Building the 23’ V-Bottom Skiff - Episode 22: Cutting the sheer line
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- We've got our V-Bottom skiff all planked up and now it's time to cut the sheer line! In order to do this I've had to modify my skill saw to cut as deep as possible because we're not only out to cut through the planking but also the tops of the frame heads. Once we establish the angle of the cut, which will basically mirror the angle of the transom where it meets the sides we need to set up a batten the length of the boat to follow with our saw. Then we'll make our cut, remove the excess planking that's been cut off and then also finish off the cuts in the frame heads with a 10-point handsaw. Lastly, we need to lower the transom a bit to match our sheer line, so we'll cut that with our skill saw as well. The top of the transom does have a radius so we really need to tend the saw to make that curve and not drift off the line. Our V-Bottom skiff now has her true final shape, next week we will be attaching the guards outside the planking at the sheer line and then we're onto the breast hook!

Always interesting to see the modifications Louis has made to his power tools.
There an episode in this channel about his electric planer; it’s one of my favourites.
@@AS-jc4th I have the same planer, but I haven't even taken off the annoying kickstand thing, let alone any of the other changes. I don't know anyone who is as evangelical about electric planers as Louis.
I love the tool modification vids, always informative!
She's even more beautiful now! I LOVE that sheer and those lines. You're creating a thing of enduring beauty, Lou.
Thanks Ray, how are things?!
These lines make this boat a beauty queen. Your skiff is a lovely design. Thanks for explaining the details as you are doing them.
Thanks Don
My favorite guy on the Internet. I confess that I noticed my body tensed up when he ran that saw along the shear and the transom. It's not the first time Lou has scared the be-Jesus out of me. You remember when he used a saw blade on a grinder without a fence or guide?
Beautiful and elegant
you are so interesting to listen to...I adore your craftsmanship
Thank you!
Can’t wait to see you flying across the water in it.
Thanks Louis.
Neither can we!
First! Such a treat to have this run of TFS videos lately. Thank you for all you do to teach all of us!!!
Greetings from Greece
Another great video Lou!
Thanks!
I fareeging love you, man. you remind me of my buddy's dad (but with world history) in your ability to talk quickly and efficiently, and explain every detail to the point. It's more like "education from a shipwright", not just tips. also the tool modifications are very clever. I put blue tape on my foot (of the saw) on both sides to keep from scratching but you don't have to worry about that. I also stick a shim or nail in the guard to keep it out of the way, but you just opened my eyes. Of course osha would not approve, but if you're not being paid for the job, you can do what you want! sea you next week!
Thanks Willis!
Lou: You are the the Artist of theTwenty- Second Century. Fabulous design
Lou, you lighten my day watching a true craftsman. The sheer line gives it grace. Joe
The shear looks similar to boats designed by William Garden. Our Saturna 33 has a dramatic shear, that I wasn’t sure I was fond of until we sailed her. Like you he knew what he was doing.
For those not read in: that saw that he hacked pieces out of, and swapped the trigger location, looks like an older but top shelf Milwaukee. It was darn high end back in the day, and will outlive us all. To my eye, that saw has all the hallmarks of being owned by a true craftsman who cares way more about his craft than he did about his trick new saw.
It's the truth
That transom cut is why it's called a "circular saw" I reckon - You got rid of the split wedge and parts of the guard to be able to cut that segment of a circle with it .... ;-)
I love those modifications though - got scolded a lot as an apprentice for preparing my machines to do what I wanted 'em to do .....
Beautiful
man u do some real good work man
Love the saw modification, a while back you did a modification on a ryobi planer, which worked flawless. If I ever get to retire, I would love to build a wooden run about boat. Until then I will continue to learn watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks David!
Sweet lines on her. Looking very very nice.
Beautiful shear shape with that V-hull front and skif interior. Becoming a gorgeous boat. I so want one.
So good to see the progress you're making on the v bottom skiff. She's looking pretty good.
This is my favourite RUclips channel. In a crazy world it's a place of sanity :)
Thanks Alan!
wild cut - i'd be sweating bullets
So was I
Love the swoop in that sheer line lou As you said, she looks like an island boat and I fully agree.
Absolutely beautiful lines on that boat! Tipping my immaginary hat to you!
It makes me want to build a boat just like this... that sheer looks so pretty.
Wow, got to subscribe, love boat building. Was a frame carpenter for years and have always wanted to build a fishing boat. Great boat.
Welcome aboard!
The boat is looking awesome lou.u are truly a master craftsman..thank I for showing us your art
Love your work brother👍
Thank you!
I had a Millers Falls drop foot saw given to me by my Father in law back in 1978 and it was my first good saw. I later on made it into my table saw with a 30”x 30” piece of 1/4” steel plate. It worked fine on the job site with a 3’ piece of scrap clamped to it and served me well. I learned very early to make what I had work for my benefit because good tools weren’t readily available in my area and the nearest sears store was an hour away, also tools weren’t as developed and brands and choices were few. Can’t wait to see you tillering that big skiff !! Stay safe Lou
I can't wait to drive it! Stay tuned!
