Building ORCA - Episode 1: Searching for our lumber

[@scottmcintosh2988]

I was named after a 36 and a half foot wooden Cape Island yaut built by David Stevens Lunienburg, NS. There is a big difference in the PEI boats today midsection different great mileage ! Love this chanel I have 4 great grandfather's that built the Cape Island boats wooden ones are the best Dave went to Expo 1967 Montreal by the Canadian boat builders built an 80 footer sailboat all copper nails ! Thank you Lewis

[@larry78cj7]

The amount of knowledge this man has on boat building is unbelievable. The fact he is sharing it is absolutely awesome. Thanks to everyone that makes these videos possible.

[@ian3404]

Absolutely love watching this guy talk about lumber

[@Oxnate]

Considering the cost now days, might as well build it out of gold. :-)

[@ichigokurosaki6813]

To be fair, in his hands, it’s so much more than lumber. I think you’ll agree.

[@moobcars6490]

Look at that Volvo 245 in the background!!

[@marvinkanhai3808]

Louis is the best boat builder in the wooden industry he gives very detailed introduction on the designs in all marine wooden boats and lumber.

[@scottmcintosh2988]

Have you seen the PEI Prince Edward Island boat ? It is like a Cape Island boat with a bottom modification to get the bow up out of the water more less resistance ???

[@scottmcintosh2988]

The new Glass Cape Island boats are 45 footers with a 5 foot overhang to hold more lobster traps and at least 22 feet wide .

[@Will_DiGiorgio]

Coming from Maryland, when I hear "down east" boat, I immediately think of a Chesapeake Bay deadrise... Beautiful lines, beautiful boats.

[@littleshopofsawdust1157]

Search KZbin for Billy Moore. He has a wonderful video on his deadrise build

[@TermiteUSA]

@@littleshopofsawdust1157 Yes, a lot more shallow draft deadrises on the bay but Lou and Billy were cut from the same forrest if not from the same log.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Those are some great glassing tips. Orca is going to be an exciting build. Thanks Lou!

A truly knowledgeable craftsmen, joyful to watch - Bob Ross of the boat world

[@devyncampbell3210]

I owned a 1966 38 foot Clark’s Harbor cape islander. I fished her two years out of Boothbay Harbor ME. Most of the boats in that period were built to last about 10 years. She was 55 when I sold her. Those boats were also spruce gooses. Some of the boats built farther up the coast were built of hackmatack. Very excited to see one built with higher quality materials! Beautiful boats and more seakindly than the newer wider ones. I have a wealth of photographs of her in various states of repair and with the deck up and the inside of the hull exposed. I would be glad to share them if it could be any help.

If you're going to quote Jaws at least do it right. It's you're gona need a bigger boat

[@davidsabatino8407]

Definitely an art to build a wood boat, one of the oldest profession's/trade's in the world slowly being lost by new and cheaper materials for lighter and stronger vessels, really makes me appreciate a person like you lou, knowledge you have I hope is not lost and your apprentice's or helpers look, listen, learn and take on-board all you teach, all the way from Australia mate we appreciate the videos keep up the good work.

[@trythinking6676]

Check out samson boat builders here on youtube for traditional wood boat rebuilding. Great channel.

[@Edwardmodos]

And the government legislating away the boat building craft in the form of the luxury tax, no yachts are built in America anymore without undue cost. It's disgusting this stands.

[@clydecessna737]

For me the setting up of the build is the hardest part to understand. Mr Sauzedde is terrific.

[@alanmorris8783]

“Making Orca” should be a TV documentary or movie. I’m so excited about this.we even have our own Quint 😬

[@gatekeeper84]

It should be written out and broadcasted per telegraph! What are you on mate?

[@TermiteUSA]

No if TV gets they will immediately dumb-down Lou's technical expertise so that some incidental viewer wont feel sad because don't speak nautical fluently.

