Always, always lifts my mood when a new video lands. A lifetime of experience right here, shared for free - so much skill and knowledge. Everything explained so well and Lou’s natural delivery is a joy - thank you for inviting us into your workshop. The very best TH-cam content, right here, fact…..
Thank you Lou for another episode. Amazing seeing that piece of oak straighten out when cut free of the main board. The covering board has a lot of sweep to it and it is not often you get a perfect piece with the curve so close to what you need. Take care and have a productive week.
The amount of thought Lou puts into the use of his tools is so inspiring. You could learn a million ways to improve what you thought you already knew by hanging out with Lou.
I am 67 now and if I could do it all again how I would have relished to serve a shipwright apprenticeship with you Louis. You are such a practical genius.
You are the salt of the earth old mate, we appreciate you a lot over here in Western Australia, you remind me of a Canadian master boat builder I knew in South Africa, what a pleasure it is to watch you work, my kids love it
As many other have said, I always love seeing "Tips" and/or "Bristol" has uploaded another video. There is just something about the way Lou presents his videos and knowledge that works for me. And of course his work speaks for itself. Thanks for another video, Lou. I appreciate it.
Lou, these videos are so informative. I feel that I have met you in the past. I worked for small boatyards around the bay when I was younger. I come from Tiverton, RI and am 74 years old. Can't wait for the next video. ps. I do use your saw guide technic quite often, great tip!
The thing about this boat......is that it is so beautiful and perfect and well built, that putting it in the water seems sacrilegious I know that is its purpose, but God, I just want to stare at it
I agree with you Louis much easier to keep a strait line with the blade deep in the material! I've used tall home made fence out of a thick piece of wood rounded down to a point that works well also. Love watching your knowledge of the whole process is so informative!
Thanks again Lou, and yet another bind your practical advice gets me out of. I recently bought a new 14" band saw with a 13" resaw capacity, and sure enough, was trying to resaw some 8/4 red oak and with the standard high fence she was fighting me most of the way. As usual, you are able to teach an old dog new tricks.
This is quite a superb site and the skill shown are inspiring. I have one question that is not relevant but which I have noticed on watching many American sites - why do Americans use adjectives as adverbs?
l just bought some white epoxy (not paint your rolling on) primer/total boat in R.I. from paul. Will u paint epoxy paint over this white roll on primer Lou???
Lou, you're on to something: In 1925 the company Festool was founded by company partners Albert Fezer and Gottlieb Stoll. They initially concentrate on repairing wood processing machinery and making structural modifications to these machines by converting plain bearings to ball bearings.
We usually have 2-3 projects ongoing, the primary project and what we call "The Moaning Chair Project" that is in the Concept/Design phase. We know that Louis is gathering his thoughts and materials while the V Bottom Skiff heads to the finish line.
Any chance you’re driving anywhere near East Tennessee in the next year or so, I’ll cut you a bunch of those white oak knees that you are welcome to for free, I just cut them up for firewood. Plenty of huge white oak on my land, can’t do patrion donations but you are more than welcome to the wood.
First of all I think I you're an exceptional craftsman but to say that you've pretty much invented point fence is just absurd. I'm a furniture maker and have had a Jet 14 in and now a Rikon 14 in bandsaw. Both came with fences that had a point fence attachment stock. Yours is really far from a new method.

Outstanding video Lou, she is looking great and I bet she will be beautiful when you are finished with her.
Gorgeous contours!
Oh, yay! My week's made! Always such a pleasure to see you work and listen to you, Lou.
Wow this guy is a true artist a master builder! Hall of fame builder.
The amount of thought Lou puts into the use of his tools is so inspiring. You could learn a million ways to improve what you thought you already knew by hanging out with Lou.
Great work from a true craftsman!
That skewed fence is genius! I will try it the next time such a cut is required.
I am 67 now and if I could do it all again how I would have relished to serve a shipwright apprenticeship with you Louis. You are such a practical genius.
One step closer!! Thanks for always sharing your tips and tricks! Fantastic work, Lou!

Extremely underrated channel
Hi Louis Your videos make my day. To watch a master happy at work, making a boat of beauty. Just great. Thank you Louis
Great job as always friend👍

Fantastic Lou! Love the look!
Looking good Lou!
I’m very impressed by what a knowledgeable professional you are. I also enjoy the woodworking tips. Very well produced! Love your videos, thanks!
We need more guys like Lou.
Wonderful attention to detail!
Lou, there are a bunch of us out here that really appreciate these videos. You are such an amazing shipwright. ✌️👍🇺🇸
thanks Lou & team.
Lou, you are a national treasure! Thank you for making these videos.

The vac-sander gizmo is genius!
Love watching your videos
Looking good! Nice job.
You are brilliant Lou. That table “stub”fence is incredible.
What a great boat, built with such experience and care.
Always a pleasure to see your videos.
I am always learning new tricks when I watch these inspiring videos.
Have you considered a feature-length video?! I could watch this content all day, every day. Thank you, Louis.
Great looking build Louie
Missed you Louie
The thing about this boat......is that it is so beautiful and perfect and well built, that putting it in the water seems sacrilegious
I know that is its purpose, but God, I just want to stare at it
Lots of great info in this video lou, the skiff is looking great!!
Get it Lou!!!
Who else likes seeing all the old heavy duty Powermatic machinery in the background? No to mention the Boice Crane and Parks planers too.
Looks great louis
I agree with you Louis much easier to keep a strait line with the blade deep in the material! I've used tall home made fence out of a thick piece of wood rounded down to a point that works well also. Love watching your knowledge of the whole process is so informative!

I can’t wait till you start on orca
Great video Lou! Those knees are going to look beautiful!! Stay safe.
90% of what you do Lou, '.. I've never seen anybody else doing it ..'! 😊
Pure awesomeness!
Great innovating master shipwright!
Fantastic resaw tips, learned some valuable information, thanks for posting.
I love these videos.
Great video thanks
She looks like a sweet ride!
Beautiful
Nice work Lou! I love the fence idea. I tried to resaw some mahogany a couple weeks ago and my thicknesses were all wonky
appreciate your sharing so much.
This is quite a superb site and the skill shown are inspiring.
I have one question that is not relevant but which I have noticed on watching many American sites - why do Americans use adjectives as adverbs?
l just bought some white epoxy (not paint your rolling on) primer/total boat in R.I. from paul.
Will u paint epoxy paint over this white roll on primer Lou???
Lou said he plans to use TotalBoat Wet Edge, it is a one part polyurethane topside coating.
Grizzly makes a bandsaw resaw fence with a drift bar. I think there are other versions available too.
Lou, you're on to something: In 1925 the company Festool was founded by company partners Albert Fezer and Gottlieb Stoll. They initially concentrate on repairing wood processing machinery and making structural modifications to these machines by converting plain bearings to ball bearings.
Lou needs to put out a rap album performing as Medullary Ray.
Niouce 👍
So close now
there are boat builders and there are boat builders and then Lou comes along, no more to say really.
Keep an eye on the cable into the saw as it looks loose
Is this boat for sale?
Man I want him to build me a guitar! Bet he could.
10 months still waiting on orca updates, why start a project just to not bother returning to it????

@@ajabusamra3901 I know what he meant. I was asking if that's what he said.
