Typically when leathering mast hoops and oars, we take a dowel and rub the stitches. It seats the stitches and smooths out the leather. Nicely done.

Indeed I did do that with the seam rubber. Somehow I missed the clip when editing. Thanks for mentioning it I does help smooth the seam. Thanks for watching. Bob

I confess I was expecting a more heavy duty leather and a box stitch but those look absolutely right for the oars.

Bob, beautiful work as always but somewhat surprised Steve chose to install an electric outboard motor on Victoria. My guess is your nicely built oars can always be used as a backup if something unexpectedly goes wrong with the outboard. Still, somewhat surprised he chose not to use them!

I’m so impressed at your finesse between lumbar fine joinery casting and leatherwork, you are truly a versatile craftsman. BTW how has the rear bulkhead coped with the EV motor Steve has been using, and are small outboards something you will be incorporating into your future projects? I would be quite interested in seeing a nested dingy if you are looking for a new challenge… Thanks for your tremendous work and generous and elegant explanations, you make it all look so achievable for us novices in KZfaq land.

@TheArtofBoatBuilding Жыл бұрын

Thanks Simon. One design feature I incorporated in Victoria was a racked transom (15 degrees) to allow for an outboard. Originally Steve insisted that he wasn’t going to have an outboard. I had a very strong feeling he would change his mind. So, to answer your question it was designed with an outboard in mind. I love the electric outboard. In fact I purchased components to convert an old runabout to electric. ( an upcoming video) Great luck that Epropulsion had a booth at the Wooden Boat Show. Thanks for watching! Bob

Great video. I just did this last weekend as well. I bought an old Dyer Dhow Midget from my neighbor and doing a bit of refurbishment. I varnished the oars a few weeks ago and then order the leather kits from Shaw and Tenney. I wish I would have waited until after I watched your video this week....several good tips that would have made the job easier. I didn't put tape on the leather before I place the glue for the button and made a bit of a mess. Oh well....good lesson for next time.

Excellent application of the leathers and buttons. They look great. Do you do anything to the leather to protect it from the water? As in varnish or oil? Got to see Victoria in the water while watching Arabellas video Friday. She is beautiful. You done good.👍👍 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

@charlesprettyman1398 Жыл бұрын

In the previous video, you calculate the inboard loom as 25-1/2” but then explain that the actual distance from the end of the oar to the padlock will be 22” so the oars do not overlap. In this video, you appear to forget that. The width of the leather will address that - but I’m curious why you didn’t center it at 22 after making that decision in the previous video.

Beautiful job on the oar leathers Bob. Hopefully Victoria uses open oarlocks as you did not install them before the buttons were installed. But than you are there and smarter than me,so you know how it is supposed to be. Can not wait to see her on the water.

Once the oars (and leathers) get wet and dry a few times in the sun, the leather will shrink even tighter.

@barneygoogle4003 Жыл бұрын

The oars look great. Is the spruce strong enough to withstand heavy pulling of the oars? It's good to know how to paddle a dinghy like a canoe by sitting backwards on the deck in the bow and paddling the boat backwards with an oar in case the other one breaks. You might be surprised how well this works if you haven't done it before. (I learned to paddle like that with a 4" wide board in an old abandoned rowboat in the pond across the railroad tracks from our house when I was a kid.)

It's interesting that the Greeks and Romans, followed by all Europeans, used oars and faced backwards, while the Polynesians and Inuit and other native Americans used paddles and faced forward.
