Mads...no reason to apologize for the work you have done and still do to get the boat sorted. What you are showing (and living) is the honest truth of what one of these projects involves, and they involve monotony, misery, and bone tired days and nights. The TV shows that squeeze these car and boat "restorations" into 45 minutes of cool and shiny stuff are doing a disservice to the people out there who don't know what they don't know. Keep up the good work, sir. Those who have felt the itch of fiberglass and have busted knuckles on rusty, greasy old parts...and who always have cuts on their hands...we salute you...
I know this is an old Video, but I just watched it. I want to say what a great achievement this represented, getting all the structural members reinforced. Great work !
Nothing wrong with repetitive glass work videos. Glass work is a huge part of boat maintenance, and pretty scary. I learn from your videos.
Congratulations on your landmark of completing the supports
Making headway isn't always easy when your making plans for the future an adventure in itself. All the good stuff in the future will be as exciting as the past, look forward to it Mads, keep smiling and think positive, sanding and glassing is never going to end, just in smaller portions. All's good !!
I’m glad you had a good time with your Fiancé, but I’m glad your back to the restoration work and all your thoughts of how to get them done.
Good to have you back safe and sound. Looking forward to some excellent carpentry...
Repetitive it maybe, but it’s still important that we see it. Your making great progress Mads. It’s good to have back.
Welcome back, your adoring fans missed you!!
Seriously, you should stop referring to Athena as a Warrior 38 at this point. With an extensive rebuild as this, this is clearly a Mads 38.
ship of Theseus
Aye. He earned it.
That Hull is going to be way stiffer than when she was new.
Greg Pearcey you make a good point
I agree - she's a Mads Modified Warrior 38 (MM Warrior?)
Congratulations on reaching this major milestone!
I dont mind repetitive videos. I'm here to watch the progress. Thanks for filming and editing awesome content.
Beautiful job of reinforcing the structure. Congratulations.
Finally hitting a milestone. Well done.
Good to see you back, l trust you had a relaxing and well deserved vacation. I just wanted to comment on your decision to allow your head to clear before using power tools, very wise indeed. Looking forward as you and all your followers are to finally see the start of building on top of the sole.
well done - I remember feeling very depressed when you got to those rotten structural members - so happy you are now back on track
I have to say your glass work looks great.
Looking forward to the next phase of the rebuild.
Wow, I’ve never experienced Mads with drawl before, but happy your home safe and sound with a bit of bounce in your step! Been with you from day one buddy! Looking forward to splash time.
Brother!...when you pulled up that cabin sole and started poking around and said you were gonna rip everything out, I was legit mad. AT YOU! Bahahaha. I had to stop myself from commenting bc I didn’t want to be negative. I was just like, “oh my god! He’s being ridiculous! He’s done all that work inside already! Why?!” But I kept it to myself (until now, but this will end good I promise! Haha) and I’m glad I did because now I’m super happy/excited with you that you are done with those structural repairs! It’s weird watching you. I have all these emotions like I’m invested and as if this is MY boat or something! It’s clearly not. It’s just a weird byproduct of watching someone for so long on TH-cam. Anyway, congrats Mads.
I found out about your channel by watching Boatworks Today. Cool to see you give Andy a shoutout. Love both your channels.
It's always so uplifting to see someone I admire getting a book or tool that I already have and find useful. :D
My Monday morning routine is now back on track again. Welcome back
Nice to see you again! Rest up!
Yes I like Andy's channel to Mad's very informative as is your channel Thanks so much I love it.
Yayyyyyyy your back 🥰 now back too glorious sanding ! So happy you and Ava had a fabulous 2 weeks together but we missed our Sunday fix. To you it probably seems never ending but every week that goes by is closer to the time when you both will be sailing around the world together and that makes all the time and sweat equity worthwhile.
Congrats on that milestone. Fiberglass work isn't for the faint of heart. I for one enjoy every minute of watching how you stay with it and do a quality job, every time.
Mads is back! I'm so excited I can spend weekends aboard Athena watching the progress of this Thesseus ship.
