It is almost impossible to find the words for how nautically poetic this video is. It is a breath of calm in a world of frantic noise. I have been blessed to have seen this, Thank you.
Absolutely breathtaking video. Myself and a group of guys at our men shed are just in the planning stage for a project like this. This is a real inspiration for us. Thank you for showing. Cheers Paul
Great to see you using traditional hand tools for a lot of the roughing out and shaping. Absolutely brilliant recycling the salvaged timber from the wreck.
Congratulations to you , wonderful achievement. Take you back to a time long gone now, they were the best times. Long may you enjoy sailing , fair winds 👏
A very wonderful summary video. I enjoyed all the previous detailed steps too. This will be a great teaser to get folks to go back and view those. Well done! What a triumph.
Absolutely wonderful! Well done! I think it is only after one has built a boat such as yours that one can truly appreciate the level of effort, the attention to detail, and the determination that goes into one.
Having literally just got back from attending the traditional wooden boat building short course at BBA last week, great to see this today - really enjoyed the series and this captures it all brilliantly - many thanks for sharing
Great boat. Great filming. Great editing and music. Thanks for sharing! Am i right in thinking that there is no bedding compound or anything in the plank laps? Whoops. Never mind. I see some goop.
Lovely work, and nicely filmed and edited. By way of comment, there is no shame and a lot of convenience in setting up the backbone and moulds and then inverting the boat to fit the garboards and the first half of the planking, before setting the boat right way up to complete the planking. It may be a class requirement here, but generally it is stronger to bring the frames up between the gunwale and the inwale. It's also a pity you were unable to find grown knees instead if the half-lap.knees, but needs must, no doubt. Thanks for the video.
In the '70s the Maritime museum in Falmouth commissioned a local author/artist to record the building of the last commercially built pulling dinghy in Plymouth, Devon. The resultant book is still available ( 5th reprint ) from that museum. I helped build that boat illustrated and appear in the book in a drawing.
Why don’t you build it upside down? Would save your back 😊. That’s how we build them at the North West School of wooden boat building. Not saying it’s the right way just a different way. You are extremely skilled. Wish i could study under you!
Yes that's not clear in the video is it? The thing that as a piece of furniture it would probably have been glued with a glue that is not water resistant. I didn't want to take that risk.
Inhad a boat exactly like that. When I was a young girl.. my first sail by myself was from Messina Sicily to Villa San Giovanni. Italy. I was 4 years old. My grand fsthervwas in the 1965 Riva following me. I still have my grand father power boat. By the time I was 9 years old I had sailed solo all around Sicily Sardinia Corsica Capri. Arou d the boot of Italy to Venice to the former Yugoslavia. . In that little boat.

I agree with you also the beautiful wood work although I am sure Jon would disagree. Keep up the good work .
Only skilled (old😀) men can create such beauty.👍😀⭐️😢
The dinghy looks just gorgeous and the wood of the seat made from the reclaimed plank is simply breathtaking.
You have made a fitting tribute to the “spirit” of craftsmanship and friendship that went into the entire build. Fair winds and following seas!

Also love the use of a caulking gun as a clamp!
Seeing this, amazing! The craftmanship, the beauty!
Full build videos today. Tally Ho, too! Thank you for the wonderful, relaxed half an hour. I will be back, again. 🙂
Beautiful work 😊

Thanks for the recap guys. I'd love to see more of her on the water this year. And you must have something else going on in the workshop.
Wonderderful video ! A jewel is born and you made her !
Beautiful, beautiful work! It's wonderful to watch such craftsmanship!
Many thanks.

I had forgotten how good this series is. I will rewatch the whole built.

Congratulations, a beautiful documentary and an equally beautiful boat!!!
What a joy - you've done it again.
Lovely to see this boat go together--again. Thank you for this.
I had the pleasure of following along as Spirit was "born", watching every episode with pleasure.
Sehr schön. Ein wirklich gut gebautes Boot.

That sounds fascinating. I'll try and check the book out.

What is the name of this type of boat closure?
It's a clinker built Morgan Giles sailing and pulling dinghy.
Can someone teach me how to do it?
This is a tremendous course for that boatbuildingacademy.com/product/traditional-wooden-boat-building/
Thank you.😂
Why did you rip the table top into pieces? Why not use it as it was? Thanks!

I see. Thanks. Beautiful work!!!
