Wooden Boat Building, Installing the Coaming Part 1, S2-E45

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

🤯🤯🤯 Bob, you have just COMPLETELY blown my mind!! You make the most of impossible tasks just seem so straight forward. You sir, are a daygum genius!! What a defining detail using Walnut for the Coaming!! I hope you won awards for building this fine sailing vessel. medal 🎖 🥇

[@heathcliffearnshaw1403]

Such clear language . A real teacher.

[@richardsiddon610]

Loving the contrast between the walnut and the paint.

[@TrapShooter68]

What always impresses me more than your extreme attention to detail is your calm, purposeful demeanor. This series is very relaxing. AND we get to watch you build a very beautiful boat! Can hardly wait to see it on the water. Thanks!

[@wesleywillard]

Great work man. That scarf jig is fantastic!

[@willmorrison1022]

Isn't it, though? I was amazed by that one, going to have to make one for myself. I hate doing those by hand.

[@garyfroeschner2523]

For what it's worth, I've always enjoyed your music choices.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks Gary!

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Those coamings are going to attract a lot of attention at the marinas. Beautiful wood selection Bob. Thank you for sharing this weeks episode.

[@johnlinehan9053]

The walnut against the white is awesome.

[@markpalmer5311]

Excellent! Looking forward to Part 2!

[@eggfooyung7172]

I’m not even a carpenter but your videos are so interesting to see how you do everything. The boat looks so good 👍🏻

[@drop_dtuned6167]

Happy Saturday fulfilled with a another fantastic video from Bob. Great content and music.

[@charles.neuman18]

I really like that coming jig up front where the two sides meet. I was wondering what that cardboard was for, until I saw you cut the ends of the coming pieces. Clever!

[@rainbowchild63]

Hello,Bob! Awesome as always!Thank you! Greetings from Ukraine!

[@nordyfamily]

Great job Bob, Keep up the hard work.

[@markzieg3593]

Aaagh! A cliffhanger.... Loved the mighty B3 Hammond organ bringing it home when the scarf joints were being made into one. I wasn’t 100% on walnut with this beautiful boat. The sole is so dark. Now that I got to see it on the coamings, I’m sold. It just looks so great. The contrast to the light colored paint on the boat, and depth of grain once you get up close. So nice.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks Mark! I'm very happy the way it's all shaping up. Thanks for watching. Cheers,

[@rt88glow]

Looks great, Bob; she's coming along nicely.

[@vigleikjessen2373]

As usual you make a very nice job out of it!

[@robmarykunzig5533]

Thank you for taking us along on your build - the candy is arriving - very nice R

[@rick91443]

......boy, was I disappointed when the video suddenly ended. Can't wait for next week! cheers...rr Normandy, France

[@MCsCreations]

Really fantastic work, Bob! The boat is getting even more beautiful! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@skotbldr3068]

Thanks for the wonderful tip with regards to your linseed, mineral spirits and varnish mixture. Your boat looks great!

[@cristrigotti9933]

Wow, nicely done. That walnut is going to look spectacular.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks 👍

[@thomasvelure6237]

Beautiful looking results as always Bob, keep up the high level as inspiration to all the future boat builders.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Many thanks!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Beautiful work there Bob, that coaming is going to look great. Learned a few tricks watching this video, Thank you for sharing with us.

[@TotalBoat]

Impressive work! It looking BEAUTIFUL!!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@neneidea]

great job.I love it

[@oakleyjack7600]

Excellent work Bob !!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Many thanks!

[@darkhorsegarage9623]

I am really enjoying your videos. I learn so many little tips like sealing the bag with a torch. Also I can relate to this size boat. I would never want anything over 14 foot . And this boat is what I would call my dream boat.

[@Santos-oc2no]

amazing videos and work. you looks like a precise violin maker in boat buiding. cogratulations

[@jerryjohns7358]

You have incredible skills and a knack for sharing and teaching. Do you have an apprentice or relative you can train?

[@thomasarussellsr]

As always, nice work, and great explaination on method and methodology.

[@jaakkotoiviainen9757]

Again a great instructional video! Many thanks!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Glad you liked it!

[@captainc7123]

As always a joy to watch

[@davewill5226]

The more I watch your videos the more I appreciate your work she's becoming a real beautiful boat, by the way how do you fancy building a tender for Arabella to save those guys some work.

[@garyfroeschner2523]

Beautiful work & beautiful boat.

[@fonhollohan2908]

You look like old pro now Bob at steaming and gluing up those scarf joints! your kinda making us all look bad. lol Great Job as usual bud. That coaming should look fantastic when its finished.

