Back in the 70’s I was a parachute rigger in the navy. I never made sails but we pretty much sewed everything else and used all the tools you bought, plus we bought zippers in large rolls and made them to length. Looks like you have about everything you’ll need. I really enjoy your videos, happy sewing and sailing!
Hey Shipmate! One of the riggers in our squadron made me a bag back in 1987 to use on liberty. I still have it today. Although I was Navy like you, the bag was yellow with red trim. I love that bag, even if it looks like it was made for a Marine. Happy Birthday to Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children! Ooo-rah to the Corps!
And a Happy Veterans Day to you.
I'm not sure whether you want Bob to take up skydiving or parasailing from the sailboat.
That was a fun video. When the snow flies, it's time to break out the machines.
If Sailrite don't paid you to do these Bob, they should do it now. Best merchandise you can get.
Bob, as the son of a seamstress and a guy who does a bit of sewwing myself, I quilt and make drapes and such; if you read on in the manual that came with your machine, before raising the foot and removing your sewn piece, use the wheel on the right to raise the needle and the eyelet at the top of the machine above the action to the top. That eye raising draws your last stitch tight and at its top most position let's you also be sure your needle is at the highest reach and completely out of the way. It can be easy to catch the tip of the needle with your fabric and a slight bend can cause a lot of problems like the needle stabbing into the foot or base of the machine, missing the bobbin loop, and throwing the tension off causing looping on one side of your stitching. Also make sure to read the section on bobbin and top thread tensions. Machine cleaning and maintenance is important for the longevity of this equipment as well. Either the manufacturer or a sewing machine shop should do this maintenance. There are super fine adjustments that must be maintained for any sewing machine to last it's longest life. Additionally, canned air is your friend. Blow all lint and dust out of the underside before storing the machine, and check the manual for lubrication points.
This looks like a well built and sturdy machine. One comment. Can’t wait to see the plastic timing belt cover to break so Bob can replace it with a cast bronce replacment. That would be a nice video. 😂
Roland, you must be a mind reader!
Cheers,
Bob
I have a LSZ-1 too and the machine paid for itself quickly doing sail repair and adding reef points among other boat related projects…. The instructional videos and the included manuals are top notch for a total newb like myself to learn sewing…. Customer service is top-notch… Go support a US company….
Well done threading that needle so smoothly, and on camera no less! I get that far, and then often have to break out the tweezers and lights and magnifiers and so on.
My thoughts also. Show off. Haha
That is a fine looking machine Bob. I'm sure it won't take you long to become proficient. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
I have the worker B and love it. I’ve had it 3 years now and definitely a learning curve with lots of projects. Sailrite has some excellent RUclips DIY projects. Excellent production and instruction. I have completed dozens of projects but have not put a sail together. I am seriously considering building the Haven sails and all. So I will be watching the master as he walks us through the process. Thank you Bob!!
The level of detail you demand for yourself is humbling to an orc hobbyist like me.
Nice, I will be looking forward to when you start the sails over the winter.
WOW I have not heard about Sailrite in years, I had looked into getting a jib kit for a sailboat my wife and had at the time.
A beautiful machine for making sails. Thanks for sharing Bob!
I have purchased from sailrite and agree they are an excellent company They carry a lot more than just sail supplies
That is a great machine and a very good assembly video. Thank you Bob.
Really fantastic equipment, Bob! Congrats! 😃
I want to get a sewing machine some day!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
my mom was a semterst that was a barebones operation. Love your channel.
I’m all caught up. I want to thank you for a very enjoyable and informative series.
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Thank you for the review. I hope the sail project is a success. Safe travels.
So cool....I've been waiting for a new vid from you.... love your content and your attention to detail. 😁
as always very useful information
Great stuff 🙂
I used my Juki to sew the sails for my Caledonia Yawl this past winter. Jeff at Sailrite took care of me as well. A jib, Gunter main, and a gaff Mizzen in tanbark. The kit was easy to follow. Good luck!
Have had a Sailrite Ultrafeed for years. Have done all my canvas work and sail repairs with it. It will do the job for you. Be sure to practice be for you start. Cheers!
I'm pretty your sails are going to turn out just fine considering the quality of every other thing I'm seen you build thus far on this channel. cheers bob. btw that looks like a nice quality sewing machine.
Late to the party, just catching up on my video watching. Long time owner of an LSZ-1 with nine of their sail kits under the presser foot. Good company, the kits are well thought out and the directions clearly written. Haven't gone far as to build a table or cut a hole in the floor (though it has been considered) but a low platform with a hole in it for the machine has been very useful. Think of it as a run-off table like you have for a tablesaw, you need to keep the sail rolled up to pass under the arm as you add panels, it is helpful to keep the whole assembly on one level. I work off the floor so there's not a lot of up and down. Watch for debris in the doublesided tape used to baste the panels together, I have a few cat hairs in all my sails keeping me company.
