Visiting the Blue Dolphin - 1962 Beals Brothers Lobster boat restoration
In this Episode we take a short trip to check out the ongoing restoration of the 1962 Beals Brothers lobster boat The Blue Dolphin. This classic 45 foot wooden boat has lived in Newport, RI her entire life and is now getting a full overhaul, including plastic framing, a new keel, new planks and much more to get her back on the waters of Narraganset Bay. Follow Lou and co-owner Ian as they take us through some of the work done so far as well as show us some of what lies ahead.

Building ORCA - Episode 12: The Transom
zhlédnutí 56KPřed 2 měsíci
It's a new day in the Opendoor Boatshop and we're finally building the transom for ORCA. We first need to lift the lines off our drawing and then transfer them onto our loft floor in full size. Then using a little trick we're going to hammer some nail heads along those lines to copy them onto a cardboard pattern. Simply by pressing the cardboard down on the nails heads we can see the marks on t...
Building ORCA - Episode 11: Completing the Centerline
zhlédnutí 104KPřed rokem
This week we're getting out and installing our Horn Timber, the last piece on ORCA's centerline. We first need to cut the timber down to size with a chainsaw so we can get it up on to our shipsaw. The horn timber will run from the top of the stern post all the way to the transom of the boat. We then need to create another mortise and tenon to connect the two pieces, only this time the tenon in ...
Building ORCA - Episode 10: Installing the Stern Post
zhlédnutí 614KPřed rokem
It's time for us to install the stern post for ORCA! This is an important piece as it will have the propeller shaft going through it and it connects the keel to the horn timber above it, which runs all the way back to the transom of the boat. In this episode we're going to show you a little trick to help us mortise our timber into the keel with a chainsaw. Using two wooden guides and some socke...

Building ORCA - Episode 8: Connecting the forefoot to the stem - deep drilling
zhlédnutí 66KPřed rokem
Moving forward on ORCA we've almost completed assembling our center-line and this week we're making the final connection between the forefoot and the stem. This joint will be made in a new and improved way that will work to hold the pieces together while also not allowing for any twist. We are ultimately going to be using all bronze fastenings in ORCA because they hold up best and don't disturb...
Building ORCA - Episode 7: Drilling the center line for bolting
zhlédnutí 68KPřed rokem
The week we're going to drill and connect our entire keel and forefoot together. Drilling can be tricky so we need to take our time to get set up properly. I'm using a barefoot ship auger because it can drill without wandering or pulling and also start off and stay nice and straight. The pieces are going to be temporarily fastened with ready-red or all-thread rod until we are finished with rabb...
Building the V-Bottom Skiff - Episode 41: Sea trials
zhlédnutí 94KPřed rokem
We've all been anxious for this moment, sea trials on our 23' V-Bottom Skiff! It's been 10 years in the making and to finally get it finished and in the water is a real achievement for us. We're not going to waste any time getting the boat up to speed and boy is it a thrill to drive. As soon as I get up on plane you could feel the weight of the boat, it rode smoothly even in light chop and stay...
Building ORCA - Episode 6: Connecting the keel to the forefoot
zhlédnutí 50KPřed rokem
We're moving right along with the centerline of ORCA and we're also happy to announce that we have picked up the V-Bottom skiff and will be putting her in the water this week for a test run so stay tuned for that! This week on ORCA, we need to back-up the scarf between our keel and forefoot. To do this we're going to fashion a piece that will span the two other timbers and then be fastened with...
Building ORCA - Episode 5: Assembling the center-line
zhlédnutí 67KPřed rokem
This week on ORCA we're assembling our center-line, composed of the keel, forefoot and stem. All this lumber is quarter sawn 6"x6" white oak, so it's incredibly strong and that's what we want for these pieces, especially below the waterline. Today we need to connect and create the scarf joint between the front of the keel and forefoot. We're going to have to plunge cut with our skill saw which ...
Building ORCA - Episode 4: Drawing ORCA and the search for all items on deck!

It’s full-steam ahead on ORCA!! This week we’re in the drawing room with Lou as he shows us how he’s designing the keel and centerline based on his knowledge of Novi boats which ORCA originally was along with research, study and scaling of many ORCA photos and information. There’s many ways to get involved in the project, we just added a huge list to our website www.tipsfromashipwright.com of a...

The V-Bottom Skiff is going out the door! In this episode we put on our final coat of TotalBoat Wet Edge topside paint and also a final coat of Spartan Red bottom paint. This has been an amazing build and it's been so fun to share it with all of you. The boat is headed to the outboard motor shop to have the engine mounted on the transom and then we'll get her back, oil the interior and put her ...

