3:50 ... gotta love Your choice of gloves! Gives the whole vid an awesome touch of workshop reality (despite the PR-character One can't deny watching Your well done pieces).
Great video, and a gorgeous outcome. I made a tiller for a pal with similar laminations of 3 oak and two teak (no bending was required) and used epoxy thickened with 2/3 teak flour and 1/3 West 404 to make a really strong glue joint that had that same coloured feel that you've achieved with the carbon. I think the carbon idea was brilliant.
The rudder head, specifically the webbing around the bolt hole, is the weak spot. I think. You could probably break it if you used the tiller as a spring board and weighed 400 pounds. Beautiful craftsmanship.
+MISTERComaToes Different woods even from the same tree have different spring-back rates. Steaming wood to exact forms is more of an art rather than science. Get it close enough and allow the fastening/bonding materials do it's part of the job.
Fred The wife and I are watching this episode again on our TV. She noticed You have Odd gloves on... Now where is the "Wardrobe Department? Nice shirt though.. Obviously you are a technically centred guy, rather then a visual artist/ performer.... gotta love it! Ed and 'The Mrs.'
Respect. That's what a call a professional woodartist!!
If I had a boat and the resources I would definitely bring it to this marina! She's going to be one hell of a boat
What a pleasure to watch and listen to a craftsman. Excellent video. Thank you.
Very clever. Enjoying watching your progress with the Cal 40 Restoration... ;-}
Very impressive bit of woodworking there!

Wonderful to watch, such craftmanship
That is just beautiful. Such a cool vid. Thank you.
Beautiful!! I'm following your progress with great enthusiasm
Great video, tiller came out beautiful.
Amazing series - so much to learn!

Jakfilm Made mine with Malaysian Teak. Do you recommend sealing it with epoxy or is just Teak Oil okay?
Awesome videos, been following your channel for some time now, but the tiller video I like the best so far, keep up the good work
fine job. looking forward to seeing it on the boat one day.

Awesome fabrication... Why wouldn't you take into account the spring back of the bent wood into your first set of forms?
