Herb, You need to learn to use CAD for those projects. It would save you a lot of time. CAD - stands for cardboard aided design. Build cardboard patterns first and then go after the wood. It did turn out really nice and should be a lot easier to keep clean.
Ohhh! I’m exhausted after that, and feeling a little dizzey. I think its time for a beer, while I sit back and think about the fabulous job l’ve...you’ve, ..yes you’ve done there Herbie.
Well.….. That didn't take long. Totally reconstructed the head in a little over 10 minutes! ;-)Seriously, an amazing amount of work. You are a talented guy! Great job!
And finally, dental school has payed off. Herbie layed that glass like he’s putting down amalgam. Hehe. That was a very nice video. Not that often you get to see the complete refit. Great music M. Looking forward to the next video. Have fun. 👍🙏❤️🍷
My favorites were the glass work, and the effort he had to go to in order to get that last piece of wood to fit at the top of the wall. That took some craftsmanship to get that piece cut to exactly the right shape! Good job man, you are indeed a skilled and intelligent person. I'd like to think we are really similar. I can admire what Herb does, because I too worked hard in school, and I try my best at everything I do. It makes me feel good that there are still people that try and excel rather than sitting on the couch watching TV and drinking 40's all day. There are so many people around me that do this, that sometimes it makes me feel lonely or retarded somehow. Though I know I shouldn't feel that way, it is however the reality of the situation. Most of the people out there just float through life to enjoy themselves at other's expense.
Great vid! Thanks for the awesome videos! How has the copper sink held up so far? Do you have to clean it any certain way? I'm thinking about adding a copper sink to my boat and I wonder if there's anything special I need to buy or do to take care of it. I'm hoping to eventually refit my head as well, and I really like the look of copper with stone and wood. Thanks for your input!
It’s held up really well! I was worried that the salt water that pours in the hatch during a boarding wave would corrode the sink into a green ball of death, but it’s held up just fine! Every so often, I clean it with a loofa (after I use the loofa to clean me with the leftover soap in the loofa). If it gets some green spots, I’ll rub it with Mother’s Metal Polish. It cleans it up and keeps it from turning green. I could polish it to be a bright copper color but the maintenance would be murder. I keep it with a healthy level of patina so I can have a healthy level of relaxation.
Beautufull job guys! I've been binge watching all your videos in preparation for our winter haulout and maintenance period....just to reaffirm that hard work pays off in the end 😀 Question though, where does the shower water go ? And could it stick around under that raised floor or is it contained within in that grey box and redirected from there so you can inspect for mold etc?
What products did you use? I'd like to do some work to a boat that we picked up recently but my guy doesn't want to put any money (or time) into it. I'd like for it to at least be nice while we have it.
I used nine mm SK-78 from New England Ropes. It was their STS-HSR, heat set dyneema. *Sorry, the #nine key on my keyboard just stopped working so that's why I had to write it out.
Nice job! You know I watch a lot of these boat renovation video's and can't tell you how many people spend hours using a finish sander to strip paint, when it could have been done in minutes using an angle grinder with a sanding pad and 40 grit paper...........I guess I'm just lazy!
I used 40 on the orbital to speed things up. I tried a grinder one time to take off paint and all I did was cut shallow depressions in the surface which took forever to fair out. I do t trust myself to do that again!
Nice. Curious about the constant moister exposure of the chain plates and whether some sort of coating would be ideal. Also, all that space between the wall and hull below and between the chain plates feels hungry for a large but removable (for chain plate work) cabinet. :)
I like the idea of a cabinet in there, but time was running out so I just had to board it up. Luckily everything is screwed together so I can always change it in the future! The chainplates were coated in rust preventing paint for iron, because the chainplates are made out of iron. It does wonderful things in a saltwater sailing boat! If I keep them painted and maintain the paint, they hold up well.
Rigging Doctor. Hi Herb not a fan of the exposed screw heads but I see now it was part of your plan to allow easy access to the chain plates. By the way awesome job with limited tools and facilities. Cheers Chris
I've just destroyed the old head in my Jeanneau Espace and your timelapse makes it look real fast and easy.. which I know it's not going to be. Are you using epoxy or polyester resin for the glassing?
I started with epoxy, but that got very expensive quickly! I switched over to polyester after a gallon of epoxy was used. Time wise, the project took 6 months but a few months were spent back in the states and away from the boat; so in reality it was only about 4 months of work. Good luck and keep me posted on how it comes along 🙂
Likewise.. the one place you don't seal the timber, is the one place the water will find.. guaranteed. I'm pretty sure that's a subset of Murphy's Law.
The wood I used is Cryptomeria (Japanese cedar) and it is very rot resistant, untreated. Adding oil just helps them live longer. When I pulled a few of the boards after piling to install the plumbing, I was pleased to see that the backs of the boards were oily. It’s not as perfect as directly applying oil to those sides, but the surface is wet and hopefully lasts. Te really good part is I will get a good view of the backs and ends every year when I pull the boards to check the chainplates. If I see something happening (or simply at the first inspection) I can oil the backs of the boards.
@@RiggingDoctor Hey dude, say, you have an issue with using paint rollers? or it's just that you love using paint brushes too much? You know how much faster the work would have gone? in boat yards, we use brushes only where rollers don't fit. Another detail, all the void space between the different foam pieces should normally be filled with low density compound before fiberglassing. It would also have been better to finish-caulk the corners with Sikaflex PU compound instead of Silicone compound. That way it's good for several years.
I only had 2 foam rollers and a whole bag of brushes. I was saving the rollers for the deck, but sure wish I had used them in here! I had to cut out a lot of the footage to keep the video from being boring with tedious details. The total raw footage in time lapse was 47 minutes! I filled all the gaps with 405 and epoxy.
I had to LOL! First off, great first song choice, but that's not what got me. Watching you fiber in barefeet..I was like, damn...then next scene...plastic bags on the feet. I lost it. LOL
The music you have selected to go with this video is very disturbing. So much so that I am not returning to watch any thing else. I would question the reason a person would choose such lyrics. Good luck with your future videos. Fair winds ~
I thought it was appropriate since the old head looked nice when we started tearing into it. The rot was discovered after we started the dismantling so that wasn’t a thought in our head when we began ripping out the old setup.

