About me: I decided to jump on an opportunity to buy a school bus for $1000. After 2.5 years of building and a couple summers doing bus life, I sold the bus and began building a tiny house boat from scratch. My hope is that with a couple years of practice building under my belt, I can do a bit better of a job this time and build something that actually floats 🤞

Hard work is paying off, It's starting to look like a houseboat.You're doing a great job.
You're amazing. I envy your first day with an icy drink, laying back on YOUR boat knowing you built every millimeter.
You know it!!
She posted a boat build video.
Ya'll happy now?
is that Birbie's sister 👻
Yeah! Emma! Yeah!
But Be SafeGirl!
Are you happy though?
Your confidence as you maneuver your way through this houseboat build grows exponentially. You rock girl!
I wish i had people like this in my life. I am a young widower, i have three young kids. As a family project, we are currently building a boat house too and all but one friend thinks i am insane and way too ambitious and naive. And this is with them knowing I am a scientist and engineer.
Our boat has a swath hull. For the curious, there are twin hulls that are submerged, neutral buoyancy is actively managed via ballast system. The pylons have additional displacement and the main deck also displaces so even if the ballast system fails it wont sink. The main idea behind the swath is to make a house that is resistant to waves.
You already have a tiny home bus under your belt and now this! Almost at a loss of words besides “I admire your ambition and I bet you pull this off too like your last big project”
Anyone that makes a boat (let alone a house boat) is top notch in my book. Me and my kids are cheering you on and sending admiration from afar!!
right back at you!
Please tell me that you're posting build videos. That sounds like a sweet build!
@@norwegiangadgetman yes, will post build videos on V2, it will feature 3D printed modules, making a facility for this as we speak.
boats are the best
@@thegoodtom1718 agree many don't realize to build an average type boat You have to first draw the front ,side and overhead full size called Lofting I had to when I built that 8 foot cold molded pram Have some spline ducks to help draw curves so don't need to put nails in a piece of wood to hold the batten Plus bevels are constantly changing even on the same mold Talking about the typical type boat One of the many reasons why boat building is so interesting Sure if Emma ever wanted to she could build a flat bottom skiff
Found your channel because of this boat project, so happy to see all the "secret" progress you have been making on it. However, I am really surprised by how much I also enjoyed your summer vacation travel vids.
Looking really good Emma. Roy is working on one with a bow drop step. I'd be very temped to retro fit that into my Dianne's Rose houseboat. I found a couple small issues on mine from the guy that built it and I'll pass this on to you. If you put a swim ladder on yours, highly recommended, make sure you put a metal backing plate under the deck to bolt the swim ladder down, not screws. Using of course stainless steel bolts. My swim ladder is a telescopic one and I really like it. The guy also used screws for the cleats. I've already popped one off and into the lake. Don't be "that guy". Make sure you use bolts and metal backing plates. Those cleats are what's going to hold you secure at anchor or on the side of a marina dock. The last thing you want to happen is the cleat to pop off and your vessel drift in rocks, shipping channel or into someone else's vessel. Anyways, looks great and you're going to love it.
Glad you’re back Emma ! I’ve always loved (and admired) how you just kind of “go for it” despite lack of experience. You remind me of my youth. I lost my father when I was 14, so I had to pretty much learn everything for myself (WAY back before the advent of the internet and RUclips, mind you 😂) You’re truly an inspiration to many ! Love your channel ❤️
What a GREAT comment !!!!!!!!!
Being patient is paying off for you , what a great job you're doing . Thanks for taking us along.
If you want longer pot life with epoxy use broad shallow pans instead of cups. The thicker epoxy is the faster it kicks, so pie pans not yogurt cups. This will get you a bit more time to work. Hope this helps.
I used painter trays Being a cold molded boat 3 layers of thin veneer It took a lot of epoxy It probably took even MORE SCRIBING :)
@@user-lk2cj2qs1d absolutely, paint trays or their liners are great for that kind of work.
