EXTREME FAST WOODEN BOAT BUILD SKILLS - How To Make a Boat, Amazing TimeLapse!!!

[@Nobaddays279]

Brought back so many good memories. Many years ago, as a team player, I was a woodworker on the sailing yacht, "Dust Em" built in San Diego for Dennis Conners, The Americas Cup Winner. It was 46', all wooden hull. From the lumber truck delivering the raw wood, to what a feeling it was to see it lowered into the water and to go sailing on it in the San Diego Bay. Enjoy your years building Yachts, you will be able to look back on those years with a since of pride. I know I do.

[@mmnnra55]

I Use to watch my grandfather work on rowboats when I was a kid. His full-time job was working at the shipyard for Bethlehem Steel. He didn't use any glass or epoxy it was all wood, putty, and brass screws... With lots of paint..lol 16 and 20 ft row boats were beautiful pieces of art. Building a sailboat like this it's not only a beautiful work of art but a great piece of architecture. You guys are amazing Craftsman. I see the skills in your hands as I did in my grandfather's. Thanks for sharing.

What a great video. Thank you for making this available for our viewing pleasure. Having owned several sailboats I can tell you that this is one of the nicest sailboats I have ever seen. All the pleasures of owning a wood boat with the maintenance of a fiberglass boat. The best of both worlds. An incredible boat that sails like a dream.

[@Sorarse]

What a beautiful boat, and nice to see that craftsmen still exist to produce such craft. Just need to win the lottery now.

[@Sarasdad91]

Love this video. No lies. No deception. Noone trying to sell you something, or trying to talk you out of your hard earned pay, just good old fashioned honest work. But I'd sure like to buy that boat.

[@michaelowen4582]

I love this method, a great way to weld together the best of wood and the best of glass. To see it under sail however showed perfect design on all points. That downwind shot really made my day.

My grandfather was a master boat builder from a time long gone. He built many schooners which we called floaters and I used to marvel at his skill. This video is an integration of old/new technologies and fine craftsmanship. The end result is truly a masterpiece. What I wouldn't give to sail her & explore. Dream on.

[@shaunsanders9673]

It's amazing that this type of work is still being done - beautiful.

[@cageordie]

This is a lovely example of old techniques modernized. Traditionally wooden boats were hard on maintenance. Modern glues and fiberglass allow the same look with much better durability. Was that liquid nails I saw going on there? If I had the money this is the boat I'd buy.

[@deldridg]

Wonderful to see such craftmanship so alive and well. I make furniture and think a set of dovetailed drawers is a lot of work! This is mind blowing. Such a beautiful finished piece and thanks for sharing. Cheers from Aust - Dave PS. I don't think these guys are "Extreme Fast" - they take their time and do the job properly. :-)

[@orbodman]

Absolutely correct. But what makes it even more difficult is the fact that one rarely works with angles that are right angled.

[@deldridg]

@@orbodman That certainly makes things difficult. As I've made built-ins for our house I have concluded that it must have been built before the discovery of the right angle! It certainly does make things much harder. Cheers - Dave

[@gizmogoose.2486]

It slays me to see all that natural wood covered up with fiberglass.

[@cartmanrlsusall]

no the paint is the real crime all that mahogany would still be seen under the fiberglass

[@Finderskeepers.]

That was my 1st reaction too also with the epoxy but on reflection a few counter considerations .A)These guys obviously know what they are doing B) I bet it gets the cost down otherwise I suspect more wood and labour would be required. C) lower cost means more sales which helps keep the tradition alive both for the wood working skills and the boat design. D) There is some comfort in knowing its full beauty can be seen internally.

[@gav2759]

Yes Gizmo, me too. As one who spent his formative years as a traditional boat builder, there is little I recognise here. The main question is, how would one go about repairing such a hull if it were ever breached? Scrappage would be my guess.

[@984francis]

@@gav2759 that's what I was wondering. The hull is obviously hella strong but the elements can put a hole in anything.

[@royormonde3682]

@@gav2759 It's actually easier to fix a breach in this type of hull then it is in a wooden planked hull. There's pro's and con's to both methods. Laminated wood hulls with fiberglass canvas over it, makes for a stronger and lighter hull with the benefits of a easier construction and much easier to maintain. It's not really about competing with wood, after all there's plenty of wood above the waterline and inside where you see it. You got to admit it's a beautiful boat. It's like comparing a log cabin to a framed house, both have there appeal, costs and associated skills with construction.

What a great experience.

