Never ever in my life have i seen such attention to detail and that's coming from myself a perfectionist. Your skills are absolutely mind blowing. You are an absolute master at what you do and I do not say that to anyone. True perfection is rare but you've nailed it.
The difference between an amateur and an artisan building the same boat is vast. Watching your process of marking out and jointing, assembly and cleanup of assembled components is a thing of beauty. Your boat is going to be a masterpiece.
Dan, very impressed by the marriage of CNC and hand fitting of these parts. I can't wait for the next video. Keep up the fantastic work bringing wooden boats to the 21st century.
I’m a wood worker from Cornwall so one of you UK watchers. Absolutely loving this build I have binged watched this week and am now caught up. Would love to build something like this one day.
Dan - Thank you for the boatbuilding and woodworking education. Your attention to detail and quality is amazing. This was an incredible experience for me. Bob
Love this series. It's very meditative observing the skill you display in constructing something so beautiful. Thanks for making and posting these videos.
Excellent video and refreshing to see your hand tool skills come into play. Yes, I spotted Bob and I suspect he too will benefit from the hand tool tuition.
I've built a few boats from plans but I've never gotten in-person boatbuilding lessons as part of the purchase! Bob got a deal. My first whitehall looked like the south end of a northbound horse.
That’s one beautiful strong looking structure! The really impressive thing is the same amount of detail that goes into bits that are hidden away ,never to be seen again, as well as the showy bits. A true craftsman indeed. Is that the chap from the USA?
I'm enjoying the details that you are putting into the build and the videos. I have two questions: How many "Irwin" clamps do you own? What hardener are you using with the West System epoxy?
That's great to hear! I probably have around 30 of the Irwin quick clamps, sometimes they all get used as well. I am currently using the 205 hardener as conditions are getting a little colder now in the UK.
Once again, a pleasure to watch Dan. I see you use a tenon saw, probably a narrow kerf variety? I thought you had changed to using Japanese pull saws a few years ago - if you did try them how did you find them? In my own case, I've found I can get better accuracy and a finer off-saw finish.
Yes I did go over to Japanese saws, I still use them often but then I bought a decent quality Western style tenon saw and fell back in love with that. The balance and weight of it is incredible and I find myself reaching for it more often now. The Japanese ones still have their place but the two saws have a very different technique and sometimes one favours the other. For the deep stringer notches for example I expect I will be using the Japanese saw.
When you made the transom frame, you clamped it down, does that introduce tension/stress into the frame and does cutting and notching affect the shape of the frame
There is of course a small amount of tension in it from the laminating process but I haven’t seen this cause any issues. Spring back in the deck beam (which carries the highest amount of tension) was very small, maybe 1mm in the centre. Nothing seems to have moved since I’ve been cutting in notches either 👍

Third clip in a row U-tup recommended - earned Yourself another subbie. Thanks for sharing!

It's a really satisfying combination of the two and just goes to show that one doesn't replace the other, they work in harmony 👌
Outstanding workmanship Dan!
Amazing work. Very nicely done.
I am so glad I found this channel. I love working with my hands, working and wood and boats. Your quality shows your patience.
I don't have a boat, or work on boats, but I love this channel
Well done and really enjoying this series. This could be on my bucket list!
I loved working with mahogany. You are quite a perfectionist. Thank you for the videos and keep up the great work! Looking forward to the next one.

Welcome aboard! Cornwall has to be one of my favourite places in the UK!

No worries Bob, does this mean you'll be throwing away your file sander now? 😉
Probably not!
🤣
Each one of these parts, each assembly, is such a piece of art.
Imagine that it will look like when it all comes together 🥰
Dan, you are slowly talking me into CNC boat building! I do like that there still is a degree of wood craftsmanship involved. I love the channel! Dan
Have you built a boat yet? Dan has several other designs that are less intimidating than the Temptress. You should consider it!
Love this series. It's very meditative observing the skill you display in constructing something so beautiful. Thanks for making and posting these videos.
Glad you enjoy it!
Brilliant!
Спасибо , очень интересно ! Вы хороший мастер , хороший столяр .
She's a thing of beauty, that transom.
Excellent video and refreshing to see your hand tool skills come into play. Yes, I spotted Bob and I suspect he too will benefit from the hand tool tuition.
That's a piece of art on it's own, you should make another one for the wall :)
😃 It's going to be one giant art piece this boat!
EXCELLENT WOOD< GREATEST OF TOOLS, PERFECT WORKSPACE yep, all pro stuff....nothing but time also, good job!
Lovely ❤
Epic 👌

Yes I'm not sure I'll be able to offer that deal with all sets of plans that I sell 😁

Yes it all gets the same attention no matter where it is 😁
Yes that was Bob who is building a Temptress in the USA 👍

@@DanLeeBoatbuilding Fair enough, it's horses for courses. I do still use western saws for "heavier" cuts.

👍👍👍
I’m very interested in the pencil you are using. Where did you get it?
It is made by a company called Pica. It's probably the only pencil I have never lost!
Dan, what is the brand of mechanical pencil you used in this video? Thanks!
It’s called a Pica pencil 👍
@@DanLeeBoatbuilding Thank you!
What kind of pin are you using to mark your wood?
That's a Veritas marking gauge.
Why do you not use a bedding compound for your joints?
Not with this type of build, it is a modern wooden construction so everything will be bonded and encapsulated with epoxy.
🙂
I would hang that on my wall!!
