Today we find Lou in his Open Door Boat Shop, shaping a piece of quarter sawn white oak into the skeg for the TotalBoat Sport Dory. Using a table saw, router, hand plane, and some sandpaper, Lou (as you would expect him to) expertly fits and shapes the oak and then attaches it to the Dory using Boat Life Life-Calk polysulfide sealant. Step into Lou’s boat shop and take part in the final stages of building the TotalBoat Dory. With only a few steps remaining, Lou is nearing completion with this build and the excitement is mounting as we prepare to see the boat afloat and being rowed by the master shipwright himself.
