2 Complete Boat Builds: Row Boat & Canoe 

My brother got me into boat building. Started with an 8’ dingy, and now we are on the back stretch of building a 14’ nesting sailing tender for his sail boat. It truly is a test of tenacity to finish these projects! Great work sir!

Джимми! Очень круто! Много лет смотрю твои видео и не перестаю восхищаться и удивляться твоим талантам, причем, во всех сферах жизни! За что бы ты не брался, все у тебя получается ладно и здорово - просто мастер «золотые руки». Удачи тебе и дальше, здоровья и благополучия тебе и твоим близким!🤝

I just watched this whole thing again. Always a pleasure watching you do your thing Jimmy.

Nice little Sunday night watching a 2 hour compilation of builds I’ve already watched several times. Now my daughter wants me to build a boat 😂

Such a talented artist and craftsman. I'm still blown away by what you were able to create in that cramped basement in the city. Now that you have your dream shop, the possibilities are endless. Well done, Sir.

Yarr shiver me timbers! Ye be a great boat builder! 🏴‍☠️

Absolutely STUNNING builds! 👏👏🛶🛶

Great build Jimmy. I think you agree with me that the scarf joints on those long strips could’ve been made longer so there’s more face-to-face area for the glue to grab better

Thanks for sharing

I would have recommended doing shiplap jointing, but since it's a boat and you had directions and even finished it instead of giving it up to a fire, I guess you're good to go. 😂Beautiful work. 👍

So Jimmy what’s next, a yacht 🛥️. Nice project young man how you manage to do all sorts of things free hand has me in awe 🫢

Gorgeous!

Thanks Jimmy for this Sunday Video. I will be starting my Bobs Special 16’ this coming fall…

Watch all your videos glad I found you cheers! 🍻

My brothers and I built a sailboat with our mom in the 70s. It was heavy and dangerous. Fun memories though. She passed away earlier this month. RIP.

Awesome builds! Great work as usual.

How did I miss the @HandToolRescue cameo the first time? Hilarious

Jimmy, you need to build a bamboo Fly Rod to go with that beautiful boat.

In the UK we call it a surf foam.

Oh Carolina 😁

Man you're so good, I bet you could make an army tank float

1:26:21 that Hand Tools Rescue cameo just made my day! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Both the row boat and canoe look awesome Jimmy! Does anyone here know: how the heck did the old timers build these, before TiteBond and TotalBoat?

Jimmy, I know it's more work, but your narratored videos are better

1:26:20 Hand Tool Rescue, spotted 😆

“I don’t think it’s safe as it already isn’t” is a great line and has probably been said on many a job site

Hey man, I love your videos. Can you make a supercut of this? Sorry to complain, its just a kinda long video

Jimmy, this was a nice way to spend the evening. Thanks for sharing your wonderful world with us! hUgz from Ohio, Lee

Curious how this one will perform I always try a asmr version and a voiceover version sometimes one don’t perform it’s like a second pull. Nice compilation to make to.

AYO! JIMMY! Qk ? Where can I find your old videos from that basement/lower shop right by the street I think it was. Anyways, the cramped n cozy spot... older vids...

Wow! You're an expert craftsman. This was a very impressive video. That's why I subscribed years ago. You never cease to amaze me. Thank you sir. See ya in the next one. I'm rootin fer ya!

In 1985 I helped my dad put a cabin on a 21' Lake Superior fishing skiff. It's now in a museum in my home town. Great memories building that with my dad. Thanks for sharing your builds Jimmy D.

Hello to Hand Tool Rescue!

I want so much to build a canoe, but I don’t have the space or the time. One of these days though.

Instead of carolina you should name it DAS BOOT

Beautiful work, Jimmy. The almost 2-hour video went by quite fast. Lots of good tips and techniques. You have a great knack for finding solutions to complex problems!

I really love these video and would be delighted to see another one, maybe again together with Nick Offerman

I love to upcycle too and have learned so much from you throughout the years. Sincerely, thank you.

Jimmy, I've been watching your videos for years and years, and you've always impressed me with your skill and your ability to just get the job done and not get lost in the tiny minutia that can bog down a project. But this is an entirely different level, so impressive, and SO MUCH WORK! This is a lifetime achievement, I hope you're really proud with what you've made here, this is incredibly inspiring!

They are both works of art! Love that you used the reclaimed wood from the porch. I think your next challenge should be adding a sail to them! Outriggers, a rudder and tiller. 😁

Two Gorgeous works of Art. Jimmy is the Best.

