Dinghy is Looking More Like a Boat with an Amazing Removable Sole S3-E18

[@Buck1954]

I see why Steve chose to have you build his tender. It is nothing short of floating fine cabinetry. Well done!

[@nielsvlietland5406]

18:24 all srews in the same direction👌 nice!!

[@calebbuswell]

Art and skill. This Dinghy is nicer than most peoples boats.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

That tender is really looking beautiful Bob, you are doing a wonderful job on her.

[@Jacob-W-5570]

Can I just say a massive thank you for always putting the conversion imperialmetric on the screen.

[@martinpiggins5772]

Great job Bob, ain’t nobody builds a boat like you do👉🏻🏅

[@raceace]

Almost needs to be placed in a bottle, but the Arabella crew will get a first class tender here. Beautiful little boat.

[@mattm9871]

Was thinking the same thing😂. It’s too pretty to be used-Should be preserved under glass!

[@kipm1777]

Couldn’t agree more! “Make it beautiful.”

[@renaykung3542]

You certainly makes things beautiful.

[@mcc19606]

Forgot to mention, you're camera work and editing is first class and allows us to focus more on what's necessary .

[@mcc19606]

Great to have mates. Mike 🇦🇺

[@charlesmoore456]

Outstanding, Bob! 'Beautiful' is an understatement. Are you going to be at the launch of Arabella?

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Yes I’m looking forward to it!

[@kevincorbin6273]

Steve is one lucky guy to have you building his tender, beautiful work

[@billmeldrum2509]

Wow… just WOW! 🇨🇦

[@TennesseeTraveler01]

Unbelievable craftsmanship Bob. It is a pleasure to watch your attentiveness to great detail. Victoria will be the crown jewell for Arabella!

[@inventiveowl395]

Yet another beautiful episode. During this week at work, I caught myself tightening flathead screws on electrical boxes so that the grooves would be aligned. I think watching your videos is starting to imprint on me.. :D

[@garyfairbrother5532]

I first learned that back in 1971 when I was watching an electrician wire outlets in a gas station. I have done it myself to this day. Stuff like that sticks.

[@cosmicinsane516]

Cool to see an old forgotten crumbling boat come alive again in a new form.

[@Fig330]

I bet this guy never has to cut twice! Beautiful boat.

[@darrenjohnson4482]

Have you thought about some brass cups for where the sole pins and latches go into the bulkheads/mast step. To stop wear on the wood and also seal the wood where the holes are to prevent water ingress into the wood. Enjoy watching this project progress.

[@redrockroger]

Absolutely love the way you teach the why and how of each process. You are a great teacher. I will never build a boat, but your thinking of how to do things will contribute to my projects in a big way.

[@schwabrichard9829]

Bob you are without per, The Artist of Boat Building!!!

[@donwilliams3626]

Victoria will be the tiara that will adorn Arabella as she navigates the world.

[@glencrandall7051]

"If you're going to make it, make it beautiful." There is no argument, you certainly have made it beautiful.👍👍Steve is going to go wild when he sees this master piece.🥰🥰 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@plakor6133]

A beautifully filmed and edited episode, to say nothing of the build itself.

[@scoliosiswhisperer]

Thank you bringing it to Wooden Boat Show! It was great to meet you in person.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

It was a great event. I enjoyed meeting many of you as well.

[@fonhollohan2908]

Well, Bob, Steve was a smart fella to get you to build this tender for him You've done one incredible job! my friend.

[@krockpotbroccoli65]

Beautiful. The fact that she's made mostly from reclaimed lumber from a decommissioned ship who's name she bears is doubly cool.

[@robertgroves6186]

WOW, beautiful!!!!!

[@davidc6510]

Another great update on the construction of Arabella's tender. A darn beautiful job Bob. I look forward to seeing the future episode when you complete the build. Thanks for sharing!

[@skipbaker529]

I hope Arabella will appreciate your work of art and craftsmanship! Cheers!

[@jasonbroadhurst]

He certainly does make it beautiful!

