That is exactly why extreme skill craftsman have a DUTY to pass on their knowledge to young apprentices. Every state in the union has a Apprenticeship Program to one degree or another. Many states will fund the apprentice's education and a significant portion of their pay. If we value guys like Louis Sauzedde and a ll the other extreme skill craftspeople on TH-cam, we should support greatly expanding state Apprentice Programs. I think we have enough psychology majors, political science majors, fashion designers, etc.
I don’t know how the milling business works but I hope you tipped him ! Because you are 20 steps ahead of everyone else and your knowledge is unmatched. I bet nobody has taken the time with the mill operator like you. 👏👏👏
Ok Lou, it’s a cool overcast day here in Chicago. I’m going to marathon your work skiff build. My all time favorite. I grew up watching home improvement shows with my Dad. Your videos really bring me back to childhood. Thank you Lou.
I just found out how much difference there is in sawing for furniture grade lumber and sawing for keel timbers. Those timbers that relieved their stress will work very well for the stem, forefoot, and deadwood. Very cool! Thanks, Lou and crew.
I loved watching this.. there is an art to cutting timber and this shows exactly how it's done.. some lovely timber in that tree and I'm sure you will make great use of every part of it.. As a wooden boat builder here in Melbourne Australia it is a pleasure to follow your channel and watch your skills and knowledge show. I look forward to seeing this progress.
Wow! The Orca, The most famous boat from the movies period. My grandfather built me a toy Orca boat when I was 5years old. Really looking forward to joing you on your project. Hooper!! 12 minutes SSE now full throttle!!!
Lifetime of experience, coupled with a firm and clear vision is about as good as it gets. If one is prepared to listen, one could learn a lot from Louis. Good to work with someone like this.
Thanks Lou you're giving me inspiration about the potential future rebuild of the keel for WHITE LADY the last boat to come out of Norman Hodgdon's hands and later restored at Rockland Apprenticeshop.
This is Awesome guys I have longed to see this iconic vessel recreated I have seen many try to I will be watching the build with great interest all the best from Australia
Very satisfying to see to men that knows what they are doing,cutting timber out of a log! Great job 👏🏼, Have been waiting a long time for these videos,because i somehow knew you would someday be building a whaleboat or shark fishing boat,that i really like from the moment i saw them, in the Azores boat museum!
Louis, Please let me know how I can support this project so that these procedures, skill, and experienced is saved on film for those of us that are wanting to also build a Novi - Downeast for fishing and exploring here in AK. Thanks for all that you do!!
A good rule of thumb for a log cant dimension is multiply the small end of the uncut log end by .7 So a 10" log will yield a 7x7" cant. This is of course premised on equalizing the small end center to the large end center. It is very accurate actually. So if you see a tree in the forest that might fit the bill I always look for one with the least taper. Any bends forget it, they can stay in the forest providing habitat. Any damage in the butt I've learnt to leave them growing because it invariably goes right up inside the trunk. Depending on where you live and what species you have, after looking for a bit, you quickly realize why trees are grown in managed plantations. In my areas natural tree candidates for good quality might be 1 or 2% since there are so many faults in 98% of them. Even straight trees that lean the internal tension is released when milling so although the cant is straight as soon as you start cutting dimensional lumber they're all bowed and need stickering and weighting immediately. For the amount of effort required you learn to only take the very best as the rest are a waste of time times about 5.
Hi Lou! Thank so much for another very helpful video! I was wondering if you would explain and to go into more detail about what causes the timber to “set” and warp when it’s cut? My father and I have been fixing up my older sailboat and your videos have been instrumental in teaching us to steam bend and to cut rolling bevels. Thanks to you we are having great success! The lumber we are using is Iroko and we frequently find that the pieces we are cutting are susceptible to setting and would really appreciate your help in understanding the causes and ways to control it. Thank you so much for all you are doing for the community!
Did you see the callout from peter stripol? Your videos helped him on a small build for an electric boat. Glad more people get to see your channel, you do amazing builds!
I´m not sure there's tension in that log, at 11:00 you can see that the log was mowing down at the top end. So the saw cut is actually not straight... Or...?
Could have been the tension from the log itself deflecting the cutter. If there is enough force in play to spring up a couple hundred pounds of timber, could see it easily being able to pull hard enough on the cutter before the cut was finished.
What kind of (species) lumber would you use for a lobster boat ( the haul mainly). Atlantic Canada. I only have varieties avalible from NewBrunswick. (similar to Maine I think) Would red cedar be any good. (cedar, fur tree, spruce, green maple, some ash, some oak red not white, pine etc) 1/4 inch cedar cross pattern at 15 degree maybe? Keel what type of lumber?
Hey I have a off subject question. I am building the work skiff and I thought you said to use brass screws. Well I have the frames and two side planks on. Am I ok or should I replace them with the ones you used????? I am ready to do the bottom and I have found and ordered galvanized screws. But should I replace the brass ones???????
At 11:05. The log wasn’t shimmed under the end closest to the camera and was pushed down causing the poor set of the timber. Watch as the log is deflected during the cut.
Man that wood and indeed the whole project has to be so expensive, cost-prohibitive really in the boat building sales world. There was a time when this kind of thing was a common part of boat building, better watch here folks this kind of thing will soon be gone.
The costs haven't really changed much. Boats throughout history were expensive be it for fishing, transport, warfare and recreation. Boats have long been a symbol of wealth and power.
@@willierants5880 Boats are expensive but they're built as a long lasting product. With proper care, they should last decades upon decades. A large part of the cheapness / affordability of modern builds comes from things being made with a shorter lifespan in mind.
I dont understand how he is not in the millon suscribers already. His channel is pure gold, Lou is one of a kind.
Thank you! Help spread the word!!
Now I know where the phrase ‘run of the mill’ came from!
@@Lanxe Thanks for that link.
This is probably the most exciting build channel on TH-cam at the moment, great work Louis all the best from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks Seatrout
Once Louis passes the torch it will be hard to find someone so dedicated to his craft...

