Season 2- Episode 1: Building a Sail Boat.

[@wrptkz]

Surprised ? J'avais commencé à l'épisode 30 un peu par hazard de mes recherches sur la construction de bateaux. Un drôle de monsieur qui mesurait et coupait des planches de facon précise...Et qui prennait le temps de filmer et d'expliquer chaque étapes...Tout simplement intéressant. (i got interrested by the men and his project) J'étais rendu à l'épisode S2-E47 et j'ai décidé de trouvé le premier vidéo. Et de tout reprendre depuis le début. C'est incroyablement captivant comme vidéos. Je dois tout voir et prendre des notes. J'ai hâte de voir "The mold" car j'en ai besoin pour mes modèles. Le montage des vidéos (the making of) : Ca demande beaucoup de temps et de montage ce qui retarde la construction mais nous en profitons largement. Un gros merci pour l'énergie investis et le partage. Bob est une personne méticuleuse et précise et "entêtée" j'en suis certain et ca donne envie d'en faire autant. James, models maker.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Merci je suis ravie que les vidéos te plaisent

[@jackbrandt3731]

You have picked the right one to build,own and sail. It is a forever boat meaning you keep it forever and put it in your will with the stipulation it stays in the family and never sold. Good choice and good luck on the build.

[@gaberouge239]

25 years old from Louisiana. Have a dream of building a small boat for awhile now. Been studying and trying to figure out how to get started. Watched your videos and fell inlove with them. Hopefully I can keep learning and finally start to build a boat.

[@Sowhat-u6f]

Always beautiful workmanship. Like that I see on SBC.

[@tsampadi]

Another immensely enjoyable and wonderfully informative video . I am just at the stage where I am about to build a boat myself for sailing practice . Personally I very much drawn to the Nordic Folkboat s Form . Having not sailed that much , and having it on my list of things to do before I die, and the fact that I live in a small seaside Town,in the U.K.,I thought this year I would begin . I am not a woodworker ,I am retired now but have been a jeweller for the greater part of my working life . But 20 years ago I owned a Steele Tugboat , which was moored on the Thames and I done a considerable amount of work both structural and Cosmetic on it. So I am not phased by woodworking, I like it , it’s more forgiving😊 Anyway I m digressing on a subject that is complex as it’s irreducibly evaluative and essentially contestable by it’s very nature. The Folkboat is too heavy , it would have to be kept in the water and lifted in the winter months. So I m looking at something with a lifting centreboard that I can without too much difficulty tow by my car, but solid built so I can pull it up on the beach here, which is not sand but pebbles,without damage to the hull ! I figure if I build it and sail it for a couple of years , and I feel at home with sailing , then I will get a motor sailor, and try a trip to the Mediterranean. However already prior to watching this video I had decided on Gaff Rig Tan Sails for the Main , which I will not make myself but order from the sailmakers , something inside just told me these are more manageable single handed. I also want a Genoa sail . So the Cornish people build Clinkers with solid Transoms , these look appealing , but they are usually 14 feet in length , and overly heavy , built with Oak . I m trying to research these and thinking of down scaling one to a Maximum length of 12 foot . They are solid workboats and can be beached , but don’t have centre boards generally but are great little sailboats nonetheless . Let’s see

[@davidc6510]

Great walk down history lane showcasing some of the amazing boat builders of the 20th Century. You sure picked a beauty and I am looking forward to watching the Have 12 1/2 from the beginning to fill in the gaps. Thanks for sharing!

[@wb2pcv]

Hey Bob, Thanks for starting this series. I'm a huge fan of both Paul Gartside and Joel White, so no bias there. For me, the choice was catboat vs sloop. Having owned and sailed both, I lean more toward the sloop due to the ability to shorten sail and maintain balance. Downside, of course, is more strings in need of pulling. White was a meticulous designer, gone way too soon. I think you made a very good choice.

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

I’m surprised to say that I hadn’t watched this previously. I like your whole, methodical approach in this. Strangely as I look back on it, my process for settling on the Haven myself was mentally similar but not quite so deliberate. I had thought to lift and loft lines off of one of my fiberglass production boats, a Demon 15, and rather accidentally stumbled into the H12. I fell in love with her lines and was then crushed to find out that we couldn’t get the plans or rights to a build, and then, way-lah, the Haven. Unlike you, I took this plunge having not the opportunity to actually sail one. I guess the reputation was enough. Well done Bob, great video!

