Building ORCA - Episode 3: Construction begins! Cutting and scarfing the keel!

- Construction on ORCA has begun!!! The first goal for us is to get our centerline set-up. This will consist of the keel, forefoot, stem, stern post and horn timber. ORCA will be 40 feet long and the keel will be just under 30 feet made from two large pieces of white oak. You saw us select and process these timbers at the mill in episodes 1&2. Before we can scarf the pieces together we need to make sure they are exactly square and parralel or the scarf wont match well so we're going to check them with a square and knock it back with the electric place where needed. Now we're ready to make our first plunge cut. There's no easy way to make this cut, especially trying to cut the 2 degree angel so for this first direction I have no choice but to plunge into the material before moving the saw forward. Once we have our two scarfs we're going to connect them and we've got our keel! Our next step is to attach the forefoot to the front of the keel, stay tuned for that and more exciting ORCA news coming soon!
Also, come visit us at the Newport Boat Show this September 15-18th at the TotalBoat booth, we'll doing all kinds of fun things and would love to answer questions and talk about boats and anything else. We'll have a coupon code shortly for discounted admission. More details soon! See you there!

While I'm not a shipwright at all but I am a woodworker and I absolutely love watching these videos because I pick up so many tips . Awesome skill and a really generous man . Bless you .
Awesome, thank you!
Hey Lou, I’m glad somebody had the foresight to record you at work. What a wonderful thing to leave to the woodworking and boat building community. There is nobody in or around woodworking since Norb Abram that explains things better than you just love your videos and learn tons we could get young kids into paying attention, imagine what the future would hold. Keep making them beautiful.
“You’re gonna need a bigger keel.” Looks good. Looking forward to watching the progress.
"Hooper drives the boat Chief" Lol.
Quit playing with yourself, Hooper!
The guy is a goddamn national treasure
As usual, you don't disappoint. Love the way you explain the how's and why's of what you do to accomplish a given task. Solid gold information. Greatly appreciate the way you take us under your wing. Keep at it Lou!
We appreciate that, thank you!!
Looks great Lou! Always exciting to start a new project.
Glad to see you here Bob.
Thanks Bob!
Jaws is my favorite movie. I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to this build. I love your work Lou!
It's really so much fun isn't it, you can watch it a million times, never gets old
Nice setup and execution on that dangerous plunge cut. Lou is so casual that its easy to miss that this is a high level move.
Thanks Tyler, yes very thought-out and I understand what the saw can and can't do, be safe
As a big Jaws fan, I’m super excited for this build. I had no idea that the “Orca build” was going to be THE Orca from Jaws! Awesome!
They are gonna need a bigger boat!
Your trick of using the level face with graphite is the same idea as machinists bluing up a machine bed way and scraping it. 😍😍
Great point!
Proud to say I was lucky enough to get a preview of this earlier today. Thanks Halsey and Lou! Great work as always!
Tom! We love you having around, hope we can do it again soon!
Fabulous. I could listen to Lou all day long. Excellent shipwright and communicator.
Curious coincidence, Lou, regarding the 2 degree angle. I was watching a UT video about early water distribution, which mentioned an ancient Greek making a tunnel through a mountain. As he couldn't guarantee that his excavations from both ends would meet exactly, he angled them slightly horizontally so that they had to cross at some point. There was no mention about how the vertical alignment was maintained, but the horizontal trick was as clever as yours!
Aha very interesting, same idea, thank you!
Cutting that two degree peak as you came in from each side of the timber then plane to level was masterful. Gonna have to build a boat just so I can try that!
I can't wait to see this project come to life!
I've been licking my chops looking forward to this build, love the skiffs but a lobster boat is a thing of beauty, Thanks Lou!
Like it Lou
Very nice work Lou. Those timbers are beautiful. Can't wait until the fore foot and stern post to go on. Have a good week.
You and me both, definitely looking forward to the stern post!
This is great, I have been searching for another boat build to watch aside from the Tallyho and Acorn to Arabella channels.
What a legendary boat this will be
Greetings from Sweden. I have an idea for fun drinking game ;) every time Lou says cut then its time for a shot.... Joking aside i absolutely love your videos man. Keep up the good work!!!!
You have a easy voice to listen to Lou. I enjoy your videos.
Looking forward to watching ORCA come together! Thanks Louis!
I'm already excited about the build!
We are too!! Get ready!
That 2º trick is awesome. Just like all the work you do. Thanks for sharing Lou!
A privilege to see the beginning of this build Lou. Thanks. Joe
Oh, wow, great! Another Lou build! I'm super excited.
