I’m a simple man. I check in with YT as I prepare for bed most nights, and tonight I scrolled through an above average amount of BS but then I see this posting. I wish I could convey, Lou, how much I appreciate you. You remind me of my own grandad. You are a national treasure and there are so many folks like me that just adore and appreciate these postings. ✌️🇺🇸❤️
So many design details wrought by experience. It's a real treasure to have you talk through your thoughts as you build to document just a fraction of your knowledge. This kind of knowledge takes several lifetimes to learn and it's good you have the opportunity to pass it on.
Always makes my day better when I see Lou has uploaded a video. I am certain I have never watched any one of them without learning something wonderful. Thanks, Lou!
Holy cow Lou. The tip on cutting the transom flush is pure gold. I’ve chomped through before but couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t stay straight. When you explain it makes perfect sense.
For an 18' boat, this looks huge when Lou is standing in it and leaning against the transom. With the top planks on, even without the sheer cut, this is a beauty. Thank you Lou for the videos.
It will be “Shear Beauty!” I’m seeing myself slaying the walleye in a big Canadian Shield lake. Totally agree on tiller steering, so much easier to figure out your drift and back trolling with that beautiful transom would be a dream.
Great video guys. I really liked the commentary on the process and thoughts on what is going to happen in the future. And yes, it is a beautiful boat already! Thanks for all the videos.
As much as your old school traditional skills are amazing even mesmerising to view the improvements in cordless tooling is one of my few appreciations of technology
I want someone to love me like Louis loves his electric plane. Excellent video, seeing the notification that you've released another video is one of the highlights of my week! This is a beautiful boat already, and I can't wait to see how it shapes up as you put all of the finishing touches on it. Especially looking forward to how you're going to cut the shear! You always have a great eye for that.
What I love about your videos Lou is not just your knowledge and skills in the trade but what shines through even more is your multi tips and tricks that you share generously with us mere mortals that only a true master shipwright like yourself has in his tool box so to speak.
Your welcome Lou I hear ya and agree wholeheartedly, We are always learning considering we aren't a know it all . cheers budd. @@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos
If I could afford it you'd be building another one as we speak. That's the most beautiful boat I've ever seen. Whether you say it or not as well. Just imagine Striper fishing out of such a magnificent craft?! Incredible!
You're really covering some ground since the rollover. That is one fine looking boat that anyone would be proud of. I like all the thought and detail you put into your boats You don't miss a thing..Thank you Lou. This build will be unforgettable!
Every episode is amazing, these videos are timeless treasures. These boats will be like masterpieces to be protected for all time, hopefully used continuously.
I was a boat coxswain in the Navy. There was nothing I enjoyed more than running my boat. You are 100% right Lou. 55 feet of a boat with twin screws, you could do tricks.
..."you could put TWO 250hp motors on it!" :) NOW we're talkin'!! :D Seriously though, OMG yes, she is gorgeous! For as long as I have been watching you guys I have done so with a boat in my head, just like Lou had one in his. It's amazing to see him see his boat becoming real. Likewise, I can't wait 'til we get to see him cruising it.
That one would make a nice plug for a fiberglass working boat, even a nice little weekend cabin cruiser. Put a bracket on the back and hang a couple a 60 to 100hp yamahas on the back. Nice shape to her, should ride the water nicely
Man, I think you are the best educational, how-to, etc. You Tuber I've ever seen. You need a TV show you're a LOT more interesting than "This Old (crap)House" or whatever they call it. Subscribed!!! I agree with you -- "It's beautiful. It just is!"
Huge fan of tillers over wheels. Wheels are convenient and pretty but with a tiller you can feel the balance of boat. This is much more evident when sailing. I brought a friend out on a 27' with a tiller for his first time sailing. Once he felt the tiller and got comfortable he had a blast.
What a wonderful boat. I can imagine running it from the stern. I agree with you about slotted bronze screws but I have found I prefer square drive (Robertson) ones. They are very common in Canada. I understand the ease of repair with slotted but I build and don't repair so there ya be. I agree, even in fresh water, good galvanized beats stainless.
The ideal work for battery tools, and yes a slotted screw with a proper tapered shank in bronze is a boat screw ! I wonder if you can still get the huge stanchion screws we used to see ? Please don’t cut her down too far Louis !
Beautiful. I wondered what was happening with you and the V-bottom. Seems RUclips reset the notification bell. I've got a little catching up to do. Just a few videos behind. It'll begun watching 3 or 4 in row. 👍
I'll take a Robertson screw anytime over any other style myself. They don't cam out like Phillips or slip sideways like a straight slot since they're self aligning, and are readily available in any metal or gauge in my neck of the woods. However they're not as pretty or traditional as perhaps a straight slot when it comes to attaching fittings etc.
Any regular viewers, just try to count all the five dollar tricks you've learned here over the last few years. These videos really should be archived in the Congressional library and the Smithsonian. Some day this knowledge will be a thing of the past and we need to save it.
such a great treasure to have your knowledge and craft with others i follow all your builds it makes me think of my grandpa who passed from cancer he was also a master at his craft and i am looking forward to seeing this finished it is a true art watching u craft these boats
Lou it's the boat I've been thinking about myself. Seeing boats from Europe and islands that are very long driven from the back but too narrow for their length...they just don't look right. The lines and proportions of this boat are perfect for taking out a few friends to sightsee, fish, swim off etc., fresh or salt water. You build like a carpenter, regular guy. I think of boats as functional art work. Didn't know about the two part epoxy, have only used West and their fillers. Haven't built a whole boat yet but would like to this year. Done lots of curved work in carpentry through the years and was given a 17' dory shell 20 + years ago and put on mahogany gunnels and thwarts and painted it up nice. Used a California Paint product called Larcoloid I think, and held up for years, but the boat was always trailered. Will there be plans for the 23?
14:30 Couldn’t I more easily use an oscillating multi tool? I’m one of those people that can never get a hand saw to stay cutting where I want it, but the oscillating multitools do the same job essentially when cutting out the bottom plate in a doorway…. Often performed by the least skilled guy on the job site while everyone else is busy doing something else requiring more skill (I assume it’s because there isn’t 12 plus inches of overlap, just a couple millimeters of overlap). Just think, this boat is three feet longer than the dory Alfred “Centennial” Johnson sailed single handed from Gloucester Mass to Liverpool England in 1876. He is quoted as saying he did it because he was “a damned fool.” But damned fools have proven many a things CAN be done, even if they would only be done by a fool…. Another AWESOME and INFORMATIVE video….. I’m crippled now (30 years in the military can do that to a man) but still have hopes of building my own boat soon to do the great loop and spend a couple winters in the Caribbean…. With the tips and tricks you show, I feel that even a cripple with the right power tools (and a little help from a couple younger/healthier relatives) I will be able to pull it off…. Thank you!
If there is one thing I need your answer to it has to be Where the fibreglass laminate ends you cover with polysulphide sealant the length of the timber top edge, is it sealed with epoxy from the layup or bare wood as appears in the video. My reason for asking is I’m afraid if water penetrates the layers it could rot. Normal core has a 20 degree bevel off angle and it is sealed as an envelope of GRP.
I’m a simple man.

