His three video series on building a laminated mast from general lumber is excellent.
Starts here:
That said, I do recommend always starting all his videos at the 1:20 mark and setting the playback speed to 1.25X. He is a bit of a slow talker.

The hull form of that boat is very advantageous for home build
I don’t like the mast

makes ya thunk on a few tings like:
If ya wanna a true cruising boat mebbe it would look like Bill’s.
(not bill the cat, of course).
bermuda rig: great for racing, but sail change at 0200 in 10 foot seas, single handing? junk rig seems better choice.
long keel: racing yea, but finding a shallow place to anchor and scrape the hull or trailering, bilge keels make a sense
after watchin 55 episodes, he could‘ve made an armada size fleet a stitch n glue dinghy s or canoes. this guys patience and dedication is phenomenal. his SWMBO‘s dedication is remarkable as well
see ya in Horta…

Well, he lost me when he said that he’d built and sailed a BS design, so I’m not joining the flotilla to Horta.

I doubt you understand.
I suspect in this case BS is short for Brent Swain not Bull Shit - although some would say "same thing".
BS promotes steel origami design and construction.
He used to post here but he got punted a few years ago for some of his interactions with other posters
