Sir, you are a “craftsman”. My sincerest compliments.
A very skilled boat builder ..... a joy to watch.
Good to watch an experienced tradesman
Highly impressed by his knowledge and extreme high class workmanship 👍.
Thanks for passing on the knowledge and explaining in detail of why and how it should be done. I always respect a person who is willing to take time teach.
Your NOT. A tradesman
Or a boat repair guy
You truly are a artist.
It’s so nice to see someone who loves what they do and takes the time.
Sadly there’s not many like you and today’s generation will never become what you have mastered
It is quite obvious that you have been a teacher for a long time the way you describe your actions and why and how your doing them is spot on , only if more people had your insight to teach a sheer pleasure thank you .
I’ve only recently discovered your site and although I’m a UK based carpenter/ joiner of similar age with no connection to boats , I find the obvious skill and passion you apply to the work to be a joy and inspiration . Thank you for sharing.
It's so so satisfying to see and hear sharp well maintained work tools in action.
The sound of sharp chisels and razor sharp plains brilliant brilliant video.
From England UK 🇬🇧
I love watching and listening to an old school carpenter/craftsman their knowledge and skill surpasses many great job!
You Sir, are a Master of your craft. And that's coming from a retired Machinist 😊
Carpenter here, can also confirm lol
He's aight... 🙄
I'm a landlocked hillbilly from Missouri, but I sure can appreciate the gentleman's skill and craftsmanship, pride in doing the job right, these are the kind of things that built this great nation 🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July America 💥
Happy 4th from another Missouri hillbilly!

Man, that was impressive. You have an intuitive approach to your woodworking. That raising the grain by scraping technique should be required learning in all woodworking classes. You just can't miss on a glue job that way. We were always taught "smooth, smooth, smooth", but you're right about the greatly increased surface area of raising the grain. It's like an accordian fold in the paper for a filter.
Wow!!! No waisted time or effort. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I like his way of looking at wood working, wood is wood no matter the trade, but he being a ship builder and myself being a furniture builder share the same way we look at wood being processed. Whoever you are sir, thank you for giving me tools of another trade to use in my own.
Skills that are being lost as time goes on. Thanks , Lou , for putting your self out there for all to see and learn from a true master. As a wood worker and not (yet?) a boat builder, I hope these videos are making it into other woodworking enthusiast's YT feed.
Your attention to detail is impeccable.
What a fine craftsman and narrator. I could watch and listen to this man for hours on end.
Always awesome to watch you work!!
What a great pleasure to watch someone who knows what he's doing.
Not sure how this popped up on my feed. Quite impressed watching this guy work. Makes you want to offer to work free with him just to catch some of that vast knowledge. Well done video, and I thoroughly enjoyed the explanation of it all.
Everytime I watch one of your videos I'm amazed at how effortless it is for you to show your craft. Good job bud
I love watching a true master at work...Thanks for another awesome video. As always a I learn something Thank you Have a nice day Lou C YA
When a craftsman truly loves what they do, the result is a work of art. 👍
Greetings from down under. You're a great teacher
I love doing work like that. I did hardwood flooring in San Francisco. My boss and I did some very prestigious jobs like the De Young museum refinish and some installs in Napa Valley. I can watch stuff like what you do for days. Thanks for taking the time to record and share with us.
These are the good old boys that made America great, hard working, attention to detail, and took pride in their work, love it!
Not sure why this was recommended to me but I’m glad it was. I’m subscribing when I’m done with this comment.
I’m not a boat builder, never have been/never will be but this is very interesting and this man is a craftsman. I love to learn new things regardless of their relevance to my trade.Thank you so much for sharing your craft.
Now i know what a scarf joint is. Like your use of older tools, shows you are a craftsman. thankQ.
this is one type of scarf joint - and a good one, for sure - but there many types. A scarf joint is typically used anytime you want to join two pieces of wood to make a longer piece.
