- In this episode of building Victoria, Arabella's tender, Boat builder Bob Emser shows some secrets to fairing a hull. From hand planning, long boarding and using fairing compound the small 9'Dinghy starts to take shape. In addition to explaining some fairing tools, Bob also show how to shape and install the boats keel and outer stem. Victoria will be the sailing tender for Steve Dennete's boat Arabella as seen on the RUclips cannel Acorn to Arabella.

Bob is the embodiment of the word fastidious.
Thanks!
I really enjoy watching all of the handwork that goes into wooden boat building
That boat is going to cut through the water really good. I bet Steve is loving the progress and how good it's coming out.
You make me feel that time doesn’t matter, perfection does.
The keel turned out beautifully, Bob.
I really like the aesthetic of the boat and keel line, the way that you have faired it in. Looking forward to the fibre glassing stage Bob.
Thanks. Fiberglass next episode!
Bob, your knowledge, craftsmanship and patience are joys to behold. She's looking beautiful!
Just love how the keel and stem transformed the look of the boat.
It is always wonderfully relaxing watching a skilled craftsman at work.
What a beautiful boat... I know it had to be done, but I started to cry when you began to cover all that pretty wood with fairing compound.
I wish I could have faired my boat in less than 20 minutes! Well done - she looks great!
Me too!
If you think that only took 20 minutes, you need to step away from the chemical fumes and get some fresh air, like right now!
This was an excellent episode. Really enjoy seeing several aspects covered on a longer video.
Hi Mark,
Glad you enjoyed it!
It is wonderful to watch an artist at work. You are producing a great boat.
I know they asked for paint but your work would have made an outstanding varnish finish. Still, it will be beautiful. 👍👍 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
She is coming along beautifully! Great work-so pleasing to watch!
Now that is a beautiful little boat! That one really fits your motto.
It is even aesthetically pleasing to watch you work. Not only do you make it beautiful, you even make it beautifully.
I came to your channel via Steve/A to A, and having watched all the Victoria videos so far, I have to say, your craftsmanship makes for heart warming watching session!
You really need to go watch his tool making videos, and his other two boat builds. They are all so worth the watch.
Bob, terrific work as always. I'm sure Steve's crew on Arabelle are capable of doing an excellent job of fairing and finishing A2A's hull but I would just love to see what you could accomplish.on her hull after seeing your work on the dingy. In any event your new dingy will obviously look terrific sitting on Arabelle's cabin roof.
Glad your here! Take care and thanks for sharing 😊
The shape is pleasing to the eye. A true working piece of art.
You make this look so easy. Also, thank you for pointing back to previous videos. I enjoyed learning how you made the fairing tool in S2-E27.
She is coming right along Bob and looking great. Thank you for the video and for teaching us about boat building.
Misery boards is not what I have known them by, but torture boards. I faired a 38 ft catamaran by myself doing what you have just shown.
She’s beautiful. Impressive workmanship. Bravo!
You're doing a wonderful job, I love it!
Are you intending to put in a front door? I guess in a boat this small they are more for aesthetics but they do look nice.
By front door are you referring to a hatch in the front bulkhead? If so no. It will be a flotation chamber. There will be lockers in the center and aft seat.
Thanks for watching!
I guess he is referring to the front door that has been made for tally ho in the episode yesterday..
surely was referring to yesterday’s TallyHo episode. It was an epic April fools prank.
@@mm-hl7gh :) The front door on Victoria would be more like a cat flap but heh. Just my attempt at humour.
Looks Great!!
Great job!!
Beautiful work, Bob!
Great video !
Very satisfying. It's certainly beautiful.
Talk about somebody having OCD. Awesome work man!
As a non-American viewer of your videos i appreciate it very much you're using metric measurements descriptions in addition to imperial ones.
Just one remark as a former wood worker: with increasing precision we tend to use millimeter (mm) rather than centimeter (cm).
So 1.9 cm would be 19 mm and 12.7 cm would be 127 mm (talking about 1 cm is okay though).
Nevertheless thank you for your great work !
Great work sir.
You never disappoint in the quality of your videos and your work Bob. Victoria is looking svelte. Looking forward to seeing the glass go on and her turned upright. Thank you and have a great week ahead.
Sure is beautiful, great work!
Fun to watch. Rings back some memories on past boats I’ve built. Thanks
Thanks for the video
Work of art ! Congrats ! Looking forward to the next episode.
Fantastic job Bob! It is looking so beautiful! Thanks for sharing
great work Bob looking fantastic.
Looking good Sir!