Mis respetos para este artesano en verdad impresionante los detalles se reflejan en los resultados
You truly give Tips from a Shipwright! I may never build a boat but you give me insights into solving other problems that I may encounter in my workshop.
Thank you Uncle Lou! Regards from South Africa.
Thank you Barry! We love hearing from people in different places, would love to visit one day, keep up the hard work!!
-Lou
Finally a Orca Replica that is being built from the keel up I will be watching this intently as she takes shape well done guys
Keep watching, it's going to be a fun build and even more fun out on the water
Oh Joy!! The journey begins!! Awesome Lou, a dream to watch you build her!!
Great project, always something to look forward too with you Lou!
Such an exciting project as an homage to a superb movie star. I may never build a boat myself but the woodworking tips are going to be amazingly useful.
That is a quite something else with interior fittings, propulsion and electrics, the works. At least 3 to 4 years start to finish I recon. I will sure follow!
Still so many good simple tips. 👌👍
Thanks Henry
I've been waiting for this, now we're paying attention, seriously!
This is exciting!
Happy to see that you’re starting Orca.
Been waiting along time for this series
Amazing work
Beautiful keel start.
Looking forward to this build!
Great stuff Lou! Looking forward in great anticipation!
Oh what a series this is gonna be👏🏼
Can’t wait for this build! Amazing job Lou 💪
Can't wait to see this happen
Excellent video - thanks!
Congrats on the start. Going to be a great series. looking forward to it.
Great work bud. Keep it going
so beautiful, thank you
Thank you! Cheers!
More great insights and tips...always respect the saw 👍
You bet
This is going to be fantastic !
Thanks Dennis!
I love your enthusiasm and depth of knowledge. Inspirational!
Thanks Paul!
your a rad human
Oh dude you are awesome!
Thank you Jackie
Very excited about this one Lou. Looks great. Thank you!
You and me both!
It is fun to see a project start.
Thanks John, yes bittersweet to see the V-Bottom wrapping up but ORCA has us excited beyond belief!
Interesting as usual. Cheers, Chuck
Many thanks Chuck!
Thanks for sharing my friend!
Thank you too
Amazing power on that 8”saw to cut and throw the sawdust like it did!
with a 10 inch blade no less
Already fantastic with the first steps. This is going to be extremely epic.
Right on!
Thanks Lou. I am excited!
Thanks Ron!
great construction and very good instruction
Appreciate the compliment Buck, thank you
What this guy could do with a builders level.
Lou, I would love to hear your Quint impersonation on the next vid! Love this project. Thanks man!
Thanks Jason, stay tuned we're about to start cranking!
thanks Lou
I can't wait for this project to be done I've always wanted to see somebody build the orca and now it's happening I'm so excited
Thanks Anthony, stay tuned for more ways to get involved with the build
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos I'll definitely stay tune with this build series
Wow, what a project. This is similar to a Peter Kass boat.
And like a junkie, I tell myself, I am not going to watch another boat building video but Lou, you bastard, your my dealer. I fucking love it. Thank you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So pumped 4 Orca
Thanks Captain, stay tuned, forefoot coming next!
I’m living on the wrong coast for once, I’d love to come and visit you at Newport!
You're welcome anytime!
Wow
I appreciate you saying “inch and a quarter “ and not five quarters.
“China marker” works for identifying high spots too.
Pour la planéité, c'est quand meme plus simple avec une varloppe(grand rabot à main).
Just got here from Engels Coach Shop. You're the chattiest carpenter I've ever seen, that's good.
I liked the mods that you made in the circular saw, if I owned a multinational I would sue you for breach of my patents.
I liked your video format that overlays the workshop scenes to a studio audio, I've been talking to several youtubers to do this, but the guys ignore me, until you appeared to break my patents. []s
Welcome aboard!
Shark jokes aside, as Talky Ho nears completion, ravenous fans in withdrawal from the live oak and purple heart blues will likely resume schooling here.
We love watching Tally-Ho also, she seems to have quite a bit left though so more fun there, can't wait to get both these boats on the water.
The old winding sticks method.
Would a 2 degree bevel on the fence, matching the saw, help to make the first plunge?
This channel name is so wrong. Should be at least "Lessons from a Shipwright". Great job, great channel, learning a lot from a master is a gift.
