I just binged watched 4 hours worth of your episodes. You're production quality of these videos is incredible, and they're just right balance of showing your work vs talking about it. Thank you for the hard working in putting these videos out - and let's hope you're efforts are rewarded with 10x the views / subscribers by the end of the year.

Every time I watch your videos I seem to find some little trick or idea that I had never considered but is just genius. The toilet bowl ring for waxing screws is one I can put to use immediately. Thank you Bob for all that you share.

Love your work. This is what PBS was meant to be. Just a person in a shed with their tools.

@TheClBlues 5 years ago

Fine work, fine tools and fine tricks to achieve this beauty !
Your videos are a real pleasure to follow, even the music is not necessary compared to your explanations and the cool noise of tools !
I can't wait to see the next one, but don't hurry Bob, keep this so enjoyable calm rythm.

Magnificent craftsmanship. I love watching you work. Thank you Bob.

PBS needs to give you a show!

Very nice craftmanship and attention to detail.

Not sure why I chose this episode to make this comment but it is incredibly satisfying watching your boat coming together! I am late to your videos; I learned of you from Acorn to Arabella.
Since I am watching your videos in order I haven’t seen whether you paint the underside of the bow deck and bed it since it’s supposed to be watertight. I have a couple of 95-year old wood-canvas canoes that I’ve recanvased so I at least have some knowledge of how to stretch canvas!

Calm and methodical as always. I love watching your work.

Kind regards from Izmir, Turkey sir. I have learned a lot from you. What you're doing is precious for guys like me who wants to build his own sail boat.

@Tedarex83 5 years ago

Wow! Great way to start a frosty Saturday. Thanks!

So satisfying to see the small aft deck edge pieces fit in

@thomasarussellsr 5 years ago

I am surprised you didn't paint the deck panels, undersides and edge, before screwing them down. It is your boat, and the plans call for a canvas covering, but I would have loved to see bright worked wood striped decks. Of course, those might still be going on top of the canvas. (I hope).
Great trim work, lining out the cuts to fit perfectly. I love watching you work. Your meticulously accurate work, that anyone can follow, is a joy to watch. You are a great craftsman and teacher. See you on the next edition/video.

@dalegaren3515 5 years ago

I enjoy watching build your boat. I’m surprised you didn’t paint the underside of the decks.

@StoneGroveMusic 5 years ago

I'm really enjoying your project/videos. Such a beautiful boat! It's a joy to watch it come together

@surprising321 5 years ago

Thank you Bob, love to watch you and your craftsmanship.

@fonhollohan2908 5 years ago

@MCsCreations 5 years ago

Amazing work, Bob! It's getting even more beautiful! 😃
Nicely done!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Gonna go grab my coffee real quick then watch this. Going to be a gooood morning!

@davidc6510 4 years ago

Lot's of fine progress Bob. I was curious as to why you did not add butt blocks under the deck seam for added strength. Great videography in your videos. Thanks for sharing!
