Building Evelyn: Fairing - Take your pick of planes, EP10
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 ноя 2020
- Fairing the strip planking is a lot of work, but somebody has to do it. There's probably no one better at it than Lou Sauzedde. Find out how he uses antique block (coffin) planes, transitional planes and even a power plane to fair even the toughest sections of Evelyn.
You'll also hear his thoughts on avoiding indigestion and breathing. If you watch the whole video, you'll find out what he keeps in the pockets of that vest he's wearing.

A glass of wine with you sir, you are a national treasure.
A man can develop muscle into his 90's. You go Lou! Don't stop.
I’m sure you get tired of making videos like this, but there’s a whole bunch of us that hope you never stop.
I'll definitely second that.
Third!
Aye!
Once Lou starts something it's nearly impossible to stop him. We're on it.
I agree, this is freaking amazing
Now there is a woodworker. Nice to watch and nice to know these skills exist.
Holy shit that's some hard work. Five minutes with a bench plane and I'm done. My back hurts, I'm out of breath and my arms are sore. Absolute respect for this badass old goat
I’ve been hooked watching young guys building boats the old way,but to get to watch an older guy using all of the latest techniques and materials is next level,love your work and experience,thank very you
I have been watching him for years he is the best on RUclips for Wooden Boat building PERIOD!!!!!!
The work is fantastic but the way Lou thinks is the exceptional part. Experience and beautiful mind combined. Thank you for sharing this with us!
She is BEAUTIFUL. My dad was a woodcarver. Furniture he would build
with perfection. Like you. When he made the window frames. The guys came back. And stated it looked PURE GLASS the frame. AMAZING.
My parents are from Germany.
They named me Evelyn. You do not hear that name now a days.
I am glad I HEAR music in my ears from the wood. NIC. I like you are EXPLAINING to us. THANK YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU. CHOW from MICHIGAN.
I understand what you've said completely. My grandfather was a carpenter who emigrated to the US from Sweden with just a trunk full of hand tools. His work was very much done in the same manner as this and was also perfection. I hear the music as well 😉
I know that "sweet spot" feeling of swiping with a razor sharp, well adjusted plane. The crazy thing is that as I watch Lou work, hearing the sound and seeing the glue disappear, I feel it in my hands and forearms. Such a wonderfully bizarre sensory experience. Thank you for bringing this to all of us! Best, @BranchAndFoundry
Watching this I said to my wife, what a rewarding occupation Lou has. To see something as beautiful as this schooner taking shape under one's hands is utterly priceless.
Existential. A man who loves his work and has - and gives - the gift of explaining it.

Lou you are an inspiration and an example to the next generation of what it means to be a master craftsman. Keep it coming!
I admire your physical condition to be able to do this kind of work, Lou. Thanks for sharing.
The pure poetry of thought, tools and materials.
To be honest, my shoulders are burning at the thought of all of that overhead planing. She sure is looking grand as the glue disappears and the lines clear into fair curves. Thanks for another great lesson, Lou. You are a great teacher and purveyor of the craft.
The shape of the hull is starting to show Lou, and it is looking beautiful!
This is such a positive channel, we love the effort that you put into educating us and bringing you into your world. It's absolutely amazing- thank you sir.
I make custom furniture and most of what I do involves the use of power tools of one sort or another. My favorite thing is the hand work. I love the interaction with the wood. It's almost magical. Hand sanding for the perfect finish is the most enjoyable. Your an inspiration my friend.
I see an exact copy of this post about a couple doz replies apart but with a different time stamp - where did that come from? Well I've been sitting back in my comfy chair watching for 30 minutes with all my muscles working along with ya. Pretty tired right now myself and think I could use a rest also. Ya say its enjoyable but I think addictive is more what it is. I was wondering too about remembering to breathe but no mention about stress on stomach muscles while leaning back and reaching forwards while planning. I can see hear and feel the results of the effort being made 1500-2000 miles away. And you say you're going to plank over it? Some unbelievable craftsmanship going on there. Have been enjoying and learning thru several years of boat builds and always look forward to seeing the next. Thanks so much for including us in.
It's a few years now since I did that job, but you took me right back. I got that old feeling in my arms and abs just by watching. People pay good money for that kind of workout now!
Doubled the views in 5 minutes, block planing a boat...all you hear is the scraping of the block plane for minutes on end and I feel the tension in my upper body as I vicariously push it along, then there is the t.l.c. of careful of your esophagus, yep I am right there with you Lou
Great video again. I learn every time. Plane in the right direction. Probably why my boat went from a 32 footer to a 28.
When Lou says “Believe me.” I believe him. I was really hoping that you weren’t planning to hand plane that hull. You said that it would take months. Yes, many months. I have great admiration and profound respect for the old timer mentality and tenacity. Nice long video. Loved every second of it.
Double Lou this week, and with some ASMR before the electric plane! What a deligth. Cheers from southern Brasil.
