    A compass plane will be very handy on those curves. Thanks for your programs and your generosity by sharing so much.

    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! 👍

    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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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.
