After lots of planning, discussions and excitement the shell of our Narrowboat finally starts to be built #narrowboatbuild #steelboats #soarvalley #tinyhome #alternativeliving
Anyone can, with practice, learn to wire weld and the equipment is quite reasonable. A 250A machine or better will do and used industrial wire welders are often easy to find. While that shop is sweet you can build on levelled welding stands outdoors if you lack space. Overhead cover is easy to make. Plasma cutters are highly desirable but someone practiced with a torch can produce excellent results. See boatbuilding forums for many methods the professionals use because labor is most of a build cost.
How wonderful for you to be able to film all of this for your grandchildren to watch. I’m a Nana in Brisbane watching this. All the best. I will watch all your vlogs. ❤️
Thankyou Vicky. Yes it is already great to look back at the vlogs that they were in. They have grown so much. In the future we are sure they will look back with many happy memories. We made some great friends in Brisbane when we travelled around your beautiful country. 2 of them friends came to see us on the boat this year while they were traveling around the uk. More fabulous memories 👍 Thankyou for watching, glad to have you on board 👍
About time i love these narrow boat vlogs, now watching a couple of fellow Aussies is great .Wish i could talk the wife into doing this take care guys from Brisbane.
Uhh,, I think a square stern is best. Just a little more rear deck space. Also a small as possible wet room toilet shower area to maximize the living area. Lots of ideas but challenging.
