Building a Speed Boat without Plans in 5 Days| Part 1 of 2

[@TheLloyddavies]

My two favourite woodworking youtubers collaborating! I hope there’s time for some pattern plywood to be integrated somewhere and a cocktail tutorial for the first launch from Jason! Fantastic work getting so much done in 2 1/2 days! Can’t wait for part 2!

[@MichaelAlm]

Next video 😉 thank you!!

[@yourstruly6548]

As someone who loves watching content from the school of wooden boat building (NWboatschool) and Sampson boat co it was super fun to watch a more loose and smaller take on boat building! I would love to hear a boat builders take on this and what they would do differently, but I also think that this is a good testament to how even very complicated projects can be tackled when you have a progress over perfection mindset. Great work so far and looking forward to part 2!

[@thediddly]

Hey fellas, well done! You started the idea well, the spine is called a keel. And yes the best way is to build off the keel out and up. What term your looking for is a shipwright (wooden + sail ships) vs ship builder (steel) i know, i was a shipbuilder once.

[@TrevorDennis100]

That's as quick a 24 minutes as I can remember in ages. Thoroughly enjoyable. I am not completely compelled to watch Jason's video.

[@joshwarner5676]

What a tease! Gotta wait a whole week for the next part? 😉 This is so cool. Love seeing the process. This is such a great colab.

[@MichaelAlm]

It’ll be worth the wait, I promise!! 👍 Thanks!! 🙌 🚤💨

[@_DST0NE_]

How have I not seen this video until now.. you two are my favorite woodworkers on the web!

[@marcusretaken72]

Two of my favorite makers in the same video. My year is complete!

[@oliverf944]

As a boat builder watching this. it quite entertaining. processes we think is common knowledge is clearly not.

[@somethingelse2740]

Great build guys! The build is very much like a lite-ply RC airboat I built back in the 80's. I love seeing how you guys tackled building a boat having no boat building knowledge. Well done! Looks beautiful.

[@robertajohnson3671]

Enjoying the different views of doing the same thing

[@jaymzx0]

Heck yes! PNW collaboration. 🏞 Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@mirameejung]

@8:05 - I loved how you show the reality of just staring, thinking, & brainstorming. Entertaining. Gave me a laugh. Yet I totally relate to those “stop & stare” moment. 🖤👍🏼

[@MichaelAlm]

There was a lot more of that than I could capture on video 🤣🤣🤣

[@rosstifer07]

love both of you guys! So glad to see the collab!

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

This project is absolutely insane! Amazing collaboration you two! Maybe one of these days I'll grow a big enough channel to be able to do some cool collabs :)

[@ryderscustomcreations3665]

That’s my dream too.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks Eric!! I'm sure you will 🙌

[@ivan7453]

Wonderful to see two great craftspeople make an awesome build:)

Ultra nice video! You made it look so easy and fun that I think about building one myself. And I don't even like boats.....

[@MichaelAlm]

Awesome build. Loved watching yall all week!

[@ronniestanley75]

"Let's have a glass of whiskey and revel in the fact that it's 9 AM.". Been there. Done that.

[@ryderscustomcreations3665]

Michael I loved this colab with Jason. I’ve been waiting for it since before Covid, he mentioned possibly doing a project with you. It was really interesting seeing the same content from 2 different creators point of view/style. I don’t wanna hurt Jas-uh-er-um anyone’s feelings but I was surprised which video I liked more given the same lighting, setting, sound, project, tools, etc, and just the story, voice over, film editing, etc to set them apart. I can’t wait till the next part!

[@MichaelAlm]

Thank you! Yeah we've been planning this for a while, and it was well worth the wait. Jason is a blast to work with!!

[@WoodTurningArt]

Beautiful boat making

[@dragowars7712]

Jason is very strong and its light

[@mentalneil]

Awesome, something totally out of your comfort zone,

[@Christian6.1803]

Oh man, look into glue and stitch build technique for the next one. Also cheers!

[@MichaelAlm]

I’d love to try that!! Cheers 🙌

[@tommycristaldi9037]

Awesome build!!!

[@blb2388]

Don"t worry about using nails/staples. The Gougeon Brothers (the originators of the W.E.S.T. System) do that all the time.

That really looks nice. And here I thought BourbonMoth was in New Orleans!

[@vothqualitycreative]

Freakin’ awesome!! This is so cool can’t believe it took me this long to watch.

[@samael978]

Michael looks like my old boss and the other guy looks like a woodworking keemstar, this was very trippy for me to watch

[@TracksWithDax]

This is amazing Michael!! Been listening to Shop Sounds a lot too so it's very cool. Gonna watch Jason's video as a comparison, lol

[@MichaelAlm]

Awesome, thank you!

[@billcollier8208]

I'd love to see a boat made the same only the boat you just made being a 1/4 the size of the new boat. Of course 10 times motor size. A 40 🐴 🐎 HP.. It should make 30 knots. I noticed you trying to get the boat tomorrow plane by spreading the wait towards the bow.. lol 😆. I made my first boat a hydroplane at the age of ten. Great job guys.

[@pamelagreen8543]

That’s going to be a sweet boat!

[@luctoulouse]

Didn't know you before your "tag" team with Jason......Let's subscribe!

