    I’ve. Been a Framer for 22 years, my company builds the highest end homes in Los Angeles. I’ve learned more from you in a year of watching your videos than 22 years on the field. You are amazing, I have nobody to teach here, there are no craftsman left in Los Angeles, I hope there is someone where you are to teach so true craftsmen don’t disappear. You taught me that’s for sure. So with that I would like to say, thank you very much

    I'm in my workshop in downtown Tokyo (I'm a carpenter) and I saw this video pop up in my feed, OK time for a coffee break!
    I have to thank you and your crew for taking us along for the ride, what a great build, I doubt I'll ever build a boat, but I have learned so much watching your videos.
    Thank you sir!
    Cheers from Tokyo!

    I am a boat builder you are an artist. I so enjoy your videos I have learned a lot from you and thank you for keeping wood boats alive.
    I am a kid again every time I take my Serenity 3 out and smell the varnish and fresh paint!
    I have traveled all over the world but only find peace in my wood boat.
    I worked for Starrett as Education Manager, and know measurements, yet I sit eyes wide open and watch you work.
    Great job keep it up.

    We all know what a master Mr Sauzedde is, but I was very surprised at how LIGHT this dory sits in the water, even with the multiple layers for the bottom.
    Francis is not only an artisan, but a great engineer. Anyone would be hard put to improve on this awesome design.
    Really a pleasure to see the man himself finally take this baby out for a maiden voyage. That thing FLIES!
    Thank you very much for all the knowledge and entertainment Mr. Sauzedde. Can't wait to see what's up next.

    That's the "carry" that L.F. Herreshoff so strongly advocated, and it is in itself a thing of beauty. Lou has created not only a beautiful boat beautifully built, but one performing beautifully. Clearly the right size for solo open-water rowing and just lovely to look at.

    Hey Lou from Argentina My Best Best wishes to You and they crew, it's so wonderful the way you work and how you teach, it's blast of inspiración everytime, sometimes I felt like life was over, or that "it" was it, but after I "knew" you, it changed my mind I feel there are millions of great things that I Will accomplish and you are part of that feeling for sure, I'm just 28 years old now and I love wood working I haven't Made a boat so far, but I Made guitars, houses, roofs, chairs and sofás and other couple things, but what You teach have limitless apliccations it's just great, just great, when I see you I feel like I'am learning from the craft itself, and really I learn about your temper, it's great to see how you go about things in your mind, anyway, hope the very very Best for you and the ones you love from the top of my hearth. Cheers!

    I am an Industrial Electrician, I have always enjoyed boating, and I'm not too shabby working with wood. I found your channel on accident, and I have to say I have been hooked. I have little by little watched all of your videos.
    There is something about watching a craftsman utilizing their skill set that I enjoy. The wealth of knowledge you share in these videos is priceless. Even though I do not plan on building my own boat, I must say it has been very educational watching how boats are built, what all the various parts are called, and you have a pleasant personality that makes your videos even more interesting.
    Thank you for making these videos, it has been a pleasure to watch and very informative.

Your skill is vast and being able to explain what your doing and why, is educational for the younger viewers learning from your experience. Nice job teaching the trade to future shipwrights. It's sad that you haven't posted in over a year, but I'm sure there are reasons for that. Hope your well and enjoying what your doing. Best regards and much happiness to you. Thanks for your time.

    HEY Lou from TN . I got up bright and early on a cool day (40s) and found the last video and that is one sweet boat. Now I will go to EBAy and see what others think. I will not bid but have a good time seeing the biding. I watched you row and having fun with my mouth hanging open. The boat glides over the water. I watched a chap over in the UK that has a small boat he sails and camps along the canals. He compared his little boat with a yacht and said dollar for dollar the little boat was far more enjoyable. At 82 years old I build boat models not boats and have always loved the water. I enjoy the videos and can say yours are the only ones that I do not turn down or off the sound EXCELLENT!

    We all knew it was a pretty boat, but seeing it move through the water like that makes it that much prettier.

    Your Dory is awesome! The craftsmanship and design impeccable! I love it! It looks like it was made to glide in the water. I am late to watch this, but your teaching of boat building has inspired my art. I have always wanted a boat growing up on the west coast...maybe someday🌞 Thanks!