[@christophercastor6666]

The knowledge I gained in the last 25 minutes earned by your years of hard work, mistakes made, and lessons learned. Thank you for generously handing over a lifetime of experience in your videos. I may never build my own boat, but I will certainly utilize the information for other woodwork and I will have something to talk about on my next flounder trip. Thank you

[@thomasarussellsr]

Whether he is describing what is coming up in future videos, explaining why he does certain things certain ways, why certain logs sections of slow or fast growth wood is better for one task or another... Or if he is actually showing us the work being done... Lou is always teaching us how to do something in a way we might not have ever thought about, or reminding us of things we have not thought about for a long time. Thanks for all you do to help us improve our crafts and make us better crafts-persons, Lou. We hope you stick around for a long long time showing us new and different ways to aproach our projects and think about how to tackle the tasks at hand.

[@108hindu]

You mentioned how in N.S. they would change their designs from time to time. My father built wooden power boats back in the tp’s-60’s. He designed his own hulls. After they were built he would take them out for a test. Then on the next one he would change the shape of the hull if he thought it was needed. I remember one test he was really throwing the boat around. He was quite impressed with the stability of that one. All those old builders learned as they went along and we’re always looking for improvements or optimizing a boat for it’s expected use. Your videos bring back a lot of memories. Thanks

@@captaintoyota3171 No. He is not the one that planned on calling it Orca 3. That was another guy. He had people donating money and his project has stalled (at least for now), and he sold the boat that was supposed to be used. The one I am referring to is ORCA REBUILD. This guy has a Lobster Yacht that is much more accurate for the transition. He has been acquiring screen accurate parts for the rebuild for years. He's been planning and working on this for many years. Once he acquired a good boat for the rebuild, he started the process with the boat and each piece that will go on it. Currently, he has stopped work to take care of a very ill family member. Of course, we understand that family comes first. Check out his channel here on KZbin. He also has FB, IG, and an Etsy store. This is a project of love for him, as he has loved the film since he was very young. He has accepted no financial help from anyone and has no plans to. It will take longer for him, also, since he is doing most all of the work alone and on his off time. But, I've seen the boat and many of the pieces in person. It's going to be AWESOME when he's finished!

Goofy, old, absent-minded professor kind of guy who went fishing in the middle of the night, was half drunk by lunch and asleep by tea time. He tried to see the sunrise two or more miles out on the lake if at all possible from April to September. That was his only goal in life, other than eating a few walleye and drinking some Scotch.

[@jerrycomo2736]

Automotive restorers use a laser based tool to scan the car and that then digitizes the shape into a set of plans. Ford, in designing the new Bronco, scanned the old Bronco in order to get ratios, shapes, etc. Would that work here?

[@WeaponsMachinist]

Maybe use a plumb bob,tent stakes,and a tape measure like he hinted on doing. You just establish plumb station points to establish one half of the ship.

[@ot0m0t0]

Sure it would. But... for preservation purposes. Its probably expensive as heck.

[@tednottodd]

Lou needs a folding ruler, pencil and paper. The beauty of watching a true craftsman like Lou, is that he is doing all the work your computer is doing in his head and from experience. Yes, there would be easier ways, but you wouldn’t get to watch how it was done centuries before computers were built. In addition, he isn’t recreating this boat, he is using it for reference to create a different boat with slightly different shape

Took me a moment, but I eventually worked out that a "Novi" is so called because it's a Nova Scotian design?

dear leo, just thinking after you apply the fiber glass on the boat body, the boat shape looks very nice, why don't you make a mold of the boat - i mean after you finish it- for the body & Deck, and start production?

Because of the warlock was a wooden boat originally.and made into a glass boat for the moive. fiberglass Novi's are a completely different design. Another question to ask is this was the Warlock a built down Keel or was it a deadwood keel . That completely changes the shape of the Keel and the bottom of the boat

Do you know of any shipwrights in or near Michigan? I have a Neria 38' fiberglass hull, OK it's kind of a Neria, but I would like it rebuilt. The deck was removed and it needs a lot of work, but would be a beautiful boat once done.

Bring on some volunteers, they'll learn - and the rest of us will learn along side them!
