No big ego, no complicated terms just simple explanations, no massive lists of unfamiliar tools. Just a modest man setting explaining something I would have previously thought to be well beyond my skill sets. He has shown me if I was physically capable I could do this, I think I'll see if my teenage grandsons want to build it with me for their fishing. Cooper has a fantastic role model.
Thanks Sam. I have wanted to build a boat for myself for many years, but have thought I never had the time or experience. After watching your video on the Poliwog I have been encouraged to build my dream.
I can't describe how much I enjoyed to watch this video! It was educational, inspiring, exciting....and he explained things in an easy way to understand. My respect to this boat building man!
Thanks, I needed that! I'll be building a boat over the next couple years and I've had some lingering questions that you answered verry well. Though my boat will be built using an inner framework and it'll be powered with an outboard, the process will be surprisingly similar in all other respects. It really helped to see someone doing the proceedures as opposed to just reading about them in a book and looking at pictures. I'm now looking forward to it instead of being aprehensive about it.
Thank you sir. My son and I are about to build a boat from plans and your video was very well done and easy to follow. Again, thank you for sharing your love of boat building with us. Mark
By far the most informative video on stich and glue boat building by one of the foremost masters of the technique. I say it could have been longer. I think it goes hand in handwith Sam's book. Thank you.
Still a great video in 2018; simple and informative. Stitch and glue building method seems to be becoming more and more popular. I would love to build one of the Devlin duck boats as well as a Tolman skiff someday!
Great explanation and instructions of building a boat, no matter what shape of a boat you build, is an excellent procedure for a good finish , I’m very thankful for your teaching.
This is a really well-done video. As simple as this boat is, its still a pretty ambitious project. It just makes me appreciate how much harder it would be to build a larger boat.
Здравствуйте Сем! Я выражаю Вам слова благодарности за Ваше видео. Вы подсказали мне как воплотить свою мечту в жизнь. Низкий Вам поклон, дай Вам Бог крепкого здоровья!!! С Уважением Сергей Максимов, Россия.
WOW this was a very informative video on stitch and glue boat construction. I been watching alot of videos on building plywood boats and none of them are this good. You truly are a master boat builder. I ecspecially like the end of the video when your'e rowing around. That boat move around the lake like a fish in the water. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of boat building with everyone. Keep up the good work.
Sir you are so naturally corny it's precious.. I had to watch the video several times for new shop set up ideas and wood worki planning and execution skills. Nice work !
I don't know if I would actually build a boat but this has been one of thwe most interesting and informative videos I have seen on youtube, Just EXCELLENT!! Thanks
Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos, un ecxelente trabajo, tanto por su resultado como ppr s sencillez al explicar y ejecutar el bote. Creo que ha dejado un legado a todoa los que hacemos botes, usted podra morir algun dia pero su legado quedara, saludos desde Panamá.
Thank you for creating one of the best boat building if not one of the best DIY videos I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Unlike too many videos on TH-cam yours was presented at the right speed, had all of the information required to do the job, and most of all your voice wasn't like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard; some people have terrible voices and don't know it. I'm looking forward to watching all of your videos and hopefully attempting one of your projects.
I thought this was going to be a wood boat but a fiberglass layer was put on it. They always say how easy it is, but lets be real. This guy is an expert and like anything, its harder when you try yourself.
Thanks for making this vid. It is the best I have seen. I like the fact the tools are so basic, the only thing I don't have is a circular saw, because I don't like them. So straight forward.
A mini master class on stitch and glue. Thank you!! Please don't ever remove this as I (and I'm sure others) come back to it for a reminder of how it's done.
Wasn't aware that he was from my hometown. Lots of memories boating on budd Inlet and out in Boston Harbor. Helped my grandpa restore a wood dinghy when I was a little kid. Might have to look into some of his plans.
I am going through the beginning stages of my first boat build. I have recently decided to use the stitch and glue method. I figure out that this method would be simplest for my first build. The type of boat will be a center console skiff fishing boat. I will be a little difficult than the row boat you just did but it is what is needed for my inland lakes I fish with my son and daughter. I will try to post some vids of the process. Wish me luck.
That is one of the best You tube videos I ever seen! Informative without too much talk, easy to follow and excellent graphics. Well done. Now... please, please, please do one for a wooden speed boat.
Sam I've always enjoyed your inovative boat building and this video is excelent BTW. White vinegar is the best non toxic way of getting un cured epoxy off your skin
This was a great video. I think I could do this. The only thing you left out was how you affixed the skeg. Was it just epoxied on or did you use screws?
Thanks for posting your videos. I really like the style of boat here and the quality of craftsmanship. Curious to know how much you charge for the drawings? Please let me know. Thx.
Bought "Guppy" dinghy plans off Sam's website a week ago, and am super excited to get started. I have wanted to build a Devlin boat for quite some time now. Thanks for putting this video up for a little help with the process.
Wow what a Great Video! Nice Clear Consise Tuition, what more could you ask for. And many thanks for the Feet Inches & Eighths explanation Boat plans and Lofting don't seem so Daunting Now Excellent !!
a truly excellent video very well explained in a language we can all understand well demonstrated n a brilliant little boat at the end sir thank you very much
lofting???? you got to be kidding me.thought that was a lost art..i have been building boats for over 40 years,,have lofted many boats,,from 18 to 55 footers..when i started boat building all boats were wooden and all were ribbed and planked... all keels and stems were hand cut and fitted.good to see someone still has the skills to craft a boat from scratch a nice boat,great vid..
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL ARTICULATE VIDEO. i REALLY LEARNT ALLOT FROM YOU , IT WAS EXPLAINED VERY WELL AND i JUST KNOW I WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS BOAT ONE DAY SOON , THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM AUSTRALIA
is there a way I can get the specifics (plans) to build this boat? I would greatly appreciate it. By the way, this video is awesome!!! thanks for sharing.
Great video. But I would like to make a feew suggestions. 1. Instead of wire why not use cable ties. 2. Why not just pipe the epoxy with the peanut butter consistency like in a freezer bag wth the corner taken off. Then go over it. Anyway just some suggestions. Can I get some likes guys so he can see them. Thanks
Nice, neat job. You make it look so simple, and everything fits and goes together first time! But I am not fooled .... if I build a boat by stitch and glue, I can see it will be pretty difficult. But you have shown us all the tricky bits and many of the shortcuts. Thanks.
That is so awesome! I always thought boats were much more difficult to build. Question: does the Styrofoam you added increase the buoyancy that much? Thanks!
I'm gonna go ahead and answer this 6 year old question, because hey, why not. It doesn't increase the water displacement of the hull, so it doesn't increase boyancy. It decreases it actually by the weight of the foam, which is very little though. What it does do is keep the boat from sinking to the bottom if it is filled with water.
No doubt ur an expert,i noticed u put the fillet on but didnt precoat the wood with thin epoxy.some say it is good to do this,it helps fillet to stick better.