Awesome craftsmanship! Thanks Lou!
Genius - does not need a catalogue of correctness - it invents it's own. In all my years of engineering my greatest pleasure was to learn something new and teach something old.
A wonderful statement that I aspire to
I am always very much in awe of Lou, but this is insane. Not in several lifetimes would I have this level of skill and understanding and marriage of the wood, the task, and the tools for hand-planing that hull.
On another note: the fact that Lou doesn't use a respirator is, I believe, due to his practice of having "no sanding gear." I'm sure he has some stuff but I spent a couple of decades, as an amateur, working in my shop without a mask, since I grew up in a period when no one ever wore any safety gear. I eventually developed a chronic cough that will never go away. I am now more in Lou's school and rarely use sanders.
Louis you are simply the best. What you create from start to finish is great to watch. Thank you.
I love the sound that the plane makes and it sounds just as you said it would when the orientation of the plane meets the challenge of the wood. You’re quite right about breathing while doing this work - hold your breath and you’re done in less than a minute. Oh, and they’re sharp planes too!
This boat is going to look so good with varnish on it. It'll be another masterpiece! Thanks Lou
Something of beauty in those lines and contours . Such skills are admirable.
What a beautiful way of building boats. Have fun and patience with all the beautiful work.
That first plane we call a coffin plane in my neck of RI... Looks great Lou
Love Lou! Lou always looks like he is dressed like a rockstar.
maaan that boat is looking beautiful Your a craftsman Lou. My father was finishing carpenter and he build boats in nfld for many many years and so did my two older brothers and now my son is a carpenter who has his own company. I was a welder fitter for many years until I injuryed myself and had to retire. I miss building a project and then stepping back and admiring what I built there is nothing like it. You feel so confident and it gives a man such satisfaction that I miss dearly.
For me there is something spiritual about this and I watch with silence in my heart and mind in reverence... This is a life time of experience, this is a labour of profound meaning, perhaps love or perhaps spiritual home like a tenon being held by it's perfect mortise..
I wonder if you have seen a man named Paul Sellers? He also talks about sensitivity when using the plane, I think you could easily be brothers :)
Love you Lou! This is going to be one beautiful boat. I am confused about how you plan to "carvel" over this but I'll keep watching and learning. Seems like cold mold over this would be pretty effective.
With all the Elbow Grease I'm watching that guy exude? That's a dyin' Art Form right there...
The wisdom of experience. "It all ends up here in my pockets."
Love Lou!!! This makes my day...
I love this man
Enjoyed your video once again.
I love this guy
Great planning episode looks good !
You do beautiful work, thanks for sharing with us.
I'm always thinking about how hard people worked back in the day,from farmers to loggers, builders and just about every other trade. People must have rugged back before power tools.
Beautiful! I love it. I hope one day to try it myself.
Hah! Our woodchip pockets is the crease in our couch. Could probably build another boat with the amount of sawdust I vacuum out of that crease from time to time.
Thank you ... very enjoyable watch
Thanks for another educational and entertaining edition of Lou is in the Boathouse. you really make it look easy but I know when you use that cordless transitional plane and lift it up off the wood and swing it back down and cut, and back and forth, and don't gouge the wood as you swing into it, there is a real technique to that. Fudder. I am going to use that word tomorrow.
Nice video.
Thanks for the video.. I subscribed.
Been following your project from the beginning. I love it. When will Episode 10 come along?
well done sir
excellent job that looked like hard work
“It doesn’t even bother my ears...” that’s because you’re already deaf Lou! 😆
The spirit and wisdom of your mind translated
in divinely craftsmanship Body and mind are one. What a job.
W’ve to realize ships made in seventh century were constructed without any plan or drawing.
Just on the eye and experience. Sharp tools and strong hands..
Beautiful
😲 true labor of 💞 And 'she' sure shows it!
👍
Autobody guy here. You need radius in the length not in the short that a hand plane provides. How about getting a spiral cutter head off a thickness planer for a long and straight radius. Put handles on it replace cutters as needed.
Very nice video thanks for the education. :o)
We call the convex wooden planes scrub planes. In a cabinet shop usually use them on rough cut material to exposed the figure and wee what you’re dealing with before jointing.
My shoulder are also burning and I am getting sweaty...
Big studio. You built indoor.
Lou you are s legend mate
“This is a man enjoying his work.”
No need to say anything else.
I don't know how much you make but it's not enough!
Cordless! Classic Lou!
Super
Just discovered your new site, Lou, looking good.
I retired from that shit ~25 years ago. Overhead fairing was my least favorite thing, best done by young gorillas, or really anyone but me. Still have the planes though.
Absolutely,, me too, but saying that ,just finished restoring ,33 foot yacht during lock down, 5 months, 7days a week ,and then went on to scape and sand and paint 2xstory house,, am 62 and fit as , and can show up the young uns , ,started boat building as a 13 year old ,,after school ,, an many years in the building trade ,all aspects, ,,,,.body is worn out ,big time , can't wait to retire in three years,
I was always taught , from school onwards to never lay a plane down on its machined face ,always on its side. Due to possible damage to machined face or altering blade position or cutting edge. What is your view sir?