Can't express how valuable this video is... Wish more would do this to help frame your efforts.
Nicely done. Good sailing ⛵️!
Looks beautiful 😍
Thank you!
U nailed it again Herbie. What talent.
I am glad all that custom work was you and not me. Can’t wait to see you back on the the water. Cheers from Canada.
It was a ton of work and we are really looking forward to getting out there!

I like that type of CAD 😎
I've never heard that music, but then I'm a dinosaur. Interesting choice for a sound track I thought, wow cool!
GREAT VIDEO REBUILDING MINE NOW
Excellent! Hope it goes well :)
Ohhh! I’m exhausted after that, and feeling a little dizzey. I think its time for a beer, while I sit back and think about the fabulous job l’ve...you’ve, ..yes you’ve done there Herbie.
Great video guys. That was a lot of hard work.
Wow, loved this video! So much work. Great job! Great everything! Video, editing, music, and final result!
Looks amazing! Happy sailing!
I am exhausted just watching you do the work! :)
WOW! Absolutely beautiful! Amazing job!
Well.….. That didn't take long. Totally reconstructed the head in a little over 10 minutes! ;-)Seriously, an amazing amount of work. You are a talented guy! Great job!
Thanks!
I don’t know why Maddie complained so much about the project taking forever?! 😂🤣
@@RiggingDoctor haha, my usual reply to that sort of thing is: "I said I'd do it - you don't have to keep reminding me every six months..." :-D
Cutting out that rotten foam looked like a nightmare!! Nice work though I like the rustic finished look!!
Hi. Now I have an idea of what's to do. Really good Video. Please going on.
Nice work!
And finally, dental school has payed off. Herbie layed that glass like he’s putting down amalgam.
Hehe. That was a very nice video. Not that often you get to see the complete refit. Great music M.
Looking forward to the next video. Have fun.
👍🙏❤️🍷
Excellent dedication! Fantastic results! 👍🏻
☺️
Very nice! Congratulations!
First the choice of music is on an other level of excellence.
Second, how beautiful does that wood get with a little varnish / oil.
👍
Fabulous video.
Thanks :)
You made it look easy ;-)
Wow! He is fast! 😄
Hello ! Is the white layer you put on top of the fiberglass sikaflex ? Awesome video! Helpful for my own reno :)
It’s bilgecote paint from Interlux.

That one plank took me almost a full day of fitting! Pretty much the same amount of time to plank the whole wall was again spent on that one piece!
Looks great!!
👍

There’s a bilge pump that sucks it right out so it’s not hanging out under there. Hope you’re enjoying the binge!

Nice job !! it turned out awsome ? Herb i been wondering what size Dyneema you used on your rigging > thx

*Sorry, the #nine key on my keyboard just stopped working so that's why I had to write it out.
@@RiggingDoctor Thx Herb i like your design for the Galley sink top it is going to turn out great !!

Great job, and dont wish to be overly critical, but cant help wondering if you might regret sealing the backs and ends of the boards.

The real job to 6 months! I’m so glad it’s finished!!
Just curious. How tall are you? I'd just like a point of reference.
6’2”

hello cool saludos
Your pretty handy for a Dentist mine cant even start a BaBQ

Woodglut Blueprints has some very useful blueprints with all the details you need.
Old sink was sensible design. New fashionable sink is idiotic. Dangerous and totally inefficient. We bought a house with them. Ugh.
It is mostly ornamental. We think it looks pretty but we will only use it at anchor or in a marina.

lol! you know you can just hit mute and play your own gospel music or whatever you like. Maybe some nice non offensive polka music.