Let’s not let that happen!
Crissy Howes has a “scale model of orca “that might be a good resource for doing your offsets.Awesome project Louie.
I don’t know how the milling business works but I hope you tipped him ! Because you are 20 steps ahead of everyone else and your knowledge is unmatched. I bet nobody has taken the time with the mill operator like you. 👏👏👏
A dream of mine to see the Orca being built. Thanks Lou.
Long time fan of yours from New Zealand.
Get ready cuz it’s coming!!
Love the safety sandals, Lou.
Kept me on the edge of my seat despite knowing the keel was in the hands of a master. Thanks Lou from Australia. Joe
so much expertise going into cutting a tree trunk...nice to see harmonious tradesmen in action
Louis ……what a master…..! If I had a spare belt I would sent it …..but it would be too small for you !
The rope belt!!
Ok Lou, it’s a cool overcast day here in Chicago. I’m going to marathon your work skiff build. My all time favorite. I grew up watching home improvement shows with my Dad. Your videos really bring me back to childhood. Thank you Lou.
That’s fantastic! So glad to hear it, we’re working on finishing up the plans so you can build your own!!
Thank you, it often brings me back too
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos If I do build a boat for the first time I really hope it’s a skiff. Seems so achievable. No crazy angles.
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos That’s the magic of wood working 🤗
funnily enough i am doing the same thing tomorrow, with my woodmizer LT 40!
That operator makes it look easy. Beautiful truck too
Louis Sauzedde boatbuilding and sawmilling, 2 of my favorite YT subjects.
I just found out how much difference there is in sawing for furniture grade lumber and sawing for keel timbers. Those timbers that relieved their stress will work very well for the stem, forefoot, and deadwood. Very cool! Thanks, Lou and crew.

That was more suspenseful than the movie
Its so great you have such a great skilled fellow to be so willing to work with you on such complex milling ! Very cool !
Lou is absolutely the best in presentation & content! (Halsey too)
Wow! The Orca,
The most famous boat from the movies period.
My grandfather built me a toy Orca boat when I was 5years old.
Really looking forward to joing you on your project.
Hooper!! 12 minutes SSE now full throttle!!!
Orca will be built from the keel up with loving care. This looks promising!
Yes it will, here we go!
That was so satisfying to watch! What a pleasure to see experts at work.
Thanks Ray
Lifetime of experience, coupled with a firm and clear vision is about as good as it gets. If one is prepared to listen, one could learn a lot from Louis. Good to work with someone like this.
Thanks Chris!
You can tell all you need to know about this guy by his belt--down to business!
I love this specialty of Louis! Everyone in wood work or studying it should watch this video.
I own a Woodland Mills HM126 sawmill......this woodmizer looks like a DREAM
Lovely to watch, when it comes out as planned. Thanks for sharing.
Can't wait to watch the next one!
Cool as hell, Lou! Cool as hell! So very happy to see your channel actually showing some cool stuff again! Bravo!
This is a real puzzle. Only someone who knows wood and trees could get the cutting right. Turning a tree into timbers is where the magic happens.
You're not kidding
Wow that was fun to watch. Those are some beautiful beams. Orca is going to be stout. Thank you Lou for sharing.
Thanks for watching, we’re just getting started
Get ready, we’re just getting started!
Thanks Lou you're giving me inspiration about the potential future rebuild of the keel for WHITE LADY the last boat to come out of Norman Hodgdon's hands and later restored at Rockland Apprenticeshop.
Great time at the mill.
another great video
This is Awesome guys I have longed to see this iconic vessel recreated I have seen many try to I will be watching the build with great interest all the best from Australia
Thank you!! We’re excited to finally get building her!

