You Guys are Crazy,But I Love You,Congrats on the Milestone with the floor finished,,,Keep Smiling,Holding Hands and Having Fun on your Journey.

@rolandtb3 Год назад

Congrats on the sole upgrades so far. Bags for moving ballast. Repainting, like the white effect. Even surfaces to walk on. Temporary yet eye candy and easy to walk on. Fun and games, 60 kg. Excavating and nailing. Good work.

@PlanePreacher Год назад

There are premade muck shovels with holes in them. But by drilling a few holes through a regular shovel head it will help the muck release from the shovel. The shovel head is hardened steal and will dull a drill bit rather quickly though.

@loki7441 Год назад

Something to try on the dust port on the circular saw, especially as you have another 50 feet to go. Try an old sock , the light fluffy ones Gemma might have on her feet, but not if she's still in them. Put it over the dust outlet with a piece of tape or cable tie. It will catch a lot of the sawdust, not it all ; but its shouldn't get in the way if in an awkward spot. I use one on my circular saw. I raid the wife's sock drawer ,she's got hundreds. I think I married a centipede. 😂

@davekimbler2308 Год назад

You 2 are a Hoot !!!!!I dont even watch because of the vessel , i watch because of you 2 , i think your accents are cool and your goofy banter about silly things is sweet !! Your like a comedy team !If you had a TV show i'd watch !!!!!!! At least you didn't call it " WHO SHIVES A GIT " I'd LMAO if you did !

@pjsequipmentservicessouth Год назад

Y’all have done a wonderful job on her so far! Congratulations! I would seriously think about fixing the deck above all that work you did to protect it. 😎

@bobmcdermott9535 Год назад

Well done guys, such a landmark achievement. Well done Mason, you are so lucky to have Simon and Gemma as parents, don’t worry if you are not as practical as they are, you are showing and developing your skills in other ways. Great parenting skills.

@viggendriver1975 Год назад

I have built a 16 foot power cat and REbuilt a 1972 MGB, 9 months each. Significant but NOTHING like what you are doing! Keep it up

@bigalon3wheels Год назад

Can ya believe it, first 20 feet whith another 52 feet to go, such cheerfulness displayed. The real fun comes with the deck and upper cabin works, then the make it liveable once the the rest is done.

Great job, btw. I love seeing old boats being saved from the wreckers.

@kenjohnson6338 Год назад

Couple of years back.. dug up 700 kilo of range lead.., 200 mixed kilos of brass bronze copper, 50 kilos of stones, 450 of clean lead. .sold half lead , and mixed metals.. turned the rest .... into 303 .308win and .355 9mm ammo ... Sweet....

@dylancarleton2072 Год назад

I'd like to share with you how I make templates for complex shapes. Take your sheet of brown stuff there, rip it into strips about 80-100mm wide. Then use a hot glue gun to glue the pieces together to make up the shape. Mark where the edges touch and use a couple pieces diagonally on the corners to stiffen up the template. I use "cheap" thin plywood. Nice job all around!

@GUCR44 Год назад

Just a thought..... Maybe fill a ballast bag half full of pea gravel and set the lead on top to spread and cushion the load of lead so it wouldn't be banging around on the hull in choppy weather? I love the way you two get along

@ahrmles Год назад

You two have an AMAZING sense of humor! I love ❤️ it!

@GUCR44 Год назад

I love the way you two work together.. Omg school and kids right? Hey don't you love the ryobi tools? I have alot of them. Their awesome... Peace and love luv you guys.. Keep on truckin! Rolfie

@nickgoodall578 Год назад

Once you guys haul the boat out, you're going to spend a lot of time chuckling about the mud-times. Major ball-ache now thought!

@chrishorton6605 Год назад

Do you need all the ballast? A lighter boat might roll a bit more and be more "lively", but draft and fuel consumption would decrease. Something that you would probably need a marine architect to answer. But that would be an interesting tangent episode!

@charleendunn5446 Год назад

Wow! That floor really puts the finishing touch on a job well done. It looks great and it makes that space look so much larger! You two are doing an amazing job.

@Bob8091 Год назад

Templates. " ...Then they are just gone. Nothingness. " A bit like my pension at the end of the month then. It's great to see you pass a milestone like this.

@jackbartlett446 Год назад

Hi Jack, thank you so much for your awesome support xxxx

@philipgoldson928 Год назад

You guys are incredible!! We watch every blog- and don't comment too much. But this milestone must be so satisfying, and gives all us watchers much pleasure! Thanks for your energy - just wonderful!!

@taffythegreat1986 Год назад

There’s a few buildings in llandaff Cardiff, that the facade of the buildings are made from ships ballast. (Mind you this is decades ago).When the ships came and loaded up with their cargoes. These stone ballasts were then dumped on the quayside. It looked as some builders back then, have used them in the construction of these buildings. The buildings looks quite good as well 👍

@dandersonjr Год назад

Huge milestone accomplished. I'm happy for you. Now to the next section.

@DrRusty5 Год назад

There is an neat way of making a template of odd shapes using thin strips and hot glue. To follow the shape and trace back on to the larger board. Not sure if there is better technical way of describing it.

