You can see why apprenticeships are 5 years long when you watch the level of skill and knowledge displayed in these videos. Then a lifetime of working is spent refining those skills to the point we see here. Fantastic!

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

It’s so inspiring to see a master craftsman at work, particularly on a wooden boat. This gentleman is likely one of a handful of artisans in the United States capable of this highly skilled work.

[@haroldschultz5864]

I'm by no means a boat builder but I am however a traditional jointer by hobby . The rounded bottom "Coffin " plane with radius iron is magical . I am making one my next project now as I could think of at least a dozen other uses for this . I love watching this guy . #hooked

[@Gottenhimfella]

This video shows the awesome power of retaining the timeless subset of traditional wisdom and adapting it with a completely open and inventive mind. This is a fantastic example of what once made America truly great.

[@donaldhummer5294]

I've been a carpenter for 42 years and I love learning from Louis!! It's amazing what transfers from boat building to house building, I too have an old porter cable trim worm drive, love it, one of the most useful saws there is.

[@johnrogan9420]

Yes the old porter worm trimmer saw trick...should have known...Maxwell Smart.

[@stephensmith799]

Skill, ingenuity and sheer perseverance. Hats off.

[@markyp1135]

Fantastic to see this actually done in a video. As they say a picture IS worth a thousand words.

[@brootusx]

i have absolutely no interest in boats however i could watch these videos all day! Great narration and a very skillful craftsman.

[@thewatchman6074]

You make it look simple, but there's years of skill, technique, experience, and craftsmanship behind it.

[@Fishstycz]

A practical and direct approach to a subject that has so many variables. Thank you for sharing your craft with us mere mortals.

[@Marvin_Maverick]

I allready love this channel: quote: … I used a metric measuretape because it divides in the 10-system… splendid!

[@dollarking9641]

Inch tape lol. It's mm these days

[@scotland2256]

THANK YOU !!!!😇😇😇😇 YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE !!!😀😀😀

[@johnsmall9729]

Louis, sir, thank you so much for the tip (around 2:20) about laying the side of the plane on the bench to ensure 90 degrees on the top of the plank. So simple, so excellent!!

[@paulmurphy612]

I'm very happy I found your videos. You get bonus points for your accent. I'm a Californian, but my folks were from Rhode Island. It brings back fond memories.

[@DundoMarinko]

This bring memories as my father did seam thing as kids we help but when we did put to mach pressure on planks bending on fire or let get smoki than we ran for life ha ha . I am looking in to all the different speciality plane to collect them and still wishing to build similar boat soon. Thank you is not many old timers who know this art of boat build and fix,God bless you and keep teaching as long as you can. In my family in Dubrovnik Croatia still is going on and second oldest Ship yard is in World 18 ml from my house there.In Korčula birth place of Marko Polo . part of my house is coll Šangaj similar to Shanghai. All the best to you from Chicago,I wish I do that with you,

[@rjp985]

Tips,i love these tutorials.I was a boat builder once upon a time but using steel and aluminum.These techniques are useful for many other things making for faster,ease of construction,and more durable end product.Your videos should be mandatory in vocational technical carpentry schools and you would naturally be the professor.By the way my father's neighbor would pass for your identical twin.

I agree - so many of us know framing carpentry, but very few of us know how to look at a beautiful stack of hardwood, know which boards are most appropriate for which applications, how the grain moves, I could go on and on. I'm no slouch, but I'm still a birch plywood, red oak/poplar from HD type of guy. If you gave me a nice supply of white oak or mahogany, I'd probably stare at it for a month before I had the courage to tear into it and try anything :) This is truly high level craftsmanship at work.

[@badgoy8439]

Very interesting to see these practical tricks for getting a perfect fit. I imagine that boat and shipbuilders in the past used the same techniques

[@Digitalsnapp]

I really admire your skill and the way you explain what you are doing. Thank you.

great video, really enjoy your techniques, I've worked on a ton of wooden & glass boats, Ive never stop learning. I've used so many little tricks I've picked up watching your videos. Thank You for sharing. Vinny

[@willt8041]

One of the first shipwrights I worked with showed me the curved coffin plane technique. He made one right in front of me! Great video. I’m sure I’ll come back and reference it soon.

[@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos]

Very cool Will!

[@ktrak2171]

Skills you can really admire, from a time when work was satisfying and challenging. I take my hat of to you Tips from a shipwright.

[@billsmart2532]

Excellent craftsmanship!!! After so many labor hours, that's a very expensive boat for it's usefulness. 2 centuries ago not so much.

[@77gravity]

This is a lovely method, very clean, very simple. The bevel planing is very clever.

An old shipwright's saying: "The only straight line on a ship [boat] is the 'North Line' on the compass card."

[@markenna5955]

Wow, what an idea, If I keep watching your videos I'll be able to build any boat. Thank You.

[@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos]

Keep it up Mark, you will!

[@supurbian]

thank you for teaching me something new.AGAIN!!

