Building the V-Bottom Skiff - Episode 32: Installing the inwhales
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2022
- It's a Tips double header, two episodes this week and more to come!
This week is a especially challenging step in our V-Bottom Skiff build, installing the inwhales. There is really no margin for error here and we're going to have to work to make sure we don't cut our inwhales too short. Ideally, we'll keep them a little long and saw-fit each end so we get the tightest best fit possible. But first we need to go around and make sure our inwhales are in exactly the right position. So we're created a little guage that we used on the starboard side and now we're going to mirror that difference between the guard and inwhales on the port side. Once we have them in exactly the right position we can begin with our saw-fit both aft and at the bow.

I'm envisioning you at the helm with one wide smile on the maiden voyage. Cheers!
Fabulous Lou! You could hold a square dance in that baby!
Two Lou videos on the same Friday night. This is going to be a great weekend. Lou, the sweep of that sheer is gorgeous, Looking forward to seeing the caps go on and highlight the sheer even more. Thank you for sharing this boat build with us.
Three!
It's such a pleasure to watch someone who has reached such a level of this craft that every potential moment of disappointment that might be caused by a gap or a mismatch is foreseen and avoided - a policy of zero tolerance that can only be achieved from years of experience. While I can only fumble as a total novice by comparison, and accept my gaps with a promise to do better next time, Louis is coming good on all such promises to himself in this project. All who find beauty in this channel are kindred spirits, and I feel part of a clan. Cheers to you all. Too much whiskey probably, but hey.
Beautifully stated and oh so true. He humbles us all (which if a fine thing).
Right there with ya buddy.
Exactly
Great comment... I tip my whiskey to you. It might be rum... I've had a few🤣🥃
I started watching your videos about six or seven years ago when i got interested in boatbuilding. Now i have two years of experience from boatbuilding school, four and a half years of professional experience renovating yachts fulltime, first two and a half years as an apprentice. You are an inspiration that brings young people in to this craft and i thank you for the inspiration you have given me to pursue my dream job.
I want a bronze casting of those hands - my god they are works of art. Bless you, Lou.
Expertise is the best tool you can't find in any tool stores
Three Lou videos in the same weekend? Yes we like it.
That inwhale fitting and especially the last joint is exactly one of those things I cant figure out how it’s done. Very nice!
An old journeyman carpenter showed me this trick years ago. I was 24 years old working as an apprentice in a custom cabinet shop. What a pleasure it is to watch
This man would be such a pleasure to work for or with.... craftsmanship and attention to every tiny detail.....absolute QUALITY
Your knowledge of boat building is incredible to watch. The boat looks amazing. I can't wait to see it in the water
Thanks for more master boat building/woodworking tips & tricks. The boat is coming along nicely. I Can't say enough about how much I enjoy watching your work. You seem so natural in front of the camera and the way you communicate is so easy to follow. I think you could easily have your own TV series.
These boats are priceless
Very nice, very nice!!!
Yep, she keeps on getting more beautiful every time! You're a marvel of a boatwright, Lou! So much respect!
Your a wizard Lou! :)
This boat is beautiful. Such graceful lines and she's put together like a Swiss watch. Solid as a piece of granite. There's not a single piece on her that isn't perfect. Thanks for letting us watch you build her Lou.
Always stoked when a new V-Bottom Skiff video drops! Great job and thanks for all the tips.
TWO no THREE in one day! Amazing! Great instruction on Saw Fitting. Again amazing!
Mate, I'm learning so much watching this and every episode helps me in the repairs on my own boat. Absolutely cracking content.
Boat is looking fantastic can't wait to see this baby in the water. I'm sure you're anticipating it as well.
I love these videos so much. Happy to see two on the same day, thanks Lou and Halsey!!!
No kidding, a Two-fer is such a treat!
Nearly there Louie.
Looks amazing.
Perfect timing, Lou. I am installing inwales on a skiff this week and you video was so helpful. Best to you and yours. Charlie
Such a pleasure to watch this perfectionist. Who's gonna fill his shoes???
Masterful craftsmanship. A pleasure to watch you work.
If I had the money I would have you build me a 25 footer with a pilothouse!!!!!
