    I saw this video and another where he does woodworking and leather stitching. He does a nice job explaining why he does what he does. There are some bronze casting videos in there too. No affiliations other than admiration and a perhaps a bit of jealousy in that my shop is not that big nor well equipped...



    Bio from YT:

    The Art of Boat Building is a professionally produced video series about the creation and construction of wooden boats. Using a combination of traditional and modern methods, this hands on approach will focus on the aesthetics and beauty of wooden boat building. Join Bob Emser as he leads us through the process of boat building through the eye of an artist and craftsman.

    Bob Emser is an internationally lauded sculptor, having artwork on 5 continents, 8 countries and 27 states in the U.S. His extensive body of work, dating back to 1978, can be seen in cities and municipalities, sculpture parks, museums and institutions of higher learning. During his 40+ year career he has served as a visiting artist and has taught at several universities a held a tenured professorship. He was the founding president of Chicago Sculpture International. Emser’s sculpture has always been inspired by the construction and aesthetics of boats and their close cousin aircraft.

    Very good video. Nothing fancy or complicated. Effective tools, simple design and procedure.
