Building the TotalBoat work skiff - Tips for drilling (Episode 36)

[@TheNachotime]

an amateur takes credit for good work. an artists gives the credit to his tools. Lou is an artist.

[@zoltanmagyar1273]

...and just keeps me glued to the screen....over and over...please don't go away Lou for a long time....!

[@terrortorn]

Even if you never come within a mile of a boat this guy's skill and knowledge transfers to so many things you can't help but pick up something useful.

[@jimshirley7613]

My Gosh, I think of the culmination of skills, decades in the honing, and I know I can't possibly live long enough to ever duplicate! You are the Master!

[@svendmusic]

I hope you keep this video series up forever. In about 5-10 years, when I'm finally in a place and equipped, I plan on following this series all over again to build one just like it, or reasonably close. I've truly enjoyed following the progress and can't wait to see it on the water.

[@howielane8406]

Bitter Sweet to actually hear and learn the skiff build is coming to an end very soon. We knew it was coming all along, but still. What a great show about building the skiff. Lou - Thanks for all the good work and the teaching, and to TotalBoat and You Tube for making this series possible. I guess I'll have to train myself to just understand what's next. Also can't wait to see it float and do what it is meant to do. Just hope the soon to be new owner puts videos on You Tube so we can see how it's doing and knows the value of this skiff throughout the ages. I really hope there is another series for another boat and soon. To all the other folks watching and commenting; Your comments and questions just as interesting as the build too. Thanks Again. Beautiful Boat indeed.

[@chris15325]

There needs to be more content like this on you tube! I'm a cabinetmaker and this has made me appreciate woodworking again on a whole new level. Thank you

[@dbs1183]

NO, I do not want this to end. You make my week when I watch your videos. Your love of boat building is a joy to see.

[@obxallen]

That's some fine craftsmanship, you truly are a shipwright..... Anyone would be proud to own such a vessel. Can't wait to see her in the water in all her glory. Thank you for the fine journey.

[@johnnpaull]

This must be one of the best "How to videos" I ever watched.... never before have i watched every episode of a youtube series..... you are a legend sir!!!

[@RealityIsTheNow]

Never get enough of this stuff. Nothing like watching a master craftsman ply his trade. Dudes that *know* stuff. :D

[@gretschclassic]

I've binge watched all these Episodes and can not stop watching. I love these videos. Thank you Lou, you're a Champion.

[@CaptJohnsBar]

You're just like a bucket of water and i'm a sponge, because i'm soaking this stuff up bigtime!....Been building stuff since i was young, but will never get to old to learn the little tips that add ease and quality to a project....Thank you sir!

[@atbglenn]

Lou, I'm not a boat enthusiast kind of guy, but I do appreciate a true craftsman like yourself. I love your videos, and look forward to the next one :)

[@TupperWard]

I look forward to this video every week. Thanks, Louis.

those are things the new owner gets to decide.

[@jonbates501]

Lou: There MUST be another project!!! I agree with everyone else about how super this series has been and how terrific your style of demonstrating is. Please, please, please keep doing these!

[@TheShorebird]

Wow! The obvious years of experience show in your work, but I feel your passion for the work is what makes you such an excellent craftsman. I doubt there are any better, and very few as good. Keep the videos coming. I could watch every day.

[@donwilliams3626]

Thank you Lou. You are a premier professor of the YT University. I enjoy studying under your leadership. I have learned so much even though I have never built a boat.

[@michael-si9xs]

I came across this video one day, and never stopped watching, I went back to the first one, and now I can't get enough of Louis, Louis my man, are a absolute craftsman, never stop doing what you do.

[@Jere616]

Mr Sauzedde, you sound like a college professor teaching a science. Amazing to listen and watch all this series so far even though I am not a boat person.

[@dirk4926]

This has been a fantastic video series and I've enjoyed each step along the way. I'm really looking forward to seeing this boat in the water and I can hardly wait till next week. I've really appreciated you taking the time to explain the process and I'm thankful to Jamestown Distributors for their support, it really speaks well of their company.

[@deantubeful]

She's priceless ! However I hope you get a great wealth to repay your work and kindness for having shared your skills with us all. Lookng forward to lauch day.

[@cakirsarp]

Lou is checking the holes like "How did I do?", where we all already knew that he would be dead center on the line. This is what true craftmanship looks like. Thank you Lou!

