Starting The Setup Of A Modern Wooden Runabout | Building Temptress Ep20

[@Chris97302]

I learn so many hints of woodworking by watching your videos. I am NOT a woodworker, let alone a boat builder, but I learn tips to help me with my own small projects as I enjoy watching you do your large project. Thank you for sharing!

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

That's really great to hear!

[@dukaynz]

Hi Dan show us every little step , great viewing nothing is tedious when it's this level of carpentry. Your New Zealand viewers.

[@robinhodgkinson]

Nice work Dan. That strongback looks rock solid. Like building a house - get the foundations right first.

[@stevebrown4947]

Your precision is amazing, I have new appreciation for what it takes to build this boat!

[@bkormoski1]

Wahoo looking like a boat !!!

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

It's getting there!

[@fatp0ssum]

Loving this project and can’t wait to see the end result. Just one question spring to mind, and I’m sure you’ve thought about it, but will you be able to get the boat through the workshop door?

[@timpickering253]

Great to see a few more subscribers Dan. You really deserve it!

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

Yes, it's nice to see the videos getting a bit more traction as well. It all helps!

[@Jpboatbuilding]

Már több éve figyelem a munkáidat, és mondhatom szerencsések azok az emberek akik tőled tanulhatnak. Nagyon jók a videóid és igen sokat lehet belőlük tanulni. Alig várom mindig az új bejelentkezéseid. Csak így tovább, nagyon kedvelünk itt Téged Magyarországon. :))

[@alfredvink]

OMG, didn’t get a real sense of the size of this thing until you had to rearrange half of your workshop to get the strongback laid out. What a great build!

[@stephenwhite4257]

Your the best example of a phrase I heard a long time ago. "You can't have to many clamps!"

[@til7545]

Masterclass!

[@lionelfournier]

That is a great step forward into the build ! Best wishes to you and your family for 2025

[@kenwanless4533]

It’s so fun to see it taking shape. Feels like a real milestone in the build.

[@tomcoryell]

Impressive precision Dan!

[@stagecoach66]

Looking forward to seeing how you get that out of the workshop... those double doors look like a tight fit!

[@em7ee230]

I was wondering that too? I’m sure there’s a plan, Gibbs always managed out a basement

[@edwardfitzpatrick1206]

Absolutely awesome awesome

[@mans048]

@29:28 when the stem slid into place the gap just disapperred. Awesome work

[@tylerdurden2644]

Loving this build.

[@kenlloyd3078]

This whole episode reminded me so much of where I was with my own project just over a year ago. I too went for the right angled legs, made of formply, for exactly the same reason. But your project is much more massive - that's going to be a huge powerboat! Getting millimetre accuracy in that setup is next level.

[@atmm89]

Happy new year Dan, all the very best to you

[@davidgreen3723]

Am I the only one who cant get his head round a boat builder being in the Cotswolds? That legendary centre of boat building that built the fleet that beat off the Spanish Armada … 😂 Awesome series, and I am thoroughly enjoying it - please keep it coming.

[@primem1]

Let’s celebrate being able to see THE boat builder!!

[@tomcoryell]

If a viewer is from the USA, most of us don’t know the Cotswolds from Newcastle Upon Tyne! The reality is that the canal system there will take you nearly anywhere compared to what we have.

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

I'm certainly a land locked boat builder, there aren't many others in the area 😆

[@frederickrodger7249]

Great video!

[@johnd5805]

Awesome. Nice to have modern technology. Love the build table with all of the positioning holes.

[@johnh1192]

I love these videos. Thank you.

[@fultonfinewoodworks]

Really enjoying watching the progress and process of the Temptress build! I am building my first boat right now with my Son and although I have a full size CNC, I thought it would be good to do all the frames the conventional way for my first build. I will for sure cut my components and frames on my next larger build. The ideas you have shown have been very helpful with planning for that.

[@markpalmer5311]

Really enjoying watching your build with your son

[@fultonfinewoodworks]

@ Thanks! It has been so much fun every step of the way!

[@markpalmer5311]

The precision and stability of the strongback and the positioning legs with the added “beef” add so much confidence. Like others have said, spend your time on the foundations! Sharing a little experience from my relatively pedestrian first boat build; I laid down 1/8 hardboard on the floor of my garage to make a 16’X8’ pad upon which I built my 12’ skiff. It really helped even out the rough floor finish and also catch all the epoxy and paint drips.

[@StuffIMade]

love it

[@n1352-m1i]

Impressive step and nice progress... Would it make sense to lay a large piece of sacrificial particle wood at the bottom to glue the jig on once straightened and squared, depending on the quality of the floor? keep it up ! thank you for sharing

[@johno1142]

Beautiful work!!! Have one question: why do you not pre-finish the bulkheads before installing them on the jig?

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

They aren’t installed yet. I’ll do a trial dry fit of everything first and then pre finish before final installation.

[@primem1]

Brilliant to see the build taking on boat shape Dan!!!🎉

[@seanoharmaigh]

Dan, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Your floor is way off but it's very easy to compensate and level the frame it is not a mile-long boat.

[@carlnewton1126]

Have you thought of using plastic kitchen unit legs which are adjustable and cheap to level the strong back?

[@TMihelich]

Dan, will you be updating the Temptress plans adding the strong back details to allow dxf cnc cutting of the tenons and the pins used in them? That would be a great help.

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

Yes, I've got a package of all the latest additional files available. If you want to drop me an email I can send them over to you 👍

[@TheHemicudav10]

Finally building… 😅 🎉🎉🎉

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

🙌

[@CongRaoDepVlog]

Tuyệt vời ❤

[@kimcater]

Maybe you will get to it, but how will you get it out,? So turn around the posts in the workshop, just thinking ahead

[@williammcrae3177]

Please consider adding more overhead lighting especially near the front of your shop.

[@fultonfinewoodworks]

@@williammcrae3177 I find it harder to work in super bright environments, softer light allows me to easily see indentations and irregularities and matches the type of lighting that will be at the home the furniture will be installed in.

[@DanLeeBoatbuilding]

Lighting is usually fine in the shop due to two big windows at the end. However, I was still shooting some of this video at 7pm last night which is why it seems darker than usual.

[@scottcates]

Temptress will cut through the waves with surgical precision.

[@86OEd]

👍👍👍

[@JanvanderFlier]

Your precision level puts Boeing to shame.