[@ranger2316]

I can't believe I stumbled across this video. I have a beautiful rendering of a Beetle cat on the wall of my den. I enjoyed your planning and thought process and I look forward to binge watching the series! Well done. I can't wait!

[@peterforsythe3643]

I built a Somes Sound 12 1/2 here in Hong Kong. Enjoying this carvel version!

[@jtsancomb]

I just discovered you earlier today in your episode were you are discussing your thoughts on your preference for shearline. We sail a Hermann catboat around New Haven CT harbor. I sailed a Beetle cat once which was enough for me for more or less the same reasons as yourself. I just fealty very vulnerable sitting on the floor with my legs out in front of me. I plan to follow each of your episodes.

[@bensthingsthoughts]

I am so glad to have found this hidden KZbin treasure that is your channel !! I will rewatch this video, it was so full of very interesting things ! I love it. Greetings from Switzerland !

[@OgamiItto70]

I'm really interested to learn all I can about how you do that: walk in out of the snowy cold, take off your watchcap and your hair's perfect. There's real art there. 😁

[@mustafasenercetin4698]

Thanks for sharing insightful information really enjoy watching

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@wesleywillard]

Going back and watching all of these. I'm still working on my flat bottom / flats setup for fly fishing. I've determined my next is a more traditional, smaller sail boat. Really like this model. thank you for making these

[@Nicholas_Shaw.]

Before you can start something, having the correct perspective is essential to being able to start off as you aim to finish. The haven was a clear choice to me also. Great project. Subscribed.

[@motorv8N]

So glad to have found your series. I fell in love with the 12 1/2 the first time I laid eyes on it so I'm really looking forward to your in depth treatment of the build.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks. I too fell in love with the Haven after sailing one. They do have beautiful lines. Thanks for watching! Bob

[@gerryvandyk5551]

I'm awfully late to the party here, definitely going to watch your videos to follow the build. I had a similar evaluation process to select a sailboat to build, I landed on the Melonseed. Also a small gaff rigged boat, but without a jib.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Welcome aboard!

[@markwhite9148]

It's obvious that you work slowly and carefully. Your choice was a good one. Well done!

[@brunodunshee8937]

- Very nice job! I am building a wing boat, that i design.. My background is from surfboard building. I did a maquete before too!

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Looking forward to this build series. Your selection is well thought out and very doable by a single person in a reasonable time period. With the other channels that are building wooden boats and your channel I have finally found the perfect mix of videos to keep me from worrying about anything but boat building. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

[@d.c.stewart5336]

As you went thru your books I looked to my left and all but one was sitting on my end table looking at me. I am fully behind your choices. Truly excited about this series. Only a couple hours away if you care for a little help.

[@scottswineford6714]

You picked the right boat. There are only two others, both cruising boats I would consider. In my case medical needs have eliminated cruising. Maybe I'll build a 121/2 too.

[@vincegordon6830]

Outstanding! I think the method you like of building a model first is a very good idea!

[@mrklyles]

Excellent episode here Bob. I really appreciated the history lesson and you explaining the process of how you arrived at your decision. Enjoyed seeing the plans and patterns too. And as a fellow sculptor who has built dozens and dozens of maquettes, I agree that models really help you work through problems early on. They are an especially good step in a larger build.

[@lazier96]

A impressive looking and seaworthy boat. Will be a fascinating project for you and appreciate you sharing the build. Your video is well produced with great detail. Fair winds to you.

[@AdDiCtEdToWiNd]

As I am in my second year (2/4) apprenticeship to become a boatbuilder in Germany, I was wondering about the way or much more the direction you number/numerize the frame and mould stations, starting at the bow with 0 and going up on the way aft. Is this method common in North America? I've learned two different methods here in Germany. First is pretty similar, though it starts at the opposite end, beginning with the transom/spiegel, continuing with station 0 (=front end of transom), 1, 2, 3 and so forth. The 2nd method has station 0 at the widest part of the hull, while the station numbers in front increase and the station numbers behind decrease. Do you know these two different methods? Thank you very much for your inspiring videos!!! I admire your broad versatility, well structured working method and your calm voice. It's always easy to understand and follow you. Camera work and editing is well suited for it's purpose. Keep it up 😉

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

I have seen the different methods of numbering stations. In my experience there is a common thread to boat plans, however there is not a standard. I teach an online boat building clinic each week. When we discuss reading boat plans I tell them that it is sometimes a treasure hunt to find in information you’re looking for. Thanks so much for your kind comments. And best wishes in you boat building studies an journey. Please feel free to contact me with any further question. Cheers, Bob

[@SteveHayes1]

Bob, I'm looking forward to this series on building your new boat.

