Yeah...one of the most important aspects of any boat build is the building location. Ideally you should choose a site whose travel time is halfway between Harbor Freight and Home Depot. This will cut construction time by 40-60%.
Hey Sam, I'm building a nesting dinghy, it's my design but only 1/10th in cardboard! The trouble with nesters is they get tall when stacked, but your Stasha doesn't (good for a 28') though they do look a little strange in the water, maybe that's something for the eye to get used to. Looking forward to the finished result!
White oak is non-porous andmuch better than red but, not available at your 'local' lumber yards. Did you know that when Red oak is freshly cut, you can take a short length of it (maybe a foot long) and blow bubbles in water with it? True! Also, once kiln dried, it removes some of the wood's ability to reabsorb moisture. For bending, it is best to start with 'green' wood. And, you are correct, the direction of the grain was another part of the problem. Your solution was a very good one which should result in an even stronger final product.
I gave you an instant thumbs up just cause of the dual juggling. I used to be pretty good but never did pins or dual. i applaud your ambition!! @3:16 your Volkswagen has a flat/low tire When you buy tools and stuff from Harbor freight save the boxes and receipts so they can refund your money or replace them when they break
@@indydawson Completely forgiven! Hopefully you sensed there was some jest in my comment. As broad minded as I like to think of myself, I still make similar assumptions sometimes. I wield a darning needle as comfortably as a pull saw and have, hopefully, helped influence the kids to have similar breadth. Yet I still, occasionally, fall into the same kind of assumptions that you did. Mostly though, we just think our kids are really cool and are very proud of them.
I got that same heat gun to remove some paint from my front porch. I used it on high for about ten minutes and flame came out of the end and it then it died. I took it back and got another one but I kept that one on low and no problems. Keep an eye on that thing if you use it on high.
Metric is the norm in the world; it's the DECIMAL system that is the misfit and annoying to most. You look good Sam! Healthy and not so thin. Keep up the good work. Nice to see you again.
Nice, was just talking to Gemma yesterday about building a couple dinghies to boat around our lake , but that looks like a lot of work. Might try one just out out of plywood maybe :)
Hope you meant white oak and not red oak. Red oak will soak up water like a sponge and rot. Old Lou from something Boat Wright, sorry can’t remember the full name but he has a good YouTub channel and show you the difference between the two.
Did you buy the plans? Anybody know of free plans for a sailing pram or similar small sailboat? I'd like to build something with commonly sourced parts, no kit. Thanks for sharing Sam, look forward to Pt 2.
For future reference, a kettle might be the best tool to do those bends. Just keep pouring hot water over it. Might not do your electricity bills any favours though...
Causally building a boat in some down time!
Some man, Love it!
Great video. Thanks for the patience it took to get the many clips. Much appreciated.
Didnt you mean "Metric...kinda logical". Greetings from Europe.
my first reaction ! ha ha
You are correct. I wish we had switched over when everyone else did.
@@OKuusava I find fractions annoying, gimme bigger numbers to do addition, subtraction, a little division...
Where did you get the plans. Nice job. Really enjoying you videos
Yeah metric is easier!
But we are Americans!
We do it the hard way!
Ha ha lol

Home for the holidays...build a dinghy!! I'd be eating pumpkin pie and watching football. You are amazing!!
Great video, Sam. Almost as much fun to see on you tube as it was to see in person. Can't wait 'til you come back and do the other half.
White Oak stringers are the vikings hardwood preference...amazing Skill Set Provo!!
Sam, I used to have a juggling club meeting in Houston every week. We called it Passing Thru... as you and your friend .. passing clubs is fun

Excellent! Congratulations on the Cape Dory 28. I think you'll be a lot more comfortable.
You and your bro look like twins, minus the hair :) can't wait to see the new boat!
Great way to spend some down time! Cool project!
"Metric...kinda annoying" most American thing ever uttered. :D
Base 12 is better than metric base 10 for anyone who actually hand builds things
Welcome back to home, 'the ol north state'... mine too! To bad I'm working on my house in Costa Rica.

Not what i was expecting from this channel, but I support this!!

Your Dad has a pretty sweet workshop.
eh, hem, excuse me, Sam's MOM has a pretty sweet workshop. Signed, Ann (the mom)
thisann Ahem, My apologies Sam’s formidable Mom😘 My poor old privileged white guy’s brain assumed. An understandable and hopefully forgivable error.

I love how this channel has 20k Subscribers and no Profile pic 😂
Sad, should have way more.
If you put ammonia in the water to soak strips to be bent, they will be easily bent without breaking.
Its good to see you Sam!

"Metric...kinda annoying". Love it already and haven't watched it all yet!

You look good Sam! Healthy and not so thin. Keep up the good work. Nice to see you again.
Decimal? Like 2.75mm? Do you mean Imperial system?
Actually, the U.S is officially Metric. It’s just that no one wants to use it, but you do find certain manufacturers have adopted it.
Good stuff look forward to a second half.
You want White Oak for boat building. Red Oak will soak up water, swell and rot.
Nice, was just talking to Gemma yesterday about building a couple dinghies to boat around our lake , but that looks like a lot of work. Might try one just out out of plywood maybe :)
Sam used to sail the world. Now he just sits in his parents garage, eating flying fish and tapatio doritos.
Nice build, looking forward to
part 2.... 🚣♂️
nice move on laminating the ribs
Sam, have you finished the dingy, I would like to watch part 2😀
Great video!
You'd probably be interested in the kits Chesapeake Light Craft puts out as well
No metric..this .. is.. SPARTA

Are the plans free? Do you have a link? Would it work with a layer of fiber-glass over the cloth?

A easy steam box alternative can be some wet bath towels microwaved and wrapped around the ribs before bending.
Thanks for the tip ill give that a try for the next half.
No trip to sheetz?
Nice, man of many talents 👍👍. Two parter to keep us watching👎🏻😜
Thanks. I was bummed I didn’t get to finish it but if I sit on video footage too long it never gets posted.
@@samholmessailing Watching you deal with obstacles and failure is the best part of your vids.
I can’t find part two, did you finish the boat?
Not yet. Next time im back in NC
There is nothing you cannot do. Go Sam!

should use white oak !!!!!!!!!
Liberia, Myanmar and USA are not using the metric system................hmmmmmm
Sam do you hear the oceans calling?
Definitely. Just bought another boat. more to come...
Wait, what, a Cape Dory? Oh my, my father's last craft CD25 "Eagles Wings".... before he passed away.......miss you dad!
He should of put that wood on a planer to make it 10
Seems like far too much work for a flimsy boat. The structure should be plenty strong but I'd be worried about poking a hole in it constantly.
Clearly you needed to steam them all.
Hey Sam! Did you ever hear the one about the baby born with no eyelids. Yeah the doctor had to use some of the baby’s foreskin but he’s gonna 3:19
"Metric. kinda annoying" ... Words never said by anyone from 98.5 of nations on the planet.. 😁
