A Taste Of Ripping 3 Kilometers Of Cedar - Building A 50 Ft Sailboat - Ep. 341 RAN Sailing

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Malin, everyone praises Johan's work every week for good reason, as you offered praise too. We all realize the equal amount of effort and work you contribute. Often, it isn't seen. Maintaining a home, caring for a child, creating weekly videos, and helping out on the boat is more than a full-time job. Please don't underestimate your contribution. Thanks for sharing.

[@evanofelipe]

I totally agree that Malin’s unstinting support is the inspirational rock upon which Johan draws his strength and ability to work around a succession of problem solving tasks encountered every day. Well done Malin.

[@dianawilson4368]

Since the early episodes of the series I've seen Malin as the core of RAN. Johan was the sailor - but Malin brought the vision & business acumen necessary to make it all work. We see Johan working, but I get the feeling it's Malin that created their professionalism & opportunities.

[@jingbar]

Over the years Johan’s confidence in front of the camera has escalated to a point where he now shines as a teacher as well as a master craftsman, initially I was worried that the boat building may become boring but the opposite has happened and I eagerly await the next weeks episode

[@brianstewart2032]

Its strange but it is so calming to watch Johan working. There is never any drama or frustration just solid top quality workmanship!

[@user-kp5zv8nx8h]

Yes agree - calming is the word. Very watchable. Well done you two.

[@bucknaykid5821]

There is something so satisfying about watching a true viking warrior building his own ship for adventure! Thank you for sharing the journey.

[@pezpengy9308]

when i rebuilt my little (much smaller than yours) boat i wrote little things on each piece to commemorate milestones, injuries incurred or silly things i.e: "finished 3/4/19... today doggy ran out and we spent an hour chasing him." or, "finished 5/6/19... we had pancakes for breakfast!!! :)" to this day when im cleaning out the bilge or the daggerboard trunk i can still read those little snippets of life. good times!

[@philgray3443]

I often find things written on hidden parts of my boat, but in French because it was built there. Most times it is just to identify locations, but some times it personalises the builders workers because they made notes on some parts.

[@kirenireves]

What a great idea!

[@southamericanC]

I have been following you on KZbin since your first videos, watched Vera grow, and I am thrilled about the project of your new boat. With the emergence of cancer in January, I was saddened by the possibility of not seeing the new sailboat completed. I had surgery in March, which significantly improved my expectations of being able to see you sailing again.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for watching Carlos! It makes us glad that you enjoy the new path of our videos. 😊Sorry to hear about your cancer. We wish you a speedy recovery! Take care! /Johan & Malin

[@philgray3443]

Hope you make it through Carlos, best wishes from Australia. Praza da casa nueva video was excellent. What a nice house.

[@TheJazzDaddy]

Hi guys, Cedar can be very springy and has a tendency to bind when ripping the planks. Make yourself a long thin wedge to drop into the cut as you draw it from the back of the saw table. As a carpenter and patternmaker of can tell you that you are doing a great job on that stem piece.

[@philgray3443]

Thanks for that advice. I had almost the same problem a few weeks ago. I was blaming my fence alignment. I will try wedges next time.

[@cliffstevenson5773]

Starting up a RAN video is like coming home.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks Cliff! 😀

[@tomjones6777]

Videos are so very well done, very professional. It is like reading a really good book- can’t wait for the next chapter and at the same time not wanting the story to end.👍👍⭐️🇺🇸

[@alleycat5472]

And they thought we would be bored :) Ha Ha. Just love it.

[@scottpowell7713]

i hope that you are able to get the dust collector hooked up to the saw.....perhaps making a square funnel out of cardboard or sheeting that can be attached to the hose of the dust collector to help catch the chips/dust? your videos are still the best on the web in my opinion. Please continue making them. My family loves the technical and visual aspects of your productions and I enjoy the cleanliness of your channel (I can watch it with my family and not have to worry about seeing certain content (nudity, bad language or disturbing actions)... that other channels put in just to get a viewers)! Your hard work and enthusiasm is showing in the build of your boat. god dag!!

