Lovely work. I love these boats and your work bringing one alive
Wow. Gorgeous result. The lines of your hull truly are amazing.
BEST episode yet. thanks for the intro on scraping options. i personally use a few chunks of 3/8 plate glass from a bathroom vanity to level my planes... i also painstakingly cut and rounded one (they're tempered) to fit a belt sander belt so i have a very nearly perfectly flat surface there as a "sanding block". one of the fresh new options is the 320 for the palm sander, but honestly, there is no sandpaper, for wood, that compares with an edge finish. i sanded my grandfather's urn (walnut) to 2000 and then went back with the card scraper because it just wasn't good enough. i really hope your new owner guy snapped up this footage as fast as i did because !!!!!!!!! that is the biggest violin i've ever seen! he's not just getting the sailboat. he's getting the footage of the entire experience and process, and so do we. i can't wait to see the mast stepped. are you going hollow octagonal or solid laminated? love you and keep throwing in those tool tips so we can all learn something! (i guess at the end if she's heavy you might have to go aluminum)
Hi Willis. Thanks for your compliments. The mast is aluminum. It is repurposed from a sailing dinghy. This was planned from the start. The rigging is the one area that I will not be doing myself but I will be creating blocking and such to accommodate the rigging elements.
That brushing montage closing track was a spot on selection. Perfect. The instagram previews really only tease your videos - they don’t spoil a thing.
Good to hear. Thanks. I figure there is a sweet spot for me somewhere in between Tips from a Shipwright and Laura Kampf. I just need to figure out how to craft it.
Wow this boat is looking great. That rear 3 quarter of that boat is the sexiest angle of the boat for me. It feels like someone has draped the boat with wood grains. Phenomenal work.
Thanks.
a real beauty, you must be proud!
Looking great!
Wow. Fantastic.
Bloody gorgeous mate! 🇨🇦
Gorgeous and great job.
👍👍👏👏👏
As usual very cool video, lucky person going to sail one of this.
Who needs a gym membership?? That is a solid workout fairing the hull out. And of course the result with the applied epoxy is just stunning, well done mate. I use a brush to line out the air bubbles so interesting to see you using a piece of roller. Do you find there's a difference in the finish doing it that way?
And have you heard of BoteCote? That's what I'm using here.
I was thinking a foam brush would be a better choice. I just don’t keep them on hand. Funnily enough, I didn’t even consider using a bristle brush. I suppose the miser in me would argue that the roller sections are the cheapest option.
Wow looking fantastic
Just want to add you should be proud it looks amazing
Beautiful
Don't see how it could be any better than that.
*Awesome* ⛵
Sorry I should have watch further in the series, before I asked, about the skeg thing. That would have been impossible to make out of one piece. I'm going to do all of study on lofting before I would ever consider making one of these boats. I love your series. Bill
Not a worry.
And here I thought it was going to be futtocks🥴
I really liked the music choice in the scraping montage. Keep up the great work.
I must have spent an hour trying to find the right tune for that sequence. It was tough finding the right mood combined with the right tempo to match the movement.
All your hard work has paid off, she's a beauty. I understand what you're saying about West System, but check out Smith's Penetrating Epoxy for a first coat on any wood, especially wood that will be finished with varnish.
West System actually did comparison tests with a bunch of penetrating epoxies and they found that those tested didn’t offer any advantage. I have used some in the past myself and I can’t stand the high VOC levels that seem to be common with them.
Hi, I’ve watched your channel for over a year now, and it’s good to see your channel growing , and getting the views your work deserves
Yup. It’s nice to finally feel a little up-tick. It’s been a bit of a discouraging grind at times.

@@Nomadboatbuilding its the same for me, i feel like ive just turned a corner on youtube after two years of the grind, onwards and uploads for us both hopefully
@@Johnbuildsiconic if we really want to hit it, we should just be streaming us playing minecraft. We would each have half a million subs from twelve year olds. The irony is, if minecraft or RUclips had been around when we were twelve, we wouldn’t be building this stuff now.
