I am awed to see the progress from a few dead trees to where you are now. It's been a ride and a half. I hope your pride in your accomplishments is greater than the struggles you have endured and the blood you have given. Give Swab some serious tickles and love from me. He's the best project manager. He gives the staff a goal for his new home and leaves them to it... Whilst also, silently, taking the piss out of the terrible attempted Australian accents. ;)
Great job! Great video! Sorry about the wrench jumping out and getting you in the forehead! Glad you are okay. It is so hard not to jump ahead, but I love binge watching your episodes! Take care!
I love that tile countertop. Adjustable wrenches are good for holding backup and busting knuckles (or foreheads). Terrible for loosening and tightening anything. But when it's all you have, it's all you have.
I must say Hollywood could learn a few things from you, your camera work and editing are outstanding, not to mention all the work you do building the boat. All the best to all three of you.
Nothing says commitment to the task, than hitting that deep of a gash to your own head. Hat is off here! Also a relief to see those consumable blocks between the iron and the hull. Just remember to pack spares on board. :) That counter looks amazing!
Ouch! Been there, done exactly that. I swore more than you did, Ruth ...... 🤪 ....... hope it’s healing ok. Stay safe guys, we need to see you sailing .... ⛵️🤞👍🏼
There is just soo much work happening all at once with projects and completion getting closer so quickly, we will soon be watching a sailing blog. Stay Safe and keep up the great work
Ruth you are a star, great to see you rolling up your sleeves and wielding those tools, a bit of blood, sweat and tears build boats and lots of character :)
The counter tops are really beautiful work well done. Ratlines awesome and strong. Garrett you r rope work and tiller looking great also. I think maybe your backing plate was redone on the one piece. Ruth bless your heart, yes get the socket for that work. How are you treating through hull holes against weather? Your splicing is always very nice. Best wishes from Georgia and respect sent. Thank you all for sharing. You have some talented friends who are helping. 👍👏⛵️⚓️
Welcome to the club Ruth. So I got a story for ya involving me, a 7/16th wrench, and a set of headers. I got a new set of headers for my 20th birthday for my first car, a 67 Mustang. While attempting to tighten the torques head bolts I ran into one that was especially hard to get to. Being a bit frustrated and not thinking I leaned in over the bolt and pulled up hard. Next thing I knew I was sitting on the ground next to my car seeing stars. The wrench had slipped off the bolt head and I punched myself in the face wrench in hand. The wrench connected with my head just about the exact same place as your wrench did... ;-)
Love that counter top. More things done, more to go. Keep after it guys, it won't be long and you will be on the deep blue. Take care, stay well and the best thing for a knock on the old noggin is a cold beer held gently against the injury, then consumed shortly there after.
A mark on the forehead is called a bindi,. It identifies a married Indian woman but also symbolizes wisdom. So in my thinking, that happened just so everyone knows Ruth is very wise but could really use a socket and ratchet.
Sorry to see Ruth get bonked. I agree with Dave Jordan, sockets or box wrenches. (Dave must be a Brit). Another couple of points learned from working on cars. Always prefer a socket or box wrench, only use an open-end wrench if you can't get the box wrench on and never use a crescent wrench unless it's the only thing you have. Next if you are pushing on a wrench then use your open hand. Don't grab the wrench and push unless you want bloody knuckles. I'd go so far as to say that a cheap combination wrench is better than any crescent wrench. Harbor Freight is your friend even though everything they sell is crap.
Just came in mind watching this. Having hung rudder like that you really should make awesome windwane like Wave Rover has. Check out his videos if not familiar. He sailed across the Atlantic both directions alone only steering with that.
Yeah, socket set for sure, but in the meantime turn the adjustable wrench over so that the long top edge is pulling the tension and try to hold it as flat as possible , not tilted out away from the head of the bolt or the nut. That will help reduce the chance of it slipping off under tension. oweee...
I was pulling a nail out of a wall about the same height as my forehead. The nail finally budged and I wacked myself in between the eyes with my pliers.
Oh Ruth, if it makes you feel better, when I was 16, I was replacing a gearbox in my friend’s car & managed to smash a 14mm open-ended spanner through my top lip, and have have had to be careful when shaving my moustache for the 32 years since *eyeroll*
Counter top coming along great. I hope Ruth's head did not ache for too long. Sling the adjustable wrench overboard and get either or all box/ring or socket wrenches. Once you start to get some salty water on the adjustable wrench it will never work right again. Stay safe. Fair winds & regards from the UK
Depends on what type of grout they use. Theirs a product that comes in a caulking tube thats basically just caulk with sand in it ment for expansion joints. Its exspensive but two tubes would probably be enough for their small counter.
Oy, when you don't let the unicorn pee, she loses her horn. Leaving behind what looks like a bump on the noggin. Ha ha ha! Matching scars, the sign of the best relationships... I'd bet I'm not the only one who felt that one right along with ya, Ruthie. Took it like a champ, ya did though. Congrats! Battle scars only serve to proove you were in the fight, lass. Good on ya! Nice bit of progress this video. Yeah, Ruth, blame it on the head wound, that the inside block was misaligned. We'll take that bit of rubbish this time 😉. 😆😆😂😂
I'm not a fan of the chain plates but my opinion on that has no relevance.:) "BUT" I do have a suggestion. The backing block is too narrow. Sooner or later you are going to hit the dock. That skinny block will just shear the chain plate bolts right off. That block should be at least double the width of the current block. It's all about leverage and the fulcrum point on the bolt. Remember you have to do everything three times before you get it like you want it. Love you guys. Just keep on going. Yay, I saw my tiller. Whoo Hoo.
👁👁👁....Boat looking good..Was wondering,Did you ever think of adding a Crows Nest to your mast.??...I think that would add so much character..Not a huge one...a small one would be awesome....
In Aussie we have the same "Shifters" and "Ringies" but I've often noticed you Yanks use the Shifters a lot more than we do. Mostly we use Shifters when nothing else is handy and never used on anything important....which means for sure...RUTHIE!
@@patrickwentz8413 One day the USA will catch up to the real world and go metric. Many US manufacturers now make metric stuff. Non of the aero or auto manufactures use Imperial bolts these days. regards
I most always leave my blood mark on any project I work on, not intentionally I better add, just showing my ability to bless the project. Looking good guys, bleed less and prosper !!
I love the videos, thank you. I’m curious though. How much stuff have you lost in the water? Like tools and such? I feel like I would have already dropped half of my tools. Lol.
Have you guys looked at the new video series sailing yaba? They bought a wood boat and it's astounding how eaten up by worms it is. They're paying for all the rotten stuff to be replaced. My question is how do you plan to protect your boat from similar infestation? I've heard there's special paint.. Thanks
lovin the ratlines...lookin real pirate like.....but then spotted the empty "pale ale" bottles. Come on lift your game..time to change to a more pirate like beer
I need to send you a wrench set Ruth. Adjustable wrenches aren’t for a professional like yourself. 😂 Hope your headache went away. I’m so excited about the “rat lines” (sp).
How come you haven't made stairs for the cabin yet? I'd think that would be a top priority. You have probably answered this questions a thousand times by now.
My guess is some sort of dinghy group that hoists flags for signals (like starting races) - or maybe it's the marina office and they want some height for a VHF antenna?
I am awed to see the progress from a few dead trees to where you are now. It's been a ride and a half. I hope your pride in your accomplishments is greater than the struggles you have endured and the blood you have given.