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

What beautiful craftsmanship. That stem piece, the first one especially was a work of art! So amazing to see you both building not only a family together, with Vera but also this huge project. Love to see couples like this.

[@Steelshooter]

Considering all of the saw dust you will be making during the course of this project you might want to think about picking a centrifugal dust separator, sometimes called a cyclone dust separator. Ones that can be added to your shop vac are very inexpensive and will pay for themselves very quickly as you won't be paying for filters for your shop vac nearly as often. They can be fitted to large drums making it much easier to collect large volumes of saw dust.

[@guymanges3628]

Thank you RAN for 341...

[@steventalbott903]

Having a shipbuilding past (steel and aluminum), I find it fascinating to watch your build. I had a friend in San Diego, Ca. that built a "cedar strip" vessel, I'd seen the finished product and not the actual build. The dimensions were similar to yours, and I've gained a whole new respect for the man. I appreciate that you are taking us along with this.

[@delukxy]

If you have a metal shop locally that does ventilation ducting it would be a quick and easy job for them to make up a square to round adaptor. Galvanised steel, some pop rivets and mastic would do the trick. Looking good!

[@HayesHaugen]

I think your project would gain quite a bit with the addition of a 3D Printer to the mix - maybe not quite yet but soon. Already a quick and easy one would be the little adapter for the dust collection on the saw. You will be needing many custom brackets, adapters, clips, mechanisms, holders, etc. A 3D printer allows you to fairly quickly make these and if the material properties are not quite right you can send it out to a service to print in just about anything including metal.

[@dmack1827]

Johan is a really exceptional craftsman. RAN III will have the precision of a Rolex. Excellent video, as always.

[@sailingbronco9869]

There are several videos showing you how to turn your sawdust into fire bricks. Worth a look for almost free heat!

[@davidehrmann6862]

What a gift you are providing us. From problem solving to woodworking to expert editing, soothing music to building the dream of a lifetime. Thank you!

[@viking7256]

Hi. When ripping larger sizes you may need to have some wooden wedges to help with the pinching on the blade. If you can find a bandsaw to rip there will be less "loss" from the blade width. Awsome work.😊

[@pezpengy9308]

was thinking the same thing, small kerf small loss.

[@ianlangley987]

Hi Johan, Your doing a great job and ripping the cedar down is going to be a huge job. Can I suggest making your self a better table at the end of the saw where the cut timber is heading. The supports you have may move, I have the same and they are quite flimssy. You could mount the rollers off them on to the table if you wanted or buy a ball type. Once you start you wont want to be mucking around with supports that are not doing their job properly. Cheers and keep up the good work. Ian New Zealand.

[@livingthedream669]

I love watching how you work and treat each other with kindness and respect. You are a wonderful example of a loving family. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

[@Anne6621]

you can tell how Mr & Mrs Ran are taking a 1 brick at a time approach to this build and this is the proper way to do a build , logic and common sense

[@MrPaulcm1]

Johan, you are such a great tradesman. Always a pleasure watching your work. Wow, that's a lot of wood strips you need. You guys are doing such a great job. Love the vlog :)

[@davidnichols147]

We planked a 30ft Crocker Gull sloop in 1965 with Port Oxford white cedar. Still remember the smell during rainy cold weather with the soap stone fireplace running. We are so Happy that Malin is enjoying herself with the build and pray that Vera is well with school. Awesome episode as the project gets more interesting. We can't thank you enough for sharing your family!

[@camielkotte]

Another boat building project. I love these. Enjoyed your sailing videos very much over the years. I didn't watch everything, I sail the tube where the wind brings me. I re-subscribed. You ve always made such a sincere impression, it is very relaxing to watch. I escape the day watching your videos. So, many thanks!

