Building Evelyn: Hanging a strip plank, EP6
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- We've selected the lumber, re-sawn, planed, picked up the bevels, and sawn the progressive bevels on a table saw. Now, it's finally time to hang a plank.
Lou Sauzedde, with the help of Ken Boyle, goes through all the steps: removing a ribband, gluing the edge, fitting the plank and screwing it in place.

With everything going on around the world, it’s nice to feel closed in, watching craftsman working on such a beautiful project and at the same time forgetting everything outside those walls.

More ppl need 2 know Lou is here. Go to Leos channel and Tips from a... and remind ppl of this channel. Such a cool modern/traditional build
Another piece of history preserved forever. Well done Lou.
Thanks man. As always we need more of your videos. Hull looks beautiful already!
I have trimmed every chip brush since I saw you do this on the skiff series. The mental picture of pushing or moving the glue, versus “painting it” is excellent.
Oh, and yes, I shorten the bristles on my brush when I apply WEST system epoxy. I even shorten the flux brushes that I use for small applications. However, I cut them with scissors, because my chisels are not sharp. However, I mostly work with plywood and fiberglass. I am in awe of your woodworking/boat building skill, and it inspires me in my own project, currently a 1967 Cal 25.
"Your chisel's gotta be quite sharp, but that's never a problem for me." lmao nice tool flex, Lou
Lol thought the same thing

This was a mistake, dozed off with phone in my hand LMAO
Dear lord we need lou to be filiming for both channels. The more knowledge he can pass on in video forever the better
I never knew this type of content existed!!
Now I wanna be a billionaire and buy lots of boats just to keep this fine craft from dying
Lou, you're a genius.
Starts chant at a whisper, lou lou lou. Lou Lou Lou. LOu LOu LOu. LOU LOU LOU! I couldnt be happier that youtube gave me this. Ive been following lou for years and thought I lost him untill yesterday.
hey man, just saw you on creator on the rise and just have to say, incredible content!!
Can I just give a shout out to the filmmaking here? Really feeling the atmosphere in this shop. The lighting and photography on this series is really great and I can tell there is a lot of attention put to sound as well - really clear on the voice not to mention the swipes from that block plane!
Thanks for noticing. Tom Walsh our videographer is doing an amazing job under some pretty difficult conditions.
This man always has great film crew!
A no BS method, I love it
I have been using the brush trimming trick ever since you showed it on your other channel!
Great to see the progress on EVELYN, she is a beauty. We love seeing how the shop is organized and the attention to the smallest details. We'll have to come by and visit again soon and maybe we can run some gofer errands for EVELYN :)

I love how the kids on RUclips are building very traditional boats, and Lou here is showing off what a great mind is capable of designing. True creativity that comes only in the second half of a career.
Lou is the "bob ross" of wood working
I am always intrigued watching your channel. I have a question, as I understand wood boats leak and swell, having essentially two hulls is there reason to be concerned about the space between causing rot issues? I'm not a boat builder, sailor, or woodworker, so be easy on me.
Thank you for a beautifully informative video.
I'm building a much smaller vessel myself and I've learned some nice details from you.
Quick question, why use the polysulfide as well as the epoxy ?
Jim
I first used cut down paint brushes when I started to work in the 80's there we used them to remove dirt and grime from handheld two-way radio controls and bodys..it made a great job.... used them since for cleaing carb's, engine parts etc..but never worked with a glue that needed spread like that.............excellent video thanks for your time & effort making them for us
Ah, wonderful, a tips and tricks channel to help me... build a ship?!?!? That's dope!
You can save the brushs ,,, with white vinegar , jar of white vinegar
Desde Argentina. Impresionante. Un verdadero maestro.
fascinating process, looks wonderful...
Cotton to thicken the epoxy between the planks? It looked like colloidal silica in the video.
This is the the old man's method = no heavy lifting .
