Building the TotalBoat work skiff - Painting on the wet edge (Episode 33)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 ноя 2024
- I have been waiting a while for this, today we are going to apply our first coat of topside paint, but first we need to give our primed surface a good sanding. I'm sanding the entire boat by hand because it gives me a better feel and allows me to keep a nice fair shape. We are also going to touch up the ends of our cover boards with a chisel and some sandpaper so they can act as chock for a line. We are going to paint our topsides with TotalBoat Wet Edge Cold Cure. It's pretty cool in the Open Door Boatshop this time of year and this paint can be used down to 45 degrees F so that makes it ideal for us in this case. For me, this is one of the most fun parts of building a boat because when I apply the paint, it really lets me see the shape of the boat and how fair the hull is. I couldn't be more excited, we are getting closer and closer to putting our skiff in the water, stay tuned for our final episodes and remember to join us at the Jamestown Distributors tent sale April 22, 2017 in Bristol, RI.

The tape idea for the waterline... you are a genius! I will be using this method for sure!
Week after week, as part of my career, I travel the world and I see all kids of things. But every week, without exception, the thing I look forward to and absolutely enjoy the very most, no exaggeration, are these wonderful video's!! Thanks and kudos to Jamestown Distributors, Hailey and the production crew and of course, my man Louis!!
This entire series is amazing. That bowline tying variations are outstanding!! Thank you. Lou is an outstanding Craftsman and Teacher.
The bob ross of boat building. So awesome.
lol when he started painting, I came down here to make this exact comment.
Me too!
No mistakes, only happy accidents!
Thanks to your comment...Bob Ross Season 21 Episode 1 from the "Bob Ross" channel was in my suggestions while watching this. Now I have to give Bob a thumbs down, so he won't haunt me.
Kept waiting for him to paint some happy little trees!
You're the very best thing in RUclips.
Have become surprisingly invested in your skiff. Hope she gets an own who who appreciates your art.
As you say, the more time spent in preparation to the surface, the better the finish will come out. And wow, she's looking fantastic! Can't wait for the final coat of paint.
For me this is so much fun to watch, knowing nothing about boats ( on Cape Cod of all places ). Lou's style of sharing his experience is so unpretentious you can't help but learn, a true master craftsman.
Oh how I would love to own a skiff Lou built...!!!! This boat is gorgeous!! Absolutely perfect.
Lou,
It's unreal how universally talented you are. Thanks for making these videos.
That is some masterful chisel-work.
Ahhh, my Friday video fix. Just grabbed a cold one and settled down to enjoy the beginning of the weekend. Just listening to Louis' voice brings a calm to me.
I will be very sad when the skiff is completed.
Love watching this man work . I grew up on a small Island on the Potomac River in southern Maryland and watching him takes me home and the many memories of watching my father and uncle working on their boats thanks.
The Boss Ross of boat builders. Total enjoyment !!!
So many amazing details in each small task that you do. Amazing. I hope that you have grandchildren that can watch these videos one day and say, "That's my grandfather!" Love the videos.
The way that you explain the theory and practice of these work skiffs is invaluable. Thanks..
If we would have had RUclips 30 years ago I would still be enjoying my do-it-yourself skiff. Too late for me to start now but, I really enjoy watching you and especially the "tricks of the trade" that you've invented. It sure would be great to have you as the neighbor guy!
The tape trick for the water line is absolutely brilliant. Masterfully simple.
I learn something new with every one of your videos. Thanks for letting us watch!
It amazes me each time I watch one of your videos, just how fast that time goes by. Checking to see how much time is left has become a habit and a sort of sad feeling comes over me when there isn't but a minute left. Also, the simple fact that many people like me who are watching can already do many of the things we are being shown. And yet, we watch, we learn, we smile when you smile, and as I do, some of us make notes. Learning from someone who enjoys teaching is for life long use. You just don't forget when a passion to learn meets a passion to teach. I personally can hear many people from my youth. "Do it right, do it once". You'd expect a lot, but you'd make a good boss.
On a bit of a funny note, you sound like George Carlin so much and even look a bit like him as well. It's a good thing, really.
So much fun to see you build the skiff. Wooden boats are just about the most beautiful things ever created by human beings. I have built a couple of wood kayaks and enjoyed doing so a whole lot. I don't need another kayak but I sure want to build one! Thank for sharing your project. :-)
One video, you got woodworking, painting, and knot tying. One of the best channels on RUclips by far!