[@josilvestre8410]

I dont know if its just me, but when i see makers who’s stuck on what they do.. i always remember la penseur.. 😅✌🏼

[@plywood55]

Fantastic. It's my dream.

[@randallcrisp3266]

This looks so epic! Xyla Foxlin could provide insight 😬

[@MichaelAlm]

Totally!!

I clicked so fast! You've been teasing us far too long on this built and now another week? I'll patiently wait, the ~appetizer was amazing and you we're clearly having fun :) superb watch, as always

[@MichaelAlm]

Hahaha! Sorry for the wait! We got half way into our edits and realized there’s WAY too much to this build. I promise it’ll be worth it 😉 Thanks!! 🙌

This is a cool boat, but how long will it last with the contact of water?

So much fun to see woodworkers working together and experimenting! So often a solo activity this looks like way more fun. Were there any arguments?

[@AIMLESS-NAMELESS]

Leo would be proud

[@glenlongstreet7]

I worked for a very high end sailboat builder for a decade. I didn't really pay attention to the names of the parts, but I do remember 'stem to stern' and 'frames' or 'stations". The guy doing the stem spent a lot of time kind of winging it, or that's what it looked like to me. We didn't use nails, just epoxy. But I am really enjoying watching you building your boat. When do you get to the sanding part?

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks Glen! There will be a good bit of sanding in the next video 😂

[@fanoskirollis2292]

Awesome

[@j.v.9936]

after clamping two planks to a table and thinking about the basics 1:55 you know, we‘re at the point, if we do this well enough, it‘ll actually be a cool boat XD

[@ericseidel4940]

I would have epoxied all part individually before gluing together. Water and salt goes everywhere withing wood. And yes boat builders would use copper or fiberglass nails.

[@findingretreat]

osum job guys!!!i like d bearded dude!!!he is funny!!!

[@AnonOmis1000]

You guys should have gotten the lad working on the Tallyho to help you. He's in the area.

[@JessiFayS]

You linked to a boat built 9 months ago. 😃 I found the new one on his KZbin, but I was confused at first.

[@MichaelAlm]

Yeah it took him several months to build the boat 🤷🏼‍♂️ but I guess "a couple months ago" isn't quite accurate

[@iambear.6526]

Wow this is what his shop looks like on a real camera!

[@MichaelAlm]

Ha!

[@josephbrauer2573]

you mean you got to see Jason's serious side ? just kidding we all know he doesn't have one ;-) . love Bourbon moth.

You should have did your pattern plywood thing for the dash. Maybe some other part of the boat.

[@starhawke380]

Your inspiration for this project was Walt Disney? Keep moving forward.

[@maverickstclare3756]

Dashboard - Correct me if I'm wrong but you don't get mud splashing from dashing horses when you're piloting a boat, so I suggest it has a different name :)

[@graycraig2557]

I died in the part where they were just staring at it. I get that. Creation almost requires that sometimes.

[@MidnightMaker]

Dude, I loved this video! It was SO cool to see how you and Bourbon Moth both made your own style of video of the exact same project. I don't think I've ever seen a collab like that. I think it was a brave decision. I can't wait to see how your boat turns out. I've built two boats and am about to embark on a third, long-form build on my channel KZbin.com/c/MidnightMaker. Yours is turning out amazingly well for not having plans. BTW, I'm just off Green Lake in Seattle. Take care...

Thanks Keith! This definitely won't be our last collaboration. We had way too much fun!!

[@Theexplorographer]

Your transom should have been two laminated 3/4" ply. It will work the way it is..but over time, that is a weak point in your design. Chines are the point where the sides of the boat meets the hull. It's a profile term rather than a part. Fun build!

[@bikergirl2000]

7:23 a boatbuilder lofts their design. That means they draw it full size on the floor and fiddle with the lines until they look right. Your jig would be called a strong strongback. Boatbuilding lingo isn't that hard really!

[@vexxxgaming7303]

"We needed it to move forward." Pun intended. Ya know, cause it's the motor.

[@MichaelAlm]

Ha!

[@albert276]

I’m only 54 seconds into the video and I have a question. Which one of you is Dunning?

[@Garryck-1]

Re your boats "spine". The word you're looking for is "keel."

[@MichaelAlm]

Ahhhh! That makes sense

[@sleepyjesus7265]

Looks awesome. I was kind of disappointed when I saw how tiny the outboard is. But given 'design as we go' approach to the boat building, I'd say it's probably better that the motor isn't too powerful.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks! The outboard was literally the only one we could get in time for the build. So we went with it, and if we need to we'll upgrade down the road. 🚤💨

[@sleepyjesus7265]

@@MichaelAlm Couldn't you have gone to a store to get an outboard like in the 90's? Remember when things were bought at shops that weren't just a website and a warehouse. Or would it have ruined your schedule?

Awesome build. If you were worried about the brads rusting could you have used stainless fasteners?

Even stainless steel rusts if it's not exposed to oxygen. Monel or silicon bronze would be the way to go.

[@matonmacs]

@@Garryck-1 but can you get those in a collated stack for a nail gun?

@@matonmacs - I get that.. and I'm even kind of ok with it. But there WILL be a price to pay, down the track. Those mild-steel nails (and staples!) will start constantly weeping rust after a while. No matter how well they try and seal the timber, as plenty of others have learned the hard way.
