[@stevehardingham1121]

These people doing this work are history in the making. They take pride and continue on with there knowledge and skills that are a rare breed. Love to see this work take place as I am an old guy to. Love it.

Yes. This sort of skill needs to be treated as a national treasure! No exaggeration! No hyperbole. The world will rue the day that this becomes a lost skill.

This is the skill Fredrick Douglas had that essentially got him up north where he could get away. Thats what I think of when I see this. When people heard him talk they didn't believe he was ever a slave so he wrote a book about his journey. Everyone should read it. Just sayin

I can’t believe how easy these guys make caulking look Iam tired after half an hour lol

Cotton and oakum used to be spun together, and driven in the seams very carefully, otherwise, it would push the planks apart, in a self-defeating result.

Great video. I'm currently building the bluenose wooden model kit from model shipways. Was nice to see this video pop up.

Painstaking labor just imagine how this was done in 500 or 600 years ago.

What is the rate of carpal tunnel? That must be a very physically demanding occupation.

[@JoeMama827]

They don't use Swedish tar anymore?

[@michaelmixon2479]

Very easy to see why theses are million dollar plus boats.

[@JasonJason210]

I'm sure putty wasn't used in the 1600s.

boondoggle project....25 million to the tax payer. You dont think there is a salty Nova Scotia builder that could have done it for 10 million?
