Simplifying scarfs and a unique system for carvel planking: Tools & Tips #3
Вставка

- Our viewers have asked us how we cut over 500 scarfs on Evelyn's strip planking without going crazy. The answer is in this video. But there's more...
We're getting ready to start the second layer of carvel planking. Lou Sauzedde reveals the system he's perfected over the years. And it all starts with a custom circular saw that speeds and simplifies the planking process.

Been a woodworker for 40+ years and built a couple of small boats and kayaks....but heck there is always something new to learn and am greatful you are willing to share your experiences.
"You don't even need to see what your doing to do this properly" Louie, only you can say and get away with that my brother LOL.! God bless you man!
Yeah, Micheal Jordan shut his eyes on a free throw too!
you got a name check from Leo over on Tally ho for this progressive bevel saw. Great that these skills and techniques are still passing from craftsman to another.
Mr. Sauzedde is a National Treasure.
Excellent Lou. A great teacher believes in his students. We know you could do most of this blindfolded; by feel. But now you have us convinced that we can! I was lucky to have an incredibly experienced flight instructor. Early in training, he told me to taxi to a particular hangar, where he said he needed to jump out and “coffee up.” He casually said, “Take her around a few times.” Did I feel ready to solo? Hell no! But he knew I was, and I did fine. The airplane was incredibly quiet, but I heard his voice at every phase of the pattern. Not to get too grand, here, but your voice is in our heads as we do this. Thanks.
Safety is a top-ten priority 😉
You should sign a hundred of those off cut "door stops" and sell them for some swag to support the channel
I'd love to hangout for a day. And I never plan on owning, working on or building a boat.
Great video Dad!
It would be great to see this saw more closer
Always so much fun and inspiring watching your videos Lou! True grandmaster skill at work doing these craftments!
Ingenious. Great teacher,Lou.
Good work Louie, you should talk about cove and bead edge routing for the planks. It was actually suggested for use on my bill garden wood boat plans.
Amazing!
Louis, brilliant as usual...
I just want to say thank you, excellent...
I wish there was less time between videos.Keep up the awesome work.
I have the same old Walker Turner bandsaw. I always enjoy your videos!
Great Job Lou.
You've been talking over my head since you started. Amazing and fun to watch though. I don't have the words to express what I feel. Thank you.
Started my own jig today. I’ve got a toe rail job waiting for me in the spring. Thanks for sharing,
My first skillsaw was a Millers Falls drop foot, it was also my first job site tablesaw mounted under a piece of 1/4” plate. I really like the way you work and think Lou !👍😎💡
Brilliant master craftsman at work! You constantly amaze me, Lou.
Nice video, thank you for posting and sharing, i enjoyed it and your teaching/instruction!!!
About your scarf joint I think it is worth mentioning that the end results of the cut with the band saw is a perfect texture for the gluing...with EPOXY only. I'm pretty sure you, Louie, are very aware of this but I dont think all your viewers are.
You will find that dry mix urea formaldehyde and tube polyeurathane are fine for sawn joints (non or low foaming poly). I only know those things as holdfasts.
Good point Pierre. We're using epoxy on these scarfs. There are a number of reasons for this, including epoxy's gap filling properties. If you were using a resorcinol glue, for example, the joint should be closer fitting. Of course, there are tradeoffs here as well, including temperature, clamp pressure and pot life. We believe epoxy is the best choice for our conditions, but figuring out which adhesive is best is really a matter of experience, science and a little art.
Lou , my twin brother from a different mother, seriously if you saw my picture, we'd be doppelgangers, started in a trad boat builders at 13 yrs old , my dad was a boat builder too , love lou ,s no nonsense approach, and ways to achieve a quicker result ,which these days is necessary to help reduce the enormous build cost of,,, traditional construction , ,,
,
More from Lou, I'm sooooo lucky 😍

Who would downvote this? There’s always one.
I like guys who label stuff: the band saw takes '96" BLADS' (and we don't need no stinkin' spelin') and 'THREE PHASE' electric.
Speling does not stinc!
I had an old Walker Turner bandsaw. All cast iron. Sucker must have been a thousand pounds. I now have a Grizzly. Sucker resaws 10 inches of white oak like it was styrofoam and no drift.
You said sucker. Heh heh.
But can it open a beer bottle?
I dare someone to tell lou he is wrong. Ill fight you for him.
Someone had to build the tool that built the tools, and oftem times the tools you need don't even exist YET.
There is nothing to be learned from a 2nd mule kick
Word
🤣🤣🤣
See ya
Bye!
So Lou, both Acorn to Arabella and Tally Ho use a graduated bevel saw. Did they both copy your revolutionary design? Also, I'm interested in your idea of scarfs as opposed to butt blocks. Clearly you feel scarfs are superior. But Leo, from the Tally Ho project is using butt blocks. I'd be interested in your opinion.
I would be interested also
Steve at Acorn to Arabella stated that he got the idea from Lou, but he modified his saw slightly differently. Lou has done a video on the topic before - on the Tips from a Shipwright channel
I haven't started watching Leo's channel yet
The difference in materials and their thickness along with type of wood and situation would determine different approaches. Just like Lou said, a 1 in 7 scarf might be fair for one application vs a 1 in 12 for another. Leo has one layer of thick 1 1/2” x 8”- 10” anjalique lumber being installed vs Lou’s 2 layer laminated strip & carvel, and a scarf joint failure on Leo’s planking would be a huge failure if it happened. By fastening the backing blocks to the back of the butt joints you have less chance of failure. Leo could have used the backing blocks behind glued scarfs but their is nothing gained vs butts but more work.
@@trout4bait549 absolutely worth watching ,, leo and his teem , he's doing amazing work,
Hey Dale, they are two different methods, Lou is going the more glue strip plank for which scarves are better. You can hear Lou saying there will be no chalking.
Leo is going the more traditional carvel planking in which he describes his reasons 1 or 2 videos ago.
It’s a nice bandsaw. However, as nice as it is that bandsaw won’t open a beer. Too light weight.
This guy knows what’s up.
Lou this is brilliant. That is called a holdfast not a bench dog. I imagine you just misspoke but for people looking for them.
I would really like to hear your thoughts on bull and flute edges for the planking. I know you have designed the progressive bevel method, but what are the drawbacks in rounding over one edge and milling a flute on the other edge?
No
Challenge: I want to see the mask over the eyes.
Shut up and cut the "SCOFF"!
You've been talking over my head since you started. Amazing and fun to watch though. I don't have the words to express what I feel. Thank you.
