Lou -I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I am 72 yrs old a carpenter , engineer and builder for many years. Every pice of knowledge u give is from a professional with obvious years of experience. I am building “Joel White’s” “Catspaw” Everything I have read regarding steam bent frames states annular rings fore and aft I have (3) out of (24) that are oriented so. All (3) have checked noticeably, the rest are fine Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. The Engineer side of me actually agreed with the books on boatbuiding Now l know the the “real deal” Thanks Lou!!

Nice to listen to someone who not only knows how to do something but how to do it properly and why it's the proper way and what happens if you dont do it the proper way

[@chrismills8164]

I love the way you present your stuff, Louis. Not just the commentary, which is beautifully spoken and FULL of content, but the obvious love in the detail and attention to care.

[@queenofyeay]

Very cool stuff, I have watched hundreds of ship building & wood working vids and you are the only one that seems to truly understand the wood you work with. Of all the wood workers and ship builders I've read or watched you are the only one that even talks about medullary rays. Not saying that they aren't aware, just that the info isn't being passed on... although I'm not 100% sure the were aware!

[@80dale]

Been craftsman since 64 and always been passionate, humble , curious and reverent toward the craft , had some amazing teachers but this guy is definitely the best Of the Best. Priceless

[@goodsteel53]

You have no idea how happy my heart is to see a new series from Jamestown and Lou!!! Great video editing and no inappropriate music!

[@fmagalhaes1521]

Louis. Many thanks for your content. I am learning so much. Kindest regards

[@hathathathathathats]

Thanks for posting - your videos are succinct, informative, and a joy to watch. Looking forward to more!

[@TOMPDUDE]

I don't care about boats at all but I love hearing this master speak about his craft. Amazing.

[@justintaylor375]

Had to look up medullary rays, and I've taken college botany! One of the most knowledgeable people out there.

[@pkav8tor]

Excellent Louse, glad your back showing work on this boat. regards ...greg

[@billmccaffrey1977]

Fantastic explanation of wood grain and how to use it to your benefit.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

I love your explanations, They are to the point and well described...One again thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@normanboyes4983]

absolutely brilliant - just keep talking and make the videos about 20 mins - I love this stuff.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Outstanding explanation and demonstration... Thankyou for sharing... 😃👍

[@itsjojo4]

I love your videos! Amazing work you do! thanks.

[@738polarbear]

Shipwrights are very skilled woodworkers arent they?Why would people vote this advice down .This man obviously knows what he is doing.?

[@pamelacoleman1048]

Very educational would never of thought of this thanks for the tip pleasure watching

[@four_sisters_sailing2271]

Awsome tip. About to start work on a 46 hinckley 21.

[@edhorsegolfer4784]

That was a good teaching that will help me down the road in a couple years.

[@belfordlancaster6818]

Facinating.

[@thisandthatwithchris1984]

Thanks for the great video! Your very talented!

[@guyvangenechten6484]

Very interesting!!!👌👍💯

[@jasonbourgeois9764]

I like your explanation of wood grain legendary raise and the absorption of water. when you did the bent laminated stem on the Herreshoff 12 1/2 which way do you run the medullary rays in each 1/4"? or is1/8"? lamination or does it matter.? As you say, there must be a right and wrong way to do that too. You are my new Guru. Thank You

[@yvindhansen4776]

Hi. Love your videos,they`r very educational. I wounder if you could teach me how to find bad wood,and the different techniques to find exatly wich boards that should be replaced?

[@michaelseibert634]

Louis - really enjoyed this video, and am trying to figure out how the grain should be aligned on a tiller I am making. I figure that the load is from the side on a tiller, and am thinking that I should orient the grain as if I was building a frame laying down on its side? Could you help?

[@scottcates]

This makes a lot of sense.

[@jaydubbyuh2292]

Now that's useful knowledge.

[@daredevilskydiver]

This is great sir, perhaps one day I could work under you!

[@passmeby9398]

Fantastic. A master at work. Makes you wonder who the moron is that marked thumbs down. He/she/it seems to be traveling the boat channels recently. I guess it doesn't like people who know what they are doing and are willing to share. Please keep sharing Mr. Sauzedde!

[@jamesk8198]

Thank you.

[@juliantaverner4627]

Firstly, Louis you really are a master craftsman & teacher. But could you please clarify; when the annual rings should be atwarthship is this only needed for wood that is being steam bent, or should it always be done? this would likely mean for some framing that's not square we'd be using flat sawn lumber. Cheers

[@wkinne1]

Hi, I am trying to restore a Herrshoff Neria. Will you be doing a video on deck framing and deck laying on this boat? If yes, do you have any idea when? Thank you

[@MNDood-y4w]

Louis, I love seeing your techniques and tricks. do you have any other social media platforms to follow what you do, on?

[@bennyvrads]

I am very big fan of Louis, as I am keeping and sailing a 1932 45m2 double ender, constructed by Georg Berg and built in Denmark. Now I am having troubles finding the video where he shows how he measures and replace floor timber. Could anyone please help me finding that video, that would make me real happy. :-)

[@johngoodell2775]

but if you are say installing sawn frames - wouldnt you want the bottom frame members to be flat grained lumber - or in other words - the grain is standing vertically when installed? this would provide the most strength for compression forces?

[@Black_Kakari]

This dude is so smart

[@Bootbouwert]

Hi Louis, Do I hear you say that in a steambend frame the annual rings should be atwarthship? That means NOT flat sawn? I was tought that the frames should be sawn flat- and not quarter sawn in order steam bend better. I do enjoy your videos very much and use them with my students boatbuilding but here I am confused about what you just tell .... Best regards Bert van Baar bootbouwschool.nl

[@sawman1957]

+Bert van Baar ...Hi Bert I agree, hope it's just an honest mistake, or I've been doing it wrong!!!! maybe just a blip in the description???

[@TheOldKid]

If I ever get a vacation I would like to come work with you for a week or two

[@uberDoward]

The only downside to quarter sawing your wood - you get so much less out of a given tree. But if you want it done right, you can't take shortcuts!

[@makhoe1]

wow

[@Josef_R]

Three minutes that will double your cost. Or it triple?

[@scottcarter2914]

so i cant make a boat from pallet wood ?

[@thameswater2561]

well you can if you want, takes a bit of work..:)

[@11bayrat]

I would love to understand what your teaching but it's all over my head.any way simple terms for a simpleton ?

[@Ho1yhe11]

bruce don basically it is all quartersawn wood which means the wood grain that is easier to see is pointing to the face of the plank directly not at an angle to an edge

[@oregoncouger]

There are mininamal right ways and infininate weong ways b

[@johncritch6812]

Man I hope you've written some books or have your knowledge chronicled in some way.
