Who was surprised when the spanner piece was a perfect fit, first time ? Yeah, thought not… I could watch Lou stack shelves all day and still be entertained by the way he talks about it. This is RUclips at it’s very best, there’s no doubting it, what a fabulous project this is going to be - MSM, watch and weep.
Louis, I want you to know that your videos for the V Hull skiff, and also the Orca have given me so much information about woodworking, and I really enjoy your everyday man explanation of your cut and fitment of timbers. You have so much experience, and you are able to put it into layman‘s terms so I can under understand. You are an inspiration to many and I just wanted to tell you.
Honestly he should contact them if he hasn't, he's does such amazing work with their tools, a credit to him as a craftsman. Not only would they probably happily kit him out, they may sponsor the build.
With every new boat I‘m more amazed by the skills this man shows 😳👏🏻👏🏻 Incredible and so instructive, thank you very much for every minute of your time
I studied marine carpentry for two years. What I miss is the problem solving. You can feel your brain getting stronger, like a muscle. I would have loved to work in this man's shop. :o)
Whoever and however Lou became a RUclips sensation should receive a medal. The way Lou shares his knowledge, talent, skill, experience, and wisdom is second-to-none.
I'm so excited for this project. I love building things and I grew up watching jaws almost everyday. Even grew up on the water. But wood boats are a rarity in Florida.
There is always the assumption that power tool work doesn’t require the skill of hand tools, but when I see how good the fit is right off the first planing, I know there is a lot of skill involved.
I spent alot of time in that upstairs as a kid. Sanding wood on a huge disk sander, catching skin sometimes lol. My uncle had a reloading machine there also where we reloaded shotgun shells. Great memories.
Lou, far from me to tell you how to use your saw, but you might want to adjust the rear roller guide a bit forward. It looks like the blade’s teeth hit the side guides when you feed the wood in as evidenced by the sparks. As you know, that’ll dull it pretty quick. My first job after being trained as a Navy shipwright was to cut oak planks for the old wooden hull minesweepers on an old re-saw bandsaw about that size.
Lou I think I have watched every video you have posted on RUclips. Totally inspired me to build my own boat and I have used your instruction many times. I have even tried to document my build to try and help other people just as you are doing. I'm even going to be giving away a set of plans to help someone else. If you are ever in the south, I'd love to have you come by and see what I've been up to. You can see my progress on my channel. Figure it's a long shot, but you miss all the shots you don't take. I think Orca is a great idea and I can't wait to follow along.
Hi Mark! We just launched the V-Bottom skiff yesterday and got some amazing video, will share that shortly...love you for sticking with us and so happy to have you on board for ORCA!!
Orca immediately became the #1 wooden boat building project on RUclips. Even better than Tally Ho or Rediva. Sorry Leo and Garret. Lou is the MAN and Orcas the boat!!
Thanks Louis for the New built just wish your produced would Make them longer so we Can learn more and see more of your Work being Done. Happy Holidays.
This is so educational as well as entertaining! I need to replace a bad wooden add on keel that was mahogany wood put on a groverbuilt 26' boat many years ago and is now rotted. I have been told I should use mahogany again or brazilian oak as a replacement. The boat is fiberglass with stern having a fiberglass keel and this keel bolted from it to bow area 2 1/2" wide, maximium of 6" tall tapering to only 2 1/2" tall where it stops shy of bow and wood keel addition is total of 20' 6" length. Can I use white oak and make it in two sections scarfed like this one instead of mahogany? Does anyone know if I should or not? Any help much appreciated!

This is the keel we are talking about, gentlemen. The very backbone of the ship. You want it to be "one" strong piece. Mechanical connections loosen over time due to the flexing of the timbers. I would be more interested in hearing what Lou has to say.

Ryobi needs to give this man an entire set of every tool they make.
Honestly he should contact them if he hasn't, he's does such amazing work with their tools, a credit to him as a craftsman. Not only would they probably happily kit him out, they may sponsor the build.
@@Xelbiuj If he goes to them, he has no leverage. When they come to him, he has all the leverage in the world. Such is the game of sponsorship.
Let's make it happen ;)
they make about 150 different tools
I simply cannot wait to see this project unfold over the next few years.
Thanks James, we couldn't be more excited to finally be digging into ORCA, more fun on the way!

