This dude has easily become my favorite content creator! The smooth balance between entertaining, awesome projects, and sage advice for your own work really makes every video an enjoyable experience. This channel, and John Malecki’s never disappoint!
I recently found your channel ( within the last month or so) and I have to tell you, you are IMHO, the most entertaining woodworking channel on UA-cam. I really look forward to your videos. I can't wait for the next couple of boat building vids!
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Hey TotalBoat! It’s awesome seeing a company engaging with creators that use your products. I have watched many creators that use your products for boat building and other uses, the results speak for themselves.
Excellent. Thanks because your video brought back memories of the boat I built in high school, a Mini Max Hydro Plane in 1965. Loved it! I was chased down on a public lake by the local sheriff and told I could not run the “Pot Licker” on the lake even though I had the legal size maximum motor (5 hp). When I asked why he said, “because you can out run me”.
8:1 scarf joint for your plywood next time. Would be faster than driving up to Washington for the pre cut puzzle joints. Not hard for a guy with your skills! I've built 3 boats and will be eagerly waiting for the next installment.
About 23 years ago a friend asked me to build a bridge for his wife, like the one in some Van Gogh painting. 3' x 14' Wanted treated wood arches. Glued them with 5200. He liked it so well he wanted a bigger one for a different location. This one was 6' wide and 16' long. I was shocked when he drove his tractor over it. They are still there, so that 5200 is good stuff. Nice job on your boat so far.
5200 is amazing stuff. There's only one rule about it. NEVER use it on anything you may want to take apart again, ever. Misused 5200 is responsible for more cursing amongst sailors than any other substance.
Must say very well presented! When in high school as a fly fishing addict in Oregon I wanted a drift boat...couldn't afford one so in HS shop built 2, sold the first one and it paid for mine. I was so over my head in compound tapered angles.....took forever....no plans ... just duplicating a boat....bevel gauge ect.. So no screw guns, tract saw....had a counter sink to predrill ribs, chines, bow stern....every screw installed with a hand screw driver...!!! If I would have known about a low speed, variable speed electric drill.....first I would wareout my right hand then my left....back and forth....repeat..so boring... I would have loved to watch your vedio in 1969.....!! You have done an excellent job of making it so clear. Want to see the rest if your vedios. Fellow Oregonian just jim Buy the way. Intrelux Perfection makes the very best exterior marine finish in terms of finish longevity. Beat out about 40 competitors in extensive testing. 2 component product. I don't sell anything but woodwork, so connection to them.
Awesome project! I built a Don Hill 18 ft drift boat 2 years ago. I love it. Dave, who sell the plans is really helpful if you have questions. Wooden drift boats are very quiet on the water. You won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait for part 2!
@@garywilson267 if your having trouble call Dave. His number should be listed on the website. He was helpful when I had questions. I forget the angles off the top of my head, should be in the plans. If your having trouble making the cuts themselves practice of scrap cheep wood until you get it right. Also the UA-cam channel tipsfromshipright is a helpful too.
@@garywilson267 like you would for any other piece. I don’t know what you’re having trouble with. If you’re struggling I would practice on a scrap piece of wood.
Awe, I love this! There's a wooden sailboat sitting in my dad's workshop waiting to be completed. He started it when he was 16! He just celebrated his 75th...
I have been watching boat building videos for the past three months for my own build some day. Let me say that thus far your build has been the best real build that is easy to follow. By the way, the most entertaining by far. Thanks.
Man, I've never really cared too much about building a boat and besides Nick Offerman (hero) and Gibbs from NCIS, I'm not sure I've even heard of anyone building a boat. That being said, after watching this first part, I WANNA BUILD A BOAT!!! Can't wait to see how it comes out. Thanks for a great channel and great content.
Nice! More quality work. Top tip from a sailor - The pointy end is the bow, the square end is the stern. I wanted to jump in the screen and lend a hand but you nailed it (as usual).
Damn! Damn! Damn! You hooked me in! Now I have to literally sit here and stare at my computer until part 2 makes it's appearance! Man, this build is fantastic and I hope the boss approved of your work so far. Lol I will be tuned in for part 2.
I was rather surprised on how relatable your intro was! If I had a dollar ever time that happened to me, I could have bought a boat instead of watching you make one. I'm hooked!
Love this!!!! I'm gonna build a boat!...... Sometime..... in the future...... When asked "what are you building Chris?" I always answer, "I'm building a boat" And of course my first question to other framers/cabinet makes "wow!..Are you building a boat?"
As someone who knows even less about boat building than you do, it's looking real good so far! My opinion may not be worth much, but sometimes knowing that it at least looks plausible helps!
I’m looking forward to the next vid in this series - that’s quite an undertaking! It was nice to see your foreman in there too. I’m sure he’s ready to go for a ride. 🙂
My absolute favourite book as a child was "Bolger boats", a combination of all (famous boat designer) Philip Bolger's books... Just boat plans with some anecdotes about them. Simple kayaks, rowboats, sailboats, cross-atlantic rowboats, houseboats, a trireme, ... and also "folding schooners", three-mast things with a hinge in the middle so you can put them on a simple trailer. I'm still plotting to build Archaeopterix, basically a surfboard with a plank to sit on, if I'll live next to the sea at some point.
