All I can say is what great series of videos. George is a true yet very humble craftsman. Probably one of the best series of videos that I've watched in a long time.
If I lived in Australia I would be trying to get a job there and learn whatever I could from that man. These boats are a work or art and the skills to learn are priceless!
Some artists work in oil paint, others in stone or wood. George works in aluminum or “Al-Lu-min-e-um” as you say down under. And what a beautiful job! I can’t say enough to express my thoughts. Got me thinking about building a CAT that’s been swirling around in my dreams for the last twenty years. Credit to Timmy as well. I love your channel. Turned on the captions so I could understand what the h you are saying 😊. Greeting from Los Angeles
Watched all 4 episodes and really enjoyed it. I love my Stabicraft, but this makes me want a Samurai boat now as this is the Rolls Royce of boat manufacturing! Cheers for the videos.
Georges homemade crane eehh, I'd trust it more than anything you could buy. I'm an older bloke and I admire his stamina, and patictince, sorry Timmy but he's the star on this series mate.
As a construction worker, fabricator and welder for about 40 years I love to watch talented people do their thing. To say I am impressed would be an extreme understatement! Wow! George, what a craftsman!!!
Just finished watching all 4 parts and this project is epic! George has gold in his fingers and his work is spot on. You are very lucky timmy to be going down this path and your hard work has paid off mate. Cant wait to see that engine go on and the wrap! Betting on a 250 or 300hp such as a SHO Vmax 4 stroke yammie....! You deserve someone to come on board with an outboard!!! Epic mate 🤙🤙
Bloody great series, Loving the custom parts of the plate boat. Personally I'd have a natural livewell/toilet up the back :D but everything else is pretty much how I'd do it myself! I did a 10 week welding course at tafe years ago, it's 100% practice man. you'd probably have more hours under the hood than I got in those 10 weeks. Grinder and paint makes me the welder I aint.
I’m not sure how I got here with George and Timmy, but I’m guessing from watching wooden boat channels (Sampson Boat Co). But I’m a big fan of George now that I’ve watched him for a few hours.
The ice box looks like a throne (toilet). If you go down DrewM's path and have a tinder date on the boat youre going to have to set some ground rules lol
Yeah, I was thinking that too mate. I reckon it's finished by now and we are just gonna keep getting videos of the build every few days....which is awesome
Top notch craftsmanship better than most big named alloy plate boats all built with his hands, basic tools, quality looks better than my 420 renegade and 5700 yellowfin. Built in North Queensland aye TOO DEADLY.
So glad i came across this today awesome build. George has the skills to pay the bills for sure, but one thing ive been wondering this whole time is how much aluminum has timmy had to pull out of the bottom of his feet?
IT WOULD BE GOOD TO SEE A DF350 THE ULTIMATE OUTBOARD MOTOR . THEY SAY A 2 HANDED GRIP IS BETTER THAN ONE. LOL GOOD TO SEE YOUR BACK. MAKE SURE YA DO DO A BRAWLER BAIT SESSION ON THE REEF .. LOVE THE BOAT VERY NICE.
This was very smart of the boat builder. This will gain him some good word of mouth and probably gain you some subs. I subscribed just to follow this build.
From a Sheetmetal fabricator of 15 + years, George is definitely a guy with a lot of experience and knowledge. Love his not over thinking attitude but that comes with full confidence in knowing exactly what you’re doing
I have been involved with Aluminum production for 50 years so very familiar with this group of alloys. It’s great to see George work his magic building such a master piece. Really enjoying the series.
Hey Timmy got a question, are you saying chine or chime? Can’t tell but if your saying chime you’d be wrong. Loving the build so far and my guess is a 250 yammy considering it’s a heavy plate boat.
Up until now I enjoyed watching timber boat builds . I’ve never considered how much goes into these big tinnies . Eager to get into a few more vids of the build.
Mate I just want to say it’s good to see you back on your original channel, that Matt and Brooksy told you to abandon, doing your thing, and just being yourself. Judging by the views on the last few vids, you should be back up and running in no time. Keep it real, bro✌️
So you were at this stage a year ago 🤔🤔 or did you misspeak when you said NRL grand final… as that’s on October 2nd 😂😂😂 great work whenever it was done 😂😂 edit, you just said it’s October 10 so you are a year behind, why take so long to release this??
Watching your vids for some time great work, and your nice to watch ! tip use some stabilization in the camera of some sort, makes is better to your audience to watch. owh ja welding looks really nice as well
This series couldnt have started at a better time. I went and watched the pipe dream 2.0 build series about 2 weeks ago and then these videos started coming out
One of the best series of videos I have ever seen on a custom boat build, George is a brilliant craftsman and his knowledge and skills are priceless. You are fortunate to be getting such an awesome boat and learning how to weld and contribute to your own build boat Tim. It really gives the layman an idea of how many hours goes into building a quality plate alloy boat. Great work fellas ! 👍
George, you are a true aluminium metal Artist mate, Absolutely love your work. I'm ready to have a 565-580 Territory style Side console Custom Built complete with a full offroad Trailer powered by a Mercury 175 Pro XO. How do I reach and and contact George Please Timmy ?
Lovin the series. Hoping at the end of the series you do a video of what you love / what you want to change Also how long ago did you start the project
Thanks to both you and George, love to see the passion and appreciation for the many years experience George has on the welding, beautiful stuff. Would be interested to know supplier of wax, sanding pads etc?
Outstanding batch of video posts you guys have made. Beautiful workmanship and skills on display here for sure. I am envious of your welding skills. Looking forward to seeing the completed project!
I would love to find somewhere on the Goldie I could go do some free fabrication work to learn on weekends, teaching myself too tig weld atm, can’t wait to watch this episode later
🤔🤔🤔... WHAT blade are y'all using on that angle grinder...!!! Cause every blade I buy for mine SUCKS...!!! While y'alls cut like butter...!!!! 🙄🤷🏽♂️🙄🤷🏽♂️
Id be interested in having gorge go over some of the welding equipment he has in his shop I'm going to guess they are all synergic pulse migs with push pull guns but the brand names down under are a lot different then here in north America. One thing is for sure he had them dialed right the fuck in no sputter on the start up minimal soot (for what i assume is 5356 wire) and nice pen with good weld profile.
The Castolin kit is re-badged Fronius, widely considered to be the best kit there is. The CEA (pronounced Chee-ah) is Italian and a great little set too. Both as you say are synergic pulse migs and they will have all the adjustments you need for soft start, inductance, crater fill, double-pulse etc. The castolin machine does have a push-pull gun fitted, the smaller yellow CEA has a conventional push type torch fitted.
@@jimdavey871 thanks very much for the reply I've never had the chance to run a Fronius but i hear they are one hell of a welder to use. I run Lincoln 350MP's in my shop which are a lot more common here in Canada then Fronius and have a bit of a different adjustment set up but gets the job done .
Timmy I love getting inspired and learning from my you tube and this is being my all time favourite series ,thanks mate unreal show ,can’t wait to see her on the water but no rush keep building
I would give anything to have 1 of those boats. they take a licking and keep on ticking. wood or fiberglass don't. I was born in the very south of the USA. you don't see metal boats. then I went up in the Northen states seen the metal boats. I like them.
