Just the fact that you're repairing a beautiful boat and restoring it is fantastic. Most people would just scap it and buy something else. My hats off to you!
Yea it sucks that it sunk it was in such good shape.
The saviour from our history of craftsmanship
I do my best :).
Been watching since the 1st episode dropped. I watch a lot of boating reno channels, but the ones I stick with are those that are detailed, well narrated and have a clear mission. Aurora Restoration checks all the boxes…and then some. Continued good luck with the project.
Thanks for the kind words. Glad to have you aboard on this channel. We’re gonna get a little more frequent in releasing new videos. My editing skills are getting a little more streamline so more content will get out now for sure.
The thing I like the most about watching this project is I love old boats and would hate to hear the Aurora would be lost. Also it is very relaxing to watch and listen to Chris talk. Chris reminds me a little of Marty Stouffer on Wild America!
Keep up the good work !
Marty Stouffer, Thanks. I never really thought of myself as being any good at narration but it seems to slowly be coming to me. Glad your enjoying the project. We will be digging into more crazy project in the coming weeks. You definitely will enjoy some of what’s coming :)
What I love most about this channel is to watch old rusty areas turn into beautiful new areas. I use to restore old homes many years ago so I can relate to this project and all your hard work.
Don't need a t-shirt but what I do love about this channel beyond the big steel boat repairs and fabrication is that you and the crew actually read and reply to comments, great work to you and your team.
We try but definitely get lots of comments and it’s difficult sometimes to keep up. Wish we had more time for those who are truly interested in what we’re doing. Thanks for watching.
I love the history of it all. An old thing coming back to life.
There is actually a great story behind all of this that I plan on sharing sooner or later.
What I like most is the sympathetic restoration, reusing original materials. It can only be original once.
Thanks, Kind of feels right to use original metal from the ship to make the repairs.
Love all the progress - for me the restoration of those Maybach engines will be the real treat. Your crew and yourself have some amazing talent.
Thanks, Those engines are definitely a project we will dive into soon. I feel the same way. Let’s get one fired up :)
I love classic cars and motorcycles so classic ships are even more cool!
I have had my share of classic cars and have to say that I enjoyed working on them as well but the ship is certainly a different level.
What do I like the most about this channel? Its proof dreams come true if you work hard enough.
Thank you, still working hard on that dream to come true but hard word does pay off :)
What I love most about this channel is the realistic presentation of a project like this. It isn't glamorous-you just have to grind it out (often with an angle grinder), and it takes time-although I'm sure the end result will be!
I love seeing passionate people with no previous experience in what they are currently doing, doing a job well! The Aurora Project has many such people, doing things that they might never have even tried before, doing them with pride, passion and belief in the work they are doing.
What I like most about this project is how you pay attention to all the details. I am looking forward to seeing plenty of videos regarding everything with electricity and electronics as that's what I spend my time with.
I am an amateur restorer myself, mostly furniture and automotive, so I really enjoy that aspect. I have been in tactical military aircraft maintenance my whole career, as a hobby I enjoy learning about the nautical world. It is quite different from where I spend my days and this helps me to escape and relax. This makes these videos doubly enjoyable.
I love watching the progress, from abandoned and rotting to bright, shiny and functional. Can't wait to see her completed!
You and me both!
It might be too simple, however what I like most is "All of It!".
Me too…
I love ocean liners and passenger ships, as well as working vessels.
I love how you're not just keeping a piece of increasingly rare maritime history alive, but that you're doing nearly singlehandedly, without a lot of corporate interference. Just you and your friends and admirers.
And you're taking us along, step-by-step, in detail.
It must be incredilby peaceful to be on an ocean liner/criuise ship that is moored alongside a beautiful California farming landscape.
I find your work and videos incredibly calming and inspiring.
If you decide to send me a T-shirt, I'll proudly wear it everywhere!
I look forward to the next chapter!
