i know im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Ronnie Terry i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
This is going to be an indestructible and beautiful boat. Lou’s methods and techniques are unsurpassed and somebody’s videography really sets us up to see all.
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!!
Yay! Another Lou video; my day is made! This boat is going to deserve the name "Dreadnought": she's going to be indestructible! Love watching you work, Lou, and appreciate how you are happy to share everything you have learned over the years.
@@Jabbatic Oh I was thinking the same thing you were. Trust me, but I realized that Lou is working multiple projects which is why I think video's on this channel can take some time to get to for him since his other projects are paid projects with customer expectations, etc.
@@willierants5880 I just enjoy everything Lou does, whatever the timescale/order in which videos appear. He is a YT star as far as I and many in my family are concerned. Perhaps my natural impatience gets in my way! My other favourite channels include Acorn to Arabella, and Samson Boat Co - 3 more super communicators and craftsmen (thoughA2A acknowledge their amateur status). There's so much to enjoy about all these and other similar channels.
Another amazing episode. Those time-lapse shots of the nails going in were a lot of fun to watch. I suspect someone's going to catch onto that and make a 10 hour video of it that goes viral. LOL
I want to know how to get the nails out without bending them (@8:49 he said he would show, but either I missed it, or it was not there. I assume just with a block and claw, but curious if he has another way)
@@bobbob6472 Oh yeah! It very well might be a subtle cliff-hanger that he'll address next time. If that's the case, I'll send you a coupon for a beer or something.
Great video as always. FYI they also call these "Stage Nails". They are used to build sets for theatrical performances that will have to be disassembled after the production is done.
@10:32 you can see gaps under the planking between the 3 rows of nails. I'm curious if thats a problem and why you did the middle row of nails last? It seems like if you had done the bottom row of nails last it would have eliminated or at least reduced those gaps under the planks.
I've been making my own plywood for some time now, and i thought that i was the only one to dump the whole bucket of epoxy on the back of the veneer before laying the sandwich's core. Huh. Go figure. Nice work Lou! :)
When will you guys start construction on the Orca from jaws? Many people have started construction on one but never finished, because they dont have the time or money. I've loved jaws since I was a little kid, and I've always wanted to see the Orca reconstructed, and a few people have done so. But they aren't functional.
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.
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.
I was always taught to not hit the wood/fiberglass you are gluing down with a hammer. Because it squeezes the glue out from under it and then when the piece rebounds up there isn’t any glue there now.
@@Амням-с8г for sure. That’s a good way to do it. I’ve also done vacuum bagging for strip planking that worked real well. Just need real slow cure epoxy.
@@Mad.Man.Marine How much pressure did you pull? I may be doing this in the near future. With test panels I find that when I pull higher vacuum (approaching 1 Atmosphere) I get a lot of water vapor coming out of the wood. I am thinking I might just hold at around 0.5 Atmosphere. I am afraid the vapor may cause problems with the structure or lead to poor adhesion.
@@mckenziekeith7434 yes. You need to be careful with that. The rod you use needs to be at its lowest possible moisture content. Especially if you are encapsulating the wood completely.
When a man loves his work, it shows.
Absolutely great. Lou's got more tricks up his sleeve than you can shake a stick at.

I live in the middle of the sonoran desert and watching your videos causes me to want to build a boat - go figure.

I think Caleb is the helper and Halsey is taking video.
I'm not sure that he is doing the editing/post production though.

This is such a jewel of epoxy craftsmanship, with some many "tricks" reveled, that I will have to watch it at least two times.
I learn something new every time I work
Your a legend Louis, Thank you for gifting us with your channel
I have to watch these videos 3 times to catch all the great information. Thanks Lou!
A beautiful boat - and bulletproof. 👌
Im a boatbuilder and im watching this at 2:30 am wishing i could help. Building the hull has always been my favourite part
Its awesome how much you love your craft and workmanship.
Louis you are the greatest!! I've learned so much about boats and carpentry by watching you!
Wow beautiful boat beautiful design can’t wait to see you finish it you are a fine craftsman sir
That hull shape is beautiful
Dang that bottom plankin is really held down tight with those duplex nails, I learn something new every time I pick up a tool. Nice Lou.
Wow, the complicated process is so easily shown by the fast camera at the end. I am learning so much about boatbuilding. Thanks Louis.
Very impressed with your work, I'm a pro carpenter with 30 years experience and I'm learning new stuff with your videos :)
Thank you so much... and am enjoy to watching in your channel long long time ago & until now...
Watching the time lapse of pounding in the nails is mesmerizing.
Yay! Another Lou video; my day is made! This boat is going to deserve the name "Dreadnought": she's going to be indestructible! Love watching you work, Lou, and appreciate how you are happy to share everything you have learned over the years.
Just great to watch. The enthusiasm and joy going about the boat is fantastic. Thank you.
I could watch Lou mix epoxy, & emphasize the importance of mixing it thoroughly, all day.
All a Boat is really is a floating Form! Nice work great Video!
Your awesome and I always learn something from your videos.you make me a better carpenter.thanks
Thank you Lou for your continuing demonstration of handy building methods. This boat i looking sweeter with each episode.
Always enjoy watching and learning from you Lou. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and love for boat building.
A REAL TRADESMAN AND MASTER.....NONE OF THAT FIBREGLASS CRAP..................GENIOUS..............
The very definition of craftsmanship
Extremely accurate building methods and exacting procedures!!!
When Lou has a good time building a boat then so does the viewer. Fascinating 🤨
I for one.....love to see true......true craftsman at work.....
Beautiful work Lou! It's nice to see a pro balance speed and craftsmanship so seamlessly. Your fluency with your tools is a lot of fun to watch.
Thank you Mitch, it's not done until it's done or I'm happy with it
That hull is going to be a tank Lou!
My new favorite tool is the scrapper... so much better than sanding. Thanks Lou
There's so much that can be done with a scraper, it's an everyday tool for me, no question about it
She is coming right along. Can't wait to see her finished out.
Love the enthusiasm and positivity!!
Checking in from Iceland. Keep up the good work, Lou!
Very helpful info - especially the idea of a system or process being central to each project phase
Man, this boat is gonna' be sweet as a stick of candy. It's amazing the effort Lou puts into every aspect of his work, every board, nail and screw.
Thanks Lou, great episode!
That's some high speed hammering there Jack!!
Absolutely marvellous to see the progress being made on the boat! More videos asap, please.
Let's not be hasty!
@@willierants5880 I try not to be... but I let my enthusiasm get the better of me every time.

