This has been a great series. I'm not a boat builder but I am a woodworker and grew up by and live by the sea on Cape Cod. Watching you problem solve and follow through reminds me why I love working with wood. Thanks man. Very cool.
You have to think of it like a traditional form of a penetrating epoxy. It saturates beyond where a paint would go because there are no thickening compounds in it.
love the copper inserts look fabulous gives it a craftsman's touch. Good Job Mark!! impressive indeed. My luck I'd be shaving the edge of the Scully hole and tear a chunk of wood right off the edge of the hole. BTW, Mark are we going to see you Scully over the stern when you do your boat launch?
No sculling is going to happen on my watch. When I do get a chance to launch a boat, it’s all about avoiding any possible damage before delivery and I didn’t think to do anything protective on the notch.
Well, the International 2.4 -Work of Art, the Bouchie Dory - Art of work if you get my drift🥇I would have loved to have built the former and loved to own the latter.Probably explains why I have always drove a truck. 🏴☠Great work Mark.
Although as an apprentice I was told to never hit the hardened face of one hammer with another hammer because of the risk of cracking, Mythbusters showed this to be a fallacy (at least with quality tools). Quenching copper has the advantage of making a dramatic noise and can help clean off scale.
I’m aware of that hammer concern and yet blacksmiths seem to find reasons to do it all the time. Aa I was editing video I was wondering if someone would call me out on it. Glad mythbusters was on my side.
I’ve been looking forward to this all day🧐 Drugging doing the books and tax return🤮 All done so l can now relax and watch your hard work l already done 🎯 Addendum Great work can’t wait for the launching 🕺🤸♀️
Mark , another work of art. Looks great in the linseed finish, I hope the owners varnish it rather than painting it. I loved the way you made the copper eyes, brilliant. If McMasterCarr dont have it, you better make it yourself. I had a good laugh as you peened the ends of the copper with the hammer. My young Maltese terrier started growling at the hammer noise. He has a rising growl like, oooooOOOHHHH!! ; the sound an exasperated mother would make trying to bring a small child into line. He assumes he's a Great Dane most days, all 6 pounds weight of him.😂. I share your hate of the coping saw, a necessary evil. Your shop made one seemed to have more control. Bring on the next project.
The owner did start throwing varnish at the topside planking apparently but I haven’t seen it yet. Don’t know if any paint followed after. He’s across the pond in the Vancouver area.
Mark, I don't know what you've got coming up after this boat is launched, but if you are kicking around at a loose end looking for something to video, I personally would be very interested in seeing something of your video-ing set-up. Cameras, lighting, microphones, editing, and so on. I like your talking-whilst-working presentation style a lot, but that must come at the cost of microphones always handy, and so on. An estimate of your hours per week on making these films would be great.
I've thought about doing something like that. I wasn't sure if any of my audience would be remotely interested. I'm pretty much the opposite of a tech junky so I certainly wouldn't have much advice to bring to the table. That sad, it took a while to find a workable combination of things to get where I am today and maybe other aspiring video makers can learn from my experiences a bit.
@@Nomadboatbuilding It's the very fact that you're not a tech junky which would make the video so useful. Try and follow any other Youtber's "how to" video and in seconds flat you're floundering under a tidal wave of jargon.
Where on earth did you find an F clamp with that "Y" foot? Brilliant bit of kit. That's a lovely little detail, that copper sleeve. I just typed out......"you need to make yourself a frame saw".....when you picked up the tool you should have used from the start. Absolute bonus that your customer finished the boat themselves. Great result Mark. I mean, it's a funny little boat, but beautifully built. Thanks for another wonderful little series of videos.
I don’t remember where I found that clamp but I have never seen one before or since. I thought they would be the bomb for boat work but to be honest I very rarely find a real use for them beyond the example you just saw. Good thing I only bought two.
Just so you know - hammer on hammer is VERY DANGEROUS (use a strip of leather, metal or something between the hardened metals, to prevent shattering - shards fly VERY fast. Flesh won’t stop their flight path. Otherwise, I really like the build, nice job 👍
Mark, this has been a fascinating build! Thanks for sharing. Do you have one of an ultralight kayak build or might there be one in the future? I would really enjoy watching you do that type of project.
I'm about to start a skin-on-frame (SOF) kayak project. It's kind of a weird one in which I have been tasked with producing an SOF version of a fibreglass design that was based on a traditional SOF kayak type. We'll also be adding a retracting skeg and deck hatches. I wasn't planning on a detailed video but I may do a single length episode jumping through the process. I won't be building it as I would normally do. I'll cover it on IG for sure.
@@trout4bait549 Well I stopped releasing the Bouchie Dory videos a little while after I started the 2.4mR series. I felt it was messing people up jumping back and forth. So basically, this project was two other boats ago. This boat went out the door the summer before Covid started or there abouts.
This has been a great series. I'm not a boat builder but I am a woodworker and grew up by and live by the sea on Cape Cod. Watching you problem solve and follow through reminds me why I love working with wood. Thanks man. Very cool.
My pleasure. I’m glad you’re enjoying the series.
Pairing the rowloc looked really satisfying 👍 you clearly enjoy what you do, thank you for sharing 🙂
When your chisel is sharp and you have the right bit of wood, it’s a dream.
I'm so glad and so sad to see this project come to an end, it's been a heck of a ride. Thank you.
My Pleasure
I'm not an ASMR guy, but that cedar getting a paring cut with a sharp chisel is very satisfying sounding.
I was thinking of dropping a soundtrack over it but then I figured you would get the warm fuzzies if I didn’t.
You are truly a fine craftsman. The sound of the chisel alone is so telling of the artistry involved. I appreciate your video series.
Thanks
When you had that big chisel cutting cross grain it was beautiful. A sharp chisel is for schizel!
You are right!
Spectacular result. Well bloody done sir. 🇨🇦
Beautiful. Glad I had the opportunity to come all and look on over your shoulder...cheers...rr
Glad you enjoyed it
And yet you were no where to be found when he needed someone to hold the back up iron and he had to buy a 3 jaw clamp😉
@@lunkydog who do you think was holding the camera?
That's right. Give'm heck Bob! Of course, you weren't much help either.
@@NomadboatbuildingI was working remotely due to your country's Covid restrictions....
Again, excellent work Mark. Another beautiful art piece that can actually be used. Loved the hat too. Have a good week.
Good Morning Mark
Howdy Pard.
It’s a dory…and a sculpture. Beautiful work!
Good timing; France-Italy Rugby Match just ended...cheers...rr Normandy, France
Wow Factor through the roof!!!
I did not know that about the boiled linseed as a diluted primer, nice one 👍
You have to think of it like a traditional form of a penetrating epoxy. It saturates beyond where a paint would go because there are no thickening compounds in it.
Damn that's one sharp chisel!
That’s the way I like'm!
The brass work was a beautiful and functional touch.