You did a great job picking that oak: it's gorgeous! Thanks, Lou and crew, for another great episode.
Such enthusiasm is contagious! Lessons for all aspects of life sprinkled throughout 👏

Thank you Scott!
Nice job Lou ! And look at those medulary rays !!!
Good spot!
I'm so excited for this project. I love building things and I grew up watching jaws almost everyday. Even grew up on the water. But wood boats are a rarity in Florida.
Right on, Halsey is a huge movie fan so bringing ORCA back to life is going to be pretty special
wood boat in florida.....I wood not
@@garrittp8680 why knot?
Always a pleasure watching you. You are a great teacher.
I’m so pumped about this project, cannot wait to watch it come together!
Thank you for giving us such a detailed lesson on boat building, your knowledge, skills and abilities are first rate.
This is one time when “a spanner in the works” is a positive thing!
Can't lie, I'm waiting to see the V-Bottom in the water! I love you're using a tiller control :)
Hi Brian, we just filmed the V-Bottom sea trials, video coming shortly!!
Taking half a pencil line away is incredible accuracy to me. Thanks Lou!
I am so excited for this project, keep it coming Lou!
Nice bandsaw OMGLOL it's huge.
I love how you explain things. Cool to see how much you love what you do.
Thanks Kris
There is always the assumption that power tool work doesn’t require the skill of hand tools, but when I see how good the fit is right off the first planing, I know there is a lot of skill involved.
You're absolutely right Harvey, skill comes with time, especially with power tools!
HES A BEAST Perfect cuts everytime.
This it the most interesting project to follow. And hello from Finland.
I set my phone to blare the amber alert sound when this man posts a new video.
Nice job...
Thanks for taking us along!! Really Enjoy your videos!!
I spent alot of time in that upstairs as a kid. Sanding wood on a huge disk sander, catching skin sometimes lol. My uncle had a reloading machine there also where we reloaded shotgun shells. Great memories.
The very Best there is right there! Thanks Lou, I can't wait to the next episode!
Looking forward to following this build.
Amazing - And yes to White Oak!
It's the stuff!
Lou's exuberance is contagious!

I love watching that shipsaw work.
Thanks Don, I've been watching it for years
Awesome build quality

That's great to hear Oscar, keep up the building! We'll definitely give you a shout when we make it down that way
This is going to be an Epic build, looking forward to the v bottom skiff trial.
Stay tuned V-Bottom sea trials is our next episode!
Love it!
Thanks Ray!
Howdy Lou and Halsey! Another great one and as much as I love the V-bottom skiff (and still dream about fishing from it) I’m totally into Orca now.
Hi Mark! We just launched the V-Bottom skiff yesterday and got some amazing video, will share that shortly...love you for sticking with us and so happy to have you on board for ORCA!!
Git em.....loving it
This series is a gem. Back in the day WGBH would have picked it up and had a salty version of TOH
Orca immediately became the #1 wooden boat building project on RUclips. Even better than Tally Ho or Rediva. Sorry Leo and Garret. Lou is the MAN and Orcas the boat!!
ORCA, Tally Ho and Magic Carpet. I follow them all, every episode.
I’m curious Dwayne. How did you come to that conclusion?
I’m not sure the numbers support your comment.
Dwayne!
Looking good. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent work!!!
Thanks Louis for the New built just wish your produced would Make them longer so we Can learn more and see more of your Work being Done. Happy Holidays.
We'll do what we can!
Cant wait
Awesome sir...
Really - this is the best entertainment ever. What a genius lovely likeable man 😎❤️
Thank you Inge!
Good Job Lou, great educated video as always. looking forward as always to the next video as well. God bless bro.
Thanks Fon we're gonna keep 'em coming!
How old is that ship saw? A beautiful machine.
Thanks Cody, someday it'll be a 100 years old ;)
Hi Louis, love your skills and knowledge, a true Master Craftsman.
How long will this project take in your wise opinion please?
Many thanks 🙂
Great stuff!
Thanks!
Love your work!
Thank you!

my god brilliant
8:39 - spark! what's in that wood right there?
It was just a quick spark from the back of the blade touching the steel wheel behind it, no big deal nothing in the wood
That spanner is going to make it tougher than______!
Cool to see a new series. But this I miss the finalisation of the v bottom skiff?
You haven't missed anything, final V-Bottom skiff episode coming this week!
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos awesome! Can barely wait!
How big is “Orca” gonna be ???
She's going to be 40 feet long plus the bow pulpit, it's a big boat!

Any ideas as to how fast the blade is running to get a cut that nice?
Fast
Great teacher! One of my favourite channel. Thanks! Many of your advice is already in my boat @craftendra 😀
Great to hear!
You can tell that an electric plane is well used by the amount of tape on the power cord!
We need more tape over here ;)

Will check it out, thx
I wonder if Richard Dreyfus would be interested enough to get involved in this project?
That would be too cool for words!
First
Dear Lou, why not use glue along with the mechanical connections?
Makes it near impossible to replace a part when the inevitable rot sets in.
Also gluing oak is pointless. The wood expands and contracts so vividly, the glue couldn't keep up.
This is the keel we are talking about, gentlemen. The very backbone of the ship. You want it to be "one" strong piece. Mechanical connections loosen over time due to the flexing of the timbers. I would be more interested in hearing what Lou has to say.
@@brutusbarnabus8098 The keel isn't done yet, so hopefully this will get answered.
We won't glue it because it won't hold but we will bed it when connect the joints.