A lot of clever tricks. Thanks for sharing them. I will file them away in my memory.
Glad you like them!
Great stuff Lou and Halsey! Caleb, too. Looks like fun!
Thanks Mark!
It's a pleasure watching you work

I’m not sure where this boat is going but I hope it is used carefully because it will belong in a museum someday.
Top job Louis!
Lou is my spirit animal
The people who gave a dislike must not be able to read their mixing containers. Awesome Video!!!!!
Great project and tips.
Loved the video! Always extremely interesting and fun!!
This episode was too short. I guess they all feel that way. "Leave 'em wanting more!" I want more. See ya next time!

Nice work team!
How could anyone vote this video down? Another good lesson from a master shipwright!
Thank you Lou!
You nailed it!
Great video as always. FYI they also call these "Stage Nails". They are used to build sets for theatrical performances that will have to be disassembled after the production is done.
Bravo quels connaissances.! Vrai plaisir à vous voir travailler.
Great video! Thanks again!
Nice job
Fantastic !
Brilliant, looking good 👍
Hey Lou wow that boat is going to be a battleship, ironsides is what her name should be.
Can't wait to see the two layers of glass. Thanks for all your videos.
That's our next step, stay tuned!
My God you're a hammer ninja!
That looks like it will be strong.
Great work Dad 😄
;)
impressive!
Feed: New Tips video posts
Me: Gives thumbs up immediately
20 yrs as a carpenter and i still wish i could hammer nails that quick
Bravo!!!
goof stuff. I always learn something new.
I'll bet you meant to type good rather than goof. You must be using your phone.

thanks Lou.
I'm going to start a band and our drummer will be recordings of Lou banging on those planks.
You're right, it sounds just like a drummer in a rock band.
Now you know why his ma kicked him outta the garage...
Cant wait for Orca
You're gonna need a bigger boat!
Where it dries inconsistantly it can beoil from hands during handling
I've been making my own plywood for some time now, and i thought that i was the only one to dump the whole bucket of epoxy on the back of the veneer before laying the sandwich's core. Huh. Go figure. Nice work Lou! :)
Great job, but seems like you're not laying the pieces of wood at 45 degrees to start, then successive layers at 90 degrees to the previous layer??
I'm new to this but plan on building a boat in the very new future, Just wondering if plastic or composite brads would work just as well.
Your the best
If this boat doesn't work out as a good work skiff, it could always be put into service as a small, but bulletproof ice breaker!
Missing the old way you produced your films. Missing old boat repairs.
I never thought there would be so many planks. Thought they'd be wider and there would be less.
Didnt catch why the long edges of each strip arent glued; certainly saves on cleanup.
Holy Mackerel 👍🏻

It's right around the corner EH, we'll have some big announcements on that very soon, stay tuned!
I know what you mean about the glue. I myself have gotten too thick, too quick, the past couple of years. 🤦
Thanks for your videos, Look forward to seeing them!
Just add a little at a time and you'll be okay
All the episodes go way too fast.. Not really, but it seems that way watching a master at work. Love this boat...

Lou, you r Flash Gordon with a hammer. :-)
I expected the second layer of bottom boards to be oriented in a different direction compared to layer #1. Did they ever make boats like that??
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.
Hi Brent, the second layer of planking is purposely a little bias to the first layer, good notice

@@mckenziekeith7434 yes. You need to be careful with that. The rod you use needs to be at its lowest possible moisture content. Especially if you are encapsulating the wood completely.
@@Mad.Man.Marine Thank you. I will probably be using kiln dried redwood. I will do further testing to dial it in.
Fastest hammer swinger I've ever seen 😂
Nice! Do you have plans oe drawings for purchase? I like this boat. Thx
some of those tacking nails were a little bit wonky son hahaha - great video as always!
ah, my fix for the week ..
Nice job.
I wonder: could you use plastic nails with a nailgun? I saw polymer nails!
I know they exist but don't have much experience with them, I'll try 'em on something sometime and let you know
Lou channeling his inner Keith Moon!
You mean Neil Peart lol ;)
