Building ORCA - Episode 7: Drilling the center line for bolting
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 01. 2023
- 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 rabbiting the keel and then we'll swap it all out with bronze fastenings later. We're getting close to standing up the entire center line along with the stem and that will give us all a real good look at the shape of ORCA.

"It doesn't have to be perfect, but it's got to be good." That is a great motto for everybody, for life!
I agree, I use one that changed my life quite literally. "Don't let perfection keep you from good enough"
"Bronze is still the answer."
Best quote of 2023
Yessir
“This thing is haulin’ ass” is quite possibly the greatest quote from every season of Tips.
As a timber framer and huge fan of Jaws, this might be the greatest thing I have ever witnessed. Keep it up Lou.
Now that's a compliment, thanks, will do!
When I was in the 8th grade woodshop, the phrase you've got to be good was said by our instructor. It is words to live by for sure. Keep it coming. Always enjoyable.
This ORCA build will get me through the long MN Winter.
I’m guessing it will get you through a couple MN winters.
11:44 More emotion than I've seen from Lou in all his previous videos. ☺️☺️☺️
Stunning and I'm just as excited as Lou about the journey ahead. All the best for 2023.
I backed the video up to see the exact time and started to type 11:44 when I saw your comment. I was literally going to say exactly what you said. ✌️👍
@@dozer1642 ☺️☺️☺️
What a pleasure to see Orca being built! And, as always, to see a master craftsman at work. Hope 2023 will be the best year yet for you, Lou!
Thanks Ray, love the support, you make it that way!
All those small details, tips and tricks. Great to pass them on to next generations. Those masters aren't going to be with us forever.
yes it is, good knowledge
It’s great watching such a skilled shipwright at work,I cannot get enough cheers.Roly🇬🇧.
And, we're off and running...
"Orca II" is in the making, we have boards fastened together. Yes, yes, yes!
Here we go!
For a moment there I thought Lou got a hair cut. Okay back to this awesome boat.
Hi Lou, Thanks for the bronze vs. stainless discussion. I get asked that question often, now I can send them to this video. A clear and great explanation!
Thanks,
Bob
Hi Bob! Great to hear from you, hope all is well, lets find a way to collaborate on ORCA!
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos sounds like a great idea. We’ll talk soon.
Lou drilling a hole by hand and eye is more accurately than many drill presses!
Ryobi owes Lou a sponsorship!
You said it!
The bolt in the hole saw idea is awesome!
I wish I’d thought of it a few weeks ago but will use in the future.
Thank you!
Me too !!
I have never commented on a CZcams channel as much as I have on this build. It's looking great and I can already see the shape.
Keep it up!
Can't tell you how much I was looking forward to this video release.... Hope you enjoyed holidays, now let's get 'er done!!! kidding.... much enjoyed...
Thanks Lou
All the best in 2023 young feller!!! CHEERS from Westcoast Vancouver Island!
You talk about the battery power and you're right, who would think that you could drill all those holes with a battery. Of course your knowledge and sharpening of drill bits is key. I have that same Ryobi drill and I find it's been quite amazing. Very sensitive for the often light cabinet work I do. I've been mostly happy with all the Ryobi tools I've had over the years as a cabinetmaker.
There is a limit at times, at the chucks aren't as great as I like...
This has made my day brighter, thanks mate from Australia.
This is exciting! Can't wait to see this boat start coming together. Never realized how much work and skill it takes to build a boat. Great work!
We're off and running!
That grinder reminds me of “Mr friendly” , that grinder with an 8” saw bland you used for a partial plank repair in a video years ago.
They're related ;)
The same contagious enthusiasm and a national treasure full of life in 2023!
Happy New Year Lou! :)
Thanks Daniel, off we go!
Thanks Lou. The editing and content in this video is next level. It really shows your skill and knowledge.
Brilliant idea with the bolt head as a pilot, Lou! Love that ingenious solution! 7:38
I've used the 'offset drilling for holes' many times in my career, works like a charm....and keeps everything tight from the first day until the end of the structure's life. A lesson from you to the younger generation regarding this should be discussed for all to understand! You're doing a fine job of sharing your knowledge, keep it going!
