Love your asembaly work shop space is very cool guys and your work skills for boat building nothing beats I can do attitude and I can and I will makes everything in life can't wait to see more exciting stuff love it 🖒🖒🖒
Hi Scott ,, Just love watching you do your thing and explaining it as you go ,, been looking for more videos put cant fine any about putting the tinbers in and planking your boat , would love to them ,, keep up the good work .
When the planking goes on , that's going to be great to watch Scott,, i have never build a boat but love to try someday ,, good thing to learn , not many boat builders out there any more like it was one time ,, hope to see your new video soon.
Scott, Just watched the video for the second time. Good idea using the pocket screws for alignment. I am starting a drift boat and will remember to use that idea before gluing up me frames. Take care and looking forward to the next video.
I wish we had more time to build and make video's it really is fun, but it seems like we either have commitments on the weekends or I'm working. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel though.
Thank you for your reply. your doing a great job wish i could help but I am in the UK, retired now but love watching your films, keep it up you will get there. Regards From Brian. UK.
Is there going to be a weighted keel, or is the design such that the placement of tanks, water, clean and dirty, and fuel will provide the necessary ballast. Great project!! Love the "give it a try" attitude.
Hi , when we are lifting big wood stuff like this we use a forge C clamp to attach to the wood then attack the hoist or whet ever to that , saves space and way better that the rats nest of straps you are using. Cheers Warren
The frames aren't that heavy, just add an angled gantry to the top of your rolling hoist frame for 'lighter' lifting jobs. Then you'll be able to move that lift point down the hull for each frame lift...
You should build a frame around the crane that specifically deals with catching the frames and keeping them level for assembly. Two pieces of wood and a few angle brackets off the main body should suffice, i believe.
Our family has a proud tradition broken bones, ACL's and Achilles injuries, so we always have a good selection of crutches for all our different heights!
really nice boat build. I think that those curves would easily throw anyone for a loop. Lots of hard work. I am so happy I do not have to live in Snow anymore. I have to wonder what the taxes on a house in upstate NY are? I pay no property taxes .
The town I live in has lowest property taxes in the County but they are still very high compared to the rest of the country. I have a sibling who lives in one of the most expensive towns and their taxes are close to $12000. It's a nice house, but not 12 grand nice!
$12,000 is a lot of pain!!!!!!!! What do you get for that free back rubs. hot chocolate in the winter and ice cream in the summer? It has been a real blessing for us since we moved here to actually OWN our 6 acres and two houses and NOT pay any taxes................ ever! $12,0000 I hope that it is worth it to pay that much. How has the boat been coming along? Jim
uhhh well to roads get plowed and paved but not much after that! NY is in trouble for sure, just to much free stuff here. Boat is going well, I had a minor injury at work so I lost out on 2 weekends of boat building, hopefully back next week!
I am glad to hear you are back in good order from the injury. We hear down here about the flu up there too. We get plowed roads and trash pick up and fire service, but all that is covered in our auto tax. Do you have to pay auto taxes in NY?
Love to see the progress. Please wear a respirator when ever you are handling fiberglass, you only have 1 pair of lungs and you need them the rest of your life
Just with that one frame in we can start to see how she will look. The days are getting longer, so it won't be too long before it warms up for epoxying,....
Wow! Judging from the size of the transom that is going to be one big boat! Do you know if the scantlings are generally similar for sailboats and powerboats of a given size?
