for future reference by budding Shipwrights, what a teacher, you're a legend Lou! Keep them coming and many thanks.

    Looking good lou! I enjoy watching you at your craft. I'm a welder/ fabricator so I'm no woodworker but often the skills still translate from craft to craft. Especially the desire to put out quality work, the attention to detail and the building of knowledge over time.
    Thank you lou!

    Louis, I have been following your skiff build here sines about 1/4 of the way through. I have to say, your filming and editing of all of this is superb. Keith Rucker (Machinist Extrodinair) after 200 vids, just did an in-depth look at all his filming equipment a few days ago, ( not the editing computer stuff though) and and it sure was an eye opener to see his mobile gear for all his shots. His vids are similar to yours in the amount and detail of all his shots. He is a pretty amazing human too, as I think you are. Maybe consider, some time in the next year or so when you need extra content doing what he did? I would LOVE to see your setup my friend. Watching you two is like hanging out with my favourite uncles...

    I’m enjoying this ship building stuff! It’s like building a boat without getting sawdust all over. Eazy-peazey clean up. I was listening to you on the touch up using the Ryobi planer. I think you could build a sled and shim or stack some material to compensate for an out of square piece of symmetrical stock. Like milling baseboard with an angle. Just a thought, your way more accomplished than I am. I met my match 😢 / 😊 incidentally, try the lime green Pica dry Pencil , it’s very good for template and leaves a nice dark line. Good for cleaning up to the line and staying on either side of the line, waste or clean side. You’ll like it. 👍

      he's got the zip tie just tight enough to engage the trigger but still loose enough he can slip it off as needed. He's got an older video where he shows all the things he did to that electric hand plane to get it just right for him, much recommended

    Just watched two of your videos from 2018 of the Mystic Wooden Boat Show. Some really lovely boats there. A big surprise when you were looking at Draken Harald Harfagre. I had forgotten that it was there. Hopefully it will get to do what it was built for as things get back to near normal. I'd love to see you do a tour of Draken, and hear more of your thoughts. And from the videos I've seen, she certainly does move well.

    Hi Louis, I love your videos, went back to your TotalBoat Work Skiff series👍...
    I did a restoration on a 1972 Boston Whaler Outrage 21 a few years ago. Lived up around your area in the early '70s. My favorite hobby shop was in Wickford, there is a lot of great old architecture in the houses around there. Are Dells Italian ices still in business around your area? GaryB(FL now)

    • @boooshes
      @boooshes 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Having built several boats in limited spaces, I would recommend having 1.5 to 2' of clearance around the perimeter for work room. This would limit you to 13 or 14' in length. If you get clever and build on a rolling strongback so that you can shift the boat around as needed, you might get to a 15 or 16 footer by placing the project on angle. You will have a much better building experience, however, if you have lots of clear working room

    Sorry, but I just cannot let this one go, 'cos damn I loved the high free-board better - the look she had immediately after the installation of that last side-plank. To me this sheer line, well, butchers an otherwise beautiful blue-water boat. You may call it a skiff all you want but not every wooden vessel has to be built with dragging nets or lobster-traps over the railing in mind.

      It has long been the synonym for "circular saw. Plenty of examples for this, like Coke for soft drink, Kleenex for tissue, Jacuzzi for spa, Chapstick for lip balm, Q-tips for cotton swabs, Velcro for hook-and-loop fasteners, Band-Aids for any gauze/tape hybrid, Xerox for copier, Formica for plastic laminate, etc.
