[@Rsama60]

Bob puts a video out, I drop everything to watch it.

[@drop_dtuned6167]

Yes, me too!

[@davidc6510]

Cool tools and a very stylish foundry suite! You need to make a leather tie to go with it for laughs and giggles. Looking good Bob. Great work, video, music, editing, and most of all thanks for sharing!

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

Hi Bob, can't wait for the next episode!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Me too! Cheers

[@drop_dtuned6167]

One more closer to the big melt!😀

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Thank you Bob for the visit to Norway and another nice tool making video. Looking forward to seeing the pattern making of the parts and the casting. Take care and best wishes for a great upcoming week.

[@pcahill10]

With the right hat, you could look like Santa himself! Another great video, Bob, I'm looking forward to some casting.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

You an me both! Pat

[@keithbrowning3899]

Your drawings and sketches are as beautiful as your finished objects. Looks like enough material for a book in there somewhere.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks Keith, Indeed I think your right there is enough for a book. Literally too many irons in the fire to think about one. However, definitely a project for the future. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Bob

[@michaelc.3812]

My favorite KZbin channel by far, and I get such a great lift when I see a new episode!!!!

[@michaelc.3812]

Bob, I’m incredibly impressed with your attention to detail with everything. Thanks you for all that you do.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

So nice of you, Thanks

[@petterandersson7429]

Ha.....missed you for morning coffee. Looking forward to the model making. Cheers.

[@anthonyelyas2040]

I would kill for that vise table!!!

[@johna1160]

Thanks for evoking fond memories of the great Norm Abrams. Think I still have a number of episodes of NYWS I recorded on the VCR way back when. Now that I think about it, your polished skill at conveying what you're doing and why, calm demeanor and high standards of craftsmanship rival Norm's.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks John, If I can even come close to Norm's standards I'm happy. Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@davidmspinelli8951]

Yeah, like Roland Sawicki said. Sir, you rock! Be safe and stay healthy!

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Bob! And really great protection!!! Looking forward to the next video! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks, you too!

[@mickfisch96]

Hi Bob. Thanks for the very informative video. I really enjoy your shows.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching. Cheers

[@scottgorman7166]

Boy your sculptures in Norway are fantastic, the larger of the 2 looks like a Spinnaker and the large framed section looks like a section of a ships framing. Between the fine Spinnaker lines and the large portion of framing the balance of the sculpture is just amazing. I noticed on one of the videos you produced there is a similar motion and balance of I think sails in motion. I believe its on the property where your workshop is located. The spherical piece I can't seem to put a feel to it but if it had a wind vane inside that would be something. Since I have sailed and spent 40+ years on and in the oceans Im seeing something but cannot put a finger on it. Nicely done Bob!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thank you Scott!

[@BurtKwouk77]

I have been watching your videos of late, especially your Haven 12 1/2 build which has kept me glued to my screen. I would love to know where you got the plans from if possible, a friend and I would like to build one. We are based in the UK but I'm sure we could get them posted to us. Thank you.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Hi Burt, I'm so happy you are enjoying the video's on building the Haven 12 1/2. Here is a link to where you can purchase plans. www.woodenboatstore.com/collections/joel-white-boat-plans/products/16-haven-12-1-2-class?variant=16904448573530 This summer I started a Boat Building Course online, Boat Building Bootcamp. If you're thinking of building a Haven I think you might enjoy this course. I use the Haven as a teaching example in many of the lessons. You can schedule a one on one call with me at this link. calendly.com/artofboatbuilding/boat-building We can talk about your boat building goals and see if your a good fit for the class. Cheers, Bob

[@BurtKwouk77]

@@TheArtofBoatBuilding thank you very much. I have a neurological disorder so this will be a long term project that friends and I can enjoy. Keep up the good work.

[@Psychobilly]

Hopefully all is well Bob.

[@dougs6460]

I always learn something on your videos. Thank you!

[@robertbamford8266]

Getting there!

[@andyZ3500s]

Looking forward to the pattern making videos.

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

I'd put the "spats?" Under the apron. I wouldn't want molten metal going behind them. I was hoping you were going to cast the ramming tool. Patiently waiting to watch you cast bronze.

[@BWTIII]

Oh yea, I agree.... As an old rancher I found it better to wear the chaps over my boots; This will funnel the liquid away from you and back toward nature.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Hey Bob, should the chaps not overlap the lower leg/boot protection? Any thing rolling down your leg should shed off, not into your next layer down.

[@sailingarista]

Thanks 😊

[@garyfroeschner2523]

good stuff

[@petterandersson7429]

Missed you for coffee.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Me too! New video this weekend.

[@steveschwartz6138]

Bob. Did you make the artwork at the Con Edison building in Harlem, NY? I saw it as I was traveling by boat around Manhattan and thought it looked like art I saw in one of your earlier videos. I enjoy your videos.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Hi Steve, No not my work. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Bob

[@roydaley3413]

Regal looking safety gear, fit for a King lol

[@Haywanus]

Great!!!

[@Psychobilly]

Too bad ya couldn’t have gotten Victoria’s wheel and used it to cast your parts. Steve has put great use to Victoria’s bones and this would have been one more great way to ensure Victoria lives on. Nice sculptures in Norway too BTW.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Hi Blair, Steve (aka Acorn to Arabella) and I have discussed casting bronze for Arabella. So as you can imagine if there is any bronze that would be considered scrap it will be used for her. To be honest when I was there last I had the opportunity to see Victoria's bronze fittings. Most all of it can be resourced as is. What Steve does have is a good amount of scrap from welding the bronze floors. So, fantastic idea and stay turned. I thinks some bronze casting for Arabella is in the future! Happy you enjoyed the Norway bit. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Bob

[@Psychobilly]

@@TheArtofBoatBuilding Yeah Bob, you’re definitely interesting to watch. You’re an absolute artist and your details show. I figured that Steve would use all her fittings, I just figured due the the fact that he has a bigger motor, I’m sure Victoria’s wheel would not be the wheel on Arabella. I travel the globe a lot, and currently rotating in and outta Turkey. If I ever make it to Norway, I’m definitely going to see your pieces there. B

Where did you buy your flask at ?

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Hi Anthony, I bought the crucible at PMC Supplies Here is a link: pmcsupplies.com/casting-supplies/crucibles/graphite-foundry-crucibles Thanks for watching! Cheers, Bob

[@expatconn7242]

@@TheArtofBoatBuilding thank you . Happy holidays

[@acraftman2823]

You know that purple heart would have made a great tamper er rammer :) I think the pine will get chewed up maybe custom metal caps? I will go sit down now and be quiet.

[@dennisyoung4631]

Rammers want a hard(er) dense wood, as a certain heft reduces fatigue when you’re “pounding sand.” I’m inclined toward a cast one, myself, and hope to make a split pattern for them.

[@anntrautwein1430]

Hmmm one would think the chaps would go out side of spats so hot metal couldn't flow inside the spatts

[@dennisyoung4631]

That riddle/sieve looks a bit too fine. I’ve used 8 mesh, and think 12 mesh is good, also.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

You’re right it is to fine

[@brett8090]

Wow, Danish teak sealer is a putrid color. Great video