[@douglasdexheimer1081]

Bob, I took your suggestion and watched "of Boats and Brothers". 2. Thanks for your methodical approach, probably similar to Capt Nate's. 3. I have been to Eureka, Il years ago, while my folks lived in Groveland, just a few miles away. 4. I'm fascinated by the three way collaboration between Steve at Acorn to Arabella, Leo's Tally Ho, and your site. keep up the good work, you are my inspiration!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Cool, thanks

[@adamovita000]

Just found your channel and subscribed I'm looking forward to watching this build. I know nothing about sailing, but I've always found it fascinating.

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

I believe your decision to build Haven is a great choice. I see problems with a caulked hull if not keep in the water. Like the gaff rig and centerboard. It will be quick to launch and recover on the trailer. You must feel she will be a great single handler to sail. I'm in for watching your progress.

[@rt88glow]

The Haven looks like a fine boat to build; looking forward to the series

[@andysparks7381]

Bob, I have enjoyed your videos over the past couple of years. I am beginning a project on a boat that is basically the big brother to the Haven 12-1/2, that being the Joel White Flatfish 20'3". The plans for this boat require lofting unlike the Haven with its provided templates. As I go along, I wonder if you might give me some advice on certain aspects of the build. I am presently in the lofting stage and working on collecting the oak timbers I will use for a lot of the boat. I will be milling them from oaks obtained from my and my parents' land.

[@thesecretlab434]

A little late to the party, I just found out about your channel thanks to the lads over at Acorn to Arabella. I'm very excited to watch the progress of your build. I too have been contemplating a small day sailer and considered the very same designs at you. I settled on Tom Cat because I've had a long standing affection for cat boats. Also, it's a slightly smaller boat, so hopefully with require less material, and has a simpler rig, as well. Plus, I really love the little cuddy cabin on Tom Cat. Maybe a Haven 12-1/2 will be my second build? Ironically, I was using my copy of "The Making of Tom Cat" as a table for my lap top while watching this episode! ;)

[@Mattdabbs101]

Love the Mr. Rodgers intro.

[@sethwarner2540]

Yes,I would build the HAVEN;I could not sit on the bottom! Not any more! My Dad built his own design of ketch, over 10 years; he named it the PERSEVERANCE! The boat at 7:18 is my view of ideal design; seems elegant and stable.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Hi Seth, The Beetle Cat is a beautiful boat. Indeed it is elegant and a very stable vessel. Unfortunately, one does have to sit on the bottom.

[@mikebassett1663]

You have a great talent as an educator and you possess incredible skills across many crafts. A rare combination. Now that I have been through your whole series a few times I think this build has been rendered much less daunting than it otherwise would have been. How many physical hours did you eventually put into the build, it seemed to be fast but I'm sure it was not. What is it like in light airs? I expect when it gets going its mass will give it momentum during momentary lulls at the expense of acceleration in gusts but the coast where I live can sometimes be breezy and choppy other times very quiet for many days at a time. Is there any way to improve light air performance? For example, halving the lead ballast and compensating with water ballast. I came across a Chuck Paine variant called the Levant 15 which is said to have a lower wetted surface area because the hull has been very slightly re designed around the keel to remove the deadwood and forefoot, is that something I could think about or is it very unwise to modify the design - I expect you will say "stick to the design". Can you suggest another design that is very much in the spirit of the havens 12 1/2 but shines in lighter airs.

[@edwardcook9957]

Thank you for doing this. I've been wanting to build a real sail boat for a long time. Way too old now. I've built a lot of models of sail boats. the biggest was a 5 ft model of the Highlander Sea or the Star all from the plans. Looking forward to your build.

[@mikehagemyer859]

Hello Bob, by my way of thinking which of course is only opinion you have chosen the right design. I look forward to following your project and thanks for sharing.

