Welcome to my channel. I love working with wood. There are projects here from woodturning to chair making. Recently I have been building a clinker wooden boat the traditional way. This series of films will follow the project from oak trunk to finished boat and sailing. I hope you enjoy watching and many thanks for taking the time to visit.

Love it.
What a fabulous channel.
What a glorious end to a wonderful series! Amazing job with both the boat and the videos. Now that the weather has turned cooler (here in Tennessee USA as well) what new projects do you have planned?
Like a bird taking wing! Thanks for taking us along on the journey. Fantastic!
Fantastic effort lads! Well done all around. 🛶 ❤
Fantastic episode, well done all! Cheers
Head of the nails should be larger ? The head is larger in Norway.
Ja, det kan helde. Men vi må huske at det er en annen trasdisjon i norge. I England og i norge vi bygger båter ikke slik.
Looks like fine woodworking to me. Beautiful!
I am coming to the party months late, as is often the case with UA-cam, I guess. Your videos have so sweetly captured the essence of the joy of creating things. You have made such a beautiful thing with a long and courageous life ahead of it. Congratulations, of course, but mostly thank you.
It is so encouraged! Thank you, blokes!
Watching these videos it always strikes me how wonderful it must be to have a chum to do such things with. I have good friends but I have always worked alone in the boat shop. Having another's perspective, ideas, jokes and stories to enrich the time must be really wonderful. Perhaps I'll try it some time! This boat is looking fantastic. Congratulations on solving the centerplate riddle!
Can’t help but note that there are TWO of you and only ONE boat………..if you build it I will watch it!!
I just returned from the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival, which I followed with my first three-day sail and oar trip in my new to me dory. What fun to find another beautiful video from you. Thanks again for sharing your journey and artistry. I look forward to seeing what you create in the future for further inspiration in my own endeavors.
Lovely series, lovely boat - thank you for taking the time to share with us
Deliightful!
Wonderful and inspiring! I hope you have many happy hours sailing her!
A great achievement - she looks as though she has been there for many years already. Well done and thanks again for sharing the journey.
what wood is that? it looks nice and seems cheap
OK, YOU LIVE IN THE US, WHERE THERE ARE PLENTY OF BOATS AROUND TO RESCUE YOU, WHEN CAPSIZED. HERE IN BRAZIL, WE NEED LOTS OF FOAM INSIDE, IN ORDER TO RIGHT THE BOAT AND SAVE OUR LIFE, ON COMPLETELY DESERTED WATERS.😮 SMOOTH SAILING 😊
I so enjoyed watching you build the dinghy and this magnificent chair also floated my boat.
Thank you for sharing this journey (and little voyage) with us. I'll be green with envy for many months to come, but seeing the two of you create a thing of exquisite beauty in Spirit was a wonderful experience. I am looking forward to seeing what you get up to next!
Lovely. Thank you.
Wohoo! Nice! A good thing with a sail/row vessel is that you just think of rowing and all of a sudden it´s not as boring with weak winds! 😁. But, I dont have the tide issue here. No risk to end up in France while eating hobnobs in no wind. Keep up the good work!
Oh, great, I already missed you! Keep them coming-those adventures in building and sailing. Could I propose a new challenge: Exton? Or even an ocean crossing to Sandy Bay?
Thankyou for sharing the journey , its been really informative . I noticed the lack of bilge water, a really tight build chaps, well done. I wish you many years safe sailing in her, and a few more videos at sea perhaps?
Just like being there with you. So relaxing. Thank you.
Superb!
good one -)
You are my favorite youtube channel. With all due respect I hope I'm like you guys at your age, in a not so distant future.
Thank you for sharing your journey, looking forward to seeing what happens next!
Great job! Lovely boat, and great sailing.
This has been such a great series in so many ways - thank you for sharing your journey and providing such an enjoyable set of videos which have been informative and entertaining. I look forward to your next enterprise with eager anticipation. In the meantime I have enrolled on a short course at BBA!!
Ah, lovely! Maybe it's time to yield to the current and sail to France...
Wonderful. Thanks.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Beautifully built and filmed. Thankyou.
Lovely day of sailing with you two!
Jon, I think you need a bigger workplace.
Are those bags in the bow and under the thwart water ballast? I have a Penobscot 14 that is very tender and as a newbie sailor I'd love to have a little more forgiveness.
Superb. Thanks.
As a viewer, I was glad to see you blokes messin' about in your beautiful boat. Thanks for the ride. Cheers
My moment of UA-cam Zen and much appreciated. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the series and very much looking forward to your next adventure. Thank you so much gentlemen for taking us along..
She really is lovely. I am gearing up for my own build
Spirit looks like such a fun little boat. I'm rebuilding a big 30' blue water wooden boat, but I do want to build a little 10-14' traditional sailing dinghy to play around the shallow waters and estuaries of Cape Cod Bay on.
Please go on ! 👍🏻👋🏻🇾🇪
Simply messing around in boats; you can't beat it. Thanks for taking us along for the journey. Looking forward to your video about dinghy sailing in the Faroe Islands.
Well done chaps. What is next? Something from the drawing board of Alan Buchannan, Maurice Griffiths or Harrison Butler maybe? Can’t wait to see…
Magnifique, Merci !!
Sweet!!
So good to see you back again. Can't wait for the next series. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable journey.
What, no pint in Lympstone? Sheesh..... You know, it was only this morning that you guys crossed my mind.... "Isn't it about time we had an update?....". Good timing.
