wooden boat building

[@markharris5771]

No big ego, no complicated terms just simple explanations, no massive lists of unfamiliar tools. Just a modest man setting explaining something I would have previously thought to be well beyond my skill sets. He has shown me if I was physically capable I could do this, I think I'll see if my teenage grandsons want to build it with me for their fishing. Cooper has a fantastic role model.

[@Aaron.deRuiter]

Have you seen my DIY sup project mate? kzbin.info/aero/PLAQXLUUtHVUDPyM1_H3GzbqHmXkaMTafn You can build one of these in your garage.

[@ClayLoyd]

THANK YOU SAM DEVLIN!!! Currently building my 'first' stitch and glue 997cm (almost 10 feet) flat-bottom skiff with wide stern and up-angled narrow dory bow here in Kumamoto, Japan. It will be powered with a 2HP Tohatsu outboard. May put a removable front mast for small sail rig in future. No plans, just using what I learned from watching Sam Devlin's Polliwog video, so inspiring!!! Using 1/2" plywood (not marine grade) but it's already very sturdy (with wood powder and epoxy welds) and looking great. Should be a tank once coated with epoxy and glass. The hull is very light and will have wheels that can be lowered for easy one-man boat launching from my truck bed. Will put storage compartment forward for gear and battery possibly (I'll see how it sits and balance it with load distribution later). Have been working on it for one week and it has been a blast. I want to build another after this one. Sam's larger boats are beautiful and thank you for sharing this feature.

[@brianOcurradhin]

I've been looking at stitch and glue skiff s and I must say your technique is excellent thanks

[@WarthDader74]

I can't describe how much I enjoyed to watch this video! It was educational, inspiring, exciting....and he explained things in an easy way to understand. My respect to this boat building man!

[@mcconicoduka]

By far the most informative video on stich and glue boat building by one of the foremost masters of the technique. I say it could have been longer. I think it goes hand in handwith Sam's book. Thank you.

[@macsooner]

i bought the plans for a little bigger boat from Devlin boats . . . had a couple of questions, and even found a mistake in a plan, wrote to Sam and he was SO helpful . . . I can't wait to get started . . . this video is the reason I got involved. thank you sam!!!

[@media5161]

Is the plan help u to designe your own boat designe pleas if u see answer this?from africa Eritrea

[@johndoe-qo9bf]

WOW this was a very informative video on stitch and glue boat construction. I been watching alot of videos on building plywood boats and none of them are this good. You truly are a master boat builder. I ecspecially like the end of the video when your'e rowing around. That boat move around the lake like a fish in the water. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of boat building with everyone. Keep up the good work.

[@datsunrotten9477]

Sir you are so naturally corny it's precious.. I had to watch the video several times for new shop set up ideas and wood worki planning and execution skills. Nice work !

[@beyondthis7]

Superb training video!!! ...I finally understand "stitch and glue" boat construction... Well done sir, and thanks for taking the time.

[@carvinlambert6899]

Do you happen to understand how to make the layout formula a bit easier to understand? Thank you

[@christianmccollum1028]

I have learned something new today. I have never seen the stitch method used to build a wooden boat. Genius! Thank you, sir.

[@jaimealbarran6719]

Great explanation and instructions of building a boat, no matter what shape of a boat you build, is an excellent procedure for a good finish , I’m very thankful for your teaching.

[@stevejackson6439]

Great vid , Could you put a small outboard on that

[@thiru8254]

Very comprehensive guide on boat building. Very good video!

[@freezinweasle1]

Thank you sir. My son and I are about to build a boat from plans and your video was very well done and easy to follow. Again, thank you for sharing your love of boat building with us. Mark

[@mobynowak]

That was a fantastic video. I have been thinking about building a boat for many years and this video explains a great deal. Thank you.

[@dwetick1]

An uncommon method...stitch & glue, but it looks affordable and does not require any special tools or molds. I'm liking it the more I watch it.

[@malbradford3981]

Thanks Sam. I have wanted to build a boat for myself for many years, but have thought I never had the time or experience. After watching your video on the Poliwog I have been encouraged to build my dream.

