40' Wooden Lobster Yacht Survey with Shipwright Louis Sauzedde (Part 2)

are you ever going to do a meet-and-greet for all of your fans?

I'm looking at a dry docked wooden lobster boat is there something I should look for I don't know about

You mentioned epoxy to protect that forefoot there, what are your views on epoxy sheathing older (structurally sound) wooden hulls ?

i was looking around at some wood working videos and came a crossed your very interesting videos, very intelligent fellow, great videos!

Dorrito worms they exist!!!

"The haught of the timbah"...love it!  Good information. Thanks again, Lou.

I,m an english lobster fisherman with an iroka on oak boat, never heard the term "checks" what does it mean please?

you are a master at your trade!! thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Always awesome!

Hey man thanks for the tips you really know your stuff...Quick question I own a pontoon houseboat and the roof/ top deck needs repair (a few soft spot and spots were the fiberglass has come loose from the wood). its a plywood deck with fiberglass and 3 layers of paint on top thats peeling off ...if tried sanding the paint off but it doesn't come off easy because its a uneven surface with multiple layers of old paint..the plain is to remove all old paint make the repairs needed then re resin with color add ...the main issue im having is the paint removal cause the boat is docked so i cant just sand blast it off cause it would make a big mess at the marina .

My Question For You Is : Would a propane heat gun be to much heat for removing the paint off the fiber glassed plywood deck...

If so can you recommend any other tips for removing the multiple layers off paint of the uneven surface

Thanks

Great detective work! If I lived your way I would offer to apprentice for a year without pay just for the knowledge. I have been reading and teaching myself traditional boat building methods for the past ten years. I have built various skiffs and tenders, but want to build a ~20 ft sail boat using a mix of traditional methods with use of modern materials. I would appreciate any advice and reference material you can provide. I'm a big fan of this channel and your work.

it's interesting to watch a real problem work

Wonderful, wonderful series. Love your work.

Holly Cow, does that shipwright have an Opinel 8 in his pocket! 😉 really like all of your videos. Thank you.

Did Louis used to ride an old Harley with a suicide shifter? I remember a shipwright that would come work on Intrepid at the marina I worked at for a summer. He was really good and rode an old Harley.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

The owner of this boat was lucky to have such an experienced and knowledgeable Shipwright to check it out.

Louis, thanks for sharing your amazing wealth of knowledge. Keep up the good works, thumbs up.

wow, thanks Lou so much for sharing so much of your knowledge. This has to be an absolute must for any wooden boat owner or potential owner to view. I've been watching these for sometime and always amazed the depth of your wisdom.......

Simply inspiring! I hope one day to be that knowledgeable about my craft.

Infinite wisdom.
