Guys I found a very good website about "boats building" that is *BoatPlans.4YourHelp. Com* (remove space and open the website) this website contains more then 500 boat plans. Recommended
I am not in the construction industry nor am I a carpenter, I wanted a good guide to help with small projects such as small boat . So there’s a magic which is boat Plan visit here t.co/uM8hFDqZOp This boat Plan covers all my instructions from top to bottom in a step by step manner.
On this rainy Friday early afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting Louis. Like you would expect, if you've been drawn to his videos by his talent as a Craftsman on all things "wood boats", well let me share a bit. As a general contractor doing cabinetry for 25 plus years I ended up in a difficult place. At 55 years old I had few options in life, so I thought! Not to be to sappy, his voice, demener and passion has inpacted me unmeasurably. I guess what I'm trying to say is, watching a man do his trade in the respectful an honest way has brought me back trying to do the same in my work as he does in his. Thanks Greg
Bravo that you are learning and imagining. You are a true creator. All new ideas started with accidents or by maniacs with a vision. You are a true maniac. God speed.
Do you know having watched Lou for a long time I don`t think I have ever seen a bad word said about him or his program, well done Lou good to see you back. Best regards from the UK.
Yea! Lou is back! Aw man have I been looking forward to your return and another fun nd interesting project! it sounds like it's going to be a good one!
Brilliant way to start the series sir , love the descriptions and explanations regarding the various subtle differences in designs and their uses ... :-)
YAY. HIP HIP HOORAY. You're back. I enjoyed meeting you when you showed off your skiff. Really looking forward to this series. Who knows, I may build a boat one day.
Lou, I very much enjoyed your first TotalBoat series, and am looking forward to this one, as well. I have no experience with the type boats you are building, and also have no knowledge of nautical or boat-building terms, words, and phrases. Therefore, it is difficult for me to keep up with your use of such terms-of-art as, "rocker", "sheer", "knuckle", "duck gunning", etc. I think there are probably other viewers who are similarly "terminology deficient". It would both helpful, and very interesting to have you define and elaborate on the specialized words that are so much a part of your vocabulary, but which are foreign to the newbies, such as I. I enjoy your work very much. Thank you for considering this request.
In January of this year from suggestions of others at the boatyard where my small office is (30 years in marketing) I enrolled myself in a boat building school. The word school is used liberally as it's basically just a place where you can build a boat with not much emphasis on self teaching yourself. The boat that was suggested to me to build is the Indian Class 21'2" John G. Alden 1927 classic boat. I've spent the Spring lofting this boat at full size and have been waiting for the stars to align and wondering how I'm going to go about this. So I'm super excited with this plan of yours as there's some similarities in this build, the most is there's 5 planks in lapsrake with the same type of steep deadrise you mention. So super excited to learn and maybe put some of what I learn here into practice.
Boy,your back just in time with the perfect project. Just got all inspired to build dory after visiting Lowells boat shop. Only six strakes. Really looking forward to your level of detail and simple technique. You're our modern day John Gardner
Add me to the vee bottom skiff list! Keep that beautiful little model in some videos. I've been squawking about it since I saw it in one of the last skiff build videos. Reminds me of a great old lake fishing boat from northern Minnesota. So glad to see this whole adventure starting again, Lou and Halsey!
You are the Man!! I have enjoyed your video for many years.. I became interested in building my own designed sport dory when I lived on CapeCod near SesuitHarbor in Dennis. I have researched a design for years.. I've build many models. I have played with this idea off 'n on throughout.. Unfortunately I have moved over 3 dozen to places.. my wife and I are very foot loose and like to travel (USA).. It seems everytime I get a shop built to build this dory, we move. It is still nice to dream! Background: I went to an art school so aesthetics.. 'form follows function' was always important to me.. I have always loved wood, like the Japanese do.. I am a little compulsive when it comes to details.. (but you blow my mind!) I went to work in a local 'Piney' woodmill to get some cabinet making skills.. But I became frustrated with the owners lack of 'quality control'.. So the next place i worked 'Q.C.' was my biggest goal for there company.. It was there that I meet my match and 2 1/2 years later, we married then we got frustrated with the business.. So we left to travel the country on our bicycles fully loaded.. 60 miles a day on perimeter tour searching!?! Got jobs at Sequoia N.P. then returned home due to close family terminal illness.. Moved from Trenton, New Jersey to Princeton.. I worked I the hospitality business and my wife worked at a high end outdoor outfitter.. It was then that kayaking became a love.. then I found a homemade half built race boat/ kayak with a huge rocker, hidden or stashed in the woods.. ..I was bitten by the boatbulid bug.. I loved watching your brain work..researching, picking and choosing ideas that would work for your "dory". It's very similar to many of us out here with the same dream.. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey as well!
Well you sir are a inspiration. I am 59 and I would like to build a boat when I retire. Watching you break down the steps makes it seem achievable. I hope I can do it with your attention to detail, which is what I think makes it all worth it. Thanks for your videos.
