wooden boat building

[@markharris5771]

No big ego, no complicated terms just simple explanations, no massive lists of unfamiliar tools. Just a modest man setting explaining something I would have previously thought to be well beyond my skill sets. He has shown me if I was physically capable I could do this, I think I'll see if my teenage grandsons want to build it with me for their fishing. Cooper has a fantastic role model.

[@Aaron.deRuiter]

Have you seen my DIY sup project mate? kzbin.info/aero/PLAQXLUUtHVUDPyM1_H3GzbqHmXkaMTafn You can build one of these in your garage.

THANK YOU SAM DEVLIN!!! Currently building my 'first' stitch and glue 997cm (almost 10 feet) flat-bottom skiff with wide stern and up-angled narrow dory bow here in Kumamoto, Japan. It will be powered with a 2HP Tohatsu outboard. May put a removable front mast for small sail rig in future. No plans, just using what I learned from watching Sam Devlin's Polliwog video, so inspiring!!! Using 1/2" plywood (not marine grade) but it's already very sturdy (with wood powder and epoxy welds) and looking great. Should be a tank once coated with epoxy and glass. The hull is very light and will have wheels that can be lowered for easy one-man boat launching from my truck bed. Will put storage compartment forward for gear and battery possibly (I'll see how it sits and balance it with load distribution later). Have been working on it for one week and it has been a blast. I want to build another after this one. Sam's larger boats are beautiful and thank you for sharing this feature.

[@mcconicoduka]

By far the most informative video on stich and glue boat building by one of the foremost masters of the technique. I say it could have been longer. I think it goes hand in handwith Sam's book. Thank you.

[@WarthDader74]

I can't describe how much I enjoyed to watch this video! It was educational, inspiring, exciting....and he explained things in an easy way to understand. My respect to this boat building man!

[@macsooner]

i bought the plans for a little bigger boat from Devlin boats . . . had a couple of questions, and even found a mistake in a plan, wrote to Sam and he was SO helpful . . . I can't wait to get started . . . this video is the reason I got involved. thank you sam!!!

[@media5161]

Is the plan help u to designe your own boat designe pleas if u see answer this?from africa Eritrea

[@beyondthis7]

Superb training video!!! ...I finally understand "stitch and glue" boat construction... Well done sir, and thanks for taking the time.

[@carvinlambert6899]

Do you happen to understand how to make the layout formula a bit easier to understand? Thank you

[@malbradford3981]

Thanks Sam. I have wanted to build a boat for myself for many years, but have thought I never had the time or experience. After watching your video on the Poliwog I have been encouraged to build my dream.

[@freezinweasle1]

Thank you sir. My son and I are about to build a boat from plans and your video was very well done and easy to follow. Again, thank you for sharing your love of boat building with us. Mark

[@jaimealbarran6719]

Great explanation and instructions of building a boat, no matter what shape of a boat you build, is an excellent procedure for a good finish , I’m very thankful for your teaching.

[@Freddy_fender]

I've been looking at stitch and glue skiff s and I must say your technique is excellent thanks

[@christianmccollum1028]

I have learned something new today. I have never seen the stitch method used to build a wooden boat. Genius! Thank you, sir.

[@mobynowak]

That was a fantastic video. I have been thinking about building a boat for many years and this video explains a great deal. Thank you.

[@datsunrotten9477]

Sir you are so naturally corny it's precious.. I had to watch the video several times for new shop set up ideas and wood worki planning and execution skills. Nice work !

[@PPMOCRG]

That looks like a great little boat! Thank you for sharing your process with us.

[@johndoe-qo9bf]

WOW this was a very informative video on stitch and glue boat construction. I been watching alot of videos on building plywood boats and none of them are this good. You truly are a master boat builder. I ecspecially like the end of the video when your'e rowing around. That boat move around the lake like a fish in the water. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of boat building with everyone. Keep up the good work.

[@frogsoda]

A most excellent and informative video! I'm sure I will watch it several times before my boat is finished.

[@thiru8254]

Very comprehensive guide on boat building. Very good video!

[@MrJterbush]

Mr. Devlin is a fantastic teacher. Thank you sir!

[@Dagrond]

Man I wish I had a bigger garage. Nice video, fun and educational.

[@lloydholt6511]

Just saw this today and wanted to thank you for your demonstration of boat building. Great job and a beautiful boat!

