We meet Josh Tulberg, an industrial designer who fabricated a mini boat of his own design, using his workshop laser cutter and 3D printer. Josh shows us how his boat kit is put together using zip ties and epoxy, and we take his boat on the water to test its seaworthiness. And it surpassed all of our expectations!

Hello, can you give me information on where to buy the plans for the rapid Testing a Laser-Cut Mini Boat! ... Well, on your page it does not allow me to contact me..thanks ..cafedejupiter @ gmail.com
I would pay money to see an Adam Savage One Day Build on this. This is awesome
WE NEED TO LIKE THIS SO WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN! STAND WITH ME PEOPLE! LIKE SO ADAM CAN SEE THIS! XD
Can't one day build this. The types of epoxy and the fiber glass and varnish finishes require long dry and cure times.
His one day builds have turned into multiple day builds because of drying times. Personally I don't have a problem with it as long as he aint doing something like restoring a car and editing it down to pass it off as one day

he looks soooo happy in that boat
Yea XD
i would be, too!
I like how Norm says "it's a testament to your design", then Josh says "mostly design, also a bit of luck." I build stuff all the time, and I feel the same way.
Caliber Whips ikr, same here.
I just watched this video after watchin one of yours
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about diy sailboat plans try Joolaim Rudder Replication (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my co-worker got great success with it.
That thing looks like you need to put 25 cents in to make it go.
Dang, I wish I had thought of that. Too funny.
would def find an old gumball machine and salvage the quarter feeder onto the instrument panel of this boat!
The coolest project I've seen lately!
"Unsinkable". Where have I heard that before?
Ultimo D TITANIC?! maybe lol
The thing is that you can crush a big ship into an iceberg but all you can do with velocity and mass of that boat is take a cute bump.
RaV_PL not really, you could slam right into a wall.
RaV_PL Torpedos?
Ultimo D the Micro Titanic!
Shout out to Norm!! Thanks for staying humble and capable of learning. You are truly my personal inspiration. You're smart already, but you're also smart enough to still be able to learn. Kudos my friend.
These are awesome! And they look so fun to ride.
You guys are having too much fun. And I love it!
Geeksmithing I agree😃
Geeksmithing agreed😊
True craftsmanship! Art and engineering coming together nicely!
What is your point?
I'd say more engineering than art. Still very very cool.
Gus, the Mirror is a 2 person unmotorized sailboat with a daggerboard. This is a powerboat with a completely different hull design. Why the vitriol? Can you communicate without being a douche?
I just love how gleeful and excited Norm looked riding one of these, and how underwhelming the footage was haha. Seems like it'd *definitely* be more fun actually riding than just watching would let on.
all worth it for that thumbnail.
Want. My folks are gonna wonder what the heck I'm saving for. "A mini boat".😅
Same but I'd use it for fishing
“Want”
Can't wait for the Laser-Cut Mini Airplane kit (based on cri-cri model).

this video made me happy, the joy on you guys faces as you start rocking back and forth in the seat making the boat boop around, should make a series of video building a few of em and then race them around in a pond
This is premium nerdism, functionality and 'I'm captain of me own boat, me hearty!'
Love this blend of madness!
Never thought a boat could be cute
Vape Naysh I
then you've never seen a seaflea :)
used to make them all the time … but this laser cut boat would have been far better as a tunnel hull
That has to be the best thumbnail ever.
this is so cool , great addition for the summer!
My late grandfather built me a stitch and glue kayak when I was 8 years old. I'm now 59, the kayak is still in operation. Copper wire and glass taped edges. He had built small stitch and glue sea sleds to tow behind his 35' cruiser well before I was born
That's the cutest thumb nail I've see in months
Mike's Tool Shed Hey dident expect to see you here!
what was the last thumbnail?
Haha yeah, I wonder what Tom Hanks would say!
Simone needs to make a video about building and driving one.
