Warm that shop! The wood won't cool as fast! 

[PolygonmanTV]

GREAT!

[tiredlight]

Metal screws into the wood? Come on guys, you can do better :-)

[brahmthexton]

@tiredlight they're bronze, its a very common practice.

[rolloverriderpgr]

@brahmthexton The screws will not "work out" from the movement of the hull as nails will. Nails will be used for finish work and ribbed ones work better as they won't work out as fast as straight shafted nails will.

@tiredlight What do you suggest ? Clinched copper nails ?

[oceantrolls73]

good job! thanks for posting.

We were using yellow ceder. We prefer white oak though -- when you get into wine-glass transoms yellow cedar can be troublesome. But if you are going to use yellow cedar, there should be no knots, even discoloration can suggest a c___k, discoloration can be a sign of rot, also we found that over 7/16ths thickness and over steaming with yellow cedar will make your life very difficult. Remember the direction of the grain too. The science is in the design, practicallity is in the shop.

what kinda wood

[zacksentry]

this seems terribly un-scientific. Or maybe you've just done it a few times.

[christiandaldy]

Really nice woodshop!

The question about duration and temp in steam box and the thickness of the wood can be found in tables in books on woodworking.

[ussyless]

what wood do you use? does it matter?

[Palmaa2009]

Great! Thank you to share it. Just some questions: what wood did you used? It is possible used to hard ? The chamber was made in wood or metal? Tkank Aurelio- Brazil

[superdave98008]

Did you say 'rib up about' or 'rib up a boat'?

[superdave98008]

We're gonna rib up a boat, we're aboat half way through...

[SthealthRaider]

hmm? how did you buiild the hull without the ribs?

[JustWonderingHowToDo]

Could you tell something more about how the steamer is constructed?

[brahmthexton]

@JustWonderingHowToDo It really doesn't have to be complex... we used a keg on a big propane burner, the steam goes up a pipe into a box. You don't want the box to be completely air tight, you need the steam to circulate. A google search will bring up a lot of info for you. Thanks for watching!

@brahmthexton Interesting to watch, My great grand dad had a weaver bending buisness in Ohio beginning of 20th century. Never had an idea of how it worked

[rolloverriderpgr]

@JustWonderingHowToDo You can also use 12" PVC pipe with both ends having the screw on ends drill a few holes in the end opposite where the steam line goes in.

[AngelBearOH]

How long do you leave the ribs in that steamer cabinet?

[brahmthexton]

@AngelBearOH 1/2 hour

[witeliduche]

Hello guys! What is the relationship between the time of baking wood and its thickness? Please give directions: Electronic books, paper books or somthing!

[brahmthexton]

@witeliduche We do about 1 hour per inch thickness. The ribs are around 1/2 inch thick so about 30 minutes.

[witeliduche]

I've sent you message in pm!!!

[JRENTROIA]

Parabéns pelo trabalho.

[MrLeonard55]

Cool

[bigmuso123]

Nice , but more productive if you thread it through , not press it down.

[nason86]

very impressive gentlemen...

[johnnyboy922]

im looking into steam bending to make the back arch for a rocking chair. my buddy just left for the army so i can sulk... but i chose to take up woodworking instead lol

[camdenbuck]

Awesome! Haven't gotten to the ribs yet but I am starting on a doryt at home (without plans) and like to watch how the pros do it for pointers.

[robinhoodfromhun]

It is the job of my dreams!

[Licinius34]

what type of wood did you use to make the ribs from?

[brahmthexton]

This boat had yellow cedar ribs although the usual wood to use would be white oak. The yellow cedar is traditional rib material for these parts (coastal British Columbia).  Thanks for watching!

[fg41395]

sure is beautiful! GREAT JOB!!

[123HURST]

Boat builders have to be first rate woodworkers, there's barely a straight line in the whole boat.

[sheepsfoot2]

@123HURST what are you on about ?.......hes building a boat , not an extension to his house..the planks follow the lines of the hull,that's what the steam is for .....

your a fucking dickhead..why don't you just shut your mouth..build your own boat, then upload it on YOUTUBE.....loser.........trol­l.

[LudwigNyman]

@123HURST

Don't underestimate luthiers.

[TuskAmerica]

Excellent!

[budulis5]

how much it took time to built a 17 century galeon with aprox 40 guns in old days, who can answer ? i just amazed people have a lot of patience

[jhull54]

Very pretty little boat! let's see more.