We've got our V-Bottom Skiff all varnished up with TotalBoat Lust and she's looking absolutely fantastic. The next step for us is to cut down the transom to make it the right height to install our outboard motor. This is a very tricky cut and can really only be done in one way with a tough plunge cut using our circular saw. Check it out!! Also, don't forget to come visit us at the 2022 Newport ...

Whether it’s an old boat, old car or an old building I always like to see people give them a second life.
So happy to see you again. 🎉
Wonderful videos I Can't Tell you how much I appreciate watching and learning. But $$$. For Me I'll Just Get Hurricane yatch From FL. Inboard w/ Chevy. You Are Quite the Master Craftsman.
This man is an inspiration.
Came across this UTV about Orca. czcams.com/video/JIp7KewyeJw/video.htmlsi=bWH0oq7gJLIXk8wX Maybe it helps. Hope to see you back on it soon.
Excellent! Thank you!
How do you know what size file to use?
You confused me. Chainsaw was upside down. So teeth pointed to rear.
Wonderful. Old school. What a joy to stumble on this. Thanks!
Bravo sir. Straight forward, detailed instruction - exactly what I was looking for and so rarely find!
such a nice job, was years aho..hope you are still fine...
what was it usually, mix it 30 sexonds loke crazy, then take a deep breath and relax, and then stirr it up another 30 seconds🤣🤣🤣 i did this for 4 seasons and then gave up...our climate outside was too wet,,,kkkkk
I have only built plywood and fiberglass boats in the past, but I'm willing to give this metod a try anytime soon. Crazy to see what the internet is capable of: one guy halfway across the globe posts a video and, 10 years latter, here I am, mesmerized with his technique.

One doesn't need to agree with all his methods and explanations, but it surely give one a precise baseline for improvisation. 😍
Young man learns how an old man materializes his forever youth heart.
Excellent
Forget sawzalls and fein tools.A nice sharp handsaw is the way to go.
Bad info. I bottom painted my boat like this 4 years ago and now my hull has blisters. Exposed gel coat needs to be barrier coated.
Bad info. This is how i bottom painted my boat 4 years ago and now my hull has blisters. Any exposed gelcoat needs barrier coat.
This is just so amazing, and the good thing is it has been recorded for all time for all to see and appreciate.
You ever seen a shark’s eyes, chief? They’re dead eyes, like a doll’s eyes.
Straight forward instructions. No nonsense no filler. Outstanding.
How much would that Boat cost to buy
Is the skiff your own design!
Your are the master. I enjoy your builds.
Hooper drives the boat chief
This is amazing. When it's done, I would do anything for a trip out on it! Keep up the good work (from the UK)
Thanks! This is just what I was looking for
To keep it from floating, it's best to use either vacuum infusing, or lay it up as you are, then vacuum bag it.
12:55 In adition you can display it in a gallery as a work of art!
you can fold tape over the corners to stop them from digging
Glad you’re back Louie. Was getting worried about you man.
The boat you’re working on is very interesting. Can we see the whole boat. Seems to have a built in lift chine. Looks like it would be a nice Bass boat.
Happy to see you’re back. Had us worried.
Thanks very much for taking the time to educate us on power planers, and on the crappy job power tool manufacturers do in prepping their merchandise. I truly hope they are watching and taking note of all the adjustments and modifications necessary to make a brand new tool safe and usable. Unfortunately; modifying a power tool voids the warranty, so you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
The hull design is great it glides over the water smooth and it moves with little effort If U BUILD IT they will come Blessings to your family
Awesome!
Awesome!
Im a boatbuilder and im watching this at 2:30 am wishing i could help. Building the hull has always been my favourite part
I build small catamaran sailing ply'wd. hulls (20'x9') and STOP at this fine builder's glass/epoxy step! seems to work for FL waters. so far :-) but...mannnnn...that above is sho one hard-workin' hull, being its double-planked! whewwww....heavy, I'll bet, too. most have heavy waves there??
What is going to be the length and the beam measurements?
You should have plans for this so others can build this exact boat. I sure would love to try my hand!!!! I'd call the boat Louie
Oh I was so worried about you my friend. Looking forward to the Orca. I was very happy to see this video pop up in my CZcams feed. God is good.
I sent this video to my friend Doug. He said it changed his life.
Good Video, Thanks
Beautiful work as always. What is the Orca's beam?
So cool 😎
Any chance the plans for the total boat work skiff are for sale? So interested in building it.