I can picture her using a multitude of hands on either side like a Mississippi steamboat, lol.
Then living in it
Omg this made my month, this is one of the greatest things I have ever seen!
The guy "ducking" behind the final chat-up absolutely floored me. THAT IS AMAZING!
More videos like this please. This was reminiscent of Tested videos of old.
if you want more like this, search American Boathead
I NEED THIS SO BADLY IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! this is beyond awesome
you got a few thousand???
check out paul elkins and the micro boat or American Boathead
you tool, American Boathead
Such an innovative, beautiful, highly efficient making. Excellent interview and video report.
pretty awesome!! and totally scalable! this totally opens the door to all kinds of things. thanks for sharing Tested!
New one day build for Adam
Gwarguts Your profile picture reminds me of a swastika. Neat.
I would really like to see Adam build one
Saw that instantly had to look like three times ahah
NotSoJosh no ya fuckin rod
hahaha :P
Now turn it into a hydrofoil.
Greg Sherman thats exactly what I was thinking
Greg Sherman it would have to go a lot faster for hydrofoils to work
That would be really cool and easily adaptable for a boat this size, just needs a bit bigger motor
This should be nominated for a tested build with Adam
I like how this boat looks like something that wouldn’t look out of place in the 60’s but is created with laser cutting and 3D printings
Ikea flatpack boat
So cool, keep the great work up❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗
Bordasfuck What you doing That pic
Bendegúz Csóka , Mable was having a bad day. ❤️❤️❤️
Love this dudes passion. Amazing!
Awesome video, looks like a lot of fun!!! Thanks for posting, now off to order one!
We need mini boat racing!!
Gasper Erjavec google it
Or bumper boat.
I wonder what the fastest 12v trolling motor you can get is 😂
i would mod the hell out of it, i would probably just over-volt it to 60v or just use something like a 6kw rc motor
24v on a 12v motor! :-)
It's a very small water coffin.
Steering coffins is hard, do you even lift?
ooooo... that reminds me of that Macgyver episode where he had to escape in a coffin that turned into a jet ski! THAT would be an awesome build!
Frogboy it will be when a shark attacks ut
@@antoniokim8033 Lol, maybe stick to lakes, when i say lakes i mean, streams, when i say streams, i mean swimming pools!
That first clip of you rocking in the boat and having a blast is classic! I need a CNC pronto :)
A maker making a thing, and knowing how it works and enthusiastic about it. Great content guys. I've missed this kind of content of the tested team going out and testing something weird.
That looks like so much fun, maybe could use some more power? ;) Love the fact that it fits in the trunk of a car!
prius c even... lol
Except for the price you could buy a couple kayaks and a trailer for said kayaks.
Check out Paul Elkins small boat as well he's had up for years. No cad software needed.
You took the words outta my mouth, this is nothing but a copy cat design!!!! From the steering system all the way to the sailors hat!!! what a douche bag for taking credit for design!!
Awesome! Love this. Thanks Norm!
Fantastic! Very well done, promises a lot of fun! Also great is the philanthropic fact that you offer the construction plans and printing files for free so that any ambitioned homeworker could do the ingenious mini boat completely by himself.
Dude, they look awesome! I want one... But I don't have any lakes nearby to use them, only the sea... I don't think I'd be brave (stupid) enough to take it out there!
Lufferov yea it does seem a bit freeboard challenged for ocean sailing.
For the price of one of these you could buy a high quality sea kayak and a small trailer for it.
Fart Farmer 2.0 or a good high quality inflatable
Fart Farmer 2.0 or a really nice deep v bow (ocean safe) used aluminum boat with gas motor and trailer.
Personally other then the tiny electric motor I would try this on a calm over cast morning so Cal morning when the ocean is smooth.
So, litteraly, Norm motorboating?
Love this! Tested is inspiring me to create!
Really good episode, I would watch Tested build one.
Can I get a fully built one?