I dunno, I was kinda digging the fun, anti-Jackman-esque vibe to the opening. 'Useless pallet'... sniff, sniff. I really look forward to the finished project and the Foreman's look when he's vested up and on the water.
Great video series. I keep circling back around to the drive to build a wooden boat. Good to hear someone with the same mentality, actually follow through
Dude, I just found your channel and watched the subaru camper thingy an this video - instant sub. Love your style of video and keeping it light with that dry humour. Love it. Thanks man :)
I was leery at first, because this isn’t your usual thing. Then you got so “incisive” and introspective. It was nice. Now I wanna build a boat and I don’t have space. Thanks a lot. Love ya man.
hey yall, just wondering if you got the name of the folks in washington who sold you that nice CNC cut plywood cause maybe i want to give them a ring on the old telephone.
Hey, I’m 68 y/o now & I still have “All” my own hair. My son, 37 y/o started loosing his hair before he finished High School. Inherited that/those “Genes” from his mother. He started shaving his head not long afterward. Love the “Boat”. Anthony
The first 30 seconds of this video convinced me to subscribe to this channel. The 'This Old Tony' style humor were the best parts. Keep up the good work!
I bought these same plans recently. They come with a video which is memorable, helpful, but missing crucial details and modern machinery. You are filling in crucial blanks and keeping us all entertained at the same time. Keep up the great work.
I converted a 14 foot rowboat into an outboard motor boat when I was 15 years old. Loved watching you build your row boat. Great sense of humor. I shared one of your installments to my FB page. I began losing my hair when I was in my early 20's. My father said, "You had wavy hair. Looks like it's waving goodbye." During my weekly calls home in my college days my mother use to tell me about the latest methods for reversing hair loss. I ignored her motherly attempts to protect me from the inevitable. The last time she gave me hair loss advice she became upset when I asked her to stop. She said, "I told you you shouldn't smoke pot!" To which I replied, "It's not from smoking pot mom, it's from all my masturbation." She never mentioned my hair loss again!
3M 5200 is pretty solid for boat building. You do want to ensure your wood is joined exactly as you want it before it cures. You'll destroy any wood you've joined trying to get it apart otherwise. I've used that before making a Puddle Duck Racer.
Drift boat will probably be my next boat build, soon as I recover from building my last one. Seems to be about a one-every-three-years addiction. No wood flour filler on the puzzle joints? I’ve only ever scarfed and butt-jointed/glassed with marine ply. Usually you add wood flour (saw dust) to your epoxy to thicken it to a ketchup consistency, then glue with that. The glue ends up stronger than the wood that way, but still conforms to stitching.
I built a similar 14' boat (from plans) many years ago with zero woodworking and/or epoxy skills -- very much a learning experience, ha ha! I had a small Craftsman bandsaw, a jigsaw, and a drill (and a ton of mini c-clamps). Same problem with the long plywood, but had to use a simple butt joint with a rectangle of plywood expoxied/screwed over the joint (and then hand-filed the screw points off). I would've loved to have the plywood puzzle ends that you procured -- seems like a much more elegant solution! Your boat looks fantastic!
Excellent work! As a builder of a boat myself, you better be ready for more and more and more and more sanding. And a few more coats of epoxy. Did i also mention that you're gonna be doing some additional sanding? Be also warned that when you tell people that you built a boat... the first question they always ask is... "Does it float?" Looking forward to the next video. Cheers
I followed only a week ago, and you just happened to start my dream project. coincidence ? I am not sure any more ... 7:02. Awesome videos I will now have to add this channel to my notification list.
I built a "Strip Built Kayak called The Guillemot" about 10 years ago........I feel your pain/anxiety. I had never built anything like it before and it will make you question your sanity just before you start, but it was worth it and I want to build another one, one of theses days only this time I'll build a "stick and glue" one.
Funny cute.chines are for attaching sides to bottom and may or may not be attached to frames. Frames are usually called ribs. Depends more on size of boat. Marine plywood...eh not of fan of plywood myself. Also yet another built from plans kit. If you want to sail this later on, which is quite fun and addictive. You may want to install runners
I've been building boats since I was 5...well, the first one was actually a door with a 2X4 for a mast nailed to it with a hinge. You are going to have a fine boat! Love your videos, (and the foreman).
was so happy to learn that it's 16' long...my wood shop in the basement, is 20' long so i am ok..will start building it soon....by the way it must be so fun to be, in your head...great work Sir
I've done a 8ft stitch and glue boat - got me thinking about elongating panels. Haven't tried it yet but had the idea of just routing 2 or 3 shallow, half depth, grooves on panel ends that would interlock in the same way those fancy CNC cuts do - personally I would have modified the design a little shorter than 16ft to accommodate the splice and still get by with two panels and one seam. Good carpentry skills and good work on the content too. Writing, editing, subject matter - all A+
1. I love your personality B. I love your channel name And III. I love watching your woodworking! Seriously one of the best channels I've discovered in at least a year or more!
Nice Drift Boat plans but I would have used Port Orford Cedar instead of Ash to make it lighter. I love drift boats and catching Salmon and Steelhead. Great boat for the family to have fun in, even if you don't fish.