Yes! Very good trick!
Been a lackey to a couple of 30'+ builds now, and while the technical precision eludes me, I'm always surprised and delighted that it's sometimes necessary to eyeball some jobs and they turn out perfectly.
I liked the cameo appearance of Halsey.
Thanks from Slam Bang fishing lodge west coast coast of Vancouver island Kyuquot sound I worked at a famous boat builder after school he wanted me to stay with him but i went logging with my dad now I want to start building myself so thanks for the help
Fantastic tips and what a beautiful keel, thank you Lou, like all your boat builds I can hardly wait for the next episode.
I like those drills with built in levels, sometimes they come in handy
Makin it look easy. 👍
It's really starting to look like a boat now!
What a great video and those ship's augers really eat through that timber. Orca is starting to look great
Great work there
This build is my favorite of all the builds you've done thus far, Lou. I'm excited to see this transformation its going to be an awesome build.
You and me both!
Great start to an awesome project. I’ve been really looking forward to this build, thanks Lou!
You are a exelent teacher looking foward to see the Orca finish !
Thanks Carlos!
Exciting to see the keel coming together ! Thanks for the videos Lou!
Thanks Craig
This is great.
That looked so good when you set the spanner in there and it fit so well.
I was shaking my head at you drilling.
I bought my Makita 1/2 inch drill back in 1981 and it works as well as the day I got it. All I've done is replace the cord about a half dozen times over the years and only run it on 12 gauge cords.
So I never got a battery powered drill.
I would have never drilled those holes without the handle on the side of my drill. I was cringing.
Something I find interesting about white oak is how much lighter it is after it dries out.
Something I think you'd enjoy checking out is the museum complex at St. Michael's, Maryland, where they still build small boats. They use a type of home made clamp a guy from Sweden showed them and you're going to want to make a few as soon as you see them.
Thanks Garfield Farkle
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos Gladly. I am a retired carpenter and must say I have learned a lot from you and find your videos compelling.
I am a sailor living on the Chesapeake Bay.
I've never built a boat but have a scheme coming together in my head for one.
What I want to build is a boat I can carry in the bed of my pickup truck so I don't have to bother with a trailer.
One thing I really liked that you did was showing the difference between Red Oak and White Oak by showing how water is absorbed into each.
I wonder if you've ever worked with Live Oak (Quercus Virginiana) or American Chestnut (whose Latin name I can't recall)?
I did a lot of historic restoration and came across both in my work.
I had some of both in my shop, but used it all up.
I still have a few pieces of old growth pine milled in the mid-to-late 1700s. There are 54-58 growth rings in an inch of it quarter-sawn.
Good job drilling
Great to see the keel together! I have to say I like my Ryobi cordless gear as well. It may not be as flashy as what the pros use but for an amateur like me, it does really well.
Right on
coming along for the ride of my life!
Welcome aboard!
Watching Lou drill the through holes in the keel, was there anyone thinking "I wonder if those holes are going to be centered on the other side."? You just knew they were going to be so close to the center you would have to measure to see if they were different. Good job Lou.
Bingo
Lou you are a really great teacher! Thanks
Thanks, Lou! You make each step exciting.
Love my Ryobi battery drill.
Your helper haulsie kind of looks like hunter biden. Great content all the same lol! Love watching your videos!
Happy New Year !
Fascinating Lou.
Thanks Lou - this video is getting back to your original masterclasses of a few years back. It may not be perfect but boy it's good. Happy New Year.
My pleasure!
Really enjoying this one Lou.
Man this is such a cool project
Great job your knowledge is impressive.
I appreciate that!
Lou said the ships auger was “hauling ass.”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Happy new year and thank you.
wish the progress was faster....or the videos came faster....cant wait to see it farther along and finished
Looking really good. Thanks
Looking good.
Nice job. Have a Happy New Year
Happy New year to you and your family. Looking forward for next lesson. Thank you.
