So was she an MGB ? I see the old pictures and there’s no torpedo tubes, so she wasn’t an MTB, or was she ? I would love to know 🙏🏻. Also did you know that these were selling for £10 in our docks post WW2. But that was also the price of a house back then, so not as cheap as ppl actually think. My granddad nearly brought one, but brought the house instead. Still he did get to thrash about the WASH (North Norfolk) in one and open up the original V12’s they had in them. Apparently u could hear her coming out of our river Ouse from the Hunstanton cliffs 😂 Not had the time to binge watch all this, but have u already learned it’s a ‘double diamond’ construction ? Just in case u haven’t been made aware yet. Though I must say u have way more balls the I have to take on suck a mammoth task 😂 best o British ✌️❤️&🍀 too u both 👍
How this channel hasn't got somewhere near the same number of subscribers as Dan's is beyond me. I would have thought there was a commonality between the two subject matters. Absolutely fantastic job you're doing on Sarinda. Keep it up.
Totally agree. The only difference is Dan posts a short video most weekdays. I think many time pressed people find they can fit these in rather than a weekly epic.
We all have to comment on Dan’s channel telling other commenters about Sarinda and Ship happens. Don’t forget he had all Stephanie’s subscribers to join him. It works with all the other chateaus too👍🏻 so why not a World War 2 wooden boat restoration. A lot of us came here from David’s channel.
Come and see the poor wooden Brixham fishing trawler that’s sank in the Exeter Canal. Fresh water sealed its fate - The beams & decks are gone and it’s a sorry sight indeed.
Just a couple of suggestions 1 use bottle Jack's under timber to support beams. Cut up some oak wedges to save your chisles when separating beams. Great channel.
Every time I open my computer, I'm hoping to see a posting from you two. You just don't know how I look forward to your updates. It's so interesting to see you undertaking the difficult tasks, and, your humour is a bonus. Thanks.
The level of dedication to this old girl is admirable. Id be down for multchy merch. She's taking shape and coming back to sea worthy again. Wild to think about how far you've come.
" Plod on and plod on "getting better every episode such patience and self discipline , hats off to you 😊 yes you must know when to clock off and relax for the next day.
Guys, serious question, when you cut a section out and then comment that it’s a right mess you’ve got yourselves into……. Do you ever then just stop filming, go to the stern of the boat with a pillow in hand and then just yell at the top of your lungs into said pillow all the cuss words you can muster, then remove pillow, give each other a kiss and then start filming and get back to it…… your resolve, patience, perseverance and oneness is bloody awesome, kudos to you both, you certainly are resilient buggers. Another top effort
Mortice and tenon. The hole is the mortice. the tenon is the poky bit. If you want the joint tighter cut down the grain of the tenon then when the joint is assembled drive a wedge into the cut (same way a hammer head is retained on the shaft).
She’s so rotten but you guys have really stepped up to the plate and are getting her done your own way. Hats off to you both. At this time, you might be more aware why so many of us had serious doubts about you accomplishing this job. You’re proving us wrong! 👍 but, you still have a long way to go.❤
I keep saying the same thing over and over … you guys are FEARLESS! I just love your channel. You’re doing the world a solid, bringing the old girl back to life. 🇨🇦
The essence of any restoration really comes down to what you have to do to keep it going - when it's a sea going boat safety is paramount : I applaud the balance you are striking between keeping original pieces and making the boat sea worthy. You are keeping the spirit of the old dear going, and that is most important to its history.
You are both working and thinking superbly together. What you have just shown, was a very complex demolition and reconstruction, no crisis and more so, just the odd little bang on the head. You both went home very satisfied, I hope. Keep the good work up.
By and by, there's nothing wrong with adding a little shim to fill out a cut that leaves a gap. Just match the grain direction and then glue it to the tenon and you got instant perfection.
So, in the same way that the original builders used cast iron knees to join deck beams to frames, you could do your mortice joints & then supplement them with a stainless steel flat brace that covers the entire joint from one side of the mortice to the other...