[@bertlambert3817]

This is THE VIDEO to watch. excellent IN EVERY DETAIL. thank you...the fastening of the wires answered ALL my worries. ..

[@wulkie]

This is one of the first movies i watched before starting to build boats. Great!

[@wa4aos]

I don't know if I would actually build a boat but this has been one of thwe most interesting and informative videos I have seen on youtube, Just EXCELLENT!! Thanks

[@younggunz20]

Still a great video in 2018; simple and informative. Stitch and glue building method seems to be becoming more and more popular. I would love to build one of the Devlin duck boats as well as a Tolman skiff someday!

[@TCF2148]

Thanks, I needed that! I'll be building a boat over the next couple years and I've had some lingering questions that you answered verry well. Though my boat will be built using an inner framework and it'll be powered with an outboard, the process will be surprisingly similar in all other respects. It really helped to see someone doing the proceedures as opposed to just reading about them in a book and looking at pictures. I'm now looking forward to it instead of being aprehensive about it.

[@richardboudville5188]

Thank you Mr Devlin. Well explained and illustrated. You make it look so easy. From Perth, Western Australia.

[@patbarrett9263]

THANKS FOR THE DETAILLED BUILDING INFO.i NEED TO CLEAN OUT MY GARAGE AND GET STARTED.

[@bobbycraigue725]

Outstanding video, this was very helpful, thank you so much!

[@АлександрМожайский-ц2и]

+Walter DerCunningham Swindlers! Have sent garbage, and money have not returned.

[@codgerbrown]

Thank you for creating one of the best boat building if not one of the best DIY videos I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Unlike too many videos on KZbin yours was presented at the right speed, had all of the information required to do the job, and most of all your voice wasn't like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard; some people have terrible voices and don't know it. I'm looking forward to watching all of your videos and hopefully attempting one of your projects.

[@VideoFromToronto]

Excellent video; clear and concise. The use of 3D images from the drawings overlaid on the actual parts makes this very easy to understand. Well done.

[@chuckwebster565]

My hats off to you Sam. By far thee best video I've seen. Thanks.

[@swmiddlemas]

Bought "Guppy" dinghy plans off Sam's website a week ago, and am super excited to get started. I have wanted to build a Devlin boat for quite some time now. Thanks for putting this video up for a little help with the process.

[@Joshleslie871]

Seth Middlemas did it go well?

[@tobyque9399]

4 years after, how is the boat?

[@brentionbojaxhiu931]

very good video. l saw this video a lot of times and now l start making my own boat without plans.Thank you Sam Devlin

[@robertpascoe8620]

Thank you for sharing your skills! Truly beautiful little boat.

[@bizim_eller]

Sam Devlin, master of the stitch and glue boatbuilding, thumbs up:)

[@p3t3rjhackett]

That is one of the best You tube videos I ever seen! Informative without too much talk, easy to follow and excellent graphics. Well done. Now... please, please, please do one for a wooden speed boat.

[@sherrylkeith6549]

Great to see that... I made it too. Using WoodPrix handbooks :)

[@bryangumbley1321]

[@dwetick1]

An uncommon method...stitch & glue, but it looks affordable and does not require any special tools or molds. I'm liking it the more I watch it.

[@onecircle1]

I thought this was going to be a wood boat but a fiberglass layer was put on it. They always say how easy it is, but lets be real. This guy is an expert and like anything, its harder when you try yourself.

[@DukeLaCrosse20]

This is a really well-done video. As simple as this boat is, its still a pretty ambitious project. It just makes me appreciate how much harder it would be to build a larger boat.

[@WoodenBoatGuy]

Great video. I've built several cedar strip kayaks and canoes, but never plywood and never a skiff. This may be my next boat project.

[@mileshamford4886]

This guy is probably a good father to his child.

[@jshenbdjwla1463]

I have a feeling you're right

[@sergeymaksimov1611]

Здравствуйте Сем! Я выражаю Вам слова благодарности за Ваше видео. Вы подсказали мне как воплотить свою мечту в жизнь. Низкий Вам поклон, дай Вам Бог крепкого здоровья!!! С Уважением Сергей Максимов, Россия.

[@jorgesimoncanedosoria6288]

This guy really knows how to take care of details!..amazing vídeo..very usefull

[@sailboat3212]

Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos, un ecxelente trabajo, tanto por su resultado como ppr s sencillez al explicar y ejecutar el bote. Creo que ha dejado un legado a todoa los que hacemos botes, usted podra morir algun dia pero su legado quedara, saludos desde Panamá.

