7:29 Stu is genuinely that speed. I've worked with him. We struggled to keep up. Legend has it, that's why he doesn't wear shoes, they just don't stay together at those speeds
Here’s some suggestions from someone who’s used contact adhesive for the last 30 years: -use a short nap paint roller to apply the glue -apply the glue to the carpet first, using the substrate as a stiffener -cut the carpet face down
This is my favourite RU-vid Channel, you've saved me thousands in boat repairs, given me days of content enjoyment, IMO you're on the same level as Eric the car guy.
Hey, that was a really nice feel-good video. Getting stuff done, you and the boat on the mend, lots of future plans, and chickens of course. Also, I wanted to mention, the picture quality in your videos is consistently superb! Be well.
OK, I've watched you work on this boat from the start and I have to wonder, would you have done this project if you had known it would have become the project that it has become? I will grant you that you are probably now more intimately familiar with your boat than 99 percent of the owners, but you have paid a pretty serious price for the knowledge.
Good question. I don't know really. From a RU-vid perspective the big job has given lots of content but I definitely think if I was just trying to get a boat to use I would have taken a different approach. I guess that is really what I was saying in that recent 10 tips vid.
Haven't you heard the call "clear winching", yeh it's a boat winch, but gee hands off in my opinion, that one is way fast! Valuable idea on the carpet oversize and glue up👍 the floor came up well, stairs look great, treads contrasts well against the white, provides clear safe egress/access
Hey stu. With your anchor make sure the first time you deploy send all the line out. This ensures the anchor rope with be spooled on under tension rather than fed on.
Good advice. Also if you dont the rope under the spool will be soft in the wind and when a load gets on it it will inbed the rope under load into the unloaded softer wound rope underneath. It could cause a great big knot.
Wow sure has come a long way Stu! Nice work! I am sure that the surveyor will find things but that is their job so no worries. Thanks for sharing your boat projects with us.
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet or not but first chance you get, put the Anchor out and give that line a good stretch. Once you get it good and tight then start winding it back on the drum. This way you will lessen the chance of having the line bury it's self in the lower lays the first time she fetches up real tight. I've used a piece of pipe to guide the line so it lays on the drum properly. Once you do this, it will make anchoring a lot easier, especially if you will be by yourself and not have anyone to guide the line on the drum. Thanks again for all of the cool videos and keep plugging along, you will have her finished in no time!
We use a bucket loo on whitewater rafting trips. Buy trash compactor plastic bags for bucket liners, they are heavy mil and make cleanup easy. We also keep a can of quicklime and a scoop next to the loo, throw in a scoop after doing your business and smell won't be an issue.
"Sorry, I don't speak chicken" ... Love it! Awesome episode with loads of progress. She's coming together nicely mate, and I'm glad your hand is on the heal. Thanks for the Ep!
Bilge looked really good. The boat is coming together now. Rainwater outlet, although in stainless, may need teasing into shape with a couple of mallet taps to dish it very slightly to prevent any standing water. Someone mentioned ear defenders, I live in ear defenders, goggle and gloves when working. Got to look after your musical ear! Glad to see you're on the mend.
I did carpet for many years and I did some in areas like pool areas and dressing areas where it was costly getting wet. standard purpose carpet and quick adhesive don't hold up well they're actually organic based and will mold. They do make carpet glue for areas that will be getting wet they also make carpet glue that Has a biocide in it and it will keep from getting that moldy mildewy smell.
G'day Stu that is a really nice job you did down in the bilge very clean, the winch proved that it works well where you put it. I used a shackle on my chain and rope with stainless steal wire though the eye let on the shackle and never had a problem. The cutting out of that rust on the roof went well she is really shaping up to be a very nice boat and having checked out is a great idea I really wish that I had that done, anyway good to see you again stay safe and well John
Everything looks awesome, Stu. The bright white looks great, but you may want to cover it with something to cut down on condensation. I have slept in many of those holes and they can get quite dank. I cannot wait to see how it all turns out, you are making excellent progress and excellent choices.