[@simmonscarl1]

I have also taken the same sailing course at the WBS. I have also sailed all three boats and both the haven and herreshoff sail the same. There is advantages to all three, The beetle cat is really easy to prepare to sail. It also has a huge cockpit where it is easy to lay down and sail the boat on light wind days. The herreshoff has a very clean cockpit (no CB trunk) but not easily trailerable. Both are very nice day sailers, with a self tending jib which makes it a great boat for single handling. I would also have gone with the haven over the beetle cat.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Very educational video. Thanks for sharing the processes you used to decide on a boat, and the histories of former shipwrights that influenced your planning direction.

[@BrunoWiebelt]

finally I found a small boat building ... think you made a good desition

[@pcahill10]

I can't wait to follow your build. I have the plans for the Herreshoff Coquina, but I haven't started yet. Your comments about the Haven have me interested. You may just change my mind. By the way, I live in Illinois, pretty close to your Elmhurst installation. I plan on driving by over the weekend.

[@luisymaz473]

Bob, thank you much for this video! I enjoyed so much and I'm looking forward to see your new project come through.

[@buffplums]

I’m so glad I found your channel, this is really exciting to watch your progress on this boat. I’m 57 and not very much in shape but I feel like I would love to go to that boat building course. I live in the U.K. but was thinking if I could do a 2 week course as my annual holiday … only snag is what to do with the misses … not sure if she would be interested… but then again maybe she would?

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Hi Chris, Welcome aboard! If you can't make it to Brooklin, ME You might want to consider joining my online boat building clinic. It's a one time fee for lifetime access. Check it out here: www.bobatbuildingbootcamp.com Cheers, Bob

[@sailscb]

A well thought out choice for your next build. Having a model to look at may lend a little extra motivation on the more challenging days.

[@newtonmiller8810]

Bob, I’m not sure if you will get this question, however it pertains to the sculpture at Sydney’s Bondi beach, was that in the sculptures by the sea program, if so when and what happens to it? I live in Sydney and would love to see it. I’ve recently become a subscriber after seeing you on the Arabella program and am fascinated and impressed with the quality and consideration of your work, truly inspiring thank you so much for the sharing and explanations in your art, too often artist and I guess richly so hid the back ground detail, I find understanding an artist helps better understand the art and brings it to life, often we find out much after an artist passes on, which is unfortunate as we all have some thing to offer and should share out thoughts and inspiration. Again thank you for sharing yours.

[@shipskepr1]

how awesome bob,i love all three ,your choise is spot on,i have lines for a 22 foot Phinney cat boat,early 1900s design,i plan on building .I learned sail on a comet ,,a 16 foot one design center boarder,fun boat to sail,i look forward to the build,,,paul

[@leswheeler2023]

about 8 months back, I purchased Paul Gartside's "RIFF". I had been looking for a long time for a pretty strip plank boat and this for me fills the bill. I have been sailing for 55 odd years, and have built a few yachts during this time, my latest is not a yacht but a Tolman Widebody skiff for fishing and is nearing completion. The Riff will be built after the Tolman is launched because of a lack of space. I used to sail in the harbour at New plymouth in NZ, but now do the race management side there instead, and have moved my sailing up to an estuary north called Waitara, where I sail 303's. Its the kinda place where every thing is casual, and run by a small but dedicated team, and also sailing a mixture of classes. The Riff will fit right in

[@FRIDAYNIGHTGARAGENIGHT]

Well i am so glad i came across your channel as i have also been inspired by the same boat designs as yourself. I have no sailing knowledge or boat building experience but I shall definitely be embarking on this path once iv finished helping my Dad.

[@froggerland]

I really enjoyed your video. I'd like to know more about your back story, and how you got into sculpting.

[@peterphilipp1976]

Great content, amazing craftsman, instantly subscribed! KZbin finest!

[@vicferrmat4492]

hello BOB your videos are inspiring to me, as I am presently trying to build a boat for the first time. Can you tell me, are the design principles the same for wooden boats of all sizes? Oh by the way, I first saw you when you helped on "Acorn to Arabella". I will be looking forward to your uploads. Thank you.

[@petertougaard3334]

Are there any good places to discuss the building of Haven 12 1/2? Materials, methods etc. Any indication of material cost and hours to build the Haven?