[@sailingsheriff3349]

Unbelievable work. I am constantly amazed at the skills, work ethic and tolerance you have. Look forward to every episode. What an amazing family

[@Mrflynlow]

This is getting better and better. The woodworking skill are superior. One of my very favorite channels.

[@rexsheldon1042]

when ripping the long boards, try adding a couple of thin wedges to the kerf after the cut.

[@VictoriaWargaming]

When this is all done, it would be great for historical purposes to make the whole boat build a documentary.

[@robw2379]

Taking a day or two to get a power feeder, build a proper infeed and outfeed table, and getting your dust collection squared away will pay off very quickly. You guys are going to be doing a LOT of milling, and you can sell your gear after the wood is milled. Nice work so far. Getting those frame molds lined up perfectly is a really fiddly job, and you nailed it. Good luck!

[@RANSailing]

You’re right. The ripping operation needs to be improved… We’ll try to get some good solutions in place before we start. 👍😊 Cheers!

[@perspilling1542]

Have you considered getting it done by a saw mill instead of cutting the planks yourself?

[@robw2379]

@@RANSailing Oh, one more thought. I have had to find some unusual dust collector flanges, and often they are available off the shelf as ductwork for heating/cooling systems that run on forced air.

[@marktaylor1907]

Fire safety. Formal advice would be to position a fire extinguisher at each entry and exit point of your building barn. Do yourselves a favour and up your fire defense game.

[@margaretbrudzinski5411]

This channel is my favorite of all the sailing channels I watch. Johan and Malin make a great couple…..and of course Vera, she’s adorable. Your boat build is such an interesting project so far. I look forward to your videos every week. Great craftsmanship at work here. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@seanlathbury5410]

Round hose square opening….. 1 make a wooden block who’s final dimensions are same as saw opening. 2. Heat up piece of PVC hose connector and slowly insert wooden block until it conforms. Keep it in until it cools. 👍

[@janicearmstrong9645]

Awesome channel. Janice husband here Harley.Back in the 80s my dad and I built a catamaran sailboat with a oak stems . We cover the oak with polyester resin and fb cloth. The oaks natural oil from being out in element and changing weather (Ontario Canada) delaminated the sealed stem. Very hard to keep fiber glass attached to oak. After asking around this wasn’t just my experience. Keep up the awesome boat build.

[@jkoivula75]

This is an awesome channel! But you should drive all the large cedar planks first with plane. When at least one side of the plank is smooth, then put that smooth side against the saw "table" and it will slide nicely in that saw. I will normally plane all sides of big wood before sawing. When having two sides planed then one goes for table and one side against driver. English is not my first language, but hope this makes sense...

[@RANSailing]

That’s was the conclusion we made as well. We’ll plane two sides next time. Cheers!

[@edwardhaigh4249]

Exiting times ahead, there is something about the smell of ceader , I could smell it from here at least I thought I could, cheers from Australia 😂

[@brianswanland5466]

I love watching your calm and steady progress. I also couldn't help thinking while watching you plane the stem of the boat that you were repeating an ancient ritual your ancestors did for hundreds if not thousands of years. Have you considered adding a Dragon's head to the stem?

[@tree4408]

Nice new intro! God's Speed to all!

[@tomcourtney8986]

What will you do with all the sawdust? Can it be compressed for a log burner or…?

[@busylifechilllife4026]

Why did I have any doubt , I should have known Johan was thinking about a power feeder. I agree 100%. Good job. I remember my first job at a lumberyard in the northwest stacking cedar lumber every Tuesday morning. I hope you keep the sawdust out of your shirt it always made me itchy.

[@sailorrusty]

Johan is a master craftsman, I have always admired anyone who has the skill to work with wood. The two of you are doing a great job and Malin you are a great encouragement for Johan. I too love the smell of fresh cut cedar and I do love watching your dream boat becoming a reality. You guys are doing a fabulous job. Keep up the good work as you are more of an inspiration than you may realize.