It's even bigger in real life. Sorry I'm not sure about your question. I would guess sailboats are even beefier because of the stresses they undergo when under sail.
I don't know much about powerboats, but thought that with the engine vibrations and speed at which they move through the chop they might require beefier structural components, or more structure (stringers, etc) to support the hull. Anyhow, I really enjoy watching the building process. Especially for such a large scale build (I've only ever built dinghies myself).
I'm not that talented! I bought the plans from Shamrock Aquaponics for around $30 in 2016. Fairly straight forward to build but it is time consuming. There's quite a bit more information on the building of the shed on our website. If you go to www.seadreamerproject.com and click on the "boat shed" tab at the top of the page theres pictures and descriptions of the build. It's a great space for a boat, greenhouse or general storage, good luck!
I would think that using the strongest joint possible for a boat of that size would be critical. Why not use mortises and tenons or even use dowels both of which are stronger than pocket screws.
Great to see you back again and making such progress. brilliant to get to estimate the actual size of the boat now that the transom is on. will there be a lead keel block on it?
Thanks Dave, no lead keel. It's not a true sailboat even though it will have an emergency "get home" sailing rig. We will have internal ballast so we get to our proper displacement. We might use lead if we can get it, but we may go the old fashion way and use concrete.
Fantastic progress - but not one of your better videos. It was difficult to determine what you were doing especially the faraway shot when you were moving the transom into position. Still gave it a thumbs up.😀
I was disappointed to but once we got going I couldn't stop to adjust the camera. We'll do better next time when we install for real and when we get to the rest of the frames.
I'm a retired UK police sergeant and I know exactly where you're coming from... doing something that has nothing to do with the job. The perfect solution, as far as I'm concerned.
As a technical engineering apprentice in the late 60s, working in imperial units of fractions of an inch, I was OK. Since then, I've worked in the metric system at base 10, which the rest of the world (including NASA) now accepts as standard, apart from the US, Myanma (Burma) and Liberia (www.zmescience.com/other/map-of-countries-officially-not-using-the-metric-system/) Maybe it's time for the US to abandon the 'thou' and go metric, as we in the UK did in the late 1960s.
LOL. So astounded that such a hugely progressive nation as the US professes to still align itself with a now redundant unit of measurement, pleased that the US is the last bastion of the imperial inch! How proud you must be to share your standard with such great nations as Liberia and Myanmar (Burma).
Is any of your material getting scorched using your wood stove as a saw horse? Was that your son helping out? He's a big boy, it would be nice to put his muscles to work helping dad a bit more. Makes me wonder how you're swinging the cost of the build at the same time as feeding a pro football player sized son? Your grocery bill must be large, I've had teenage boys, and none even half his build. How many kiddos do y'all have?
That transom really brings shape to the aft of the boat...UUUGE! Nice work man!
Love your asembaly work shop space is very cool guys and your work skills for boat building nothing beats I can do attitude and I can and I will makes everything in life can't wait to see more exciting stuff love it 🖒🖒🖒
Thanks Don, we are having a lot of fun figuring out all the different puzzles of boat building.
Thanks for taking the time to share your project with us.
my pleasure!
I also say thanks Scot keep the great work.I live very close to you .Tom from Ontario Canada.
right across the pond from me! On a really, really clear day we can see the top of the CN tower in Toronto.
Hi Scott ,, Just love watching you do your thing and explaining it as you go ,, been looking for more videos put cant fine any about putting the tinbers in and planking your boat , would love to them ,, keep up the good work .

