- We still battle cold temperatures but all the bilge stringers are fitted, although it has been to cold to epoxy them in place. So we moved on to chine installation on the starboard side.
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 not just boat building i'm new at!, a little user error on the Teespring store which I think I fixed but it may not display properly for a bit. There is a link in the description that you can use instead if necessary. I apologize for the error, I'll get better!.....probably.
Six Points Wood Works you are already absolutely perfect. You amaze me. No WAY that I could take on such a project. Hello I couldn’t even build the boat house. Mad deep respect to you. And for all of law enforcement. You are a true inspiration and an American hero. 🇺🇸#godblesstheunitedstates
So well done. Please keep at it. !!! Live for your video documentation. We here wish you had another pair of hands 😃
Keep the good work you are doing Greeeeeeted
Keep up the great adventure, I love watching your videos.
You have a future in show business. Keep it up brother! The boat is looking great!!!
haha yeah right, when you get an unlimited number of chances to say something its easy to look good!
It’s really coming together! I personally think what you’re doing here goes beyond just building a boat, you are building inspiration for the rest of us!
Really nice of you to say. Like i've said before, this channel is "our" community. I don't think I'm particularly special as a motivator, This particular design is within reach for all of us.
kudos!
made me look!
i’ve just ordered the Buhlers Boat Building copy.
my DIY experience could be best described as “measure once cut twice”
so i’m an armchair enthusiast.
You are doing a top job, fascinating and compelling viewing.
Thanks Alan, very nice of you to say.
Excellent I think this is great. Wish I lived next door
thanks! come for a visit anytime!
I just ordered up a t shirt and mug...happy to support your project and keep the great content coming. I encourage other subscribers to do so as well.
Thanks Bill, seriously, we really appreciate it. There's no getting around that building a boat costs money, producing content cost money, the time to do both cost money. I'm very grateful to people like you who help us build something we can be proud of while producing content that we are proud of as well.
I've never sailed, or know anything about boat sailing, I've only ridden on car ferries, that cross Galveston bay, as a child.
Watching you makes me wanna build a boat, like a bucket list project, you make it look easy. Must be George Buehler's plans, that help a lot. What's good about this project, it's like a huge assembly by numbers project, that can be done with materials anyone can obtain. Much cheaper than trying to build a car, or a vehicle, which requires specialized machinery, tools, mills and lathes.
I'm in my mid 50's now, I bet I could do it. I got plenty of tools. Just need to move closer to the Gulf of Mexico. And take swimming lessons at the "Y". 😆
Nice work! I like that you use commonly available material. I built a 38 ft. roberts in a northern town in the 80's and it was difficult to source material pre-internet. Now I learn so much on the internet from all the current projects I follow. I love your boat shop construction as I probably spent more time building two heated shops, than I did working on the boat. To all who may read this, shop building is an addiction just like boatbuilding.
You could build this whole boat with dimensional lumber and plywood. You might need to double up on some of the pieces but it could definitely be done, and was in fact designed to do just that. We used a lot of dimensional doug fir in the keel but the rest is custom milled larch and white oak. However I did that because it's very easy and cheap to get near me. The shed project was a lot of fun and is a great space for lots of different activities. I wish I built it taller, but hind sight.....
Just wondering. How many of these “I’m building a 41 foot boat experts” are actually building a boat. You sir, are beautifully talented. I’m deeply envious of you and your passion for Henry Red. She’s beautiful! And that you are doing it so much alone is very inspiring. Im going to order study plans for a boat or my own. I could certainly not take in anything of the scale you have. And am deeply humbled by your passion, drive, and ingenuity. You’re an America hero and badass!! Still sad I’m almost caught up. You rock buddy.
I have purchased through Teespring before. Great company. Although I only bought a coffee mug (at this point), I hope you are able to completely fund your dream. Thank you for the update video!
Thanks Mark! and any show of support is greatly appreciated. No need to minimize my friend, "only a mug" is absolutely great.
She’s looking so good. Keep up the great work
👍
Again. Well presented, informative and enjoyable. Well done. I look forward to your next.
