Hi Brian, Thank you for your videos. I am 66 years old and a 5th generation boat builder. I especially like your videos because of your great attention to detail, particularly how you developed a system that is not only efficient but is also easy to follow. It's a good reminder there is always something to learn and different ways to do it. Good job, great videos. Roberto
Hi Brian, thank you for all your videos! I like that you really explain the details including the mishaps and also give advice on how one could do it differently than you. It really gives me the feeling of being directly in the shop in a 1 on 1 boat building course. Also, extra thumbs up for the epoxy safety advice! There are so many horrible videos out there that just ignore the dangers.
+1 on your epoxy tips. In addition to yours, I have two more: (1) After epoxying boat parts, I always wipe any squeeze out away, first with a scrap piece of wood and then with paper towels. This saves me a ton of sanding, especially in places that are hard to reach. (2) Instead of using the little pump that can be screwed on the epoxy containers, I always measure by weight with a digital kitchen scale, using grams as a unit. This avoids any trouble with those pumps, and it also allows me to mix small amounts. Most epoxy manufacturers publish their by-weight mixing ratio.
@@samfrings1193 it was just something I was doing on this particular boat at the request of the customer. Polyurethane would be fine. And with a good planning in cooler temperatures, you can also use titebond 3. The nice thing about epoxy is the very long working time if you get the slow cure stuff.

Glad to learn how to glue up a scarf joint correctly.

@@andyw248 hey Andy, thanks for the advice, I’m pretty new to working with epoxy so every tip is useful
Hi Brian,
I am enjoying this build and the down and dirty format. Probably saving you some computer time too.
@@dennisstahl7621 thanks Dennis! Honestly, even with this format, it’s actually more editing every day than it is building!
Hi Brian, thanks for your videos learning a lot. Can i ask why you use epocy for yourr laminations now instead of Polyurethane?
