I only hope that you read all of the comments about how very much we've missed you, Lou. So nice to see you again. The wait was painstakingly long. We all missed you.
@@thomasmarchetti8639 that is someone impersonating him, trying to make money off his OLD videos. in real life he "doesnt know how this youtube thing works" and lets that producer kid do everything
@@thomasmarchetti8639 you know what? I APOLOGIZE! Those are new videos, but not really new subject. I'm really sorry for being a suspicious douche! whoa. but why isnt he building??
I learned Caulking from you Lou. I run a 36' old wood fishing boat. Your knowledge has been invaluable over the years . Great to see you back making Videos.
Hi Lou. It is great to see you back. Your insight into the craft of building and maintaining boats is so extensive and valuable. Thank you for generously sharing. Regards from Australia. John
It is good to see people getting rid of butt blocks like that. I took a lot of flack about scarfing in planks to remove butt blocks when I did that on the 1936 woody I restored starting back in 2007.
I love listening to him get so excited about his craft. It's inspiring and makes me want to go make something. I dunno what I'm gonna make but ... something.
Don't know where Lou has been but I'm so, soo glad to click on my notifications and see a video from Tip's from a Shipwright. Lou is my absolute favorite. No one makes better videos. Every single piece of material is examined and explained, as is every aspect of it's installation in the greatest detail. What it's for and how it preforms, in a manner that's down to earth and plainly understandable for the common man like myself. Welcome back Lou, you were greatly missed. By myself anyway.
then why don't you, as a close friend, take a camera to his place, and make a video of him saying "hey guys this is my new channel" and have him post it there? o
I remember the Blue Dolphin in the 60's when I was a young kid hanging out on Bailey's beach , ledge Rd and spouting rock. Mr. Cushing ran her hard hauling lobsta pots in any weather or water condition S. But done like a pro dancing around the ledges. It was a beautiful boat, as Louis says..a gentlemans lobsta yacht. He kept her moored at green bridge cove on the drive. The Blue Dolphin was synonymous with Newport...a blending of wealth and blue collar work. It was a pleasant surprise to find this video. Thank you! Marty Casey...native Newporter
Ex-boatbuilder from MA, but practised elsewhere. Yes, love those wooden working boats: lobster, Cape Cod Cats, sloops, etc. Years after trading the financial heartache of wooden boat building and maintenance for computer programing I got to build my dream house with an architect. My primary guidance to him? I want a lobster boat, not a yacht. Great to see you again! There's no one on YT who has half the knowledge and experience that you have. Your explanation of your solutions for frames and planks is so creative and sound it's a delight to hear. I seem to recall that that Lobster boats were held together with iron nails, that limited their life spans. Maybe those were just the Down East boats? Well, you had to keep the builders employed or you wouldn't have any.
Cool stuff! This strikes me because I'm also restoring a 1962 wooden boat. Of course, mine is a sailboat, but all the principles are the same. I'll be doing the same thing to get rid of the butt ends on the planks. Using plastic for frames is certainly compelling, but I don't know if I can bring myself to do it. It just seems wrong on almost a spiritual level to use synthetic material in the construction of a wooden hull. Maybe I'll come around on it. We'll see.
This is the same guy as above, commenting from the channel I'm documenting the boat restoration on just in case anyone was curious about or wanted to check out the project. Cheers.
I used plastic frames on a project after watching lou with another boat video. All the frames broke in many different places. I forget now what plastic he uses
I'd love to travel the sea's, i cant imagine there would be any more peaceful place on earth, unfortunately anything deeper than a swimming pool scares me to the core.
For a second I thought this was the 1926 Grand Banks schooner from Stan Rogers' "Man with Blue Dolphin". And I was like, isn't that boat at the bottom of the Detroit River?
Is the a schedule for scarfing as there is for but blocks. Like the LLoyds separation by 5 system (2 over +3 down etc) ? I am rebuilding a sharpie ketch that used to be up in Point Judith. One of Jenny’s problems is the but blocks are too close making mid ships weak.
Skills for making the best wooden axes .Very inspiring and useful ...Always successful friend Greeting from Bandar Alay Heavy Equipment Channel Indonesia 🇮🇩⚓⛴️⛵❤️😍👍👍
how long is the project in this video? days? or weeks ? whatever the shipwright measurement of progress is...? and t hen how much longer until back in water?
Great to see you Louis. Plastic frames ? Please could you tell me what type of plastic this is ? It looks like nylon, we have black recycled plastic here in the U.K. do you think this would be good to use ? Thanks in advance.
The plastic he's using is UHMW. Recycled plastic can basically be used for trash cans or milk jugs. It's functionally worthless for any structural purpose. Plastic recycling is a scam.
So can anyone show me any proof at all that somebody did not just upload some B roll again to keep things going while Lou may still be out of commission? Not a single word about Orca in this video ...was this ahout 2 years abo maybe? He was out for a year, than uploads a shot video, never says a word about the year absence. It's just feels a bit off.
I only hope that you read all of the comments about how very much we've missed you, Lou. So nice to see you again. The wait was painstakingly long. We all missed you.
likewise its good to him again.
What happened to him?

For a fun time, go visit Sampson Boat Co. and the Tally Ho!
Yea!!

love the workboat lines and the plumb stem, like a tugboat. nothing beats a tugs counterstern though, especially for towing or ropework.
Hooray lou is back
Whether it’s an old boat, old car or an old building I always like to see people give them a second life.
Awesome Thank you!!

we want more on orca build .... this is taking as long as the bom binky build lol
Is lou ok?
???? where are you shipwright?????
0:14
how long is the project in this video? days? or weeks ? whatever the shipwright measurement of progress is...? and t hen how much longer until back in water?
Is the glue used a two part epoxy , i thought i saw a little foam there had to clarify for my own sake
Great to see you Louis. Plastic frames ? Please could you tell me what type of plastic this is ? It looks like nylon, we have black recycled plastic here in the U.K. do you think this would be good to use ? Thanks in advance.
The plastic he's using is UHMW. Recycled plastic can basically be used for trash cans or milk jugs. It's functionally worthless for any structural purpose. Plastic recycling is a scam.
lou can uou make one of these next: $18,000
2015 lain Oughtred Grey Seal +
Crawford Dory Teak double ender
When os the orca going to get more work??
How much is all this work going to cost? I'm sure it's well worth it but I'd like to know.
What happen to the new
ALDEN schooner that you where working on two years ago?
What type of plastic? Delrin, uhmw, starboard ? Thank you!
It looks like white nylon. And that cAn break because it absorbs water and then it can crack when its freezing. Curious too .
@@johndb102. I had no idea that nylon absorbs water.
Can we return when it's all done?
checking in...anyone hear how Lou is?
I was wondering the same. also wondering why so long between vids, legal? health? both?
So can anyone show me any proof at all that somebody did not just upload some B roll again to keep things going while Lou may still be out of commission?
Not a single word about Orca in this video ...was this ahout 2 years abo maybe? He was out for a year, than uploads a shot video, never says a word about the year absence.
It's just feels a bit off.
Alwa6s enjoy time speñnt
I have all the faith in the world in you Lou and your skills, but where the fu__ you been??? No explanation??
Lookin good lou, looks like you put a bit of weight on and the haircut shaved 10 years off of you
Dugo vas nema sretan povratak
Got wet, then became stiff.
So why dont you buy a plastic boat?
Starting to think Orca is in legal trouble.