Quite a workout!
Lou, doing a wonderful job! A question: I understand you're going to double plank Evelyn. How do you avoid hollow between the two layers of planking? Are you going to bed the second layer in epoxy?
Andrew, in some places we'll have to back out the carvel planking to fit the curve. In other areas, we'll slightly flatten the strip planking between line off lines to accept the second layer of planking. When that's done, we'll brush or roll a coat of straight epoxy on the strip planking and the inner face of the carvel plank. Then we'll mix up some thickened epoxy and spread it evenly on the strip planking. Finally, we'll fasten the carvel plank through the strip planks and into the frames. Hopefully, you'll be seeing that process pretty soon.
Question: Is there a reason why you don't use a longitudal radius plane, a "ship plane" in that project?
Kung fu ,the master .so much knowledge
I would like to ask you: in video from past, You are talking about corking and "sawing" the cotton by movement between planks. As I see now, your strip planks are glued together, so it means there will be no movement?
Vlada, the planks on caulked hulls have a tendency to slide slightly fore and aft as the hull works in a sea. By gluing the edges of the strip planks and then gluing a layer of planking over the strip planking, we can minimize the sawing effect or movement.
@@BristolShipwrights Aha. I wondered if this glue can stop the movement at all or is it any special "plastik" kind of glue, which allows movement.
Man glitter. 😎
Lou you’re hilarious! You could use an intern or two though! 😂 Cheers!
How old are you Lou, if you don’t mind me asking?
I'd put Lou's age at about 30. If you're talking about chronologically, that's a good question. (Ken)
@@BristolShipwrights I'm the opposite. I'm 46, but I feel 146!
compass plane. Both hand and electric.
Lou/Lou 2024
I'm learning from Lou the joy of planing. Sanding is in no way enjoyable and is nasty. There is something about a planed finished wood surface.
Nice job old man!
Oops I am older than you
A perfect phonecall * *o* *
Cordless plane, you can use that one for all hand tools. Ha
I made a corded hammer once. But that was for a guy on a siding crew who was constantly dropping his hammer. We drilled a hole in the butt of his hammer handle and inserted a power cord so he could lash it to his tool harness. He loved it and always knew which hammer was his, the corded hammer. Every time he dropped it after that, he could pull it back up without worrying it would hit someone in the head or climbing down the scaffold or ladder to get it. I think he had some nerve damage in his hand from his military service or something, not quite sure.
That’s annoying, I keep wanting to run my hand over that planking !
Wouldn't it make more sense to finish all the planking before planing?
I don't think it would matter. Even if you were planing the whole hull at once, you'd still only be working an area at a time.
I bet it would be much more pleasant to plane as you go, then when you get to the end of the planking process, you don't have to plane an entire hull before moving on.
Plus, it breaks up two tedious tasks- planking and planing.
It doesn't matter, but in the video Lou mentions wanting to be able to work in that area before having to deal with scaffolding.
Plus by alternating, he’s able to work more continuously. Plank, plane, plank, plane rather than plank plank, plane, take a break for a day because the planing’s hard work, finish the planing. He’s able to plank on his rest days from planing.
Thats a lot of work why not use a hand held belt sander you can get them on Amazon for less than $100
Because it wouldn’t work. Wrong tool for the job.
Please don’t have a coronary Lou! Phew, you have to be in decent shape to do this.
Instead of building everything rounded like a champagne bottle, why not build everything with straight lines, & angles like pyramid or a stealth fighter plane. No rounded curves. Then nothing has to be steamed or bent into shape.
Water is a denser medium than air, and the boundary layer will act somewhat differently. Creases, angles create vortexes behind themselves, which create drag, which must be overcome by the motive force- wind, engine. Those trapezoidal fighter jets develop enormous thrust, far greater for their size than a sailing vessel. I really don't know how those planes are aerodynamic- they shouldn't be able to fly. You achieve the least drag on a smooth shape- keeping the boundary layer attached for as long as possible- that's why boats taper off to the rear. Same as racecars and normal planes. As soon as a vortex forms anywhere along an object; you have drag. Hope that helps.
Evolution made fish smooth because water is 60x as dense as air.
Those wooden planes are coffin smoothers...
Yeah, proper names are great and all, but with his level of experience I think we'll let him call them Larry, Daryl, and Darryl, if he wants to. I just love him imparting his experience, if he calls his tools by other than the "proper" name where some viewer comes from, then so be it.
We all know that some tools have different names in different parts of the world anyway.
For those seeking a tool name to search online for, however... thank you.
Almost a shame to cover it up with more planking.
I bet you don't ever feel the need to go to a gym.
Just get the correct disc sander and move on fer crist sake
