In the continuing series of building the Joel White designed Haven 12 1/2 Bob Emser, boat builder, guides us through the process of sealing the carvel planked hull as apart of making it water tight.

The professionalism, precision and the high standards shown are absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for the videos!

Another episode that I am just in AWE over the professional nature of this series. The focus on sharing the experience with the craftsmanship is everything that makes these stand out. This is for sure one of the best series on building anything that I've watched on you YouTube, reminds me of watching Norm on Yankee Workshop.

I know it's not rocket science but a 10 to 1 mix is just over 9%

at 9 minutes, Bob is channelling Bob Ross...

Hey Bob! That was a nice recap of the last episode and a great tip to mirror the waterline stripe. I really enjoyed the instrumental background music that was a rift on your intro song and the other pieces throughout the video. You editing choices on the segment masking the seams & paying the compound where you integrated real time and time lapse was well done, enjoyable to watch, and satisfying to see the task completed. Maybe too much of a commentary but it was great to see how the non-boatbuilding skills part of your channel have really grown during my binge watching of this season. Well done, looks great, and thanks for sharing.

Bob, you are a master craftsman, and you are just a superb and generous teacher. Thank you for all of these videos. Bless you in all that you do.

What color to paint the boat? I think it was one of the Herreshoffs who said: "There are only two colors to paint a boat: white or black, and only a damned fool would paint a boat black."

In any case this boat is already stunningly pretty. Very inspiring.

Thank you again Bob for another engaging video. Very nice work on the seam paying. Taping really does make for a cleaner looking job. The brown looked like pin striping against the white primer. Take care, stay well and here is hoping you have a nice fall.

Nice work Bob!

@jimjenkins673 5 years ago

Just awesome work. Thanks for class today sir.

A tall ship friend of mine from Maine once related the following anecdote about the color of a boat: "There are only two acceptable colors to paint the topsides of a boat - white or black. And only assholes paint their boats black." The real question is the color of the bootstripe!

It’s really coming along! Thank you for taking the time to shoot these videos, also thank you for taking the extra time to talk about the why’s and reasons for doing things!! This season is just as much educational as it is fascinating! Can’t wait for the next episode, and can’t wait to see keel piece installed!!!

I saw Bob on the Acorn channel a couple weeks ago. He's really an amazing craftsman! He's got the hands for the job, but he also makes great videos! Talent!

@jackdotzman2908 5 years ago

As always, you make very educative vids that are extraordinarily entertaining to watch. Thank you.

Thanks Bob; excellent progress!

@lizdini722 5 years ago

So glad to see you back, Bob. I was waiting not-so-patiently for the newest episode to come out. I love your videos. My Dad always had boats, so I grew up on the water up on Long Island NY. He was into motor boats, but water is water!

Дякую, Боб! Твої відео для мене — як заспокійливий засіб.
Бережи себе! Особливо бережи свої коліна. Застосовуй захист колін. А краще, підійми вище стапель. 😊
Сподіваюся, що з тобою усе гаразд.

Beautiful work, Bob! The boat is looking fantastic! 😃
Looking forward to the next video!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great instructional video. Thanks Bob. The spoon trick comes out better on the below water seam compound if you keep the spoon in a beaker of hot water. Dipping it in as you go keep it warm. Looking forward to your next episode and also your next tool making vid also. Cheers.
