Dave clearly explains lofting, scarfing, and fiber glassing. He covers the big mystery of lapstrake and the details of midplanks, deckbeams and bulkheads, and he doesn't forget decks, hatches, sheer setting and false stems.

This DVD is a good introduction to glued lapstrake boatbuilding. David Nichols does a nice job presenting each section clearly. I was a little disappointed after viewing it. His methods for the interior provide for a very strong boat, but are very messy and a bit sloppy looking. This is not the definitive video on glued lapstrake like the Newfound Boatworks videos are to cedar strip boatbuilding. It is still the only one out there on glued lapstrake, so I commend him for that. I am glad I rented it, but it is not a video I would want to buy or see again.
Good video. The sound, lighting, and camera work are very good. The instruction is clear and informative. The tips and tricks are what I was looking for, and I was not dissapointed. On the down side, his work was sloppy. Would I buy a boat from him? No. Would I rent any of his videos? Yes!