[@p3t3rjhackett]

That is one of the best You tube videos I ever seen! Informative without too much talk, easy to follow and excellent graphics. Well done. Now... please, please, please do one for a wooden speed boat.

[@sherrylkeith6549]

Great to see that... I made it too. Using WoodPrix handbooks :)

Здравствуйте Сем! Я выражаю Вам слова благодарности за Ваше видео. Вы подсказали мне как воплотить свою мечту в жизнь. Низкий Вам поклон, дай Вам Бог крепкого здоровья!!! С Уважением Сергей Максимов, Россия.

[@mileshamford4886]

This guy is probably a good father to his child.

[@jshenbdjwla1463]

I have a feeling you're right

[@codgerbrown]

Thank you for creating one of the best boat building if not one of the best DIY videos I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Unlike too many videos on KZbin yours was presented at the right speed, had all of the information required to do the job, and most of all your voice wasn't like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard; some people have terrible voices and don't know it. I'm looking forward to watching all of your videos and hopefully attempting one of your projects.

[@iwan1106]

vidio ini sangat bagus dengan cara membuat perahu sendiri dan saya sangat banyak mendapatkan inpirasi dari vidio ini, terimakasih banyak.

[@jorgesimoncanedosoria6288]

This guy really knows how to take care of details!..amazing vídeo..very usefull

[@bertlambert3817]

This is THE VIDEO to watch. excellent IN EVERY DETAIL. thank you...the fastening of the wires answered ALL my worries. ..

[@WoodenBoatGuy]

Great video. I've built several cedar strip kayaks and canoes, but never plywood and never a skiff. This may be my next boat project.

[@PaulDeCamp]

It's so nice I watched it twice. And I'm not even building a boat.

[@wa4aos]

I don't know if I would actually build a boat but this has been one of thwe most interesting and informative videos I have seen on youtube, Just EXCELLENT!! Thanks

[@PPMOCRG]

That looks like a great little boat! Thank you for sharing your process with us.

[@mikel9567]

Wasn't aware that he was from my hometown. Lots of memories boating on budd Inlet and out in Boston Harbor. Helped my grandpa restore a wood dinghy when I was a little kid. Might have to look into some of his plans.

[@frogsoda]

A most excellent and informative video! I'm sure I will watch it several times before my boat is finished.

[@swmiddlemas]

Bought "Guppy" dinghy plans off Sam's website a week ago, and am super excited to get started. I have wanted to build a Devlin boat for quite some time now. Thanks for putting this video up for a little help with the process.

[@Joshleslie871]

Seth Middlemas did it go well?

[@tobyque9399]

4 years after, how is the boat?

[@sergedelval5373]

Many thank's Sam for this video .... will come to you very soon when will get free time to start with my boat building project ... Serge from Belgium

[@daedster1]

+Serge Delval gonna go over in the boat? lol

[@onecircle1]

I thought this was going to be a wood boat but a fiberglass layer was put on it. They always say how easy it is, but lets be real. This guy is an expert and like anything, its harder when you try yourself.

[@patbarrett9263]

THANKS FOR THE DETAILLED BUILDING INFO.i NEED TO CLEAN OUT MY GARAGE AND GET STARTED.

[@lloydholt6511]

Just saw this today and wanted to thank you for your demonstration of boat building. Great job and a beautiful boat!

[@xabixnaq]

This is an excellent video. Well done.

[@younggunz20]

Still a great video in 2018; simple and informative. Stitch and glue building method seems to be becoming more and more popular. I would love to build one of the Devlin duck boats as well as a Tolman skiff someday!

[@robertpascoe8620]

Thank you for sharing your skills! Truly beautiful little boat.

[@garyallsopp6369]

Really great video & a sweet little boat!

[@DukeLaCrosse20]

This is a really well-done video. As simple as this boat is, its still a pretty ambitious project. It just makes me appreciate how much harder it would be to build a larger boat.

