“I’m a boat builder and a sailor”. So you are also watching Sampson Boat Company👍. I admire the craftmanship and passion for boat building of both you and Leo.
Thought the same thing - that was smthng very familiar to me))
Nice clean illustrated reportage. Proper blend of "show" and "tell". Very good lighting.
It this was your work, Maya, and I believe it was, it is videography of the highest order. You brought out Aladino's attention to detail and professionalism perfectly, without losing the humanity of the man. His addresses to camera are natural, and engaging. Occasional references to the world outside set him in context, and the whole process had a beginning, a middle and an end. A perfectly crafted story. Together with well chosen music that never takes centre stage. Masterful. How far you have travelled , both of you. Much admiration!
Thank you very much Nick, I really appreciate it. -Maya
Yes, this is all true. It could not be better said.
Dear Nick Caffrey
👍👌👏 Very well said, Sir, very well indeed! I wanted to comment similar but fortunately you already did all the writing work. ;-)
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Yes ⬆️ Was about to say the same, but you've already done it so beautifully. Great work to BOTH of you on this one! Felt like a proper full length documentary 🙌🎉💙
Wow, well said Nick. I was feeling the same thing. Exquisite job.
"a bit of a perfectionist" he says. Ya think!? Watching you work, to me, is as orchestrated and inspiring as the music Maya creates. The look in your eyes and the concentration in your face is as masterful as it gets. Pretty sure Duckworks is going to benefit by the updates and comments you deliver to the Scout manual. Well done Sir!
Next Series: Aladino builds a baby grand piano to accompany Maya!
Chris -- now that would be cool!
@@SailingMagicCarpet A diy Klavins no less.
@@ChrisShute62 Followed by a 9' concert model to keep up the consonance....does Bosendorfer sell kits?
Undoubtedly, many of your viewers build boats but that does not make us boat builders. You, Aladino are a master of your craft and have earned the right to call yourself a Boat Builder. With Leo, you are at the top of the heap, in a class of your own and your workmanship is an inspiration to the rest of us who can only strive to achieve your level of perfection. Your Scandinavian summer cruise was fun to watch but I am ever so glad to see you back building boats.
We are patrons to a number of sailing channels, but none gives us more pleasure than helping out Maya and Aladino. Sailing in exotic lands, building boats, original music. You have such an artful way of telling your story. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey.
You are so kind. Thank you!!
I watch specifically because of your attention to detail...never change please
Great to see a duckworks kit being built. The old project management adage of 'cost, quality, time... pick any two from three' applies again!
I love these process videos as you two work on projects. Craftsmanship and passion are fascinating to watch.
Thanks for the quality work and video.
A fourth part showing how she performs under adventure conditions would be fun and fascinating!
As beautiful as this last seasons sailing north, I am excited to watch Aladino's boat construction!
I do enjoy listening to his "accent". It is delightful "technical-ese".
Thank you, the pursuit of perfection always warms the heart. Special thanks for the playlist.
This would be a wonderful video to add to the kits.
Agreed
Guys these vids just keep getting better and better. Love the varied themes. What a great project for your time in BC. After watching I really hope Duck works links this series to their web Site. Can't wait for next Friday.
I could watch Aladino talk about and build boats all day. Beautiful editing in this video. It really took us through the journey in such an artful and satisfying way.
Thank you so much Alexis!
Your perfectionism is passion, Aladino. Thank you for this episode!
Great video Aladino! I have used Duck Works for sailing items for the WWP15. Your skill for boat work is amazing, your attention to detail and execution is nothing less than first class. Looking forward to your next video. Rob
This was fantastically done! You're video and editing skills are really shining. Keep it up!
I loved the opening and a nod to Leo with Tally Ho.
Lovely to see Aladino at work/play and to hear how he does things. Tried and tested is usually the best.
This is very interesting to me. I built my first dinghy, an OK Dinghy, nearly 60 years ago when I was 18. Hard chine, but a very different construction method - frames and stringers. As soon as I saw the intro, I wondered if I could have built my OK using the same construction technique as the Scout. It wouldn't have passed class rules, but ...
Many years later, I built an A-Class catamaran out of 3mm ply using the tortured ply method and stitch-and-glue for the "keel line". There are very high stresses in the tortured ply method and I needed less than mm precision, so I used copper wire instead of cable ties, and the spacing between ties was 50mm to 75mm. The join line was strengthened with 100mm fibreglass tape and epoxy.
I'm interested in the differences and the similarities.
Still consistently amazed by Aladino’s craftsmanship.
