This video makes me feel real good watching. You so love building this boat and it’s wonderful to see your Grandpa too. He’s not much older than me and seeing him so fit and healthy makes me realise that it’s so important to be fit and healthy. You are an amazing young man Steve and so is Alix and the rest of these guys who help out, truly a great example to the younger generations. I must remember to skip forward in time to see your launch … I hope to goodness. I haven’t missed it… I will check after I’ve watched this episode. Thanks again for taking the time to record and share your work with all the lovely people out there
RUclips brought me here via a 2 year old upload of the lead keel. As a 50 year old woman living in the UK, not near any water, please explain how I'm so fascinated?? 😂 I have subscribed to binge watch your content.
Timeless quality workmanship has a way of attracting the curious as well as the devoted fans of the ancient art of boat building. Consider yourself an official groupie....lol.
Dear Samantha Baines. 👍👌👏 Yeah, these guys are really great. I'm addicted to this channel although I don't like sailing (with mono hulls) and don't live near water too. I came here from great Leo Gooldens channel Sampson Boat Co.. This fantastic English guy "restores" 110 yo Tally Ho. I bet you will like this too (I highly recommend to watch it from the beginning). Maybe you will also like channel Mr. Chickadee, an amazing impressive woodworker (everything is done without electric respectively machine tools). Best regards, luck and health.
*Steve, you are are a good teacher. Thanks. Good to see you get your frames let-in over the bronze X-bracing. Mechanical drawing on wood is how curves and even shapes with parabolic gradients were done by stone masons, so far as I know. The totality of your inventive choreography of editing and tutorial efforts really make your striving and efforts so much more rich for your growing audience, I am sure. So, congratulations to all involved.*
Wow it looks amazing seeing all the frames in and NO moulds! It amazes me, you would think that the planks would pull the ribs in together but when you think about it, all the frame and ribs can’t change shape because of all the rivets. With a curve the forces trying to flatten the curves are restricted because to flatten a curve you have to shorten the length of the timber. It’s incredible how it works. ❤
(As a non-woodworking, non-sailing follower) I had no idea how that deck beam marking jig was supposed to work - and then as soon as you & Grandpa got your hands on it, magically it became totally clear! Brilliant! Also, Akiva is clearly bestest dog today!
Great show chaps, good to see all the frames are in, and the wide angle the view of the boatshed and Arabella at 12.22, makes her almost look like a rowing boat. Cheers from the UK
Hahaha,absolutely the same here in the UK with B & Q. Not that I would buy boat timber from B & Q. Don’t know why people buy any timber from them! Come to think of it! why did I buy it? Guess it’s easier than going to the real trade suppliers.Caveat Emptor!
Ive just calculated that you have made approximately 50-55 hours of content here. That means that I have spent over 2 full days watching your videos! Not a minute was wasted!
I’m a year behind you but have thoroughly enjoyed watching Steve, Alix and the gang put together this beautiful wooden boat. I have about 18 months to get caught up! Their work is amazing and Ben’s videos are awesome. Thank you for sharing with us.
Wow, watching you figure out those patterns was a trip! No lasers, no high speed cutters, just two men with wood, a pencil and a drive to get it right. Rock on, guys!
I wish I still had the pleasure, my grandfather was a shipwright and passed 15 years ago now. Luckily I absorbed as much as I could when he was alive and my father is a carpenter but these boys fill in the gaps. And that I can tell you I am extremely grateful for
Just wanted to say thank you for giving us a small look into this massive project. Steve is working hard, Al is enjoying a well deserved vacation, and Ben is just crushing it with the presentation... thank you to all involved. I live in a land locked area of Ohio and almost feel like a part of what you guys are doing.
Funny, just prior watching this vid, I had our « morning battle » , me and our old Mini poodle for the control of an 9d sock. Different body size than Akiva but the same joyful willingness to play and fight. Man’s best friend ever. 🥰
Still trying here. Got shanghaied by the lead pouring more than a year ago, kind of forgot about it and bringing since some notification in February I guess. Damn Corona.
I recognized that 'arc trick' from a little known trick of using a framing square to make a circle. You can put two screws or nails any distance apart (...less than the short side of your framing square) and put a pencil in the crotch of the square. Keep the square touching the fasteners and your pencil will make a perfect ark between the two. Do the other arc and you have a perfect circle. It could be a handy trick if you need to make a circle and don't have a compass. I mainly use it for jobsite trivia. But as soon as I saw the page in your book I knew exactly what your method was going to be to find your arcs.
When I was younger I thought that I would do what your doing. I studied old ship building and went across the Forest here on the farm and bent small straight white Oak i had planted. These would be my ribs or so I thought. Well hurricane hugo rearranged my plot. Larger tree on all of my bends. Then came the back injury in 2009. So I knew my dream to sail a great wooden yacht were dashed upon the stones. But then low and behold Fiberglass boats came to me like moths to the flame. Hope to see you guys on the water.
Another great video. I love the use of the time lapse videography to show the progress. That picture of the boat with the last frame installed looks awesome!
Boy is she coming along! Another milestone Steve. Shiver me timbers Arabella is looking good with all her ribs in place. Good old grandpa to the rescue!
Hi guys, amazing project and videos! Now that you will start at the deck, I am worried anybody falling on the studs of the bolts that have not been cut yet. God forbids anyone falls down, the damage those bolts could do is beyond imagination.
