Wooden boat restoration

Very interesting compilation video of wooden boat restoration in Norway.

Very interesting! I was struck by the fact that the boat builders seem to be quite young, which is awesome to see...I worry that the craftsmen with skills required to build these wooden beauties are a vanishing breed.

I have been watching the Youtube show on Sampson Boat Co. restoration project on an old sailing yacht. It has gone on for 5 years or so and features a young Brit that came over here to rebuilt the boat. Excellent woodworking show. I also got to watching "Acorn to Arabella" which is basically the same theme and very interesting.
