I really love your channel ! I also very much like the sculptures that you show in the introduction to your videos , they are stunning !! This particular video was great , and I very much like the fact that pencils and paper are used to design boats at the school vs computers...I have nothing against computers, but it is really refreshing to see people still using traditional methods. I really love watching your channel
Hello, I'm here in Brazil, watching your videos and I'm delighted with your art. In addition, I am learning a lot about boat building. Impressive how meticulous you are in your work. Congratulations and please continue to toast us with this wonderful work.😀
I learnt boat building from my Father in the UK during the late 50's and early 60's, with him Burrs were called Roves and always tight on the copper nail so they were driven home with a hollow punch this held every thing together whilst the nail was trimmed. I was the one on the outside holding the dolly against the nail head whilst he peened the inside end over the rove using the ball part of the ballpeen hammer. He would indicate when it was time to move to the next nail with a quick double tap. It was a proud day when I was allowed to do the peening. Nice to see you carrying on the good work.
Roger Bayzand Yes, roves are still used. Like a burr but more of a conical shape. They are usually used with square rivets and as you remember set with a setting tool. They aren’t ready available for the length needed hence using copper nails and burrs. Thanks for you comment and support.
Great video what a awesome opportunity the wooden boat school offers. To design your own boat and have a pro look over your design is almost priceless.
Absolutely love following your work... you truly have a gift for teaching and I hope you continue... I can barely draw a stick man but you make it all very real, thank you sir ⛵️
Really enjoying this series. Been interested in Paul Gartside designs. There's one I really like but wish it was about 6-8 feet longer. That class you took looks really interesting and useful. Thanks for sharing this info.
@@TheArtofBoatBuilding Design #223 store.gartsideboats.com/collections/sailboats/products/32ft-gaff-cutter-design-223 I imagine that boat stretched out to 36-38ft would be perfect. I like tiller steering. It has a good layout. I like Lyle Hess designs and it has similar style he did in his Bristol Channel Cutter and his other cutter designs, and like the boats Lin and Larry Pardey built/sailed.
Nice work on the rivets using the sledge with the handle on it as a dolly is a good idea i admire your skills and the way you learned the trade with Paul I’m very glad i found your channel in all. Honestly a couple of your homemade tools got my attention and i was suprised to read the name of your channel as. Building. My own. Wood boat has been a dream of mine for a few years
Glad to see the Haven coming along. While watching holes for the floor timber rivets being drilled it reminds me of why I still keep my old Makita 90 degree cordless angle drive around. It can fit between a set of closely spaced frames with ease. Finding batteries however is becoming harder and harder. Also I met Paul G. Once back around 1982 or so. Great guy.
She is coming along right nicely and that run about you designed will be beautiful. Looks like you had perfect weather there in Maine, back in 2017 when I was there it rained every day.
POWER BOAT??!!! POWER BOAT???!!!! Have we lost you to the "Dark Side?" The force in you is strong....resist!!! Only teasing........I can't wait to see all your builds and videos! DD
Dennis Downes LOL! That reminds me of when Bob Dylan pull out this electric guitar at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and played “Like a Rolling Stone “ trader they yelled! Well it all worked out okay for him, an us. All wooden boats are good boats!! Thanks Dennis, I appreciate your comments and support! Bob
@@TheArtofBoatBuilding Bob, I live in Rhode Island and love going to the Newport Folk Festival. We joke all the time about Dylan going electric. I worked with a friend who was there when Dylan "went electric." He said "they" were definitely booing him! Regardless, Dylan, Newport, and wooden boats, all belong together. Keep building Bob!!! DD
Glad to see another video Bob. Work is progressing rapidly and it looks really nice. I enjoy your calm explanations of what your are doing. So relaxing and informative. I have wondered about what the Paul Gartside class at Woodenboat School included so that was a fantastic piece of information. Thank yo for that and for sharing this bid with us out in Tube Land. Have a good weekend.
The next project starts life just after you start the current one, ha, ha. I know about that one. The design school course looks great, I'm not sure if we have such a thing over here in the UK. I have been playing around with drawings trying to work out water lines and buttocks for quite a while. The most success I had was by making a half hull model and spiling off of that. Not time wasted, but a class like that would answer a lot of questions. Enjoyed the vid.
Wonderful video Bob and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm already trying to plan one of my vacation weeks to attend one of the courses down in Brooklyn next summer.
Great project and really enjoy the simple and real info/tips and tasteful approach to diy boatbuilding. Love the whole synthesis of your learning and discovery being shared so effectively in each video. For the particular riveting of frames to floors, would there not be a need to bed them using some anti-rot « stuff » ? Curious in Ottawa.
Great boat school information. I checked the link to his site (books, plans, and such) but couldn't find s link to his classes. Your boat is coming along nicely, but I feel a little let down that you didn't share a bit more on the framing actually being done. Love the copper nail rivots.
Thomas Russell Thanks! The class was organized by the Wooden Boat School. Here is a link. www.thewoodenboatschool.com/ The framing was petty repetitive I didn’t think it would be that interesting. Thanks for your comments and interest. I really appreciate it.
No bedding compound or tar or felt or blowing out the sawdust at least from between the floors and the frames before riveting? Are things like that only necessary with larger cruising boats?
I'm myself enjoying a lovely style of this presentation made with a great sense of taste. However I suspect that some technical complications might have being left behind the scene. Riveting by a pair of hands from my experience is quite a tricky job to complete. Looking forward to see the planking stage, which, in my opinion, is the most tricky part of the project.
Thanks for cutting off the excess on the zip ties!!! That's what separates US boat builders, artists, and electricians from plumbers!! Hhahahahah! Just kidding.......but thanks for cutting them anyway!! Thanks for the visit to Maine!

