Working as a big steel shipbuilder, then to wooden boat restorations I can appreciate the great job being done here, well over 40 years ago when I started this kind of instruction was not even heard of. Great job.
Rich Dodson says:
So well-instructed and illustrated! Over four decades of reading nautical fiction and non-fiction, I have often wondered about these various parts of structure. Now I know! Thank you!!
William Stanard says:
Sam Manning would be proud of Sean’s work and ease of explanation.
Dave Dickmeyer says:
Just watching him draw the plan view of the boat so easily is inspirational! What a tremendous talent. Thanks for number four in the series, can’t wait for more installments!
William McCaffrey says:
I have ready and studied many of the traditional boat building books, even built several small boats, but none of this has been so well documented and elegantly presented as this series. An owner and/or builder of wooden boats would be well served to watch this series.
william burnham says:
Very nice well thought out. Thanks
John Holscher says:
Very well done! I’ll have to go back and watch the previous videos and keep an eye out for future episodes.
Bliss Rufo says:
Love Sean’s videos.So young and super smart!
Lannis Morris says:
If I could draw freehand as symmetricately as he, I would give up all my other dreams and become an artist. The heck with boatbuilding. Just kidding😆. One jealous onlooker.