I bet they will have to cut that boat out of that shed, it is huge!!!!!!!
I helped build one of the finest schooners in Biloxi i think it is the finest made with juniper and cypress the rudder actually retracts up into the boat for just a few feet of water and it is 52 foot a little bigger then the other schooners we did it right in the guys yard about 20 miles off the coast
Hi Lou, wonderful craftsmanship as always, do you mind showing cutting and fastening the scarf? That would be super helpful. Thanks for all the tips. 👌
Oversight on our part not including cutting a scarf with a jig on the bandsaw. We'll show it in a future video. Thanks for subscribing.
very epic, my name is Evelyn, this is very cool!
All said and done, what would a boat like this sell for? Fabulous boat...
Am I just getting a funny angle. It looks like the topside is very close to the wall of the shop. How did you work up there?
Good observation. it's pretty close on the starboard side (about 2' 6"). But it's enough to get the job done.
Question: What are those screws you are using? What material they are made of, and how long will they last in salt water?
The shape of that hull is looking fantastic!
Great videos. Thank you.
Loving this build. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Fantastic!
Lou because the boat was drawn to the out side of the planking could you have deduct the planking thickness from the molds ?
I love the lines of this boat. Classic and beautiful. Great job, as always, Lou!
Lookin great lou
Looks like a jig saw to me Louis !
Such a treat to watch and listen to you working Lou.
This is the first time I'm seeing such a video. Pretty interesting video. Wish you only good luck!
Get yourself a Japanese Dozuki saw and ditch the saber/jig saw. Quite, fast, clean cut without power, noise or dust.
It depends on how old your elbow feels. I'm sure Lou gets enough of a workout with the hand plane.
Curious as to why you didn't do the edges of the plank like a strip canoe rather than gluing it?
If you mean a bull nose and cove edge, he addressed that in a previous vid... he didn't like how it looked after fairing the glued joint
Big big thumbs up loving these updates and thanks for taking the time to create them.
I see that you are glueing planks edges with epoxy. With humidity variation, planks will expend and contract. What will append? Normaly, cotton in between
It's a double planked boat. There will be very little movement.
Could you bead and cove the strips like a strip wood canoe ??
Yes. That's a good question. But it would be a bit of a material and time waste, here, since you are double planking and using epoxy. This is the most economical method in cost, time, material, and ergonomics that Lou has been able to work out in his 50 years of boat building.
Hi Lou, the plastic material UHMWPE may be suited to do the skin of the hull as it is water tight, resistant to abrasion, UV light and impact. It is a thermoplast at relatively low temeratures such that one might devise a system to melt-fuse the plastic planks into place without using screws or any metal device. The interior framework which needs to be as stiff as possible might be made of wood/aluminium rather than plastic. That way you'd end up with the hull skin and deck all of one piece, very strong...
My god. I have found youtube videos that fit my niche percectly and I'm not sure how to feel about this
Check out tips from a shipright channel, study his tips, maybe try to build a little work boat or rowing dory. Similar process, just much a much more manageable project.
_Love the channel and the work_
Beautiful work as usual Lou. Instead of a butt joint how about having done a half lap joint so that the planking fits into (or under) a lip on that front piece (don't know it's name)?
I have been playing with this idea too. It requires a bit thicker plank to work, because when you screw through that joint, the top layer needs to be thick enough to accept the sink of the screw head, and still hold the pieces in place.
what happens when a mass of laminated wood as in (double planking) gets wet ? will it twist and warp the hull ? I've never liked the idea of cotton or hemp caulking your method makes more sense.
Not many people in this world, including myself, will ever be as good at anything as Lou is at shipbuilding.
Lou, you've convinced me that slotted screws are the best for boat building, but as a contractor, I can state unequivocally, Torx is tops for pretty much everything else.
Beautiful shape!
Now that is cool!
I removed it, your building is fantastic
Love the channel and the work. Rookie question, does the 6:1 ratio mean the scarf length is 6 times the plank thickness?
