Reviving Jabiru
Australia
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 2 ธ.ค. 2021
I found this 89 year old canoe stern motor boat in the Port Stephens NSW area in 2021. I'd been looking for a suitable boat for a couple of years, but didn't find anything that I liked the look of. I liked the look of Jabiru, but there was not too much else about her that pleased me. Jabiru is still on dry land, now in a tent at Mount Kuring-Gai and is finally getting some care and attention.

That seems an awfully lot of filler. I thought the filler was to fill any low spots not to create another coating?
I have looked at others and talked to professionals who do it every day and the full cover is the way to go. Otherwise you have the glass pattern coming trough to the finished surface.
@@revivingjabiru7588 Thanks for the reply. BTW I race on a 35 ft J boat coincidentally called Jabiru. Look forward to the next update.

Looking so good
Great progress
To get more life out of sand paper ,there are Abrasive Cleaner Sticks (sand paper erasers) that work surprisingly well. They are made of the crepe gum stuff of some shoe soles.
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN !!?? 😂 Seriously, welcome back. I've been following this from the start and am keen to see more developments!
Lovely boat. Will be lots of fun out on the water.
Hi Phil, wow all I can say is what a wonderful job you are doing on Jabiru ,, it is looking fantastic. What a lot of hard work you have done so far. Good to see your mate. Come along to give you a little bit of a hand so was good. Are used to work at jabiru in the Northern Territory we used to say where are you you cockatoo from jabiru? Little bit of silliness, but that’s okay. Keep up the good work always enjoy the videos , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
👀ing forward to see the torture board come out in the next episode 🎉🎉🎉
Phil, your boat has wonderful lines and shape!
Phil, out of curiosity, will you be glassing the inside of the hull as well?
No. Just lots of paint. If you look at earlier episodes, you will see what a nightmare it would be to try to epoxy inside.
@@revivingjabiru7588 Gotcha. Plenty of good epoxy bilge paint then? I'd imagine one would want to encapsulate a glassed wood hull as much as possible seeing as how any moisture would be essentially trapped in the wood forever causing the myriad problems associated with glassed wood boats if the interior were left exposed.
Your boat will be a bit heavier than before but it will also be much more slippery slicing through the water!
Fantastic what a great video series Phil 🦘
Fantastic Bill what a great video series 🦘
Yes, the products available today are fantastic. The result is Jabiru will be better than new. I’m not sure the people that originally built her thought she would last this long. You got this boat at a good time in her life while she was still rebuildable. Great work here.
What a task...well done...👍💪👍
Phil, Would a spray on type resin been a suitable alternative?
Clever use of the old saw. never thought of that. I used a machine cut length of stainless steel 2mm thick of 3 ft length for this. I learn something new each time you post. now the wrose part comes . endless sanding.
Unbelievable transformation, and it’s not even half way, thank you for sharing
Love Ur work phil. Awsom watching
Thanks Phil.
I have been looking back at episode 9 and I have difficulties to understand what you will do inside in the end. With my small knowledge I think that wather will come in between the glassing and the wood from inside. Can you explain what you will do inside and also please tell me the size of the boat. Your work is looking very good so far and I am very curius to see her finished sometimes in the future. I am sure she will be fine.
The reason for glassing is to stop water coming in. The other necessary thing is to ensure water doesn't leak in from above. I think people have a great fear of glassed boats going rotten. I recently had a day out on a 40ft cruiser I helped build in 1973, It had been glassed at the time and was painted on the inside. Still going great 50 years later.
❤💯💯
Welcome back Phil. Always a good day when you pop up 😊
Дорогий Філе - Ваш прфесіоналізм постійно надихає нас (дилєтантів) на подвиги в реставрації старих човнів ... Дякую Вам.
Hey Phil. Whataya doing uploading this at 1am, AEST! Question is, what am I doing watching it at 2am! It's coming along great. A bloody bulletproof hull.
Thanks keep them coming very interesting build .
have been looking forward to the next video ,looking good and await the turn of the hull and the fine work will start ,a lot of work for one man ,did not think i had been watching for so long started when you looked at Jabiru at Port Stephens the move south ,these days good saws hard to come by ,hope you re cut the teeth one day
Great job applying all of that fiberglass. You have such a casual demeanor as you work in the videos. When you calmly say “your happy” with the completed fiberglass work, I read it that you are shouting and dancing about it! If I just completed that task I would be too happy to even talk about it!
Yes. Low level shouting and dancing in the knowledge of what is yet to be done.
I don't know much about the glassing of boats. Why did you choose to lap the glass keel to gunnel and not bow to stern? I figure it is about application so is water resistance negligible with delamination?
Hi Phil, I have watched all your Jabiru progress videos with great interest. I am in awe of your dedication , hard work and meticulous attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing her in the water in Pittwater when she's finished. Fond memories of all the CORC days! Best to you and Wendy.
Hi Frank, Thanks for your message and support. You and Beth are invited out for a day / weekend when she is back in the water. About 18 months if all goes to plan.
You did a wonderful job on your one👌👌
Thank you.
With all that glass Jabiru is gonna be bullet proof I’m thinkin…..great job!
Thank you
when bedding the floor in what did you use 5200 adhesive? or?
Excellent work!
Thank you.
Outstanding! Goodonyas!
Thank you.
Many woodworking videos make me want to do more woodworking. Fiberglassing videos always make me want to avoid ever working with fiberglass. You’ve done a ton of work. Congrats and keep it up.
Always a good thought, especially when it comes to sanding time.
Did you sneak in some Christmas music?
I didn't realise until someone else told me.
Thanks that bow thruster is going to be a great addition/ upgrade from the past.
Looking forward to using it.
Great to see your number of subscribers steadily rising!
Thank you.
How much weight will this epoxy/glass application add to the boat?Looking forward to the next steps of fairing and paint.
Probably adds about 150 kg or more by the time the fairing is finished. Not too much when you consider it weighed 2800 kg with the old engine when she was lifted into place.
Great dedication. I learned a ton about laying glass and peel ply in this recent series. Really enjoyed following along.
Thanks Mark.
Really good Phil , I am certain she will be a beauty , cheers tony
I'm hoping so too.
You're doing a fantastic job Phil, well done. Seeya Rob
Thanks Rob.
We used to have issues with geckos dropping down from the workshop rafters to inspect the resin before it set. Removing them, sometimes surgically, was messy! Do you have any similar issues with, say, flies
It's winter here so only my fingerprints. No Geckos so far.
Working into the night!, you must have a patient wife (maybe) I'm currently renovating a 1950's cottage and I'm constantly in trouble for working after sundown. Look forward to your posts
Not too far into the night and not very often. Not much lighting in the tent.