Thanks again for sharing your craft.
You my friend, are a remarkable craftsman.
Well Bob I have you got that last part right! It's looking beautiful.
I am so enjoying your build, Bob. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
First class content, really enjoyed this episode
The stem looks good she's all faired up just about ready for some epoxy work.. looks great thus far Bob. cheers bud.
Thanks 👍
You're certainly making it look beautiful. Enjoyed watching.
Looking good
Nice to watch a professional at work, thanks
Nice work. I have found when I run my hands over the fairing/sanding area, that I close my eyes. Seems to heighten sensitivity by concentrating on what you feel, not what you see.
Indeed! I do the same.
A work to art.
Beautiful! ❤
Cheers from Alaska
Ah!
No one could make it any better!
Keep up the good work 👍
JIM❤
Thank you very much!
You do magnificent work. Makes me want to run my hand across the hull. Beautiful.
Thanks David!
No other channel on RUclips does it better. This channel inspires me to get into the shop every time. Keep up the great content
Awesome! Thank you!
Excellent work friend, I bet Steve will be pleased, have a nice day !!!. Brian UK !!!. 🌊🌊.
Many thanks
I enjoy watching a skilled craftsman at work. great job it looks like Victory will move through the water nicely.
Está quedando hermoso.Saludos.
Beautiful work, perfect
Thank you! Cheers!
Love your style sir. Very informative at every step.
I appreciate that!
Beautiful, Bob! That's a real work of art! 😃
Perhaps some day I try to build... A canoe. 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I wish I could feel the smooth wood after your arduous sanding! I’m sure it’s rewarding!
I wish you could too!
Such beautiful work, Bob. You definitely raise the bar.
Thanks I try!
The little vessel is really coming to life.
Wonderful 👍... Goodonyas!
Thank you! Cheers!
A work of art as always. Looks beautiful. Really enjoy your videos. And I do not miss the music. I like the sound of your tools.
Thank you! Cheers!
Looking really good
Thanks
Victoria will be beautiful. Nice work.
Thank you! 😊
Amazing craftsman! Really beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
Very nice
Thanks
A True Craftsman a new Sub here
Thanks, welcome aboard!
Metric units in subtitle - wonderful 😊
Thanks for the confirming comment.
Your Barber needs to be commended too.
Really enjoy watching you work. When I do this sort of work and also following Louis Sauzedde, Nick Schade
and also Mark Reuben Nomad boat building I paint the two surfaces to be bonded with unthickened epoxy before applying the thickened. I think the theory is that the wood (particularly the cedar) will absorb the resin from the thickened before it sets up and the joint won’t be as strong.
To me it looked like for the fairing compound you used fairy dust! beautiful curves taking shape.
very satisfying to watch such a craftsman - my dad on the other hand would say he can watch other people work for hours
love what your doing, absolutely boatiful (see what i did there)
And Victoria lives on in the tender. She's Beautiful and will look Great on Arabella
Bob, that looks like more of a workout than your Crossfit. Beautiful job.
It sure feels like it. Thanks for watching!
Bob, you are a master! I love watching you work.. I live in Washington State now, but was raised and grew up just down the road from Eureka. I graduated from Washington CommunityHigh in 1957. As a kid, I spent a great amount of time at or on Eureka Lake. Were you there, Eureka, that far back?
Hi Joe, Thank you!
I grew up in East Peoria, graduated in 1972. We spent a occasional picnic/family reunion at the lake. I moved to Eureka as a young adult for Eureka College where I taught for 13 years. Launched my first boat in Eureka Lake.
Thanks for watching.
Cheers,
Bob
So much love and care is going into Victoria, really looking forward to watching the next episode. Are you on target to have it ready the the launch of Arabella ?
I certainly hope so! As I map out the tasks I pretty confident that Victoria will get wet along side of Arabella.
Cheers,
Bob
Love to build a small sail boat like this. Have to finish my cedar strip kayak first lol
Do as I say not as I do. "One boat at a time is best!" When you're ready for the next boat you may be interested in my boat building clinic.

Great Stuff!!! And I hear a bird or birds in the background that we dont have in our neighbourhood! Viewing from westcoast Canada! CHEERS from HERE!!!
I do love the bird sounds. Great sign that spring is near.
Those were Northern Cardinals-The State Bird of Illinois
I'm wondering if you flushed out all the screw holes with solvent to allow the compound to adhere properly? Beautiful work as usual!