Is there anything more relaxing than watching Lou round out those corners with that sharp chisel?
great tape work lou that skiff is coming together nice she will look great in the water the end product is always the best scene you can really see your hard work than.
Man, you are the Bob Ross of Boat Building! Could watch it for hours. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Nothing cuts as nicely as a REALLY sharp chisel.
(And, in the hands of an experienced master.)
Excellence! Looking great. The tape method is an instant classic!
My, oh my the skiff is a beauty. She's really starting to shine now!
True craftsmanship, by a true craftsman.
id love to shout this old bloke a beer . what a legend. if i met this guy when i was a kid id be a boat builder ....
It's never too late to start!
Awesome Job , love your teaching style and your chatter , thanks from South Africa !
A real pleasure watching you work
You're awesome Lou. Cannot get enough of this series and I know whatever you guys decide to do next will be just as good.
Looking really great! Wish my Uncle wad still around to teach what he knew and what you are showing everyone. Thank you.
That's the first time I have seen someone demonstrate a bowline in that way, its the exact way I tie one every time and the "slippery" bowline was great too. I was taught to use a highwayman's hitch for that purpose, but your explanation of it's use makes complete sense and I will keep in mind the next time I am tying off. Binge watching this whole series has been amazing especially the explanations of why each process and decision was made. I'm not sure well a boat like this would work here in QLD Australia as the sun tends to bake things much worse than up north there, but it shows anything can be achieved with time and patience. I grew up using an old "Boston whaler" style ketch sail boat that would seal up fine if you used it every month or so, but that also meant the paint would suffer in sun as well as the swelling and drying, though it was at least 25 years old at the time, now more like 45-50 years old. Looking forward to the new V bottom build starting now.
Amazing work.. Pleasure to watch. This will be an awesome boat. Have a great day Lou!
She sure is looking sharp, I look forward to the videos every week and can't wait to see her in the water, looks like you will be wrapping up just in time for my own boating season on Lake Erie
Beautiful job.That's just the way it is!
Thanks for sharing Lou always very interesting
Looking good Louis! Been following from the beginning, and even though I can't wait to see it in the water, I'm sad to see the series coming to an end soon. Please keep doing what you guys do, much appreciated. Greetings from Abu Dhabi!
Hi Love your vid's it's Charly your granddaughter hey I just wanted to let you know I love your videos and one more thing hi and I love you 💕😘❤️
Agreed great vids. I've learned so much about you making this boat. Thank you
Did that drip drive anyone else nuts!! Beautiful boat and awesome job though, all in all!! Love this series!
Looking good Lou! Boat looks good too.
This guy is a natural teacher. Does it so well he makes it look easy, but it's really not.... Great job !
The skiff looks great! I'm watching on a projector and the finish coat of your boat is bring out all the defects on my drywall :)
Cheers from PEI Canada, Bryan
I really enjoyed your work always wanted a wood built boat thanks for teaching Jonathan😀
Always a treat when I see a new episode ready to go! Looks superb! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Excellent video series, and very well presented! Appreciate the sharing of decades of experience! Priceless.
A lot of tips and advice in this video. Thank you
Once again - loved watching a Master at work.
Beautiful job!
I can't wait to come see this boat. Only a few weeks to go!
Paul Meyette I'm right there with ya! Really lookin forward to Apr 22
Thank you for answering my question about the top rails.
Love the unexpected knot lesson
Love this series
Same here. Lou rocks! :)
Great series. Thanks.
my god that chisel action
Another awesome video. Paint is looking great!
Stunning series this one, but then again, i expected no less. Learned a fair deal of wood tricks and neat ideas, even if i most likely won't build one. Can't wait to see the next project, and, this one float. :)
Thanks for posting. I was beginning to suffer from withdrawals. The skiff looks amazing.
I've watched every minute since you started, Lou. Love this project, so satisfying seeing a master at his craft. Nice belt by the way!
Thanks for great explanation. Working on my budget sailboat I bought. Going to use TotalBoat Products I think. Only paid $250 for a 22ft Helsen sailboat. Having fun with it. Using it as a learning experience.
well done great as usual, I see the experts are back..
Looking awesome, can't wait for the next video.
I love checking in from time to time to see the progress your making. Always interesting videos, sir. Keep it up!
Very nice my friend! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
She looks a lot better with paint. I like where your putting the water line.
consider me one of so many complimentary people. beautiful
Master craftsman!
Woo Hoo a real belt !!! and no rope.
I like the color of the primer. I say paint the boat that color. Very smart.
