I thought it was a toilet from the thumbnail. I dub the boat, Latrine!

Hey buddy just ran across your videos in my feed. Is this mostly your forte or is your channel a mixture of stuff. I follow so many builders and the skiff build is my jam so to speak. Like the content construction and epoxy build. Can I expect more content in the future or is this playlist a one off?

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

Hey bud - the playlist was kind of a one off for boat building. I do have some other DIY stuff where I built an outdoor kitchen and custom desk for my office makeover. It’s kind of an all around lifestyle channel.

Water soaking and steaming helps with bending wood

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

Yes but once you seal the wood with epoxy the moisture stays in the wood and eventually rots from the inside out. If this were normal furniture not sealed that method would work because the wood can “breathe”

[@mtnmover7794]

@@LightningCapitalLiving of course dehydration after bending would be necessary

how do think they did all the wooden ships before the industrial revolution with 1/4 of the tools we have now! bending wood with steam! 😊

How do you seal the top inside of the livewell? It look like you just put the wodened lip against it?

[@LightningCapitalLiving]

I painted the wood with epoxy to seal it, then I put 5200 around the rim before putting the wood on top
