Tips Revealed! - Fiberglassing a Boat Hull S3-E15

[@samanderson7745]

Bob Emser is literally the Bob Ross of boat building. Calm demeanor, knowledgeable, and charitable with passing his knowledge on. Great work Bob, I'm looking forward to when Victoria gets to settle into her home on Arabella!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thank you Sam! I appreciate your kind thoughts. Thanks for watching! Bob

The Bob Ross of boat building ... that totally fits this channel! Happy planks, smooth calm paint, lovely lines, and just plain beautiful.

[@BillB23]

Steve is going to have one fine tender. Your attention to detail and his match up quite nicely.

[@cadalot58]

She is getting more and more beautiful with each video and so much work goes into the preparation of each step, it's going to be a really special moment when Victoria is united with Arabella.

[@anthonyrondolino8148]

What an artist and teacher you are. Its an outstanding project and, perhaps more significant than your skills, is your generosity in providing this beautiful gift to Steve and the A2A project.

[@rickestabrook4987]

Outstanding Bob. Looking forward to the tiller challenge. I sense some bronze casting might be coming up. Thanks

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Hi Rick, Indeed already have some castings in the works.

[@plainnpretty]

I’m looking forward to the tiller challenge.

[@aaronpreston47]

Absolutely beautiful work Bob. You aren’t just building a boat, you’re building a piece of history.

[@golfdrtool947]

I love to watch someone that has a passion for what they do. Thanks for sharing.

[@rexmyers991]

Victoria is taking shape. It is BEAUTIFUL.

[@jedrzejborowy8543]

Your work is art. I admire your attention to detail. Watching many of your videos, I had the opportunity to gain knowledge helpful in renovating my old wooden yacht. Thank you and best regards.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Thank you Bob for an outstanding episode. Victoria is looking fantastic. Looking forward to seeing her color go on and what you do with the tiller and rudder. Have a great week ahead.

[@JimOHalloran]

Such beautiful workmanship and attention to detail Bob. Victoria is going to be quite the little boat!

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Amazing quality work as always, that is beautiful too. It is great to see your careful attention to detail, whilst maintaining a decent work rate. All the best from the U.K.

[@krockpotbroccoli65]

She looks great! This is definitely going to come in handy when I start refurbishing my little 8 ft fiberglass dinghy that was probably made in the 50s or 60s and had been sitting in a neighbor's yard for decades and in my yard for the past few years.

[@Twelvestonestacking]

I love your methodology! I don't seem to be able to duplicate it, but I love it! Craftsmanship at its highest level! Goodonyas!

[@TonyHammitt]

Great work Bob! She really looks good.

[@jossmaxwell00]

Excellent video, the fibre glassing, you made it look so easy. The tender is moving at a good pace and I sure Steve will be delighted when its finished.

[@michaelc.3812]

Terrific job Bob.

[@dion9146]

Excellent solution. Very classy and functional.

[@keithkrause3386]

Once again, simply awesome. A pleasure to watch you and learn.

[@kevinleeobermeyer5601]

Turning out beautifully, Bob!

[@medickaisu]

What a great episode. Much accomplished and very satisfying to watch.

[@mrvertigo23]

Brilliant episode yet again

[@rrdner5700sbcglob]

Superb, careful boatbuilding. Beautiful hull. I look forward to every episode. So glad you were tasked with this for Arabella's tender!

[@TotalBoat]

Excellent tips and tricks! Victoria is coming along beautifully!

[@MrJohnBos]

Absolutely lovely. I look forward to seeing her float. Great instructional video about using epoxy. Thanks.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

She is coming right along and looking great.

[@stanmoderate4460]

Looking good Bob. My brother who was a professional painter told me to store your paint cans upside down, especially a few days or weeks before use. This way the solids end up on the lid, half mix themselves when you right the can, and don't have to be dredged off the bottom of the can in order to mix.

[@rollyherrera623]

So glad I found you! My life goal is to make a small tri-maran with a small deck...Single person liveable to cruise Texas to Florida Gulf regions....Thank you, for helping me achieve my dreams!

[@johnanderson8096]

Thank You For Making.... Our Pleasure... No Doubt!!!

[@anonymous_protagonist]

Beautiful work like always, Bob! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@tomk1762]

Thanks Bob for all the tips on fiberglassing! We are about at the same stage with our strip hull kayak so the timing is perfect. I really appreciate your instruction and channel!

[@chuckwolf8540]

Another great episode sir

[@davidcogan9163]

It's good to see master's at work great job guys

[@johnb6763]

So fun to see this getting done. Thank you for posting it made my day.

[@mickfisch96]

Bob thank you for this great episode.

[@JamesMeyerArt]

I have a general question: I recently bought a 1965 blue Jay wooden sailboat, that I would like to fiberglass, the bottom has been painted since 1965. it is made out of thin plywood do I have to take the hull down to bare wood? or can I just generally sand the hull? I will read down and see if any one has asked this queston

[@jamesworsham125]

Very nice! I can hardly wait for the next episode.

[@jeffschulteis9168]

I love watching you work!