[@thameswater2561]

We must remember the Film cameraman and the good work in producing this program thank you and well done, From Brian regards from the UK.

[@kenchuba6024]

Can`t wait to see the boat in action. This whole series has been a pleasure to watch. So many things to learn and a wealth of knowledge for everyone who watched it from start to finish. Hope all goes well and you have another project for us to watch. Thank you for filming and sharing this build.

[@JakeSpeed1000]

Louis. This has been a most amazing series. I have looked forward to the next videos every week like a kid waiting for Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge of boat building. I am a sailor and a woodworking and you have shared tips, tricks and techniques that have help me with simple woodworking projects as well as passing down the treasure of your boat building knowledge. It saddens me to see the series coming to an end but thank you so much for creating and sharing this wonderful series with the world.

[@jhendry12]

I have no desire to ever build a boat, never have. Yet I have watched every one of your videos. Amazing craftsmanship. Genuinely great guy. excellent explanations and top notch video work. I love it ever time a new video comes out. excited to see the finished product and can't wait for what is coming up next.

[@ecc1944]

Louis, in my opinion, your videos are perfectly done! Outside of the fact that your shipwright skills are so great, you may be as gifted in your video narration and presentation as you are in your shipwright skills. Absolutely great woodworking tips. I am so much enjoying this skiff build. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@projekt6_official]

Anyone else have to pause in awe of 1 - the holes coming right out on the line and 2 - the holes being the exact same spacing on each side? Fantastic video yet again, Louis!

[@Stevecollinsclear]

oarsome

[@skookumjack]

Well Lou, I can't get to the show and I sure hope the vessel sells beyond your wildest dream! I ll be so looking forward to the next episode with a smile to see she launched. You sir set the bar high and are without a shadow of a doubt the 'Gold Standard ' to boat building. Thank you for this series and the other vblogs, in the past and those in the future, we await with baited breath.

[@rjtumble]

I swear, Louis, I could listen and watch you building an outhouse and thoroughly enjoy myself, this project has been so much fun to watch. I wish I could be up there on the 22nd. Maybe the next project.

[@marcosa.carneiro9639]

The best.... Very very good!

[@chriscunicelli7070]

Really do love your work Lou, keep teaching. Don't let a trade like that fade away.

[@K7SJA]

I wish I was in the market for a work-boat! Somebody's going to get a REALLY nice one. Can't wait to see her float. Thanks for all your hard work Louis.

[@mathieulamaure1487]

Best woodworking lesson I have ever had! Thanks Lou!

[@dholtman5977]

I like the fact that you take your time and think things through as I've been practicing patience all of my life and still get in a hurry.... Cheers! Looking good and I can't wait to see it on the water.

[@bendover9862]

Your videos are great inspiration, you are a master. I work in the Nevsky shipyard in St Petersburg Russia. We make all big scale, ferries, tankers, freighters, tugs etc. Your videos have inspired me to start my own skiff. Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge.

[@bdcopper]

this has been a great series and enjoyed seeing the progress from week to week. Look forward to seeing the launching and it moving on the water. Thanks for sharing all the tips, tricks and wisdom of a "Total Boat Craftsman"!

[@drewpierce2273]

Boat design is always very visual and developing the "eye" for the look can take years. Clearly Mr.Sauzedde has that skill.

[@thameswater2561]

Thank you lou, always great to watch you working on the Boat. Regards from the UK.

[@juliaocarroll9757]

How can you not love this guy! If I weren't already committed to be in Oklahoma on 4/22, the only other place I would be is Bristol, RI. Lou, thanks for your knowledge, valuable insights, tips, and humor. I love you, man!

[@kencarp57]

TOTALLY ADDICTED to this wonderful video series! You are simply the most enjoyable YT personality E-V-E-R! I've picked up more useful tips from this series than I can even count... probably more than I'll ever be able to even use. Thank you so much! Can't believe 15 people actually thumbs-downed this vid. I'll never understand people and their dark motivations.

[@bchrisl1491]

Thanks! I waited for a long time for this particular technique demonstratrated. I am glad to finally to see it. Also, I stopped and watched a shipwright repairing a deadrise boat is the local boatyard in Reedville Va. He was replacing the floor planking amidships. It was good to already know what he was doing and have an idea about the species of wood he was installing. This came from having watched this series.

[@texflyguy]

What a fantastic series of videos. I salute your craftsmanship as well as your teaching skills. I have no need for a boat but would love to build one like this if I did need one. Thanks...