I love how everyone involved with this project is only too happy to share their knowledge with those of us watching. I feel every time I watch one of these videos, I'm a little smarter than when I began the video. Thank you for that.
What i love the most about this Channel is that you can see that everything is possible 👍🏻
My favorite part is the restoration of a tired old beauty into its former glory…and the crew!! The crew are a great group of people!! 😊
Several reasons come to mind regarding why I love the Aurora Project. The ship was built the dame year I was born. I also have German heritage. The camaraderie you share with your deck hands. Mostly I appreciate your desire to preserve history! I hope one day to set foot on the deck and perhaps even sail the high seas! Thanks for sharing your project with us via TH-cam!!!
Thanks for watching. Great to have some positive people like yourself fallowing this great ship. By the way. While ahi ship served in Greece, her smoke stack logo was an iron cross. She was called the Delos.
Man I love old ships and fabrication is a hobby of mine so this Chanel is a Double threat!!!
Hope you enjoy some of the crazy projects we’re gonna dive into in the near future..
My Daughters name is Aurora and you show us how anything is possible. Just have to be willing and get after it.
Your Daughter has a great name. The name has been the luckiest name to date for this ship so may it be the same for your daughter.
The undertaking of the amount of work is insperational and as a viewer learn something new every time new content is shown💯
Glad to inspire. It’s been a pleasure to work on this ship and show the world through TH-cam what we have accomplished.
The ship restoration is great to watch, but watching the fun you and your team has really keeps me coming back. Great crew and great project. Thanks.
We definitely have fun and really enjoy making the old new once again. Thanks for watching.
I love watching dirty, rotting old stuff being made clean and functional again. Especially since it's happening on a ship that is truly one of a kind. Thanks for bringing a piece of history back to life!!
Thanks for the kind words. Sounds like we are much alike in the bringing old stuff back to life..
I love the fact that you are restoring a piece of history
Thank you, That’s also my thought.
It's inspiring , It is all about priority's and focus not to think restoring a whole ship but to take it one job at a time. Nothing is impossible if you take it in one task at a time. it may take a while but it will get done sooner or later. Aurora.
Exactly how you eat an elephant. Me bite at a time. She will get finished if we keep up the pace and don’t allow opportunities to pass. Thanks for watching.
As a hobbyist fabricator I love the fabrication videos. Wish she was closer to me as I’d love to come help bring her back to life.
Definitely the more people with the ability to fabricate the better. Thanks for watching..
Like how a group people have come together and work their ASS off on a ship doomed for the scrapyard to preserve what it stood for in its Day.
Thank for the kind words and seeing this project for what we have accomplished. She definitely has a future now.
@@AuroraRestorationProject
I cannot wait to see her all done with the Vision your team has for Her. God Bless and wish you all the Best to come.
I love the crew and watching this old ship coming back to life! All The hard work to save it.
Well said!
Classic Restoration, thatch what I love.
Thank you..
While I enjoy/like the detail and fast video on cutting, cleaning welding, I particularly love the priming and painting with the crew! Thx
Definitely more to come. Every video will be a bit different but all will show progress.
I also like the nice verbal description you/crew provide before getting things going!
The thing I like about this is that most people would turn a blind eye to the boat but you can see there is still lots of life left in it and it just needs some love
Chris , everyone has done an outstanding job!! The Ship is looking GREAT!! Goes to show you can put lipstick on a Show Pig! I wish all those with a not so kind comment on the crew would keep there opinon too themselves. These guys put there heart into this project.
It seems that the people who leave rude comments are generally uneducated on what we are trying to do. They might have their reasons but I can’t think of a single good reason not to give this ship hope.
@@AuroraRestorationProject From me to the Cew " Don't let rude people rent space in YOUR head" You all are doing Great Work!!
Like most, I enjoy watching you restore a piece of history. I do a lot of cruising and it would be fun to wear your shirt on-board. I think it would spark a lot of conversations. I find it amazing that someone sees something like this ship and says I can make a difference. I learn a lot watching your videos.
