Starting A Proper Boat Build | Building Temptress Ep1

I am starting a full size Temptress boat build!!! Let's take a look at the shape of things to come, sort out some space and get the first timber delivery in!

- Project sponsors -
Firstly I want to say a huge thank you to the following sponsors that are helping to reduce the materials cost for me on this build in order to help me get things moving! Current project sponsors are:

- Ways that you can support -
Getting this project pushed to completion will be difficult I am sure, but with the support of you guys I am confident I can make that happen :)

I hugely appreciate any support that you are able to offer in order to make this possible and will look to try and return that to you wherever possible. Be that through making great videos, inspiring, entertaining or teaching you something along the way. Hey, maybe even all of the above!

If you would like to support this project and help me make it happen then here are a handful of ways that you can do just that...

- Just watching the videos -
By simply watching the videos that helps them to do well, watching all the way to the end, dropping a comment and a like also helps to tell YouTube that they are worth showing to others :)

- Support the channel and project on Patreon -

- Buy yourself some Temptress merch -

- Buy yourself a set of Temptress model or full size plans -

- About the Project -
Temptress is an all new modern wooden 24' runabout designed and kitted to utilise the latest in CNC cutting technology and modern epoxy wooden boat building. In this series I am aiming to showcase the systems that I have implemented within this design and throughout my other boat plans.

Exciting !! Can’t wait to see the full scale come together and the model finished as well.

[Harko-]

Very exciting news, and great to hear you found some sponsors!

[pedrovandeneeden]

This is awesome, really excited to see the build start!

[raymondwood]

Love the channel Dan, learned so much from you already! Just got my frames setup on the building form for my Glen L Barrel back this weekend. Regards from Jacksonville FL, USA

[AMSRocker]

Dan you are the man! Amazing! You have been thinking about this build for a long time. Get after it buddy!

Love it :D Definitely going to follow :D

[markpalmer]

Crack on!! Howdy from Texas, Dan. Following very closely and appreciate your work, very much.

[edwardh]

I didn't see your CNC setup but checkout "Arctic Sea Camel". Great to see that you're embarking on the full size boat. We'll be following along.

Beautiful intricate workmanship, Dan !!! … do you ever use 3M Marine Premium Filler for minor fairings ??

[edwardhaigh]

I'm struggling to contain my excitement, cheers from Australia.

[IantheWoodcraftsman]

Great job, Dan. I'll be following your progress with great interest. Cheers, Ian.

[lionelfournier]

Fantastic news Dan!
Very eager to following this build

[kenlloyd]

Looking forward to this! By the way, your quarter scale version is still the real thing, just a really small boat.

[ThaJay]

It's insane, I would expect your Temptress videos to get at least 10x the views. Your video quality easily deserves 50-100k views per episode. I hope the algorithm picks up and I wish you loads of success with the build. Can't wait to see more.

[GLF-Video]

Looking forward to seeing your work!!!

[allanbroadhurst]

Finally 😊 I have been waiting for this for what seems like ages. Really looking forward to seeing this beautiful design come to life.

[Polymerman]

Well done Dan! I look forward to following along and learning. And placing bets for when you will pass me up.

[BoatbuildingIndia]

Amazing very nice Boat ⛵ Good work ❤ my favorite channel.... love you... form Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰

[DaveWood-yo]

Hi Dan, are you stopping the 1/4 scale build now it will be a shame if you are as those of us who want to build the model would love to see the planking, decking etc. Great videos learned so much. Thanks

[Bierrr]

Would you be able to build a temptress using plywood instead where you use solid boards given the same thickness? Especially looking at the frames
