I also have a lathe like yours that has a nonspinning tail, but it smokes real bad once the wood is spinning. Any tips?

Would love to listen to Steve talk about his career!

Hello Bob...I am really curious...in all your series I percept you like a really calm person, but do you get angry, or furious when something goes wrong? I would like to see a short video with your "furious" moments...if such exist 😃 Big greetings from a follower from Croatia...

Great tutorial, Bob. I do a few of these in my day job and it's always interesting to see other people's techniques as there's always something to learn. One thing I like to do to make things easier: after feeding the tapered cover through the core, I leave the fid taped on and save the milking until after I have got the core through the cover. This means there are no worries about the cover sneaking back out whilst I'm messing about with the other side; once both core and cover are inside their respective cover and core they can each still be pulled tight, ensuring a tight crossover point. Just something that helped the process for me! Cheers, love the videos.

Changing the direction you’re painting all the time is giving me heart failure

never have i been more exited for a youtube video than seeing a 35min lofting vid on my for you page

Quick question. I’m looking to build either a Buzzards Bay or a Watch Hill and I cannot for the life of me find the full plans for it.

Thank you for the video.

Awesome work, Bob! Always like seeing your process!

Her launching has been a long time coming. Wish I could be there. Fantastic work Bob.

When are you coming back on line Bob

Hola medidas de eslora y manga?

That hammer looks like something Thor would weild.

Thanks for sharing the creative idea for twist-lock installation! Another great video!

As I am now retired but haven't lost my knowledge on mixing epoxy and paints properly. I feel it absolutely necessary to shed some light on your mixing abilities. It was in my 3rd year of schooling in the automotive industry we were taught to mix in the epoxy resin category which by the way had nothing to do with painting but it was brought to our attention that resins being much thicker by viscosity one must take a piece of wire (coat hanger) in thickness cut a piece long enough to form a 2 inch triangle at the bottom end and used in a small drill to mix our resins thoroughly. I don't mean to be rude in this, but only helpful. I thank you for your taking the time to share your knowledge as well. It brought back some memories for me, and it was fun to watch you work.😊

Hi, I was wondering how did you determine the apex line for the stem rabbet? Excellent video!

There is not many videos on this. Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. But how and where would you find plans?

While i appreciate your accuracy why subtract the thickness of the planking from the mold? who cares if your boat is 6/8 wider than the plan?

Another truly beautiful project!!

I haven’t looked into this yet Bob but now I have the basic recipe. The folks at Sailrite are a pleasure. Great as usual. I won’t make it to the show this year but will be there in spirit. Best wishes, Chuck

Good morning. Do you know somewhere where I could download the project to sew a size 5.7 sail in the classic windsurfing style one design windsurfer?

Excellent piece of work. Thank you doe sharing.🙂🙂

Curious what body of water you intend to keep her that would require sail covers? Peoria Lake?

Gracias Bob.Por todo el tiempo que te has tomado para mostrarnos este hermoso trabajo que has hecho.Yo aquí en Chile,solo me confomo con mirarlo por yuo tube.Muy agradecido y DIOS TE BENDIGA.

Awesome work, Bob! I'm a long way from needing sail covers (right now, I'm trying to find a good supply of long, straight grain white oak slabs for new frames), but I'll certainly reference this when the time comes.

Thank you Bob. I always learn something from your videos, even though I am a landlubber.

It looks like you’re ready to go sailing. I’ve watched this series since the beginning and it’s been time well spent. It truly has represented “the art of boatbuilding”. Bravo!

Thanks

Do you have plans to make a tonneau for the cockpit to keep it from filling up with rain when stored?

I like how generously sized your sail covers are. The commercial sail covers I have used always seem to be barely big enough and it has been a struggle to get the twist locks fastened.

Beautiful work Bob on the sail covers and creating another informative and entertaining video. I look forward to the launch video and see the beautiful lines of Skylark sailing in the bay near Mystic Seaport. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful, Bob! Fantastic work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

As always, if you're gonna make it, make it like Bob does. Beautifully. The sewing is so satisfying.

You must have great knees, Bob.😊

😀👍👏👏👏

Great job, I always enjoy your videos, so full of great information.

As always, beautiful work and you do a great job at showing the process. Very clear with the right amount of detail. One question, as I am contemplating making covers for my gaff rig. My peak halyard is detachable at the gaff, which I then clip for storage to one of the chainplates. This would eliminate the cut in the middle of the cover. Is there a reason not to do this?

Bob, I would love to make the trip across “the pond” for the launching of your beautiful boat but I think it's just a trip too far and my pockets aren't that deep. I am sure it will be a very memorable day.

I am a landlubber, not a sailer. I’m wondering why sail covers are necessary. Isn’t the sail material weather tolerant ?

Great work Always wanted to get into sailmaking Years ago I took auto upholstery classes and worked in a shop for awhile First time I ever touched a sewing machine was on a Pfaff comercial that could sew through your thumb A friend of my dad who knew I used to do that gave me her old 1957-9 machine I wanted to make a WW2 style Navy hammock out of duck canvas Ended up using a sewing awl

For those who followed his videos, it is certain that when completing this work, accessories for protecting and caring for the sailboat could not be missing. Complete to the extreme, your work is fantastic. Congratulations and thank you for providing the pleasure of watching videos full of information, it is certainly encouraging to those interested in boat building. I'm looking forward to seeing you sailing. Good winds! Marcos - Brazil - South America

I should have said this two weeks ago but I thought no you will see it. Anyway just if you don’t, you need a leather cover to go over your mast band so you don’t scratch your mast.

Superb job, work of the highest quality

Always a pleasure watching a master craftsman at work.

You are truly a Renaissance Man. Is there anything you aren’t great at?

Hi Bob, thank you for the wonderful video once again I just love all your skills that you have. I wish I had the patience that you have. Anyway keep up the good work Cliff from Australia

Good Morning Bob

Very informative, thank you, where are you located?

I am very much looking forward to seeing Skylark sail. I'm not sure if you are familiar with Lowell's Boat Shop & Museum in Amesbury, MA. They have several teaching programs including an Apprenticeship Program. It turns out that their current students in the program are finishing up a Haven 12 1/2 as well which should be ready in the spring. Thought you might be interested.