[@juanete69]

This is a really detailled and well explained video. Thanks. It would be also nice to see how you build a boat with old materials.

[@sergedelval5373]

Many thank's Sam for this video .... will come to you very soon when will get free time to start with my boat building project ... Serge from Belgium

[@daedster1]

[@PaulDeCamp]

It's so nice I watched it twice. And I'm not even building a boat.

[@garyallsopp6369]

[@daleskidmore1685]

Thanks for making this vid. It is the best I have seen. I like the fact the tools are so basic, the only thing I don't have is a circular saw, because I don't like them. So straight forward.

[@Cetrero]

Very nice work! Thanks for share. Congrats.

[@mikel9567]

Wasn't aware that he was from my hometown. Lots of memories boating on budd Inlet and out in Boston Harbor. Helped my grandpa restore a wood dinghy when I was a little kid. Might have to look into some of his plans.

[@justinlee9976]

Awesome instructional. Thank you for the time you took to make this video!

[@ernestoalivio294]

[@xabixnaq]

This is an excellent video. Well done.

[@johnw4838]

Great video. I learned a lot. Thanks.

[@chapmaker46]

lofting???? you got to be kidding me.thought that was a lost art..i have been building boats for over 40 years,,have lofted many boats,,from 18 to 55 footers..when i started boat building all boats were wooden and all were ribbed and planked... all keels and stems were hand cut and fitted.good to see someone still has the skills to craft a boat from scratch a nice boat,great vid..

[@basoenetariah8339]

How do one build a boat from scratch without using anyone design template? Are there basic rules?

[@Mohammedkhan-fb6se]

Very good teacher well explained thank you you sir

[@davidkasday5484]

A mini master class on stitch and glue. Thank you!! Please don't ever remove this as I (and I'm sure others) come back to it for a reminder of how it's done.

[@watitnumtee4592]

Well done, very nice boat!! Thank you for your VDO!!!

[@iwan1106]

vidio ini sangat bagus dengan cara membuat perahu sendiri dan saya sangat banyak mendapatkan inpirasi dari vidio ini, terimakasih banyak.

[@silicononsapphire5102]

A well made video and very informative. Keep up the good work mate.

[@jimstools3937]

SAM ,I learned Alot from this video. Thanks for sharing .I want plans fir this boat. or any others.

[@danhaas]

nicely done! I'm gonna build me one of these!

[@Mr4starrguy]

Sam I've always enjoyed your inovative boat building and this video is excelent BTW. White vinegar is the best non toxic way of getting un cured epoxy off your skin

[@christopherhamilton7311]

Nice, neat job. You make it look so simple, and everything fits and goes together first time! But I am not fooled .... if I build a boat by stitch and glue, I can see it will be pretty difficult. But you have shown us all the tricky bits and many of the shortcuts. Thanks.

[@Allan98rocker]

I just watched 42 minutes of how to make a boat.. wow :)

[@FirstIrishKing]

Excellent video! Thanks

[@TuscanchickanSlayer]

Very good looking boat. It looks very simple to build

[@ghazialobaidi2218]

Very good manufacturing ..... big like

Marvellous.Thanks for posting this.

[@FISGAful]

Very informative video! Congrats

[@anthonyphillips7126]

Nice job thanks for some knowledge

[@MegaRMATT]

Very nice video, regards from Brazil...

[@renatinhodagentelsp]

Amazing! greetings from Brazil.

[@FirstFiveFrets]

I am inspired to build this great boat.

[@stevenlarose7325]

I HATE YOU.. :) I became interested in S&G some years ago so I started looking for "FREE" plans on the net. All I could find were the lofting #'s and a bunch of lines with station #'s and at the time I sorta knew some lofting but not enough.. Then I started looking for videos on this and every single one left steps out. Then started reading books.. It took some time and IT CLICKED.. Just to find out all I needed was this video..

[@jerrymarshall2095]

Excellent video

[@glennminnis2201]

Lots of great tips .... thanks for the help

[@charlesxix]

Nice looking little boat. I'm not sure if you would get away with calling it a "Polliwog" here in the UK nowadays.

[@erikewers816]

At least he didn't call it a Fanny Pack!

[@alexander24v15]

"The boat you build will strengthen and reflect your inner spirit"......WELL SAID!
