When changing your tubes of glue, use the old nozzle then you end up with spare nozzles and also you don’t waste the glue in the nozzle

@charleendunn5446 День назад

I smiled when you put your names and date on the wheelhouse and talked about the people who would see it 40 years later. The house I live in was remodeled by a young man who bought it as a fixer upper. He totally redid the kitchen. I found his name and date when doing some repairs in my kitchen. On the 40th anniversary of his buying the house, he contacted me and ask if he could have a tour through it. I still have the kitchen he built. He explained he was 21 and single when he designed the kitchen, to which I laughed and replied, " That explains a lot!!" It definitely was not designed by a housewife, but I love it anyway. Hopefully Sarinda will be a part of your family for many years to come!

I love it that you are the first to announce that big media is going after the donors to projects like yourselves to fatten their already grossly over amassed profits. I have not ever supported Patreon because it takes such a high percentage.

@lawgoch День назад

You didn't just impress yourselves - the front that looked so frail and crumbly now looks tight and strong. Another great job, and thank you for sharing it with us!

@vogs72 День назад

As a child we restored a lifeboat that had been one of the ’little ships’ at Dunkirk, and my dad had all of your enthusiasm. I’d love to say he had your talent, but she’s still afloat 40 years later, so keep going!

@chilllytube День назад

You are doing a fabulous job, rolling along to make Sarinda watertight. I know there's still loads to do, but in a strong, watertight hull and deck you will be able work without always thinking about sheeting down before the end of the day. That wheelhouse went well, but it's not lucky - you thought about it and now you know what you're doing. Very impressive.

@mikebills9343 День назад

@TonyCottrell-iv2qv 17 часов назад

@deanjones2525 День назад

I'm just so happy for them. When it rains, they won't have to be concerned about getting water down below. Also, the boat can retain more of the warmth now.

@christinehammell6365 День назад

Seriously impressed with the cleanliness of the wheelhouse windows . When you said you were using the reflection in the window to guide the sharpie , I had to do a double take because I thought for some reason there was no pane of glass in that window . Another great episode xx

@scottsorby7966 День назад

That's an incredible transformation folks, lots of strength back in and 99% water tight now

@taffythegreat1986 День назад

The trouble with plan (A) is, you have the weight of the wheelhouse pressing down onto the deck at the points where those noggins are. If you lay down a 6" x 2" timber flat and shape in the curve. The original uprights of the wheelhouse can then rest onto the 6" x 2" timber, hence spreading the load. Love watching you both work 😂👍👍

@stevenholton438 День назад

Good advice!

@dfanta123crist5 День назад

Or do it how he has which still looks good enough for what it needs to do………

@taffythegreat1986 18 часов назад

@@dfanta123crist5 it’s not the question of looking good. Although the job does look good and you’re doing great, I love it.👍👍. It’s about spreading the weight of the wheelhouse onto the 6"x2" timber, rather than the ply decking itself. Maybe you can see it differently to where we see it. 👍👍

50:34 Seriously even as an observer, I totally get how amazing you both must feel at the sense of achievement. It just looks so good and how cool it will be when you put down the fibre matting and apply the first coat of resin and when that goes off you have about half of the boat pretty damn sea worthy ok apart from final inspections when you can get to the keel, hopefully should be ok

@islandnightowl День назад

What about using house deck metal attachments that allow you to have many attachment points to both the uprights and the deck. On a house when building a deck. You have metal cradles for the deck beams that attach to the exterior of the house. Hope that made sense! Lol They are used in Canada eh! Love seeing Sarinda coming back to life and learning lots as well ❤❤