Thanks Bryan, hopefully they get a little better each time. I amazed at the capabilities of modern editing software. The fact that a rookie like me can use it effectively while still being capable for hollywood movies is a testament to the designers and engineers that developed final cut pro.
I've bought teespring hoodies before, good quality and heavy duty. Have a good one.
Thanks Jerry, They've been good so far.
Hardest thing in the world to visualise 3D lines.
The line of the chine looks right, a nice flowing curve, so it must be right.
Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next installment!
It really is. You have to admire designers and architects and artists who can do it all in their head.
The line of that chine looks beautiful.
Thanks Teabone, hopefully she comes together!
Ordered a Tee shirt, I can't wait to see the fairline develop as you continue with the chine. Keep up the good work.
Your support is greatly appreciated, sincerely, thank you very much. Man I hope it fairs up nice without a ton of additional shaping.
Love the project, I've always been fascinated by this since a buddy and I built a 14' outboard in his back yard. Once you finish this sail it on up to Duluth MN, I'll buy you a beer at Canal Park
Sweet, thanks! See you in 3 to 5 years.
Great update and good progress.👍
Thanks Norm, We're getting there!
Wonderful episode
Thanks!
I always look forward to seeing your latest progress.
Thanks Robert, we're trying. In boat building, progress is a relative thing!
Thanks for sharing.Hi from northern Ontario Canada
right across the pond from us!
Looking really good Scott. Wish the weather was cooperating more. I really like your explanations as you go along. Best wishes for this upcoming week.
PS: For those who might be leery about buying from Teespring, I purchased a sweatshirt from them off the BRUPEG store and it is excellent quality. The material is thick and the fit was great. A good investment for the buyer and great support for the people providing these terrific videos. Thank you as always Scott.
Thanks Matt. Always trying to find the happy medium between long explanations and actual work.
Old schooling it !!
White oak is a very good boat and barrel wood. With a thin cut length of oak, bend it and it wont crack or break easy which a boat needs as it flex's underway where wood like mahogany will easily break crack and split.
I'm shocked at how much you can bend white oak without steaming and how far it will go without breaking.
Great video Scott!
Thanks Larry!
Cool Project, just found your channel.
It is funny to listen to a law enforcement guy say "and what could go wrong."
Brilliant work always interesting thanks for sharing 👍👍
I don't know about brilliant, but I'll take it, thanks!
You can also build a steam box to curve any wood you like to bend
I can see that you need a Steam box. It is mucho ease to work with heat it wood
Made my day thank you.
That's awesome! Thanks for following along.
Every new bit added shows up the lines more and more. If I have one piece of advice for you, it would be to make sure the step ladder is well out of the way before gluing and screwing the last section of chine log.... : ¬ } As always, I am in awe of what you achieve on your own, keep on keeping on.
indeed! I could totally see me inadvertently make that ladder part of the hull!
Hey Scott - going well - great to see. I mentioned on a previous post that you do not need to use acetone with epoxy resin for clean up, etc - use methylated spirits instead - much cheaper, far less toxic an deasily obtainable - check out other sources if you do not believe me but I do a lot of epoxy resin work...
I remember, I just keep forgetting to pick some up and try it. will do...eventually 😜
The further you get , the better it looks .
Sometimes I just stand and look at it. It really is taking shape to the point where you can imagine how the space will feel.
Wow Scott, you're making great progress and the video quality is first rate. Well done Sgt.
Thanks Jeff. Hopefully we get better as time goes on. It's always tough to find a balance between long explanations and actual work.
Well done Scott great as usual. just love what you're doing. I have been messing about with Boats of one kind or another for years I can see the enjoyment you get from your build, yes we all know it can be very frustrating at times but when it's finished you will get the benefits from your hard work. Regards from the UK>
Thanks Brian. Some days are definitely better than others and I'm tired of battling the cold but overall, damn it is a lot of fun!
Greetings from the UK. I enjoy your video's Scott, and I've been watching from the beginning. One question: why do you always say 'We' instead of 'I' since its always mostly just you! Keep up the good work...