Very informative basic naval architecture topics , lines plan , midship section fairing , sheer , 22 degree dead rise , bilge radius . Then table of offset result in every frame where true measurent to actual mould lofting . Hat off to you sir .
Thank God, forgetting 'Game of Thrones', this 36 episode Dory build is going to be the best thing on TV and UA-cam for the rest of 2017! Can't wait! Thank you!
I just watched the entire series of video's on the Work Skiff build, looking forward to watching the you design and build the Dory, it's fantastic to see and learn from a true craftsman at work.
Interesting! I’m doing a project using pallet wood. Some of these pallets were more like trays; some 20ft long. I used these to cut them into strips and laminate them into the boards (5plies). I build upside down and found the further shape by making use of long strips of pine taken from the same trays. Where I wanted them to curve more strongly, I thinned them down. Proceeding this way I made a partiality laminated webbing that gives the shape of the starboard side of my 21ft boat. Next step was to make cardboard templates every 10”, that I mirror and bring over to a B/SB mother template. So far so good. I liked the great freedom in 3D life size modelling this method gave me. Almost like working in clay, but much, much faster and less cumbersome.
There are several tips for constructing boats: Allow enough time. take advantage of done for you boat templates. (I read about these and more on Denelle Boat Builder website )
What a fantastic taster for the upcoming series, I for one can't wait to see it happen. I learn so much and forget most of it ! Thank goodness for the power of the Internet!
I have no idea what half these words mean but I'm excited to see you get back to work on another project. Didn't miss a single video of the last one and won't for this one. Can't wait.
There's just something with me and blueprints/drafting. I just love them, simply can't get enough of looking at it. Really looking forward to more of this series!
Dories have always been some of the prettiest boats on the water,having Lou explain the differences is like a bulb lighting up, so many subtle small points and the reasons for them most boatbuilders let alone laymen would not notice them.Thank you Lou for doing our thinking for us and explaining so we can enjoy your new series even more Neil Ryan.
Welcome back Lou! Here we go again, another trip down memory lane! I learned to row in a 12' Lowell dory-skiff in the late 40s and lived near Fred Dion's boatyard and used to say good morning to John Gardner as he walked to work at Dion's before he went to Mystic Seaport. Very familiar with the hull type you are going to design. Looking forward to what ends up on the lofting floor!
Welcome back, Lou. It is amazing that every video is full of new things to learn and think about, whether it's technique with a saw or naval architecture. I am grateful that all of this is being preserved.
Looking forward to the new series! Wow - it seems this was done with one long take!! You have a talent for teaching and communication; thank you Lou (and your filming/editing crew) for creating this series!
Well I studied those same plans and others, but since I have little practical experience in boats on water, I wasn't looking at them like that! I've made several half models, and they have all surprised me, in various ways ..... going from 2D to 3D ain't anything I can do in my imagination. The Nahant Dory lines are intriguing, yet to carve that one. Looking forward to seeing what you got in your head to materialize, and how you do it! I'm setting up to make a row boat from Howard Chapelles "American Small Sailing Craft", which I imagine was used on rivers with sea ports on them, riding the tide upstream, and riding it down when it went out, in 1750 or so. Not because I live on such a river, but because the lines as simple as they were, left me wondering till I had to carve it to see, and I could not believe it, so simple, so sublime, now I got to see it life size. I'll not regret that it could have been better had I waited to see the 36 dory chapters; I will just start another boat. The Skiff build was great, I learned a good deal, thank you and your production crew. I made a 4'x22' ply surface to laydown lines, and glued up battens that long, and had some free DougFir for transoms. The rest will be White Pine, some White Ash. I love John Gardeners drawings, but if I had to use plywood ...... I'd stick with furniture repair.
I got forms set up, and transoms, and chine logs; lots of rocker, and some twist - I'm really surprised how a little twist changes the shape of the board, and how resistant the wood is to twisting, even in long lengths, maybe 15* twist. Pretty cool to see the shape of the full size curves though, more fun than a man my age deserves. Good thing I didn't start with a real involved design. : )
I am SO stoked about this series! After watching THIS, I am going to pay attention because you are going to be explaining information that is SO much better than any class you could ever take. THANK YOU SO MUCH LOU!
Sir, you're the most enjoyable/knowledgeable 'UA-cam Teacher'! This is already an appealing video series. I'm glad to see 'The Master' back!!!!!!!!! ....13
As I watched over your shoulder while you went through a few designs I started thinking. If we examined a larger sampling of designs things might start to fall into a few classes. Using for instance dead rise, ratio of radius to beam, height of the common radius point above or below the sheer line. These three factors may start to tell us something about specific dory types. Or maybe not! Anyways I'm looking forward to see where you're going with your design. One of the problems with small boat design is that you want to build each on of them!