Dreams...
Such a great guy!
The best!
Looking good Loe!
The skiff is coming along nicely! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Lou..you are a true American treasure!
It's amazing that you could get the inwales and other long boards in single run lengths. That would definitely up the production costs and re/sale value. A little planing to smooth the tops of the inwales, and then the caps and finishing, and whatever else this land-locked guy commenting isn't currently thinking about, and time for a ride.
I look forward to each installment, if too much time passes I start worrying. Can't wait to see that boat in the water. Looking forward to seeing Orca taking shape. Thanks for all you do.
Another great video.
Fantastic work as always sir.
thanks Lou
Christmas in June! Thank you Lou!
My old dad loved working with wood. I made him a sign for his workshop: "I cut it twice, and it's still too short!"
This video series is as solid as that boat. Love listening to Louis. Great simple videography. Both taking us deep into the process. Cheers
As in every video, I realize I never would have thought of that, and even if I did, I couldn't have pulled it off.
Top notch craftsman. Looking forward to seeing her make way
Beautiful!
Looks fantastic 👌🙂
Amazing skills!
Love, love watching it come together. You’re amazing. Thanks for letting us all see how it’s done.
If this was my boat I'd envision a nice turbo diesel, mounted center ship and incorporate a twin seat center console over the engine. With a nice box, decent prop and she'd boogie along with the added bonus of good economy. She's a well built, lovely looking tough boat, I'd be real pleased if i'd built her, well done old fella, top job
Almost there!
this is so good!
Lou, such an awesome build!
Nice to see it nearing completion. Great tip about the slant fit. Learning from your mistakes is the stuff you remember. All the projects I have done have little defects that I figure out and could do perfectly the next time around. That's why you build a small boat before you build a big one.
ah your back, I have forgotten where you left off.
Great job, that looks awesome!
lookin good
Beautiful
I think the big trick you have over me is patience. I would have hammer fit it, and called it good.
Best!
For your next boat build, I would *_LOVE_* to see you build a Pocketship. It uses "stitch-n-glue" construction with CNC cut panels. It looks like a super fun build.
He's doing Orca next. I don't think stitch and glue is really what he does.
@@chuckrobinson599 thanks for letting me know. I know that sometimes that he tries new things, so I thought, "Maybe?"

Very interesting video, thanks for sharing.
She’s looking pretty good Louis, I shall be interested to see what you do with the forrard ends of the capping pieces.
The boat is wicked. I assume that the knees were notched over the vertical frames as described in an earlier video.
You did an amazing job with a standard crosscut saw. I could never manage that sort of cut with a crosscut saw. I like using a Japanese pull saw for saw fits. It has a thinner kerf and I feel like I have more control. I have several different size pull saws with different blade thickness so I can really sneak up on the final fit.
It's all your quality
If you are a fan of Lou and want to see different content, he has another channel called Bristol Shipwrights where he is building a 40ft schooner with an equally skilled friend.
Louis, would a 3rd saw fit on the front of the inwhale cause it to be too loose? Just curious - it's a really tight fit right now, just wondering if a 3rd would have ruined it or not! Thank you, sir - it's a pleasure to watch you work!
Same thought here.
Your pencil has seen many projects
Can you please answer a question on the work skiff???? Do you oil the floor?????????? Teak oil.
Do you have have plans for a 16 ft work skiff?
How far apart did you space the “ribs” ???
Apologies if this informational is elsewhere but what are the rough dimensions of the boat? Just basic length and width if you were to draw a box around it, dont need the angles or anything like that. Thank you.
Why not a bevel guage rather than guessing by eye?
Hello- What is Lous # would like to get a Boat built.
Bym u😮
Where are the plans for sale? I saw this on the 18' skiff video "for those of you who want to build your own, we're finishing up our own set of work skiff plans" and I would like to purchase a set of plans.
Lou, I am building a boat and I am having trouble finding Total Boat Polysulfide. Do they not carry it any longer? I know you used it on some of your projects. Sorry to post this here, but I have no other way to contact you.
WHERES THE ORCAAAAAAA
The skiff is looking awesome can't wait to see the caps installed! Great Job louis you sare a true master!