I enjoy your pride of craftsmanship. Each of the "regulars" on your videos shares that work ethic, and it is great to see.
I love how this channel breaks down a complicated restoration into simple bits, I also love the diy ness yet still making it the best as possible. Also this ship is awesome and I want to see it sail again!
Repairing and breathing new life into something that was just scrap to someone else. Keep it up!
Keep watching. She will just get more and more beautiful a bit at a time.
What I like about this channel is the project you got into and how you are making progress on restoring this beautiful ship. Way cooler than any super yacht you could find, its a ship with a strong personality. Keep up the excellent work! 👌
I love that you are saving history! This is not a profit driven venture, you have fallen for the Aurora and have helped all of us to love her too! I live in Springfield Oregon, I am an Electrician, If it were up to me, I would hall my trailer down for vacation just to get the chance to help save the old girl, my family dose not share my love for history… Thanks for sharing your world with us! Hope to get there some day soon!
What do I love the most? I’m a real sucker for therapeutic time lapse tool videos. I always have been. I just gobble these up!!😊
Timelapse is kind of a must n some of these projects. I figure out that if I filmed the entire thing in real-time the video would be several hours long and much more boring.
Love the restoration of a magnificent ship!
Thanks for watching Gary.
What I love about this project? Well, about all’osteria everything! With all your dedicated work you are preserving heritage. Seeing you at work, brings me back to the days of black and white movies , ladies in evening dresses, man in tuxedo’s and evening sunsets……
As the (femele😊)owner of an historic tugboat here in The Netherlands I do know very well how much work and dedication it takes to keep it afloat. With or without a T-shirt: I am cheering you on all the way from the other side of the ocean!! Lots of greetings and blessings! Chantal
I like the way you as a group get along with one goal "Fix The Boat"
If I were a young man again I would be a volunteer looking to sea duty as a final reward for all the hard work.
I have been following you from Sydney Australia, you and your team of supporters are doing and absolutely amazing restoration job on this beautiful ship, l love the way you take the time to explain everything that you do. Keep up the fabulous work and thanks for keeping us all updated. Cheers from the Land Down Under 🇦🇺
Thanks, Great to see a few Australians fallowing. I intend to make it out that way to help a friend with his ship project in Sydney one of these days.
What i love most about this Channel is the Fact, that you give away free T-Shirts, even tho i would pay for it!
Jokes aside.
The Dedication of the Team towards this Beautiful Ship is very Wholesome to Watch. I Love the Combination of Large Projects and the Lessons in Metal Warking and Maritime History.
Greetings from Austria!
I appreciate your dedication to this ship and her next life. And I like watching others work hard and get stuff done. These are why I watch this channel.
So nice that you are saving a piece of maritime history! Priceless! Hope everything goes well! Greetings from Finland!
Thank you very much!
I have to say I admire your efforts to save this historic ship, being the first ship allowed to be built by Blohm+Voss post war. She comes from a great pedigree of famous (or some would say infamous) ships such as Wilhelm Gustloff and Bismark. Well done sir! I look forward to more episodes of this thrilling project.
I love that you are re using so much of the old materials
The old materials are by far the best to use if they can be saved.
The old materials are by far the best to use if they can be saved.
I love how refreshing it is to watch, always something new so it never gets boring unlike the multitude of sailing channels. They say life is an adventure, I get mine by watching you bring Aurora back to life, Who knows maybe one day I may get to see her in real life if you ever sail her to Australia.
Wouldn’t that be an adventure to get the Aurora to Australia :). Thanks for the kind words..
@@AuroraRestorationProject No probs, I genuinely hope she makes it one day. Thanks for sharing Aurora's journey with us all.
I love big boats and I cannot lie.
I can think how the rest of that tune could go. Ha..
the thing that i love about this project is that you don't need a shipyard to restore a ship, you just need a plasmacutter, welder, grinder and a lot of people!