Love you Simon , just give the saw a little love tap to get it working, 😂 , keep it going man! 👏👍🍻The old girl is looking absolutely fabulous and you two are definitely on the right path with the restoration of her ! I look forward to seeing your next video 😊😁😉
The West System toothed scrapers put the perfect amount of thickened epoxy on glued joints. Helps reduce waste regardless of the amount of glue you have in stock.
That is some progress! And it is stunning how quickly you get work done when you've done it before. You must be on programme now, One month to autumn showers. You deserve a lot more susscribers, this ireally interesting now.
You're probably already done, but I would recommend laminating the Oroko beam, square pegging the bulkhead hole, the doing the same on the deck beam, putting it in as you mount the deck beam. I'm in Canada, and I've seen a lot of Amish/Mennonite built barns.
Next time you make a mortice and tennon joint use a sharp pencil instead of a thick sharpie to make the mark. Cut with a tennon saw instead of a circular saw and you will get a closer fitting joint when you cut to the line.
you did the right thing packing it in when you both were tired plus the weather turned against you, I have found to my cost to carry on when tired seldom gives good results.
I love the way you two work together. Adding humor along with great solutions to complex problems. I can hardly wait from week to week to see what's next, Gemma "shaking her cans" Simon slapping Gemma's behind while she's bent over sanding pretending to fly off like superheroes or just being amazed at the awesome progress the two of you have made.
"We're not very good at doing woodworky stuff" - understatement of the the year! 😅 You two are amazing! Those varnished bulkheads are going to be beautiful... 🎉🎉🎉
The amount of work you two do in an episode is impressive. Just clearing that bulkhead of all those tools, shelves cabinets etc, and finding places to put them all would have taken me a whole weekend. And that was just so you could START getting to work! Edit: When you cracked your head on the new beam Simon, you were lucky that it hadn't been fixed in yet. Instead of a crease and dent in your scalp, you may have needed stitching up, - after you'd come round!
Whether I find what you are doing interesting or not, I enjoy “spending time” with you both. Your work ethic and good humor are a pleasure for anyone watching your channel.
To tighten up the joint between the two pieces , use a hand plane on some scrap wood to create a few long , intact , shavings . Insert and glue the shavings into the hole then pound in the beam . Trim off the extra with a sharp chisel . Looking good you two !
You kids can count yourselves part of the amazing group of creators now found on TH-cam with quality content that keeps your viewers coming back weekly. I discovered "Chateau Diaries" during Covid lock down were I was first introduced to 'Dan the Gardner' which brought me to his channel "Escape to Rural France" and I enjoy him immensely. I've also followed you guys since the beginning and never miss an episode.❤
I love watching you guys! I have been working around woodworking machines all my life and now at 78 my hearing aids are the only thing that keeps my wife and I almost sane. Please wear your safety equipment. (You will be sorry!).
Your work is SO fine, and you show us what has to be done, to save this historic ship. We here so thank you for your terrible hard work and videoing so we here can see what was required. It’s hard to believe that some shipwrights do this daily for as much as 30 years, their careers. This very old soul thanks you, two geniuses! BLESS you and your fine work.
Jen, use a larger pair of vice grip locking pliers. The rounded jaw of the piers can be used to leverage the nail out. Very similar to the curved on your claw hammer.😀
Those short beams, may have not been short beams, but full size and had been cut to make way for a door, originally she would have had 6 water tight compartments and each compartment would have had a water tight hatch door, smaller than the doorway you have now
Sending the Safety Seagull with specs for Simon. Aroco in the eye is going to make you cry! You are become old pros as the Beam Team. The aft cabin might be a speedy victory lap after the front 75%. Marine ply circa 1940 definitely is different than modern marine ply, but your laminated plank work is awesome!
