Amazing painstaking shipbuilding. Everyone dedicated to perfecting the end result. Impressive!!

[@LucasRichardStephens]

Thanks for watching and your kind words

[@mrsjenniferstephens]

The ship is really looking like a boat now , brilliant.

[@LucasRichardStephens]

Thanks for watching Mum!

[@richardarney3954]

It's a lot of hard work that it takes to pull off such a feat as building this boat. It's a reminder of how hard it was to live in a time long ago.

LUCAS!!!!!! I want to know what is being said... it's something good for SURE. Your a patient teacher when i understand what you say in english. hope all is well with you on the far side of our little blue globe.

[@LucasRichardStephens]

Hi A.! I made a subtitle track for this film, just click the button. Not every sentence is translated because I couldn't make out some of the comments, but the jist is there. Hope all is well in sunny Vegas. [LATER] Ops I thought this was the new film, part 5. There are no subs for this one, I will have a look at doing some (no promises)

[@bjoernandersen8287]

Great video, build more Viking ships and get back that old tradition (without the rape and pillage).

[@LucasRichardStephens]

Thanks Bjørn, will do!

[@yrrosimyarin]

Why is it that out of all that work, cold hammering the rivets looks the most miserable part?

[@LucasRichardStephens]

It is not that bad

[@awldune]

Some English annotations might be helpful in a couple of places. 16:16 is there a bullet in the tree? What is he prying at? Is the huge tree you split being used for the main planks of the hull? What is the smaller tree you are ripping with the chainsaw for?

[@LucasRichardStephens]

Hi awldune, and seasons greetings! I may do some captions for the chat.... the prying was just a bit of bark removal, we haven't found much metal in the oak so far. The huge tree will supply many of the hull planks and the long one I am splitting is to make the meginhufr (the uppermost of the bottom planking strakes, located at the level of the cross beams. It is thicker than the other bottom planks and takes the shap of an inverted s in cross-section. The Vikings called this plank the meginhufr ("strong plank").

@@LucasRichardStephens Thanks :)

[@charlesdavis9937]

On the History channel series Vikings, there is no way Floki could have built a large ship on his own.

[@LucasRichardStephens]

I really don't think very much of that series is historically accurate. Our ship is also limited in it's authenticity, their is little one can do when a tradition disappears, we just can't know the actual processes that would have been employed. Having said that, we are continuing and strengthening a new tradition of boat building, and the products of this tradition are being refined by practical seaworthiness at every step, rediscovering and presenting understanding of refinements that the actual archaeological finds display.

[@SteifWood]

Must have been the strong viking women who built the ships ....

[@LucasRichardStephens]

;)

[@ravenhhca]

Not going to run out and get a battery-powered chainsaw just yet.

[@ravenhhca]

I don't care what Gretta says

[@ravenhhca]

BTW......it's just the flu

[@LucasRichardStephens]

@@ravenhhca It was the noise issue, as soon as the large group had gone home, out with the motor saw. Though the battery saw is good in it's own way. I have a very small 12v makita saw that get a fair bit of use. Happy Easter ravenhhca!

[@awldune]

Battery saws are great if you seldom use a chainsaw and just need to clean up some storm damage occasionally. No worrying about whether your gas is too old, or draining the carb when you put it away, etc. I do some maintenance of hiking trails, and it is nice to put the battery in a backpack and carry the much-lighter saw. They are also very quiet and you don't need to worry about waking the neighbors early in the morning, etc.

[@ravenhhca]

@@awldune ....Point taken...thanks