I love that spline you put in fore and aft. It reminds me of a fish spine. Are you sure you want to paint area below the waterline. More ppl. are going to see the boat out of the water than in. It so beautiful. Have you thought of a way to make the skeg out of wood to match? And lastly. Do you know when the boat christening or the boats first race? Maybe travel restrictions we be lifted by then?
Paint below the waterline is a practical decision. That area is exposed to weather during storage so varnish would only demand a lot more maintenance plus anytime the boat is in use, where people are around to see it, the cover will be off. Lastly, a little paint can make the varnished part even more impressive. No date on launching for now. Use of these boats at the local marina is currently suspended.
A beauty!!
Mark that looks Freakin Awesome!
Thanks Ray.
Nice!
Damn that looks good! A total master class in the tradition while using modern technology. So while it’s not new it’s super new. You need apprentices to soak up your skills.
If only I had more elbow room in the shop I would.
@@Nomadboatbuilding I’m in a similar position with my architecture practice. Far too much work but not enough room to bring someone on. I wonder how to grow but not dilute the hands on joy. Etc Growing pains. Your skills though are worth passing along.
@@chrispomfret8592 I agree and that's exactly what I'm trying to do here.
@Nomad Boatbuilding great tip on the roller split up. Mark I seem to have lost it but was is your boat soup recipe? Thanks man
I'll post that on Patreon for you in a couple days. Good subject for an article.
I've just spent 2 hours using my Stanley 80 cabinet scraper! What a coincidence. In fact, I was contemplating writing a piece on it for the woodworking forum I belong to. It is such a brilliant tool. I'm making a large oak bookcase, and there really is no better way to prepare oak for a finish than with a cabinet scraper. I try to work with hand tools only, but even in really difficult timber where you might have to resort to a belt sander to avoid tearout you can produce a gorgeous glossy finish with a cabinet scraper afterwards. Yours looks as though it has a slightly thicker blade (plate) than mine. If you get the chance (and can be bothered), could you put some callipers on it and tell me how thick it is?
Mine was sharpened to about 30 degrees when I bought it, so I am gradually working down towards 45 degrees......but it works perfectly well at the lower angle (just doesn't hold an edge as long as it should). It doesn't need a burr.
Anyway, love the boat. Tell your girls they owe me some chocolate...a deal's a deal.
My iron is 0.04. If you are not specifically putting a burr on there then you probably are using one that is the by-product of sharpening. You are probably working at a disadvantage. Try rolling a burr and try it against your current set up. I'll wager you’ll be pleased.
@@Nomadboatbuilding 0.04" = 1.01mm. My plate is 0.7mm, so a good deal thinner than yours. Thanks for that. Mine is a Stanley original blade.
I've tried it with a burr (I've been using the tool for a couple of years now) and found no advantage. I definitely don't leave a burr inadvertently after sharpening. I always work the back, and I strop all my edge tools every time I sharpen, You can scrape nicely with a sharp chisel without a burr (I've no idea why it works!), so it's the same principle.
@@MikeAG333 well there is still friction between two surfaces of un-equal density. The harder one wins every time.
Wow, its almost a sin to cover over her up to the waterline , there is such fiery depth to the wood. The planking all blends superbly, masterfully done and presented. On scrapers have you seen Lou's modified "Red Devil" paint scraper?
I hear what you are saying but there are a number of good reasons to paint below the waterline. I don't recall if I have seen Lou's modification but you'll see me do what I expect is the same thing in a later episode.
@@Nomadboatbuilding I'm now there - Episode 27 :)
Don’t you have work to do?! :)
@@NomadboatbuildingMy excuse is Learning makes us work more efficiently :)
Just stunningly nice look to that wood... your closing music on this video is by whom???
Coincidentally the tune is called "Woodworking" by Daniel Fridell.
Did you wipe down with water to raise the grain before the last sanding? Thanks so much for the content. Beautiful build with copious information and tips.
Yes, that’s right. It’s something I always do as part of any sanding job.