Mads , You've pushed thru some really tough projects and maintained a positive attitude very inspiring . The interior will be a treat to watch as it comes together .
Week after week after week with you laying fiberglass. Yet I'm here first thing Sunday evening to watch you do it!
Amazing work .
Mads, you and Andy (@BoatworksToday) are both excellent content producers. I have not been surprised that the two of you have been in touch over the years. His professional knowledge and experience, plus your DIY hands-on examples and overcoming of obstacles, make for great complimentary content. Keep up the great work on Athena, and great content production! We want to see her set sail only when everything is "Spiffy" and ready to get underway!
And don't worry about the repetitive content; some projects, or portions of projects, take time to complete, but as your videos have shown, there is always progress. That's important!
Well done, Mads! Looking forward to great future content!
C'ya!!!
Great to see my old friend back!
Glad to see you back
I would never get tired of watching your rebuild journey, whether it is more sanding or laying of glass👍❤🇨🇦
I hope you and Ava had a nice time together. Never tired of your videos it helps to fill a Sunday.
Hi you are a gem and Ava a diamond .You look knackered but still you post a vid for us guys, amazing.
Your channel is the discovery channel but better !!!! No adverts.
Best Regards
Always learn a lot from your videos.
Progress is progress. Good job!
Hope you had a nice holiday. Missed you
Built not bought top notch vids keep it going
Congratulations on the progress
Mads, take a look at Life on the Hills to see how Ross treated his limber holes, a really neat idea that finishes the job really well.
Welcome Back, Mads !!!!
Hooray Mads is back!
Glad you're back and you had a wonderful safe trip with Ava
Teh Mega Booms are awsome. You'll love it. Get a few more to link them together!
2 week without laying glass was tough to handle! Whew good for another week! 1 up on the Mads 38, you've proven your quality superior to anything warrior has done.
Missed you. Welcome back!
Welcome home, you and your videos were sorely missed.
Ah! My Sunday evenings are complete again.
I hope your sojourn to the sunny US was restful and you had a great time with Ava.
Welcome back Mads! Always happy to watch your progress. The glassing marathon has been instructive.
Congrats on another milestone!
“Swirly in the Nogen” - you’ll be back to normal in no time - hope you had a great trip to LA - looking forward to more progress - Regards
Welcome back!! I want to complain too short video... Just kidding we miss you mate!
Great to have you back Mads! Congrats on finishing the structural members!
Welcome back. I went into sanding withdrawal so I went out and bought a sander and some wood and set about making wood dust out of 2X4s. Got a good supply. 😁
welcome back Mads! great to see you working at Athena again!
YAY Glad you are Back
Outstanding job, she is getting real close now!
Good call stocking up on wool clothing! I work outside in northern Sweden and as you can imagine, clothes are absolutely vital for keeping comfortable in our -30 degree winters. I've taken to wearing merino wool socks year round (in differing thickness), and when winter hits my first or second layer is all wool, and this habit keeps me warm and dry better than anything else I've tried. Even in summer, I find my feet are much drier with wool socks on them.
I am glad to see you home and looking forward to more glorious sanding content. It sounds like you had a great time visiting the states. I've always enjoyed my visits across the border. The people are usually quite welcoming.
You're a true inspiration Mads! Your videos always motivate me to get off my butt and get to work in the shop. Thanks!
Thanks for all the time and effort you put into making these videos. I've really enjoyed catching up on all of the Athena series. Keep up the great work!
Mads 38 YES and its looking great keep it coming , I cant wait for your sailing videos
Welcome back, buddy.
I am currently at a similar stage to you just put in new floor beams,new chain plate web and just thinking about the floor. I ,luckily don’t have any existing structures to work around. Just about to start grinding the floor beams and the hull to paint it., so I bought myself a blue tooth headset. I am with you being able to listen to music takes some of the boredom out of the job and I can hear it above the grinder.
Keep on trucking.
Welcome back! Also congratulations on finishing the structural members. Woohoo!