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Peter Tougaard there is a Facebook group Haven 12 1/2. Lots of current, past and future builders. Here is a link facebook.com/groups/176318700298118/?ref=share Cheers!

[@jamesHadden-l6l]

This is late but great vid Before they used drawing plans vessels were built directly from a half hull

[@peacekeepermoe]

Great channel. Will be following your boat build journey. All the best!

[@EricEversonArtAndDesign]

Regarding modeling, I've been working on a floating sculpture design myself. As I work out various details I must have built it in my mind hundreds of times over. I have sketched and refined over and over as I consider different aspects. I still think it'll be worth the time to model before building. I figure it's better to work out the fine points and look for potential problems before risking wasting materials. I'm thinking of doing my modeling with 3d software, though. Thoughts?

[@TermiteUSA]

I really like the lines and rig and the Haven seems much more adaptable to cruising shallow and coastal areas. I do wonder if a deeper rudder would handle better when heeled over.

[@Steffenator]

That’s going to be a handsome little boat.

[@dannyroberts5056]

I bought an older wooden lightning class sailboat a few years back. The mast is broken in three pieces and the stem piece is damaged. It came on a trailer with dry rotted tires. It needs alot of work and has no title. Im not sure if it was ever registered with the association. I will order a set of plans for an existing hull . I dont plan on racing it I just want to get it back on the water. Once I have finished the restoration I will start learing how to sail it . I will then start my build on a boat I purchased plans for ten years ago. I figure the lightning will give me some experience before I build the larger sailboat. The larger sailboat is a Camden Class Sloop. Its 28'3" on deck and draws 4'3" and is 6'9" wide. First thing is first building a shop to build it in out of the elements. I will be following your build so I can learn as I tackle these two boats. I have built 4 kayaks and a Jon boat. One kayak was a SoF two were plywood and the last one I built was a cedar strip kayak. The Jon boat was built from lumber given to me by a tree service company. It was some kind of pine and had knots through out. I built it 12 years ago and float the streams here in the Missouri Ozarks. Sorry for rambling so long. I have subscribed to you channel. Thanks for this series.

[@TargetTime]

Awesome. Been looking for you in my list but couldn't find the channel. Then I remembered I still had your card from the lead sale. Subscribed this time , must have not went through last time. Good luck

[@CorwynGC]

She has sweet lines, I have never gotten to sail one, though. Enjoy.

[@BigFiveJack]

Hello, I feel a little foolish asking, but, in the description your final eight or nine words, (Joel Whites 17 foot daysailer, the Haven 12 1/2 ) leave me confused. How long will this boat be please? Thank you! It'll be a dream boat, most assuredly!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

The 12 1/2 refers to the length at the water line. From stem to stern it is approximately 17'

[@BigFiveJack]

@@TheArtofBoatBuilding That clears up my question perfectly, and I thank you!

[@Tinmanstees]

I love your style so glad I found your channel!

[@davorindubenik972]

I wish you all the best in your work. My choice would be Herreshoff but I'm limited with space so it'll probably be the Gartside's cat boat. But, there's also a problem, I don't like the cat boat design, the mast way up front so I'm in the problem. I'm looking for a 12 ft design with mast positioned not so up front as a cat boat, gaff rigged and a traditional carvel planked or clinker. We'll see what will come up. Thanks for a nice videos. Greetings from Croatia.

[@mikejustice1196]

All three😉

[@guskotting4223]

I am very inspired and thank you for a wealth of information and for this creative process. I hope to make the trip to Mystic to meet you in person.

[@brianwhitehouse8380]

Wow. Impressive project. Congratulations. I’m still in the “hopefully someday” stage myself. I’d probably go with Somme’s Sound because I think it’d be a bit easier to build, and I’m worried I’d never finish a Haven. I also really like the look of lapstrake boats. Finally, I feel like carvel planked boats need to stay in the water or they’ll leak for a while each time you put them in - but I might be wrong about that. Looking forward to the journey!

[@hplogsdon293]

Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but both of your amazon links in the description link to the "Of Boats and Brothers" DVD. The Plans and Dreams book link needs some fixin. I was also going to suggest changing them to be amazon affiliate links in case anyone clicked them and bought the items so you could get some pocket change, but if its been a year since you published this video and I'm the first to comment about the links, it may not be worthwhile. Up to you, however. Cheers.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks HP, I’ll take a look. I appreciate your bringing it to my attention. Cheers!

