Things went great until... To Build a Wooden Boat: Chapter Two

[@poepflater]

I've built tonnes of old boats from plans in Sketchup... it is the closest thing you could get to building a couple of boats and comparing them to each other on one page. Still building up the courage to do the real thing.

[@realmattdean]

It can be a daunting process. But rewarding.

[@fletcherlesueur]

Fingers cross the new episode comes out soon! I'm loving these short films well done!

[@realmattdean]

Thank you! WE are hoping to get back to completing episode 3 soon. It's been a crazy year!!

[@craftendra]

keep on! Looking forward to next episode 😊

[@osks]

Brilliant production! Well done!

[@realmattdean]

So kind of you!

[@goosecoveboatbuild5466]

Can't wait for the next video. I'm always looking for boat build videos to watch, especially during the Winter when it's too cold to work in my unheated shed, and I think I found a winner here.👍

[@realmattdean]

Thank you! So glad you are enjoying it. I hope to have Episode 3 released soon. You should come join us where it's warm and help us work on the boat!

[@mcvinda]

Looking forward to number 3 ❤

[@realmattdean]

Thank you! I was finally able to get back to working on this series. The new episode is coming soon!

[@barmaley1982]

When will the next chapter be released? Was the melted pot the final blow to the project?

[@realmattdean]

I have been trying to get back to it but a number of things got in the way. I’m finally back editing and will start releasing again in the coming weeks. Thank you for watching! - Matt

[@jmarsuperstar74]

Nice work, Matt Dean!!

[@NovaScotiaSailor]

Wow! This is awesome! When is chapter 3 being released?

[@realmattdean]

So glad you like it! We had to take a brief break but hope to have new episodes up by the end of next weekend (Oct 9th/10th ish)

[@mainer1755]

What happened? Was the boat ever finished? Is there any more footage about these guys?

[@realmattdean]

I am working on getting more of these videos out. The boat was put on hold for a moment as we got caught up in helping LAMI finish repairs and maintenance on their other boats. I am hoping I can get new episodes out in a few weeks.

[@gatesgoza9703]

Draw Dogs, when you get back to Chapter 3, I will have some draw dogs made!

[@realmattdean]

Yes - that's it! Wonderful. We took a slight pause to work on the new travel series but I'm hoping to get back to chapter 3 soon.

[@randyjohr5276]

looks fair

[@vyleart4488]

Great videos! Subscribed!

[@realmattdean]

Thank you! Very kind of you!

[@gatesgoza9703]

I got to go back to the chapter 1 and get the name correct if home made vice, Saw Dog?

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

Oh the things that can go wrong. At least you didn’t have any wood split.

[@realmattdean]

It worked on the test, but wait until you see Chapter Three where we steam the rest. There may be a few ribs that don't make it!

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

@@realmattdean If you are steaming nearly all 44, yeah odds aren't in your favor. I snapped or splintered like 4 in a row near the end and I'd gone for like 35 with no problems. I started thinking I wasn't steaming enough, or too much and then afraid I was going to run out of oak. good grief. Looking back I think it was because I had to use some kiln dried for the last few and it just didn't go as well as my 'greener' stock and, I wasn't paying as much attention to grain run out but when the sticks are 50 inches long and only 1 inch thick, what can you do. looking forward to your series!!

[@realmattdean]

@@JenkinsBoatWorks I've been learning a lot from the team here and you're right about the details of steaming. Green and air dried vs kiln dried - grain run out - all things I had no idea about before. On ours - We had trouble with the sharpest bend near the transom which made things real interesting.

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

@@realmattdean ha yeah me too and that was when i was done to kiln dried lol

[@bradleydaniels9639]

Need some chill pills guy

[@realmattdean]

It's all in good fun.

[@alfonseca9284]

a bit dramatic

[@realmattdean]

hahaha - yes. We upped the drama a little - however - it did feel pretty dramatic at the time and I'm betting there was a little drama at home when the wife found out the spaghetti pot needed replaced.🤣
