OMG I always learn so much from Louis. It's amazing how he so easily reaches into his brain to explain all this stuff. I can't imagine anyone explaining this stuff in a more simple straight forward manner
More of these, please! I bought Chapelle's book on boatbuilding after hearing you mention it in an earlier video. It's brilliant and very detailed, but I hadn't gotten a page into it before he started using terms I had never heard of without defining them, and with a clear assumption that the reader understood! He does occasionally define terms, but a glossary would have been really helpful. I ended up also buying his books "American Small Sailing Boats" and "Yacht Designing and Planning". With the exception of not always defining terms, they are quite clear and easy to understand.
Lou, I have to say that I love watching your videos! Very rare amount of people being so enthusiastic and emotional about their work! I really love seeing that there are others out beeing so freaky as I am about tools, wood, operations, and boats! Please go on! best of regards from Vienna, Austria
When ever anyone finishes explaining something like this in detail I like to test their sense of humor and say " I'm sorry I didn't catch that". Luv Lou he is the Master of masters
Lovely video, Lou, and a great way to explain the nomenclature of different parts of a wooden boat. BTW, what you called "chocks" I know as "fairleads", those bronze fittings in the toe rail through which mooring lines, mostly, are led.
Lou is give a class on ship parts, I got about 80% from wooden model biulding. Now just to get the real thing, and use everything he has taught us. Now that would be a master class if we could get him into that. Great video Lou.
Yes no doubt , I know that I have been working on boats for over 40 years , worked at yards and Museums, and Chapelle's was dropped into my lap when I was 17 , it is a "Bible" of sorts. it takes time to absorb this stuff even if you are interested. I was lucky b because in the 70ts when I fist got interested in wooden boats in the Chesapeake, there were still some oldtimers around who were trained pre-WW2 in boat & yatch construction. The best way is by absorbing the knowledge then working on the boats . A nice introduction to terminology.
Good day Lou. This was a very enjoyable presentation and I have a couple of questions that you may wish to answer for me. Firstly, is there a reason that a boat would be carvel planked against a clinker design. Does the design relate to the purpose the boat is to be used for or just a preference for one design over the other? The other is a bit more mundane question about painting the hull. When a boat is being built or refurbished, how or when do they paint the part of the hull that is held up by those stands which I suppose stay there until the boat is launched. Does it leave a little section that is unpainted where the block is?
By and large, the same terms are used here in NE Scotland, though it's funny how many of the vowels differ. That might be a dialect thing. We say hid ends (pronounced hiddens) and ribbit for example. Stealer is not a term used to my knowledge, we'd use joggle (pronounced joogle) Which is also the term used for steps for deck plank ends. Caulking is pronounced kacking and an adze is refferd to as an eech. I guess there are local names for much more of this stuff, but, hey I've bored you enough.
Interesting that the propeller is offset. If I were to build a boat it would probably capsize immediately, but somehow having the propeller and shaft perfectly centered would be high on my list of things I should have done. (Thankfully I would probably die of old-age before I completed my masterpiece and therefore spared the indignity of viewing the rapid dismantling)
Good observation. Dawnell really doesn't like to back to port. Also you may have noticed that the prop is above and abaft the rudder. Sometimes I think the folks at the Alden office in 1938 figured if you didn't really know how to sail and needed an auxiliary, you'd take what they gave you.

I could watch Louis all day! :)
I just learned more in 15 min than I have in a month. Thanks lou!

Louis is keeping busy, great for us

Were learning all the time, especially with vids like this! CHEERS from Westcoast Canada!

Love listening to Lou, not quite sure why, am a complete land lubber. Must be my nautical ancestors!
Appreciate you sharing your knowledge, thank you. My brother was a shipwright and so much knowledge was lost when he passed on. More please.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You have been an inspiration Lou!

Now just to get the real thing, and use everything he has taught us. Now that would be a master class if we could get him into that. Great video Lou.
Wooden model building books are an excellent source for boat terms. Their illustrations cover even the smallest details.
Nice to see/hear the same terminology for boat parts used as we use in the UK, would have thought that there would be more differences.

Thanks for sharing your experience 👍🏻
Lou says he doesn't know it all, but I bet he's a lot closer to it than anyone else.
That's what I was thinking.
Fore shur
Thanks Lou.
I want to see a video about setting a boat up on those stands and how do you deal with having to access parts that are covered by them.
Good job Ken! Oh, you too Louis :)
Love the lines of the boat 👍😎🌞
Will there be a test on Monday ?
That's a great idea. Maybe we'll put one up on the BS website and get Lou to grade them. Multiple choice, short answer, matching or essay?
all is well when it is a 2 Louis day
I second that!!
Great information, learned a lot.

Great video! Can we have more of these?
We shoot two more. One on the outside of Evelyn and another inside. We will be posting them during coming months.

You have to move the props, try not to do them all at the same time !
@@CrimeVid Thanks. It has always been something that I wondered about.

Excellent stuff! Should be the prerequisite for watching Acorn to Arabela and Tally Ho :-)
Is that water pickup facing in the right direction?
Any chance you could talk about the A frame ladders next to the boat? They look home made.
You asked for it, we shot it. Hopefully, we'll post a video this weekend about how to make the A frames.
Hi!
I learned stuff! No surprise there. Maybe Lou can get up on deck and we can see if she has quarter bits.
bitts
Dolphin striker was my high school nickname.
What accent does this Gent have? He could talk South Shore Nova Scotian anyday. great Vid.
I think it's called Down East Accent.
Lou's an authentic Rhode Islander, but I hear you. Thanks for joining us.
And there was me thinking I could learn something about shipbuilding in my local city. Bristol England.
Rhode Island HaHaHa.
Bristol RI?

Where does the “Sponson” come in on that boat Lou?
She's pretty stable on her own and we carry no canons. Great question and term.
Come on Louis, we're still waiting to hear more about that Pan Head HD
I believe it's Lindsay's law : If the draft of your vessel exceeds the depth of the water, you're most assuredly aground.
Way to go Ken stop it with the poppet
What's a boat though?
Major Walter Wingfield.
I always thought Dave Chappelle was fond of wooden vessels.
Hoist the poop deck!
Fluff.