[@hermanosamuel8744]

Coincidentally, I have been shopping for my retirement liveaboard project, and until I found you guys, I've had a very narrow idea of what I thought would be acceptable in material and style. Since binge watching your channel over the last year, I learned so much, and have opened up my mind to so many other possibilities and new information. Not to mention, I'm still working my way through your previous seasons, and since my kids are all grown and gone, I have so loved watching your young family (though I'm not actually that much older). I too have daughters and I just can't tell you how much I miss those days. It's so weird since we have never met, but I so appreciate sharing your story. Thanks from a friend (you don't even know) in Seattle.

[@kentulander5716]

To get a feeder unit for the ripsaw is a very good idea and investment. Will never forget when my uncle showed me what can happen if you stand right behind the sawblade and a piece comes shooting back.

[@peterwhite7252]

It can be the death of you .

[@Cmoredebris]

Rip the cedar with a band saw, like others have mentioned. Will be more accurate and less material lost. You can also build a power feeder. Many how to videos on line. Great videos as always. Thanks for sharing the build.

[@runristaren2]

Pressning all that sawdust into blocks makes good heat when in the woodstove

[@rickcreel3657]

Perhaps you could borrow a Logosol bandsaw mill or buy a used one. You would not have to buy a power feeder. The bandsaw curf would not waste as much wood and you could cut many flanks at the same pass of the blade. If you bought a new machine you could easily sell it when the boat is complete.

[@davexvs]

WOW it is amazing the amount of technical skill and craftmanship that goes into a boat build you two are killing it and keep me mesmerized every week {:-) PAV UK

[@TillerQueen]

You know I was wondering why Johan was using a bit of wood for the stem with a huge knot in it and I thought it seems strange that you'd make it with that big defect, even though it's not structural. But I hadn't realised how much material was going to be taken off and the knot is gone now. 😊 Beautiful work and I'm *really* enjoying this series; your best yet I think! ❤

[@vette8121]

Johan, at 08:40 you mentioned the sharpness of your compass plane, I believe you probably had the sharpness and the set-up spot on. My grandfather who was a shipwright for many years in the northeast U.S. always told me the planes he found most difficult to use were the ones least used. Sure enough the planes in his tool collection, 200 + planes alone, the compass planes are in great shape. I think he would have tackled that task the same as you. As always fine job....tm

[@BillChild2njoy]

Yes Johan is doing a fine job and so are you.. i truly see how well you work as a couple and appreciate each others contributions. The boat is such a labor of love for you both and all of us to enjoy the special comments and care given every step along the way. Amazing the difference between oak and cedar. At 70 I might lift a 30 or 40 lb board but never 100.. also nice you wear the full masks when dealing with the cedar. I'd love to hear a short recording of you two singing a song while wearing them ha ha!!. Oh and I really appreciate the wonderful landscape moments caught on video. Thanks for then as well.

For sharpening chisels and planes, you should have a Tormak. Once you have established the correct angle for each tool, the subsequent sharpening is very quick and it’s made in your country 🇸🇪

[@AlexKall]

Really fun watching Johan do wood working, he's really good at it! For the square to round connection, perhaps it's possible to find someone who can 3D print and adapter, assuming the side loads are not too high (like a very heavy hose might be a bit much for 3D print unless it's resin)? And also need to praise Malin, great editing, working with the boat and doing everything else that needs to be done!

[@denisbeaulieu958]

The work being done is number one in the design and building process that is worthy of the many praised alluded in the video. You should look into dealing with a school that teaches woodworking to bring apprentices on site to observe and maybe later on, participate - thus making this a knowledge and experience transfer. Your ‘’weekly’’ makes my day and I see myself looking for it to pop-up on my subscription. Tks for the wonderful explanations offered along with the footage. Merci beaucoup! 👍🇨🇦

We also constructed our hull in 3 layers of 5 mm diagonal planking using west system epoxy. We used a oil filled column heater under the hull.
