Mark Steffens says:
Love the videos. Also especially like that there is no music in the intro or anywhere…the audio is nice also hearing the sound of the woodworking or water lapping against the boats, etc. Well done.

Can’t say enough about how great these videos are! The one on beveling the stem inspired me to immediately get a power planer for the same job on my wooden Lightning build. It will undoubtedly save my ancient arms and elbows thousands of planing strokes on my build. Please keep the boat building instructional videos coming! They are educational and inspirational.

These videos are great!
Just as a side comment- in fairing off my keelson to match the desired angle between stations, I clamped a lining batten across the stations, and up against the keelson sides. Then, I marked along the length of the keelson with a pencil at the bottom of the batten between the stations. This gives you a very accurate line to follow along that edge.
