Sole of a Boat, Wooden Boat Pilot House. SDP Ep. 64

- In order to prepare the engine room for additional epoxy work, I decided to build the pilot house sole, directly above the engine room, in order to enclose the space so it could be heated. The process involved some standard woodworking joinery including dovetails, half-lap joints and dado's. It was a bit complex for an amateur like me but it was a lot of fun machining and fitting all the lumber.
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!

It's just fantastic to see the bride involved. Full dovetails are the bomb. The boat is looking great. Do it your way.
This is kinda fun to watch. It looks like you do careful work. Its a big project.
Man... this guy is good! Makes you wonder about the guys who built the big wooden boats like the Vikings or the Spanish... man, this must have been hellish work!
Always good to see the better half getting involved
Keep up the great work
You’ve come a long way from first building the frames for the shed! Congratulations Skipper!
Measurements :I am so glad we have the decimal system.meauring in inches is so complicated !!!....anyway you doing great on the building of the boat....gereetings from belguim
great golf cart application!
Really good video, liked how you did the structure over your ER. Also , the attractive lady helping you did a great job!!
Nicely done. Great assistance from your wife, “The Admiral “. Happy New Year
Well done, this looking good.
I gotta admit, favorite video yet. Really enjoy your work. Thanks!
Isn't it nice to have a nice flat deck to walk around on. Even if it is a small section of the project. It's just a good feeling.
Looking great Scott. Keep it up.
Ha ha ha, "great Scott" made me think of Doc Brown from "Back to the Future".
exactly, it just feels good!
Awesome wife there and the wood joints looked pretty good too
hi boat is looking very good
That was definitely some good looking help you had there. I'm not sure, but I think I saw her smile like she was having a good time. You may be buying her a set of tools before long. Thank you for the update. The framing of the pilot house sole looks very nice. Good work. Take care, stay well and have a great week ahead.
awesome tape measure tip!
It was a joy to watch you assemble this part of the boat build. Your woodworking skills really show through. Great work and thanks for the video!
Looking good, I love your attention to detail. Thanks for explaining the measuring game I was taught about that in about 1971 by a 60-year-old finish Carpenter that worked for my father. Keep going this is an amazing project, thank you for including us.
Great video Scott you’re doing a really good job, she’ll be something to be proud of, keep up the good work.
Been watching this build for a while now, always happy to see progress on the boat!!!
I've been watching you build your boat for over a year now and it's coming along well I think can't wait to see you put it in the water
Great video!
NICE Job!!!
Great progress. That’s a fine looking vessel in the introduction to this video something to aspire to. 👍
Scott, you give a lot for us dreamers and boat builder. Thank you so much!
Leo would be proud. That is some fine woodwork. Great Video.
I love watching his joinery and chisel work, he's a very talented guy.
@@SixPointsWoodWorks He's amazing. That was great work on your part also. Live watching the channel.
I really enjoyed this episode. Thanks. Lots of building, good narration where needed and time lapse on long winded parts. You are getting good at this. I also like your can do, learn as you go, know your shortcomings attitude. You can build your second one in half the time 😂
That was some great work and an entertaining video. I felt a vicarious sense of satisfaction every time a piece was put into place. Once again, great work, thank you.
That is going to be a real addition to your lives. The workmanship is very very fine. It just shows how talented you are. Well done.
Thanks Graham, it was a fun part of the project.
Well done, looks wonderful. Coming together x
FantStic job looks amazing so far
Bless you and yours! Great work!
happynew year !!! It's always a pleasure to see how you're progressing on the boat
Always appreciate the attention to detail. Keep up the hard work.
Terrific progress, loved this episode!
Congratulations, the sole is looking great.
One word!! NICE!!
Nice work on the joinery, looks satisfying.
Nice work Captain!
that is some pretty complex joinery! Nice job man
Very nice job, thanks.
Always enjoy your videos. 😊 thanks.
It's looking great Scott!! Keep going!! DD
Love how you left the comment in
no doubt that was staying in!