Love your videos. You really show how difficult building is instead of the girls that make it all look easy but have men helping her off camera... You rock! Your willpower to build the houseboat is inspirational.
WOW!!! You won't need a houseboat. When you're finished you just might feel like you're able to walk on water! lol fantastic job!
hey, captain emma's back. happy friday!
I'm glad to see her working on the boat
You Go GIRL!!!
Great to see you on this project!
I hope it continues to challenge you and improve your skills and experiences..
Plus new adventures to come, yeah!
You take care with details, that single quality will produce a boat that is BETTER than anything being mass built today. Btw it takes forever to build one. hang in there.
One thing ink pigments that are used for printing the labels on the can are different than the ones being used for paint, stains, etc so they never match
You are amazing woman keep on keepin on and don't let the devil steal your joy you are a peaceful woman you travel what are you doing I absolutely amazing job on your boat keep it up praying for everything to work out for you
Hey Emma, you can put your epoxy mix in a bowl and set that bowl in an ice water bath, to chill it and it will slow down the reaction time to give you a bit more working time. Once you apply it to the warm wood and such it will begins to heat and kick off but it will stay “ready” in bowl until you apply it
About your staining process...
You should apply a light to medium coat, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then wipe off the excess. Then, you can use another rag to buff it into the grain until you get the exact result you want. You may or may not have yo add another coat, depending on your preferences.
Most new stain users apply way too much in the beginning until they get it down. Have patience, work carefully, and always use a "rest board" until you find the right shade for your project.
Hope this helos.
Rock the boat, Emma! 😉
I too, am building a boat and for the first time, mines out of aluminum, it does me alot of good to see someone else go through all the same highs and lows...Keep building that dream!
Looks really good. To slow the epoxy "kicking" you can store the epoxy in an ice chest with a little bit of ice. Keep the internal temp at 50-60 degrees. After you have mixed the epoxy, pour it into a flat pan. I use a throw away tin baking pan and line it with foil. You can use Isopropyl alcohol to clean up the epoxy. I use the 91%.
I am very impressed. You are making nice cuts, following your plans and it sure is becoming a boat. Hannah Lee Duggan has nothing on you!
RRRR-captain the boat be looking shipshape! Captain Emma will be sailin the 7 seas before long me hardies. with her bow turned into the wind! with the captains hair flying in the breeze. shiver her timbers LOL-charlie from AR.
I’m an old man and can relate to you being hesitant to cut out the back of your boat. I’m sitting here watching you do it and it gives me anxiety 😁
This is an impressive build. The hull is looking smooth and sleek, and the internal support pieces look like they'd make the design durable. 'Looking forward to seeing this boat in the water.
A little bit at a time and S.S. Pretty boat is in the water and made by your hands and other hands of helpers too.
This is a great build , when hts not in the water you can use it as a caravan! Boom! 💥
So excited to see another boat video! You're killing it! I envy the courage you have to take on such a difficult project!
Now that you build one houseboat, few hundred more to go.... on the "Emma HouseBoat Company. heehee. :) working around the clock. LOL. :P
How about "BirbieBoats Inc." 😁
Good job 🙂 just be careful of blade binding when cut down your larger pieces of plywood... try and support the saw end and let the offcut fall away or get some foam and cut it on the floor... keep it up... you're doing great
Beautiful work Emma! Your skills are improving! I saw a tip for supporting the wood when you cut large panels. Use 3 pieces of scrap wood the thickness of the panels you are cutting, make them all rectangular, sandwich them all together, push the center piece down a few inches and secure. start your cut and go far enough to be able to place that helper over the cut line you just made. Hope it will help as it looked very handy.
I love your energy. Love everything you do.shamim 🦅🦜🧝💑💋💞✌👫🕊🆗️
Great video, excellent progress. You’re a wizard with those tools, I remember watching you build the bus and using the tools. AWESOME
Any path, even the longest one, starts with small steps. You will succeed! Respect from Russia!
