In the late 1980s, I was travelling in Malaysia. In Moluccan, I wandered down by the riverside and was transfixed by the Malay craftsmen building Dhows and Junks, all wood hulls, but with large diesel engines as well as masts for sails (going by the ones anchored in the stream waiting repair). The wood was spectacular, I don’t know where they got it, but some of the balks would have been worth $6,000+- in the US. Obviously threatened tropical hardwood species AND Teak!
It's interesting how they still work with simple tools and build their ships. Amazing is something different. The large battleships of the English or the Spanish armada that was amazing, but this here is simple improvised with the tools available to do a job as good as possible.
The cubic area in this boat is huge. What a great live aboard it would be but a problem to haul out & repair or service. Not practicle in a cold climate area. Love the ornate wood work. Got to say its hard work & craftmanship is terrific. Good job guys.
Wow! These people are incredible. Five men are needed to rough cut timber at the band saw. I love all of the colors and the building methods. It is very satisfying to discover these videos from all over the world.
Good work lads. Just show this video to a Workplace Health and Safety inspector in Ireland. It will be an epic sight.. It's amazing how these lads still have all their 10 fingers and toes.
Здравствуйте уважаемые. Рожден в г.Керчь, Крымская область, СССР. Очень часто помогал в строительстве лодок и катеров. Самостоятельно делал , с взрослыми каноэ и байдарки. Ремонтировали их в мастерских. Ремонтировали весельные лодки и ялы. В судомодельном кружке, участь в школе, делали модели. Набирали основания и обшивали наборы. Все производство, от начала до завершения создает восхищение в полном отсутствии Техники Безопасности, одежды и обуви, головных уборов. Отсутствие понимания полного о дисциплине труда и место-нахождения во время любого отделения в производстве. Как распиловки древесины - идеальное отсутствие всех норм Безопасности. Полное отсутствие спец.одежды. Полное отсутствие инструмента. Кто учил делать так набор основания судна ??? Где обработка дерева ??? Кто старший на производстве ? Кто учил делать так набор бортов из досок ??? Это что здесь показан - дурдом ? Извините за дерзость, но даже дети в Советском Союзе, занимаясь в кружках - судо-модельных ! - знали как сделать набор парусника и как делаеться набор из досок бортов. Какая обработка дерева. Что за страна здесь хвастается своими "произведениями"? Труд любой - почетен - если он соответствует необходимому итогу.
I know Pakistan is great at cricket but never knew how good they are in this type of work, that's great craftsmanship, hats off to the people who did that marvelous piece of work!!
It is a testament to human ingenuity, but certainly not to craftsmanship. An incredible amount of sloppiness in parallel to an incredible amount of tenacity and we got a boat,... with a good pump it should be safe.
كنت أتفكر في قول الله تعالى بشأن سفينة نوح هذا اليوم وأنا أسترجع في ذهني آية وحملناه على ذات ألواح ودسر . كنت أفكر لما عنى الله تعالى السفينة تلك بوصفها أنها من الألواح. أنا متأكد بأن قوم نوح كان يركبون سفن الفولاذ والحديد بسبب وصف الله لتلك السفينة تحديدا. لا أتصور أبدا أن نبي الله نوح عليه السلام كان يحتاج إلى الوحي حتى يتمكن من صنع تلك السفينة . أضن أنه كان بيه أهل زمانه وأعلمه بصنعة وأحذقهم. أعجبت كثيرا بهذا النشاط
These are traditional fishing vessels from that part of Southeast Asia. These last decades with proper maintenance. You might want to google fishing vessels from that part of the world.
Wooden boats consume large quantities of timber but the construction of this boat if very flimsy, there should be at least double the number of frames and those present really are not strong enough. This boat would smash itself to bits in a rough sea. For an example in the days when Britain built wooden ships they were double planked, with soft wood planking laid down first with oak planking on top giving a thickness of at least 5 or 6 inches.
Did you watch it till the end? They do the planking first then add the frames. Look at 39:00 minutes in. Check out the deck caulking technique at 49:00 minutes.
I did a little research and found a Facebook page for them. Apparently they are used for fishing and cargo. I don't doubt some are bound to be yachts, though. Too awesome to not have one if you could afford it
Working barefoot in a boat with bolts sticking up everywhere ha got to make these guys as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
...... agik pakai alat penebuk lama dan perkekas lama dlm era moden .... sep;atutnya orang now semua tukang kapal pakai alat penebuk moden dan alat yg canggih ..... kerja laGI cepat dan kemas .....
what do you do with all the temporary drill holes you make for the braces? I see where the internal ribs are bolted in a nice straight line and sealed.
I cannot see any protection of the wooden hull against infestation by borers. The hull will last a maximum of 3-4 years. Then the worms (Teredo navalis to be precise) will have destroyed it. The lack of precision in construction is then compensated for by bilge pumps.
I am deeply impressed. Living on a 63 year old wood-in-wood bulit gaff rigged 2-master (37 feet). Beautiful lines these ships. Lets have respect for all Mariners around the globe, we are all a big family. Shipwrights in every part of our planet, on every continent have learnt their skills from generation to generation, adapted their handcraftsmanship to the needs of the sailors, crews, captains and ship owners in the relevant sea areas. I always appreciated and will love maritime cultures in every part of our planet, where they still can build boats, without using one single steel nail or modern epoxy glue. I have not known about Pakistan as a boat building nation till this clip. So thanks for sharing. Would be interesting to learn more about.
Think what they could do with Routers, and modern tools. Some of the tools looked like they were auctioned from jesus's estate. Got to give credit,. Carvings were eye-candy.