Guess not lol.
hell no lmfao
Laser cutter sales in Cuba going up 📈
Shaun Vickers lol I was thinking the exact same thing
Who in their right mind thinks a laser is available to the general public? And a public still with mostly 1956-57 cars where is a laser in their budgets? Brahaha!
i love the way norm interviews people! i feel like he should have his own channel
Definitely clicked through because of the preview image of Norm in the tiny boat. Too cute!
Own design/idea? Reminds a lot about Paul Elkins "plywood electric boat".
he gave credit to Paul did he not?
SpydersByte he still stole his idea and design, they are extremely similar. I bought and built Paul’s boat 3+ years ago
Make a steam powered one, like in the movie Ponyo and I’d be the first one to buy it.
Garret Hynes that would be easy to do man, and he sells the boat without a motor so it would be simple to put a steam engine in.. I would have an issue with having a hot boiler that close to my proximity though, I would rather have a Stirling engine or something pushing it using the heat difference between the water and the air
This is just amazing!!
That ride looks confidence inspiring.
14:00 when nerds are set loose in the wild
Needs a Merc 20 :-p
thank god someone said it!!!
What an adorable little boat! Love it!
But hate the price.. i though automation and small size should decrease price, not increase it. 1500-2000$ for this thing is wayyy too much.
Fantastic upload! Really great highlight.
Went to the website. Turns out I'm too tall for the boat by one inch
$1.5k - $2k ($1k for his kit + $500/$1000 for extras) for a complete boat sounds good but on eBay you can buy a 2nd hand actual boat for the same and even less. Its a great piece of kit but a tad pricey for a gimmick. They look super fun though.
uuugh you dont get it
Yeah exactly. I don't think anyone commenting here has ever owned a real boat that is much bigger/faster and costs far less than this toy boat. on even a small to medium sized lake you'll learn real quick why most boats go faster than a crawling pace.
there's also no room for an oar , which every smart boater knows you need.
Themaxleydog heard of a "Praddle"?
hedlund88 what do you mean? Its a gimmick... id rather buy two quality kayaks and a damn trailer for them versus two of those small slow boats and still manage to pocket an easy grand plus.
"there's also no room for an oar" Sure there is, mount a small one to the side somewhere.
LOVE this! How cool would a transparent version of this be?!
Take your guys, get in those boats and enjoy a beer & the sun driving down the stream. Priceless
Very very cool but it's another product that's very expensive for most of us, Between $1500-2000 all in is a lot of cash.
The price doesn't detract from the creativeness and fun the thing could give though.
You know you could make a traditional build plywood boat using 1/2" construction grade plywood, a gallon or so of fiberglass resin (water proofing and with a bit of glass mat tons of strength), a quart of wood glue (to help bond seams) 10 dollars worth of fastener hardware (screws and if you have a brad nailer some ultra fine brad nails) a few quarts of oil based enamel (for extra water proofing and great color schemez) and a minn kota trolling motor (the most common brand and reasonably priced and you would be out 500 bucks... Even less if you bought a used motor....
I think I have an idea, I need to figure out how to film descent TH-cam videos...
actually you could build this from cheap luan paneling and polyester resign and only fiberglass on the outside and strips in the seams to save on glass.. actually you could get away with strips at seams and joints only as the luan is very porous and acts like fiberglass. Polyester resign is a lot cheaper (but be sure to run tests as to the amount of "hardener" to use in the mix depending upon the heat, sun, moisture etc. (do test is best as it takes only a few minutes to cure... I use the cool to slow it down till everything is covered and then heat it up to cure it completely.) The double hull and curves is more than enough strength for the water whcihinherantly distributes pressure to all surfaces.
