I’ve. Been a Framer for 22 years, my company builds the highest end homes in Los Angeles. I’ve learned more from you in a year of watching your videos than 22 years on the field. You are amazing, I have nobody to teach here, there are no craftsman left in Los Angeles, I hope there is someone where you are to teach so true craftsmen don’t disappear. You taught me that’s for sure. So with that I would like to say, thank you very much

I am a kid again every time I take my Serenity 3 out and smell the varnish and fresh paint! I have traveled all over the world but only find peace in my wood boat. I worked for Starrett as Education Manager, and know measurements, yet I sit eyes wide open and watch you work. Great job keep it up.

We all know what a master Mr Sauzedde is, but I was very surprised at how LIGHT this dory sits in the water, even with the multiple layers for the bottom. Francis is not only an artisan, but a great engineer. Anyone would be hard put to improve on this awesome design. Really a pleasure to see the man himself finally take this baby out for a maiden voyage. That thing FLIES! Thank you very much for all the knowledge and entertainment Mr. Sauzedde. Can't wait to see what's up next.

It's such a real beauty, I love how the wood paint and insides, as you would say, "Just Pops"! You guys have done a superb job and it really shows. What a classic Sport Dory and what a fun show you guys produce. It's always a real pleasure to what you work and teach. Thank you guys so much for the enjoyment you give all of us. Also I love the location of the area surrounding the shop, it's so beautiful. Thanks again, Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith Noneya

Also enjoyed the golden light of the setting sun. Really works of art, the boat and the photography! You both have been an inspiration to me. After the skiff build I started building my own boat a 10' dingy. I just finished it and launched it last month.(posting video next week) It is true , like you, I was trilled to get in it and ROW, ROW, ROW and have lots of childhood memories flooding in.

I don't know if I'll ever get to build a boat, but I watch every series just to learn tips and tricks for my everyday woodworking. I went to a vocational high school where I learned much of what I know about woodworking now that I'm using in my full time career and my teacher was an old wood boat builder much like yourself (he learned up in Lubec, ME). To have you being one of the guys who continues to teach me just seems appropriate :)

HEY Lou from TN . I got up bright and early on a cool day (40s) and found the last video and that is one sweet boat. Now I will go to EBAy and see what others think. I will not bid but have a good time seeing the biding. I watched you row and having fun with my mouth hanging open. The boat glides over the water. I watched a chap over in the UK that has a small boat he sails and camps along the canals. He compared his little boat with a yacht and said dollar for dollar the little boat was far more enjoyable. At 82 years old I build boat models not boats and have always loved the water. I enjoy the videos and can say yours are the only ones that I do not turn down or off the sound EXCELLENT!

I have little by little watched all of your videos. There is something about watching a craftsman utilizing their skill set that I enjoy. The wealth of knowledge you share in these videos is priceless. Even though I do not plan on building my own boat, I must say it has been very educational watching how boats are built, what all the various parts are called, and you have a pleasant personality that makes your videos even more interesting. Thank you for making these videos, it has been a pleasure to watch and very informative.
