You know, Mads. I've been watching you for a long while now. Your amazing. I like your work ethic. You get the job done. No baha baha. I wouldn't mind buying a sailboat in the 60's or 70 foot range, to have a go at. It would be fun. Thanks, Mads for the videos. When your all done, you could have finished a year sooner if you had not brought us a long. Thank you for the journey.
Next video please! 👍😎
Oh! This is for your girl. 💐 From you fans.
Even though you've explained somethings a million times, I value being reminded why you choose which fibreglass cloth, use thickened vs non thickened epoxy, re-coating times etc... it never gets boring for me. Thanks for all the great videos to date... I've seen them all!
Hello! I've been binging all your Project Athena videos, and loving every glorious-sanding moment of them. I went to load this video, and I'm getting "This video is unavailable on your device". Has it been deleted?
Keep up the amazing work - you're a huge inspiration!
Thank you Mads for the great video and thank you Audible for sponsoring creators like Mads.
You are amazing. I HATE sending fibreglass. Hate hate hate. You bathe in glass dust and never look that uncomfortable.. amazing
I just klicked around some of your earlier videos. What a difference. You have become a real boatbuilder and a TH-cam professional! It is amazing to see your personal and technical progress. Look how fast you are! Today, you could install a Refleks oven in a day (as a sidekick while building a new rudder)... Aaand: You should consider a bonus video like Davids „not a vlog“, where you show all the timelapse videos in real time. That would be nice DIY-meditation for fans like us :) Have fun in L.A.!
Say hi to Ava from all of us . Have a nice trip. Athena is looking better every day. Love the tech room.
this channel is my favourite thing about a sunday evening (in the uk) thankyou for always being punctual with uploads!
Denis O'brien same
Yup me too
Absoluetly!!
Hi Mads - I think you should consider painting the technical area white: it will make it easier to light and if you drop screw and other components like o-rings and such, it will be much easier to find them against a white surface because they will stand out more. :-)
Just a thought in your technical space - I assume you're also going to have access through a cockpit locker. That way there's ventilation, light, headroom when working down there and easy access to get bulky stuff in and out
Super!
My boat is out of the water for the winter at home in Sweden. I am in the sun in Florida. In a few weeks I will start my own much smaller refitting work by removing the diesel. It will then be replaced by an electrical motor. Should be finished when the boat is ready for the water in the spring.
You`re going to have a fantastic boat when you`re finished. I love the extent you go to to make everything perfect. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Smart move mounting that electrical equipment on top of the old bunk ! If you do get water in the boat beyond the bilge, that equipment will be the last to flood. All other electronics should be mounted as high as possible. You may even want to consider mounting some kind of secondary battery for radios and other navigation equipment up high near the electronics. A small LiFePO4 battery pack and charger would be good.
I'm interested in seeing how you plan on sealing the door to the "technical area" from the shower.
Mads, I think you secretly like sanding 😂
Omg I was using the Athena playlist to catch up after subscribing but there are so many videos that aren't on it, I missed soooo much! Oh well now I have more to watch then I thought!
Safe Travels Mads. Another great video sharing your newest creation. Thanks for sharing
Awesome work and great video work as well. You and your fiance will be rewarded with an excellent cursing sailboat capable of going anywhere in the world. Thanks again for sharing your efforts with the rest of the world. Cheers and enjoy the trip to LA... Joe
Best video yet! I had to rewind today I think this is the best DIY sailing channel, that said cheers Mess ❤😂🎉
Another great episode Mads. Athena is going to be an epic boat when she's finished. There is a rather tired looking Warrior 38 three berths away from me in the marina and I keep thinking "Mads needs to have a word" LoL!
Hey Mads, i have a tip for your sanding costume, get yourself (a few) race type balaclava. The open face type. In theory, you put your full face mask/respirator on, then get the oversized balaclava, slip it on, and that should keep the nasty stuff out. I used to do this whenever i'd work in unpleasant environments (i gave up now and just use a surplus Hazmat suit).
Nothing like CAD Cardboard aided design
Best of the refit video series. congratulations.👏👏👏👍🚣♂️
Thank you Mads for another glorious sanding and tabbing and glassing video! Amazing progress. With all of the work you have done I'm beginning to think any boat, new to used and still floating, is nothing more than a starter kit for building the boat of your dreams. Have a safe trip to see Ava.
Mads, you are my boat repair hero
you actually said yahtzee :D havent heard that in a while!
8:16 You can do it Captain Fiddlybits!