What an awesome episode, full of completed or almost completed tasks! Cabin looks great, windlass looks great (make sure is spooled under tension next time) and looking forward to see the next one! Cheers!
@@frank64409 Frank, was joking, i got out in 76 before the woman got on. hate the new navy. I affiliated in 89, 92 had to go aboard 2 frigates, man it has changed then. really no respect for any one. A couple of the officers on the bridge was lacking in all categories. glad we only had to do 2 weeks.
Funny seeing you all talk about it being cool. It's 80 degrees at 1AM where I am. It was 99 degrees today and Maryland summer time humid. That's like 400 Celsius in that metric thing you all like.
A few LED light pods will pop real nice off of that white paint you put in the cabin. I’ve used off road rock lights that go under Jeeps and trucks in my boat. They’re waterproof and are really bright. Plus they’ll do every color you can imagine. So you can go white when you need lots is light, or go blue for sleeping, or red for red alert if you hit a submarine or something. 🤭
Great video Stu, good productive week. Funny watching the chickens hanging around when you’re working, love how Daffy follows you down the stairs when there’s food on offer... Good job with the drain on that replacement part. Anyway, have a great week mate, cheers for now... ;-}
Mate, I hope you were wearing ear defenders for this process. Those loud machines in a confined space will deafen ya, ma.......OY!!! I SAID, IT WILL DEAFEN YA MATE!!!
Probably should cover the solar panels and any glass when grinding nearby . The hot crumbs stick to glass and cause rusty spots later. (bin there done that) Can you adjust the winch speed with a cog change or Rheostat or is it one speed fits all?
I watch 3 different refit chanels on RU-vid, Sail Life where a guy single handed refits a Warrior 38, a amazing projekt that soon is finished. the standard of his work is unbeliveble. I also watch Acorn To Arabella, what a project that is, you went there Stu when you where in the states. they have a few years let yet :-) great job they do. And then there is you Stu, You have come far to and all that is left seems like small odd jobs. You have done a great job Stu, can't wait to you find your first tressure on botten of the sea :-)
That front hatch looks pretty good now with the white paint if you call the hatch I think it's a bit bigger than the hatch yeah looks pretty good good work and good on you keep up the great work enjoy the videos getting some ideas may be to start my RU-vid channel
Unreal, moving along nice. The carpet contact glue fumes will take You on intergalactic journeys, hahaha! Loving it DM, Coopers, wet Sunday Arvo, I'm there Dude, Great Show Thanks.
yes had plenty of trips I used it on rebber padding in a kayak my legs itchy took weeks to dissipate, the fumes when they plastic kayak got hot , just could not use the boat for so long, Evo stick some power in that
@@bongoslide i found the VERTICAL contact adhesive which is the yellow stuff that's a bit see through as opposed to the horizontal contact adhesive [the stuff stu was using in this vid] is a lot better even though its very strong smelling in the can and as its drying and def need a mask to apply it, once it dries over night that's it,you never smell it again, even against a firewall or transmission tunnel that get pretty warm.
didn't get my notification e-mail again....YT isn't doing us any favors. I'm sure its effecting my channel too. Glad you show up in my feed of suggested videos at least.
Seeing Stu using that wire wheel on the angle grinder reminds me of a nasty experience I had recently; I was using a cup-shaped wheel for rust removal when it went terrifyingly out of balance. I couldn't control the grinder so I just chucked the whole thing and ran. Turns out that the wheel was only rated for 8500rpm whereas the grinder was going 12500rpm. Definitely worth checking in future!
Three things Stu. 1. If you need to glue down more carpet look at the Dunlop fake grass glue. $60/4lt at Bunnings. Recommended by Dunlop for marine carpet and doesn’t have the stank of the old quick grip. 2. The Ozito vac is a beast for the price, weak point is the ax fitting that goes into the drum. A good filet of silicone will stop it pulling out. 3. What fertiliser are you using to grow those power heads in the garden?
We had a few decent quality vacs in the old workshop and I was suprised to see that the Ozito was the one that lasted the longest. Chicken manure helps to grow Yamahas. ;)