These videos are amazing. Thank you
Looks great Lou
as always very, very nice
Very nicely done!
Hello. You the best master ever!! Sir, if you will have a time, can you tell me please. After the coating wood boats do not will leak? And how many years can stay the coat. And the flat buttom like the skiff will be good for ocean fishing about 3 miles from shore? Thank you very much. You the best!.
how this guy doesnt have a million subs is crazy to me.....
That is coming out beautiful!
Nice, Good stuff keep it coming
Great job!! Been waiting all week for your videos and they top my week off just nicely !
thanks for sharing such beautifull work!!!!!
You are amazing with your Skills and knowledge . I just started watching your videos and I really enjoy them . But I was screaming at the screen when you used such a harsh sandpaper . And now that I see the primer as your painting it shows just how deep you went .
I've been painting since I was 10 and I'm 60 now so I would say I have a little experience . You can get a better finish by using 150 and that's even a little rough but as you said you like to really rough the surface up . But you will get the same results and get a Beautiful finish by following my suggestion . I have built a lot if things but never a boat . Being disabled I don't think I could do it now , but I just might try a scale model size . Maybe about 20 inches or so . That's how much you have motivated me . You have a Great way of teaching . And I really like how you explain things . And one thing that I really like is that you change the way you did things before a little , Alot of times people are afraid to change the way they do things . And by doing that you showed us that its not so straight forward and that you can put your personal touch on the projects we do . Looking forward to more of your projects .
looks great. Thank you.
lovely skiff
The reason the roller works for laying off or "tipping" is the nap is very short otherwise it would not work. The "cold cure" is actually in reference to the solvents used in the epoxy, the colder the weather the hotter the solvents in addition to the epoxy formulation. Tipping is a term used for brushes but seems to be used in your video for the roller method. I thoroughly enjoyed watching these videos. My expertise comes from a career in industrial coatings and my interest is in sailing craft.
Beautiful
Nice one I like it.
Love these videos! I check every day to see what's new. Can you help me find one of your past videos? I am looking for the one where you showed how to tune up the electric plane. That little gem of knowledge is hidden in one of your videos and I have not been able to find it again. Do you remember where it is? I'd appreciate the help.

Lou, beautiful job.
When will you be putting a sealer on the inside?
Are you concerned about the difference in the effect of humidity on the inside and the outside?
Here in Ky, we have to have a title for everything to register it for a motor, I bought a 14’, I had serial numbers, make, model, but had to toss it because the DMV wouldn’t get me a new title. My question is, how do you get a title on ‘your’ boats? After watching your videos, I really need to build one. Thanks, great videos.
I'm wondering what your trim colors will be!!
fantastic Thank you Lou
He is a master builder
Very nice. Got a question. I don't know how the question is going to sound to you guys, but here goes. If someone wanted their boat to be painted without pigmentation could it be done? Protected with coats of sometime like clear coat. Something about the natural wood look just looks good to me. Some color is good, don't get me wrong. Even my landscaping fixtures are sometimes natural finished.
Yes. Light (fiber) glass, like four once, will protect the wood and when wet out with epoxy the weave of the glass becomes invisible. For examples, look up how they finish strip built canoes and kayaks.
That's actually a great question. The paint on this boat looks really nice, but i could definitely see the appeal of something like this with a natural finish. Older Chris crafts come to mind as one example.
A long time ago, I made a very large darkroom sink out of 7/8" marine plywood and coated it with several coats a clear marine grade epoxy finish. It was a bit hazy but the woodgrain showed through nicely. Though often filled with water and some very corrosive photo chemicals, the sink remained tight for the ten years I used it. I had to sell it when I moved to a smaller darkroom but the photography school that bought it used it for 15 more years until they closed. So, yes. Clear marine finish holds up very well.
so awesome
I wondered how you were going to deal with that screw check at the front of the starboard cap rail.
Looking good! I hope your top side paint turns out better than my experience with the regular Total Boat Topside. Mine ended up with an orange peel finish. I applied as per instructions but not a very smooth finish. The primer came out ok and I did see a few reviews stating this could be a problem but went with it anyway. Anyways, best of luck. Always look forward to see your videos, learn a lot.
I look forward to each video and watch them as soon as they come out. As much as I am anxious to watch you finish the skiff I will be sorry to see this series come to an end. Will you be beginning another project when this one is done?
We will, stay tuned for more!
Personally, as a wood lover, I would ask what clear finish you would recommend. However, even though your epoxy paint hides the wood grain, it does look like a sharp boat.