I was thinking about when you're sanding and using your vacuum cleaner if I was you I would put the vacuum cleaner on the outside of your boat with the tubes that are used in Central vacs in houses so when you turn on your vacuum cleaner outside it's just sucking the dust out of the cabin when you have the vacuum cleaner inside the cabinet it's sort of blowing dust around. And with this configuration you don't need a high-quality vacuum you can get a cheaper one with a high volume of suction with no need for a HEPA filter
Beautiful work Mads, your boat is going to be strong and unique. You have really put your soul into her refit. I can't wait to see her completed.
That boat is going to outlive all of us.
have a great visit. Cheers from PEI Canada, Bryan.
Yes, a mechanical and tool room would be great on a boat--good idea Mads. Don't forget to well insulate this room to avoid condensation (and supply moving air?).
I really enjoy your work and attention to detail. I'll be watching all the way!
Excellent videos. Love the way you edit so as to move through tedious tasks but still let the viewer participate in seeing the progress as it happens. Meticulous and expert fabrication and glass work to. Very interesting.
Nice work on the bulkhead. I was surprised at how much room was in the technical area after it was cleaned out.
Really starting to take shape inside. You have a real knack for doing this kind of work.
Invested a lot of excellent viewing time watching you rebuild this boat, loved every glorious minute
If you enjoyed 'two years before the mast', then check audible for the 'Thomas Kydd' series of books. They are absolutely amazing being based on the true story of Thomas Kydd' who was press ganged into the navy and ended up being a Lord Admiral!!
I have to say Mads, your ability to work in such a confined space never seems to amaze me.I have a factory and massive workspace and still end up in a mess.Superb job buddy. Safe trip to the U.S.Ross
Thanks Ross! Eagerly awaiting your next video :)
Most marine inverters have cooling fans and big heat sinks for a reason. They don't like hot, confined spaces. Yours will appreciate a location some distance away from your boat's boiler (cabin heater system).
Ok there is 30 comments at this point, and nobody has commented on the fuzzy red dice behind you at 4:28. Im assuming those are high horsepower go fast dice, to help Athena get up on plane faster. Love the channel and your humor. Peace out buddy.😝😀⚓
Haha :D We all know red dice makes things go faster ;)
Really forging ahead now Mads, looking great and the technical area is not as pokey as I thought it would be. Andy UK
This reminds me of several of your past video's Mads..Lots of "Glorious Sanding".. Heck if it wasn't for that, your video's would be, well, lacking the "Glorious Sanding"..Kind of like a Grilled Cheese Sandwich without Cheese. Making the interior of Athena a very comfortable to look at Home..Beautiful vision and application of that vision is working !!
Oh man, great progress. That bulkhead looks fabulous.
My skin starts to itch just watching this channel.
Since the technical area is isolated from the rest or the vessel...look at enlarging the engine access door to make engine work even easier...great videos, keep them coming
p.s. even add more insulation and make it even more comfy in the tech area!!!
That is going to be one heck of a tech bay Mads, even though you had to rip out all of the wiring etc that you installed in the aft cabin I think it will be worth it in the end, enjoy your 2 weeks guys, moving day will soon be here 🎉🎉🎉 less ✈ more ⛵
You have achieved Warp 1 on the project. Lotsa progress!
Haven’t heard much about your boat dog! How’s he doing?
Have a great trip and enjoy the non-Danish weather ;)
One heck of a lot of work. You are amazing.
Another great Sunday. Thanks Mads the old girl is starting to look great! Have a great trip, sadly we have to wait for more progress.
Have a great trip; looking forward to seeing more when you get back
For the Q&A segment ....you have your notes on the bulkhead....do you have an updated punch list for what you want to get done and a time frame...?
Safe travels Mads...
Another great episode.
Maybe you can install some kind of slider at the bottom of the tech-compartment to get easily in and out.
Man that's a lot of work done a big step forward
The most interesting video in months!
Hi Mads, Great episode, as always. Looking at the way that the light streams in through the fibreglass of the patch in your head - what about leaving a clear patch as a “light panel”? You could coat the outside with a clear UV protector and you’d have light in your head without the fuss of being able to see in or have to clean the window...
It will be interesting to see how you get ventilation in your tech area. Your moving along nicely now that the structural members are finished. Hey great weather here in L.A. right now, enjoy your stay.....
I have the passion to follow your skillful work. I like your character of perfecting things.
Hey Made. When you in California look at a Vactagon drum vacuum that you can use a 55 gal Drum. It will be better for your Lungs
Hi, as with some of the other comments, this episode is showing as not available?
Just thought I'd let you know.