Such a fine job with a beautiful reward. I still can't help wanting a thin clear glass layer -maybe a consideration after you check the hull weight. I am wondering, will do any checks for spring-back after you pull off the mold and cut for the keel?
I have a couple suggestions for making better mahogany wood porn (maybe for the final finish vid).
-get some halogen lights -the spectrum is the best by far
-go slower in some shots
-do some shots where the camera is fixed on a curvy figured section and the lights sweep across to show the amazing depth of highlights.
Your mood music selection was perfect!
I'll be using measured cross spalls at the sheer-line to maintain the shape and overcome spring-back until the deck structure is in. It’s a pretty stable structure and there is a fair bit of material around the keel opening to keep it stable as well. Notes taken regarding the video production but we're still not glassing. I can understand your thoughts on that though.
@@Nomadboatbuilding Excellent! I should also confess that I spent years restoring a cold molded mahogany Jet, always telling myself that I could never get that quality of wood today -but you have popped my bubble.
BTW if some of your viewers have a great sense of humor you could slip in a short scene where the camera goes back and forth briefly -just to make them spit whatever they are drinking through their nose and blush.
Greta job! Love the music/slo mo shots of the curves..! Ohhhh yeahhhhh...
There's an old Chris Craft film showing their men using that Stanley #80 scraper to fair the hulls of the mahogany speed boats.
Cool. I'll have to look for that. The guy I apprenticed under for a bit did his apprenticeship with Chris Craft.
@@Nomadboatbuilding In the film the scraper was held from one handle and swept in a short arc. I'll also try to find it and forward it to you.
Beautiful ! Sir, is this a cateraman ?
No, it’s a monohull keelboat.
I have an old cabinet scraper, but It’s not sharpened at 45 degrees.. does anyone else use one at different angle?
I'm sure they do. There aren’t any hard and fast rules about it that I know of. If you can get a functional burr onto the edge and it works with the geometry of the tool then who cares what angle it is. I can’t say that I have ever experimented with it.
And did you use a penetrating epoxy or thin down the 105 for your first coat? Thanks again.
No, I use the 207 hardener which has a lower viscosity and longer open time. It penetrates just fine. West system did a bunch of comparison tests on various penetrating epoxies and found no advantage to using them. They also tend to be heavy on the solvents which I try to avoid as well.
@@Nomadboatbuilding Thank you for both replies. I'm about to start outer finishing work on a lapstrake wherry.
@@billlambert2092 that’s my next project. Who’s lines?
@@Nomadboatbuilding Ducktrap Wherry by Walter Simmons. I'm no expert, but it is a great looking craft. I'm building the 16' version.
@@billlambert2092 I've got the lines for that one on my board right now. Designing my own though.
You have to wonder what is wrong in the head of the person who gave a thumb down to this! Fantastic job more than worth all the blue air.....
Thanks man. I often wish that thumbs down would require a written explanation. I'm even surprised that those who do that even bother tapping the button. Don’t like the show? Fine. Leave quietly.
It’s shame you have to paint below the water Mark. This boat is gorgeous.
Not to worry. There will be no shortage of varnished wood on this. Painting below the waterline is most practical and the colour you choose can make the bright woodwork look even better.
😮❤️
First great job
What grade are we in ? Besides there is a comment before yours
She's definitely going to turn heads
Hmmm. All that work, and then the guy is just going to put in water.
Where is your mask? Oh, you have it on later. Good.
The only reason I ever don’t have a mask on is because of some required interaction with the camera.
@@Nomadboatbuilding Of course, should have thought of that.
I was gob smacked to learn that you, prodigy of craftsmanship that you are, lived only a few miles away from me.
And I am gob smacked that you took the time to reply to me. Thank you.
I endeavour to respond to all the comments in some fashion or another. It’s the least I can do for folks taking the time to interact. If you are in the hood, give me a heads up and drop by for a visit sometime.
@@Nomadboatbuilding That is extremely gracious of you. And I would LOVE to drop by for a visit. Almost like getting to visit a temple.
This morning I am building a new support for the Black Skimmer's mizzen mast. My own design!
