- No need for pulleys, cables or bungie cords, this retractable, kick up rudder can be operated with one hand in one simple movement! As work progresses on the sailing tender, for Steve Denette's Arabella, Bob comes up with a simple kick up rudder. Using a re-salvaged tiller and recycled material you won't believe how well it works. In addition to the White Oak cheeks and the Mahogany blade boat builder Bob Emser cast some custom bronze Pintle and Gudgeons and other bronze fitting for the Dinghy Victoria.
“If you’re going to make it, make it beautiful.”

This literally is the art of boat building!
I saw diagrams that felt a little like the science of boatbuilding but I’m giving him a pass this one time
@@MikeWest_W indeed it is. Hope he made a spare too. Rudders have a tendency to break at the most inappropriate time. And sure it might be unlikely. Yet the blade...
My heart broke a little bit when the mahogany was painted white.
What an elegant piece of work. I am thinking how perfectly this little jewel of a tender will enhance Arabella. Top level video pedagogy, as well.
This episode could have easily been an hour longer. So much fun to watch!
Ingenious design and well built 👏
An elegant rudder for the elegant Victoria.
So true. I too was so engaged that I check the episode length, hoping it was longer than usual.
Well this episode was one of my favorites. A true example of The Art of Boat Building and a fine example of a combination of trades.
Well Done!
It amazes me. . . an idea in your head, designed onto paper, made into parts, assembled on the boat, and have it actually work! Beautifully done.
An episode full of so many skills; casting, machining and metal work, and wood working. All coming together with a big dose of Bob Emser ingenuity. Well done and bravo!
Excellent comment, Drop_D Tuned. Nice to see a fellow guitarist following this channel. Cheers!
Thank you @Todd Brown! Keep on pick’n and grin’ng🎸
Also 3D modelling and 3D printing. What a great episode.
Just as your channel announces: ART at its finest, Skipper! A beautiful job, done in the dreamiest workshop ever. ⚓🙏🌟
Totally Blown-away, what a elegant design for a kick-up rudder and a dinghy for Arabella.
Dear Bob, when good work, technique, perseverance and the formula for solving situations that for others are irresolvable are combined in a person, the artist emerges. It is legitimate to feel pride of a job well done, which combines a large number of capacities and skills from foundry of bronze to carpentry, receive my most sincere congratulations and the recognition of a sailor at heart. You already have one more subscriber. My best regards
Ed
Thanks Ed
You've gone from fine engineering to pure art! You are a master! That rudder is a superb piece of craftsmanship. We are NOT yet doomed! Thank you!
Nice! Mixed medium precision. Wood, brass, epoxy, each designed and brought together for a nifty solution to a real world need.
The flip action of the rudder looks so smooth, efficient, and effective. Bob certainly put his signature on this one.
Thanks for sharing.
An elegant solution (done elegantly) to an old problem
Truly, I've raced Lasers and 470's with retracting rudders, yet have never seen one so elegant. Bob, your a joy to watch, simply magnificent piece of quality furniture.
The artistry and passion of exceptional craftsmanship.
What a joy to see someone using feet, inches, fractional inches, thou, letter drills, TPI, etc. People who only use metric units don't realise how intuitive, flexible and useful imperial units can be. Some of them think we are idiots stuck in the past. I was lucky to have been raised with both. One of my most useful little books gives a table comparing mm with fractional inches, number and letter drills, etc. As you say, you can move stepwise up the diameters only a few thou at a time using all these different series. My machine tools have leadscrews of 8 TPI, so why would I want to junk them for expensive new machines with metric leadscrews? Or junk my imperial micrometers? Or my BA/ME/Whit/BSF taps and dies? Or my toolroom 6" ruler - by far the clearest ruler I've ever owned.
Genius. So many skills at play here.
The perfect marriage of form and function. True genius.
Hi Bob, it was fascinating to watch your process figuring out the linkage for the raisable rudder. I learn a little something from every video! One takeaway I’m applying to my own projects is your habit of drawing things out to scale. Well done, and thanks again for sharing your experiences and talents with us!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful, Robert, beautiful.
fantastic craftmanship. thanks for the great viewing
You know, there's people that do what they can. And then there's people that do what they want...
What a life man! Big ass shed, all the tools, working with bronze, mahogany, oak, adapting, inventing, one-offs...jeez, i bet you dont want to go home. Very nice work btw, top notch.
What a good idea, thank you!
Turned out so clean and pretty
I feel like I’m watching the boat version of New Yankee workshop with Norm! Great stuff.
I have learned alot watching you work. I am impressed.
If you're going to make it make it Beautiful and that you've done Bob
A true masterclass of concept, design and execution. Is there anything you cannot turn your hand to? A real pleasure to watch.
That's lovely. But I think a bit of threadlock on the pivot screws might be called for. (Also maybe make a couple of spare screws to keep in the boat, as losing one would leave you with a rudder that keeps floating up)
I was going to suggest the same. Last thing Steve will want to do is source one-off fasteners in some distant port.
Yes!
Wow !!
That is pure genius
Bob, you out did yourself! That was ingenious. I am in hopes that you put a little hole crossways through the bottom pintle so that a cotter pin or small wire ring can be run through to keep the rudder from coming up and out of the gudgeon.
You are a pure craftsman among craftsmen.
You designed a clever four bar linkage for the tiller.
Amazing and enjoying to watch. This is art and all done using the Imperial Measurement system.