Great detail and great fix , thanks for passing on your knowledge ...
Thank you for all the videos. I yet lack most of the skill and experience and i bought sailing cutter that will require a lot of deck replacing and possibly some hull planks. Hopefully not frames right of the bat. I am educating myself ahead and i am finding tons of overall knowledge here!
I don't know why this is on my feed but I like this guy.
thank you very much for sharing you hard won knowledge . 23 yrs as a marine mechanic still learning from you every video.
It's just so hypnotizeing watching a true master of there trade. Thank.you
I work in a wood door shop for a living, watching this is like work porn !! I Love it !!
Good stuff y’all 🤙🏻
Yeah you can only watch two men have sex for so long huh.
Take your knob out that knot hole
I can't. I've tryd. 😁
I love watching people who have a lot of experience and skills. I would come help him just to be able to learn.
Far beyond craftsmanship !
Always a pleasure when you come out with another great clip. Informative, with those extra little tips to make it perfect.
True craftsmanship like this is quickly becoming a lifestyle of the past.
If you could afford it wouldn't it be one of life's rewards to work with this guy for a couple of months....
I like your technique Lou. I've made scarfs 1:12 for gunwales on an iqyax (baidarka) and several other projects. I just glued them with epoxy because that's what was handy. I've found a good scarf behaves just as though the board was one entire piece, it usually bends as though it's just longer. Scarfs are good. For 3/4 x 1/4" thick western red cedar strips for stripper kayaks, I made a table saw jig. Little scarf cut offs near the back of the saw blade could be hazardous. But I made my sliding jig so that the long strip was securely clamped, but just above the jig base, then the little wedge cut off would flop over away from the blade. I made a Skilsaw jig for larger stock. If you need a 12 footer and you only have 8 footers? no problem. Neither of these would work for your planks, so it's good to see how you do it. Thanks
I know diddly shit about boats and only the slightly more than the basics about woodwork...I really enjoyed watching you work. That is excellent craftsmanship, sir.
A pleasure these videos are, great production and editing, great teachings from Lou.
You are great I love learning new things I can tell you have Probley done boat repairs and restorations your whole life and it shows .
You are a true craftsman my friend.
Great job I love the technique it makes so much sense - the entire boat should be built like that!
Likely will never have a wood boat but never miss an episode. Great Stuff! Thank you Louis
You are an amazing man! Your skill is unbelievable! You make it look so simple which really shows the level of your talent. Even more amazing is your humble nature and the way you so freely share your expertise with us. Thank you so much! I just subscribed.
Thank you for these. You explain what you are doing and why you are doing it very well.
It's nice to see that there are still "Craftsmen" still in the world.
just found your channel, will start building my boat in a few months and I know your channel will be a great reference for me..... thank you for creating this channel for us to learn from.
I love OG’s and their techniques. Reminds me of my Dad🙌🏽
Me too. My father was a cabinet maker. When he made a door seal, the tolerances were so close, it formed an air labyrinth seal. No dust inside! No felt or rubber seals. Museum cabinet tolerances.
mirimar69 awesome!
Very good video, you make it look easy, old shipyard work, sub and aircraft carries for 37 yrs!
That was a pleasure to watch. I learned a lot. 👍
Love watching a master craftsman do his thing, great work.
A Craftsman at work, thanks for sharing, thoroughly enjoyed watching you at work
An inspiring video. Seeing an older guy still working like that is good. It's not easy work and doing it for a long time can take your arm off.
A great instructor! Love to watch even if I don't work on boats, it's useful for any work you do.
Woodworking...so much fun..seems like the more I learn and know...the more I know I don't know!! Great vid!
Watching a skilled craftsmen never gets old nice job
You make this look easy. I sure appreciate the work that goes into even a small run about much less a 30 or 40 ftr..
Craftsmanship! A pleasure to watch.
I love watching a master at their craft, whatever that craft might be!