Fabulous woodwork
You should invite the Admiral on board way more often. She adds beauty to your channel. That is always a good thing.
I think that's an excellent idea!
Well done!
Happy New Year to you and the Admiral. Best wishes on the project. Stay healthy.
You are making good progress and doing good work.😀👍⛵️
Super good progress! Wow you had superb assist. Thanks for early video. P. G. texas
Uhm...wow. That's a lot of work for the PH sole! Good job! After watching this I am glad I built in Steel ;). Also I put my PH sole in as soon as the two bulkheads and frame within the PH so that the sole LOCKED those frames square. Then could use those as a reference to square the rest of the frames , so i was surprised your just now putting this in. Thanks for sharing
I have 'binge watched' and thought I had subscribed. Now I will keep up to date!
I love the way Joiners minds work. I learn so much by watching.
check out Japanese joinery, amazing stuff.
@@SixPointsWoodWorks Yeah. I will check it out. Thanx.
That is some really nice joinery work on that framing. I don't know how I would have done it but I like your solution.
Great work good to see wife helping you. Happy New Year to you all
LOOKING GREAT. HAPPY NEW YEAR
I feel sorry for the people that dislike your videos. How miserable they must be. Fantastic work. Very satisfying to watch as well.
Happy New Year to you and yours. and thank you for making me wake up, I look forward to the day he goes on the water
Haha your wife is charming ! She can drive the boat, and you can put your feet up an relax ! Yeh right ,, guys like you never relax.
Another great episode Sgt. Happy new year.
Any project is only as strong as it's weakest link. But what happens when there are no weak links? That sole is absolutely bullet proof my friend. Another great video.
Very nice of you to say, I think it's pretty solid, time will tell.
It doesn't matter what the book says, stick with what you know well and the result will be the same. Good job.
Glad to see that you aren't using the radial arm for rips. The kickback can be deadly.
Nice camera work, much improved over the original.
I'm thinking you have made an excellent choice for an Admiral on those long lonely cruises.
Well, make that even for those "quickie" cruises. LOL.
G'day Scott,,
This episode was one of the best so far...
Aside from the Admiral doing her annual inspection ,
just seemed like lots of progress was made , with some great carpentry skills on show, resulting in a feast of dove tails and a tight ship .
Nice one Scott ,its really taking shape now,,,
errr now that her indoors has contributed ,,
of course .
Quite the sence of humour too.
Best wishes to you & the family for New Year
Much Respect

I understand the concept of sanctuary, but the Admiral is an underused resource.
Whops someone missed a nail a 2:54
You needed Mr Chickadee for those joints!
Happy New Year
You're guest star (The Admiral) surely classed up this episode! Also, I felt your pain when fitting in the plywood sole. Perhaps the sliding tang on the tape gotcha??? Cheers!
Happy New Year Scott! Loving the awesome progress!
That fast set Thixo really has it's place. I like the regular for filet's and joinery but that fast set is real nice for glue ups and assembly. Lets hope for a great year of progress for all!
Look at the Sampson boat co to see how to add tapered joints in the sole beams
To be fair, Leo at Tally Ho is a very fine craftsman boat builder of many years standing. But we can all learn I guess
Scott knows about Leo and Alix and Steve, and is choosing another alternative.
I've just spread some leftover epoxy on a patch for fairing later and it to 3 days to fully cure in daytime temps of 7 degrees C. Good advice on measuring. Loved the joinery, The Admiral looks very capable , to the point that I wonder if she hasn't done a bit of wood butchering herself over the years..... Happy new year.
Most of the Totalboat epoxy products seem to need about 55 degrees F to cure reasonably quickly. However I've read varying opinions on how low temperature curing can affect strength of the cured epoxy. Given enough time, all properly mixed epoxy will cure but it seems likely that low temperature curing does impact strength. I wouldn't worry about it for fairing or filets but just my 2 cents. And my girl knows how to handle herself on the job site no doubt.