Loving the videos, trying hard to catch up!
OMG! You get so much done each week. Are you still working???
If you put several hundreds pounds of stuff in the starboard technical compartment, you might give some thought to what will offset it on the port side, else the boat will have a permanent list to starboard. Usually heavy equipment is kept more on centerline.
Hi Mads. Awesome video. What kind of machine do you use for sanding? And what kind of sandpaper? And which type of dust cleaner? Maybe you could make a video on what kind of tools you use? Cheers.
I still think you should put a couple of fuel polishing filters and a small pump just aft of the water maker. You could put a small day tank above the bathroom sink and the Refleks heater on that small 45 degree bulkhead between the settee and the bathroom door.
Oh No! another bootie call???? Why not have Ave come to Denmark so the work
will continue? Or is one purpose to shop for cheaper things needed for the boat?
Ava is in the middle of her studies. Travelling back and forth to Denmark would disrupt that.
If you really love the type of work you do ..this is the end result .....just amazing .
Always look forward to your latest video. Never disappointed.
👍👌❤🇨🇦 safe trip Mads, really enjoy your meticulous detail to the project
Epic project. You are undeterred by any obstacle! Wonderful
Wow it's really starting to come together, so inspirational...
It looks GREAT!
Looking great, thank you for the video. Have a safe flight to LA, enjoy your time with Ava.
Another awesome video, always look forward to watching the next week's episode.😁🤟🤟
Thank you for another awesome video Mads. That technical room is going to be awesome! As I was watching today, I thought an interesting video you could make for the next time you visit Ava would be about tool details - what type of blade you use on the oscillating tool, various grits of sandpaper for various jobs, etc. I know what I use, but you have way more hours of actual experience and I would be interested in what you have found works best. Safe travels :)
Mads, Biltema has pre cut 10cm fiberglass strips.
I meant to comment last time when you were talking about about the settee back cushions: Skip those backs altogether and just add a bunch of nice throw pillows - looks better, easier to clean, more practical/comfortable, opens up the space - www.airbnb.com/rooms/2643936
Always enjoy your project videos.
Awesome! You got a lot done this episode. Looking forward to the upcoming work.
Duma key is a great book
great video.. awesome progress
Are you a professional boat builder? It looks like so :-) What material do you use to make templates? MDF? What thickness?
I think I'm going to send you a shirt that says "I Love Sanding Fiberglass" with a guy itching his neck...LOL
i just figured out the perfect alter ego for athena, the s/s Sandy. for all the sanding you had to do :)
Sandy could be used as a dinghy name? LOL
Looks pretty dang spiffy!!!!!
Yes! Waited all day for this!!!
Tech area looks amazing ! What about a large section of copper mesh laid against the interior hull surface - while its exposed - to have a proper ground plane for electronics ?
that reveal/lip on the lower part of the access hatch - if it was me trying to get through there - would quickly be damaged from dragging tools, big feet, knees and probably my head in a rolling seaway. perhaps consider placing a small block there to make a flat spot that you can velcro a cushion to pad your knees when you're crawling in/out. i HATE boat yoga and anything to make it more comfy is always a plus with me.
Mads, while you're building in the head and sorting out your nice tech room, are you keeping ventilation in mind? I may be jumping ahead of you. I'm curious as to how you will vent that space and also how your engine space is vented. I am planning to build a Selway-Fisher 45ft Teign MB. It has a similar aft section with quarter bunks that I plan to use for ship's systems. Thanks for posting up and good work on the foam and glass bulkhead. You make it look easy but I know the truth. I've been there before. LOL
Great job! I really enjoy watching your videos!
Did you consider making room in the bench in the tech area for stacking plastic crates to orderly store your tools , spare parts, etc etc! This instead of the compartment with the access hole.
It's great to see your week to week progress. For some reason "other" boat building videos seem to be getting pretty tedious and losing momentum over time. Maybe it's just me, anyway great job and Safe Travels!
Nice work and video as always.
As much as I want to see the main area done (galley etc.) ... Given you will have limited work space when done that area, are you going to finish out the berth (sleeping area) first. That way you have more work/storage space and are less likely to damage any of the finished work.
Wow you have the patience of Job nice job again!
Amazing job !!! Keep up the great work.
Will the technical area get hot with all that electrical equipment? Will you add a fan or some sort of cooling method?
I've been watching your refitting series and first time encountering a message 'This video is unavailable on this device.' I wonder what happened, has it been flagged? I googled it and tried methods it shows and failed every attempts. I'm just gonna move on to next episode, but I would love to watch it as soon as its available.