It's hard to resist reaching out and feeling for fairness of the hull
Hi,it is becoming a beautiful little boat,I love the softness of the curves.wil you be fitting half round bead irons to the keel as protection when possibly running onto a beach?Roly🇬🇧
One of the reasons I used Black Locust is because of its hardness. It will be coated it fiberglass and resin so it will be very durable. I will add a couple of half rounds at the bulge for protection. Whether they or brass or wood is yet to be determined.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely no NEED to go to the gym when fairing a hull, big or small I would imagine...Great video cheers...rr
Great job so far. Roughly how many hours would you have into this project so far ? Thanks for the videos.
No clue! hard to calculate all of the planning and design time. Which if you ask my wife I'm doing all the time.
Thanks for watching!
I love that you are making a “Tally Ho” style dingy for Arabella.
Hi Richard,
The dinghy is based on a William Atkin design. Arabella is an Atkin design boat. It is Steve desire that the designs work together. So I hope you'll love the "Arabella" style dinghy for Arabella.
Thanks for watching!
Bob
@@TheArtofBoatBuilding , I meant no disrespect. My Tally Ho reference was a remark about the ultra high quality of workmanship.
I remember the olden days when you turned a screw in by hand
Bob, a guy like you, probably 6'2 or better should make some taller saw horses and reduce that steep bend to get over your work! Your craftsmanship is certainly evident in every step!
I wish barely 5'-10" and shrinking!
Fair and tender....
Really enjoy your channel. Just wondering if there will be an episode 15 for season 3? Cheers!
Indeed there will. S3-E15 will be posted this weekend.
Excellent! Thank you so much.
I watched the older video, about making the tool, but by mistake I watched the wrong one where you were using the fairing compound. Why did you keep it out of the gaps between the planks on that boat, but on this boat you made it a point to fill them? Thanks.
In the older video the Haven hull was carvel planked. This traditional method relies on the hull swelling up to seal the seams. In the dinghies strip planking the planks are intended to be glued together, hence filling the steams. The dinghy will be fiberglassed inside and out where the Haven only gets paint.
Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
@@TheArtofBoatBuilding Thank you!
While I have thoroughly enjoyed your work with the Art of Boat Building I am looking for references for your sculpture work prior. I have a high school friend form the 60's who is an artist in bent wood. Rick Maxwell now lives in Dallas but we knew each other around Chicago. Please lead me toward your previous efforts. Thank You. Craig sends

Thanks for you interest
Great episode.
Q: Is there a rule how far aft one may place the joint between stem and keel?
Only the rule of logic.
Thanks for watching!
Great work. When the hull is finished will you be handing it over to Steve and Co to do the fibreglass work, or will you be doing this as well?
Hi Steve,
I'll be finishing the boat completely and be ready to launch along side of her mothership in June!
@@TheArtofBoatBuilding Excellent thanks. Looking forward to the future episodes.
Bob, Acetone effects your nervous system. Use a carbon filter mask. Make sure your gloves are as resistant to acetone degradation as possible and not permeable to it. Not all gloves are the same. The MSDS should tell you what sort to wear.
Beautiful work, Bob. What is the cutout for on the back of the keel?
It’s for the skeg.
Having made a strip-built kayak myself I appreciate how much time, effort, and skill went into the construction of this hull. From a practical perspective, though, I wonder if using strips of extruded foam (e.g. divinycell) rather than cedar would not only have been a much easier way to achieve the same look (once painted) but might be "better" in that it could be lighter, stronger, and more buoyant (possibly "unsinkable"). It's a question not an assertion though - if the molds are still set up it might be a relatively simple experiment for Bob to conduct (assuming he'd want to build another set of the "bright" finished panels for the transom, bulkhead, etc. of course)
Hi Steve,
A foam core is absolutely possible. Part of this project, as with Arabella, is the idea and philosophy to reuse and locally source materials. Steve and I are on the same page about the majority of the boat materials being from the original Victoria. Also why he wants it named Victoria.
You're correct the process would have gone faster. The process would have even gone faster if I had used new bead and cove cedar strips.
Not planning on a second build. I can make to molds available for another builder if they so desire.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers,
Bob
@@TheArtofBoatBuilding that certainly makes sense, and craftsmanship is never a "waste of time" even if the results are hidden under paint or behind a wall. I appreciate what you do - thanks for the response.
Do you use a batten to see if the curves are fair in addition to going by feel? I think that'd take a couple helpers...
Yes, I do use a batten it check fairness over a long distance.
It's beautiful work I like it
But I find one spot. Which is need put putty on left side of it near stem
Ha Ha! You missed April Fools day but good one anyway.