I can see how the boat school logo influenced the logo for the Art of Boat Building. Great work Bob. Thanks for sharing!

Roves are used in Sweden, you won't even find burrs here. Burrs seem like a second-rate solution.
Don't ever stop making these training videos! You are a great teachers!
Frame is about finished and she looks well made and strong.
I really like this presenter.
Great video what a awesome opportunity the wooden boat school offers. To design your own boat and have a pro look over your design is almost priceless.
I'm from Port Huron, so the classic Chris-Craft boat are near and dear to me, Algonac is just a little down river from where I grew up.
I want to retire my years , boat building , and being so happy like this man...

First to enjoy a great video.
Bob, Did you decide to build the runabout? I have a friend who just purchased a mahogany 1956 Shepherd Model 105. Very nice.
Hi Andy,
Not yet. It is still on my “Boat I Want To Build” list.
56 Shepherd, nice boat!
Cheers,
Bob
Question: why is riveting better than using bolts and nuts, other than perhaps cost? Am loving your series!
No bedding compound or tar or felt or blowing out the sawdust at least from between the floors and the frames before riveting? Are things like that only necessary with larger cruising boats?
t Khrist Correct no need on small craft.
I'm myself enjoying a lovely style of this presentation made with a great sense of taste. However I suspect that some technical complications might have being left behind the scene. Riveting by a pair of hands from my experience is quite a tricky job to complete. Looking forward to see the planking stage, which, in my opinion, is the most tricky part of the project.
Thanks, I do work alone. I am also looking forward to the planking. It's when the boat really takes shape.
Wow do you live right next to the wooden boat school?
No, I live in Illinois and the boat school is in Maine.
@@TheArtofBoatBuilding I live in germany, to me that sounds like right next to :)
Thanks for cutting off the excess on the zip ties!!! That's what separates US boat builders, artists, and electricians from plumbers!! Hhahahahah! Just kidding.......but thanks for cutting them anyway!! Thanks for the visit to Maine!
Cut tag ends of zip ties can be VERY sharp and are sometimes left long to prevent this safety issue.