Very interesting and intriguing how you solved the problem… Must see TV😂😂👍😎
Wow this is such a beautiful piece of work. This is going to one stunning tender.
i'm 5 and a half minutes in and this is easily my favorite video from the channel. had to stop and comment. nice work! i wish you would post the geometry of the rudder so i can build one for my pram
You are a true artist! Well done!
I've never built a boat. However, I own land on an isolated lake and desire to build a beautiful sailing dory from local wood. I find your "Art of Boat Building" channel very inspiring. Thank you
My goodness, you are an excellent craftmans
The most impressive episode yet.
Ok , I’m well and truly impressed ! Excellent craftsmanship, and a wonderful rudder 😃😃🍻
Excellent workmanship. Engineering and artistic concepts merge in perfection. It is beautiful!
Outstanding craftsmanship. And what a novel and brilliant kick up rudder design. I built the 9 foot Steve Redmond “Tetra” featured in Wooden Boat #284 in the Launchings section. I wanted to give it a kick up rudder, and tried a bungee system, but it never worked well. I may have to try this. Btw, I asked Kirby Paints to mix me some green like your catboat, and they sent me a can labeled “Bob Emser Green. 😊
Absolutely beautiful work Bob, Victoria will outlive all of us.
Wow....what a combination of skills.
Totally an artist!
Excellent design and execution!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful as always
16:40 Great job designing it to be taken apart. Not only will that mechanism need to be accessed, the inner faces will need to be cleaned periodically if it's in the water for extended time as Steve plans to do.
That is a beautiful thing Bob. Kudos for you!
Thanks Kev!
Heat Tiller is so frickin' cool. I don't know if it's a common thing in sailing dinghies but if it's not you should patent that. And it's beautiful to boot.
Excellent solution. Very classy and functional.
Masterful craftsmanship. ❤
Damn Bob, beautiful work on this one. The tender is really coming together!
Amazing piece of quality workmanship.
Tis a privilege to watch you work. Thank you,
SWEET!!!!!!!! Magic! I did one similar to this to replicate a kickup for a Vagabond 14. I did the same process with templates
It did work but you added some ART with the old tiller too. BRILLIANT! Nice nice work!
Nice to see a fellow San Luis Yacht Club Staff Commodore following this channel. Beautiful work. I picked up on this channel after following Acorn to Arabella for the last several years!!!
Very nice job. Beautiful. A lot of time spent. You are very good builder.
Now that's one very cool retractable rudder! Nice work on that.
Bob, this rudder is amazing! The bronze work looks like jewelry!
Excellent work sir! Congratulations
A lovely piece of design, well thought out and beautifully executed....
Lovely work, Bob! It looks beautiful and works amazingly! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Very beautiful
Great craftsmanship
I just found your channel. Just to get some tips for my little wood hydroplane I build a couple years ago. But this video here got me . I subscribe to your channel . After seeing your bronze work and building that boat rudder. That’s a lost art .
That is a work of art!
Wow, more beautiful, functional artwork!
God, do I love the metric system - 1/32 second of an inch... - thanks for the great work!
At WoodenBoat School an instructor bellowed, “There’s no 32nd’s in boat building!” He wasn’t Bob.
Pure craftsmanship
The bronze fittings are just beautiful! I was skeptical about the use of silver solder in tension; so I looked up the properties of silver solder and saw that it has a strength of 70 ksi; so, better than structural steel. I am learning a lot from your videos and those from A2A.
I really enjoyed that one, thanks Bob. Also, Its so nice that not an ounce of " manufactured redundancy" is present.
This a has to be the absolute most satisfying video ever.
This channel is almost therapeutic!
Absolutely the best episode yet of all your builds!
very hight class work all my respect and admiration guillaume paris
I'm blown away with the science required. Makes my head hurt. Then calms me down, just watching the process. Mike 🇦🇺
Great job on the flip up rudder. Your work is amazing. I like the old metal lathe I would bet that it is older than your friend Steve. I really enjoy your videos.
Great video, very clear and concise and as I am about to undertake a similar Dinghy rudder rebuild myself (1970's CSC Caprice - 15 ft) also very useful in what I will have to do. I will not undertake the retraction mechanism at this stage but will modify the unit somewhat later when I have resources to perform the metal working side of the job. Having worked with wood for much of my 70+ years, I was very interested in learning about the Potasium Dichromate process. Well done and thanks.
Beyond brilliant!
That rudder not only looks great but it also is functional! Great job bob!
Just incredible, a true piece of art, old and nearly forgotten techniques thoughtfully blended with modern materials to make a multi use item. Thank you again sir for taking us mere mortals on your journey.
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.
Thar looks great Bob! You are a true craftsman.
Beautiful craftsmanship!
Your attention to detail is fantastic, so impressed
Beautiful craftsmanship as usual.
Absolutely awesome. I may make one for my PT-11.
Great design, well engineered and beautifully build. Great tutorial and video.
Mr. Emser,
You are simply the best. I'm really impressed. You are a true professional.
Greetings from The Netherlands
Phenomenal Bob. Excellent work. Thank you for this presentation.
Bob has so many talents! Working with metal may just be his best tho. He really knows how to work with pretty much anything he puts his mind too tho.
Well, it works pretty good, I’m very pleased with that.
YOU SHOULD BE, Bob! This was wonderful to watch
Very nice elegant work
Thank you!
It is so nice to have again a view, how YOU are constructing and building all the details, needed for such a nice rudder! Thanks for it!
Excellent quality, Sir! :-)
You do beautiful work Robert. Your video’s are most enjoyable to watch.
Thank you from Missouri.