1:13:37 Eish... that beautiful boat, and then it gets paddled around in that green scum. Come to Michigan and find some clean clear water!

Hello Mr. Jimmy. My name is Luiz Antonio, I live in the extreme south of Brazil. I've been subscribed to your RU-vid channel for a long time, I really like your work. Here in Brazil we have difficulty obtaining projects of this type of Canoe. Can you offer these projects with plans so I can build a similar canoe?

Absolutely beautiful! I can’t say this enough… I love to watch you make stuff! A wealth of knowledge and talent. The amount of patience you have is second to none.I always look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing. I have learned so much from you.

I remember watching those boat builds. Great work Jimmy! 👍👍🛶🛶

Hi guys, I didnt get the name of the european diresta, jimi swis ? Thats what I heard, good podcast, i'm at the middle of your 400 ++ episodes. Nice to hear you when i'm on my shop, greetings from Chile. 🤟

Desde argentina..sos un genio..aprendo mucho de vos.. abrazo grande

There's no red port left, i.e. red lights and port are on the left. :) Beautiful boats :) I have absolutely no interest in making one and I don't really like small boats but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this :) I like your speed of presentation and your trust of the viewers to understand what you're doing. The narration is instructive and also funny with the winging it :)

Wer Bruder du bist ist egal. Du machts super Video und wir allle können dem folgen

I feel like you need some sort of merch that says "Nothing/everything is (un)safe if that's how you do it." Or some form of that sentiment.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

good to see that you think about waste when making templates, that bourbon moth dude would spend like 3 sheets of birch to get that right and scrapping it afterwards

You could name the boat after two of the sponsors. Tite Carolina! Sorry Total Boat. 😉

Absolutely incredible build ⭐

I’m trying to find these boots and they aren’t on the Carolina Shoe website. Got a link?

Amazing very nice a wooden boat building ❤ Best contact 🌹 my favorite channel ❤ love you form Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰

4/29/24..ahh yes Jimmy..A+ ..just watched yur long video of B o t h boat builds 👍! Saw t Canoe build a while ago, loved it, now this 17 ft. skiff mage from your old > salvaged/saved < front porch DougFir. Great shape & tons & tons of hours invested in this skiff project. Always great lighting, splice editing, close-up of tools, big band saw, table saw, sanders... & chemicals/epoxies/finishes. Also could see gradual transformation of interior of yur big wood working shop from Canoe to Skiff video via background items. So much enjoyed this selected FF & Voice over production method..think it fits the YT audience like me..78 yrs, retired (background: USAF Radar ATC, oil field downhole tools & now active handy man). Kinda anxious to see status of your Cemetery house Re-structure/Remodel. That is a major project...I think easier than this Skiff build !🎉 Stay safe & carry on !👍✅️🍺😊

WOW! Phenomenal Builds, Phenomenal Series!!! You're so Very Talented Jimmy, you've Mastered Art & Functionality! Such Beautiful Work, Thank you for Sharing!!! 👍👍❤️❤️❤️

Finishing is hard. nothing can be more true...

Damn Jimmy that thing is beautiful! I feel stupid. I Didn't realize that fiberglass is translucent always thought that raw wood boats were just coatings

Oh my God, I needed this. A 2 hour video. Life sucks lately, and any distraction is cherished. Side note: when my wife worked in CT in 2022, I'd drive there from syracuse and always took the long way. I drove past the go kart property. I really wish I'd had a chance to stop and meet you, sir

Incrível Jimmy , sou do sul do Brasil sou inscrito em seu canal a bastante tempo, deixo sempre um like em seus videos é o mínimo que posso fazer por compartilhar tanto conhecimento. You are the real "GODFATHER" thanks man !! 💪

This guys workmanship is almost surreal . Finish what you start ! . Thanks man , for this work of art . Regards from UK . Dave

Big win for you and the wood... they got a second life :D

I have that exact same rasp. It’s friggin great. Rough shaped a tomahawk handle with it. Chewed through wood like it was grating cheese.

Very cool. The part on the deck you call a wind screen is actually to deflect any water that may come over the bow off to the sides. Boats for white water have tall ones... sometimes curved, sometimes V shaped.

enable subtitles. The world sees your videos! success....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🚀🚀

Great video. Thanks Jimmy. Can you make a video of restoring the motor? That would be a fun one to watch.

I'm always impress when you do a nice project. Good job Jimmy👍👍👍

Fairing the hull is tedious, but oh, so worth the trouble. Beautiful craftsmanship.

Новый логотип :" ДИРЕСТА-ХУЕСТА"💪