Thanks for the tips. Looking forward to my sail making project!
Thanks for watching!
Cheers,
Bob
Thanks! very inspiring channel in all respects.
Thank you!
Thank you
Look at the back of the seam & make sure the tension of the thread on both sides is even... Don't know much, but my Dad fixed industrial machines for many years and he always emphasized having a balanced stitch for strength, durability and looks. Good luck with your new machine!
Nice
Had no idea they have such small machines for big sails.
Hmmm, I thought the last two years I have been faithfully watching (and enjoying) this channel was simply about a sculptor who got sidetracked and made a boat now I hear you say the boat shop and I think maybe has Bob retired the hammer and chisel ? Will the metal fab tools slowly rust? Regardless I do enjoy these thanks for putting them out. But... if you did want to sculpt a nice little figurehead for the new sailboat I'd be sure and watch😉
Indeed, I did say boat shop. In my heart it is a studio. I’ve had many discussions about what one calls a place to build boats. My Welsh friend was confused when we say “boat shop” thinking it’s a place to sell boats. They call it a “boat shed”. So whether it’s a boat shop, shed, yard, or studio it’s still a place to build beautiful boats.
I do have a sculptural surprise in store for the Haven. So stay tuned it will get exciting.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers,
Bob
Just in case there is confusion, those hole punch set you showed us is simply used with a hammer. Inserting them into a drill (as you say in the video) would twist and tear the fabric and would not provide the high impact force needed to cut through the fabric. I always enjoy your videos, and I hope to buy a Sailrite sewing machine myself someday!
Hi Drew,
Here is a link to a video by Sailrite that demonstrates the drill hole cutter.

I’m enjoying my sewing machine and expect you will to when you get one.
Thanks for watching!
Bob
@@TheArtofBoatBuilding I stand corrected! I have never seen such a thing. I think you'd have to punch/cut a lot of holes to justify the $120 pricetag, but if you are already investing in the LSZ-1, what's another 10%
Hi Bob. I have to ask if you have done any sewing before? Your new machine looks great. Right tool for the job is what I say. You look like you are having so much fun.
Yes, I’ve been doing sewing projects for quite awhile. One of my first projects was reupholstering a second hand couch for my first apartment while in college. I later incorporated sewing in sculptures. I’ll show some in an upcoming video. In one of my early videos I can be seen sewing while
adapting a boat cover. I’m very much looking forward to the sail project. As a self confessed tool junkie I’m excited to as you said get the “Right tool for the job”
Cheers,
Bob
Missed out on the obvious 'sew much fun'... pun. ;)
Bonus - you can also sew some leathers with that baby.
I have watched all of season 2 and want to thank you for a look into an artist's work. I feel like I was looking over Micheal Angelo:s shoulder while he was working on The Pieta, except you built it up instead of finding the art buried in marble.
Do you have an estimate on the time you took for this? I hope this boat will be sailed and enjoyed, Have you named her yet?
Again, thanks for sharing this project with us.
Yes, she is name “Skylark”
It’s really hard to estimate time as I feel like half of the time I’m adjusting lighting and camera shots. I think a first time builder with strong woodworking skills minus videoing could build a Haven in20-30 months.
Lots more Season 2 to come.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers,
Bob
💙
Bob will you be completing this build once Victoria goes back to Steve?
Yes, that’s the plan.
@@TheArtofBoatBuilding Thanks Bob, I recently found your channel and have been watching all your videos
Next you need a hole in the ground to have the machine at floor level. Like in a sail loft.
In a sail loft they quite often have a supersize elevated table with a notch for the operator and the sewing machine to sew large sails…
I'm curious to know how your practice has been going with the machine. Does it jam up easily? I got a very simple sewing machine (to sew sails for a boat I never built). I used it for some canvas projects, but I found that it jammed up all the time, and it was very frustrating to use. I assume this more powerful and advanced model does better. I look forward to hearing what you have to say. If and when I do build a boat, I'd like to sew my own sails. The investment in a quality machine like this one may be worth it.
In the past I've sewn on our home machine. Doing upholstery and canvas project the Pfaff machine did fine but struggled a bit. So far the Sailrite machine has out performed my expectation. I feel it was well worth the expense.
You didn't mention the bobbin did you?
Hi Steven,
I did not. The machine came loaded with one. I’ll show winding and installing a bobbin in future videos.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers,
Bob
Bob, where did you get your watch?
I designed the watch and had it made. I’ve given some to family and close friends and supporters. I haven’t made it available for purchase (yet) as I’m not sure I want to open the eCommerce door. I would be interested in if viewers would like one.
Thanks for watching!
Cheers
Bob
@@TheArtofBoatBuilding I’m surprised you had it made. After all … 😅
Nice machine Bob. Do yourself a favour and get a good pair of tailor scissors. It will save you a lot of frustration
Did I see your logo on your watch face?
Indeed you did.
Thanks for noticing!
Cheers,
Bob