Did they provide you with Stephen Amell’s wigs from the flashback scenes on Arrow? Or did you track them down yourself?

My favorite woodworking videos by far! I am making my own bathroom cabinets because of you Jason.
love your opening and it's important too remember not a single pallet was used in making this boat
But one was drowned...... R.I.P.

Of course you know that in like 13 days we are all going to start hitting you with "When is next boat video coming?". We are doing an incredible job.

3M 5200 is pretty solid for boat building. You do want to ensure your wood is joined exactly as you want it before it cures. You'll destroy any wood you've joined trying to get it apart otherwise. I've used that before making a Puddle Duck Racer.
I'm on a boat!
Drift boat will probably be my next boat build, soon as I recover from building my last one. Seems to be about a one-every-three-years addiction.
No wood flour filler on the puzzle joints? I’ve only ever scarfed and butt-jointed/glassed with marine ply. Usually you add wood flour (saw dust) to your epoxy to thicken it to a ketchup consistency, then glue with that. The glue ends up stronger than the wood that way, but still conforms to stitching.
Don't stop making the videos. Also you missed the perfect punn now that I'm done screwing around..
The opener sold the story. Solid. Boat.
Now I know what Alan Jackson meant when he said “ran her for years till the transom got rotten.”

Excellent work! As a builder of a boat myself, you better be ready for more and more and more and more sanding. And a few more coats of epoxy. Did i also mention that you're gonna be doing some additional sanding?
Be also warned that when you tell people that you built a boat... the first question they always ask is... "Does it float?"
Looking forward to the next video. Cheers

That pallet was my first boat 65 years ago. I stuffed it with foam. It went downwind pretty good. I had to abandon it 3/4 mile down the beach.
Dude, you are freaking nuts. I love it, both entertaining and educational.
I built the 17ff. you have a track saw. I was paranoid about the free hand cuts. I used the track saw...came out perfect and quick. super fun project
Funny cute.chines are for attaching sides to bottom and may or may not be attached to frames. Frames are usually called ribs. Depends more on size of boat.
Marine plywood...eh not of fan of plywood myself. Also yet another built from plans kit.
If you want to sail this later on, which is quite fun and addictive. You may want to install runners

Nice Drift Boat plans but I would have used Port Orford Cedar instead of Ash to make it lighter. I love drift boats and catching Salmon and Steelhead. Great boat for the family to have fun in, even if you don't fish.
Absolutely brilliant. The intro cheered me right up. Thanks, from an Englishman on a boat in the middle of nowhere 🤟