I simply can't wait to see Lou driving this boat!
Always makes my day better when I see Lou has uploaded a video. I am certain I have never watched any one of them without learning something wonderful. Thanks, Lou!
Long planks gently following the frames so subtly, beautiful!
Nothing is better than confident anticipation! Lou, kudos! 😎
That lovely craft has deep soul. Just shines. Thank you for sharing. She's a darling 🧜♀️
Holy cow Lou. The tip on cutting the transom flush is pure gold. I’ve chomped through before but couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t stay straight. When you explain it makes perfect sense.
Great video and his enthusiasm is just 😍👏🏻
That one beautiful wood lined hole in the water! Thanks for sharing!
Lou, you have created a thing of great beauty. I love her lines; they really please the eye.
For an 18' boat, this looks huge when Lou is standing in it and leaning against the transom. With the top planks on, even without the sheer cut, this is a beauty. Thank you Lou for the videos.
That’s because it’s a 23 foot boat 😬
@@superwag634 Yeah, forgot this is not the 18' he built previously. Thanks for the correction.
Nice work. Your enthusiasm is wonderful.
Thank you very much!
Thanks Lou, regardless of the tools you use it's the depth of your shipwright skills which determines the outcome. Joe
It will be “Shear Beauty!” I’m seeing myself slaying the walleye in a big Canadian Shield lake. Totally agree on tiller steering, so much easier to figure out your drift and back trolling with that beautiful transom would be a dream.
Hey, I live in the 'shield'. What lake?
@@marktompkins8519 we fish Wapikaimaski, close to Sesaganaga.
Nice little row boat, lol !! She will be really pretty when she gets all of her makeup/paint put on !
Great video guys. I really liked the commentary on the process and thoughts on what is going to happen in the future.
And yes, it is a beautiful boat already! Thanks for all the videos.
As much as your old school traditional skills are amazing even mesmerising to view the improvements in cordless tooling is one of my few appreciations of technology
She has very nice lines. Can't wait to see where you put the shear, I know it will look perfect.

