That knife/chisel thing you were talking about sounds like it is VERY much better than you think. Any blade that is inclined to rust is likely to have a very high carbon content which means it's very hard and will hold an edge. The best knives that hold an edge have a mix of high chromium (a component of stainless steel) and high carbon steel. Actually in my opinion, I would rather have a blade made out of file steel that rusts easily, than stainless steel which never rusts. I make all my own cutting tools and my favorite steels come from old saw blades and files. Just polish them, keep them clean and lightly oiled and you have the best tools in the world.
agung Laksono thank you very much! I really appreciate that my friend. It's my first time making a boat, but hope most of all, I give people courage to build a wooden boat for fun. We don't need to be rich. :)
Love the tracking idea if it is a crowd/community signaled tracking system. Anyone near the device will pick up on the tracker and feed that info automatically to the main system that can then notify you where the last signal was pinged from your device. As far as hiding it in the boat to where the boat would have to be torn apart, remember that electronic devices need a live feed or batteries. Loving the curves, but waiting to see your "fix" for the maligned "gap" in the stripping. For future reference, maybe think about figuring out the reduction in the width of the strips and design the forward curves proportionally?
i just wrote a lovely long supportive message and my page decided to reload, so ill keep it simple, looks great, looking forward to that last couple of strips and how you get over it, all the best mate keep on keeping on! :-)
Andrew love your work on the boat, I Would like to get a set of plans if you ever get a chance to make them ! I might make few changes in them ! (used to work in a boat shop rebuilding high end boats) right now I,m teaching my son the trade (rebuilding a p.o.c canoe ! p o c -- peace of cra.... I,m hoping to latter on start a home built wood boat show & shine to gwt others into it! thanks Zane
Hi, Unless the tracker unit is powered by the batteries then the device would run out of power, if you power it from the batteries then the wiring will lead anyone to the location of the tracker, or the power could be disconnected by a thief.
Andrew, enjoying the videos. I am not sure how a Bluetooth tracking device would work with a stolen boat unless the stolen boat was within 30 feet of your phone and you were wearing a blindfold? Was this humor? I'd write more but I need to find my car keys.....
+Daniel Culpepper I partially agree, though to be honest, they are used for cars, keys, bikes tools etc. more and more people are using them, so the likelihood of finding the boat is much more significant than without it I'm sure. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos, I think things are about to get interesting as I soon switch over to working on the deck and interior. :)
I do know that best buy sells trackers online that use GPS cell combo for things similar I actually have one on my dog collar so if she gets out I can tracker her on a map
And also don't you need to change the batteries in the tracker or do they last long enough that you don't need to worry about that ? And by the way I really enjoy your videos ;-) Keep doing what you like !
Steven Royer yes those are brilliant. I have one, it's a small rectangular box, but I need to pay a cell phone service to track it. I like the thought of the crowd funded trackers in the video. But I guess it's hard to say if someone with that app is going to get close enough to the boat to show up on a map… Who knows, but it was cheap enough for me to try at least.
gaby ananas they say the batteries last for over a year. So as long as I replace at the end of each summer I should be good for another year. The batteries are cheap enough too. Thank you very much for the kind words. I really appreciate that! :-)
There are lots of plans, tons of methods, don't listen to the trolls, as there are plenty ;) Just follow your own path to something you like the look of. Check out American Boathead on youtube, his boats are some of what inspired me to design mine from scratch. Whatever you do, have fun.
Andrew I hope you are not using Gorilla glue for structural work because it does not work as a filler if there is any gap between the bonding surfaces there is zero strength to the bond check the guy out on youtube testing it comes apart in your hands as if they are not glued but is as good as most glue when it's two flat surfaces together
+DENIS REEVES also, as I wait for gas ⛽️ in my car, only flat wood to wood connections are made with the glue. Only one seen has a "filler" type aspect to it, but this will be sealed with epoxy, then fiberglassed.
The question is how long will it last. A coating of glass will keep water out till it splits due to a weak bond with the joints. Sorry dude your giving it a good try you just need to have better understanding of tight bonds. That flex you think is good is what will be the downfall.
Great 😊. Sail from South Africa to Scotland. 8000 miles. One way .❤
Very good!
+Rewind Remix thanks buddy!

Like your video. New subscriber. This will help a lot.
Good
that cut for the transom looks complicated, but it looks very good
I really like the way you make a video ... the explanation is very detailed

Clearly explained, good job

Bloody hell, sorry Lee. I do appreciate all the support my friend, all the best!
I like your boat I wish I have one...

nice love your work
Wow, you were quick Nick! Thank you my friend
Your voice sounds relaxing

thanks Greg!

Aqui no Brasil TrackR.Bravo não funciona como deveria.
It doesn’t work very well here also
Great! Keep going mate :)
Thank you! No stopping me now :) I have a trip to get ready for ;)
At least Gorilla Glue is made in USA. Good quality.
WOW!
Thanks Rick :)
No battery to change in the tracker?
It will last over a year they say
based on bluetooth.....cell always empty.....not a good ideea.....scrap

nice boat how can i make one

ty
how do you register a wooden boat u make
melvin you register it as a home built craft!
I cant say that ive ever seen a hull with that shape, why is it shaped that way.
It’s how I designed it on paper. I simply built it that way. It rides nicely.
Where is number 17
Andrew I hope you are not using Gorilla glue for structural work because it does not work as a filler if there is any gap between the bonding surfaces there is zero strength to the bond check the guy out on youtube testing it comes apart in your hands as if they are not glued but is as good as most glue when it's two flat surfaces together
It's all good. I'm fiberglassing everything structural. Plus plenty of others that have used it before for boats like this. She'll float ;)
+DENIS REEVES also, as I wait for gas ⛽️ in my car, only flat wood to wood connections are made with the glue. Only one seen has a "filler" type aspect to it, but this will be sealed with epoxy, then fiberglassed.

As a professional boat builder........this is painful to watch. Terrible design. Awful execution. A HUGE waste of time.
sailorman then why watch it?
