This Boat Rudder is Like Nothing You've Seen Before! S3-E17

- Опубліковано 20 тра 2023
- No need for pulleys, cables or bungie cords, this retractable, kick up rudder can be operated with one hand in one simple movement! As work progresses on the sailing tender, for Steve Denette's Arabella, Bob comes up with a simple kick up rudder. Using a re-salvaged tiller and recycled material you won't believe how well it works. In addition to the White Oak cheeks and the Mahogany blade boat builder Bob Emser cast some custom bronze Pintle and Gudgeons and other bronze fitting for the Dinghy Victoria.
“If you’re going to make it, make it beautiful.”

This literally is the art of boat building!
I saw diagrams that felt a little like the science of boatbuilding but I’m giving him a pass this one time
@@MikeWest_W indeed it is. Hope he made a spare too. Rudders have a tendency to break at the most inappropriate time. And sure it might be unlikely. Yet the blade...
My heart broke a little bit when the mahogany was painted white.
What an elegant piece of work. I am thinking how perfectly this little jewel of a tender will enhance Arabella. Top level video pedagogy, as well.
This episode could have easily been an hour longer. So much fun to watch!
Ingenious design and well built 👏
An elegant rudder for the elegant Victoria.
So true. I too was so engaged that I check the episode length, hoping it was longer than usual.
Well this episode was one of my favorites. A true example of The Art of Boat Building and a fine example of a combination of trades.
Well Done!
An episode full of so many skills; casting, machining and metal work, and wood working. All coming together with a big dose of Bob Emser ingenuity. Well done and bravo!
Excellent comment, Drop_D Tuned. Nice to see a fellow guitarist following this channel. Cheers!
Thank you @Todd Brown! Keep on pick’n and grin’ng🎸
Also 3D modelling and 3D printing. What a great episode.
It amazes me. . . an idea in your head, designed onto paper, made into parts, assembled on the boat, and have it actually work! Beautifully done.
Just as your channel announces: ART at its finest, Skipper! A beautiful job, done in the dreamiest workshop ever. ⚓🙏🌟
You've gone from fine engineering to pure art! You are a master! That rudder is a superb piece of craftsmanship. We are NOT yet doomed! Thank you!
If you're going to make it make it Beautiful and that you've done Bob
Nice! Mixed medium precision. Wood, brass, epoxy, each designed and brought together for a nifty solution to a real world need.
The flip action of the rudder looks so smooth, efficient, and effective. Bob certainly put his signature on this one.
Thanks for sharing.
I feel like I’m watching the boat version of New Yankee workshop with Norm! Great stuff.
Totally Blown-away, what a elegant design for a kick-up rudder and a dinghy for Arabella.
The perfect marriage of form and function. True genius.
Truly, I've raced Lasers and 470's with retracting rudders, yet have never seen one so elegant. Bob, your a joy to watch, simply magnificent piece of quality furniture.
That's lovely. But I think a bit of threadlock on the pivot screws might be called for. (Also maybe make a couple of spare screws to keep in the boat, as losing one would leave you with a rudder that keeps floating up)
I was going to suggest the same. Last thing Steve will want to do is source one-off fasteners in some distant port.
Yes!
Jeez, that is so pretty, the polished bronze against the dark wood. Wonderful work.
What a life man! Big ass shed, all the tools, working with bronze, mahogany, oak, adapting, inventing, one-offs...jeez, i bet you dont want to go home. Very nice work btw, top notch.
An elegant solution (done elegantly) to an old problem
The artistry and passion of exceptional craftsmanship.
What a joy to see someone using feet, inches, fractional inches, thou, letter drills, TPI, etc. People who only use metric units don't realise how intuitive, flexible and useful imperial units can be. Some of them think we are idiots stuck in the past. I was lucky to have been raised with both. One of my most useful little books gives a table comparing mm with fractional inches, number and letter drills, etc. As you say, you can move stepwise up the diameters only a few thou at a time using all these different series. My machine tools have leadscrews of 8 TPI, so why would I want to junk them for expensive new machines with metric leadscrews? Or junk my imperial micrometers? Or my BA/ME/Whit/BSF taps and dies? Or my toolroom 6" ruler - by far the clearest ruler I've ever owned.