for what my opinion is worth, you did it exactly the way I would have done that mortice and tenon, you might consider when you fit the joint the last time saw a slit in the tenon (sticky out bit) and then once it is in, hammer a wedge in from the other side- then it will never come out.
@@renexxx2017 actually it can be done without access using a blind wedge, where the wedge is inserted into the tenon, and the bulkhead would force the wedge into place as the beam is pushed in for the very last time
Been watching you from the beginning. Wish we could support you financially more. We have bought a bit of merch and a few coffees so I guess every little bit helps. Do you have any time line of completion, not that a boat is ever finished?
I'm so glad that David Johns from Cruising the Cut introduced me to your work. I've been following you ever since and greatly admire and enjoy your work.
Loved your faces with that beam, so nice to see. Also great that Gemma explained her thoughts about how the bow area will come together. Fantastic work guys, 👍
You both are quite deserving of wearing your "smug" faces! The work you are so ably achieving is pure joy to watch. It is an inspiration to the rest of us, whatever it is we strive to do. Thanks so very much for ending my week on the proper note. This is more than creative....it's REcreative. Cheers from British Columbia, Canada.
Gemma cleaning the excess resin from the beam reminded me of the movie 'Something About Mary' where she calls to the door.😄 Taking the sharp corner's off the tenon, ie your plug going into the hole might help on the other ones. a small 45 degree chamfer on the 4 edges.
Simon and Gemma I’ve followed you from the start and think you are doing a really amazing job of restoring this beautiful historic boat , don’t let the side board critics get to you they’re not worth it. Love your vlogs Best wishes from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I love watching you two work together! It’s very entertaining and relaxing. Relaxing because I don’t have to worry if the boat is going to blow up or sink😅
Now you can say that boat work is definitely in your wheel house... Looks great. Can't be easy to persevere over the years. The end is probably in sight. Well done so far.
Per usual a fantastic watch,you two are brilliant at solving problems.I've watched from the beginning and astounded how far you've got up to now.Can't wait to see the boat finished and you setting sail.
It is so satisfying to watch the two of you fix up this grand old boat. Best part of my week is when you post a new video. Good luck with the rest of the build. Very much looking forward to the day when you sail her out for a cruise.
RESPECT!! Clear out here in No. California, I could FEEL the temptation to avoid the time and effort to do that beam correctly!! But you did NOT SUCCUMB!! I have great admiration for the two of you - for taking this job on, and for doing it RIGHT!!
The replacement deck beams look fantastic so much hard work there, certainly put the strength back in to the boat now. Glad to see the old rotten wood coming out thick and fast. The mortise and tenon was a great idea nice work there Simon and Gemma. 👍
So back the workshop to glue up more beams. Also prop the wheelhouse up good and proper please. I would hate to see anything happen under it you were not expecting. PS great work and video 2x👍
At least once you get further aft you can stand some beams on the exhaust tunnels, screw the uppers to the hull and run some ropes between them for added safety when working above decks... Also, for the stanchions, square aluminium tubes can be inserted, marked at deck level, notched and bent to whatever upright position you like, then welded up. The uppers will all be painted anyway, so they will blend right in. Plus, being hollow, you can run wires up from below without drilling holes in the deck... You can drill and counter-sink holes below the tenons, insert S.S. screws and finish with wood plugs for an almost invisible join... This old retired sailor thinks you both are doing great work! 👍
Please oh please apply glue to the end grain of any timber you are replacing, this is where the deterioration/rot always starts. I would like to think the rebuild is going to last another 100 years. I would love to be there on that glue gun squirting it everywhere ! Really admire your positive approach to this project no matter how difficult the challenges ahead, what a fantastic attitude!
I missed this when it came out on Patreon…sick again w/ fevers and weird dreams so some of it was familiar. This week’s makes more sense though. Love the nails, Gemma, as usual. Neat hearing Simon talking about how he sees the weight distribution and how much material something needs.

