@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos Absolutely. My grandpa taught me that... Actually, you remind me a lot of him. Watching these videos takes me back to being that bright-eyed kid in the workshop again.

It is a very organic way of shaping a boat. Very artistic way of carving the pieces to find the piece you need inside the rough lumber. Lou is an artist and a shipwright, not a traditionalist carpenter, at least with this boat. This V-bottom skiff will be a boat, yes, but it will be a work of art and passion first, and a boat second.
I really appreciate your comment Thomas!! With art you can make changes as you go, I always like to keep thinking about the construction details and sometimes they can best be figured and worked our while working.
I don't build boats, but I do work with wood and metal. I love the techniques that you show on how to measure, line up, cut, etc, to keep the work accurate. Awesome craftsman! thanks
2 people disliked this so far. What’s there to not like about it?? Excellent craftsmanship! I’d love to be able to own such a well thought out and built boat.
Lou, I like the way you work. You can work like you do because you know the materials and the fastening methods and of course the skills are there. It's a pleasure to watch. Glenn
This is so true, and the Disstons made in Philadelphia apparently were the best. This is of course back in the days when a chippy would take his saws home with him and sharpen it indoors after dinner, my mates dad used to clamp his saw chops to the kitchen table, because electric light in the kitchen was better than paraffin lamps in the shed !
Lou, I am starting a build this spring. Pretty much same hull design but larger. I was going to do pre-assembled frames as I did my last build but I'm rethinking it now. I like this process better with the upright braces and all. A lot stronger hull in the end. Thank you!
@@COPPER71 Bots that down vote videos. I don't know if they exist, but it would make sense if they did, as there often are thumb downs only moments after a new video has been uploaded. So, Russian hatebots might be a thing. Or not. ^_^
Must be great to have all that time to do things in the old way. However for those who don't mind using power tools something that comes to mind at 6 minutes into the video is to take two pieces of scrap board (plywood, pieces of 2x6 etc and either nail them or clamp them (no left over tiny holes in the part of the wood not being cut) to each side of the board level and plumb with the centerline of the boat. Then set the depth on a circular saw or far better (if you have one) a router then you can quickly cut the notch to accept the keelson. With the circular saw set to the correct depth, you would make a series of cuts as shown in the video and finish with a chisel etc. With a router you would simply set the depth of the bit and rout away.
Lou mentioned in a previous video that there would be access for bilge pumps etc...I think those folks up in the cold water areas like to store beverages in a dry bilge.
Lou, a question about the planing direction. It looks to me that planing downhill instead of the against the end grain would produce a smoother job. But I don't build boats.
If you're talking about the scarf surface he was working on at the heel of the stem? That's a shallow enough slope, plus the fact it's laminated out of a bunch of layers, instead of one solid timber... and MAINLY because it's a power-plane cutter head, where the actual cutting angle of the blades approaching the wood is almost perpendicular to the grain structure anyway (same as a stationary thickness-planer: rotating cutter-head is really a completely different form of cutting action than the usual fixed-45-degree hand-plane blade -- more analogous to the perpendicular set of a scraper-plane blade)... These factors make the small difference of uphill/downhill on that scarf, to be inconsequential. When running this sort of power-plane in this sort of scenario, your bodily ergonomics/control, as well as just seeing what you're doing from the most convenient angle, are very much the more important consideration than grain slope. The OTHER thing to consider: Especially if using epoxy for the glue joint (I don't remember if he said that -- there's actually a chemical reason why White Oak and Epoxy are often not the best combination)... But you in fact don't really want a very "polished" sort of exquisitely smooth & perfectly flat joining surfaces in a glued scarf joint anyway. Depending on the species of wood in question, best practice with epoxy sometimes even calls for deliberately scuffing the faces lightly with a file/rasp or coarse sandpaper after the fit of the joint is perfected, because the epoxy needs some texture to "grip" or "bite", in order to make a properly strong bond with the wood surface. So some theoretical small-scale roughness of the grain lifted from the "wrong direction" here, would kinda actually help the joint be stronger in that sense.
The level bubble in the square works on the horizontal, not on the vertical. That would be my guess. I believe he is using the level bubble in one direction and his eye in the other to set square.
Being naturally lazy myself, I might figure a way to attach an outrigger board to the side of your electrc planer to act as a guide when cutting the keel bevel. It would ride along the bottom edge of the planking and let it develop the the keel bevel angle automatically.....but what do I know, I've never built a boat.
hi lou i just wondering if you have a moment you might take a look at sailing yaba on youtube. they are currently rebuilding keel on a 60' plus foot wood sailing ship in brazil, old world ways just thought you might like to look at their craftsmanship. greg in jefferson city mo.

I am not a boatbuilder and do not sail. But as a hobbyist woodworker, I learn something new every episode.
Yet again it’s a pleasure to see a craftsman at work. Thank you for sharing and documenting your knowledge Uncle Lou.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video diversion from the stress of the week.

Thank you Lou for making my Friday night. Have a great weekend.
White oak is my absolute favorite wood, I’ve got a couple logs and planks under the shelter now. They will soon be transformed into boat parts.
You just love hearing yourself rambling on and on !
Looking forward to seeing how you create the rabbet, using this method. Loving this freer, more organic method of creating a boat.
These videos are for you!
When I worked on building sites in the UK all the chippies aspired to a Disston saw made in the USA, looks like you have a few.
This is so true, and the Disstons made in Philadelphia apparently were the best. This is of course back in the days when a chippy would take his saws home with him and sharpen it indoors after dinner, my mates dad used to clamp his saw chops to the kitchen table, because electric light in the kitchen was better than paraffin lamps in the shed !
Thank you for enhancing my calm.
You guys have the same effect on me
Looking good Lou! Seeing that keelson in place makes me see the beauty of the V-Bottom Skiff which I hadn't seen before.
Wow Louis. You do fabulous work 👍👍👍👍👍

I’m enjoying the build, Lou, but I can’t help wondering what’s going to happen if you want to replace one of the sole boards one day.
6:38 THE THUMB!!!
Would there be a way to use traditional methods without using fiberglass, using this design or similar?
How many videos has that yellow plane been in?
I take my ryobi planer to bed with me every night...
Sometimes I feel sad in the end of video, that it's so short... Looking forward to see next one!

Hi Louis, at 4.40, why don't you put the square vertical? Would you not achieve the same result?
The level bubble in the square works on the horizontal, not on the vertical. That would be my guess. I believe he is using the level bubble in one direction and his eye in the other to set square.

Go for it!
So damned interesting.
I'm afraid to build a boat like that. How do I access the bottom in case of a rupture of some kind?
Just use flex seal
@@bill7778 how do I reach the bottom through the floor?
@@clevelandmortician3887 I guess you are going to get wet when you swim under the boat ,but the good news is that flex seal works under water.
Um typically it can vary depending where you rupture is once you fiberglass it everything is going to be rock solid
It's a wood boat, cut a hole in the sole where you need access. Easy access to the bilge is not a new problem.

Wish I could hoover up all that lovely oak sawdust every evening for smoking fish and bacon.
@Jacinto Gonzalez It’d be a long row for sawdust for me.
Some kinds of work just call for "Fit it as you go."