[@Dagrond]

Man I wish I had a bigger garage. Nice video, fun and educational.

[@MrJterbush]

Mr. Devlin is a fantastic teacher. Thank you sir!

[@henrybig531]

A nice and easy way of building a boat. It s awesome!!!!

[@rayw3568]

How can I get these plans and others for a larger boat?

[@sailboat3212]

Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos, un ecxelente trabajo, tanto por su resultado como ppr s sencillez al explicar y ejecutar el bote. Creo que ha dejado un legado a todoa los que hacemos botes, usted podra morir algun dia pero su legado quedara, saludos desde Panamá.

[@richardboudville5188]

Thank you Mr Devlin. Well explained and illustrated. You make it look so easy. From Perth, Western Australia.

[@polygamous1]

a truly excellent video very well explained in a language we can all understand well demonstrated n a brilliant little boat at the end sir thank you very much

[@anthonypoole6901]

Love old school craftsmen bud. Nice job!.

[@chuckwebster565]

My hats off to you Sam. By far thee best video I've seen. Thanks.

[@VideoFromToronto]

Excellent video; clear and concise. The use of 3D images from the drawings overlaid on the actual parts makes this very easy to understand. Well done.

[@daleskidmore1685]

Thanks for making this vid. It is the best I have seen. I like the fact the tools are so basic, the only thing I don't have is a circular saw, because I don't like them. So straight forward.

[@Willingly88]

I owe this to you.when i was young i thought that someday i will make a boat a fishing boat like what you did or bigger,your idea encourage me to make a boat and now i started to buy tool to make my dream come true.you tough me to realize my dream.thank you vey much ang God bless you and your family..

[@P14-n7q]

Bravo votre video très claire, super projet. Magnifique méthode qu'est le cousu-coller, avec la résine époxy une vraie révolution pour les bricoleurs.

[@davidkasday5484]

A mini master class on stitch and glue. Thank you!! Please don't ever remove this as I (and I'm sure others) come back to it for a reminder of how it's done.

[@brentionbojaxhiu931]

very good video. l saw this video a lot of times and now l start making my own boat without plans.Thank you Sam Devlin

[@wulkie]

This is one of the first movies i watched before starting to build boats. Great!

[@bobbycraigue725]

Outstanding video, this was very helpful, thank you so much!

[@АлександрМожайский-ц2и]

+Walter DerCunningham Swindlers! Have sent garbage, and money have not returned.

[@minbari001]

Wow what a Great Video! Nice Clear Consise Tuition, what more could you ask for. And many thanks for the Feet Inches & Eighths explanation Boat plans and Lofting don't seem so Daunting Now Excellent !!

[@TheArtpimp36]

I am going through the beginning stages of my first boat build. I have recently decided to use the stitch and glue method. I figure out that this method would be simplest for my first build. The type of boat will be a center console skiff fishing boat. I will be a little difficult than the row boat you just did but it is what is needed for my inland lakes I fish with my son and daughter. I will try to post some vids of the process. Wish me luck.

[@donpatterson4973]

Where would I look to find the plans for this little boat. Email it to me I won't be able to use it for a couple of years but when I get back home I plan on building something just ike this only with a trolling motor place to tie down battery tackle box rod holders fore and aft thank you for the info great video best I've seen so far

[@bizim_eller]

Sam Devlin, master of the stitch and glue boatbuilding, thumbs up:)

[@chapmaker46]

lofting???? you got to be kidding me.thought that was a lost art..i have been building boats for over 40 years,,have lofted many boats,,from 18 to 55 footers..when i started boat building all boats were wooden and all were ribbed and planked... all keels and stems were hand cut and fitted.good to see someone still has the skills to craft a boat from scratch a nice boat,great vid..

[@basoenetariah8339]

How do one build a boat from scratch without using anyone design template? Are there basic rules?

[@8311XHT]

How was the skeg attached? Best how- to boat building video I have seen yet by the way.

[@charlesxix]

Nice looking little boat. I'm not sure if you would get away with calling it a "Polliwog" here in the UK nowadays.

