This is one of the best examples of documentation on this platform, with none of the usual nonsense distractions generally confused with entertainment expected by the masses in this currently overstimulated “modern” day. Thank You for your generosity in promulgating this to any aspiring builders
Fantastic skills and tool use along with a wealth of knowledge. I missed my vocation as I should have been a boat builder but at 60 I am too old now to spend years learning. I can still appreciate the skills of others though. Thanks so much for this great film.
You are not too old. There are many designs that take very little learning. When I was 68 I built a Michalak AF3, took her to Texas & sailed in the Texas 200. I turned 69 on Matagorda Island, the 4th camp of the sail. I plan to go back this year & turn 70 on some island on the Texas coast. Do it, it's never to late.
Maybe you or someone can answer this...Do you have to use fiberglass cloth over wood if it's going to be only in warm-weather climate? What about in salt water?
jarrod martin Well of course you don't HAVE to use fibreglass over wood. For thousands of years men sailed in both salt and fresh water without fibreglass.
Thanks for sharing,I really like the fairing tool.The fact its on Beta is cool too.But its amazing that a 10$ camera has better picture quality then what was no doubt top of the line back then.
Ahoy there "Blackbush"! .... You once lent me this video on a disc so it's wonderful to stumble onto it here...thanks for putting it up....you're the best craftsman I've ever known. I wish Rylee could work with you....he'd just soak it up. May I suggest that you link to a site showing Mentor or some of your other creations. I have the Woodeboat Magazine calender image of Mentor on permanent display on my office wall. ...all the best to you and to Mrs. Blackbush as well. -Norman in Duncan
lofting such fun, hard on the knees,cedar seems best batten material, wester red, usually i lift lines with mylar, which comes in rolls, stable, no stretch
hello, I'm starting with the construction of my first sailboat, and looking for information on different manufacturing techniques I found your video. congratulations for the quality of work and patience to do it. I have only one question, how long it took the end of the sailboat? thanks for your response and for sharing this masterpiece. im from Monterrey Mexico.
Most Definitely! Unfortunately the person who has this lovely boat now, is dealing with the fallout of that oversight. Pretty darn good work otherwise, save for failing horribly at going into the merits of deck coring or The paramount capping of plywood end grain

I actually meant an employed boat builder, not a private one but I applaud you for your fantastic achievement.

Hi Norman! - I put the link in - I will keep Rylee in mind for the next big one, not for a while, Terra Nova. "Mrs Blackbush" sends her love. - Jim
Beautiful boat. First video indicates this is a Gary Mull design. Are the plans still available for purchase? I haven't been able to find them.
HI. I am thinking about building a Glen L design. Just wondering did you finish "Frosty Morn"? thank you
Thank you, very useful for my country, really want to make. What kind of wood is best? thank you

I am from Kuwait nice work
I's the b'y that builds the boat
And I's the b'y that sails her

And brings them home to Liza.

Micro balloons is a filler material. You should be using silica thckner for structure.