So many awesome vessels have been lost due to age and a lack of money and care, most recently the retired Coast Guard ship the Alert and the 65 footer box boat that were privately owned as well as sea scout ships so I love your channel for saving this classic ship.
Thanks Bill for the kind words, some ships, it’s just their time. Neglect is a bad thing for boats and ships. But if man can build it then certainly man can restore it. Thanks for watching.
definitely enjoy the whole process of turning what once was, back into what will be.
Thanks, We enjoy showing people what we’re doing on this old ship. It’s been a pleasure.
What I really love the most about this project is the restoration, and giving life, to a beautiful piece of history.
Your dedication, love and passion for this old Lady.
I love making the old work again and see it how it once looked.
She is definitely a great candidate for that.
What can I say. A bunch of lunatics have taken on a possibly impossible project and are making remarkable progress. You're my kind of people!
Absolutely, Sometimes a little crazy means more work. Thanks for watching.
like the idea of people giving their time for your cause. It's great example of human support. Cheers
The people are what make this channel entertainment to watch and follow
Before this channel I never thought of myself as an entertainer. Just a guy working on his ship. Glad I started this channel.
why this channel is great..........you are saving history
love the historie of the aurora.
The history was certainly me of the key reasons I decided to save this ship.
As a cruise enthusiast, I find the channel enjoyable because you are bringing back to life, a vessel that gave enjoyment to thousands over it's lifetime! I have been watching since the first episode and am amazed to see this old girl slowly coming back to life. The skill and drive the whole team brings is just what she needs to hopefully make her sea worthy! I wish I could sail on her when you guys (and girl) complete the Aurora!! And to imagine, this all began with a notion from Craigslist!!
Like the dedication to bringing the old girl back to life.
Thank you, It’s really been a pleasure and an adventure.
What is so inspiring about this project is that it is like a David verses Goliath ! You all being the David’s with an attitude of victory not defeat . Most restorations would be brought to a large facility with perhaps dozens of laborers bringing about restoration and you all do it with people that have heart .
This ol girl will have a lot left to give …soon !
I like to see old stuff, that most people would likely throw away, being restored and this project is that on the next level. This project is a piece of history. I love to see your creative ways of repairing and restoring. Keep up the great work. It's looking awesome.
I love this channel because you are taking a seemingly done for ship and reworking it piece by piece. I enjoy the welding, cutting, fabricating and restoration work.
Wouldn’t trade the experience for anything in the world. It’s been an honor to work aboard this ship.
I love the creative recycling of history
Thanks, exactly why I jumped in. She’s a perfect candidate.
Hi I just think it’s fantastic that you are restoring a ship that has a lot of history otherwise it just go to the scrapyard or sit there and rest away I Really love and appreciate you guys for what you are doing love your videos Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia from the big island❤❤❤❤
Well thank you so much for the kind words. I feel the same way..
I love the most the vision to make the Aurora Alive again and all the amazing craftmanship of the crew
Chapeau for all of you
Regards ric
Bases in south of france
I love that you are saving a part of our history!!. Without your efforts, it could have been lost.
She would have been scrapped or sank a long time ago had I not found her. I guess both myself and this ship were lucky that day.
I really enjoy the way that you guys cut up together and still take the time to explain what y'all are doing step by step. .. Y'all make us feel like we are being included in your amazing journey.... I can't wait for the next episode.....
Like seeing old rescues come back to life as it's show the love and sweat put into it,great drainage to keep standing water out the ship and decks
My size is xxl for teashirt
I like seeing this ship saved!
Thanks. She’s certainly deserving of a future.