LOL, yes I get that a lot, here is my response: We is my wife and I. I could not do this without her support and commitment to the families budget, so thats a big one. We is my son and father who are always willing to help when I need it. They appear quite a bit in our earlier videos when we were building the keel and frames. Finally, We is this online community. I don't want to sound like an after school special, but to me, this channel is a community. I talk to people from all over the world and learn from experienced builders and sailors. I see comments from the same people often in different videos. I get words of encouragement, financial support and advertisement views from you folks, which leads to income to help make this project possible. I read every comment and try to reply if I have something of value to say (that's debatable of course!), I read and respond to every email and social media message and I answer every question if I am able to. So "we" is a lot of different things and I can't stop saying it now!
hi your boat is looking good
thanks Greg!
Ezzy J @ he should be wearing full body armor, steel toe shoes, and don't forget a pocket protector!
Tool and hand clean up of epoxy, white vinegar works pretty good just not as a precleaner for joints.
I've heard that, I need to try it.
Hello, how to make this glue with the composit? how to have the sheets of composit? Are you sure the counterfeit will become waterproof? and for how long?
I was positive the first time I spiled a plank for replacement on a 34 foot boat. Thing looked strange and seemed to twist and bend all the wrong directions. It slipped in like a dream. Instead of doing the measurements like you are doing you can use a pencil compass. Just make sure you establish the distance for the arcs and maintain them the same for that plank. Looking good.
good tip, thanks!
My Brain hurts thinkin calculating and exhausted just watching lol Great Job... Time for a Nap 😀 ⛵
I finally get to tell my kids when they complain about the eternal math question of "when will I ever use this". In boat building!
You will be in good company when your white oak laminated with epoxy comes apart. Should have used Resorcinol.
I don't think so, Totalboat's high performance epoxy works great on oily and difficult to glue woods. It's what it was designed for. Check our earlier videos, we used gallons and gallons of resorcinol for the keel.
Six Points Wood Works , that’s fine, as a retired shipwrights I’m use to it. I have been offshore in one of the boats I have built and I can tell you that when you sit for hrs going through a bad storm you will rebuild the boat in your mind 1000 times.
Hi I would it like to see you , do when you are continuing all those board ,you would do it on a anglo , cut it would it be much stronger
So you didn’t cut them deep enough. No problems, cut them a bit deeper. Far, far better than cutting them too deep. If it’s fair when you finish you got it right or the errors cancel each other out.
Actually like the hard lines . Rounded boats are....i don't know, meh? And you notice these things only when you're not sailing the boat, up on the hard. :)
Wrong.
You feel the difference very destinctively, at least on a sailing boat.
There's no problem with hard chines though, as long as they're positioned properly in terms of trim and heel (not a thing in tugboat-style engine propelled ones ...), but George Buehler ever was said to have the feel for his boats, havin' been a simple sailor himself all life long.
Wait for Salt'n Tar's Rediviva sailing to see what one mahussive hard chine does to her performance - can't take long til they try it, she already floats. (Buehler boat as well.)
I like it too. I think it looks old school and blue collar rugged. to each his own, right?
geen woorden maar daden willen wij hier
I bet you've recharged your drill batteries at least twice since you've started this build - correct?
Great video Scott. I have a small question. Where is we? What i am seeing is that You are building the boat. Not we. And you are doing great. Do you have a health problem with wood?
Yes I get that a lot now. We is my wife and I. I could not do this without her support and commitment to the families budget, so thats a big one. We is my son and father who are always willing to help when I need it. They appear quite a bit in our earlier videos when we were building the keel and frames. Finally, We is this online community.

I built a 50ft wooden structure in temps of 90 deg F.........when the finished structure was subject to low temps it would distort, I would only ever build a large wooden structure at the average operating temp and not at any of the extremes.....have you calculated what those wooden planks are going to expand to in summer temps?
I don't think that is the right way to look at it. If it were so, they would be building houses around here in the spring and fall. Wood moves with moisture content, not temperature. Provided the wood is dried before installation, which it is, the seasonal changes in the material are not a big deal. The use of glues and bedding compounds are to remedy that known seasonal movement of all types of wood. When building furniture, wood movement is a much more critical consideration, because wood movement can cause tight, pretty joints to open up. It can even split boards in cross grain situations. But boats, subjected to brutal conditions, are designed to deal with this.