This one felt a lot more documentary like, but I felt it suited the contents of the video more than your standard movie style. If you guys ever need something to do in retirement (Other than sailing, that is), a lot of local museums or companies would probably love you all to help restore their vessels. It’s also interesting how many boats are being made by CNC Routers and other automated manufacturing techniques now. The technological progression in sailing alone between 1823 and 2023 is probably more than the previous 900 years. While that may be true, it obviously hasn’t diminished the need for craftsmanship, as Aladino has so wonderful demonstrated. Can’t wait for the conclusion to this miniseries!
Fair winds,
-J
It obvious that craftsmanship is not only in your hand, but in your head as well! Thank you both for this episode!
Hand, head and heart.
You two never fail to put a smile on my face. Thanks to you two for doing what you do...
I really enjoy all the sailing stories, but I really, really enjoy the boat building series as well. It's nice to see Aladino back in the workshop again.
Excited to see Aladino back on the tools. Already interesting, and now a relatively quick study, start to finish, on a kit build. What a great little project before returning to the larger one. Almost gets one back in the groove of tooling again after the summer break.👍
A video with exclusive commentary from Aladino. Amazing to see how this channel has grown. Look out Maya he’s coming for your spotlight😂❤
This has become my 'Zen' channel. Just watching Aladino extruding patience over everything he does, and Maya showcasing it wonderfully. Thanks guys.
Always good to see a true craftsman at work....... Better when he has a Beautiful Assistant ...... :-)))) xxxx
A bit off topic but do Folk recall that about 8 months ago there was a episode titled “Around The World Without GPS: Kirsten Neuschafer” who was frantically working on her Cape George to have the boat ready for the Golden Globe Race. Well she is currently leading the race, having rounded Cape Horn a couple of days ago and is currently just off the Falklands. What an incredible Lady and showing what a Cape George is capable of. Am rooting for her.
Very enjoyable to see the dinghy build and Aladino's craftsmanship.
The combination of gentle narration with outdoors shots and very gentle music gives me a sense of there being a healing element to these videos, for which I'm most thankful. Thank you!
A big step forward! It is no longer a vlog but a documentary. An artist filmer and a boatbuilder what a couple. Big Thank you!
Thank you so much Gerd!
That is such a wise observation!
Wunderschönes Projekt und die gewohnte große Beherrschung der Holzbearbeitung mit moderner Technik und der Professionalität der Vergangenheit. Bravissimo! Ich freue mich auf die Fortsetzung der Arbeit. Ihr Beiboot wird ein Kunstwerk sein.
This is something I would like to do myself. Very excited to see the next video and see the boat come together.
Absolutely brilliant. great camera work too. (please get Aladino some clear safety glasses)
It has always amazed me when I see, on line, large motor yachts with rowing machines on board. They are missing such a trick. Exploring anchorages in a dingy is one of the greatest pleasures of cruising. Exercise, green and fun. If you have youngsters on board you will never get them out of a dingy and there is no better way to learn. Sadly I am getting a bit old for playing in dingies so I will watch you instead.😀
I love Brian's workshop. He did an amazing job building it. A beautiful building.
It was great to see so much of Dino.
wow, maya, this video editing though!!! it really is a whole little documentary. such beautiful frames. thank you so much, i loved watching this.
Ahhh thank you so much!! :) :)
I’d love to see you two dancing together - any dance will do slow or otherwise preferably slow dancing 💗
I love everything about Magic Carpet! The production is absolutely amazing.
I really hope DuckWorks not only gifted the kit to you, but have at minimum a 4 year support at your Patron too. When I ´m thinking about to need me slow down already not to by me such a dinghy myself too and the glamorous use of it in your further episodes ... ok, i buy one 😂
nice video and nice Aladino talking to us, lovely switchover 😊
I for one enjoy your "build" videos! The attention to detail and craftmanship just shines thru. This is going to be one fine dingy!
An absolute craftsman, looks like a great project coming together
Aladino, can I just say that you are an amazing, creative person, with a touch of pure magick within you.
Wow, thank you!
In today’s world where so much seems brash, noisy, and getting the biggest return for the smallest input or effort - it’s truly a joy to see a real craftsman taking pride in something, and reminding us that good things come to those who work/wait.
Thanks for the great video, both.
Just a wonderful video segment. Aladino + a boat kit = perfection at completion.
Small Boats Monthly pays for reviews and your build/thoughts are a great fit. (I used to work there and try to send good articles their way whenever possible!) 1500 words and 5 photos are about $700 in pay. The editor is a great guy and awesome to work with. You should see about writing a review!
I enjoyed both of your craftsmanship, Aladino's boatbuilding skills and Maya's vidoe production skills!! Great job you two!