[@daveh9755]

This is my first comment for the series. I think episode 3 or 4 was when I found it and since then I have looked forward to watching the next episode every week. Thank you very much master Lou. I enjoy it so much I can honestly say that I try to use total boat and Jamestown for all my supplies.

[@180SecondIdeas]

One of the best parts of the week! Coffee and Lou. Keep em coming!

[@ronalddavis]

This old guy EYEBALLED those curves in without a gauge or anything. impressive as hell

[@Victoria_2005]

Thanks so much; I've enjoyed all your videos, but especially these episodes & I hope you get a great price for it, to allow you to bring us some more of your 'start to finish' videos!

[@TitusLivy777]

So many great tips! I learn so much every time I watch your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make and post them. I really appreciate the opportunity to learn from a true master!

[@HardWayLtdWaterville]

Wow! The quarter knees are gorgeous! I would put that in my living room.

[@Dreig69]

It´s a pleasure see you working on the TotalBoat !! .....Wating for the next video ....

[@donfillenworth1721]

You are truly a gifted master craftsman. What a wealth of knowledge! Thanks for sharing.

[@kevincook3799]

I feel like I am coming to the end of a great book. It is satisfying but sad that it's over. I can't wait for the next project. Thank you so much, Lou. :)

[@Ollaris]

I'm not a boat guy, but you made me want to be one! Always enjoining watching!

[@jims7322]

I agree. Me too. It would be awesome to build something like this, but where would I find a bandsaw like that, it's insane. Anyone know what make, model, year, that bandsaw is? Looks like WW2 vintage.

[@hotrodhog2170]

That big bandsaw is one of a kind. He said in a previous video that it is the only one that the whole saw tilts while the table remains flat. I think he said it was made in the mid 1930's

[@NordboDK]

A jigsaw will do

[@RobinCoomans]

This has been such a wonderful series! Both sad and exciting to see end come closer.

[@jamesfreddys]

Wow the final video sounds like it's going to be a great one like all the videos in this series have been. The transom looks like you've squared it away very well. Thanks Lou.

[@trevorpeauk3931]

Thanks for such a fascinating series Louis. Great craftsmanship and tips. Sorry that next week is the last episode, but look forward to seeing her in natural element, and of course to your next series. Greetings from England. Kind regards,Trevor Bill.

[@josephmyers7456]

What a great series! I have had a great amount of fun watching a man who loves his work, explain how and why he is doing things as he is. Thanks a lot!

[@rickholmwood2000]

super excited to see the launch. I get so excited when I see a new vid every week. thank you so much for sharing your life with us! you are very talented

[@burlatsdemontaigne6147]

Those band saws go through oak like it was cheese. Fantastic craftsmanship and a great eye for a line too.

[@MARKBaid]

Lou it has been a pleasure to watch and learn from you. I'm happy and excited to see the boat launch but also sad that the series is coming to an end. Hopefully a new project is at hand. Take care my friend and do a kindness. Mark

[@tukinfoods5111]

Love the hair cut, so much better. Thanks for the great series!

[@dannorris1406]

Thanks as always Louis. Some serious skill on display today. Great tip on the drilling using a guide like that. Man I'm upset it's coming to an end but at the same time can't wait to see it in the water!

[@kizombaflyingkizombie7335]

Lovely, lovely, lovely! I just can't get enough of this series!

[@MichaelKallelisOn2Wheels]

Every week I watch your episodes. Lots of fun. It's spring, so I'm prepping my own boat and even though she's fiberglass, it's nice to be in a boat yard again messing around boats. Always something to do. Unfortunately, I can't make the 22nd but enjoy !

[@stephenmaaz5035]

Fridays can't come soon enough!! Stopped by to take a peek, Jonathan brought me over, sorry I didn't get to see Lou, but I'll be there on the 22nd! Looks great! Looking forward to seeing the complete project.

[@robertmcgurk7587]

I'm looking forward to the show, this has been a real pleasure to experience and can't wait for your next project. You have created a Total Boat junkie

[@emrenergiz]

You're the best. Great pleasure to watch this series.

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Yup, drilling can easily ruin your work. I got so I hate drilling and am very careful when I do. Best series I have seen and hope you will do it again. I feel like I know you, and now, how your going to do it. Thanks, Lee

[@MrChrisKnowlton]

Great job Lou and a great video as always. I hate that this wonderful build is coming to an end but I look forward to the next one! Thank you for all of the great tips and tricks.

