How to Make a Caulking Wheel

In this episode of the Art of Boat Building show how to make a caulking wheel for caulking a wooden boat. This shipwright tool is used to press cotton caulking in the seams of tightly spaced Atlantic White Cedar planks. Small wooden sail boats that are carvel planked, like the Haven 12 1/2 generally have tight seams that require the use of a caulking roller. The hand crafted walnut handle is beautifully set off by the brass accents. “If you’re going to make it, make it beautiful.” -Bob Emser- Plans and Instructions at the Link: (downloadable .PDF) https://www.patreon.com/posts/44451978 Subscribe for more Boat Building from The Art of Boat Building: https://www.youtube.com/user/bobemser/featured?sub_confirmation=1 Share this video with a friend: https://youtu.be/PkXbObOoqo4 How to support The Art of Boat Building.