[@voodoochild1954]

Great craftsmanship! And a great video to boot!

[@jimjenkins673]

Perfection as always.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Wow, thank you!

[@passinthru4328]

The Art indeed!

[@aluminium83510]

Hello from France specific, calm, perfect Cordialement bruno

[@setikites]

A functional enhancement to your coaming would allow you to "lock" the tiller hard over outside the coaming for heaving-to. That is what I use the scalloped aft end for.

[@wvonfricken]

Your scarfing jig is neatly made, and I love that you have a router dedicated to it. I should do that, I have to swap mine in every time I use it...

[@glennp5872]

Good video and the boat is Looking fantastic

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks Glen

[@ateliedemaquetes.aereoenav4894]

Bravo!

[@jimb6208]

Brilliant!

[@John-mz8rj]

Good design choice. Great workshop, think I would live upstairs if it were mine ha.

[@quacetri76]

Amazing job 👍

[@willmorrison1022]

I REALLY Like that scarfing joint jig. I can do them by hand, but what a waste of time if this gives such good results so much faster. I'm going to remember that one, and build myself one. Thanks for that tip alone! NICE work on the boat. You definitely have more patience than I do. You're making a boat. I may come up with a boat shaped object. Musical instruments are SO much less work.

[@nickyork8901]

Great series, thanks. I use walnut, which of course looks stunning and is beautiful to work with, often for furniture - but never thought of using it for external applications let alone marine uses. Can you comment please on its durability, once suitably finished, compared with other choices of timber such as teak, cedar, oak etc? Thanks a lot.

[@lroffog9015]

Just started watching the series and was wondering if you are using hearing protection with the planer and saws and kneepads when kneeling on the concrete floor. Aside from that, looks really good.

[@scottgorman7166]

Yes my knees were hurting watching Bob kneel on the concrete!

[@glencrandall7051]

Love the wood working. Don't care for the music.

[@CorwynGC]

Steaming wood is one of those 'optimal' things rather than a 'more is better'. Steaming too long will make the wood brittle.

[@scottgorman7166]

Bob have you ever thought about wiggle wood?

[@michaelc.3812]

Can you assist Steve over at Acorn to Arabella in building his ship to shore boat?

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

He already has. Look for the video. Bob worked on the Breasthook.

[@112Haribo]

@@dwaynekoblitz6032 Michael C. means helping them again, this time with the little dinghie. A2A are going to build a small boat to go on top of their big boat because the big boat can not come close enough to the shore if you wanna land on a beach...

[@tbn28]

You may find that the scallop in the coaming is cut to avoid fouling the main sheet when you are running downwind. I am not entirely sure how the Haven is rigged, but the Herreshoff 12 1/2's are typically rigged with a self tending traveler across the transom. When the main is sheeted out sailing downwind, the block on the traveler will be sitting right next to that scallop, with the sheet led across the coaming. This is especially true with gaff rigged vessels where the boom is proportionally longer than a bermuda rig.

[@JeffreyDRein]

It's not a boat Coaming it's chocolate frosting on a cup cake!

[@marshallalwin6062]

It might be that the scarfing jig is not as wide as it looks, but it appears you could have routed two boards at the same time to insure the proper angle of the scarf. Am I wrong?

[@krockpotbroccoli65]

Hey Bob, what kind of bulk epoxy do you use?

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

TotalBoat

[@johnfriend240]

Never liked the coaming on our International 110 when hiking out on tacks. Ours were shallower than these. Ouch!

[@cpt.mirones5109]

how long does the clue last on the scarf-joint in general?

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Not sure what you're asking. The cured epoxy will live forever as long as it's protected from UV light. Marine varnish with UV protection will elevate that concern. The shelf life of uncured epoxy is about 3 years.

[@LewisSkeeter]

Great video as usual. But please - no music. it's not necessary.

[@stevensickler7797]

I like Bob’s choice of music.

[@davemartin2810]

25 + 65 = 180?? ;-)

[@patricktraichal9287]

Diagram around the 3:10 mark.

[@davemartin2810]

@@patricktraichal9287 Thanks for making my point. His diagram is incorrect. Look at his "25 degree angle"- its obtuse. Should be 115 degrees. But no matter. I was just poking fun, not trying to be a troll.

[@patricktraichal9287]

@@davemartin2810 I agree - not trolling. I think he was working toward a right angle (rather than straight line) with his 25 degree notation.

[@keithbrowning3899]

You take as much time and trouble making the jig and template as most people do making the actual finished piece.