You bet!

I certainly got a lot out of building the 2.4mR but that stuff really isn’t my thing. I'll take a workboat project over a yacht any day.
Great one - thanks!
What are you doing goofing off on RUclips? You're supposed to be making your own video.
@@Nomadboatbuilding Haha, I guess your're right. But, you know, I need to learn from the best to keep my own game going!

I think you coped very well considering you hate that saw... This boat looks amazing, true art.

Beautiful work Marc!! Just out of curiosity...why did your client opt to finish the boat himself?
Just a cost saving measure. He was on a bit of a budget.
Passionnément interessant merci j apprend beaucoup bien a vous de france
And here, I’m going to use the coping saw….
Aka: sawzall😆😆😆
Just so you know - hammer on hammer is VERY DANGEROUS (use a strip of leather, metal or something between the hardened metals, to prevent shattering - shards fly VERY fast. Flesh won’t stop their flight path.
Otherwise, I really like the build, nice job 👍
Well I am aware of this hazard but someone else brought up that mythbusters debunked that idea. I always have my safety glasses on just the same.

Water is coming!
All in, how long did it take you to make this boat?
I don’t recall the exact number but 250-275 hours is a general ball park. I may discuss it in the next video.
@@Nomadboatbuilding So, I had to go look... Part 1 was uploaded Oct 18, 2018 ...we've got 4 years and change in this boat ;)