I discovered your channel with your first houseboat video, and I have been enjoying the channel since then. I wish I had a friend like you nearby - I would LOVE to have a partner for projects like this. The wood working - not my forte. On the other hand, I would have a blast helping to plan any gizmos and gadgets to go on a project like this, and running all the electrical for it!
As a dude with very long hair who gets around a lot of paint, resin and dust, an old teeshirt upside down and tied with the sleeves is a good way to keep your hair protected.
Your vessel is really coming along. You'll be afloat in no time at this rate.
Great work Emma . . . She'll be afloat before you know it. Thank you for sharing.
Emma you need to stop being so hard on yourself you doing a phenomenal job and achieving it as usual so this is Tony signing off until next week
Another tip is uncured epoxy can be cleaned with white vinegar. It’s alot kinder to skin than acetone.
You are doing amazing work with this build, much to be proud of! When I saw you with the blue bandanna on your head it made me think of that famous WWII poster of "Rosie the Riveter". In this case, Emma the Boat builder!😉
Feels like you are in striking distance of the end! Woohoo!!
Remember you were thinking "maybe I should just buy a boat hull" well, just like that, easy peasy...you got a hull ;)
Hi Emma it's Tony I am very impressed with you because last week's video you're out enjoying yourself and you said you would come back and work on your boat this week I'm impressed that you have gotten so much accomplished on it but you almost gave me a heart attack when you said you had epoxy in your hair and you going to cut it I'm telling you I almost had a heart attack seriously they think you look phenomenal with long hair you happen to be a very incredible lady to take on stuff that you have no clue like building your bus and now a boat you are definitely an awesome person until next video may God bless you be safe have a good evening and pleasant dreams😅
Getting close. Can't wait to see the final
Happy to see the progress you have made. I am picking up skills watching you. The boat is looking good
looking good😎😎😎💙💙💙💙
Looks really good, I am glad that it is coming together for you. I know it's going to look awesome.. God bless you and be safe 🫶🙏🐼
Emma, you're getting closer and closer to your dreams. I hope no more epoxy get in your hair so you don't have to cut off all your hair. Lol. Stay safe!!!
You are a cook! And that's awesome! The boat is going to be so damn nice. You've made such impressive progress. Wow!
Thanks for making and sharing these videos of your project. It's looking good.
Use a wood conditioner from the same maker as your wood stain. The stain color sample on the stain container usually shows the shade on oak wood...and all wood of the same species is not consistent...the same of any species of wood. With the conditioner treated wood, the staining results are generally more consistent overall. If you put stain on softwoods, your results will not be very good overall, due to the characteristics of softwoods vs hardwoods.
Turning in to a seasoned boat builder.
Excited See Ur Houseboat Run Emma Also Use Mercury Marine Motor Always Good
Looking really good Emma. You are so talented and willing to take up any challenge. From South Africa😊
beuatiful new video emma. looking good how you build your house boat. keep working and belief in your dreams
I like your boat build videos because they make me feel like I could do one of these and I'm sorely tempted but it depends on how my heart opp goes later this year. You are an inspiration Emma keep going 😊😊
Pretty impressive. Things really ARE moving!!!
You're a lot stronger than you look, by the way.
She looks like a million bucks
17:08 my favorite part. it reminds me of me.
If you have the inside and outside of the hull fiberglassed then now is the time to fill it with water to see if it leaks. Much easier to find out now and repair any issues.
You have a battery-powered nail gun?
You have ALL the fun torys!
The boat is looking good.
You should watch some videos on how to use a speed square. That 10° cut would’ve been much easier using it, but there’s a ton of great uses👌🏻
Once, I was doing a woodworking project. Cut a board off THREE TIMES and it was STILL TOO SHORT! 😮🤪
You are doing a great job, as always. Keep up the good work.
