Few things I find more satisfying than watching skilful boat wrights at work. How they can work those complex angles and curves, making everything fit so precisely, revealing those beautiful hull shapes and shear lines, when nothing is plumb or square, just amazes me.
It’s quite the sight to be seen, have you done any woodworking yourself?
@@FavouriteBoatworks I had an old wooden hulled trolling fishing boat of 40 feet that needed a whole new transom and hull planking and ribs. My boatwright was a cantankerous old git who didn't like customers poking about too much, but he took me under his wing for some reason and I helped him steam and fit the sister frames and then caulk the whole new rear deck and hull planking. I had searched out a pristine supply of yellow cedar and oak from a small mill up-island on Vancouver Island, and brought a full pickup load back to Nanaimo where he showed me how to work it. Starting with a new stem. Amazed, I was.
@@peterehoward that sounds like a real journey, are you located in Nanaimo?
@@FavouriteBoatworks Yes. I once had 2 wooden boats at the same time, this old fishing boat built in 1945 near Vancouver, and a C&C masthead sloop of 36 feet, cedar planks on oak ribs - possibly C&C's only wooden sloop (? - my uncle was a great friend of George Cuthbertson and he asked him about the boat). But even 1 wooden boat grew to be too much work. Now I am retired here, with no wooden boats, and am rather sorry about that fact.
@@peterehoward it’s a lot of maintenance.. You’re welcome to come visit us at shelter island if you have your ways around to the mainland!
Enjoying the journey back to a yar ship and also nice to find another channel demonstrating shipwright skills. I have watched Arabella and Tally Ho from their beginnings to floating under sail. I'll be here when North Star is relaunched too.
Glad to have you onboard! Do you have a wooden boat yourself?
@@FavouriteBoatworks I do not, nor was I ever into sailing. I have lived a life of working with tools and materials and the process of building of a wooden boat is a thing of beauty to behold. I admire the precision of woodworking, and the math often stumps me. I learn something every episode, and in particular as the systems come together I see many lessons form my own experience, like do it right the first time, dry fit, and in the use of bedding and finishing compounds. Sails will always be a mystery... If I were a sailor, I'd likely be a motorman aboard an FPB by Steve and Linda Dashew, though they did a fair bit of world sailing as well...
Thanks for the video. I really enjoy watching you guys work on these boats. I’ve got to say that I love all of the music that I’ve heard in the background you guys gotta be the best people to work with.
Glad you like it!!
She's almost looking better than my scratch built model of North Star!
We'd love to see the model! Are you in BC by chance?
Big job with all those heavy frames thanks for the videos 👍👍
You bet!
Such awesome craftsmanship!!! Dylan’s Spotify playlist blaring in the background, dog’s on site and the best sounding forklift on the planet. What more could a shipwright want!!! Videos are awesome, thanks for sharing.
Dylan's playlist sure is the best..
Gary is doing some nice work, I'm surprised he's still an apprentice, he looks old enough to have worked on North star when she was first built!
Don’t let Gary read this 🤫
The Forklift is the best 😊
Isn't she lovely? Her name is Evelyn!
Admire the fact you’re using laminates of hardwoods you ‘could’ have bought as a single timber - practicality without structural compromise.
Very hard to find these kinds of sizes for clear boat grade woods these days.
Love this art
Beautiful work! Don't get swallowed up by the wild blackberries!
Oh boy are they starting to creep closer..
Ya'll do nice work. Please continue to be specific about wood types, other materials, and sources. And thank you for sharing.
Will do!
Amazing job❤
Thank you! Cheers!
awesome
great series!
Glad you like it!
Really cracking on with the job.
It's flying along, going to be over in no time!

What type of wood is this. Some type of mahogany?
Jahtoba!
@@FavouriteBoatworksand your gluing it some type epoxy?
😎
Looks nice, is there any specific reason why you didn’t glue the scarfed piece in and rather used tar ?
There is a certain amount of expected movement at this joint. Any glue would eventually fracture and fail. This felt and tar membrane creates an ultra flexible gasket between the two that will remain water tight for decades to come.
👍!!!
Ddddyyyyllaaaannnnn!
Whats with the old guy wearing a dress?
You can tell by the tilt of his kilt.
@@chrissturgeon1571 I heard on his days off he does Drag Queen Story Hour at the local library😂
@@peterandersen8684 Good for him, this world needs less hatred.
Wish I hadn't seen that guy use a chain saw above shoulder height. Too little control and the catenoid artery is really close.
What wood is the keel?
