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! 👍
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.
"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.
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)
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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!!
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..
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.
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?
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.
Great to see Lou showing us how to do it.
Im working on my first boat sketches because of you my friend! Im starting with a canoe and then going to move up to the skiffs!! Thank you!!
Lou making it look pretty since 1979!
A compass plane will be very handy on those curves. Thanks for your programs and your generosity by sharing so much.
Beast! Lou is a real professional. Glad he posts on UA-cam for us to see all the details.
Excellent filming; it really helps your storytelling.
So much common sense gathered from years of experience!! I can't wait to see this one on the water!!

Lou, without a doubt you are the best!!!
Nice draw tight in the scarf. I would expect nothing less from you and your experience, Lou.
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.

Another masterpiece...Thank You
Aww, thanks Lou! Beautiful. Can’t wait to see the finishing work. Who doesn’t hate listening to the damn router?!
Superb! Well done Lou! I can't wait to see her floating and cutting the waves!
I wish i would have discovered this guy years ago, reminds me of my old man!
Way to go, Lou!
I don't know that I have ever learned a fraction of your info from ANY other channel!
Really nice boat 🛶! 👍🏽👍🏽👊🏼👊🏼
Good show, I've been waiting. 😊
That would be a boat ANY mariner would be proud to own.

This has to be my favorite one you've done!

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.
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!
Looking good Louie
Very nice. I learn so much from you. Thank you.

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!
If I owned this skiff, it would be my most prized possession. What a work of practical art!
Looks fantastic can't wait to see it on the water !!

You do nice work man 👌👍
Always a real highlight ,I don’t know why but I love these videos, superb!
Kudos Lou.
Nearly in the water.
Can’t wait to see that.
Thanks Louie.
I’ve loved watching this build.
Lovely work. I can't wait to see this beast on the water!
Wonderful technique, Lou. Absolutely gorgeous boat
Great video Lou.
beautiful job, and thanks so much for all the tips from design and lofting to fairing and finishing. Even opening a beer bottle 😉
Amazing, I could watch and listen to Lou for ever, so skilled a true craftsman!
Fantastic Lou no other word for it. Thank you

Looking good Lou! Loved the close in camera work on the rails. Nice work Halsey.
Can't wait to see it sailing. Needs a big engine!

Looks very nice.
As always, beautiful work AND great camera work! Love it!

Beautiful craftsmanship Lou..those cap rails look perfect, I must admit, this skiff is one hell of a nice boat.
thanks Lou.
Amazing work, Lou! So awesome to see the construction finished - well done, friend!
Looking great!
Best quote.. "I wanted it to look like that.. I didn't want it to look stooopid..." hahaha

Beautiful work!
Great stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing the finish work!
So exciting
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.
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!
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?
looking good! What does the prospective owner want to use it for?
What motor will this beauty have?
Why are the cap rails not set flush to the edge of the guard? What's the purpose of the set back? Astetics?
Goddamn that draw-screwing method is brilliant.
Turned out alright.
Get that stuff Lou
Nice

HOW TO I GET A HOLD OF LOU?
Everyone should know why they do what they do.
Do you ever use soap or beeswax on the screws?
ADD SOMETHIN TO SET ON.
oh no when he finishes he'll disappear for a year like last time 😕
