I really enjoy watching Lou give advice and tips. Even if I have been using a trick for years it is good to watch Lou pass on the information. And yes, I do learn a new trick now and then.
I’ve always used a version of your slot cutter but the screw sucker is a new one for me. I’ll have to try that. Being in Canada I encounter Robertson screws much of the time so I use a square shank awl to clean out my screw heads and a nice sharp Robby bit hammered in to clean up the profile. I have a few other tricks up my sleeve for when that doesn’t work though.
I like you video’s very much, learn some things every time. What you mentioned about the planks that get off the frames in the bilges area: I have seen it very extreem when a Bantry Bay Gig was put on a trailer with no (or too low) support at the stem and stern. That way the whole hull will distort in a way like bending a metal tube. In the middle the tube will flatten one side and will get wider square to that side. Thats what happens to any old hull where the two most heavy parts: the stem and the stern, are having no support by the water displacement and will pull downwards and different like it has in the mid section, where it is pushed upwards. The part where the hull gets wider is at the bilges. Or am I wrong?
The tools and tips are great. I like the part about using screwdrivers for an easy start of a tool with a haft and handle ready made. I used two old Philips to make a right and a left handed pull shave set for chair making. I wonder if an old Philips could be used for getting out bronze Philips screws with the cross slots filled up with old paint, resin, bedding compound. Little teeth could be cut in the driver edges with a Dremel so that a rocking motion that would clear the stuff out of the screw head. I know I'll try that next time.
Another reason why it pays to watch Lou's videos. It's like having a trusted old uncle who is a master craftsman and who lets you hang around in the shop with him. That kind of teaching can't be bought.
I went out and got myself a bastard to sharpen the scraper. I like these tools especially because I can make them myself. Does the slot cutter get dull?
Lou, start selling these tools at Home Depot.... I'd buy them and I don't think I'm alone. Love your videos, been watching Tips from a Shipwright and just stumbled on this channel. I can't get enough even though I'll never build a boat.
Nice tool but I suspect often when the screw metal is detoriated this will break the head into two parts. As there are at least two different tools to remove screws with broken heads, I'd be curious to see how you remove these. Same goes for screws which still don't move after cutting a fresh slot. And at last how do you recognize if the screw is shearing off while turning and what do you do then? This video is only the very start of removing screws.
Awesome tips. Many applications other than boats. Lou, hope you have a long line of apprentices working under you. Fine work, I have been watching your channels, the Total Boat build and this series. Hoping your skills and knowledge are being passed on. Enjoy watching your work.
Ah, yes, the slot cutter. I recall seeing you do this during a previous build/repair on another channel. I nearly immediately copied your idea, only I ground it from a Co5 HSS rod, so that I could slot even hardened screws. I have used it many times since!
my suspicions are validated, those people who come in and fix your problem after you have frustrated yourself for hours must have tricks and tools learned over many years. Great video thanks for sharing your tips
Damb it!!!! Just discovered this channel and Im in love with it. Was Looking forward to binge watching all the videos but you only have a few!! Damb it!!! Lol Great channel and I'm really looking forward to your future videos. Thanks for taking the time to share these!
Brilliant we're taking apart a piano from 1911 - my gawd we could use some of these tools as there are hundreds of glued in flat (or slotted) screws. Uggg....
So, an engraving chisel made from a long phillips bit and a narrowed wide blade flat screwdriver with an undercut tip to grab the lip of the slot. Got it. That will come in handy in a furniture repair shop and an old home repair business as well as the boat-house. Thanks Lou.
Drill the heads out, pull the board, then cats paw or what ever works for you to pull the remaining nail from the wood member underneath. There is also a tool that can be driven in to grab the nail and pry it out, but it will damage the outer board, so unless you are sure you are replacing the plank, that tool is a bad idea.
Yeah, but you don't know if the plank is being replaced until you get inside to inspect the cause of the cornering. If it is a broken frame, the plank is probably reusable after the frame is sistered/repaired.

Such a great tip. I'd love it if you gave a step by step instruction on how to find one of these slot cutters and screw pullers. Any chance? Thanks

No reason why you couldn't under cut a square bit driver to make a puller like his slotted puller. Same idea, just four sides instead of two.
Thomas Russell well I figure I may just have to try that next time I’m in need. All new builds for me at the moment though so hopefully I won’t need.
Great craftsman tend to have made their own tools!
that was a great video, just like all the others

Worn out slots are the reason I don't like slotted screws. I am going to make this tool.
Lou... Great tips, keep it up!

This is very useful advice, thank you so much! I might not work on boats, but I've struggled with plenty rusty screws in wood.

It stays sharp for a surprisingly long time with bronze screws. I would cut slots in ss screws, but you'll have to sharpen it much more often.
Great ideas from a great guy

RUclips felt I needed to see this.
I’m not mad
Great techniques! Now where can I find those all steel Phillips head screw drivers?
Could you link to sharp, large pics of the slot cutting tool and the screw lifting tool? From this video, I do not see the full geometry.
Good Idea Paul. We'll see if we can get some shots up on the gallery of the website: bristolshipwrights.com
great information , even better that you choose to share it.
very nice
Can you use a cbn wheel?
I've never used one, but I'll ask Lou if he has. But from what I've heard about cubic boron nitride, it should do an excellent job.
Thanks for making these! It's great and appreciated.
If this world would have more skilled workers and less sport stars it would benefit more the mankind.

Lou! What`s all this then? A seceret channel of yours? Cool!
I have used a slot cleaner for years, never thought of a slot puller though !
Now I want to see what’s actually wrong with the boat.
Thanks for watching. We'll be sure to di a video on the repair in the not too distant future.
@@BristolShipwrights thanks, left me wondering too. Love the tool tip, but peaked my interest as to the boat's damage too.
Made from a Phillips screwdriver!

Yes Lou is great. I just wish he would come to the PNW and show us how he removes galvanized ship nails !

If you're replacing the plank, just cut the wood.
Yeah, but you don't know if the plank is being replaced until you get inside to inspect the cause of the cornering. If it is a broken frame, the plank is probably reusable after the frame is sistered/repaired.
@@thomasarussellsr He said in the video he was replacing the plank.