The wife made me think, your hairy faced and improbably excited hair colleagues seem to have army's of helpers. How come your Billy no mates? Oh, and loving the production values, cut aways, time laps multi camera , and editing 👍
I always invite my wife into the shop, even if she isn't helping, just to pretty up the place. She's been doing that for over 48 years.
I love when she works with me. I know it's not her thing but she usually enjoys the stuff I need her help with.
Nice👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🇮🇹
Happy New Year 🎉🍾🎉🍾🎉
Happy new year!
I see you have your whole lineup of red power tools nice are they sponsoring you or what or are you just finding them to be awesome?
this boat is going to be AWESOME! Defiantly has a place in between acorn to arabella and tally ho! would be cool to see them all together when they are finished!
I have never seen dovetails that are cut to change their depth ! Must be a furniture maker "thing" !
I am bummed that I am all caught up. Love your channel. Are you going to insulate in between the planking and inside walls. It might be handy when you're in the tropics.
Good looking girl !
man what an ambitious project. I toss around the idea of building a boat once in awhile. Wish I was your neighbor! BTW, have you got an engine yet? what will it be?
I got the same tape measure tht yr using the Milwaukee I loved it at first then the tip broke off after about a month if that
really brave running old wood with possible nails thru expensive blades
I'm not sure about gluing all of these joints together. Boats need to flex a lot. Most bolts use similar joinery, but bolt everything together for future service and it allows some flexibility. A have never seen this recommended in any boat building boat.
Just watching a "Salt and Tar " video and am noticing similarities in your boat framing and tthe boat they built.Perhaps you are aware of this? Looks great!
shouldn't the access area cross supports have a stop shoulder instead of a continuous taper?
I have to remind myself and others when videoing that all comments are recorded and how will they sound later ! lol.
I love how you say machining instead of milling , must trigger the purists 🍻🇨🇦👨🏭 getting it done!
“ The joinery was a little complicated for a person like me”. Dude, you’re building a sea-going vessel in your backyard. Cut yourself some slack. Lol. Great video, thanks!
Why do Americans call people "dude" I can understand dud, but dude ?
@@graham6229 pronounced “dood”. From the old American west. A term still in use today to describe cowboys. It’s where the name “Dude ranch” comes from. It’s also a term of greeting like “Man” or “Brother”. Also, it’s probably a good bet that whoever’s using the term Dude likes to smoke weed. ✌️😉 A dud is when you drop a bomb and it doesn’t explode.
I think the animals are just checking to see if the Ark is loading.
Did you buy a full set of plans from George Beuhler ?
So how long have you been married? Good video.
Don't know what cops get paid, but always heard they were almost as underpaid as teachers. Just wondering how you fit this into your budget if you're retired already, at a relatively early age? Must have made some great investments or "The Admiral" makes good money. Anyway, nice bit of progress in this video. Good to have a closable section to work in for warming a room that needs epoxy work done in it.
Thanks to the Admiral for her help and funny comment. Hope to see more of her in future videos, even before the duck hits the water.
Happy New Year to both of you and all my fellow viewers.
Depends on the department, NY police on average do fairly well
With you at the helm, who needs CC
note: keep up your work ethics, and you'll be splashing her real soon!
5:38 I've probably been made too paranoid from the numerous times I've thumped the concrete when a spanner has slipped working on a car, but to reduce the number of grimace faces induced by at least one, could you wear gloves or use a longer spanner when doing this next time? :-D
Godt gå håber I bliver glade for båden med alt for båden med alt
Godt nytår til jer Hilsen fra Danmark
seems like you're winging it a bit here. isnt the construction of the sole called out in the plans? maybe i missed something. great video.
no specific details on sole framing are indicated for the pilot house. That's true in a lot of the parts of boat plans. dimensions and requirements are indicated but specifics are often left to the builder.
I'm sure it didn't make it past you that your going to want to be getting to that motor every time it runs.
Dude! Looks like you married UP! Ha
Goodonyas, go get'm tiger!
I always say that. She's smart too!