Amazing how you did that scarf without a jig, and have it matching exactly another scarf joint.
Amazing jod the old school don't have competition keep going guys 🥇
Man you are really amazing! Thanks for sharing your craft with me!! Just amazing
hope you have several apprentices your are a master boat builder thanks js
I learn a tick from every single video!
a pleasure to watch
What I've not seen anywhere is a collection of cut-away diagrams or photos of various boats for assisting the boat builder in understanding the different overall concepts of boat construction. I'm sure you have enough videos and pictures in this channel's content to put together a sizeable compendium of such a resource. A book with such photos and drawings (cut-aways and blow outs) would be a serious aid, something to reference when designing, repairing and building boats of all kinds. Just food for thought. It hit me while watching this video and seeing the ribs exposed with boards forming an outer and inner shell over them, I started wondering how many variations of shell combinations there are. In home building there are different combinations of wall construction layers, must be the same with boats but I've not seen much focus on that anywhere like there is for home construction.
Thanks for sharing your skills and taking the time to make a video!
lovely video Lou. would like to see how you matched the second scarf
Some good craftsmanship there. rare to see nowadays
Beautiful, Louis
Very Nice job as always looking good!!!👍💯👌
I messed with wood for years planeing doors, chesiled rooten wood etc, appreciate what i see thanks.
I couldn't stop watching , that was so good...thanks...brilliant. ..cheers
this channel is so good, love it!
Interesting method of combining power tools with ancient woodworking methods. The purists must hate it (like my old woodwork teacher) but anything to make the job easier is fine in my book!
Thinking of buying an old carvel planked MFV which needs partial (ha, ha,) replanking. It's 100 years old so not sure if I should combine modern glues / planking methods etc with the original building techniques....
Your tips are very helpful.
Subscribed (obviously)
Great tips from pro old timers!! 100%
A true craftsman.
I hope you kept making videos on Restoration.Like this one
Love it. Awesome hand tool
There seems to be a difference of opinion among shipwrights in regard to the reliance on adhesives - also on the relative advantages of scarfs vs butt blocks. Would like to see an in depth discussion between experts on these 2 topics.
good stuff ...like your vids ..keep em rollin.....⛵️
He is a real craftsman
Awesome video, thanks for the tips.
I'd gladly spend a day or ten helping this tradesman go about his business.
was a pleasure to watch
Just amazing craftsmanship!!
That right there is a very, very skilled craftsman.
Beautiful , simple and correct
Brilliant. Great teacher. Thank you.
HI. Nice video. I have a question: How do you know the degree of that scarf so you can match it on the new wood/tie in? Like when we build homes, and do all the cornice work on the ground, we do 7deg, and leave it back 2-3 ft....We know when we get up to tie in the corners, its a 7. I heard no explanation . Do you just like say "The thickness of the wood over 1 foot"? Something like that?
@John Mortellaro It didn't answer my question. Obviously I knew "how" I could do it, but this doesn't say this is how the craftsman did it. But thanks for confirming another would do it like I described above. Maybe there's a new trick to learn, and maybe there isn't. I still don't know.
John Mortellaro I think his point is if the angles don’t match there would actually be very little contact, simply a gap you couldn’t see
@@MirroringTruth He just measured out the same distance on each board and planned a flat slope to that line. As long as the boards are the same thickness and he made a flat slope they will fit together perfectly.
Your a true craftsman! How did you get the angles on each wood so close to make this joint? When doing this by hand its pretty difficult to get each angle true and flat so the wood can be glued.
and that’s how you do it the right way. wickid nice job !!!
I absolutely love your video.
Louis, i love how you made that look so simple...if i could only borrow your experience and brain for a week i'd tackle that in a heartbeat! was that a 12-1 ratio for the length of the scarf? Oh and one other thing....if you ever do a pason joint can you show that sometime?
Thanks so much for the vids!!
EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION!
you sir are a craftsman
