    Eric, very nice demonstration ! P.S.: Never really thanked you guys for helping me w/ “Eider” two yrs ago ! But thanks ! Gene

  • Mike Smith says:

    Eric, I had heard that the oil in Teak interferes with epoxy, and you can get delaminations. I’ve heard that urethane glue like Gorilla Glue is better for teak. Anyone else with experiences like this? Mike

  • Jan Bel says:

    I love it. Although I can not make it myself that way because I do not have the machines for it but I am looking forward to part 2ay.

  • Reiner Gudd says:

    I love those hands on videos. Thanks for sharing. I repaired a tiller not long ago but might make a new one after seeing how you do it. You are a lucky man working with timber on timber boats
    All the best for 2017
    cheers from Australia

    Looking forward to part 2.
    Could you tell me the manufacturer of that scraper? I could use that!

    • Mark Rhynold says:

      Sold at Jamestown Distributers as Bahco scraper.

  • Jay Knight says:

    Great to see this process. I have made parts (amateurish) to this point, then break out the belt sander with mixed results. Looking forward to seeing the best way to shape items!

    Thanks a bunch
