Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding – Time Lapse


Visit the school for more information: www.nwboatschool.org – This is a time-lapse video I created based on photos taken at 60 sec intervals for 4 months while at NWSWB. The large boat is a Cape Cod Catboat and behind it is an Edwin Monk Sunray Lake runabout. The time-lapse was done with a Nikon 8700, a DigiSnap 2000 from Harbortronics ( https ), and a lot of patience.

    I have been seeing around for vids, that show how boats are made, and right before I saw this video, I was like “God, why can’t there be any good videos that show everything, and not only pics from the process, and then I came across this vid. . . :) THnx

    What do you do with your wooden boat building degree? That would be great to learn such a craft, but could you actually be hired?

    try a library. thats what i’m going to do tomorrow. probably get 3 or 4 good ones with a lot of pictures. i have learned a lot lately by reading d. i. y. books at the library. i want to build a 14-16 ft boat to go fishing this spring.

  22. ThrashingBuddha says:

    erm, does any of you guys know where i can learn this boatbuilding?
    i have limited carpenterexperience and live in belgium, though i’m willing to go overseas to learn this.
    cheers, lads

    Get thee to WoodenBoat Magazine’s online forum– [ woodenboat(dot)com/forum ]
    There’s lotsa guys in your position welcomed kindly there, by a serious group of VERY knowlegeable ”old salts”. I don’t post there – just read. But I learn something new/interesting/inspiring every time I click in. Google search the domain name for just about any question you have (the Forum’s search is lousy). Earlier ”noobs” there have likely asked something related, and gotten some very good info.

    I am in the same position, j3. Fairly accomplished woodworker no experience with boats and I’ve fallen in love with catboats. I want to tackle a small one to start oh. . say 14 ft. I tried the yahoo discussion group but there has been no posts since 2007. Anyone know of a patient group who can tolerate my for simple and sometimes stupid questions?
    I just want to learn.

    I’ve been looking online a lot recently. This video, and many others just make me want to switch from residential architecture to wooden boat building. I’ve loved wooden boats ever since the 10th grade when I began learning about the Phoenicians. Great video.