I love watching u no matter what u do
doing really good i was surprised how far this episode showed .after the boat next yr maybe a nice starter house
Interior will be so fun. I'm down for a Japanese theme.
You should be able to store your unmixed resin in the fridge which might give you more working time before the heat causes it to cure.
you are doing a great job and Your perseverance is admirable!! I noticed you putting your free hand in the path of the circular saw a couple times. That's a bad habit to get into.
Looking good, keep it up. Now I gotta get my ass busy with my interior and wiring and one more coat on top of my roof. Looks like yours will be in the water before mine!
We all love you so when this is all finished just please make sure you have on a life preserver at all times. Even when you are sleeping. Correction… Especially when you are sleeping.!
You are doing an outstanding job on that boat. Wood is strange when it comes to taking stain, the same piece may look totally different from one end to the other. Try to find a happy medium and call it good.
I see your adding a little skin and blood to the boat build. Glad I'm not the only one that has this issue. Looking at my scars it's a badge of honor to show my grandkids. They think so also.
Looks great, looking forward to the finished project. Your an inspiration
Woooow i saw your you tube channel for the first time end i love how you do it al by yourself on your house bout build
A power women for sure
awww mannn, Your back from Vacation, I thought you'd be travelling the whole summer. /s ... Good Luck on the houseboat build.
19:32 THAT Smile! Bemused and satisfied -- in that moment Emma is at peace!
Congratulations --- It's really coming together now, and looking fantastic. You deserve to be proud and to take pleasure in such achievement!
Cheers, beautiful...from North Vancouver
Emma, “Total Boat” would probably sponsor a video. Just reach out to them. 💜💜💜
Wow!! Lookin' good. And the boat's looking good too.
Very cool
You're inspiring me to start my own boat build. Keep it up!
Great job!!
I’m enjoying your videos….
I’m also building my first boat…
I like your honest humble an dedicated approach…
You're doing a great job! Love watching your videos.
Next time just get some beads to go around the epoxy or resin knots in your hair and let them grow out. It should only take a few years. And you can pound the knots with a hammer to break them up a little, for dramatic effect.
You’re videos are definitely the bright side of our lives. Thank you for all the joy you bring into our lives. Have a great week ahead and till next week. Greetings from Holland . Though you most probably are working again so don’t have time for a tap on your back 😃.
This is gonna sound strange since I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. The boat is coming along nicely.
It's looking more like a houseboat every time I watch, and you did a really good job on that place where the motor will go, hang in there Emma.
Okay. I'm amazed! What a great job.
Happy to see your progress. Sometimes the building of parts and pieces seems like endless steps but, then you start to fit the pieces and , WOW ! Read twice , measure twice and cut once.
It’s looking good. All the best, Hal
I just love this channel, can’t wait until the next episode
Lookin really good so far. I originally thought it was too small, but it is growing, time will tell... Will you put any hinged trap doors in the deck to store life jackets, and maybe a couple floats or tubes to save space>
Well done young lady, awesome work….👍
Ya know she's the model men long for.
And don't sweat the hiccups....Everybody has measured twice and still cut it too short in their life....
You have my respects....I don't know one person I've heard say they want to build build a boat every build a boat.
I think it needs to be twice as big, time to start over?
My goodness, what wonderful progress you have made. Emma, you have such courage and tenacity as a builder. I have such admiration for you. ❤❤❤
I'm so proud of you Emma. This is the best build video you put out. You got so much done and your comfort level and expertise with cuts is amazing to see finally mature. As much as I love watching you fumble and laugh at yourself. After this build you should definitely consider holding a workshop or taking on an apprentice. Good on you. Blessings in your journey.
Emma is back!
I'm always impressed with Emma's knowledge and perseverance on all of her projects. H
Nice work
I’m enjoying watching you build her an am learning.
I’m also building my 1st boat
Amazing progress. You got this young lady. Forge on ahead. Thank you for sharing this adventure.