So now the price is around $50 for wood (you could laminate two pieces together too which would hold the shape very well) and $75 for resign $25-75 for cloth then the batteries $200, motor $75 ebay.. I'd get something with some power or just go with some small gas motor to get on a plane.. it is a flat bottom so no problem and it can hold a lot more weight (use double triple layers for strength spots) .. so yea for about $500 can do... or salvage as much as possible except the resign and cloth Which one could use standard corner wood (more detailed work) for all corners and seams... for about $100..
Of course what is a boat without a sail??????? for when your motor or battery runs out??
ha ha great build!!
Can it accommodate a 280-pound 6''6" man?
I checked his website... I'm too big for it :'(
You could maybe scale it up abit

Wouldnt be hard to build your own 7-8 foot mini boat..
I'm 6'4 220lb, I was wondering the same thing. Looks a bit cramped =P Scratch build it and add an extra foot or find similar slightly larger plans?
That's awesome. I can't wait for the jet version.
Solid mini boat! I'm actually in the planning stages of doing a stitch and glue boat on a much larger scale, a Tolman Super Jumbo. Great fishing platform!
and it only cost aprox 2500$ + time/labor...
American Boathead search it lol
2:22 It's a boat, not a ship. So it's boated and not shipped.
Stop man
Actually, you ship boats, and you transport ships.(yep, they got ships that ship ships, which is why I think they call it transporting).
That is absolutely adorable
True craftsmanship
Biker Bros no its not, its made with lazer
Add a ball 1/3 full of water, 2/3 air and then have 3 boats on each side and you have a sport.
John, I really like that idea. It would be such good fun.
I couldn't NOT click on a video with that thumbnail.
ReverendTed why it’s awesome
love it, feeling inspired and want to see my students build one
The adhesive used on marine ply is water resistant- and more expensive as well. The wood used is also an exotic wood used to being wet and won’t rot as readily as regular ply.
To not mention Paul Elkins in this video is tantamount to plagiarism...
He does mention Paul Elkins in the video (12:45).
Barely. A backhanded snide mention doesn't count in my book. It has the exact look and design as the PAUL ELKINS boat. This "designer" stole Paul Elkins intellectual property as far as I'm concerned.
Well you'll have to take it up with Paul Elkins, who is now featuring this project on www.elkinsdiy.com/
Paul is far too kind... And this "designer" is far too unappreciative.
That comment was neither backhanded nor snide. It was friendly one-upmanship at the worst.
This is pure joy.
wow fantastic - looking forward to the jet ski version :)
You can buy a real boat with a real engine for less than that. I own several boats that were a few hundred bucks that came with motors and trailers. They only need 25$ registration stickers. that's it.
get a little aluminum row boat/fishing boat with a few hp outboard and it'll be 10 times better than this thing.
I get your point but its a bit off. This is aimed at the maker/hobbyist community, a lot of fun is making the project and having something unique. You could put this in pretty much any car too, while a fishing boat would need a trailer. Obviously a real boat or even kayak would be superior in terms of durability and usability, but thats not really the point here.
Themaxleydog This is a toy, and toys are not bought with logic :D
These look like a lot more fun on the lake for a large age range than just any old Craigslist boat.
That's cool, but what would that have to do with this channel? This is about MAKING and TESTING a boat, not buying a boat.
"Some people want to *add* to the conversation, and some people *just* want to add to the conversation" - Adam Savage
Great job, Josh!
Outstanding.
best channel ever with ADAM SAVAGE
Wow that is SOOOOOOOO COOOl. Good job
That's really cool, love it!
Norm's happy little face at the end is priceless
I'd say that this is the precursor to a new Boat sport!
Those mini boats are sick!
The boat is so cuuuuuuuuuuute!
This is why I love tested!
Thats pretty awsome, i had no idea you could build boats without any fasteners!
that looks hella cool great little boat
It's lovely and quiet
So much fun!
that is feaking awesome i live where there is a lake that cant have gas powered motors on it this is perfect!
This is Amazing!!!
Holy crap this is awesome!
Nice kit
Those boats are awesome!!!!!
Now I really want one of these.
