Over 4 years building our wooden sailing boat! The cabintop deck is complete! (EP48) 

I usually read comments before I react. Simply because I do not want to double them too much. So, yes the top looks great. But I want to highlight something else. You two are heroes you had a dream, but one so big, so daunting, that few would even consider taking it on. And yet, with every episode, we get to see that dream come true. I know there are often voices of gratitude to subscribers, people who like and comment, or even become patreons. But not on your channel. Sure, you did ask us to help grow you on RU-vid, but frankly, in my view you are already so big. And compared to other ship building or restoration channels. You are so modest. So just wanted to applaude you, but also maybe tell you being the good and modest guys (though I did see a reference to your channel as well in another strem) is not always the way to go. But it has to sit right with you you two. Anyway, I loved it again. Keep it up 😊

Just found your channel and love it. 2 real people building a boat by themselves and not using others to build it for them

One day you'll be treading on that cabin top with very defferent tasks at hand. Hoisting, setting, trimming and reefing. Boatbuilding is such an optimistic activity.

You two are combining the very best of new and old with superb craftsmanship, Tarkin is a truly beautiful contemporary boat;)

I spent years teaching about using backing release tape and now stand corrected. Always something to learn from you both❤👍

Just remember to push the gun before you; don’t pull it towards you. Pulling it will create bubbles in the caulk.

Looks great clean , neat and tidy. Nice to see the grain come up after the sanding. Beauty.

Now that’s beautiful, it almost doesn’t look real!!!

Hey guys, Just finally catching up to all your videos. Just wanted to pop in to say how much I enjoy watching your work. I just recently restored a small fiberglass skiff over the last few years, and that project has given me enough experience to fully appreciate the immensity of what you two are doing. Amazing, truly. Keep at it, and one day, if the winds are right and you find your way into Charleston harbor (South Carolina, US) do give a shout! Mike

Well done guys - that cabin top looks amazing!

Very Nice. Very, Very Nice.

Oh, my!!!! Stunning!!!

It looks SICK! So good.

Beautiful job, a pleasure watching your progress!

Awesome Job, yet again. 😍

I watch every week in envy at your talent and youth working to build which without doubt is going to be a beautiful boat, but there was no envy this week watching you caulk those seams, horrible job but you did a fantastic job

Amazing job as usual she is taking shape beautifully David Newcastle Australia 🦘

Cabin top looks amazing! ❤

Stunning craftsmanship!

next time you caulk the decks, push the caulking gun forward, two reasons, you can see the caulk fill the joint better and it keeps air pockets from forming under the caulk

The cabin can on,y be described as SENSATIONAL !

The quality of work is fantastic, obviously due to the quality control supervisor in the basket on deck!!

Those camera pans of the top where mesmerizing

Spot on. As ever you are doing things correctly but with innovation and imagination. The cabin top looks gorgeous.

It's looking great. Keep up the great work you two are doing.

Classy ❤

wow that celery top looks fantastic, more close ups please.

Simply beautiful craftsmanship!

Great work, it looks amazing! As well the music you have chosen to underlay the video I do like.

Tarkine continues to grow ever more gorgeous with every task you complete - with your usual superb craftsmanship.

Just so you know i just skipped plucky to watch your channel first before his. Lol ! Dont get me wrong i will be watching his right after yours. 🎉🎉

That looks absolutely amazing, well done you two! Love it

Looking good!

That timber is really pretty,top job👌🙂

Hi,great preparation work,I remember working as a fitter many years ago on wooden Seine net boats in Grimsby UK and the shipwrights would caulk the seams and then liberally cover them with heated pitch.Once set they would then scrape back to the wood.needless to say it was done to a commercial standard and not to your very high level of requirement for a cabin top that looks so good.cheers,Roly🇬🇧

Beautiful.

Great work!

Looks great, love watching your videos

Best breaker tape was cassette tape from music cassettes! A thing of the past. Done a few miles of that!

Beautifully built boat, I’m new here, so just going through the videos to catch up, just an amazing talent you both have . Graham L

Another good episode, thanks

Looks amazing!

I love it, the top came out gorgeous.

Looking beautiful

Looking fantastic 👍

Stunning outcome, despite the mess. I'm sorry you must preclude all the "expert admonishments" explaining your various choices, but it serves to inform those who believe you clearly know what you're doing. Nice music choices. Looking forward to next time. Cheers.

Your cabin top looks fantastic. Didn’t know sellery top, but it looks really beautiful. I did a renovations of the seems of our 45 year old teak deck, also without tape for the seems. After seven years still no sign of cracking between the teak and the seems. It works!

Good work❤

One of the most satisfying and annoying boat jobs! Looks great guys🤗

So good.

Lovely work Bears 👊🏻👏🏻

Well done !

Nice.

Well done looks great

Wow, actually got some chores done this morning and am now enjoying this, waiting for lunch....GREAT TIMING....cheers...rr Normandy

Absolutely gorgeous quailty workmanship. A real piece of art in the making.

Looks fantastic!

Looking good.😊

Looks great

Looks great. All that hard work and you're going to take it out in harsh weather!

Very nice team

Good job. Cheers

The cabin looks amazing guys!

beautiful work. hats off to both of yous👍

Excellent job guys!

Sikaflex is ALWAYS a bit messy, but my goodness does it do the job. I always just tried to ensure most of it was in the plank seams than on me. Wonderful job❤

Looking good! 🤩

I'd say and my experience is that instructions for coatings, bonding & sealing agents, especially for the marine world, are definitely well worth following, to the T actually 😁 Great end result on the coachroof top, well done!

Beautiful work!

🇬🇧 breakfast viewing gets my vote 👍🏻

It takes a lot of work to achieve such good finishes. No wonder it takes such a long time to complete such a project. Keep on truckin! 🙂

Going by up on tippy toes just gives you that last bit of leverage

Reminds me of my roofing years

Beautiful job!

You're a truly inspiring couple, well done1

Heel mooi gemaakt de Cabintop. Love the black stuff.

It’s always great to get the finish on a particular job! It’s the incentive to continue on with the next tasks!

Bjoetievoel!

Wat mooi om jullie Tarkine te zien bouwen en met zoveel oog voor detail. Ga zo door !

The cabin top is gorgeous...and is a testament to the great teamwork of you two!

The work is impeccable been a shipwright for 16 years in a wooden boat yard your work is great I would share my tools with you anytime

Your craftsmanship is impressive. The cabin top is beautiful. Great video.

Another beautiful way to spend a Saturday morning. Great seeing you both and what a great job on the cabin top. Now a personal question, are you 2 married and where did Matt train as a shipwright? His work is meticulous and beautiful, as is your work. Ed

Flush-trim bit with 1/2" shank...Please!!

That cabin top is amazing!!!!! Beautiful!! Are you going to do the main deck the same way?

Thanks again for such a beautiful video, such a nice deck... Will it also be the dinghy garage?

23mins in you did something you might well have regretted for weeks. And I'm not convinced by screwing into endgrain to hold the capping pieces on. Let's hope that gunk sticks well for years.

Beautiful! Do you expect this to grey with age?

😄😄😄👍👍👍👍
