Easy to understand,meaningful information,natural born instructor. The best videos ,far the best videos. Love them. Thanks Louis!
This guy is the Bob Ross of wood boat restoration.
fir planking! got my saw mill going and Im planning a fir build out west. like to see more of that boat or any other fir material, great videos, enjoy watching you work
How'd your build go, if you ever started. I have a mill on the central oregon coast and have my choice of fir, hemlock, spruce, or red cedar and port orford cedar for planks
You are a craftsman my man , I have just purchased a 16' Dunphy and I wish you lived next door haha, it will need stripped and new finish I will be back for more of your videos , Thank you for sharing your skills !
I live in a land landlocked area but I really enjoy watching these videos
OMG that is an intense amount of work!
kmonnier lol that is what I was thinking. Holy crap that is a lot of work. In the end though the result is a job properly done and it'll last for many years. I'm thinking he gets paid well for that kind of job.
Superb as always. It looks like you are sitting in a good airstream flowing in from your right side, taking the fumes and dust away. Always take good care of yur lungs ...
Well done and great running commentary.
Alot of amazing tips ,thanks!
one can use a conventional HOT AIR GUN that does not have that massive nozzle on it.. and a Bent burn off tool that looks like something you flip burgers with. but it gets your hands far enough back to keep them from getting toasted by the heat.. just ask the hardware store or paint store clerks for a bent burn off tool. please have a water filled garden sprayer handy.. and don't do this on lap board siding on homes.. the hot air can set the materials behind the lap board on fire and burn the house down hours after you leave.
You must be a pretty cool dude if you can make peeling paint interesting. You're a pretty cool dude, Lou.
Louis, after just finding these video's of your work methods and watching a few, I'm going to go out a limb here and say that you might have had a machinist background. I started as a machinist and have been shipwrighting a bit over the last 20 years and have used tools as you, some very dangerous or completely unorthodox in the wrong hands but with care and some sense of the danger, can get the job done quickly and effectively. Have you tried a Roto-Broach yet?
Lou, while you were board sanding I noticed you have some strong 💪 looking arms for an older gentleman. I bet you could put me down with 1 punch.😵💫
Thanks for the paint removal tips. I once repainted a classic tollycraft 16 ft runabout. It took a lot of expensive paint remover. It also took a lot of time. My restoration would have been much better if your tips had been available back then. Your heat gun is almost as powerful as a flame thrower. 😆
WestCoast tip, Makita Variable Speed Sander, with 8" hard foam 3M or Norton pad, used with 60 grit or 80 grit pre stick sanding disks, as Lou says, keep it moving. The pro,s strip paint with this also.
This is my way taking layers of bottom paint off. I also can do topsides and they turn out very smooth. Even more smooth after I use orbital sander.

This guy is amazing
I notice you are outside wooding the boat, I’ve always been told never have direct sunlight on bare wood. What are your thoughts on this?
I typically work by starting low and moving I’ll wards. The heart rises, so you preheat the paint before you get to it.
Dear sir. I have my grandmothers antique cedar robe that my brother painted with commercial boat paint. Can you tell me how I can refurbish back to the cedar. I can’t give it away because it’s been in my family since childhood. I would pay for the knowledge I just can’t let it go. Please help me. Thanks you for your help and May god bless you.
I remember working on a wood boat that had literally 20 layers of paint on it. We ended up using a roofing torch and a scraper
That must have been a headache . That must have looked good when finished .
ok but I was wondering what to do between the boards , apply epoxy putty ?
Hello Louis. Do you thing I can also strip off the anti-fouling Paint with the heat gun? Actually I have to restore the Hull of a 60 Years old 43 footer wooden Sailing boat. I really apreciate your help. Thank's a lot, Bruno
hi i have a wooden boat whats the best way to fill the gaps in the planks i have some wide gaps in the planks above waterline
Excellent info! Can you use this heat gun paint removal on painted 1/4 in marine plywood?
My son scraped of all the paint on his wooden boat and now he wants to paint it...Does he need to oil it first?? I can't find any videos about that😢😢😢
I saw a fibreglass hull the other day with fake planking seams, thought it was funny with wood shipwrights making planking look like it came out of a mould and fibreglass shipwrights making their hulls look like it's uncaulked planking
Would this work on a fiberglass dinghy?
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!
Good info. Thanks?
Берегите руки !
Can you use this technique on a fiberglass boat? I would image temperature control would be even or important.
You are kidding, right? If not, your school should pay back all the money for the time you spent there.
Maybe wearing a modestly protective fire-proofed glove for the right hand would not be a bad idea?
great work.
but, no mask ?
Oh shut up
What if it's old lead paint? Don't you need a fancy mask?
nice video...why not sand blasting the paint off ?
Much more $$
Much more 🕐
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha We all apply way more paint than we need too. :-)
i hope they pay you well
Just a curious naive person, but why couldn't sandblasting, soda-blasting, or dry ice-blasting work?
+LittIegator To sandblast any planked boat would damage the plank edges (the seams) which is the most important part of the boat. And that boat is built of a soft wood so it would be badly pitted.
Soda blasting is very effective and you can set the pressure so it doesn't touch the wood. However, you would need a very expensive commercial grade sized soda blaster to do jobs of this size. I have a smaller consumer grade one, which works great to taking off those small "leftover" areas of paint instead of using the saw blade like was. Far less marks on the wood, in fact, none.
I think it might help people if you went into a little more detail about what the word "fair", means, when doing this. You are a fine worksman and I am sure you have done a great job but to someone who doesnt know, "fair", could mean many nice things other than the particular thing it describes in the surface of a hull.
Term: fair (adj)
Definition: 1) Referring to the shape of a vessel’s hull, smooth and flawless, with one curve flowing into the next one smoothly and with beauty, having no bumps or bulges or imperfections of line or construction which catch the eye. 2) Having sunshine and moderate winds and seas.
Don't do this unless a test for lead in the paint reveals none.

Why not using the planer imediately?
I was wondering the same thing did you ever get an answer whether just using the planer would work to remove the paint
I've used them to remove paint and while it works it kills the blades and just isnt worth the hassle.I might do it again for a small section or if i had to strip a plank etc but that is it.Truthfully I'd recommend to avoid trying it but as with anything your results may vary.
you'd totally fuck the blades
wow, no mask
I don’t know this is a great method but dangerous. This man is an expert but a weekend warrior could get burned . I suggest heat resistance gloves
I dont care how good you are with that sander there is no way you can call that surface fair. People will see this and think its OK to use a rotary or orbital sander when its the quickest way to fuck the job up. Not fair.
Depends on the grit size, its the only way to do it short of media blasting.