On this rainy Friday early afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting Louis. Like you would expect, if you've been drawn to his videos by his talent as a Craftsman on all things "wood boats", well let me share a bit. As a general contractor doing cabinetry for 25 plus years I ended up in a difficult place. At 55 years old I had few options in life, so I thought! Not to be to sappy, his voice, demener and passion has inpacted me unmeasurably.

Bravo that you are learning and imagining. You are a true creator. All new ideas started with accidents or by maniacs with a vision. You are a true maniac. God speed.
I remember my time in the boatyard...you make me feel dumb and inspired at the same time...keep up the good work.
Leave it to Lou to show us the proper way to sharpen a pencil with a block plane! Glad you are back and I look forward to the next 35 weeks.
15 minutes with you flies by. I could spend days with you, Lou. Fascinating to hear about body design. I can't wait to watch the rest of the series
Great to have you back Lou. Can't wait for your Dory series. Too bad I don't live next door.
Do you know having watched Lou for a long time I don`t think I have ever seen a bad word said about him or his program, well done Lou good to see you back. Best regards from the UK.
Been waiting for you Captain. Love your videos and your work. Don't keep us waiting too long. Thank You very much!!! Vinny 🇺🇸
Where is Lou, has something happened to him?
I've been on a boat only twice in my life, but I assure you I will watch every episode.
Yea! Lou is back! Aw man have I been looking forward to your return and another fun nd interesting project! it sounds like it's going to be a good one!
Lou your a wood wizard i can't stop watching all your detailed tips they get my juice flowing.
Thank you. I'm starting on my building adventure. Had no clue what the drawings were showing till now
@WALTER CARTER spam!
Brilliant way to start the series sir , love the descriptions and explanations regarding the various subtle differences in designs and their uses ... :-)
steveward53 Are you able to follow this ?
I am subcribed to the channel if that's what you mean ... ?
Awesome.glad your back.always have my attention.ready for you to build.brings back memories from barharbor growing up 🙂
I'm really excited about the new project and can't wait to see you get tucked in.
YAY. HIP HIP HOORAY. You're back. I enjoyed meeting you when you showed off your skiff. Really looking forward to this series. Who knows, I may build a boat one day.

I can't wait for you to get started as well. Glad to see you back.
what an amazing way to start your video ^^ already hooked after first close up shot of the pencil "sharpener"
we all cant wait to get started. love your vids I watched them multibel times. keep them coming . thanks lue.

Cheers from down under. Ken
Great to view the starting of the project and why it is built for a specific task. Thanks for the great videos. Thanks for sharing
please please start building as soon as you can; I've been waiting for this for months
You are the Man!!

Thanks for your videos.
At LAST! From design to finish. This is going to be so very good.
This series is going to be a blast. I like small, agile boats. They sum up the joy of being on water for everyone.
Well, took a year off from watching. I think its time to get back into the shipwright channel. Thanks for everything you do.
Very informative basic naval architecture topics , lines plan , midship section fairing , sheer , 22 degree dead rise , bilge radius . Then table of offset result in every frame where true measurent to actual mould lofting . Hat off to you sir .
Looking forward to the new series. Regards Mark in the UK
This was AMAZINGLY informative. The bit about 3 planks in radius and 2 in deadrise was brilliant.
Nice to know there will be nine months of a new series Louis.... looking forward to the next video on your drawing details.
Nice to see you back Lou.
welcome back missed your videos going to enjoy this thanx again and be safe ehhh
Can't wait to see you get started. Good to see you back.
Thank God, forgetting 'Game of Thrones', this 36 episode Dory build is going to be the best thing on TV and UA-cam for the rest of 2017! Can't wait! Thank you!
WOO HOO! Here we go again. LOVE this channel.
Very nice Lou! I like your trick with dividers to determine deadrise and radius from the sheerline.
I'm looking forward to the Total Boat Dory. Thanks Lou.
I just watched the entire series of video's on the Work Skiff build, looking forward to watching the you design and build the Dory, it's fantastic to see and learn from a true craftsman at work.
Great to see you back Lou!
Great introduction to the basics of boat design including terminology and plans in the context of the Dory. Thanks Louis!
Thirty six video series. We're so happy.

