People that don't use compounds to fill holes a lot, don't understand the magic that is learning the proper hole filling technique. Learning the technique you demonstrated is 100% the difference between filling the holes once, and having to fill every hole twice because it always shrinks a little and misses a small moon shape on one edge. Excellent demonstration :)
It is a true pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman at his trade. The knowledge you impart to your viewers is like getting a free tuition at a college. Your presentations are straight forward and to the point without a lot of bullsxxx like most other presenters on TH-cam
Knowing Lou for several years now, I can say I have never met someone as talented and knowledgeable. Lou is truly one of a kind and is a part of a dying culture. I have the pleasure to work next door to Lou's shop and always love talking and learning about his new projects and ideas. I can't say enough good things about what is going on in that shop and it is hard to put into words the experience I have had around Lou. Hawlys (producer) is a very talented cinematographer and has done a fantastic job bringing Lou's passion for shipwrighting to life. The attention to detail in the making of this video is amazing! Watching these guys film and build the boat is unmatched when seeing it in real life. I hope these videos spark the interest of someone to pick up a saw or grab a hammer, I know it has for me. Keep up the good work guys, see you around the yard!!
The kid next door
Only Lou could make me look forward to a video on filling screw holes.
Lou is een geweldige vakman, zelfs in Holland genieten we van hem.
Lou is the reason I'll be building a boat this summer. And the cinematography has been an inspiration for some work projects, just fantastic!
Never have I ever enjoyed watching someone sand wood, until now. haha
Also, what a technique on filling the holes! That little push after you pass the edge is so perfect. The little things Lou shows us..... incredible!
I did not know that. Even started to skip this section...glad I didn't.
I've watched a ton of videos on boat repair and no compares to Lou. I've been a carpenter for over 30 years and I always seem to pick up something new from Lou. He truly is a Master.
Lou is the only one person in the universe who is able to make fascinating video about filling screw holes...
Best wishes to Lou from Warsaw, Poland!
Litteraly making it fun to see paint dry! ;-)
I like that at each stage of the build Lou explains how and why he does what he does,. It's applicable to all types of carpentry.
The putty applying technique is brilliant! never knew how to make sure that all the air is pushed out and the holes filled properly! Thank you, I learned a lot from this video! keep up with the great work!
Very gifted at explaining. Great teacher
I wish I was right there helping you. Nothing more enjoyable to me as working wood. Never built a boat, always owned fiberglass boats but watching you build boats it has the woodworker in me wanting to build my own boat. Your videos are fantastic learning tools. Thank You very much. Vinny
I may never build a boat living in central Alberta, but I have learned so much already from your videos. I am sure that I will be doing drywall at some point in the future and the bubble technique will be used!
Thank you for sharing your techniques!
Lou is like the Bob Ross of boatbuilding, so captivating! Thanks, Lou and the team.
Just imagine how amazing it would be to end up being the recipient of such a labor of love. Someone is going to be very fortunate. I sure am enjoying this series. Fingers crossed for another one after this. I'm hooked. Thank you Total and Jamestown!!!
so cool - i have been obsessed with all these videos lately - cant get enough.
I was actually surprised by the beginning of this video. The process of going through EVERY single screw hole on the boat an scraping seems like it is VERY labor intensive and time consuming. I would think it would pay huge dividends in time savings to make sure when the screws are going in that things remain clean - and to be super careful with the poly-sulf so as to not gunk up the holes.
Never having built a boat i dont know if thats possible or not - or how long cleaning all the screw holes actually takes but that just shocked me somewhat.
Either way - so awesome.
couldn't wait for the video to come out. awesome watching Lou work. His explanations and tips are so accurate, well said, and in depth. just a pleasure
Great putty/hole fill technique!
And using the scraper is so much smarter than sanding to level it!
What a legend this guy is. The smallest details he has worked out and mastered over his life building boats
ive watched all the videos on the the skiff build .You are a master. iv'e thoroughly enjoyed watching
Lou for president!
The 1st time I have seen one at a time when they came out and that was existing but now seeing them one after another I'm really learning more the 2nd time!!Big thanks for making all this information for use!I all was wanted to go to boat building school in Maine and build a live-aboard wood cruiser motor sailer for myself.And now you have me thinking of my dream boat again!life is good!!thanks for sharing your life with us.hope to meet you one day to tell you how much this means to all of us.peace & Blessings to you.