Good to see you back so soon after the last episode, Lou.
She looks magic Lou. Thanks for another video!

“It’s not beautiful cause I say so, it just is!”
Fantastic

Awesome. Jo, you're so fizzing its fantastic!
Everything you build this beautiful well-thought-out well constructed.
I am thoroughly enjoying this build series! Thank you very much for sharing your adventure with us.
That one would make a nice plug for a fiberglass working boat, even a nice little weekend cabin cruiser. Put a bracket on the back and hang a couple a 60 to 100hp yamahas on the back. Nice shape to her, should ride the water nicely
I have watched this channel so many times, I swear I can build this boat in my sleep! Time will tell :)
Keep watching! And keep dreaming!
It's beautiful Louis as are your videos and all that you do to create the best possible. Just terrific. Thank you.
That is a beautiful boat. Not just or merely a beautiful skiff, which it certainly is. But I up class it to a beautiful boat of any type.
Man, I think you are the best educational, how-to, etc. You Tuber I've ever seen. You need a TV show you're a LOT more interesting than "This Old (crap)House" or whatever they call it. Subscribed!!! I agree with you -- "It's beautiful. It just is!"
I anticipate and enjoy each episode. Thanks for sharing with us, it's really great.
One heck of a nice work boat. Can’t wait to see all of the finishing touches you add.
It is great to see you so enthusiastic!
Huge fan of tillers over wheels. Wheels are convenient and pretty but with a tiller you can feel the balance of boat. This is much more evident when sailing. I brought a friend out on a 27' with a tiller for his first time sailing. Once he felt the tiller and got comfortable he had a blast.
Agreed!
Something oddly gratifying as an observer seeing it go together, can’t wait to see it finished
What beautiful lines, she's a beauty!
Leave the shear alone, it's perfect ‼️ I like the deep floor on the boat‼️⚓ Vinny 🇺🇸
What a stunning looking boat. The lines already are beautiful I can’t wait to see it completed and in the water it’s a real piece of work
Us too!

Lou, that is an awesome job!
Love your work and how you teach. Thank you.
Beautiful work
Another great video of a beautiful work !! Thanks
It is beautiful!!! Thank you, Lou : )
Thanks Lou, very nice.. My best for you and yours. Jim
Same to you!
Excellent travail 👍👍👍👍
Looks really good!
starting to love the boats you build as they have character,I'm used to Ali boats.
The ideal work for battery tools, and yes a slotted screw with a proper tapered shank in bronze is a boat screw ! I wonder if you can still get the huge stanchion screws we used to see ? Please don’t cut her down too far Louis !
I'm sure he'll cap the sheers with some kind of beam over the top of the planks
I can't wait for the next video!
Master! Regards and best wishes from Chile.
Thanks Bart! We hope to be back someday!
Let’s see…. Where to cut that shear???? I can’t wait to see!
looking awesome.
Just love it! Thanks Lou!!
Absolutely beautiful boat
upppsss, it is hell of a boat; more than a skiff.
So awesome . Wish I could be there and buy it .
Liking this boat.
Nice job excellent work 👍
Thanks 👍
Beautiful. I wondered what was happening with you and the V-bottom. Seems RUclips reset the notification bell. I've got a little catching up to do. Just a few videos behind. It'll begun watching 3 or 4 in row. 👍
That’s awesome Lou
Awesome work !!!!
You should blur out the name/number that is visible on the plank at 10:25 🙃
thank lou, wow!
I would love a build series on making a model for one of these boats one day.
Thanks Lou, looking forward to see you ripping in this one
You and me both!
That is one wide boat. Will this Boat handle Big Waves? I grew up on Lake Erie the western Side love you work and the input you give Us.
Beautiful boat
Well done good job !
This is a Beautiful boat
I believe you , it looks awesome
Your an incredible guy
Looks amazing!
I'll take a Robertson screw anytime over any other style myself.

However they're not as pretty or traditional as perhaps a straight slot when it comes to attaching fittings etc.
Send me bronze one ;)
I am curious as to where in Florida, the white Cedar was milled? Beautiful Lines! Thanks for sharing!

Hello , will this boat have a wash deck ? She has great lines , beautiful !

Has there ever been anyone who loves electric planes as much as this man?
I doubt it!

My reason for asking is I’m afraid if water penetrates the layers it could rot. Normal core has a 20 degree bevel off angle and it is sealed as an envelope of GRP.
Now thats what I call a GOOD boat video . Nice to see its all timber stuff not fibreglass crap.
Thanks 👍
Looking good
Your awesome.Thanks.
She's a big girl compared to the others I've watched you build. A big beauty!
A big thanks!