8:08 Why is that beautiful piece of live edge white oak "kinda scrap"? The things I could build with something like that, woooo wee... awesome work regardless, loving this series, just confused as to why that is considered scrap to you :/
For furniture stuff it is a great piece, but for boat building it was not so perfect. That board was near the edge of the tree so it had a bit of sap wood on each side. It was only useable for the right piece that could cut around those defects. Sap wood does not have the strength or rot resistance of the heartwood in white oak.
Hello,
I discovered your project while strolling on youtube
it's a great project, i like it
How long do you think you will finish it?
ps: I'm french, i use google translator because i do not speak english very well: p
No problem, the translation came through fine. I really don't know how long, I like to tell people 3 to 5 years but your guess is as good as mine.
Personal question: Why do we not see any of your family either helping or just cheering you on?
I honestly don't know - so the question, galvanized bolts have a sacrificial galvanized coating - once the coating is compromised, the bolt will rust away. I can only think it must be too expensive to simply use stainless or brass bolts. Is that right?
The fittings he is using should last at least 100 years or more. I wouldn't worry about it.
Silicon bronze would be best fort sure. However the cost was just to much for me. We are building for ourselves and are not concerned about resale so galvanized will give us all the strength and longevity we need. just FYI in case you are working on something similar, Stainless is not recommended below the water line, it needs free oxygen to avoid crevice corrosion.
@@SixPointsWoodWorks that exactly answered what I was asking, thank you!
Really enjoying watching you build your boat. I have a question for you. Does not steaming your timber in the curvy areas, causes a lot of stress on the timber that may result in the timber splitting or even breaking?
Thanks Robert. It certainly could but so far, none of our curves have been all that severe.
@@SixPointsWoodWorks Thanks
@@SixPointsWoodWorks That (I believe) was one of George's concepts; hard chine hauls that lacked difficult curves so that home builders could better coup with such massive DYI project. I've always liked him and his designs, spoke to him 20 years ago on the phone, after talking with him for quit a while he advised me not to build a boat ! :)
Beautiful wood work Scott you should be real proud, and what you mean Leo and Acorn are better video experts than you? No way. ( ....Leo can barley get through an episode without a black eye :)

whos taking bets on wether Leo Sampson or this guy will finish their boats first ?
When I will have seen Leo's March volunteers offensive I might take a bet.
Well, you might be comparing apples and oranges there. Perhaps who is left with most fingers, at the end of their build, is a more useful measure...Scott is currently shading that one.
@@gav2759 In general I'd say, life isn't for keeping a perfectly undisturbed, scarless body until the end just to give that back complete once reaching game over, is it?
You have to add Acorn to Acrabella to that bet!

I doesn’t look right. 🤔
yeah, yeah
Is that dengerous to build a wooden boat??? You need to have that over the top face mask???
no not at all. The respirator has a nose cup and and is the only eye protection I have that doesn't fog up. I suppose it's not a bad thing that it cuts down on all the fine dust I breathe in but that's not a huge concern.
Average handyman with a few tools can do this build .... what planet are you from ? lmao
It can! That doesn't mean it is without challenge. I'm lucky to have 20 years of buying woodworking tools which makes many jobs faster, but smaller, common hand operated power tools can get the job done as well. More equipment allows you to save money buying wood in "the rough" and machining it up yourself, but finished lumber is widely available. As for the design, It is nothing that complicated. I know nothing about boats, however, with enough reading and study anyone can learn anything.
Hi Scott, I've been watching your build since the beginning and admire your persistance and vision. Doug, the rebuilder of th-cam.com/users/chaschiara spiled all the new planks on Susanne and he has some excellent explainations, demonstrations, full vlogs of how it is done. I don't rem the episode numbers but it is somewhere in the middle of the series. Got your Challenge Coin from SV Seeker. Good Luck.
Thanks Rush, I'll check it out.