I love watching every episode's progress in bringing her closer to her new maiden voyage. Please keep up all the great progress, looking forward to every new job you share with us. Thank you.
tenacity + passion = AURORA
What I love about this channel and the restoration is that a classic ship is being lovingly saved and I get to see my old friend, the Delta, once again. I can still remember driving from "The Pocket" to Rio Vista after work some days and going through all of the little towns along the way. I'm impressed with how much you've been able to "recycle" to keep costs down and preserving as much of Aurora's bones as you can. If I win a t-shirt, I will wear it whenever a new video comes out. Calm seas and clear skies...
Thanks for the kind words. The Aurora was actually in Rio Vista for a short time. Was a beautiful area and a great little city.
I try my best not to dispose of usable parts and pieces from the ship. Makes more sense to use the original than to buy new cheap Chinese materials. Send us a PM with your address and we will send you a shirt. Include your size..
I love seeing a group of like minded individuals working hard towards a common goal even if that goal post keeps moving. Big adventure!!! Enjoy it :-)
I love the fact that you have my dream job.
It is certainly a great project and I love watching her come back together a small piece at a time.
What an absolutely beautiful next morning, good luck with more repairs 😍😍👍👍
What I like in this channel is that no matter the hard or big is the project , you always deliver a great finish.
As the son of a merchant sailor the best thing about your project is the second life you are giving the old lady, insted of her ending up on some filthy beach in India being broken down, keep up the great work, cheers from Australia
I love the fact that what your restoring has class. Things built today lacks class and detail. Saving the past is bringing history to life.
Couldn’t agree more…
I love seeing this ship be transformed from something that looked like it was ready for the scrap yard into a beautiful ship again.
What I love about your channel ? .... your persistent use of your skills in saving that beautiful boat . The art form that of the way you perform those task . Devotion to her. Yea ,yea I hear the nay sayers ,but I would guarantee any one of the fine ladies watching this ,understand what I am texting you. We are missing in our young men that level of respect ,and passion of persistent care , of doing a task to the end ,without compromise or quitting cause it is hard . So I salute u sir , and press forward with her bow into the wind . From a retired military gentleman.
Thank you for the kind words Chuck. It has definitely been a challenge but messages like yours help keep up the morale.
I love the whole DIY vibe of the channel. I am also a DIY type person and bring things back to life on a much smaller scale. I am close enough to even help out on the Aurora and I actually plan to offer labor in the future when I can build up vacation time.
I like it when you host and narrate. Great job!
Watching you take a piece of history and are making it live again. The care and detail will make a fine ship once again. True love is wha5 will make her float. Great job.
Thanks Rick for the kind words. We do our best to pay attention to the details and to do each project the right way. We do put a lot of love into this ship. Thanks for watching..
The whole project is obviously huge. I like how you break each problem into smaller ones and don't think of the project as a whole as that would drive you crazy. I try and take that mind set into life. There is a lot to be leant from this.
I like that it's a very small group of people working on a hopelessly large project, and they don't complain, just keep plugging away at it.
The group will grow over the coming months but slowly. We will do our best to find the right people for this project. People that have the same passion for saving a part of history.
Love the explanations behind the restorations. Not many people give the “why” when doing projects.
We like seeing all the rust being removed and the ship becoming like new
My favorite parts as well.
I love the inspiration of freedom. Watching all this hard work for it to one day set sail again as your own ship is something to be a part of!
I love the fact that you’re taking this massive project to restore this beautiful ship.
I just enjoy watching you lovingly restore this beautiful ship. It's definitely a labour of love.
Well thank you, I’m starting to get better at making the videos. It’s actually more difficult than it looks to translate what you work on to film and make people see it how it actual is. Keep watching, It gets better.
I love your originality. Everyone has their own personality and what they are good at. I like how its just normal joes doing something huge. Makes me feel like I could take on an enormous task with my friends!! Keep the vids coming. Truly love the channel and each new video.
Thanks, I’m glad to say that the more we learn about video editing the better the content will become and personalities will shine bright. I appreciate the kind words.
I love the historie of the aurora.
She certainly has a lot of history behind her.