[@TheMainlinehobo]

Louis this has been my all-time favorite build video series. Incredibly informative and just fantastic tips and suggestions! I've got a shed full of fir here from the northwest that will follow these instructions this coming summer. Thanks so much from a long time ardent fan here the wooden boat capital of the world, Port Townsend! All the best!

[@tonyswatermaker3158]

Thank you Lou. Your videos are adicting (in a nice way). I have enjoyed each one. I do hope you would start another project. Be good, Tony

[@HandgripsRaise]

Fantastic stuff, your channel is so good. I have really enjoyed this series, and look forward to seeing the skiff in the water as well as what you will build next. Thanks for your passion and teaching style, you are an amazing craftsman!

[@raytheron]

That's a thing of such beauty you have created there, Lou! I am deeply saddened by the fact that I am not likely ever to meet you, and just as sad to hear that next week's will be the last episode. I really hope you have another project in mind to share with us.

[@michaelflynn6178]

What a great series I look forward to see it in the water i'm sure there will be a lot of people interested in buying the boat

[@perryperrys4553]

Thank you Louis great to watch your work and a pleasure to watch this series Thanks for sharing your knowledge . look forward to your new videos. Greetings from Greece Perry

[@SirScapa]

[@timburton7448]

Phenomenal series; learned something every week. But ebay? Really, it belongs in a museum!

[@xsbxsbxsb]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are a master craftsman and a teacher!

[@jukeman57]

Almost finished. Can say enough about how I've enjoyed watching the skiff build. Hope you start another project soon. Thank you.

[@dkranda]

I look forward to these videos every week! I hope we're able to see another build series after this one. Thanks for what you do 🙂

[@raymondhodge3979]

Best series on KZbin, looking forward to the completion and start of a new build. Thank you Lou

[@AA41975]

I can't get enough of these videos. Truly amazing work!

[@artisticbrit]

Brilliant. I've loved watching this series. I have built my own 1 man miniature craft of my own design. In July I drive right across the U.S. towing her behind me, meeting my subscribers along the way. I would absolutely love to bring the boat up to you, to kick off the trip. Might that be possible? Keep on keeping on my friend. Thank you for all the inspiration.

[@stevehaines6857]

Excellent job. You are a true craftsman.I just wish I had seen some of your tips before I built my sailboat....

[@NumbNutz12000]

I want to thank you for making these awesome videos Lou. I've learned so much, and you've given me so much inspiration. I look forward to your videos every week!

[@Beaver-1]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us Louis. Always look forward to your new videos. Greetings from Australia!

[@toolmike100]

Excellent tips on drilling! That can be applied to so many things. Great video

[@sabemajeen]

it's great to see your boat coming to a finish. Thanks!

[@MrMalarix]

boy it just looks awsome, when I saw the blue masking tape under the gonole it looked even better, the grain of the wood with the white paint and a thin blue line separating the two, just a personal preference. anyway what beautiful master piece

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

The transom is certainly stout and should hold about any size motor you would want to hang on it. You did a really nice job on the craft. I hope the new owner really respects all the craftmanship you put into her.

[@ecrusch]

If I catch the lottery before this boat goes off at auction, I am going to bid whatever it takes to win it. Just letting you all know... haha Lou, your are something else. If I EVER commission a boat build, you will be the guy my friend. Thanks Eric central Florida

[@mayormoonshine]

Wonderful!. Love boats!...love woodworking!.....love these videos!. Keep up the good work!.

[@markpalmer5311]

"How'd I do?" I'd say damn good! Thanks Lou and Halsey. This has been great. Would be great to be in Bristol next weekend, but I guess the video will suffice. They always have!

[@garymccoy2888]

Agree, the best series on a You Tube.

[@chris_1337]

Great video as always, you're awesome Lou! So much work and passion and fun went into this boat, the owner will be very lucky!

[@OnTheReelFishing]

Great job as usual. Sad that this series is almost over, but I look forward to seeing it in action next week. Also can't wait for the next project!

[@chevy6299]

Been a great series Lou but can't wait for the next project.

[@dsmith3239]

Once again, fantastic video of a great project boat. Can't wait to see it in the water. Too bad I am unable to get to the show. I would really enjoy being able to meet you and see the boat first hand.

[@normanreid2944]

Very nice Lou, thank you for video.