He must have read the instructions on the side of the can. Really that is an art that takes practice. If it isn't over full it's called a birds eye when sanded. My first rodeo on filling holes like this looked terrible and had to spend some time learning how to make that hump he's speaking of. I'm not sure how he would be with one on one lessons but doing this series it feels like I'm in his class. He's the type to show the manufacturers how to use the products they make. He's top notch in my humble opinion😉
I forgot it was Thursday! Best surprise all day to find another great video!!
I look forward to every step as it unfolds, can't wait for the next instalment.
I kinda just want Lou to come over my house to drink some beers and talk about boats.
Great series. Thank you Lou. Can't wait for the next one to come out. Well, actually, I have to wait. But am looking forward to it...
OMG, I never want these videos to end!!
Every video has so much information , Thank you for sharing your expertise.
That little tip about not squeezing the putty in until you see the hole is the key.It took me quite some time to figure it out but if you dont do it,you'll have to go back and refill all of the holes.
Looking awesome, your a true craftsman. Loving this series.
Hope you have a project planned after this one as you got me hooked on you.
Wow, the skiff is really coming together nicely!!! Looking forward to the next video...
Lou - You are the MAN.....!!
i do a lot of metal work and a little wood work on my channle but you sir are a real artist all my free time has gone to watching this series lol now iv got to wait lol .
Neat and clean. And the knife trick is really good. Nice stuff.
Great pointers/reminders. Thank you Sir!
Very nice work as always, looking good!!!👍👌💯
Really looking forward to the next episode.
"...all of a sudden I'll be done." Not only is that a Louis witticism but it is the attitude of the working man. It's what made America.
At 2:05, you contaminated the resin pot with the hardener. Should use two separate tools. Otherwise, great video, Lou.
This, but otherwise can't wait for the next, and very grateful for this new installment! Thanks Lou!!
+Jim Subtle good spot guys - you are correct best to use a different tool for the hardener
or geat real. It's boat building not NASA. He probably has other stuff to do, like the rest of the boat. It'll be fine.
Why does boat building require less care? And by what authority do you insist that epoxy compound is not contaminated?
As a former paint and body guy, it was like nails on a chalkboard.
Great as usual, Lou is great filming is great well done. Love Friday`s.
Thanks for showing the two part fairing compound. I’m getting ready to build a boat and had no idea anyone had that, was gonna use a one part which was bothering me (everyone knows that one part adhesives aren’t nearly as good as two partners without having some seriously caustic chemicals in them - not that all two partners are “green”)....
I like that you use the scraper before a sander......already too much sanding involved in boat building.....so many boat builders spend more than a quarter of their time sanding, most of that is wasted time trying to create a polished mirror only to cover with 3 to 10 more layers of epoxy, primer, paint, clear coat......
great tips man! these details on how to do the small stuff really helps. loving the tool instruction too, direction , pressure etc really good thanks : )
Alternatively you can use any epoxy combined with dust from your palm sander.
Sawdust and epoxy can make an excellent filler for a range of uses, but care does need to be taken when choosing a product for capping screws. Don't forget that you want to cap them with a material that you can dig out without ruining the rest of the wood involved.
Building a good boat is one thing. Building a good boat that is also easy to fix later on is another issue entirely.
I dont wat to say that, but these videos are almost too good to be free
I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the knowledge you have shared and have watched most of this series 3 times. I anticipate each new video, as all the others who are following. I do have two question. Most of the dimensions of the boat have been shared, but the transom dimensions are not. Could you provide those dimensions? Also, working aft from the transom, the vessel flares to its widest width in the beam (maybe 6'6") then tapers back to the transom. Is there any rule of thumb to determine the taper from midship to the transom? I have a few other questions, but want to work through my own process of what I want before I ask. I hope to build this boat, as well as a few others. Thanks
why care about a little stain or pencil line when you are going to paint over it anyway. i noticed the hardener in the resin too. that fairing compound looks really cool, next spring when i fair my keel i am using it, the hell with west system and all that filler that takes forever mixing. are you selling the skiff when finished, you never told us how long the boat is,, i think i saw 19 feet on one of the side planks. lou thank you very much for all you have taught us.
i tell you you have a lots of tricks up your sleeve
that spatula action... kind of a Bob Ross moment
steve1978ger lol that’s what i thought
Hi Lou,Just another great video! I'm totally addicted to this series. Quick question for my own neophyte knowledge, why use fairing epoxy rather than plug it with wood as you've shown before? What's the advantage and why would I choose one over the other?Thanks for all you do. Cheers!Bob in Tacoma.
