Building the 23' V-Bottom Skiff - Episode 5: Installing the chines
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ย. 2020
- Our V-Bottom skiff is really starting to take shape and this week is a big moment because we're installing the chines. You remember we sourced these at the lumber mill and then processed them in my front yard and now they're going in the boat. The chines are very important pieces in the boat and that why we went through a lot of trouble to get just the right lumber. They need to be fit inside the bottom plank and up against the stem in the bow and then bent inboard back aft until they can clear the transom and then bend back against the back of the plank. We have to be very precise here so we don't cut them too short. We also want to take a moment to bevel the forward end of the chine to accept the bottom planking and that needs to be done off the boat because it would be hard to work on in position without damaging other parts of the boat.
Next episode - hanging frames!

I have no knowledge of boat building and really don't see myself getting into it, BUT it is so much fun to watch a superb craftsman
work. Your narrating each and every step is fascinating and watching your expertise and to see the superior result of your efforts is very gratifying....most fun to watch!!
Definition of a real craftsmen there is a picture of Louie! 👍
We are so lucky this craftsman is willing to share his hard found knowledge. Its all to common for people to take their unique knowledge to the other side with them. Now we have a platform where it can be recorded. He will be teaching for decades to come. Thank you sir.
Ok enough watching for today, now I need to walk away from the computer and get something done on my boat.
Thanks Lou you are inspirational and a great motivator.
8:30 That moment when you're trying to consider 5 different variables at the same time and also in sequence, and when you get to #5 you have forgotten what you based your value for #1 upon.
Thanks Lou, for all these wonderful videos. There's something to learn from every one of them.
Measure twice, cut once. That, was the very exemplification of the moment, really. :)
Thank you Lou for another informative video. I have to admit, I was on the edge of my seat when you and Caleb bent that chine in. I was just imagining the loud crack it would make if it broke. Whew! Bent right in there and didn't even groan. Take care and stay well.
Two Lou's in the same week. Cheers from southern Brazil.
You are a true grand master of your craft Lou ! So glad we get to go for the ride n knowledge
Hey Lou. My name is Dave Ramsay. I enjpy your vids so much this must be the third or forth time I've watched this series,,,what I wouldn't give to stand silently and take in what your laying down. I can see exactly how your building this v bottom and love how accurately things line up for you ,,,I work at a mill in sooke b.c. we mill old growth red and yellow cedar. There is even a show about us. Called big timbre. So it's on the history Chanel and if you watch it you will see a blond good lookin guy and that's me. Any way just wanted to say hi and if your ever on the island pop in. See what my boss has going on. He is quite the character and realy good guy and nice family. Take care
Lou's Craftmanship and a cup of coffee. Perfect morning
Thanks Lou, I'm certainly enjoying the build. Stay safe.
Hi Lou. Enjoying season three. I can’t watch every week and have appreciated having the episodes numbered as in previous seasons. Can you go back to numbering each episode? Helps me not miss anything. Keep up the good work. Thanks
You are truly an artist....
I'm glad to see slotted screws being used here. With a little practice and the right bits they're just as easy to use as any other fastening.
Getting them out again... not so much.
Very nice, Shaving end grain on a piece of wood with an electric planer can blow out the edges into a mess. i block it in before going at it. Its nice to see Caleb back in the shop. He doesn't say much.
And apparently forgets to plug in the electric plane occasionally.

V-bottoms take a lot of thinking, indeed! Looking fab, Lou!
Bevels in three dimentions at the same time will burn out neurons in most minds. Years of working in 3-D construction helps, but it still takes the masters some concentration in the moment.
Always a pleasure to see your progress.
What is the value of being at the elbow of someone with this much experience and this much ability to explain why and how to do things the right way? I can't thank you enough.
Louie you the man !! This is Brett , i’m in Florida , back next week!!
i have no idea where you get thumbs down from. Your work is amazing.. love watching your videos Lou
Lou, you’re my new favorite guy on TH-cam! Keep it up.
The Bob Ross of Boat Building!
Happy Little Shavings?
@@thomasarussellsr lmao
Do you think he might be laid back on a boat somewhere sometimes and watch little happy waves go by ?
Thanks Lou, very interesting to watch it come together!
In 10 or 15 years, we’ll be watching Caleb make boats with the craftsmanship that he learned from Lou.
Magic craftmanship .. great job!!
Nicely done, and great bit of education too. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us again, Lou. I really enjoyed it.
The finest cinematic moment in three years of TFS: 8:28
Praying for the day this guy builds a simple jon boat.
Thanks for all you do Lou.
Great to see you Lou! Loving the content
Loved this video.
As always, Very interesting. I look forward to the next Video.
Nice work! 👍👍
Amazing work!!
Nice work!
Great job!
a Double Louis Day is always a good day.
Double?

