I am a wooden boat builder based in the East of England. This channel has been set up to share with you the work I am doing on traditional working boats from the area that I work.
The move!
I recently moved my 32ft Maldon fishing smack to Pinmill ready for her rebuild. Here is what happened...

Planking! Sorry for the sections of film missing in this video. Sadly I didn't get enough time to set up a camera for the whole process. Anyway hopefully you enjoy.
Building a clinker dinghy - Episode 1

In this video I build the centreline for a 12ft clinker dinghy. The dinghy is being built as a tender for a fishing Bawley called 'Doris'.
This is literally BEAUTIFUL to watch develop. You ought to put a link in the description to each follow up episode. Further, you ought to put up a sign that's seen behind you, along the way, say 25% or more of the time that says: "Link To Next Episode In Description".
Entertaining possibly, but educationally fairly useless.
Well done tom, i hear you are a big wig in the boat building business if so give one to Gus i think he needs it .i remember you as a kid, best regards splodge
Beautiful build.
The checks would appear to become an absolute nightmare. All of the grain is running out. Top and bottom. Do you have magical wood that doesn't swell up or shrink? The planks are an absolute nightmare.
Well it appears that you have given up on either boat building or boat building videos.
Hi did the whole thing in 3 fast-moving episode!
👆👆
Is that larch planking? So clear!
Says more to come, but it seems not to have been the case.
Well done! I was your 200th thumbs up.
Thought it seemed heavy for a dinghy of that size, but if it's a reproduction of a local boat, then good. It seems a clean well-crafted job so far.
Great work Tom. Always interesting to see how others do it. Even though we have essentially British traditions in boatbuilding here in Sydney lots of details have evolved separately.
Just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Great Job
This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing, it really does help people out a lot with regards to visualising the centreline of a round bilged open boat. I have thought about when I have the opportunity to undertake a similar project such as yours and whether I would use a half joint at both ends as you have rather than a mortise and tenon at the forward end and the half joint at the aft end. All the best.
Tom, without people like you these old boats would all be gone. Best of luck.
Beautiful 👍
Looks good👍
looks like a Viking long boat more than a small dinghy ... love it.
advanced skills. could you please share your adjustable planer's link
Any update on this Tom?
Really enjoying these videos although I wished it wasn't all in hyperspeed. It'd be lovely to see more of the detail which is lost a little when it goes so fast. But it's such an amazing build!
Really looking forward to this project, Tom. Are you going to have a Patreon page? And I reckon you need to have the dog in the film too!
Yes, I will have a Patron page. I'm sure the boatyard dog will be around. 😆
I'm a newbie to boat construction, having built a couple of skiffs, a pram, a canoe, and a few small dorys, all in ply, and all with fiberglass as a sealant and structural component. I love the traditional construction methods though and the end results are dramatically more impressive. I noticed to the end of this video, looking at your hull inside towards aft, and noted a substantial gapping between the last frame and the wall of the hull... is that typical? I thought the walls were attached to the frames, or are the frames sacrificial? replaced by staves? Maybe I should just wait till the 3rd episode.
These are station molds, not frames. The frames are typically added later, frequently steam bent to fit, and then the station molds are removed. The gaps left by the overlapping planks in this style are usually still visible under the final frames though.
This looks very exciting Tom!!
Enjoyed this one also, good to see it all come together. It would have been nice to get some details on the construction. like the type of wood, how it will be finished, kept water tight, hours to construct, etc. Great job!
Interesting, love the detail and step by step approach.
Love the videos, what “sack” do you use for steaming? I use a plastic role but yours looked more sturdy and reusable. Cheers
Thank you. I made it myself out of some left over plastic tarp.
great video! I am just curious since I am restoring a lapstrake boat but how can you transom the bevel from the old planks to the new ones?
Very nice indeed, well done
A super job Tom but the bad news is that at times you like just like your Dad, however Geoff would love to see this the finish is fantastic
That's Lovely
Inspirational stuff - and congratulations!
Lovely work Tom
Smashed it mate, great job
Loving these videos Tom, really great to see!
Great job, quality work
Hello Tom the clinker dinghy is coming along nicely, really good video. I have recently got into boat repairing/building with my first video being released, please check it out and suggest ways I could improve on it possibly? Thanks Tom
Excellent!
Good work, well done.
Excellent video Of craftsman at work- although slower stages might be even more appreciated- keep it going and well done Tom👍👌🏻👨🏻☘️
Please make the videos longer and more in dept. It would be so fun to follow and leran from you. Jeep it up, thank you👍🏻
Hi Tom, please keep up the videos. Love it. Nice easy watching too, dont overload the music.
Can't wait to see more progress on your boat. It will be great if you can explain the various part of the boat construction too.
Nice Tom, its obviously a lot warmer in your shop than mine - brass monkeys in Kent these last few days
PU glue, not OU!
Great work Tom. Please advise what products you are using - i.e the orange and the black ? sealants. Did you use OU glue for hog to keel? Looking forward to further videos very much. Thanks, Stuart
Hi Stuart, the orange was red lead paint. The black was bituminous tar and the glue for the hog was Gorilla glue's PU.
Yes wom!!
Awesome Tom! Looking forward to the next one!
Kunstig! Yes pls more😁👍