[@kenlyneham4105]

For a very brief moment there, I thought he was going to say, "The reason I use a metric tape is because it's the sensible thing to do, and so simple to understand". But no, he stated the obvious, it works on units of tens. I DO like his work though, very therapeutic and he has a great, easily understood way of explaining what he's doing and going to do.

[@superchargerone]

lol. sometimes, obvious statements are made so as to make it easy for people who are dense to understand the obvious.

[@newdogatplay]

u are a mSter at ur craft kind sir for sure and u have a knack for teaching and explaining wat u are doing and why u are doing it ,if the world had more people like u it would be a much mor brighter and beautiful place to live in ,thank u for ur videos ,i hope u dont stop making them love the skiff u built i wish i had the talent u have ,or even a 3rd of it ,if i could id work for you for the experiance and education alone ,

Amazing craftsmanship. It is wonderful to watch you performing this soon to be lost art. I owned two wooden sailboats. A 26' sloop while I was in Coco Solo, Panama and an all wood 5.5 meter US46 when I was in Pensacola, Florida.

Nice job with the plank and by using the metric system....a lot easier! I think I have may have met you many years ago when I was looking for material for my Alden designed Indian. Dennis

[@andvil01]

All those small trix and details. What a great way to pass this on to future generations of boat builders. If I had more than two thumbs to put up, you would get them.

Wonderful video, thank you for the thorough demonstration.

[@cullendarling5647]

pretty much just one comment.......Wow, you sir are a true craftsman.

[@michaelteeple8704]

If most people knew very much about building wooden boats im afraid alot of projects wouldnt even get started. Being ignorant of what im getting myself into has helped me start more than a few projects.

[@Captainwonderlad]

It's like using the previous plank as a shooting board. I like!

[@SighthoundstudioTV]

I have been wondering for a long time how to cut a progressive bevel on planks...ever since I saw Mr. Sauzedde's technique using his band saw and a circular saw. I own neither equipment, but I own some hand planes. This video is very helpful for guys like me who don't own a lot of power tools but want to build a boat some day. PS scraping the residue with a chisel at [2.23] made me cringe! But a chisel does not have quite the same utility and reverence in a boat builder's shop as it does in a woodworker's shop. So I understand why a chisel is used.

[@mebcool]

Amazing... Great video and great instructions. You sir, are a great teacher.

[@johnryan2193]

Great idea for planking !

[@nigelkavanagh2048]

Fantastic work sir.

Am I ever likely to be planking a boat?... NO! Did I find your video interesting, entertaining, and useful?... HELL YEAH! Thanks very much for a clear well-paced video. :o)

[@M3rVsT4H]

Fantastic to watch, thanks for sharing.

[@chriscoralAloha]

I made a jig for my circular saw so I could cut a straight line. Well almost straight. This old dude pulls out an ancient beat up ol saw and free hands scribed curve absolutely perfect. Ya I suck.

[@taoisttiger4702]

Thus the term "skill saw" hahaha

[@stevenholton438]

He's not an 'old dude'! Try to to use your peabrain to imagine how you would appreciate that comment when you are his age!

[@chriscoralAloha]

Would not bother me. Nothing you can do about getting old. I'm getting there myself. Only the lucky make it. This old dude made it and has a lifetime of skills to show for it.

[@PDZ1122]

I'm glad there are still people who have the money to afford to have work like this done! I can't imagine how much all this work costs on this little boat. Countless man-hours.

[@zachsheffee8458]

Of course there’s still people with money!

Brilliant way of planking!

[@daveclemmer4536]

Great tips!

[@Belg1970]

Lou, absolutely love the videos. Am trying to follow your explanation about using the metric tape to divide the hull into 7 even boards. My hesitation comes from the fact that the lines on the interior have to be smaller since the two measurements have to be different, do you just measure it twice inside and outside??

[@peterferderigos4615]

This guy is the Master Carpenter 😀

[@ottifantiwaalkes9289]

Good reason to use more but narrower planks. That way the curved hull is not that much of a problem. Same with not loosing plank thickness due to planing the inside.

[@paulandresen459]

Very informative! glad I found your channel!

[@hulsfamcalcan]

Fantastic!!!

[@gonedeepseafishing]

Great technique!! Thanks for sharing!

[@jamesrivis620]

Sure knows what he's doing !!!

[@buynsell365]

This is a AMAZING video. I learned a LOT!! You make this look easy....but I know it is not. Thanks

[@txkflier]

Measuring distance in the metric system really is much easier. There are no fractions and fewer decimal points are required. If we would just switch and stop converting from one system to the other, things would be so much better..

[@Gottenhimfella]

I wonder whether, instead of hollowing the planks to match the frames, it would be easier to facet the outboard faces of the frames once the lining out had been accomplished. In other words, instead of being a curve, the outer profile of each frame would be a succession of straight lines of equal length. I suppose you could use a belt sander, or clamp a short batten either side of the frame and use a router. You would need to take care to retain the angle at which the plank wraps around the frame, relative to the fore and aft centerline.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Wow, I just learned a ton!!! Thanks...

[@sergeybord6970]