Offset drilling to cause compression is a standard technique in fracture/trauma surgery!
Right, I've had some!
Watching from the U K the master ship wright.Happy New Year.
Love this work. This is living, useful construction!!
Thanks Lou. Hope you had a Great Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Love the video be safe.
Love your homemade tools Lou
Thanks Kevin!
Beautiful work! Happy New Year Louis frum Northern England
Bravo
Thanks! 😎🌞
You’re welcome 😊
Bootstrap Lou built the USS Constitution out of three types of oak and the drill holes didn’t drift on that build either !!!
Where we go again. I have been excited about this build.
I always see an add on Craigs list in the wanted section for the cape and islands in Ma. There is a guy always looking for Jaws items. May he has some leads on surplus stuff.
Let me know if you want more info.
All The Best
Thank you, we appreciate the help!
Mmm, boat good!
amazing 👌👌
Thanks a lot 😊
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos Welcome to my friend
Sweet
Thanks Petter
I happy to see ryobi tools. I use ryobi tools. Only the most skilled craftsmen use ryobi tools.
Brilliant job Lou.. Look out JAWS. This boat isn't gunna break up like the original..
No it won't, that's a fact! Great white sharks beware!
😎
Another one in the the top 10! How can there be so many?
Thanks Mark!
Great work Louis! You make it look so easy. Do those joints need to be glued or are the bolts sufficient to hold it together? Thank you
The bolts are sufficient but we will add bedding compound when we fasten them for good
I really hope that you can make a plaque commemorating the souls lost and survived from the USS Indianapolis. To hang it in your version of Orca.
JAWS brought so much attention to the tragedy and was really pivotal in establishing the legalities of everything that happened in order to set the record straight.
What the Navy tried to do to poor Captain Mackvay in order to dodge responsibility is a true stain upon the American govt and military.
Really enjoying this series!!
Fascinating stuff we will look into and consider what we can do, thank you!
Surprised to hear that SS screws are only available in 18-8 alloys. Don't even want to think where they are made. Would you use 316 alloy screws if they were available?
Even the best stainless will not stand up to saltwater. I’ve seen 3 month old filter screens on Duplex gone in tropical saltwater, even brackish water will eat through 316L stainless in a heat exchanger, that’s why you use titanium.
As I understand it, it’s the chloride ions acting like microscopic drills, especially in non-moving water, which is why the heat exchangers leaked at seasonal start-up.
Great point
Free Willy Louis .. build her and set her free to swim the Ocean's seas
The scarf on the bottom of the keel, has a extra 2 inches or so sticking out, whats that for? Why not make the bottom of the keel flush?
There's a sacrificial plank that runs from *forefoot to stern.
🦞
Is that boat big enough ???
Anybody seen Lou lately. Maybe Mrs. Claus snapped him up north.
I think you and Socrates would have been pales!
We are pals ;)
When you were chiseling out the hole for the bolt. Isn't the bevel always suppose to be down on a chisel so the chisel doesn't dig deep into the wood? Iv always been taught to use bevel down so you can control how deep the chisel bites
A 1/2-13 grade 2 bolt is 7,800 lbs proof in tension.
I imagine all thread is similar.
Try wood owl bits made in Japan.
Any particular reason why you don't use a large spade bit for the countersink areas rather than a hole saw and then chisel out? Obviously a spade bit leaves a flat surface automatically and saves time too.
Same applies when you're breaking through the other side. When the point (of the spade bit) starts to break through, swap to a larger spade bit for the c/sink.
I t works - I use this technique fairly often.
Big spade bits can be crude and tough to control
@@TipsfromaShipwrightvideos Maybe it 's you then, because I produce the exact kind of counterbores that you have, but you have to think about the order in which to use them.
I have the same Ryobi cordless drill as you have and mine has this small spirit level on top. Can’t you use that to get the drill bit straight or level?
Wouldn't be perfectly accurate but you could
Looking good👍🏻
Better get busy! At this rate completion will be 2050. Very boring.
🤣
Ah
