- After a short break, Lou is back at it! 23' V-Bottom sea trials and new ORCA episodes on the way but first we want to share with you a great video from our weekend at the 2022 Catskill Mountain CZcams Maker Camp. We we're there with the TotalBoat team, Jimmy Diresta and several other great CZcamsrs and fans to see some great demonstrations and do their own small builds with fellow creators.
We've decided to challenge ourselves to try and build a 15 foot dory in 2 days. It's a relatively simple technique, we create the two sides, nail the ends together, spread it open like an envelope and then nail on the bottom. Check out the video to see if we're able to do it!

Okay we definitely need to see it in the water with someone rowing.
I bet Jim DeResta was as excited to meet you as you were to meet him. My two favourite youtubers
They met a few years ago at the Mystic Wooden Boat Show in Mystic, CT. Jimmy did an interview with him.

What a cool festival.

Hey Lou! ~ Keepin the dream alive! I'll tell ya. (My story today here in New Hampshire): I've got a 19 foot glass lake boat ~ low freeboard ~. very fast, all the rigging there, North Sails and an extra mainsail. Crazy. Trying to totally refurbish the hull following a tree falling on it, yes, 20 years ago. Just a rip in the bow. My son had me agree to take it to demolition. "Get that thing out of here!" At that point, My PLANS changed. So trying to widen the hull (even faster) has changed to making the hull much narrower. So "fold it up" so to speak. More like a Canoe. Its all there. My challenge now is to make two AMA's for yes, A TRIMARAN. I think I can do this. Cutting the glass hull in ways to allow a much Narrower shape. Very crazy. I'm thinking I can get radical. I like the 3 penny ganvie nails and caulking. Anyway. I need to make the two AMA's for either side. Gonna happen I tell ya. This winter! Oh yea. For me "Demolition" has translated to "Crazy" boatbuilding! Thank you for sharing all that you do! ～✨🌸🌟🙏🌟🌸✨～
I sure love your voice, your sense of humor, your insights, and your enthusiastic energy!
Superduper project/ great host...makes it fun! Everyone wants to know how to make nice things....and anyone CAN make a dory!!
....that floats, that catches fish, that reeks of "Grander Banks" yet doesnt mean removing much cash from the BANK! We in NZ like boatbuilding...El Simplo
Wonderful America , God Bless America, God Bless American People! Glorious America!
The catskills... I've heard rumors of a solid bunch of dancers that work the season there. ;)
Clamps, clamps, clamps. When you have enough get more. Now start building
Lou is the Rocky Balboa of boatmakers.
Looks like a great few days was had by all .... perfect.
Louie your salt of the Sea!!! ☦️
Looked like a lot of people had a lot of fun.
We have a wooden boat show In Georgetown SC, 2 man teams race to build plywood rowboats , then they have to race them.. it’s a good time
Thanks from Slam Bang fishing lodge west coast of Vancouver Island we specialize in good times
Awww! I really wanted to see Louis splash it!
That so great and the community coming together in such a positive way !!!! This is what is needed in to days community this that all can learn and share in positive family and community activities
Yes, splash splash, splash (the dory)
Lou and Jimmy Diresta chatting! Two of my favorites right there.
We had a blast!
Stoked to see this video up today. Looking forward to the Orca build! Cheers Lou and Team..
So rad! Thanks for sharing Lou!
What an incredible weekend! Thank you for your hard work, we all had a blast!
Makers Camp is always my favorite weekend of the year, catching up with old friends and meeting new friends. Seeing Lou there took it to a completely higher level! Thank you for joining the party this year!!!
What a fun weekend. Thanks for sharing.
There is no teacher like experience and clearly Lou is a master shipwright. Thanks for the video, looks like a great day.
What a great video. Looks like you had a ball! Glad to see the kids working with their hands and having fun! Cheers Lou!
Great to watch. Your enthusiasm is infectious!
Nice to see you back Lou !
Way cool and way fun! Thanks for making me smile and also planting another seed of an idea in my noggin. Cheers!
Thanks for including me in your video. I was the smith in the Meer shirt!
What a fun video to watch. Seeing all of those younglings making stitch and glue models was uplifting. Your two day build was fun to watch. Now I know what to do this spring when I can get outside in dry weather again. Thank you Lou for taking us along to this event.
This is just so full of great info and told so cheerful
Such a great little boat build.
Dories like that are wonderful in a short steep sea.
Neat little boat, love the tips on each build. ....also that lady with the leaf blower is cheating!
Good stuff Lou!
Pretty amazing, Mr. Wright.
I thoroughly enjoyed that! What a great project!
Totally different! Totally fun! Why am I not surprised?
Awesome ! Live Life ! Straight Ahead ✌😎
Nice to see youngsters taking part in traditional American values.
Looks like a good weekend !
Awesome! Thanks for sharing that.
Great job and fun to boot!
That looks like a fun time. Wish I was there.
love the way that your knowledge come out as physical truth
7 months ago? how did I miss this?
I hope you had a blast sir.
This is incredible!
Great time, was awesome meeting you
Great story!
Thank you for sharing
Fantastic!!
Excellent!
soo happy to have been able to help y'all!
WoW 🤩 that was a great video! Lots of info in a short amount of time. I have to try this. Thank you
Bloody Brilliant...
What a blast
Amazing skills and enthusiasm
Looks like a fun weekend
Nice work mate
Awesome stuff mate. 👍
That looks like a lot of fun. I’d love to go to that if they do it again.
Awesome
We call those little boats pirogues down here. Very handy little boats. After seeing this, I'm going to make one myself.
