There are mortal carpenters and craftsman....Then there is you ...I am utterly speechless and in awe. Bravo on this epic project.

As a fellow boat builder I have to send kudos to you. That is certainly a big hole in the water you have undertaken there. When I was building boats people always used to asked, " when will it be done?", "how long did that take?". To answer these inquiries I came up with a unit I measure that I will pass along to you to use. It is called the 1 Boat Hour. How long will that take? 1 Boat Hour! The Boat Hour is like Murphy's Variable Constant it can be expanded or contracted to express reality. Some mornings I would walk into the boat shed and just be overwhelmed by the behemoth standing before me. With all the resolve I could muster I would say to myself, " well, to hesitate now all is lost, just put in 1 Boat Hour and THEN quit." It is amazing what one can get done in 1 Boat Hour.

in the old days there were iron men in wood boats, now days there are iron boats with wooden men, great vid, great craftsmanship and will THANX!

Lots of progress in the past year plus. Congrats on your endeavour. Thanks for the video

I came here from a skin over frame canoe building channel. Sometimes I wonder about the KZread recommendation algorithm (this 16 foot canoe weighs 30 pounds....) This project is the definition of the word awesome. Thanks for taking the time to make videos while working on the project!

Thanks. It's surprising how much this and even the smallest boat have in common. a lot of common principles, just difference in scale.

I am in awe. Your skills are remarkable and seeing the project take shape is just a joy to watch. looking forward to more videos.

This was such a satisfying video to watch. I don't even know you guys but I'm proud of you. What a beautiful (and hard) work. Post more project please. Thank you for this one!

@@christiankane5802 for sure! if you want you can buddy and you are at the right age to do it. Do what you really love and you will succeed and sometimes even do better than someone having years of experiences. Just need to find the right place for you and I have a little secret for you. When you seem interested guys always like it and when they explain something to you lisen carfully and they will even like to show you tricks that lots do not want to share just because they learned it the hard way. But because you lisen and seem interested in their stuff will make them in high esteem sometimes. It could be basic stuff when I'm saying that like it but you will see what I mean on the tarmac when it wiil be the moment. That's an old trick from my grand father and belive me I used that many times and it reslly works. Sorry I'm french and I don't speak english really, then I hope you understood the highlights of my advices. Otherwise you need to try it to see what I really mean and of course it's always different from one guy to an other. But like I said you need to want to do it first and foremost and do it with a smile on your face that's important. Peace and good luck!

I never see people address the issue of rott during a build. All you have to do to dramatically reduce future rott is to spray or roll everything (especially endgrains) with Smith's epoxy oil or flexible epoxy resin before paint. Skipping this step creates a nightmare of constant future maintenance.

Mann I'm jelly! This boat is going to be epic once its done!!

Amazing work!

Impressive work that you practically do alone, I am impressed, even when you look at the construction of the hangar, and all this preparation of the keel, the verandas, Wouahouu ... !! what a job .... hat the artist, best to you from France ... !!

Looking good!

As long as you know what you’re doing, that’s all that’s important. Cos I haven’t got a clue. Great work.

Been watching since you started. Your boat prompted me to read Mr. Buellers book. Keep following your dream. Few people act on their big ideas, much less build the vessel to make it happen. I hope to see you travel the world in your boat. Keep at it!

Nice recap, Scott. Your solution to cutting the rebates is nice. Using the saw like that is better than any other idea you came up with ( no "cringe factor" whilst I watched ). You'll blast through the rest of them in no time.

Damn, another job I didn't know I would love to do. Why does it take so long in life to find things that make us tick hard. I mean I love woodwork etc, but never thought of building boats other than the 14 boat we overhauled for my dad when I was like 15.

You might try a power woodcarver with a double chainsaw blade to hog out most of the material freehand, then use a simple router jig to cut to the lines.

Never seen a ship made entirely out of pre-sawn dimensional lumber before. Always a bit of custom sawing for those bigger pieces... How many hundred gallons of glues and epoxys went into this beaut?

While this boat certainly be built all with dimensional lumber, all are stuff is custom cut except for a few pieces of dimensional doug fir in the keel. This boat is made of Larch (tamarack), yellow pine and white oak.

JOHN BYRNE haha, I’m a retired cop, I bought the plans from George Buehler yacht design. I haven’t owned or built a boat before so I don’t know a lot about the marine world but I’m learning. This design is a pretty simple one, so your average woodworker or DIY guy, like myself can figure the process out. George has a book called “backyard boat building “ that is a sort of a companion bible to this design and building process.