More of the master of awe inspiring work and detail giving us some more of his artistic naval architectural efforts.
Scott,
Just watched the video for the second time. Good idea using the pocket screws for alignment. I am starting a drift boat and will remember to use that idea before gluing up me frames. Take care and looking forward to the next video.
Thanks Matt. It worked out really well. I used that on my zip build and it worked great.
Just watched the entire series! Can't wait to see more progress.
Thanks! I can't wait either!
I have enjoyed watching your progress. Great job so far.
thanks
Can't wait to see the frames go up!!!! Great progress!
you and me both!
There you are good to see you back....
I wish we had more time to build and make video's it really is fun, but it seems like we either have commitments on the weekends or I'm working. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel though.

Excelente projeto.

I see it's still a bit chilly in your neck of the woods. Great video as always, love watching the progress. 👍
been crazy. 0F to 50F over the course of 3 weeks. snow, sun, rain you just never know!
Hi , when we are lifting big wood stuff like this we use a forge C clamp to attach to the wood then attack the hoist or whet ever to that , saves space and way better that the rats nest of straps you are using. Cheers Warren
Dude once again you are the man !
haha, good times. I impressed myself with my balance!
Just as a bide note, that saw dust is great plant bedding for flowers and shrubs
Looking great, been following your pics on Instagram and was wondering when your vid was coming out. Great job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Frank!
Awesome
That's huge!
The frames aren't that heavy, just add an angled gantry to the top of your rolling hoist frame for 'lighter' lifting jobs. Then you'll be able to move that lift point down the hull for each frame lift...
Great progress - an extra pair of hands would make good sense and if I was local I would be there in a flash! Good work guys.
Thanks Pete.
Well done sir.
Thanks Jeff
You should build a frame around the crane that specifically deals with catching the frames and keeping them level for assembly. Two pieces of wood and a few angle brackets off the main body should suffice, i believe.
oooh that's a good idea, like a cradle. Thanks.
A TAB Diet soda at 11:00. I had no idea they still made that drink. It was the first diet soda. It's awful compared to more recent diet sodas. LOL!!
Lots of crutches in your workshop/garage. Might be able to use the aluminium for fittings on the boat. Excellent video.
Our family has a proud tradition broken bones, ACL's and Achilles injuries, so we always have a good selection of crutches for all our different heights!
Major "land" mark achieved, building the frames. :)
Scott, your snow is gone. Sure you don’t live in South Carolina. Looks great, keep up the good work
I wish I was in SC! Year round building would be sweet!
really nice boat build. I think that those curves would easily throw anyone for a loop. Lots of hard work.

They still sell Tab ?? Or was that left over from grand dad? lol
Great work .
Lol are you drinking a tab. Great work too
gotta keep my girlish figure! Plus it's my wife's name so I bought a 12 pack as kind of a joke.
Love to see the progress. Please wear a respirator when ever you are handling fiberglass, you only have 1 pair of lungs and you need them the rest of your life
I hope to see you floating in the ocean by autumn .
yeah probably just a few more weeks. ;-)
Just with that one frame in we can start to see how she will look. The days are getting longer, so it won't be too long before it warms up for epoxying,....
I know it's only dry fit but it was still pretty exciting.
Wow! Judging from the size of the transom that is going to be one big boat! Do you know if the scantlings are generally similar for sailboats and powerboats of a given size?

scot did yu design yur bow shed ,or go off plans,would yu care to share construction details?
I'm not that talented! I bought the plans from Shamrock Aquaponics for around $30 in 2016. Fairly straight forward to build but it is time consuming. There's quite a bit more information on the building of the shed on our website.

I see the wood gussets but did you put the transom frame together with pocket screws?
I did use coated pocket screws. More for alignment purposes but they do add a little mechanical strength.
I would think that using the strongest joint possible for a boat of that size would be critical. Why not use mortises and tenons or even use dowels both of which are stronger than pocket screws.
Great to see you back again and making such progress. brilliant to get to estimate the actual size of the boat now that the transom is on. will there be a lead keel block on it?

Have to agree, that fitting of the transom, puts thing into perspective I can start to see the Hull outline. Nice job Scott !
😃😃😃😃
Fantastic progress - but not one of your better videos. It was difficult to determine what you were doing especially the faraway shot when you were moving the transom into position. Still gave it a thumbs up.😀
I was disappointed to but once we got going I couldn't stop to adjust the camera. We'll do better next time when we install for real and when we get to the rest of the frames.
I was frustrated by the camera angle when you mounted the transom.
hi like you show

You are not a cop, so why claim, in an earlier video, that you are a Sergeant in the local police department? Just saying!

Would probably enjoy the video except for music. Why do folks feel they need to add irritating soundtracks to good video?
Yes, the music is very annoying. I would rather listen to silence or tool sounds rather than the music.
I'm sorry I fell asleep during the video did you get anything done
Must be a machinist or a mechanic instead of a carpenter. He uses a pen instead of a pencil to mark on wood.
I prefer to build with Woodglut plans.