@jamesbarton1791 2 месяца назад

You 2 are crazy. Love watching 😘

@GARDENER42 Год назад

If you ever get bored (& energy prices come down), you could recast the lead into blocks incorporating a stainless steel hoop, thus making lifting it a whole lot easier.

@jannerkev Год назад

Brilliant. Getting there. How come you've only got 70k subs. Your hard work and enthusiasm deserves three times that.

@wileyboles4179 Год назад

Looks Better all the Time, be glad when winter is over!!

@bjrnkristiansen3420 Год назад

It would be awesome to see Gemma having a (cold) mudbath😂😂 Else you doing a very nice job guys! Keep it on👍🏼

@mwatkins2464 Год назад

That would be great. She’s a beautiful woman inside and out. Simon is a lucky man

@davehealey749 Год назад

Great achievement, now we know you're serious. Excited for you ...

@jaybird4095 Год назад

Great finish to a major milestone. I suspect when the weather gets nice the ceiling and deck will be high on your priority list. Cheers (from the USA)

@howardtennant5766 Год назад

Great job looking very impressive can't wait to see what happens when the better weather of spring arrives, Best wishes two you both and helpers

@TheFjmtb Год назад

Am just here to see where all the naysayers are from the early days! Been here since ep1, there is still a lot to do but its evident this is going to happen! Inspirational stuff, am about to (fail) to do my own camper van conversion and stuff like this show that with patience, persistence and self belief you can do all sorts of bat sh!t crazy stuff !

@kevinmcneill468 Год назад

Bravo Zulu you two!

@fonhollohan2908 Год назад

Even I felt good, seeing what you all have accomplished, where's Robert ? btw that's quite the milestone. Boat come a long way, since you's started this project. Congrats. To you all. Time to have a little celebration...like Simon said, if you can get that deck done this summer that's would be amazing! Then it would be time for a real party !!! cheers have a good one.

@davidelliott5843 Год назад

We all know that knackered deck came close to sinking Sarinda. Summer isn’t far away. Hopefully you can prepare the new beams and get them fitted quickly this year.

@johnrobbo69 Год назад

Unfortunately I do have a proper job so can’t be there all the time 😢. Thanks for asking though

@samanthawho4471 Год назад

Yay!! Y’all have worked so hard and it’s looking amazing! When Simon smiles I can definitely see where Emilia gets her smile from 🥰 I can’t wait to see the next project

@bengtkorswing5279 Год назад

Amazing work. You two are great. I love your videos, your humor and solutions. Wish I could visit you and help one or two days but it is just too far and travel is just too costly now-a-days. Take care and God bless.

@WimvdBrink Год назад

Like a lot here say, its so much fun seeing you working, with fun and jokes but continuously working very hard to get work done. Congrats with getting to this milestone, still a lot to go but the ship is looking better and better. Hand in hand finishing the video, quite emotional :-) love you 2 :-)

@nedwphillips2126 Год назад

Woohoo... Looks flippin massive. Congrats Guys!!!

@logsmyob8267 Год назад

It's so good to see the old boat getting a new life....Do you run the main engines every now and then, to help prevent the diesel bugs forming in the fuel injection system... i can't wait to see the day you take her out on a sea trial...

Another way to make templates is to hot glue smaller pieces to a bigger plate along the edge to get the contour. That way no cutting or scribing is needed.

@JohnVegas Год назад

Your courage, enthusiasm and hard work is inspiring. I am sure this has been very tough so far. Congratulations for all your victories and Hod bless you.

@ron7447 Год назад

Just stumbled upon your site while watching a canal boat program. I'm in America, and became quite interested in the narrow boats a couple years ago. Definitely a bucket list item. I applaued your commitment to your dream. Wish I were there, I would love to help you work on her. Much luck in your adventure.

@dancaptain2055 Год назад

That is really starting to look beautiful in there, she should be able to take on some heavy seas when you are done with her and should be fun to be on the water with it too, hanging out having some beers, doing some grilling

@rogersillence5798 Год назад

Mega, the progress you've made is fantastic. I've been watching since the first episode and will follow until the end, whenever that might be. With the ballast have you guys thought about melting it down in to ingot bricks ? (especially the loose shot). It would make it so much easier to move around and place in the bilge where you want it. It's really easy to melt the lead in a heavy old saucepan over a camping stove, and I'm sure an ingot mold or two wouldn't cost that much. Just make sure you preheat the mold and wear a face shield and gloves while pouring. Just a thought. Anyway keep up the great work, can't wait for the next episode

@clarenceclark8592 Год назад

Man oh mighty you guys are awsome you sue excellent work apparently I’d assume one or both of you have a boatload of reconstruction experience in ole wooden boats seems like Gemma has knowledge about it to me I think your braver than anyone in the states you’ll have a wonderful boat in the end congrats love your videos keep it goin

@01givy Год назад

When your template is a bit short, use some tape to add the required width, painters tape works well.

@eldonmontgomery2465 Год назад

@tacticalrabbit308 Год назад

You could melt the lead shot back down into a block take a 12 inch long 4 inch wide with 3 inch tall side piece of C channel weld up the ends at an angle to pour the lead into and when it cools it should fall out and be ready for the next pour , sort of like a bread pan for baking.