All doubters and naysayers can now relocate to the half sunk sailboat on the other side of the Estuary. Full steam ahead for the Beam team! Bravo!

stop it, enjoy these two.
What does your post even mean? There are 100,00 hulls rotting on the uk coastline
The two of you just crack me up. 😂 I really enjoy watching the build.
Wild to think how far-gone she was, when they bought her.
Your dedication is amazing. Not only are you rebuilding an old boat, you are keeping us amused and interested. Keep up the good work. 😊
Just a couple of suggestions
1 use bottle Jack's under timber to support beams.
Cut up some oak wedges to save your chisles when separating beams.
Great channel.

You two are magic the way that you work together. When you are finished Sarinda will be whole again and loved not just by you but many.
She'll be stronger as well.
The 1980s “refit” was a cheap-jack act of vandalism only beaten by leaving the poor old girl to rot on a salt flats.

I think is called a fox wedge.
You could use a router,pattern bit and a template to cut the mortises on the beams.
Never mind on the router comment. Did not know the mortise was going all the way through the beam.
too late unless they go thru the bulk head
A well deserved Smug face Simon!! Great job with that beam guy's!!
She’s so rotten but you guys have really stepped up to the plate and are getting her done your own way. Hats off to you both. At this time, you might be more aware why so many of us had serious doubts about you accomplishing this job. You’re proving us wrong! 👍 but, you still have a long way to go.❤
As it is afterall a WOOD boat, showing the beauty of grain with the varnish is the way to go. Loving the showing of wood theme.
I keep saying the same thing over and over … you guys are FEARLESS! I just love your channel. You’re doing the world a solid, bringing the old girl back to life. 🇨🇦
Been doing woodworking for 40 years, mortise and tendons are super strong. That is the perfect joint to use to join those two beams.
40 years, mortise and tendons, wtf lol
Best boat rebuild on TH-cam 😊
3 and a half year later this is just fantastic! Nothing but good vibes. 😁

Fantastic episode you two get better each week working together ❤
Bloody hell. You two are incredible. Never thought you’d get this far. Love to you both!
What a triangle type plate to be screwed under the connecting beams to minimize the strength on the wood connection.
I love watching all the progress every week
you did the right thing packing it in when you both were tired plus the weather turned against you, I have found to my cost to carry on when tired seldom gives good results.
Will be weird not smashing my head in in the bow area next time 🤣
Hi robbo only think of you at beginning of video you need to appear on deck and finish that cabin😂😂

Simon the tunnels meeting up was a clever analogy.
I LOVE Dan the Gardner! He’s doing an amazing job with his chateau. I can’t believe he has all the levels in and most of the roof back up.
To tighten up the joint between the two pieces , use a hand plane on some scrap wood to create a few long , intact , shavings . Insert and glue the shavings into the hole then pound in the beam . Trim off the extra with a sharp chisel . Looking good you two !

For the supporting beam. Drill 2.round holes through the wall and into the deck beam. Drive 2 oak pegs with glue.
So cool to see you both working so well toegether , it really is the secret to your success with this project. Loving the build and the relationship.
Great joinery work. Its delightful to watch you make great progress on your project. Keep up the great work and your joyful attitude.

I love the woodwork and the sudden discoveries. Thanks for sharing. Oregon, USA.
At least once you get further aft you can stand some beams on the exhaust tunnels, screw the uppers to the hull and run some ropes between them for added safety when working above decks... Also, for the stanchions, square aluminium tubes can be inserted, marked at deck level, notched and bent to whatever upright position you like, then welded up. The uppers will all be painted anyway, so they will blend right in. Plus, being hollow, you can run wires up from below without drilling holes in the deck... You can drill and counter-sink holes below the tenons, insert S.S. screws and finish with wood plugs for an almost invisible join... This old retired sailor thinks you both are doing great work! 👍
Personally I think your woodwork is excellent.
Please oh please apply glue to the end grain of any timber you are replacing, this is where the deterioration/rot always starts. I would like to think the rebuild is going to last another 100 years. I would love to be there on that glue gun squirting it everywhere !
Really admire your positive approach to this project no matter how difficult the challenges ahead, what a fantastic attitude!
It is just so exciting to see so much new wood on Sarinda!
The two of you are blessed to be able to do this kind of work and enjoy it. Have a great day from Texas
You two are awesome!! It is with out a doubt going to be beautiful. Your dedication to details is impressive!
I missed this when it came out on Patreon…sick again w/ fevers and weird dreams so some of it was familiar. This week’s makes more sense though. Love the nails, Gemma, as usual. Neat hearing Simon talking about how he sees the weight distribution and how much material something needs.
Use recessed carriage bolts for the big beam and they can be hidden from each end.