[@MrRackinroll]

Guys its a different time and a different era so we build boats differently from then till now. It's still great to see fine craftsmen at work, a suburb job and Kudo's for all involved. sailing is my second greatest love, you can only imagine what is my first. Thanks for the great entertainment. I have lived and worked in one of the great boat building and history of sailing areas in the world. Mystic Ct.in the US of A. The home of the greatest collection of Sailing pictures those of Morris and Stanley Rosenfeld housed in a repository at Mystic Seaport of which I had a hand. An era of great wealth.

A thing of great beauty. Thank God some folks still stay true to the non plastic/carbon boats!

[@Luuxs]

i guess you didnt look at the same video all the wood was glued together with cab-o-sil and epoxy and the hull was rolled with mats of polyester and resin. this build is just a "stick and glue" method of boat building i sure hope these boats aint expensive because it isn't going to last as a real wooden ship

I'm amazed how much of this is done by hand. I figured this stuff would all just be CAD, then let loose lasers, water cutters, CNC machines, etc. and just puzzle fit it together. Instead, hand mortising going on everywhere with chisels, hand fairing the hull with giant sanding blocks, hand carving, and joinery on the hatches, etc. Great stuff, beautiful build. Nice to see. ;-)

[@traktorworks3200]

sorry to say but you dont really understand the when to use and not use CAD, CNC and all the others you suggest. for a one off project like this those tools would greatly add to the cost in time and money.

[@MrJdsenior]

@@traktorworks3200 Good point. I guess I really didn't think about this being a one-off. It wouldn't take too many copies being made, though, to invert that equation, and even for a one-off the hull, etc. would be more accurately shaped, though that probably doesn't matter either, for a boat like this. Not exactly made for the Americas Cup. ;-)

[@traktorworks3200]

@@MrJdsenior to create a 3D model for each item, and remember that for this boat there maybe are thousands of items or parts would take an enormous amount of time and gived the cost of employing a CAD design person your overall cost wouuld be staggering. thats even before you factore in the cost of reverse engineering the data of each part...... just trying to cheer you up 😋😈😁🍓

[@MrJdsenior]

@@traktorworks3200 Yes, but you can take the CAD CAM to any level you want. You wouldn't have to necessarily do everything in CAD, you could do say, just the hull, but since you're obviously not going to give an INCH in this discussion, I'll leave it at that. WAIT, no, no I won't. ;-) There WILL come a day where you will have to do NOTHING but "photo" the part and it will magically appear before you, given some time to print, etc. Not yet, but one day in the not too distant future, as some 3D printing/"scanning" stuff is ALREADY at that level. I know, it's not WOOD, yet. So, hate to burst your bubble , but prepare for it to be BURST, sooner than later. Yeah, yeah, I know, then the machine will be expensive...blah, blah, blah. Oh, and you WON'T need a programmer, AI will be doing it all for you, it can already do MANY tasks BETTER than humans, Chess, driving, Jeopardy, medical diagnosis, ping pong, etc., and will eventually do ALL of them better. I said before, and I'll say it again, there are cheap, quick, solutions for what we called CAD CAM out there, and they are getting cheaper and cheaper. Many (many many) tiny home grown maker labs and even non-professional individual tinkerers own and operate them every day. You would require professional size/capability stuff, obviously, but just sayin'. Not too long and people who absolutely refuse to "come into the present" will go the way of the dinosaur, except for small specialty markets that will cherish hand work, as MANY MANY hand tasks have done already. Not necessarily the best thing all round, but it WILL happen. And you yourself will most likely will be driving (and be driven BY) an electric car if you live another decade or two. Times are a'changin' my man. And my cheer is fine, thank you. Enjoying the repartee, as I did your build video, just trying to nudge you a bit (kicking and screaming, obviously) into the present, where you obviously don't want to be. I'm betting your tune will change, just a bit, sooner or later, as the tech becomes vastly less expensive and vastly more "user friendly". Eventually, though probably not in our lifetimes, there will be atom by atom replicators, star trek style, as they can already do atom by atom positioning in the lab. I'll be watchin', so if you EVER buy any "cheat hardware", hide it. ;-)

[@traktorworks3200]

haha ...now i think your just trying to troll me if your going to go the full tilt, ie us A1, 3D printing then you are COMPLETLY getting away from the botd in your video and the use of CAD to manufacture THIS boat, which as i have said would have been a horrendous task. on the other hand if your going to manafucture a boat that best suits using all the newest geewiz wang-dang fancy pancy technoolgies then yes i agree it wold be a good road to go down. I could make my point another way. If the older boat could have beeb feasibly designed using CAD it probably most likely would have been. It wasnt as that technology, old design and CAD were anything bit a good match. However a boat manufacture from modern synthetic materials is well suited to be implemented using CAD and any of the ancillary tools. AS to "" but since you're obviously not going to give an INCH in this discussion, I'll leave it at that.