Almost like working in clay, but much, much faster and less cumbersome.
I like this! I only seen the one boat work skiff from.start to finish. I wish I knew this was here!
Dories are fantastic little boats. I'm very interested to see what you come up with.
Very interesting information well articulated. I learned much from your introduction. Looking forward to the next episode
Oh, What a treat. Fab video - Very interesting, creative and inspirational.
Thank you.....all the way from London !
Just love the way you explain things!
Lou's back!!!
if i learn half as much from season 2 as i did from season 1 my life will be so much richer!!!
bring it on ...cant wait!.
Woohaa! Really looking forward to this 😃. Excellent that you take it all the way from the absolute beginning ... 🇸🇪
Finally! I have been waiting for this series to start rather impatiently. Glad your back!
There are several tips for constructing boats:
Allow enough time.
take advantage of done for you boat templates.
(I read about these and more on Denelle Boat Builder website )
Great to see you back, let's get on with it!!
Glad to have you back, Lou! Here's to another great series!
Yay, another boat build series. Starting from designing and designs. Sweet.
This is exciting. I'm sad that it took me so long to find out about wooden boat building, but I'm here now. :-)
What a fantastic taster for the upcoming series, I for one can't wait to see it happen. I learn so much and forget most of it ! Thank goodness for the power of the Internet!
I have no idea what half these words mean but I'm excited to see you get back to work on another project. Didn't miss a single video of the last one and won't for this one. Can't wait.
Lou, You bring a smile to my face. Thanks, I can't wait.
There's just something with me and blueprints/drafting. I just love them, simply can't get enough of looking at it.
Really looking forward to more of this series!
Dories have always been some of the prettiest boats on the water,having Lou explain the differences is like a bulb lighting up, so many subtle small points and the reasons for them most boatbuilders let alone laymen would not notice them.Thank you Lou for doing our thinking for us and explaining so we can enjoy your new series even more Neil Ryan.
thank you Lou. looking forward to the design and build
Oh boy this is going to be a great ride!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Louis. Great stuff, you are a natural teacher. Blessings from New Zealand.
Thank you so much for doing the plans this time. You have made my day sir.
Hello...Interresting introduction...Thank You Lou. Barely an appetizer...Looking forward to More...! See you in August.
Welcome back Lou! Here we go again, another trip down memory lane! I learned to row in a 12' Lowell dory-skiff in the late 40s and lived near Fred Dion's boatyard and used to say good morning to John Gardner as he walked to work at Dion's before he went to Mystic Seaport. Very familiar with the hull type you are going to design. Looking forward to what ends up on the lofting floor!
This is quality, fascinating, captivating, wholesome viewing. Absolutely chuffed that Louis is sharing this with us.👍
Having enjoyed the last boat build immensely, I'm delighted to find a new video from you, so soon after release. Pure enjoyment after a working week.
Welcome back! This is better than Christmas!
Excellent, here's to Season 2!
I like this man. You´re genius Mr Louis.
Lew, you ROCK! I am hooked again!
Welcome back Lou! I can't wait for the new series.
Welcome back from Scotland.
Your video tutorial is great, I expect that I can also make my own Dory.
Glad you're back to another project!!! You're pure inspiration! Thank you!!!
So glad your back!
Excited for the new series sir.
Great video and very informative, thank you so much for making and sharing this
Welcome back, Lou. It is amazing that every video is full of new things to learn and think about, whether it's technique with a saw or naval architecture. I am grateful that all of this is being preserved.
My heart jumped when I saw this video posted. Great stuff, can't wait for this series.
Looking forward to the new series! Wow - it seems this was done with one long take!! You have a talent for teaching and communication; thank you Lou (and your filming/editing crew) for creating this series!
Awesome, new season! Can't wait Lou!

Excellent starting point for the uninitiated like me. Thanks for helping us understand the terminology.
As I watched over your shoulder while you went through a few designs I started thinking. If we examined a larger sampling of designs things might start to fall into a few classes. Using for instance dead rise, ratio of radius to beam, height of the common radius point above or below the sheer line. These three factors may start to tell us something about specific dory types. Or maybe not!
Anyways I'm looking forward to see where you're going with your design. One of the problems with small boat design is that you want to build each on of them!
Welcome back Louis!
I'm ready to watch this boat come together. Glad to see this.
So glad to see the series is back! Hope it'll be a sailing dory!
