If you’ve been a YouTube fan or TotalBoat customer for longer than a bit, then you’re likely a fan of our old friend, Lou Sauzedde. We were lucky to collaborate on the video and boatbuilding series, the TotalBoat Skiff and the TotalBoat Dory with Lou in past years, and we are beyond excited to announce that we have found Lou and are signed back up for more awesome boat building content with Bristol Shipwrights, his new endeavor. Lou and an old salty friend of his, Ken Boyle, have taken on the building and documenting of Ken’s classic Alden 43′ schooner that blends modern innovations like plastic frames (Lou’s favorite) and fiberglass floors with traditional materials and unique woodworking techniques. We are excited to introduce you to Lou’s latest endeavor and invite you to subscribe to his new channel and follow Ken and Lou along in their latest journey! You can bet that TotalBoat is following along and supporting their efforts as well!
Delighted that Lou is back!! I have learned a lot from Lou over the years and, coincidental, I have struggled with resawing so it’s timely.
Keep it up Lou, looking forward to each session
Love Lou’s work.
As a small Boat and Canoe builder I am really excited to see more of Lou and his work. Lou is not only a true Craftsman but a Teacher as well .
Thank You Total Bot and Jamestown for doing these fine Videos

Looking great learning a lot thanks
Looking forward to the “Orca” project!
Great to see Lou back again! Have enjoyed his previous boatbuilding series and I’m sure I will enjoy this new one as well as learn some new building techniques.
Always great to watch and learn from a master.
Wow! Tips from a Shipwright and now Bristol Shipwrights.A double dose of Lou &Co.is great!9
Love Lou and his work ,all that was missing was Lou saying “Ta Da !”
A true Master …love to watch, listen learn from him.
lou- i’m pleased you are back. I have a handfull of redevil scrapers fro being a contractor that i still use, and a handfull of carbide scrapers that are awesome for 1/2 hr and can’t be shapened. You’re so right!
Great to have Lou back! Love the low key, unassuming, knowledgeable manner of his explanations. Great Zen for these troubled times. And, we learn boat building too.
