This guy is amazing. So many woodworking tricks.
I have no interest in building a 17' skiff, yet I couldn't stop watching.

Growing up in RI on Narragansett Bay I used to watch guys bull rake for quahogs (co-hogs) in these work skiffs.  We called them quahog boats.  No one ever went to a gym for exercises.  The guys working these rakes were jacked.

I sent it to my neighbor, you know, the crusty old engineer who has every tool and actually knows a little about everything....

He called me the next day. When I picked up he said, "You sonnuva *****..." and laughed. He watched about half of the ~43 episodes in one sitting. Just like me.