[@erikewers816]

At least he didn't call it a Fanny Pack!

[@TCF2148]

Thanks, I needed that! I'll be building a boat over the next couple years and I've had some lingering questions that you answered verry well. Though my boat will be built using an inner framework and it'll be powered with an outboard, the process will be surprisingly similar in all other respects. It really helped to see someone doing the proceedures as opposed to just reading about them in a book and looking at pictures. I'm now looking forward to it instead of being aprehensive about it.

[@FirstFiveFrets]

I am inspired to build this great boat.

[@juanete69]

This is a really detailled and well explained video. Thanks. It would be also nice to see how you build a boat with old materials.

[@TheGuerillapatriot]

I am not a craftsman, but thank you so much for the inspiration. What a great video.

[@TuscanchickanSlayer]

Very good looking boat. It looks very simple to build

[@johnw4838]

Great video. I learned a lot. Thanks.

[@Banjo-lm2wl]

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL ARTICULATE VIDEO. i REALLY LEARNT ALLOT FROM YOU , IT WAS EXPLAINED VERY WELL AND i JUST KNOW I WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS BOAT ONE DAY SOON , THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM AUSTRALIA

[@jerrymarshall2095]

Excellent video

[@Allan98rocker]

I just watched 42 minutes of how to make a boat.. wow :)

[@jimstools3937]

SAM ,I learned Alot from this video. Thanks for sharing .I want plans fir this boat. or any others.

[@anthonyphillips7126]

Nice job thanks for some knowledge

[@Cetrero]

Very nice work! Thanks for share. Congrats.

[@52memor]

Greta video and a good Teacher. Many thanks

[@JezWalsh]

Great video. But I would like to make a feew suggestions. 1. Instead of wire why not use cable ties. 2. Why not just pipe the epoxy with the peanut butter consistency like in a freezer bag wth the corner taken off. Then go over it. Anyway just some suggestions. Can I get some likes guys so he can see them. Thanks

[@chrishuss211]

if you get epoxy on the wire you can heat and release it. On the ties they will stick and can create an air pocket.

[@christopherhamilton7311]

Nice, neat job. You make it look so simple, and everything fits and goes together first time! But I am not fooled .... if I build a boat by stitch and glue, I can see it will be pretty difficult. But you have shown us all the tricky bits and many of the shortcuts. Thanks.

[@cichlid62]

Absolutely awesome build. Best one I've seen yet.

[@ghazialobaidi2218]

Very good manufacturing ..... big like

[@jayendra_sah]

I've been researching into constructing boats and discovered an awesome website at Denelle boat builder (check it out on google)

[@silicononsapphire5102]

A well made video and very informative. Keep up the good work mate.

[@ISLANDERSAQUATICS]

i am considering building this boat i was wondering if it is possible to scale the boat up and perhaps make the boat around 9' 6" and also i have an 8 hp yyamaha and would like to know if i couls put that on the boat

[@watitnumtee4592]

Well done, very nice boat!! Thank you for your VDO!!!

[@FirstIrishKing]

Excellent video! Thanks

[@justinlee9976]

Awesome instructional. Thank you for the time you took to make this video!

[@danhaas]

nicely done! I'm gonna build me one of these!

[@Mr4starrguy]

Sam I've always enjoyed your inovative boat building and this video is excelent BTW. White vinegar is the best non toxic way of getting un cured epoxy off your skin

[@jerrymarshall2095]

No doubt ur an expert,i noticed u put the fillet on but didnt precoat the wood with thin epoxy.some say it is good to do this,it helps fillet to stick better.

[@louiyderawe6047]

The best video i saw about boat building

[@ernestoalivio294]

Awesome! Thank you for posting this very video.

[@oscarcamacho8455]

is there a way I can get the specifics (plans) to build this boat? I would greatly appreciate it. By the way, this video is awesome!!! thanks for sharing.

[@heladiorodriguez9311]

[@vladtepes97]

none of my local boat places has large sheets of fibreglass. where do you get that stuff?
