It’s evident that you have worked alone a lot & come up with some brilliant ways of getting it done alone. Your methods are as interesting as the projects.
Someone commented on one of the videos that you should have left the old boat where it was. Too far gone and nothing but trash. You got the boat for next to nothing. I think it is great that the pile of trash is becoming a work of art. You are able to display many of your skills and teach others. You could not have found a better subject. And do it with hard word and little money and most everyone is happy. I like the way your brother checked out your work while you were not looking. ;-)
Lou, not sure you ever respond to questions, but here goes. Are you ever concerned that the out side rivet head has buried it's self too deep into the outer rail as to not be able to hold with the added pressure of the tightening? I ask this because it appears on the video that the bolt used to buck the rivet is buried in the plug hole, not leaving much more distance before it would be the total thickness of the outer rail. Cannot get enough of your lessons on boat work....thank you very much. greg
pkav8tor Great question Greg - You are exactly right. We actually ended up changing the system to address just that and still keep the sheer plank removable. Stay tuned!
I am a master carpenter..............Or I thought I was This guy is freaking AWESOME!! I'm now thinking am I even worthy enough to sweep his saw dust??? I"m blown away.. Have a great day Louis sir C YA
Loved the videography in this episode, that was fun and gave me a chuckle. I'd love to see more of that in the future. Great technique also, by the way, thanks for sharing that.
Yep, I bet you have done this type of work once or twice before. Really look forward to all of your videos. You show much great info is such a short video. Just wish you made many more. Just me being selfish, thank you for sharing.
We're. do you buy them rivets and Wat is there name I am a welder fab pipe welder but I am doing up a 24 foot fishing boat was left 2 me I live in Ireland Wat my best tip timber I have to replace the 2 sides she got squeeze but there are groves on each side of timber that slot in to each other did you ever work with plastic ribs mind not bad but rather safe than sorry I have no steam box g am going to use plastic pipe as my steamer thank men like u help build better boats thanks
Neat trick with the file and all but I would have just made a bucking bar from some crap bar stock if I had to do more than a rivet or two.Even without a welder you could have drilled and bolted it together.But I guess since most of my woodwork is on aircraft I'm a little more accustomed to bucking rivets ;) Nonetheless all too often i see folks struggle with things instead of making a tool or jig to get the job done.
How to tighten rivets on the wooden boat REMORA (1928) Herreshoff 12 1/2 (Part 3) - Continuing his work on REMORA, Lou demonstrates how to tighten the rivets that hold the sheer plank and the sheer clamp together. Once they are clamped together each rivet can be tightened. This classic Herreshoff 12 1/2 built in 1928 is in the shop for an extensive repair that will bring her back to racing condition.

The same thought occurred to me. The rivets look inadequate to carry the load. The problem with bolts is that the heads and the nuts would have to be counter-sunk and it looks like the wood members are too thin.
***** But look at the size of the framing. If you watch the last video on the playlist, you can see how he changed the design by gluing oak blocks between the frames along the top and screwing the entire assemblage together. That's much stronger and it spreads the loads and stresses. It's much more rigid.

These are some of the greatest videos. I know nothing about boats the skill and pragmatism in each "lesson" can translate to so many things.

Glad I found you channel!!!

Very very Nice job as always!!!💯👍👌
Beautifully explained and very nicely done filming. Liked the twin effect :D
Oh and just noticed the bike, she's pretty.
great videos! one right after the other, each one chock full of interesting facts & techniques. thanks!
I don't really like long videos but these could go on for a long time in my book!
You are getting pretty good at editing.
That's awesome! Great information and great photography.
You should have had your twin help buck those rivets after he set up the scaffold. Very nice editing and content - thank you.
Man, you do great work!
Bit of a noob question, but why not replace the rivers with bolts/nuts and washers and torque down the nuts?
Great work, love the vids, and BEAUTIFUL bike!
Great Job. Learned a bit. Thanks...
Nice subtle doppelganger gag. :D

hello love you videos. nice to have you avatar helping
Genius!

What the heck was that? Your twin moving tools around?
Hilarious, though. Seems out of character which makes it funny.
I know how I can put a tool down and not be able to find it two seconds later. Maybe I ought to set a camera up and catch my twin screwing with me.
Ha, love it.

I was wondering how he was getting so much done. He's got a silent partner.
Fascinating work, surely becoming a lost art. Too bad.
@ 0:38 is that his brother ?
It's his silent partner. Imagine two Louis giving it lip at the same time?
I bought Woodglut once and now I have lifetime access to thousands of woodworking projects.
Poetry.
Well is looks pretty obvious that one Lou isn't enough.
It won't be long before that rivet is as loose as it was when you started.
sneaky :)
