  • It's finally time for us flip the skiff over, but first we need to finish attaching the runners to the bottom of the boat. In this video Lou is going to show you how he pre-drilled the runners with three different bits before nailing them down using 3 1/2-inch boat nails or cut nails. After that we'll saw off the over hanging ends of the runners and then touch them up with a handsaw, planer and chisel blade. Now we're gonna flip it over and take a look at all our hard work.

    Attention to detail that most people, even shipbuilders will never see is what makes your work the Rembrandt of Shipwrights. 99% of the builders would have omitted those small extra details figuring it’s not necessary or has no function. But it’s those details that make a boat last a long time. Those details have purpose. When you see work like that it is a piece of art. Thanks for sharing and explaining.

    Really appreciate your instruction. Building a wooden skiff has been a dream of mine for the last 20 years.

    you have an irishman looking on here with great satisfaction that people are still making stuff like this, practical, fun and with a real trade touch to it. you are a fantastic craftsman and i enjoy the no bullshit attitude you have to getting a job done. thanks

    Talk about passion. This guy is next level. Belt broke? Don't have time to go to the store and buy one cause we're working on a skiff? Some rope will fix that. Respect.

    What a treat. She's born now, right side up, and she looks proper. From start to end this video was fabulous, can't wait to see what's next. :)

    There is something about that moment when you flip the hull over - excitement, anticipation, accomplishment - you name it. Not quite the same when you build a boat upright, it just sort of happens. I could feel your enthusiasm when you turned her over. That was always a fun day when we were building Lightning Class back in the 50s and called the yard crew into the boat shop to take a hull off the form and turn her over. Looking forward to seeing her fitted out on the interior. Thank you for sharing your adventure!

    Lou, its so relaxing seeing you enjoying the building of this boat, a man who likes to get out of bed and go to work. Sure wish all Americans were as great at their craft as you are doing yours'. You sir, have my utmost respect!
    While framing houses in the early 1970's I used those cut nails to nail the bottom plates to the concrete slab. They held very well. If you had a misplacement and had to pull the nails, they didn't release...chunks of concrete came up with the nails as they were pulled. Thanks for refreshing my memory about them...."the good old days"....lol

    I love that this is a trip to your childhood, Louis (My late father's name BTW, and he welded his own fishing boat, too, before I was born.). I love that you are sharing your love with us, and really opening my eyes as a Scene Tech for Theater to better methods of "non-straight-line" construction. I've already used your lessons in the thing's I've built. Thank you.

    Wow! She gets turned over on this episode. Very cool. I am so much enjoying this series. I look forward to every episode. I love watching you work and more importantly enjoy the history and dialogue. I don't comment very often but felt very motivated once she was turned upright and you hopped in for some reminiscing. Great channel and awesome build series.

    I'm not to into Boats but Carpentry in general. That being said I learn a lot from watching these videos, I will not soon forget what gives cut nails their holding power. No where but a tradesman would no that or even care. Keep up the good work.

    On your video about chainsaw sharpening, I have been trying to learn for awhile, but I took your advise and put on a pair of Magnifiers , Wow what a difference, Now Im able to see the very cut of the tooth, Improved my sharpening by 100%. I dont know why I never thought about doing that, I would wear my reading glasses, but with the mags, everything is perfectly clear now. Thanks. Its the little things that make the biggest difference.

    Love seeing Lou so happy and proud of his work. Completely justified. Following this build is one of my favorite series on youtube. I feel like Lou could explain how he sweeps his shop and I still wouldn't miss an episode. the fact he's building a beautiful skiff is icing on the cake.

      Andy Martin Especially since he does a lot of things quite unconventionally. Like those giant galvanised screws, the use of the electric plane or those nails in this episode.

    • @andymartin1316
      @andymartin1316 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The part where he explained why the cut nails hold so well and how you're supposed to use them was all news to me.

  • @pjwpsw1
    @pjwpsw1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The best part of building a boat is rolling it over for the first time. It is so addictive. I will go get a cup of coffee and just sit and stare at it for an hour or so! (no exaggeration)

  • @mikelewis6629
    @mikelewis6629 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks Lou! It's great to see your excitement when you reminisce about your Dad and how he used his skiffs.
    It's that intimate connection with the past (either personal or historical) that make the building of wooden boats so satisfying.
    You're a natural on these videos, and remind me of the talented builders I knew in Maine when I started out.

    What a pretty boat!!! Looks bigger than 17ft long. Maybe bring the sides up an extra 6 inches than you were going to for those windy days with rough water. Love it. Live it. I figured you would be using screws to hold the bottom down to those 3 boards running the length on outside bottom!! I figured it would squeeze the bottom boards tite to bottom boards which would keep it from creeping. Great job. Can't wait for the next video. Thank You for sharing this build. Vinny

    So besides being one of the best build series on TH-cam at the moment.You're going to help a lot of folks make those same memories you were just talking about and to me thats what's really important.
    So I really wanted to say Thank you.
