Building the V-Bottom Skiff - Episode 31: Finishing the knees and getting out the inwhales
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2022
- This week we're installing the inwhales on our V-Bottom Skiff so we need to finish up our knees to accept them. The laminated knee and top figured knee have already been dry fit but they need to glued or at least clamped up in place. So what we're doing is we're going to mix up and spread our TotalBoat epoxy on the two pieces off the boat, then move them into the boat and pull both layers tight against the transom and side planking before then clamping them together vertically. This allows us to them remove the pieces from the boat so they can dry and then be re-installed as one piece. With our knees in place, it's time to saw our inwhales down to size and get them in the boat.

His hand comes so close to that table saw blade -- more drama and suspense than anything on Netflix. Yaaaaghhh!
What a dream to work with such a brilliantly skilled man.
I know you know what you're doing, but my stomach gets all knotted up when I watch your fingers get so close to that table saw blade and you're pushing that long board through without a feather stick.
Double whammy upload for this week!
Lou is the best!
"… and I'm going to show you guys just exactly how I go about it, because it's something you might run into at some time." Bless you, Lou, but I potter around in my shed a few times a week. Build the occasional box-shaped thing or turn a vase sometimes. Any problems that cause you to stop and think and work out a procedure are going to be in projects light years above my level of skill. As a 20 year navy veteran, I don't even get to mess around in boats any more. By gosh I love your videos though.
Haha....yeah I agree, man
Those knees are amazing. There won't be any racking in those corners. Thank you for sharing Lou.
Amazing work sir!
Incredible stuff!!
Far be it from me to judge. You've been running a table saw your entire life and I count 10 fingers. But man, that's cutting it closer than i do.
Your the best, thanks for the lesson. That glue trick is right on, as well as everything else.
Your "home-made" "plywood" knees are likely stronger than buttress grown knees everywhere but in holding the screws (if the screws are centered in a joint). However, with the use of the epoxy as the glue, still probably stronger there as well, once fully cured. I'm thinking the only down side is the aesthetic of the stacked edge as seen from the inside of the boat, and that is down to viewer preference. A laminate could always be glued on and the edges finely beveled. Then it would take someone who really knows wood grain to pick out the grain not matching the top surface. Personally, I think they will finish out bright or painted quite well.
Great Job, Lou.
Making great progress, Lou! Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks!
thanks Lou.
We could be Brothers we look the same enjoy youre vids bro

This is such a cool project, it's so informative. and entertaining!!
i was a boat builder and joiner for 50 + years and it always makes me nervous when i see a table saw being used without a riving knife or guard
You should be nervous, or at least careful ! But you have to do stuff efficiently and guards and knives take a long time to change over. I have been in the building game a long time as well, including a fair bit of boat repair,still got all my bits ! Most of the chippies I know end up taking off guards and knives and losing the bits ! being aware of what you are doing is key !
The place to be nervous is anywhere near a crane !!
I cant remember ever using a guard in my lifetime, on any of my machines, You have to see where the blade is...I won't lie however, no guard on a jointer makes me "extra" careful with my fingers.
Love these videos. Double feature today. Stoked.
I’m not going back to do it, but someone might like to count how many times Louis says “clamp” in this video !
New vid! Going to be a good day.
Thanks Lou, coming along nicely!
Hi Lou, have you ever considered a power feeder on your saw? We use them on every tablesaw and shaper in our shop and love them.
The boat is looking great.
About those knees, if that corner is hit with a heavy impact it most certainly will not bust, that boat might go over. that's about it.
Where is he I love watching. Anyone know? Thank you
do you ever use Titebond 3 waterproof glue ???
¡EXCELENTE Pelicula! Muchas gracias, es la segunda gisellee.monster vez que veo este gran obra del cine Western Clásico y me encanta muy buena película. Saludos desde Arenillas, República del Ecuador, Sudamérica. Graciasb y bendiciones *soludos.
Lou, what's your opinion on epoxy and white oak. I have some frames and stern post timbers I need to replace In a 1944 motor whaleboat. Can I just use regular epoxy or should I be using total boat flex or the west system equivalent g flex I think it is? I've read a million places and it seems like everyone has a different opinion on White oak and epoxy and it's strength. Thank you.
I can only watch and cringe at the fingers near the saw blade. Gotta be a safer way 😮
Count his fingers!
Truth of the matter- A race car driver knows his machine, knows his risk and is at the top of his game. If he recks and makes it through he figures out what went wrong and figures out a faster way. Lou is no different he probably has scars but we watch him not so he take out a digit, we watch to see him finish the race. Only difference here is we know he's gonna win!
Don't pick a man apart that is at the top of his game, observe, learn, listen.
All the young hipster SawStop buyers I'm sure will just soil their drawers and shudder & shake at the sight of Lou's table saw use. Man up, boys, this is how it's done!
