I like that saying. I think it would have been a mistake to keep this one under my hat too. Hopefully it helps prevent someone else from making the same or at least fixing it if they do.
I admire the craftmanship in your work. I'm just a ten foot boat builder as it only has to look good from that distance. I tend to be hard on boats so its function over form.
Well nothing wrong with that. Still, pleasing form also has a function. The traditional west coast work boats get a hell of a beating yet there was always an emphasis on making them look good even when they were simple. A fair curve can pull a lot of aesthetic weight.
Fantastic series. Thanks for this. On the subject of mistakes, my brother is a shipwright. He says, over the course of a 3 year apprenticeship, he spent about 3 months learning how to make boats. The rest of the time was learning how to fix mistakes lol.
We all make mistakes, I don't care who you are, Its all part of life and it how we learn to do things better. It's how we evolve into becoming good in our professions. And it take a man to own up to them and like you said we do get over it. lol
These are a great series of videos, thanks I have learned much and they are a pleasure to watch. Just a comment; at 29:40, the knife would leave a better score and cut if it were drawn the other way, with the grain. The same direction in which the wood would be dressed with a hand plane.
You are a very schooled craftsman and a fine teacher. I found your channel about two weeks ago and am delighted with the amount of information that you provide. I am a clinker addict; I have books on lapstrake boatbuilding by Ian Smith, Walter J. Simmons, John Leather, Iain Oughtred, and Thomas Hill, but nothing compares to seeing one build and the comment from a master like you. Thanks for your videos. @@Nomadboatbuilding
I thought that was the reason. Your videos attest to your very excellent skills with tools and you explain very well what and why you use methods and techniques. Thanks for the great videos. I am a clinker addict and can't get enough! Dave@@Nomadboatbuilding
That was a great fix on the transom and it should be even stronger with the epoxy. Can you tell us about the beautiful lift model on the bench at 0.35 in the video ?
That was a design I did for a friend up in Alaska who wanted a small 10' skin on frame tender for his beach seining business. He does small scale salmon and halibut fishing from a 24' boat. I should put those drawings up on my website store.
Great video and good example to others owning the mistake. I like the saying “A mistake is a mistake, weather you pay for it or not”.

I'm so glad that you finally got back to that lovely little dory again.
Nice recovery. Could also be a nice way to incorporate a fancy species of wood.
Indeed it would be a good way to add some bling.
Watching and learning.
Thank you for this series.
Great job !
Thanks

beutiful work, He who never made a mistake never made anything
Thanks Stuart. Well said.

I believe that. If it isn't fixing your own mistakes it sure is fixing other peoples.

Kind words. Thank you.
Nice workshop

The chosen knife direction has to do with my right handedness and I prefer to place the straight edge on the keeper side of the part.

@@DAVIDMILLER-nc9vo optimal operations are almost always contextual. Sometimes you just have to go against the grain as they say.
If ya had the room, you could build a gimbal setup to flip the hull when help is unavailable.
I kind of do in the form of some pulleys fastened to the ceiling but it's a whole lot faster when I have help.
@@Nomadboatbuilding amen to that.

You made a mistake is wrong thinking , your design needed adjustment thats all .!
Well put.
If you get sick from not wearing a mask among your friends, who's going to finish your boat?
This was shot well before the COVID epidemic.
my last name is bouchie
Some chance you’re related to the customer who commissioned this boat then.