As someone who struggles a lot with anxiety (especially with COVID) I’d like to thank you for your videos, which are one of my best coping mechanisms. Keep up the amazing work guys, it really is more then just a good boatbuilding series
I want to thank you guys. I've been building RC airplanes for years. Watching you guys has inspired me to build a full size ultralight of my own. Keep up the great work, and give Kiva and extra bone from me. Cheer
Steve, very impressed with your attention to detail and ingenuity in the understanding of those that went before you to build a wooden boat..... the pouring of the lead ballast brought me to your channel, but it is your work ethic that keeps me coming back. I cannot wait to see how she comes together in the end.
The term spick and span that we use in the UK, comes from boat building. Spick is the spikes of rivets or bolts that are cut off and span is the wood shavings. When a lad was given the job of making the boat spick and span it was to clean up the bilges of the chips and spikes. Just saying.
That is so cool, Andrew. I never knew. You never know what you'll learn when you seek out intelligent content on RUclips. Love all the boat builder channels.
@@mattinsley1721 thanks Matt, it's funny what you pick up over the years. A little plug for my books if I may. True stories of my time in the British Intelligence, if you like non-fiction, www.gilbrook.org.uk
lots of holes - holes and boats don't usually come in the same sentence unless its bad news lmao boat is looking good congrats on the finishing the framing stay safe all
I finally caught up a couple weeks ago with all the youtube boats and now I am learning the pain of waiting for new episodes... Guess I need to start a project of my own so I can get my daily fill.
Another great episode! I love the sliding batten for getting the deck curve. Good luck with the clamp! Can’t wait to see how to tackle that. Cheers fellas!
I don't really understand the dislikes? I am a dedicated gear-head but the quality of the build and craftsmanship always amazes me. Maybe some people have Parkinson's and can't hit the right button?
Good to see Grandpa! Arabella is the work of many hands, it's part of her legacy. Though I'll probably never build a boat larger than a canoe I love learning how this is done.
That 2 batons at an angle trick is a nice piece of old time wisdom. It occurs to me that could be implemented as a bandsaw fence or a router jig. I find it a hard path to make templates for one of a kind parts.
This feels so satisfying to see you roll past another big milestone in the project. She looks beautiful, and you guys are amazing to watch. Rooting for you the whole way!
So if a the deck camber is 1/2" over a 1', The arc should be the exact same arc on every frame, and 1 Pattern should be needed for every deck beam. I tested that when I was getting ready to build my deck beams. Now I ended up going another way in the end for mine, I wanted the crown of the deck beams to be in a straight line when looking at the deck in profile. So I had a different arc for each beck beam. Most people and I suspect the better way is to pick an arc, in your case 1/2" over 1' make one master pattern that can span the widest point of the boat and use it for every deck beam. Obviously your boat your way. But I'm sure you shouldn't have different arcs. Love the channel and thanks for sharing.
Yup, one pattern used for all the deck beams gives the same arc on all the beams. That is what I did when I laminated my deck beams - one laminating jig. Worked fine and generated a nice fair deck.
Good point. I could be wrong, but it sounded like that's what he's doing. I know he mentioned only using a pattern for maximum of 6 deck beams, but I think the only reason he's making new patterns every 6 beams is to make sure the length is generally correct
👍👌👏 Very well done again. Congrats! I absolutely loved to see you playing with Akiva.💚 Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Congrats on getting the frames completed and onto the decking structure, Arabella is taking shape. I was just thinking wow this is one of those episodes that I'm really enjoying and suddenly it was finished for this week!!! Gutted as I could have watched the whole thing like watching a movie, I was in the zone when suddenly from behind my wife said oh I like Steve's tattoo of the pawprint. Random i know!!! Only problem I have is that I now have another 7 day's of waiting around for the next episode!!!. Congrats on having Aaron around to help out with the boat building while Alex is away as I honestly don't think you'd be at the stage your now working on if you was doing it on your own, so big pat on Aaron's back for his help 👏👏👍, Arabella suddenly seems to be going forward at a rate of knots even without any sails ⛵ 😏. 💯% 👍🇬🇧👀❄
That is precisely it. They are drawing the circumference of a circle given two points on that circle and the rise of the chord that those two points form. It is possible to directly solve for the radius of curvature given those three daya points, and to then use various ways to simply draw the arc. The method they chose (wooden battens) avoids the analytic work, as Steve stated.
The curve drawn with the battens is not part of a circle. If you were to extend the curve it would not meet back up like a circle would. It's a flatter curve than a circle would be and each deck beams ends up being a slightly different arch. It's a bit of a mind twister with how different arches all combine to become a fair deck. Thankfully this was all figured out a long time ago by people smarter than us, we just have to follow their directions =)
@@AcornToArabella Why would this woodworker use words like "radius" and "concentric arcs" if the method shown did not describe sections of a circle. ruclips.net/video/ykzQurvEqOo/видео.html it is in youTube so it is a safe link (and you are not being Rick Rolled!). Radius cannot apply to parabolic arcs, only to circles. Concentricity normally refers to circular geometry. And finally, "arc" is s section of a circle. Where is your intellectual honesty? Several of us in the comments have suggested this to you.
Books will be written of the strength of this boat's construction! Its gonna be an absolute TANK.
This video makes me feel real good watching. You so love building this boat and it’s wonderful to see your Grandpa too. He’s not much older than me and seeing him so fit and healthy makes me realise that it’s so important to be fit and healthy.

