Building the V-Bottom Skiff: Episode 36: Final steps of construction
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лип 2022
- We've finally come to the last bits of construction on our V-Bottom Skiff. This week we're out to glue up and fasten down our caps. This may seem like an easy step but it's actually pretty complicated and important that we get it right or we'll have spaces showing clear as day on top of our caps. The secret it to fasten it down from one end to the other and also prop the ends up when we drill them so there's a little space between them when we remove the prop causing the screws to pull the caps tightly against one another at the scarfs.

That would be a boat ANY mariner would be proud to own.
Best quote.. "I wanted it to look like that.. I didn't want it to look stooopid..." hahaha
Great to see Lou showing us how to do it.
Lou making it look pretty since 1979!
"I want it to look nice. I don't want it to look stupid" 😂 Hahahh that's exactly why I love Lou. He has taught me so much. I can't wait to share it with others. Thanks Lou.
Nice draw tight in the scarf. I would expect nothing less from you and your experience, Lou.
I wish i would have discovered this guy years ago, reminds me of my old man!
It's amazing to me that you give every square inch of that boat your utmost attention.Like you said,there"s a way to do everything. I'll never forget you or these videos. THANK YOU.
Beast! Lou is a real professional. Glad he posts on UA-cam for us to see all the details.
Aww, thanks Lou! Beautiful. Can’t wait to see the finishing work. Who doesn’t hate listening to the damn router?!
Another masterpiece...Thank You
Excellent filming; it really helps your storytelling.
Lou, without a doubt you are the best!!!
So much common sense gathered from years of experience!! I can't wait to see this one on the water!!
The sound of a sharp plane working such nice wood, o man... I don't know why, but traditional wood-working resonates with me, just like this video does! 👍
I don't know that I have ever learned a fraction of your info from ANY other channel!
Lou is such a great teacher. He is so good at explaining his skill. I know nothing about boat building, but watching his videos makes me think…maybe, one day 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Goddamn that draw-screwing method is brilliant.
Superb! Well done Lou! I can't wait to see her floating and cutting the waves!
The amount of foresight Lou shows in these videos is amazing! I am sure, a lot of it has been learnt through annoying experience - but I know lots of people who will not learn that thorroughly from experience. So, I want to express my highest respect for the way things are done and explained on this channel! Kudoz, Lou!
Really nice boat 🛶! 👍🏽👍🏽👊🏼👊🏼
I am so proud and privileged to have made my tiny contribution to the building of this beautiful boat, Lou. I cannot describe the joy I get from watching a master shipwright like you at work. Thank you! And thank you for all te tips, too. Every day there's a new video out my week is made.
If I owned this skiff, it would be my most prized possession. What a work of practical art!
Way to go, Lou!
Back in the day, Lou when every carpenter had to know how to close a gap or move a timber one way or another, toe nailing and nailing on an angle to the shear line was a common skill,, but with the advent of guns, which shoot the nails so fast the timber doesn't move, that subtlety has been lost for the most part,, I can't tell you how many young guys, I've worked with that have never framed a house with only a hammer are amazed see how it works to close a gap, or bring to plank edges co-planer,, the house carpenters that I know, that pay attention to the trade, have a generally universal opinion that wooden boat builders are the "Bishops" in church of wood working,, so thanks again for showing us alter boys one of those hard earned priestly secrets of closing a gap with out springing the board open someplace else and messing up a perfectly simple glue up,, I think over the years l've plugged a couple thousand counter-sunk screws,, but I'll bet you've got a couple tricks in you bags that this old dog can take advantage of,,, love you're show Louie,, best of luck, continued success with the channels and may your health give us die-hard fans another 20 years of TFS!!
Same principal as Draw Boring in furniture joinery. Makes an incredibly strong joint. Thanks again, Lou, for all you do to teach all of us!
Very clever Lou, the inclined screws work perfectly, you could see the scarf joint closing as they went in. Very nice job as always, am really looking forward to seeing you going flat out in this beautiful boat. Maximum horsepower will be no problem shes built like a tank so go for it! :0)
Good show, I've been waiting. 😊
Nearly in the water.
Can’t wait to see that.
Thanks Louie.
I’ve loved watching this build.
Watching this built has been a wonderful experience for me. Thanks for sharing from your vast knowledge of tricks and tips. I kind of feel like an understudy.
This has to be my favorite one you've done!
A compass plane will be very handy on those curves. Thanks for your programs and your generosity by sharing so much.
Finally saw my name on your board Lou! Glad to continue to support you. I learn something every time I watch you. Feel like your apprentice, ha. Great video!
Love these videos! I have the same Milwaukee drill. I bought it used in 1992 for $60... 30 years of full time use and it still runs great.
Thank you Lou for a wonderful evening video. The boat is looking fantastic and that is a great tip on fastening down the cap rail. I would have never thought about doing it that way. Always a good lesson to learn from you.
I wish I could afford to have a boat like that. Like he said every fisherman asks him about this type of boat because it is the ideal size and shape for coastal fishing.
Amazing, I could watch and listen to Lou for ever, so skilled a true craftsman!
Very nice. I learn so much from you. Thank you.
Always a real highlight ,I don’t know why but I love these videos, superb!
Lovely work. I can't wait to see this beast on the water!
Looking great!
Looks fantastic can't wait to see it on the water !!
thanks for explaining straight slot screws in woodworking. I was a younger man for years working on older craftsmen's assemblies and grew to hate them. I never use them, especially of soft metal. but knowing your frustration with other heads- i hear the logic.
Can't wait to see it sailing. Needs a big engine!
Looking good Louie
Wonderful technique, Lou. Absolutely gorgeous boat
Looking good Lou! Loved the close in camera work on the rails. Nice work Halsey.
As always, beautiful work AND great camera work! Love it!
beautiful job, and thanks so much for all the tips from design and lofting to fairing and finishing. Even opening a beer bottle 😉
Great video Lou.
So exciting
You do nice work man 👌👍
Beautiful craftsmanship Lou..those cap rails look perfect, I must admit, this skiff is one hell of a nice boat.
Kudos Lou.
thanks Lou.
Fantastic Lou no other word for it. Thank you
Amazing work, Lou! So awesome to see the construction finished - well done, friend!
Looks very nice.
Thank you for this stuff. I love it. The next one i build will be " the real one" and i plan on doing it without a million power tools.
Love it!
Great stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing the finish work!
Beautiful work!
Get that stuff Lou
Great work as always Lou !! Bought a Ryobi electric planer and set it up like you did.. excellent tool.
it would be great if you did a video on how you sharpen and maintain your planes, chisels, and saws..
Great presentation sir. What do you think about a 32'-8-1/2' beam with a semi- v bottom trawler
What motor will this beauty have?
Turned out alright.
Nice
Really nice work! One question, why don't you use that kind of curved planer as I have seen on "The art of boatbuilding" here on UA-cam when planing the scarf?
Why are the cap rails not set flush to the edge of the guard? What's the purpose of the set back? Astetics?
nicenicenice
looking good! What does the prospective owner want to use it for?

Everyone should know why they do what they do.
HOW TO I GET A HOLD OF LOU?
Do you ever use soap or beeswax on the screws?
Ｐｒⓞм𝕠𝕤𝐌
ADD SOMETHIN TO SET ON.
oh no when he finishes he'll disappear for a year like last time 😕
Lou, I am only a $5/month Patreon supporter, I hope you’re actually getting my $5/month as I’ve not seen my name on your Patreon board in your shop. I’m not necessarily looking for the credit, rather I hope you’re not missing even $5 from a supporter.