[@petterandersson7429]

Thanks for going through your decision process. I would like to build a day sailor as well. I wonder if a 12.5 foot boat can be comfortable enough. Can you sit up in the cockpit or are your legs sticking out? Can you stand up? I would appriciate if you could tell me what height the benches are above the floor. Thank you. I am subscribed now and looking forward to the build.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

The 12 1/2 can fit 4-5 adults comfortably with plenty of leg room. Yes you could stand up not a great idea while sailing. the seats are normal height around 18". Thanks for subscribing!

[@TermiteUSA]

One more design question: how do you calculate the location fore and aft of the center board? As you were holding the model I was imagining the sail area and could see a lot of weather helm potentially developing if the center board is not far enough foreward to balance the rig. Hope that makes sense, just sayin'.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Capt Termite all these calculations were done by Joel White the Haven 12 1/2’s. Designer.

[@Mikkel54]

This looks great Bob. However the American book by Paul Gartside cost between 250 and 800$. Where can I fint and pay for that book on a reasonable price. I also have to pay for transport and more as I am a Danish boat builder.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Hi Mikkel, That's a crazy amount. Here is a link to Paul Gartside's website. $50. USD store.gartsideboats.com/collections/books/products/plans-dreams-vol-1

Thanks for the quick reply! I’m ordering a set of plans! I was planning on building another canoe, but I may have just changed my mind!

[@flynow5614]

my question is how many hours did it take to build the bluejacket model?

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Greg Mckinley ,I think around 15-20 hours. However, I have built many models and I didn’t add all the rigging details as my goal was a reference tool not a model to be displayed. I think it would take around 40 hour for display quality. Happy modeling!

[@shanebba2]

Great video! Looking forward to seeing your build. I am nearing the end of a Paul gartside 16 1/2 workboat. I love his plans very detailed. Thanks for sharing your build! She will be a beaty

[@dndamian]

Wow. This is what I would save if the internet collapsed one day 💙

[@ClaytonwFirth]

Could you provide a link to the plans for the haven please?

[@brinjoness3386]

Try contacting the company. Best to buy plans then build a boat, be sued and find you can't share it with anyone as there would be no way to get insurance for it. Boats are expensive, getting the proper plans isn't a drop in the bilge. And it ensures new designers will enter the field and old designers are compensated. Or get a pad of paper and draw your own.

[@ClaytonwFirth]

brin Joness sorry, I wasn’t suggesting a link to free plans. I have searched and couldn’t find a link for purchase.

[@cloudymeowsgames7855]

Witch would I build mmmmm one of each because I could not make up my mind

[@dalerimkunas]

I am wondering why you were more interested in carvel vs lapstrake construction. You didn't go into your reasoning on that.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

I was very interested in learning about carvel planking. The last boat I built has a lapstrake hull. I tend to be more interested in projects that are a challenge and present an opportunity to learn. Cheers, Bob

[@NickLuker]

I think for a sculptor, or anyone who is a visual/kinesthetic learner, modelling first is crucial. However, anyone who is a logical learner, plans should be sufficient. I'd be scared to meet the sculptor who could knock out a David without a maquette. My wife majored in studio art before becoming a doctor. I wonder what kinds of things she could make and design if she were to start woodworking.

Yes Building a model first is the way to go to fully digest the details of the plans - but wait - you didn't build a model from the plans, you assembled a kit. Quite a bit different by far.

The link for plans and dreams didnt work for me so I looked it up on Amazon. WOW, $835 US for a book of plans? (Plans and dreams) This "hobby" is well out of my reach. Guess I'll just have to live this dream through other's KZbin channels. Build on, sir, I'll dream of building whilst I'm watching your build.

May I beg you to turn off the Ads please? Or one in the beginning and the end!? In my opinion they are spoiling the good work you have created here. I am sure, there are only small incentives to you that will not matter. Thank you in advance!

Thanks for the notice. I have the ads turned off. It has to be done video by video. This video was published before my channel was monetize. I will go back and make sure there aren’t any mid roll ads. Thanks again for bringing it to my attention. Cheers, Bob

In the third world, large boats are built without models or plans. It's all just in their head. Not that I'm recommending that.