I have been thinking about making one out of plywood, but wasn't sure about some of the little intricacies that you demonstrated very well.
Watching this has definitely saved me a lot of headache and cursing.
Thank you sir.
Impressive. And inspiring
I would give this more likes if I could. I have 5 grandsons that would've loved to do something like this.
I enjoyed the build. A little wider bottom and a little lower sides and you would have a great Louisiana pirogue. Very similar to the way I've built the 5-6 I've built. One of the best designs for the slow, shallow waters here in South Louisiana. I've paddled approx. 1500 miles in one with the double kayak paddle......my favorite.
You and Xyla Foxlin need to collaborate!
Looks like fun.
Great video.
Awesome!
What a cool video!
Man it is BEAUTIFUL there! I need to plan a ride up on the bike...
Great video 👍
Excellent stuff. 👍😁❤️😇
Love it
Fascinating reminds me of building a mirror dinghy nearly 30 years ago. Have you ever seen the design it was in weekly parts in a national newspaper.
Lou's the best
Great Vid, thanks !!
Fantastic cool...
12:44 how can I sail away to a Desert Island with these sisters? Louis ya got a number for me? GRRrrr .....
Nice
Those oars look like 1 5/8" closet pole Lou. 😉
That's really cool how you do that
...and you put those nails in there at two angles that's amazing how they hold so much better like that isn't it ...at this sealng class I had at Boeing... This engineer says that the bonding surfaces should have the cement rubbed into them slightly and it'll hold up to twice as good rather than just laying it on there ...but I think that if you scuffled the parts against each other around a little bit after you apply the bonding agent it's probably the same thing ...but I was going to be a boat builder at one time and thank you very much for sharing
Fast build like it see the Dory Shop in Shelburne , Nova Scotia , Canada on the world's 4 the largest harbor deep water 14 miles deep ! Love your videos 5 grandfather's boat builders named after my dad's Cape Island boat !!!
That'll be a propane forge Lou!
Mr. Lou,
I fish in the calm waters of small lakes and ponds for panfish. I would LOVE to build a boat like the one you show here.
If you could PLEASE SIR.... make a short series on the complete build of one of these, so that we could build one, my buddies and I would also make them . The materials do not look too awfully expensive, and the boat looks like it would easily handle 1 large white Southern man and all his gear, plus an ice box of sweet tea and sandwiches. It also looks like it may be simple enough for us to build, say 2 guys working on 1 boat at a garage over 2 weekends, maybe 3 or 4 if we fiberglass the outside?
Mr. Lou....a simple aluminum 14ft John Boat is now well over $1000 in cost. buying a used one is a pain in the butt because in Texas, No Title means No Boat, and most affordable boats have lost the titles. The only real choice for a good boat right now, due to the economy and shortages, is to build one. This design of yours looks like a real, doable, winner sir.
Please, I am positive others feel the same. If you could take a few days and make one of these, and show all the steps and give the measurements, I am positive my group of fishing buddies would be just as appreciative as several thousand others !
Thank you sir so much,
Dave S.
South Texas, on the coastal plains.
Lower sides and wider beam (especially the bottom), and it would be a plywood Cajun pirogue.
Wooden Boats are Great ! they ride fantastic because the Wooden Hulls Absorb a lot of the Pounding of the Hull on Choppy water the biggest Drawback to them is they require a little more Labor Intensive Work to maintain them in topShipShape and often on Carvel Style Boats that are Frames , with Plywood skins and Planking applied over that mechanically fastened with Bronze Screws is over long periods the Fasteners do require to be redone and that’s a lot of work also unlike a Composite Hull the Joints require re Caulking and new Chinking that requires the boats to be Blocked Up on the Hard
Hi, I would love to get some kids building those little dories. Is there a laser cut file or a model kit available for them?
Keep up the great work,
Alex from NZ
If Lou had been on the island with the skipper and the professor, he could have fixed the SS Minnow with ease!
Good morning I like the Lord Dory that you're putting together it seems to be simple and straightforward and to-the-point the way you put it together I'm wondering if you could give a little details to what you did I'm trying to come up with a small boat to use as a fishing boat and I want to make sure that one man can can move around and by myself I was wondering if you could give some details as to what side Heights you would use and the best way to maybe cut the angles on the front so they planes to the water nicely thank you for your assistance and sharing your designs and ideas
Is that 1/4 inch ACX? ... I have that lying around...
Would be nice if you had a yard stick, so we would know some measurements,,, But i still love watching you go. Great boat ,
So, how would a flat transom go on that dory? I have an old, old seagull motor that would be great for a small boat like this.
Are there plans available for this? I'm looking to build a seaworthy rowing dory to fish from. I eventually want to try building a power skiff, but being a complete novice, I want to try a simpler build
There actually is a way to clamp a scarf. You plane the edge of a 2x4 so that it tapers down from the middle to each end. Place it over the scarf with a second 2x4 on edge on the other side, and clamp both together. The result is the shape of the planed 2x4 applies more force in the middle where it's needed most.
this is a great tip! how much do you plane it?
1:15 Evening woodworker!?
What kind of plywood did you use
Will that take Alantic ocean. Thinking making cheap one. Small sail. From South Africa to Britain 7000 miles