FAAAABULOUS! These next 3 weeks will be the longest of my life, as I anticipate the completion of the dingy...and I do have a life so...that is how excited I am. I have been deep-sea fishing on numerous occasions but never on a sailing vessel. The truth of the matter is, is I tend to get a bit sick from the motion. This obstacle however enhances the experience, as I live vicariously through your adventures. What impresses me the most, is your devotion to one another's happiness. I'm not going to surmise that there are no hiccoughs in your matrimonial interactions, but it seems that any issues that might arise between you would be easily surmounted - and the rough waters becalmed. Keep up the enthusiasm and most of all the love.
Wow, what a joyful comment to read!! I'm so happy that this series is so interesting to you! Thank you so much.
Wow! We watched this episode with our Sunday morning coffee. Matt is always so impressed by Aladino's attention to detail and meticulousness and I was taking note of Maya's impressive videography. Very nice work you two! A pleasure to watch.
Aw thanks you guys!! We are also always impressed by what you two create -- and we're honoured to call you friends!
I wondered if you guys might have collaborated with vacuum bagging the various panels as Matt seems to be the world’s best at it!
We are witnessing two budding legends in their respective fields...Mr. Meticulous and the creative genius of Maya...such fascinating work from both...
I have built a CS20 hull with stich and glue technique.
I used wire, not zip ties.
I bought all my supplies from an old class mate who has a boat yard.
I do not know why but he had me use just a paint brush to apply the appoxy and glass cloth.
It was slow and painstaking but I had absolutely no air bubbles.
In the initial scene of the video you had plank joints with rather big gaps.
I had no gaps at all.
After stiching I made fillets on the in side with thickened epoxy, leaving gaps only where the wires were.
When the fillets were cured I removed the wires and filled in the gaps in the fillets with hardened epoxy.
After this I applied glass weave strips over the fillets.
When the inner keel plank and the bulkheads and other inner structure was installed with joints filleted and covered with fiber glass weave bands, the entire interior was coverecd with glass cloth.
After this was completed I turned tghe hull over with help of a couple of friends.
Then the outside of the hull was sanded fair, the keel pland added and then glassed over and painted.
Turned over again I built the deck structure and seat hatches.
After having cut all the deck panels I made a paus in the project.
Unfortunately I have not yet resumed the project.
It has now been 15 years.
Recently I retired.
I think I need to re-start the project and complete the boat so that I can finally go sailing.
beautiful video, as usual Maya. You are a very ucky woman to have found Aladino. He truly is a craftsman
Aladino, you have mad skills bro!
Much respect for your knowledge and talent Aladino.
What a nice construction video. Almost funny to see Aladino on a schedule knowing that he will ingnore the schedule if the quality gets jeopardised. And I must say rightfully so. A job well done (again). Duck works could not get a better add. 🙂
have to say watching how to videos are my fav! this guy is so gifted at it
VERY NICE BUILD so far! I’ve never seen a puzzle-joint like that used on joining plywood pieces together, but it seems to be a very strong joint and has lots of gluing surfaces to make it stronger. When limited time and resources are major factors in any project like that, going with a premade kit seems to be the ONLY logical option to complete the individual tasks for a finished project. In the end of the sandwich tasks, it seems that your method was/is the better method to use for long term success and it produces a better end product.
watching and knowing this man and his capabilities are top notch ... it will be a jewel of a dingy ... and how much it will be part of magic carpets adventures on videos ... I am positive this will be one of the best scout dingy made ... it will be beautiful ... just like magic carpet ...
Thank you so much Anthony!
Both the sailboat and the video were well done!
Thank you Jimmy!
So nice to see this. Aladino has come such a long way with his talking to camera - confident and fluent.I am really looking forward to seeing how this dinghy comes comes out.
SUPER !
I saved watching this video until I could give it my proper attention because I knew it was going to be chock full of great information.
Now on to Part 2, but I already want to see it under sail.
The music accompanying this video was soooo perfect. 👌
So glad you liked it, thank you Judy!
Wildling Sailing brought me here 🙏
I think Duckworks should buy the rights to this video to use as their “How to build” manual. Should be worth a pretty penny.
Awesome series. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to see the finished product. Looks like a great design.
I will be starting my Duckworks S.C.A.M.P this spring (also in BC) so this is a very timely and interesting series.
I am trying to decide weather to build scratch from the plans, or to purchase the kit. You have given me much to think about showing the quality of the CNC Kit.
Thank you very much for sharing this to your channel.