I remember buying that issue of Wooden Boat brand new!! Fun seeing it again.

Aaron has been such a solid addition to the project. He's a man of few words but when he speaks I usually laugh! Love to you all
Wow, amazing to see the hull with all of its frames in place!
Nice to see a boy play with his dog... and build a boat.
And working with Grandpa too!

Stephen, you guys have accomplished sooo much over these last few COVID months. Kudos to the team and volunteers. Ben too.
finally caught up, that was a lot of binge watching!
Welcome to the now
I did the same thing last fall
Still trying here. Got shanghaied by the lead pouring more than a year ago, kind of forgot about it and bringing since some notification in February I guess. Damn Corona.
Cool. A major milestone has been reached.
„Starting to look like a boat....“
So exciting to see all the Frames in and snugged down.
Yay!
A boat? Nay sir, its a SHIP. A Sailing Ship.
Negative, boats are put on SHIPS
Wow a major step finished, well done guys.

Congratulation on completing the frames.
Oh my God... that dog?! Such a beautiful friend.
C'est du beau travail, comme d'habitude ! Hâte de voir la suite.
Learning the spring clamp on the dumb end of the tape measure trick made this worth the price of admission!
I like the discussion of the mechanical methods for making fair curves. That was elegant.
The method they used actually creates a portion of a circle. Much easier than building a giant compass.
Very interesting math. Congrats all the frames are in.
I really wish these videos were longer. I know it’s a lot of work to make them and the boat at the same time, but I just love watching them so much.
started watching week 1 - awesome to see you at 150k subs. can't wait for the maiden voyage!!
Go go Grampa!!! Beautiful work, amazing teamwork.
Cheers from Southern California USA ~
Ahh I love seeing Akiva he’s such a cute doggo 😂
That is just fabulously beautiful, looking down through it with all the frames. Jesus. Nicely done, guys.
Another great video. I love the use of the time lapse videography to show the progress. That picture of the boat with the last frame installed looks awesome!
Can't wait to see this finished...........................Need some clamps.

Thank you for the journey
Went to the beach today...Just walked in, glass of Bordeaux in hand, to find your video. Great way to celebrate a sunburn....rr Normandy, France

Ben made a comment reply elsewhere that implies it’s him on the VO. I was wondering too. He’s doing a great job.
Grosbeak Ferns, it's definately not Aaron. Wrong voice and talks about Aaron in 3rd person.
Always amazed at how much gets done each week.
Beautiful.
I love that jig to measure the arc of the deck beams. The coolest tools are always the simplest. Can't wait to see these set in on the next vid!
Love it! Satisfying to watch, must be so much more satisfying to see happen "in the flesh".
Brilliant stuff!

All framed up!....lets do the deck!...love to watch you guys!
Interesting video, well narrated & edited, you seem to be a lot more relaxed. Pleased you are making progress and its good to see Akiva
That 2 batons at an angle trick is a nice piece of old time wisdom. It occurs to me that could be implemented as a bandsaw fence or a router jig. I find it a hard path to make templates for one of a kind parts.