[@kimber1958]

Outstanding workmanship, bravo

[@Redeye5978]

Bob you mentioned the launch date it's hard to believe after watching all this time that date is almost here, but as Steve said there is so much more to do after launch both Arabella and Victoria are coming together BEAUTIFUL

[@jamesworsham125]

Always in awe!

[@cadalot58]

Thank you so much for letting us come along for the build of this piece of art that you have created. The detailing and care that you have put into this little craft is awesome, I've been blown away by Steve & Leo from Tally Ho and then Steve introduced us to you. I will be watching your back catalogue of videos once Victoria is done, and most likely anything else you build in the future.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks Alan!

[@gardenislandbradda]

I mean come on. That removable sole are absolutely GORGEOUS. Glad you’re building Victoria. The craftsmanship goes great with how ARABELLA is turning out

[@TotalBoat]

She looks beautiful!

[@mcc19606]

I've looked at Dingys before, and I thought it was a Dingy. I didn't think more deeply that it was a work of Art in and of itself. Thank you, Bob, for bringing me back to reality. Mike 🇦🇺

[@jimparsons9454]

This dinghy is truly exceptional! Can't wait to see her at launch day.

[@The_Juan_Percent]

Just in time build!

[@davidross976]

Magnificent workmanship. I feel honored to have watched you build this boat.

[@yexacom]

most interesting video again. And the dinghy is looking fantastic. The big market wants that kind of dinghies and the market is big.

[@MbanziSD]

Great attention to detail - even the slots in the screws are aligned! @ 18:29

[@TR4zest]

Oh, it is beautiful, all right.

[@dennisbeaver5958]

Loved the cedar sole plates. Just had to chuckle at how you lined up all the slots in the screws! This is dinghy turning into another piece of your “art-work”!

[@OwenFromOhio]

A work of Art my friend!!

[@craftendra]

Your work is perfection! 👍🏾

[@2oqp577]

Yet another episode showcasing great craftmanship. Thanks.

[@paulbadger6336]

Well done 👍

[@isaacbrown441]

You do just good quality work. Steve is super lucky to have you helping on his project. Keep up the great job!

[@bigdream5580]

Wonderful and neat work👍👍⭐⭐

[@markmcginn8012]

Beautiful work, Bob.

[@Geekn4sty]

Looks great Bob. I love the use of the latches.

[@GodschildinNC]

Like the way that you made the ses removable. Seeing the folding wood rule in your back pocket, brought back memories of building our house and how many got broken that way!

[@rickestabrook4987]

Making it beautiful, Bob. Great episode.

[@jimmycollishaw2214]

Beautiful craftsmanship... Great addition to a great boat!

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Wow! once again impeccable craftsmanship, and beautiful too. Cant wait for the next episode Bob.

[@northlandrider5396]

Always great to see a boatbuilder with all his fingers and thumbs! Stunning workmanship Bob. 👍👍

[@bandols]

What an awesome tender. also how cool is the removeable sole.

[@BearValleyRanch]

Hand crafted beauty 😮

[@anthonyrondolino8148]

Wonderfully meticulous craftsmanship. Lined up every screwhead…

[@ericbergdahl6971]

Looking good, he is going to really appreciate this boat.

[@mcpa2991]

It certainly is beautiful!

[@CS-bz1tj]

Beautiful craftsmanship. Loving your channel. Thanks for sharing your art with us Bob.

[@evanschwartz3030]

Building those beautiful cedar floor boards reminded me what I personally built and contributed many years ago for a boat almost the same size. As I was working, I kept telling myself patience is an important vertu worth pursuing and you certainly have the patience and skills necessary. Well done Bob! Certainly look forward to seeing Victoria's completion and hopefully sitting on Arabellas cabin roof soon.

[@MCsCreations]

Amazing work, Bob! It's getting even more beautiful! 😃 Looking forward to the seats! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@jrmintz1]

Man, that is gorgeous!

[@TomLeg]

looks great!

[@davidabaxter4424]

Wow. It looks amazing, aleady.

[@Rennrogue]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@chrisfrench8323]

A work of art

[@SirSloop1919]

man, this is coming out greeeeeat!

