This presentation was wonderfully informative and is very much appreciated. It is very commendable your part, that a lovely grave marker is now in place!

Oh my gosh. This is nectar.

The Australians know how to do it right and with fun.

Thank you, Great Sydney 18' history!

A truly great video, Ian. Well done and thank you for documenting and keeping alive the tradition of Australian Boatbuilding. Peter Gossell

Nice job on the great boat

Beautiful skylights ! Well done.👍

Very nice-looking vessel. Well done.

The proper name for an Crescent wrench/adjustable spanner is "mexican socket set"......if you're living in California.

wow thats a lot of sail for boat that size!

Look forward to admiring this swinging on its mooring for years to come. Beautiful boat.

Loved this video mate. I must slip a 50ft ex cray cutter to caulk the Garboard strakes and paint the hull. Good to be shown that linseed putty is used to fair the seams. I was almost thinking of slapping tar under the waterline as a critter deterrent. Any thoughts?.

Получаю огромное удовольствие смотреть как Вы работаете

Looks like great fun! That sail area is incredible. Thanks for sharing

На десятой минуте рассказывает неправильно. Несмотря на то, что доски тангенциального распила при высыхании стремятся выгнуться наружу, образовывая жёлоб со стороны заболони и горб со стороны сердцевины, крепить их к набору надо заболонью НАРУЖУ. Если последовать совету автора этого видео и расположить их наружу СЕРДЦЕВИНОЙ, то при изгибе вдоль будут отщепляться слои древесины, перерезанные при распиле бревна. Поперечное коробление досок в обшивке "внакрой" не имеет значения, т.к. тонкие и узкие доски надёжно раскреплены частым крепежом, а возникающее напряжение ликвидируется распариванием. Подобное расположение досок (сердцевиной наружу) может быть допустимо при использовании не пиленых, а - колотых досок (как в древности кололи доски из цельного бревна), без перерезания слоёв древесины (если только это возможно).

Lovely stuff Ian😍 Thanks for sharing👍

Another great video, Ian. I loved your comment on Teak. The Spotted Gum lookes the part.

It's been a real joy watching you work on this project for several years now! If I could ask, how do you clean up the varnish that inevitably ends up on the deck and hull of the boat?

Thank you for acknowledging the “blood money” aspect of exotic tropical hardwoods!

Thanks for the extra effort it must take to make these videos. I am building a folk boat ,three months in having trouble locating copper nails and roves I wonder if you might know where I might buy them ps I have your latest book which has been a great help

I really like your biscuit joiner spline technique. Definitely going in my bag o’ tricks. Thanks .

Looks terrific Ian.

Beautiful work and excellent info! Your giving me ideas for how to do the hatches and other bits on the Tahiti Ketch im restoring.

Hey Mr Smith, thanks for the wonderful film. Just found your channel and subscribed right away. My 1st viewing and already have some great ideas for our 50 year old boat. Kind regards, Jeff and Julie s/v OoLaLa Westsail32 Hull #81

Thanks for sharing this! I've enjoyed watching your progress on building this beautiful boat!

Welcome back smithy, great to see a new video. The boat's looking good.

Always great to get a video posted up from Ian, once again full of great tips and a lot of craftsmanship. Thank you and kind regards from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤🇦🇺

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

Thankyou have been looking forward for next eposide

What a joy it is to watch a true craftsman in action, beautiful workmanship Ian, the satisfaction in crafting something like that must be immense. thanks for sharing.

I'm surprised you have so many plugged, removable trim bits. I make modular furniture units, all the way back to the ribs and planking, firmly secured in hidden places for potential removal as units or sub-units.

My rule of thumb for internals is one chosen hardwood for the glued and screwed structural bits, and no more than two contrasting colours of soft wood (including any varnished plywood) for the pretty stuff. What with some paintwork, plus the upholstery, that's enough variation (5 tones) for me!

love your work Ian. Looking forward to seeing it on the Harbour

Hahaha. The ending was perfect. Great video! Will you also be making videos on seam maintenance? What is the process of restoring old seams with crumbling compound? Does the cotton need to be redone too? Thanks for sharing your craft!

editor on drugs?

Want one in SC USA❤

Fantastic! 👍

I enjoyed watching. The wave of the future these days is in powdered metal sintering process. Really the first new metal casting process in generations. You probably know it, but for readers, its powdered metal, (bronze, stainless, steel of different alloys etc) pressed into a metal form or even a strong fiberglass form which when ejected then makes a metal part same as the original but unconsolidated like parts of a damp sand castle. Literally seconds between one part formed, ejected, and the next part formed. These unconsolidated parts then are sintered in an oven to fusing temperature pretty much like fired ceramic. They emerge virtually as good as the normal traditionally cast part, ready for machining. A good video overview is here: ua-cam.com/video/PetwxkqM-kQ/v-deo.html I just wish that more marine castings were mass produced to bring the prices down. I almost suspect people could learn powdered metal casting ramming powder by hand in a garage but it requires a sintering furnace as opposed to a crucible furnace. That fuel filler cap was superb! The bronze mast caps are a beautiful unknown tradition to me.

