    That StopWater/Dowel making is worth the time of watching.
    thanks, Glenn

    • Scott barnaby says:

      FANTASTIC!…….wish I were 20 again (75 now)…….I’d become a shipwright!
      Thx Peter….looking forward to future vids!

  • Burke Horner says:

    Well done, Peter! A one man show of meticulous precision!

  • Heinz Weber says:

    Looking forward for another great year of subscription

  • Robert Patterson says:

    Red lead is either hard or impossible to come by. What do you use on the stem after shaping? I assume to minimize checking?

  • Walter Allan says:

    Very clear and concise. Continually amazed at the amount of work, for instance, the stop-waters. Thanks for doing this series.

  • Ed Altonji says:

    I’m enjoying the very practical approach Peter uses. This is already my favorite OCH series for a power boat and I’ve seen them all. It’s tied with the Caledonia, my other favorite! Peter – thank you. OCH – keep doing what you’re doing!

  • Rick Jacks says:

    This series alone is more than worth the entire year’s subscription cost.