A true masterclass of concept, design and execution. Is there anything you cannot turn your hand to? A real pleasure to watch.
Genius. So many skills at play here.
You designed a clever four bar linkage for the tiller.
I've never built a boat. However, I own land on an isolated lake and desire to build a beautiful sailing dory from local wood. I find your "Art of Boat Building" channel very inspiring. Thank you
i'm 5 and a half minutes in and this is easily my favorite video from the channel. had to stop and comment. nice work! i wish you would post the geometry of the rudder so i can build one for my pram
Ok , I’m well and truly impressed ! Excellent craftsmanship, and a wonderful rudder 😃😃🍻
Excellent workmanship. Engineering and artistic concepts merge in perfection. It is beautiful!
16:40 Great job designing it to be taken apart. Not only will that mechanism need to be accessed, the inner faces will need to be cleaned periodically if it's in the water for extended time as Steve plans to do.
I have learned alot watching you work. I am impressed.
Hi Bob, it was fascinating to watch your process figuring out the linkage for the raisable rudder. I learn a little something from every video! One takeaway I’m applying to my own projects is your habit of drawing things out to scale. Well done, and thanks again for sharing your experiences and talents with us!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely beautiful work Bob, Victoria will outlive all of us.
Damn Bob, beautiful work on this one. The tender is really coming together!
Excellent solution. Very classy and functional.
Now that's one very cool retractable rudder! Nice work on that.
Tis a privilege to watch you work. Thank you,
Wow this is such a beautiful piece of work. This is going to one stunning tender.
Turned out so clean and pretty
You are a pure craftsman among craftsmen.
fantastic craftmanship. thanks for the great viewing
Bob, this rudder is amazing! The bronze work looks like jewelry!
Beautiful, Robert, beautiful.
The most impressive episode yet.
My goodness, you are an excellent craftmans
Bob, you out did yourself! That was ingenious. I am in hopes that you put a little hole crossways through the bottom pintle so that a cotter pin or small wire ring can be run through to keep the rudder from coming up and out of the gudgeon.
I'm blown away with the science required. Makes my head hurt. Then calms me down, just watching the process. Mike 🇦🇺
Amazing and enjoying to watch. This is art and all done using the Imperial Measurement system.
You are a true artist! Well done!
Outstanding craftsmanship. And what a novel and brilliant kick up rudder design. I built the 9 foot Steve Redmond “Tetra” featured in Wooden Boat #284 in the Launchings section. I wanted to give it a kick up rudder, and tried a bungee system, but it never worked well. I may have to try this. Btw, I asked Kirby Paints to mix me some green like your catboat, and they sent me a can labeled “Bob Emser Green. 😊
Heat Tiller is so frickin' cool. I don't know if it's a common thing in sailing dinghies but if it's not you should patent that. And it's beautiful to boot.
Wow, more beautiful, functional artwork!
This a has to be the absolute most satisfying video ever.
Mr. Emser,
You are simply the best. I'm really impressed. You are a true professional.
Greetings from The Netherlands
Very interesting and intriguing how you solved the problem… Must see TV😂😂👍😎
Hmmm Silver solder tension connrction> Would be stronger if thraded connection
That's what I thought too, but I looked it up and apparently silver soldering is actually almost as strong as welding when it comes to tensile strength.
That rudder not only looks great but it also is functional! Great job bob!
Just incredible, a true piece of art, old and nearly forgotten techniques thoughtfully blended with modern materials to make a multi use item. Thank you again sir for taking us mere mortals on your journey.
Your attention to detail is fantastic, so impressed
SWEET!!!!!!!! Magic! I did one similar to this to replicate a kickup for a Vagabond 14. I did the same process with templates
It did work but you added some ART with the old tiller too. BRILLIANT! Nice nice work!