When's the next episode? I am a huge Jaws fan, New Englander, and carpentry fan. Love it.
Can’t wait for the next Orca video
Very interesting video.
what a wealth of knowledge, a lifetimes worth👍
Very exciting stuff
Beautiful lumber
Very helpful; I learned alot.
Nice! I'm happy to see this project progressing!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing your passion!
Guy is a legend

In the UK "Bell End" has a VERY different meaning 🤣🤣🤣
I love this stuff, it's so interesting to see how all this is done. Amazing.
Thanks!
Love to watch and listen to you Lou, your a teacher in the truest sense. Can anyone tell me when Orca Episode 3 begins ? . An Australian follower.
Thank you! It's right around the corner!
Lou is a tree whisperer! I think he just took that sawyer to school...wow
And Lou when your finished with it...can I go on a fishing trip?.!!
Two Master Craftsman at work!
Thank you!!
This guy is an awesome man..they don't make them like that anymore..

Great work. Take care of yourself Lou, sounding a little horse today.
thanks Lou!
I’m really looking forward to seeing this boat building process.
Us too, keep watching!!
That's a nice log that you picked out, Lou!
Thanks Matt
I love the belt that is holding up your trousers can you give me any info on where I can purchase one?
You know what I would love to see? Making some oars.
Did you see the callout from peter stripol? Your videos helped him on a small build for an electric boat. Glad more people get to see your channel, you do amazing builds!
Leo got his deck beams from Duke.
Amazing !!
that's so interesting ... very good information
Awesome work.. love your content
Quarter sawn 🎯

Exactly ! The end of the log his not supported at all and its drops big time !!!
What's going on with ORCA haven't seen a new video in quite sometime? Is Lou ok?
i realy wish i had a fraction of your knowledge with working with wood , oh well i'll just have to keep winging it i spose heheh love ya work
Keep building!
Did I miss what kind of wood that log is? Thanks. 13:24 White oak...
Great!!!!!
How long do you even estimate this build will be????AWESOME PROJECT!! many have tried...ALL HAVE FAILED!!
What kind of (species) lumber would you use for a lobster boat ( the haul mainly). Atlantic Canada. I only have varieties avalible from NewBrunswick. (similar to Maine I think) Would red cedar be any good. (cedar, fur tree, spruce, green maple, some ash, some oak red not white, pine etc) 1/4 inch cedar cross pattern at 15 degree maybe? Keel what type of lumber?
2 years ago??? where are you?
Anyone know what happened to Lou? No activity on tips or Bristol shipwrights?
Right. When does next video debut?
Lou - How are you able to continuously talk through these videos?
What kind of wood? White oak, just heard you!
Hey I have a off subject question. I am building the work skiff and I thought you said to use brass screws. Well I have the frames and two side planks on. Am I ok or should I replace them with the ones you used????? I am ready to do the bottom and I have found and ordered galvanized screws. But should I replace the brass ones???????
This is going to be a fun build to watch. Is the v bottom skiff done?
Thanks, yes we’ll featuring the V-Bottom finish also, more videos to come!
At 11:05. The log wasn’t shimmed under the end closest to the camera and was pushed down causing the poor set of the timber. Watch as the log is deflected during the cut.
The log was deflected but the set is in the log already it’s going to spring now matter what, you can see the top piece spring as well.
His voice reminds me of Mr hippo
At some point Lou needs to name a boat “Quarter Sawn”
How about "Medullary Rays"
how much would it cost for the orca to be rebuild every bit of the orca
I wonder how much that log costs?
What's a Nova Scotia boat?
somehow Lou reminds me of Willie Nelson
I always thought keels were best hewed rather than cut?
After watching this I'd say placement is more important than method!
Whatever it takes to get it in the shape you want….hewing it would take a considerable amount of time
I have a similar high standard when choosing my tooth picks
So we are not going to see the V bottom Skiff get finished and launched ??.??
What happened to the v- bottom? No videos in a while. Hope all is well!

To give you some idea, that log run of the mill, custom sawn cost $3450 and $900 for delivery, so it’s quite expensive
If the film is anything to go for, I think you need to strengthen the transom. 😬
This one’s not gonna sink!
11:06
The log moved on the deck. It didn’t release stress and move, the log was not supported on the deck and settled.
Anybody else want to quit their tech-engineering job and become a shipwright? If I can only make the numbers work.
Where I come from, bell end means something completely different...