[@stevecourtney8572]

Amazing job always fun to watch

[@CorwynGC]

We finally get to see her lines. Looking great. Traditionally, a rudder like that would be removable, with the pintels and gudgeons slip fit, held in by gravity and a safety line. Curious to see what you come up with.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Hi Dirk, Yes, I show the transom treatment in S3-E11 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGbJmXVsdp19mac In the next video I'll be showing how the finish surface is handled. Thanks for watching! Bob

[@javierherrera6389]

Gracias por dejar ver su trabajo.Esta quedando hermoso.bendiciones.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

un placer, gracias por ver

[@ulie1960]

While watching the last moments of Bob painting the hull, I see a small speck on the hull..... it took me a moment to realise that there was a speck on my screen.... but then since we know Bob is some kind of a pefectionist, this was the only thing that could have been the reason that I saw a speck in the first place. Beautyful work from Bob again.

[@Meier760]

Me too!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nick.caffrey]

American workmanship at its finest!

[@TrapShooter68]

Teachers are born, not made. Bob, you're a natural born teacher! Thanks!

[@musicbro8225]

I'm looking forward to learning what manner of beast an 'out whale' is ;) Also seeing the inside will be exciting for me. It's such a beautiful shape. The wonders of boat building seem deep and bountiful, I love it!

[@lasersquidca]

The gunwales (pronounced gunnel) of a boat are reinforcing strips of wood that run on the inside and outside of the top of the boat to give it strength and rigidity. Otherwise the side of the boat would flex too much. The outwale is the outside gunwale.

[@musicbro8225]

@@lasersquidca Thank you kindly, well explained. So not even related to the whale then :) One of the wonders of naval heritage would definitely be the wordage (etymology).

[@Frebarros]

Great video and tips. Thank you for that.

[@DrDaveSalisburyPhDMBA]

Super excited to see the progress! Thank You!

[@redrockroger]

Extremely excellent videos. You give sufficient information of each step to convey the techniques used and reasons for using them, as well as mentioning alternatives. You don't bore us with hours and hours of sanding that is basically the same for the duration. Love your channel. 👍👍👍👍

[@howardmarshall5713]

Nice work Mr. Emser. Sorry about my patience missing your airing of episode 15 last weekend. It was worth the wait. Great job 👍

[@gregorymuller763]

Perfectionist at work!

[@h2energynow]

Awesome work.

[@TTM-GEB]

Fiberglass Cloth - YES this is the way to do it... You are spot on with using a roller to apply epoxy to and through the cloth. Pouring on and spreading with a scraper is NOT a good way, using a roller is by far the best way.

[@iowadownstream6120]

Echo the tip on laying the fiberglass down dry. I made a go at placing mine wet. Sticky mess. Bubbles, creases, etc...Thanks Bob!

[@나-w3e1m]

장인정신이네요. very nice video

Thanks

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thank You Brian!

[@OrcaboatsCa]

Beautiful work, Bob. It is coming along nicely. But from someone who has breathed in much too much dangerous stuff in my shop, I do however find it hard to watch you sand without a mask and brush all that dust into the air rather than vacuum it up.

[@gordonquickstad]

Way to go! Looks great.

[@cheeseburger347]

Well done

I love what you do.

[@13jshark]

This is nice. Great project 👍

[@charlesmoore456]

Simply amazing!

[@davidyendoll5903]

Nice to see Victoria coming together . I just wondered if using a slight colour difference to the coats , whatever coats , would help when painting , so that you would be able to see where the new coat was being applied ... so that all the surface was covered ?

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

What you see is just the primer. It is quit easy the see the difference between coat. Finish paint will undoubtedly have a slight color difference.

[@jasondohrman7098]

Awesome love the videos as always

[@reddogleader1968]

That was an extra good episode. Lots of solid content.

I have been following Arabella now for years. IThis is the first one of your pieces of that puzzle I have seen though. What a terrific job on all of it,. GREAT filming/ editing too!

[@kimber1958]

beautiful work

[@Lindholmer5k]

Been contemplating trying my hand at this for the past few years, drew up a boat in cad and everything, wich i lost when the harddrive died.. Lost all ambition of doing it along with that too i thought, but this here video was apparently all i needed to start drawing it up again :D

[@RCAVEMANS]

Look at Glen L Marine boat plans. I built the Bingo stitch and glue.

[@johnkatakowsi9907]

Thanks for your observations i was wondering about the second and third coats !!!!!!!😀

[@sunny71169]

Beautiful Bob, simply exquisite. No doubt Steve is ecstatic watching her take shape. Does all that sanding of the epoxy covered fiberglass thin and weaken her? I would have thought that 2 or 3 layers of glass cloth over the soft cedar planking would be needed to provide the abrasian resistence and structural intergrity that you want in a dingy that will be beached over and over again on sandy and rocky shorelines.

[@zorbakaput8537]

He has a weight limit he is working to as Steve wants to be able to lift it single handed from the deck.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Glass cloth decision in the description. Zorba reply has the correct short answer!

[@sunny71169]

@@TheArtofBoatBuilding Thanks Bob. Did not see that when I asked the question.

[@Gottenhimfella]

He's not sanding through to the glass, there are a couple of extra coats of epoxy, presumably one to fill the weave, and the second to allow sanding smooth without touching the glass filaments.

[@josephlai9759]

Thank you for sharing tips on fiberglassing. I was initially quite concern seeing how hard I thought you were sanding down after the third coat. I guess it does no harm to the fiberglass at all.

Fantastic work as always Bob! Are you planning to attend the wooden boat show in Mystic this June??