WooHoo! Mads is back, it turns out glorious sanding (in reruns) not so glorious. Hope you had a great vacation.
Glad to see you’re back and you enjoyed your time in LA, Mads! I can’t wait to see the transformation of the interior over the next few weeks now that the structural members are done.
Always great work
Now I’m wishing you had started with a salvage boat because you have done so much and could have brought anything back with that work you’ve done
Great work mate very impressive
I have that same speaker and it’s amazing!
I enjoy watching you work since you work hard and the quality you put in shows!
If you have the time to mod something like that, putting a bigger tube on the shroud helps with dust management. Shorter hose to the vacuum helps too. I 3D printed mine with the same nose ID has the hose and it never lets dust out.
Welcome back .I must say I cant wait for interior rebuild
Missed you glad to see you back. Next time your in the states come to south Georgia I'll take you fishing.
Welcome home...
Nice your back!
Sir!
Love your channel!
As a professional/instructor in the field of cinema and production, a little helpful hint with your wireless mic.
Your connection going into the wireless transmitter (TX), on the mic cable, has frayed and is shorting out (when moved). Or, it’s the end near the mic (just below the mic) that has decided too many pulls, tucks and pulls have occurred.
And I am sure, with you being the perfectionist that you are, that you: 1) Know it already, and 2) It is driving you crazy because you only find out in the edit bay (this is why I monitor my audio at all times, something that would be very tough for you to do).
It doesn’t sound like the TX has been dropped too many times… if it’s the TX, you will hear a hissing and drop. Anyway, I am not sure what type wireless you use, but the issue is always a hassle for pros, too. A little heat shrink on both ends (doubled up won’t hurt, either) will hasten the demise, if you’re up to doing it. The thin mic cables will thank you!
Thanks again for the channel and all the hard work!

2:04 "I'm pretty sure you guys are sick and tired of seeing me laying up glass"
11:06 "... the repetitive content ...of laying up glass ..."
@Mads: are you serious? You are the only vloger who managed to fascinate his subscriber 2y long (or more?) just with glorious sanding and laying up glass! And you wanna stop now sanding and laying up glass 🤔
SCNR 😃
It could be Mads showing us paint drying, we'd still watch.
@@philgray1023
Actually, something similar would be very interesting.
The idea: A THICK layup of fiberglass shot in time-lapse with FLIR camera footage inset in a corner of the frame showing the temperature change over the duration of the cure.
Welcome back. Looking forward to the bilge work, I have the same deep dark stinky bilge and want to fill it as well.
Always interesting what ever you may be working on!!
I was starting to have saillife withdrawal... Yeeeeiiiii
Hopefully as a viewer we are invited on the honeymoon 🤔🤫👍❤
Me to
Mats, glad you’re back. Can’t wait to see how the interior will be made
So glad you are back safely! Can't wait for the rebuild to start.
Nice to see you back , I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms.lol
Mads, for this type of lamination (so many layers) you should consider to cut each layer with 20mm gap from the previous. So the last layer is the biggest. This way you will distribute the load, avoiding cutting zones.
We enjoy your videos so keep on working … You are always interesting ,,,
Welcome back!
Looks like a UE Boom...We have an original model, and we love it.
godt at se du nød ferien Mads --- now back to work some glorius glorius sanding is waiting :-) hilsen Ærø
I wouldn’t watch if I didn’t enjoy your content, been a very interesting process.
Have you ever seen the Onboard Lifestyle Channel? This Guy/Family is restoring (already done yet) an old Catamaran and I like them alot.
Welcome back
I dread the day you are finished rebuilding......
Awesome job
Congratulation Mads on a job very well executed, from discovery to engineering to method to finished result, absolutely 100%. Good plan on the Chain plate Knees too, can those be engineered as well ? It would be reassuring if they were, I really hope CFD guy is up for it. All the best....
Nice Job!
Wahaaay, Mads is back, was about to check in for therapy!!!
Thank god you survived the trip to CA!
Looking Pretty Dang Spiffy!