I hope even more help is on the way because I see a giddiness about Garrett that hadn’t been there fir awhile. Time to go sailing!
Great job! Great video! Sorry about the wrench jumping out and getting you in the forehead! Glad you are okay. It is so hard not to jump ahead, but I love binge watching your episodes! Take care!
The Mexican tile looks nice.
Oh Routh, that hurt me to see. Don’t worry’s out look beautiful still... 👍🏼
Those adjustables are commonly called knuckle (forehead in your case) busters and nut rounders for a good reason.
Looking good! Nice shout out in Cruising World!
Remember....If anyone asks, you never make mistakes, only faulty executions.👍
Arrrg. Ruth you are truly a pirate now, battle scars and all. At least you won't need an eye patch. Love you guys and this vlog.
Talk about "BLOOD, sweat and tears"
I love that tile countertop. Adjustable wrenches are good for holding backup and busting knuckles (or foreheads). Terrible for loosening and tightening anything. But when it's all you have, it's all you have.
Poor Ruth 🌹🌹
9.9 she will speed up! Greetings from the Normandy, france!
Looking good!!
Love ur soul
I must say Hollywood could learn a few things from you, your camera work and editing are outstanding,

She tough, right on
Nothing says commitment to the task, than hitting that deep of a gash to your own head. Hat is off here! Also a relief to see those consumable blocks between the iron and the hull. Just remember to pack spares on board. :) That counter looks amazing!
Love to see a couple working together.
Ruth needs her own socket wrench set...
Ouch! Been there, done exactly that. I swore more than you did, Ruth ...... 🤪 ....... hope it’s healing ok. Stay safe guys, we need to see you sailing .... ⛵️🤞👍🏼
Dump that adjustable spanner overboard and you’ll have an instant excuse to invest in a decent socket set.
Again. Always a great way to start my day. A cup of Joe and Salt and Tar 😋.
There is just soo much work happening all at once with projects and completion getting closer so quickly, we will soon be watching a sailing blog. Stay Safe and keep up the great work
Ruth you are a star, great to see you rolling up your sleeves and wielding those tools, a bit of blood, sweat and tears build boats and lots of character :)
Lmao , Ruth thank you for leaving in "gotta pee" that so happens to all of us.