Have you seen my DIY sup project mate? th-cam.com/play/PLAQXLUUtHVUDPyM1_H3GzbqHmXkaMTafn.html You can build one of these in your garage.
I've been looking at stitch and glue skiff s and I must say your technique is excellent thanks
Just saw this today and wanted to thank you for your demonstration of boat building. Great job and a beautiful boat!
Thanks Sam. I have wanted to build a boat for myself for many years, but have thought I never had the time or experience. After watching your video on the Poliwog I have been encouraged to build my dream.
Man I wish I had a bigger garage. Nice video, fun and educational.
I can't describe how much I enjoyed to watch this video! It was educational, inspiring, exciting....and he explained things in an easy way to understand. My respect to this boat building man!
This guy is probably a good father to his child.
I have a feeling you're right
That looks like a great little boat! Thank you for sharing your process with us.
This guy really knows how to take care of details!..amazing vídeo..very usefull
Thanks, I needed that! I'll be building a boat over the next couple years and I've had some lingering questions that you answered verry well.

An uncommon method...stitch & glue, but it looks affordable and does not require any special tools or molds. I'm liking it the more I watch it.

Mr. Devlin is a fantastic teacher. Thank you sir!
Thank you Mr Devlin. Well explained and illustrated. You make it look so easy. From Perth, Western Australia.
A most excellent and informative video! I'm sure I will watch it several times before my boat is finished.
Absolutely awesome build. Best one I've seen yet.
Thank you for posting this amazing how to video! Simply amazing and inspiring.
After I build my new shed, this is project #2. Greatly appreciated!
That was a fantastic video. I have been thinking about building a boat for many years and this video explains a great deal. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your skills! Truly beautiful little boat.
Awesome instructional. Thank you for the time you took to make this video!
This is a really well-done video. As simple as this boat is, its still a pretty ambitious project. It just makes me appreciate how much harder it would be to build a larger boat.

This is a really detailled and well explained video. Thanks.
It would be also nice to see how you build a boat with old materials.
Excellent video; clear and concise. The use of 3D images from the drawings overlaid on the actual parts makes this very easy to understand. Well done.

I am not a craftsman, but thank you so much for the inspiration. What a great video.
Superb training video!!! ...I finally understand "stitch and glue" boat construction... Well done sir, and thanks for taking the time.
Do you happen to understand how to make the layout formula a bit easier to understand? Thank you
Sir you are so naturally corny it's precious.. I had to watch the video several times for new shop set up ideas and wood worki planning and execution skills. Nice work !
I don't know if I would actually build a boat but this has been one of thwe most interesting and informative videos I have seen on youtube, Just EXCELLENT!!

It's so nice I watched it twice. And I'm not even building a boat.