Love the vids on building Orca .as iam interested in making a pair of model fishing boats approx 39" pitvh pine on oak frame .Which i need some help with the tramsom design as its angled from the stern and in towards the center .I have pics but youtube dosent let you put up pics
Very very nicely done Lou, what kind of bedding compound will you be using on the keel joints? Wish I could make it to New Port, but it is a fair piece from Texas
Hi Tom, wait and see ;) and you're welcome to visit anytime, we'll certainly let you know if we're ever in the area
Lou, I will be coming up from North Carolina to the Newport Boat Show. I spoke with the folks at Total Boat and saw that you will be at the CZcams Influencer booth on the North Commercial Warf but nobody could give me dates/times you will be there. Can you provide us with some general date/time info as to when you will be present? I am really looking forward to seeing you there and hope that you autography my "Tips from a Shipwright" ball cap!
Hi Gary, we're excited about it also, it's going to be a good time! Check out the schedule below for our times at the CZcamsr Booth but we'll be hanging out all weekend so they'll be plenty of time to chat.
Thursday: 10-11AM
Friday: 3-4 PM
Saturday: 3-4 PM
Sunday: 2-3 PM
Can’t wait. Did you give us any details on what ORCA will look like? I can’t remember 🙂
No not yet, we will be going into the drawing and more very shortly, stay tuned!
Excited to watch the progress! Do you think it might be ready for 50th Anniversary?
We're working on it, all hands on deck!
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos any ORCA Support Crew T Shirts? Help cover costs or. Buy a Board? Send $50 and you put name on board in Sharpie Ink and get a certificate?
Looking good! Why wouldn't anyone not follow what you Do? Nice job on the Scarf!
Thank you Scott, we've got another big move coming up here with the forefoot, it's going to be cool
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos I am looking forward to watching the whole project Louis! I am sure it will be cool! Nice work!
I enjoy these videos, but this is my first comment. I once went to an exhibition of Russian space craft, and before that an exhibition of American and European spacecraft. The differences were remarkable. Russian crafts were (to my eye) crude with mismatched joints and exposed welds. American and European machines resembled Swiss watches. Over time Russia machines performed as good as, and sometimes better than American/European machines. This was acknowledged by the docents. My point? It will make no difference in performance or longevity if the ORCA keel is slightly off kilter. I admire your desire for perfection, but it is not needed in a boat worked hard through it's lifetime. If it headed for the motion picture museum in LA, that is a different matter.
I must say I'm a bit surprised by the number of checks in this piece...
Lou, could you post a pic or drawing of Orca in the intro of these vids? Reminds us of what you are building. Thanks Nuts.
Yes we will be doing just that, thanks
Louis....you have no idea how much I'd be into meeting and chatting with you....however...I live on the other side of the planet from you.....please make sure you take your go-pro with you.....
Give us a call if you're ever in the area
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos I would but I'm an oldie like you who has a heart condition that doesn't allow me to fly...and fly for 24 hours....just know the respect I have for 'experienced craftsmen' like yourself.
Is the checking on that timber not an issue?
not an issue, much of what you see will be rabbited out to accept the planking
Hello Lou, I really love your work, thank you for sharing your vídeos!
I'm a Brazilian fan, would like to pay you a visit sometime, please let me know If we can make It happen!
Peace!
Anytime, everyone is welcome at the Open Door Boat Shop ;)
I was thinking you'd have done a hook scarf for the keel so they cant slide apart longitudinally, I know they'll be bolted
There's very little force in the boat trying to pull the pieces apart, just not enough advantage to doing in imo
Do we need to put a beam saw in Lou's hands?
Lou, For a 16 foot gentleman runabout, how do you design laminated frames to replace sawn frames?
Either bend them in place or bend 'em on some sort of mold and then fit 'em...whatever works!
This reminds me of a joke my uncle used to tell about a shipwright called him and said I can't come to work today, My wife's having a baby. The next day he asked him if it was a boy or a girl? The shipwright said I don't know we just laid the keel yesterday.
what happened to the skiff ?
She's coming along, new video next week!
I would like to see the completion of the v bottom skiff with all the bright work done and see her underway. What happened to that I feel like we've left something undone here. Unless I missed a video.
ungrateful much
@@caseydixon8714 Who is ungrateful?
Hi Kevin, you didn't miss anything, varnishing will be our next episode, we're bouncing back and forth between the V-Bottom and ORCA but we will show the completion of the V-Bottom and of course taking her out on the water.
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos thanks Lou for the information.
Cool - but when are you going to finish the V bottom skiff?
Very soon, we're filming more episodes right now
Did you remove the kickstand on your electric planer? I was thinking about removing mine, I have the same one.
Yes he did. Somewhere there is a video about that adjustment to his planer but I can't remember when - maybe a couple seasons back.
@@muchmorecoffee Ok, thanks.