I think it is cute now that Ruth is getting more and more familiar with nautical term of shipbuilding

Not mistake, just fine Ruth. Your do
Ing a great job
After following y’all for all these years, I’m getting the sense that sailing will be coming soon! Getting close!
Chainplates standing out from the hull are gonna kick up a LOT of spray. That is gonna get real old real fast.
Not to worry Tim, that old style scow won't heel over that much... unless eveyone is sea sick leaning over on the same rail
Agreed. Why not just cut the bulwark for the shrouds to clear without the backing blocks?
One of my favorite sailing channels.😊💕 Hope your head feels better!😉
No shut up, THAT was cuteness overload! 🤣👍
Anybody that never makes a mistake, probably isn't doing a helluva lot of the work!....I have my share of battle scars.
Great episode, you two make great content a little fun with a little work with friends....thats livin!!
Ruth, you are one tough young lady. Smack your head (and it hurts) but keep on task even as the blood flows. You are amazing.
No! It ends to fast :) Now I have to wait another week 😭 Love your videos and it made my Birthday even better 😃
Ahh so cute! The Captain also tends to the first mates boo boo's. Also all squiggly doos.

The grout will never stop cracking and falling out.
Depends on what type of grout they use. Theirs a product that comes in a caulking tube thats basically just caulk with sand in it ment for expansion joints. Its exspensive but two tubes would probably be enough for their small counter.
10:30 why were you using an adjustable wrench for those nuts? socket set not onboard?
Swab is not slacking off on his supervision duties.
Silvasorb should be good it's £28 ($38) for a 1.5oz tube here in the UK! Get well soon Ruth.
I like the wall around your boat. In general, I like the boat which is beautiful.
You guys are having too much fun.
hi the boat is looking very good guys

@11:40 I always say, if you're not bleeding, you're not sailing.

Hopefully 2021 will see you finished and sailing, cheers from Oz.
Love the counter top Ruth top job team....
Start looking for a trim-tab self steering vane!
With all the work happening on the boat, it is hard to know where to point the camera. Love the egret.
The man on the flying trapeze...opening scene.
No rookie mistake, just a battle scar...
Yeah, she'll be able to show her grandkids and tell a great story some day.
In Aussie we have the same "Shifters" and "Ringies" but I've often noticed you Yanks use the
Shifters a lot more than we do. Mostly we use Shifters when nothing else is handy and never used on anything important....which means for sure...RUTHIE!
you guys also use that antiquated "metric system" not sure what is going on there........ come over to imperial its so much better
@@patrickwentz8413 One day the USA will catch up to the real world and go metric. Many US manufacturers now make metric stuff. Non of the aero or auto manufactures use Imperial bolts these days. regards
@@patrickwentz8413 you obviously don't use tools often. Yanks are stuck using both.
@@garyc5483 we use both. In school, both fractions and the metric system are taught.
love it!!!
Nice, fruits of your labor! Closer and Closer. You can't hurt that head! Sorry (that's what my dad always said) lol!
best vid in a while...
Have a back up tiller maybe metal as a backup. Had them snap like a twig in harsh weather.
They need a sub to machine a massive 1:1 metal tiller
I most always leave my blood mark on any project I work on, not intentionally I better add, just showing my ability to bless the project. Looking good guys, bleed less and prosper !!
Omg poor Ruth!! Hope you’re ok
The Silversword was the mascot at my sons college in Hawaii.
I love the videos, thank you. I’m curious though. How much stuff have you lost in the water? Like tools and such? I feel like I would have already dropped half of my tools. Lol.
Coming together nicely....
wow you are making good progress. great job👍.
First 😃
😓 Ouch!
The view on the deck is priceless...and we know who she is....😁
We used the same eyelets with Dynema and lashings on our Colvin Gazelle. Seems to work well.
@1:28 is that SV Basik right behind the mast?
wrench to hold, socket to turn the bolts and nuts...
Ur in the self inflicted head scar club now Heheheheh I’m in it too mechanic status
Looking good .
The boat looks great great did that wrench knock some sense in you

Squiggelydo = AN OUTSIDE COVE !
you're getting there! sailing this summer!?
“Squiggles do”, is this a new nautical term.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
your so funny guys..greetz from sweden, #inthewild :)
Nice video
lovin the ratlines...lookin real pirate like.....but then spotted the empty "pale ale" bottles. Come on lift your game..time to change to a more pirate like beer
You're putting too much blood, sweat, and tears into this project.
And Garrett says "NEVER ENOUGH!"
be carefull!
I need to send you a wrench set Ruth. Adjustable wrenches aren’t for a professional like yourself. 😂 Hope your headache went away. I’m so excited about the “rat lines” (sp).
when are you going to have those chain plates powder coated?
How come you haven't made stairs for the cabin yet? I'd think that would be a top priority. You have probably answered this questions a thousand times by now.
You guys need to buy a socket set
Still curious what that building is at the end of the dock that has a mast coming out of the roof? Love you guys!
My guess is some sort of dinghy group that hoists flags for signals (like starting races) - or maybe it's the marina office and they want some height for a VHF antenna?
Ouch!
