Louis Sauzedde completes the centerline of the 40-foot wooden boat *Orca* by fabricating and installing the horn timber.0:42 The horn timber spans seven feet from the top of the stern post to the transom, requiring a heavy timber that Sauzedde trims to size using a 40-volt Ryobi battery-powered chainsaw.0:29 To improve the chainsaw's performance for deep, 16-inch cuts, he installs a manual oiling system with a thumb-activated pump and modifies the housing to prevent chip buildup.3:47 After rough-cutting the timber, he uses an electric planer to smooth the surfaces for stable feeding through a bandsaw.4:22 He employs a makeshift dolly system to support the heavy timber during the final rip cuts.6:00 To cut the mortise for the stern post, he uses a custom guide made from spark plug sockets and a metal rod to stabilize the chainsaw tip during plunge cuts.12:44 The design features a radical stern post and slanted forefoot characteristic of Nova Scotian lobster boats, which allows for tight maneuvering.11:07 Proper tool setup, including increased tooth set on the bandsaw blade, ensures precision when ripping large, dense lumber.9:00