I take a grinder and recess the knots just a bit and fill with epoxy and glass microspheres to soft toothpaste consistency. It is about the strength of spruce or white pine and sands very easily to a feather edge. Plus is white. Surprising how many cedar hulls in New York and New England with knots were just spot primed with paint and then painted.

Very good advice about that rounding of flat trim surfaces to make a more beautiful effect. Wow, do a lot of modern furniture designers in this world need to see this! I find that a lot simple things like this were added to simple country furniture of the 1810-1830 period here where I live in rural New York, and these make excellent design features that are simple as well. Often they were all that was needed to make a classical effect. Your rounding or swelling of some trim pieces falls into a similar category. Great advice!

Gracias impresionante 🏆💯💯💯💯

What a beautiful racing skiff, Ian, you did a great job building this gem. My father was a shipwright in his younger days than later become a finishing carpenter. He's passed now over twenty five yrs miss him greatly. I guess growing up in a fishing village causes a love for these old classics, especially, the old carvel planking style skiffs. Cheers..

online translation: Dear Mr. Smithy! You have clearly explained what a ringtail is in this video. QUESTION 1°) But why the mizzen/dirver stun'sail (studding sail) is called a ringtail? A ringtail is either a tail with ringlets like the ringtail cat or ringtail lemur or a ringed (curly) pigtails. QUESTION 2°) If you have adapted your mainsail ringtails from the studding sail of gaff-rigged driver on the square-rigger, why did you do it this way? QUESTION 3°) Is this due to easier handling? The driver stun'sail (spunker) of the square riggers did not overlap the gaff sail by half the width of their sailcloth, but were set behind it, as you yourself show in the picture at minute 0:20 and as can be seen in many photos of the Pride of Baltimore II and as shown in the book The Young Sea Officer's Sheet Anchor by Darcy Lever on page 66 with the so-called Fig. 354. The luff (fore leech) of these mizzen/driver stun'sail was guided with a bowline (<swedish boglina) on some ships, as on the square sails. QUESTION 4°) Does this mean that it was possible to sail upwind courses (close-reach, close-hauled) with these mizzen/driver stun'sails (spunker) with a bowline? ******************************************************************************************************* original text: Werter Herr Smithy! Was ein 'ringtail' ist, haben Sie in diesem Video anschaulich erklärt. FRAGE 1°) Warum wird aber das Besanleesegel als 'ringtail' (= Ringelschwanz) bezeichnet und nicht als 'mizzen stun'sail' ('studding sail'), welches es doch ist? Ein Ringelschwanz ist doch entweder ein Schwanz mit Ringeln (ring-tailed) wie beim Katzenfrett (ringtail cat) oder Katta (ringtail lemur) oder ein geringelter Schwanz bei den Schweinen. FRAGE 2°) Wenn Sie Ihre Groß-Leesegel von den Leesegeln der gaffelgetakelten Treiber der Rahsegler adaptiert haben, warum dann auf diese Ihre Weise? FRAGE 3°) Ist das der einfacheren Handhabung geschuldet? Die Leesegel des Treibers der Rahsegler überlappten doch nicht um die Hälfte ihrer Tuchbreite das Gaffelsegel, sondern wurden dahinter gefahren, wie Sie das selber auf dem Bild bei Minute 0:20 zeigen und man es auf vielen Fotos von der Pride of Baltimore II sehen kann und wie es im Buch The Young Sea Officer's Sheet Anchor von Darcy Lever auf Seite mit der sogenannten Fig. 354 dargestellt ist. Das Vorliek dieser Leesegel wurde auf einigen Schiffen wie bei den Rahsegeln mit einer "Bugleine" geführt. FRAGE 4°) Bedeutet das, daß man mit diesen mit "Bugleine" geführten Leesegeln auch auf Amwindkursen segeln konnte?

Could you just have forced the epoxy into the split without the spline? The rough split edges would make a good "keyed " in surface bond.

Beautiful Angels

Not just in the areas you mentioned - also common and built in the Pacific Northwest. In 1957, my father in law had one 16 foot... caught several salmon on that boat.

Hi Ian, what is your opinion of a carvel planked hull that is glassed over from the waterline down? Yes or no? Rosco

Love it!!

Mine is a bowsprit in Australia as It is fixed. Cutter rigged sloop. I would like to add a net at the front, but the sides are too small. I have seen wooden extenders poles out both side to attach a wider net. If you get involved in one of these, could you post that please.