[@kenmcdonald7793]

Looking very nice!

[@argentum530]

Remember kids, Old Sailors never die - they just get a little dinghy...

[@jamesHadden-l6l]

That is a fantastic looking Dink!

[@avoirdupois1]

I appreciated the practical side of Bob's videos, where he shows how to transfer the curved hull surface onto the matching sole board with station measurements and a batten.

[@russelltate3703]

AMAZING craftsmanship!!! Well done!!!

[@stevenholton438]

Such TLC! How rewarding!

[@mitchmitchell515]

Beautiful class work.

[@garyfairbrother5532]

Watching all the time and care you put into this build, not to mention custom material and fabrications, sadly seems to make a fair cost of the product well beyond the means of most folks for such a high quality jewel of a little boat. Even sadder is probably the proliferation of unappreciative customers in today’s market. Great watch as usual.

[@davidclarke3450]

Thanks again, lovely work

[@ryan_mcme]

Stunning!

[@peterruban2860]

It's looking awesome you do some beautiful work

[@thepigwillfly5869]

Looks great!

[@jamespowerish]

Hi Bob you are a Master in your Craft. I am dying to see how Steve plans to get Victoria up onto the deck of Arabella and upsidedown onto the cabin roof without scratching your beautiful paintwork. Hi from Cork Ireland.

[@TheLoxxxton]

Looks wonderfull and beautiful ❤

[@johnhooge3724]

So good! I'm now going to have to pull up the cedar flooring in my skin on frame canoe, which is just tied to the ash ribs, and fasten them together so I can pull the floors out. All of your videos are instructive and inspirational. What a beautiful boat! Great job, Bob--Steve is going to be so happy to use Victoria.

[@ZeffyZ]

Beautiul work, so satisfying to follow. The latches were clever. Only question is why not cover everything in epoxy, especially the floor boards?

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

I mentioned in the video why not to varnish the sole. Coating it with epoxy is the same result. It will make the sole slippery when wet. The sole or the deck of a wooden boat should never be varnished.

[@ZeffyZ]

@@TheArtofBoatBuildingRight, but how about just some anti-skid? The type that's used on skateboards is relatively cheap, lasts long and very grippy. It even protects the wood from wear. With the sole constantly in wet (even fresh water from the rain), it seems ideal to epoxy each piece (even screw holes) before assembling.

[@ruperthartop7202]

Wonderful work, many thanks for sharing

[@patrickdubois2892]

Très beau travail Merci !

[@citizenone3442]

Very nice work sir.

[@bake162]

From what I see it looks like you clocked all the screws….. nice touch!

[@techristopher8077]

Very Nice Work

[@ko.kurt2024]

Hi Bob, wonderful work, beautiful boat 😊 Just wanted to ask a small detail; if I may ☝🏼 how do you clean the masking area spills? White primer onto varnish!?! Many thanks

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

I use the tip of a single edge razor blade. First score the intersection of the paint and varnish then gently scrape the unwanted paint. Careful sand lightly and touch up with some varnish with an artist brush.

[@ko.kurt2024]

@@TheArtofBoatBuilding Thank you!

[@michaelalexander4331]

I changed my mind. Your way looks best.

[@gcdrummer02]

Great series. I was looking at building a sole for my hobby boat, but i didn't even know the term for it. I found your channel trying to research how to build a wooden mast to replace my broken aluminum one.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

So beautiful! Our dinghy next? Haha sensational effort

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

It would have to be a Gartside design to go with your beautiful boat.

[@danielsondavidf]

Excellent work! I wondered how much the dinghy weighs.

[@dolvaran]

Just one question: How do you bail out the boat with that sole in place? It's going to sit in a lot of fresh water when the boat isn't stowed?

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

That’s one reason for the removable sole!

[@UTank]

@@TheArtofBoatBuilding, so it’s not common (traditional) to create a bilge area with drainage passages and a rear drain plug?

[@JakobEngl]

Great video

[@leoncolyer9420]

If you punch a small flat tip screwdriver into the bottom of the lid channel on the can . The paint will run back into the can when you close the lid 👍👍
