    Lou, you nailed faster then John Henry
    driving rail road spikes competing
    against the steam driving machine.
    Just don't end up like he did. Would love to see the reaction of the old time boat builders I was around as a young
    man. Unfortunately they are all long
    gone but you have their skills and many
    modern upgrades and your passing
    these gems onto next generations.
    Your obligated to keep this going
    for at least 20 more years!!

    Nice. Your precision of block planing . I’m curious about the planking fit towards the bow. Is there a reason why you wouldn’t steam or soak the planks to allow them to make that twist and then fasten them temporarily until they dry . I know they may swell a bit and have to fine tune the fit after drying.

    • @TipsfromaShipwrightvideos
      @TipsfromaShipwrightvideos  3 роки тому

      It would add too many steps, you wouldn't able to glue while the wood was wet, this is a composite construction and we were able to twist them in place so it just wasn't necessary.

      This is kind of a weird design. A mix of traditional and new methods. Usually for newer epoxy cold molded boats (a-la Gougeon brothers) the different layers of wood are laid up in different directions to achieve an effect similar to plywood. But Lou doesn't seem to be doing that.