Yes
Great system and fine looking craft. Are the brushes you use cleaned each time or are they disposable? Thanks.
I was wondering wich system he uses to clean the brush and the containers with glue in it.
The brushes are cheap and not worth the cleanup. That is the one thing with epoxy work - amazing stuff but it does create a bit of consumable waste. I went through a ton of disposable gloves as well which Lou doesn’t worry about heh.
I've watched the whole series and I don't think I've heard this - what are the frames made of? Are they painted white?
Plastic frames.
Plastic frames, OG Lou on the last project he worked on stated that plastic frames works better for some stuff, makes the boat lighter, are more flexible and less prone to splinter, shatter or being damaged by saltwater or bug infestation
UHMW polyethylene. Ultra High a molecular Weight Poly.
Why does he have a new channel?
I forget about the ability to use clamps to spread way to often though almost all of my bar clamps can.
Wait Lou has 2 channels I'm I'm heaven
Thank you Sir.
A Robertson head screw with the proper sized bit is superior to any other screw . The Robertson bit will not slip out of the screw and has proven itself repeatedly since it was invented in the 1930 's. IMHO. I would also use a slow speed or brace & bit for fastening bottom planks. 👍🇨🇦
AKA Square drive. I use them wherever I can.
Torx head are also much beter
Gary Rawlins Yes however not readily available for marine fastenings.
Great video as always. Is there any concern about water getting between the planking layers and staying there?
It depends on how well you do your job. Many boats use 2 layers of planking.
A
I was looking forward to seeing the progressive bevel right off the tablesaw or at least as you installed the plank but you have not shown a close up of it yet?
Good point Rob. We'll try to get some shots of the bevel off the table saw. The difficulty is that the bevels are very slight. In fact, the greatest bevel on a strip plank is 5 degrees. The progression from 5 degrees to 0 takes place over no less the 5'. So it's hard to see. We'll also try to get some inside and outside shots to show how tight the planks fit inside and out.
What wood did you use for the planking?
We're using Philippine mahogany for the strip planking and the second layer of carvel planking. It edge sets very well and its capacity to twist without fracturing is pretty amazing.
What kind of broadside can she withstand?
Not with my chisels!
Love this guy
Lou, I have to disagree ... slotted screws are the worse. Convince me otherwise? Also, how do you like that barrel grip jigsaw? I have the same brand and it jumps horribly. Did you do any mods to it? (And no, the blade is not upside down). Keep the vids coming!
White frames? Wood, or?
High Density Polyethylene
HDPE
How long will it take you to plank one layer of the hull? A year?
Thanks for the nice content!
No way. A boat like this can be strip planked with two craftsmen in 60 hours.
Love what you are building but you did not show the keel structure. Waiting with baited breath for more . Looking stout
*bated, not baited
Straight slot screws are from a bygone era are antique technology., Robertson screws are by far the best but Americans call them square recessed and reject them because they are a Canadian design.
Slotted screws make for a much easier task for future maintenance. Far better to be able to scrape foreign material from a slot, than to dig it out of a hole.
You make it look so easy!
👍
Good ole fashioned boring five-star quality - Hail Hail
The glue sticks to the plastic frames , it’s not hard but very slow an costly way of planking
You did the frames in nylon, why not nylon planking?
Noah's ship
Sorry, I didn’t mean to thumbs down your work. I didn’t mean to touch it
If you click again you can undo it.
I was saiying that cotton normaly take the planks moovement!
Me try to fix a leaky roof,
Them making a plank boat
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
L
Noah?
Please show more of the work and a little less verbiage. Thank you.
@Charles Turner Please refrain from making stupid comments. Thank you.
Please stop your verbiage. Thank you.
Turn off the sound if you don't like it. The rest of us love it.
Are you kidding? This man is a national treasure to old school boat building
Is this why this video got relatively many thumbs down?