This is going to be a nice little Dinghy. Nice and lite, and she's going to look pretty swanky as well. You did a great job thus far Aladino.. looking forward to the next. video cheers
I love the way Aladino said “ With my Wife!” It’s really nice to see the love you have for one another. Why am I not surprised you are building a sailing dinghy? It’s beautiful so far.
What an interesting construction method, it's so precise and modern, but still reminds me of birch bark canoes sewn together with spruce roots. Also, those rafters behind Aladino? mmmm
You could name it Magic Doormat.
I think this was a big deal to get Aladino to spend so much of the video on screen and talking about the project. Well done to the both of you. The dinghy is going to be beautiful!
Hi Aladino,
Nice work this little dingy looks wonderful. Back to the part stating that you're perfectionist, I wrote a citation in french which says :
Je préfère regretter
D'avoir essayé
Plutôt qu'avoir des regrets
De n'avoir rien fait.
You guys are so admirable, hope to see you soon somewhere on the ocean. Fair winds
Many thanks!
You are a SUPER craftsman ! I have done a lot of boatbuilding with West Epoxy (mine is NOT NEARLY as good as you). West has different thickeners… for different purposes. I have read (I think from them) to not thicken with sawdust because it steals resin. I know that Sven and lots of builders use dust, but I have started listening to the manufacturers when not too expensive. All the best.
Looks like a fun build! Goes to show!! Stick to your instincts and experience!! Uhh the super glue is very convenient to weld the planks together with spots of super glue in the stich and glue process. Get everything tightened up and just weld! Holds everything square and true. Then you can finish with coving!
I’m very much envious of your ability and command of the English language, knowing that not only is it not your native tongue, but that you can speak others, as well. Plus you have an adorable wife.
So good! Your film work and editing continues to grow and storytelling is INCREDIBLE! Looking forward to the rest of this short series.
There is only one way to do this construction and that is the right way , you call yourself a perfectionist , I call it doing the job the right way, what a great idea for a tender for your boat thank you for sharing your vlog all the best from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Fabulous! I love the care in craftsmanship. A very nice dinghy design.
Nice job on the panels/fibreglassing! Look forward to the assembly 👍🏴🇬🇧
Aladino.
You Are A very skilled craftsman.
It is a pleasure to watch.
Your father in law must be a proud man.
Kindest regards
Jesper of Denmark 🇩🇰😎🇩🇰
You should host a workshop to pass on the amazing skills you have!
Wederom bedankt voor deze mooie aflevering Aladino. Wat een vakman ben je! En Maya een dikke duim voor je editing.
I learn so much about building or modifying or repairing boats from the Sailing Magic Carpet videos, and I enjoy the touring videos as well. The editing and music are lovely, and the travel videos show me places I may never have the opportunity to see in person.
If I were to build this kit it would take me a year or more and not look as nice. Thanks for the video, I can't wait for the other parts.
As I’m an aspiring skin on frame boat builder this exposure to skill and excellence is most inspiring ! Many thanks ; )
Aladino é um mestre no preparo, corte e montagem. Parabéns!!
I love watching the craftsman at work!!
And we thank you for watching!
Aladino is the Michaelangelo of boat building, I am sure the finished boat will be a masterpiece, can't wait to see the next episode.
very cool editing of the boat works perfectionists documentary.
Thank you both for what you do. It's very grounding. Aladino's craftsmanship and attention to detail are inspiring. Maya's artistic eye and production skills really help convey what feels like a symphony orchestra.
I’m very excited to watch a stitch and glue construction as I’ve been considering doing a similar kit for a long time. This will help me decide weather or not I have enough skill to do an adequate job. Loved it so far.
Such a nice story to look forward to each week. I really appreciate both of your attention to detail and quality of finished product. It's just superb!
Thank you Aladino, Your teaching well to an audience. Because your determination and focus on preserving the legacy of building boats and parts out of wood is outstanding. I´ll take this with me. Might even buy one. Hence Hyperlon and PCV has shorter lifeterm than these ones.
As for Maya, your videography and editing is amazing.
Great project! It's fun to see this method of construction - there are a lot of clever details in this design. I'm a total amateur boat builder, but I've been documenting my construction of a CNC glue lap Aber Dinghy in and around my normal job... so it's taken a lot longer than 30 days :-) Excited to see your results.
Simply stunning worksmanship and craftmanship both on the build and the video. There is nothing wrong in striving for perfection particularly as you don’t waste time achiving it (unlike many other folks who faff and faff and never quite get it right)! Can’t wait for Ep 2 and 3.
Can't wait, it's going to be beautiful.
Aladino, you rock!
One of yalls' best videos.
Oh-vacuum cleaner is out; Aladino is building again!