I have learned something new today. I have never seen the stitch method used to build a wooden boat. Genius! Thank you, sir.
My hats off to you Sam. By far thee best video I've seen. Thanks.
very good video. l saw this video a lot of times and now l start making my own boat without plans.Thank you Sam Devlin
Loved this video. Boats are the best project! Cheers.
37:52 Was a great way to draw the shape of the skeg!
Great video. I've built several cedar strip kayaks and canoes, but never plywood and never a skiff. This may be my next boat project.
Very comprehensive guide on boat building. Very good video!
Great explanation and graphics. Thank you. Cheers, Peter
Well done, very nice boat!! Thank you for your VDO!!!

thank you...the fastening of the wires answered ALL my worries. ..

THANKS FOR THE DETAILLED BUILDING INFO.i NEED TO CLEAN OUT MY GARAGE AND GET STARTED.
SAM ,I learned Alot from this video. Thanks for sharing .I want plans fir this boat. or any others.
Outstanding video, this was very helpful, thank you so much!
+Walter DerCunningham Swindlers! Have sent garbage, and money have not returned.

Awesome! Thank you for posting this very video.
Greta video and a good Teacher. Many thanks
nicely done! I'm gonna build me one of these!
How was the skeg attached?
Best how- to boat building video I have seen yet by the way.
gracias amigo muy buen trabajo felicidades, "lo intentare"
saludos
This was an awesome video. I can totally do this!! Will these plans work if you special order longer sheets of plywood? I would like to build a 14'.
You can patch pieces of wood together with a butt joint, and epoxy another patch piece inside the hull.
there are larger boat designs at devlinboat.com
This was a great video. I think I could do this. The only thing you left out was how you affixed the skeg. Was it just epoxied on or did you use screws?
Thanks for posting your videos. I really like the style of boat here and the quality of craftsmanship. Curious to know how much you charge for the drawings? Please let me know. Thx.

Seth Middlemas did it go well?
4 years after, how is the boat?
Really great video & a sweet little boat!
Wow what a Great Video! Nice Clear Consise Tuition, what more could you ask for.
And many thanks for the Feet Inches & Eighths explanation Boat plans and Lofting don't seem so Daunting Now
Excellent !!
Great vid , Could you put a small outboard on that
a truly excellent video very well explained in a language we can all understand well demonstrated n a brilliant little boat at the end sir thank you very much
lofting???? you got to be kidding me.thought that was a lost art..i have been building boats for over 40 years,,have lofted many boats,,from 18 to 55 footers..when i started boat building all boats were wooden and all were ribbed and planked... all keels and stems were hand cut and fitted.good to see someone still has the skills to craft a boat from scratch a nice boat,great vid..
How do one build a boat from scratch without using anyone design template?
Are there basic rules?
Thank you Sam, very inspiring.
Great video. I learned a lot. Thanks.
Excellent video: precise, concise and without too much talking.
Would you say that I could use a little mast with a sail with this boat?
Thanks
Nice looking little boat. I'm not sure if you would get away with calling it a "Polliwog" here in the UK nowadays.
At least he didn't call it a Fanny Pack!
thank You! i am in the middle of makin one. Perfect video - very informative!
Bravo votre video très claire, super projet. Magnifique méthode qu'est le cousu-coller, avec la résine époxy une vraie révolution pour les bricoleurs.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL ARTICULATE VIDEO. i REALLY LEARNT ALLOT FROM YOU , IT WAS EXPLAINED VERY WELL AND i JUST KNOW I WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS BOAT ONE DAY SOON , THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM AUSTRALIA
Amazing project. Wonderful boat

if you get epoxy on the wire you can heat and release it. On the ties they will stick and can create an air pocket.
That was awesome!!
Marvellous.Thanks for posting this.
Very nice work! Thanks for share. Congrats.
Great video! thanks for sharing your knowledge
want to build a rodney dufram lafite skiff
Nice, neat job. You make it look so simple, and everything fits and goes together first time! But I am not fooled .... if I build a boat by stitch and glue, I can see it will be pretty difficult. But you have shown us all the tricky bits and many of the shortcuts. Thanks.
A well made video and very informative. Keep up the good work mate.
Мастер просто SUPER !
Many thank's Sam for this video .... will come to you very soon when will get free time to start with my boat building project ... Serge from Belgium
+Serge Delval gonna go over in the boat? lol
Is the smoothing down the boat and epoxy needed or is it just for a clean look finish 😊
That is so awesome! I always thought boats were much more difficult to build.

@@chrishoesing5455 WOW thank you. So it is a precaution made to protect against sinking? Thank You!
very great tutorial. Thanks for sharing :)
No doubt ur an expert,i noticed u put the fillet on but didnt precoat the wood with thin epoxy.some say it is good to do this,it helps fillet to stick better.
Presumably you can use a router with a chamfering bit to put that 45 degree angle on the keel edges.
presumably yes...
@@samdevlin4655 Presumably a high speed router can remove too much material than desired
This is an excellent video. Well done.
very nice explanation and a good job!!