I imagine a world where Lou could be President and we could all hang out and build skiffs.
I have to say Red Lead Putty is all I have ever used for putty. I find any of the modern chemistry stuff doesn't hold a candle to the old tried and true building materials.
Pine Tar, Pitch and Red Lead Putty. That's all I would use.
on ya mate cheers for the info
A lot of talent, love your work!

Shower thought: what if you put the putty into a piping bag (like the kind you would use for frosting a cake) and cut a fine tip and just pipe the putty into the holes? Would that not work better than a knife?
You could put the putty in a zip lock bag and mix by kneeding it, cut a tiny corner off the bag and squeeze it out into the hole like you would icing a cake
If you were to put masking tape down before drilling the holes you could fill the holes without getting the putty were it did not belong. Right after placing the putty pull off the masking tape and you have a clean job.
Wow wish I had seen this video before I built my 2 plywood boats! Was some screwholes to fill... :D
Just great work wish i could have found this work when younger i missed my calling but i can make a square front and bottom river john doat
First!
Lou's the man.
Masterpiece.👍
I would love to see you work on a large scale yacht or fishing boat build
+ekenslow th-cam.com/play/PLzlN3A2DLgNxIq3nQV0fv5q4QlhbOn1OK.html
ekenslow+ He has a ton of other great videos,but I'm going to warn you,don't start to watch them if its nice out and you have stuff to do lol .Because chances are it wont get done,at least wait until the day's over ;) I started to watch them when i found his channel and I didnt want to stop.I probably wasted half of the day away before I realized it :D
Ha I know what you mean. I've watched the Tips series for quite a while now. I wasn't clear, what I meant was I'd love to see him build a proper yacht or large work boat.
Seems like apprentice work. Hey where'd he go?
When you put the spatula with paste of the one part of the epoxy to the other without cleaning, it does not affect the rest of the hardener in the bucket?
Not really on this type of product.Worse case is you have a tiny string of rubbery like trash to pull out.But that is only if it sits for a long time.It can touch and wont really harden until you actually mix and work it together and chances are that'll little bit will get mixed next.
You try not to do that but on a big project like that its not a big deal since it'll get used next.Now if that was the only batch you're making I'd recommend getting it out of there though.Because after sitting you'll have a partially cured piece that wont mix in that needs to be trashed.
SouthJerseySound thanks for the info. I use regularly 2 part epoxy 5 minute but i suppose it is quite different from the one on the video.
Polis Dimitriadis No problem,I know if you do that with some stuff it'll ruin it.But in this case its not as critical.Most fairing compounds like this wont fully harden until they change colors,worse case is it turns to a rubbery waste.
You could even tell by the shade of green if you mixed equal parts if the company would provide a colour gauge
good stuff
so I am assuming because it's just filling a screw hole you don't need neat epoxy first so it's not resin starved? Not structural and covered.
Before you had that nice epoxy puty What did they use ?
Question, base of the both is flat do you think it won't tilt over?
I am curious to know how much the work skiff weighs. It is nothing if not stout. A boat you can hand down generations as it isn't going to break!
Why do you use slotted screws as opposed to Phillips head?
EPOXY contamination. Would it cure in the can?
yes
sanding a hull by hand like that, you become one with it, know every inch of it
Anyone else get a major Bob Ross vibe from this episode?
9:35, mind your fillings, headphone users.
I'm a real tool guy.
Looks good....but ya didn't mention what your gonna do next. Ya left us hanging. lol
Title should be episode 19? ;)
anyone know what the name of that scraper is? I wanna buy one but i'm struggling to find one
pretty late reply but that looks like a red devil paint scraper to me
What did they use 200 years ago?
plug's
andrew jump ship?
👍👍👍💖✨✨✨
The same tool for the resin and the hardener with cleaning it first. No, no, no. Even if you don’t contaminate the whole tub you can easily end up with hard bits in it. Please, please, please avoid cross contamination.
that's why they have popsicle sticks.
This is one of the only mistakes I've seen him make. lol.

9:58 His message to the Democrats.
Sorry really lagging!!!!!!!!