excellent work there keep her up
Grande profissional, Excelente Professor, aprendo com todos os vídeos seus, parabéns e muito obrigado.
When you are working the fronts of your chine logs Lou, I have a way that would simplify your life. Your using your small blick plant to get the right angle for your chines up front; however your block plane doesn't allow you to plane that inner angle to make it perfect. You need a two cherries v plane in order to gain access to the very inner corner of your chines. They can have the side laid down against the angle in your chine on either side to get the desired firment you need. Or, you can do the lower inner side one way and the upper outer side the other way to get the chine perfectly matched for the cut already created from before. As a past master Carpenter I knew what you needed. I could see what you needed do e well before it was revealed.
LOU,
I would like to find out what it would cost me to have such a boat builtin the 28' length that is on a triple axle trailer, has a composting toilet, a couple 100lb propane bottles to provide a stove and nice sized oven & have a large enough capacity to a nice size stay on the wather nut everyone worked together to make it an adventure. The boat will be for heavy fishing conditions in Lake Erie dm
I am the monster that fishes the sloppy stuff. I need a strong motor, a tough windshield and side panels for the windows to keep water out. I am thinking 2 - 175 or 2- 225 horse Suzuki units.
Can you let me know what such a boat made by you would have a ball park figure would be. I'm looking for a very fun fishing boat, but a mild mannered runabout boat with several people letting them chill and have fun running long range to island hop excegfa
great video Lou. boy you bent the crap out of that chine log. I was worried once or twice.
8:46. 30 years ago, me and my dad working on something.
My dad. Boy, get your hands out your pocket.
Me. Wut?
Fascinating.
Finally!
I love this
You are a treasure
Lou is the BEST!
hes the best in the BIZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Louis!!! when you gona meet Leo from @sampsonboat?
@rats arsed relax man!, everybody use a patreon system to fund the projects, and i was question Louis Not you, spread you bad thing other place. Here there's no bad people only love for Boats.
👍👍🙂
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Lou, would it not be easier to put the keel, then the frames then the planks on in that order? It seems if you had the skeleton of the boat there first that would be simpler. Why have you done it in the sequence that you have?
Wow bending those logs, one slip and Caleb is shot out the door. 😬
lol
Maybe you could use mr friendly to cut that notch ?
What happened to the orca!?
What would you guys say is the dimension of that chine? 1-1/2" by 3" would you say?
K.I.S. Keep It Simple
I wish I had Lou's confidence driving slotted screws, but my history of chewed up wood and bleeding nail beds prevents me.
Have you guys started construction on the orca?
Anyone know what happened to Triwerx skiffs...I've been wanting to get a new one but don't know were he went.
what a dope
can you put a picture of the calk you use that black stuff
Whats the pipe on the planer for
Just an additional hand hold.
Yeah, I hadn't noticed the sink tailpiece before.
I was wondering if Louis used it for dust collection, but saw he has the chips coming out the right.
@@jimurrata6785 No worries. He casually mentioned it in one of the videos several years ago. It's exactly the kind of unconventional thing I might do in a similar situation, so it was good to see a master using what is available and works.
I’m here to preach the gospel of the Robertson screw drive.
Did he ever introduce the second guy?
Caleb has been with him on and off for a while.
@@jpkalishek4586 hired hand? apprentice? videographer lending pair of helping hands?
@@BAD_CONSUMER apprentice 😄
I thought he had gone away ?
Lou, ask your assistant to take his hands out of his pockets while you are giving instructions on how you use the tools to build your boat. It would make your presentation much more professional looking if it appeared that he is interested in what you are saying and doing.
Everyone has to get their nickname from somewhere. I'm not sure whether you or the young lad should now be forever known as POCKETS. I lean towards bestowing it to yourself. I dare say, this is not your first time in complaining about a young lad with his hands in his pockets. Twenty years in the army left me that I can't put my hands in my pockets and I invariably stand with arms akimbo, jealous of those around me able to stand with their hands, buried to the elbow, in their pockets in a nonchalant manner. Relax Pockets, you'll do yourself an injury.
I had a look at yourself. Not one original creative iota posted by your good self of what you can do on this TH-cam thing. Yet you critique a fine young lad willing to learn the art of the shipwright for having his hands in his pockets while the craftsman was explaining the process to the stupid on TH-cam. TH-cam, you, me and everyone else is STUPID when it comes to boat building. Shipwrights are otherworld beings.That young lad is so so lucky, that he is learning from a real craftsman
Caleb really doesn’t owe you anything and it might be cold in that shop. Get a better hobby than sniping at people for meaningless behaviour.
It's that kind of childish thinking that sets people back. There is nothing unprofessional about having your hands in your pockets, it has absolutely no bearing on his profession. It's the sign of an inadequate wanting to have power over someone. It's absolutely no business of yours which posture a man adopts.
@@ricos1497 So true. Watch any of Lou's visits to the lumber mills, or his visits to other boat houses. He often has his hands in his pockets when the hands have nothing to do, as well. Maybe Caleb is mimicking his mentor? I've never understood people's issue with other's hands in their own pockets.
3:01 here he tells the Democrats what he thinks of them!
Don't you know? Lou exists in a parallel universe where where wood planes sharpen themselves, paint never dries on the brush, and where politics simply don't exist.