Nice to see a fellow San Luis Yacht Club Staff Commodore following this channel. Beautiful work. I picked up on this channel after following Acorn to Arabella for the last several years!!!
What a good idea, thank you!
That is a brilliant piece of engineering. Would love to have these on my boat.
Absolutely the best episode yet of all your builds!
Bob has so many talents! Working with metal may just be his best tho. He really knows how to work with pretty much anything he puts his mind too tho.
The bronze fittings are just beautiful! I was skeptical about the use of silver solder in tension; so I looked up the properties of silver solder and saw that it has a strength of 70 ksi; so, better than structural steel. I am learning a lot from your videos and those from A2A.
I really enjoyed that one, thanks Bob. Also, Its so nice that not an ounce of " manufactured redundancy" is present.
You do beautiful work Robert. Your video’s are most enjoyable to watch.
Thank you from Missouri.
Very nice job. Beautiful. A lot of time spent. You are very good builder.
Nice engineering combined with outstanding craftsmanship created the marvelous rudder..
Thar looks great Bob! You are a true craftsman.
Such wonderful craftsmanship. Just beautiful work. Many thanks for sharing this with us all.
Phenomenal Bob. Excellent work. Thank you for this presentation.
I just found your channel. Just to get some tips for my little wood hydroplane I build a couple years ago. But this video here got me . I subscribe to your channel . After seeing your bronze work and building that boat rudder. That’s a lost art .
That is one beautiful piece of workmanship. Congratulations!!
It is so nice to have again a view, how YOU are constructing and building all the details, needed for such a nice rudder! Thanks for it!
Wow....what a combination of skills.
Pure craftsmanship
Well, it works pretty good, I’m very pleased with that.
YOU SHOULD BE, Bob! This was wonderful to watch
Wow, that’s a lesson in true craftsmanship. Very impressive indeed and a pleasure to watch
Bonjour ! C'est vraiment le genre de projet qui me plait !!! Un Grand Bravo à vous !!! Cordialement !
Good morning ! This is really the kind of project that I like!!! Congratulations to you all !!! Cordially !
As usual, a great combination of precision workmanship and unique design,
So precise with the screw heads all in the same direction. It is such a small but effective attention to detail.
Thanks you for all your episodes. This one particulary is full of amazing skils, and didactics teachings. I really admire your work!!!
Pure art, you sir are a master craftsman
I am absolutely stunned by the beauty of this craftsmanship! ❤❤❤
Amazing skills…beautiful work of art, called a rudder.
Lovely work, Bob! It looks beautiful and works amazingly! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
That's a Damn Clever rudder!
Great job on the flip up rudder. Your work is amazing. I like the old metal lathe I would bet that it is older than your friend Steve. I really enjoy your videos.
Well, it is beautiful! Thanks Bob!
That is a beautiful thing Bob. Kudos for you!
Thanks Kev!
Excellent work! Construction seems to be simple, but reliable and very convenient to use!
Hi Bob, did you make spare fasteners for the rudder? Those custom parts would be a challenge to make when Arabella is out and about.
A lovely piece of design, well thought out and beautifully executed....
You are a true craftsman Bob! Bravo on the design an build +
Very nicely done Bob
I never though a rudder could be beautiful but it is and the screw heads all line up, awesome workmanship you are more than a boat builder you are an artist.
Thanks Allen!
Great video, very clear and concise and as I am about to undertake a similar Dinghy rudder rebuild myself (1970's CSC Caprice - 15 ft) also very useful in what I will have to do. I will not undertake the retraction mechanism at this stage but will modify the unit somewhat later when I have resources to perform the metal working side of the job. Having worked with wood for much of my 70+ years, I was very interested in learning about the Potasium Dichromate process. Well done and thanks.
very hight class work all my respect and admiration guillaume paris
Love watching the master at work.
God, do I love the metric system - 1/32 second of an inch... - thanks for the great work!
At WoodenBoat School an instructor bellowed, “There’s no 32nd’s in boat building!” He wasn’t Bob.
Totally an artist!
That is a work of art!