I might be the only one feeling this way, but damn I loved the high free-board better - the look she had immediately after the installation of that last permanent side-plank. To me this sheer line, well, butchers an otherwise beautiful blue-water boat. You may call it a skiff all you want but not every wooden vessel has to be built with dragging nets or lobster-traps over the railing in mind.
Looks great Lou! Can't believe how different it looks trimmed down.
I love watching this master at work. He's entertaining and SO experienced . That Boat is stunning and the shear is superb ! ! !
She's looking beautiful!
I hope this doesn’t offend: but you’re completely insane. Highly experienced, and confident, but also insane. And I love it
Really happy to see wooden boats still being built!!! Tks
looking fair
That boat does have some pretty lines. Well done!
That sheer makes the skiff look awesome! A beautiful skiff with beautiful lines! Louis is A true
craftsman for sure another great job!
Thanks Scott
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos Your welcome truly enjoy your videos keep it up!
Awesome to see her take form. Beautiful work
All good stuff Lou. Enjoyed that . Real Boatbuilding.
I get a kick out of ingenious tool modification. Nice.
Lovely lines and great to watch the transformation. Thanks for sharing. From the UK.
Looking terrific Lou!
happy to see you are happy
Magnificent cut Lou!
Sheer's beautiful!!
Always a tip of the hat my good friend thank you for your work and I'm sure glad Levi's sponsors you :-)
Not yet they don't
love the sheer line
I like it now you’ve done it.
I love it! Looking great!
Looks great Lou.
I've watched the flat bottom skiff series and to here with the v bottom and watching these videos, I seriously think I could build one. But, I'd have to cut my own trees, not going to want to spend the $ needed to buy the lumber. Oh, and a bigger shop.
Beautiful lines👍
I love the modifications on your skill saw. I've been doing that sort of thing for decades also! 😄
Nice!
A treasure of a man!
So many little tricks learned the hard way.
Crazy and fun watching this project moving forward!!
Way to go Louis 🎯 looking very swoopy 👍
Greatest boat ever built right there! How I'd love to own one just like it. Fantastic job!
Thank you very much!
Hey man! I love your videos... You got a good way of doing things. I appreciate all the hard work you put into everything you do. Peace man..
Thanks for sharing 👍
I am a simple man, I see new episode from Lou, I put a like!
Very simple, we like it Peter!
Excellant
Great video 👍
She's looking more than just pritty she is looking terrific.
Great content, and superb commentary, as always.
Thank you
Like a kid in the candy store; go Lou!
I Have the same saw. I got it at a yard sale for 25$ about 18 years ago. I only use it for my best work.
Thanks Louis!
Always a treat!.
Thanks
Taxi on, Lou!! She’s fishy, alright! What a beaut.
Thanks Mark! Always love hearing from you, more good stuff on the way, reach out anytime!
OH NO !!! I prefer the "form follows function" idiology. To cut the sides off minimizes the seaworthy of this nice little yacht.
Magnificent!
I bet it will handle chop really well.
Almost feels like it's "aggressive".
Fantastic
Thanks
Beautiful.
Awesome :-)
thanks Lou
love it
That skill saw is no longer fool proof, but it's safe enough in Lou's hands
You aren't kidding
Love it! She looks like a “Beamie” Panga…GO LOU!
What's a Panga?
Coming along Lou.
Hi, great boat, great job. Where can I find the plans to build one similar boat for myself?
Many thanks, Max.
I'm curious to see you match port and starboard so they are identical.
I used to watch your channel all the time a few years back. Glad to have you back in my feed. I have a question: do you think building a boat like this would be a thing a group of kids (12-22) could handle? I want to start a program for kids so they will have a practical skill for a warming world and boat building is something too few people know.
Great idea but this would not be the best boat for beginners, look back at the flat bottom skiff series!
Go Lou- follow it all.this is a corker
Keep watching, you ain't seen nothing yet
No corner samson posts!
Always something to learn when Lou does a video. She's looking good. Looking forward to seeing the guards on and the breast hook going in. I'll bet the breast hook is going to look like a fine table top. Are you putting lodging knees in the aft corners? Have a great week Lou.
You'll have to wait and see! It's coming up soon!
I'm an island boat and I'm trying to make it
Do bed slats break easily?
How do you know how low in the water a boat sets and paint the bottom line? Enjoy your video
You don't but it's straight and we can always adjust it if need be, there's not real way to know until it's weighted in the water
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos thanks for the response look forward to the day it gets wet
Orca just abandoned like everyone else who starts the project?
have you ever done one with a pilothouse'?
No, not yet! I'm a big fan of pilot houses but I've never built one on a skiff
Dear Lou what type of wood is suitable for a boat?
Many types of wood can be used it all depends on the situation
Plywood is good? Pine?
noice
Thanks Baba-Booey
How much will it cause for you to build a lobster boat
Please add a figurehead
ORCA I NEED ORCA
You're gonna get it!
