As always your videos are packed with practical lessons on boat building. It occurred to me that the totality of your videos together constitute what could easily be called a masters degree in traditional boat building with a dash of modern tech where it makes sense. The effort that that goes into the planning process is blended with examples of good workmanship. I look forward to seeing your progress toward completion with each new video.
I came to this channel for the boat building and I stayed for the inspiration. This project is one of a few things that I really look forward to each week. You're doing a great job.
Hello. A piece of fun work behind you. In Poland, boatbuilders use a tea spoon to compensate for the deck weight. The joint is then even and the same along its entire length, and the scoop cuts the filling flush with the edge of the strip. I keep my fingers crossed, a great job.
Every woodworker loves the feeling of splitting a line 😊 especially if you have been fretting over how to do it the best way, The "I'm that good, o'yeah" feeling
Mizzen looking beautiful with first coat of soup. Cabin top looking great with tape removed also. RedAviva is cominh along. Hurts a bit to hear Garrett saying good enough so much lately. He is surely to a point where getting under way is more important than insuring quality, by the sound of his comments. Although, his "good enough" is a far site better than a lot of folk's best efforts, so I'm sure it will last just fine. Definitely sounds as if he could use some more sea time and less saw dust time. Keep the faith, guys. You're getting there.
Every Thursday morning is a pleasure as it comes with a new post from you two. Great episode. By now I fully believe that there is nothing you guys can't do.
From the point of view of having got my hands dirty all my working life, (I was never an office worker). I really enjoy your channel. But I have to admit, out of all the channels I watch, your video editing and composition comes out top of the heap. Keep up the good work
I love and respect your passion and hard work that it takes to make your dreams come true and your willingness to allow us to follow along. I have followed other boat builders but at some point they have all fallon by the wayside. Leaving only the two of you as inspiration to design and build my own dream boat one day. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for taking us along!
I just found out that you can help your favorite You Tubers by watching the commercials. Only takes a bit of time and helps the publisher with their income. Does not cost you a cent. These folks are amazing!
Hurray it's Thursday. Finally, another episode. I have no idea about sailing or woodwork, but I've been following your project for a long time. Keep up the great work!
Garrett, buy a wax ring from the hardware store and dip your screws thoroughly into the wax so they have a good coat on them. They will go in much easier, and the wax seals the screw in place.
The deck, cabin top and hatch cover look amazing you two. Can't wait to see what it looks like after a coat of soup. Great work on the mizzen Garret and great editing Ruth. Thank you for another wonderful video. Take care, stay well.
@@magaisacult2023 Of coarse & that is why I call her Struth. Because of what I see her doing. Talk about a super supportive lady. (I wish). And on top of her support she does all the editing from what I make out. Yes Ruth you are a legend to.
What a great episode! I loved Garret's comment "I just want to get sailing!". So much accomplished in this episode, can't wait to see her sailing! Great job guys!
Every job finished, every days work completed brings you that much closer to sailing, can't wait its been such a long journey and I have enjoyed every step of the way. Keep up the great work.
Awesome video of accomplishment. Garret, I was giving you grief a few weeks ago about your perfectionism. Glad to see that you can switch it off (sometimes) and just get stuff done. I meant that as a total compliment. Love you guys.
Mark Bernier - Saw him using screws & thought , 'Wait . . . didn't they used to use dowels ?' So, I scroll down through comments looking for one to verify my suspicion . . . . & found yours: trunnel = treenail ! ! several spellings available . . . & is a wooden peg, pin or dowel used in fastening two pieces of wood together. I built a picnic table and benches a few (like a lot of) years ago using dowels / no metal at all & it was firm and strong !
If you like older / classic music ( jazz - rock ) you may like a Norwegian gal with an old soul who can sing ! Angelina Jordan won 'Norway's Got Talent' at 8 years old in 2014. Well, she's 'old' now at 14, & has kicked out over 100 videos on TH-cam. One of my favorites : th-cam.com/video/RjQZKBpVaes/w-d-xo.html -- 6 or 7 years old in one man studio next to her elementary school .
have followed you for a few years now and it is indeed a great journey. Went back the other day and had a look at the first video where you say that this is envisaged to be a 1.5-2 year project ;-) how time flies.... but it is all about the journey!!! Well done and keep up the great work! best wishes from Europe! John
I been watching ever since you where building the boat somewhere that I've forgotten and had the boat moved somewhere.. That might of been years ago. You two make a cute couple.
Straight line on something round. Measure 3 or 4 marks where they belong. Cut a straight inch wide piece of cardboard from a cereal box, wrap the cardboard around at the marks. If the strip of cardboard is not long enough tape several together.
Hey guys how's it going looks like it's going great is Elliot from Tacoma once again sitting on my porch I just got back from my boat I've been redoing my boat for the last 3 years Saturday will be the first time I take it out and actually put the sales up looking at your video loving it inspirational love you guys God bless
I was lconfused as in french "mat de misaine" which sounds like "mizzen" is the foremast, so when I heard about the mizzen mast I was surprised it was situated aft. So I realized tha mizzen mast it was what we call in french "mat d'artimon". So strange 😅. Nice video as usual. Keep the good work.
If I win the lottery, one of my things will be to pay for you to hire the help you want to finish your boat. Materials too. You are an awesome young couple and I want to watch you sail the world and raise a family in my old age.
It might not be the right timing but it would be fun if you could rig the main gaff to raise the mizzen mast! Cheers Warren....oh but not if it slows you down from getting mast up!
Hehehe, how many of you heard "that's what she said" after Garrett said.."ummm, I need about 9 inches". Lol or am I just super tired? Love the videos. I wish I had the space to start building a hull of my own. Until then...hold fast!
Is it rude of me asking if you plan to go first to a particular place? Tell me to POQ if it is. It's just that you have reached the stage in the build that it seems to be time to start getting my maps out. My experience doing that has always made my belly shiver in anticipation. It's a wonderful feeling.
Please take off the sharp edges under the brass ring till the thickness off that ring than you have not so very much Problems with water to get into the mast. 👍👍
@@dcrahn yeah remember a incident with fatalities on a Dutch sailing vessel where the Mast top was Rotten behind the Metal Fitting and the whole topsection and the Rigging came crashing down killing atleast 2 i think.
At one point I realised I was sitting here watching G wearing his S&T vest and I was wearing mine...Oh the horror; "they'll think I'm a stalker"! Love American cotton, tho', it's my fave shirt. But I'm not a stalker, honest...
Nice looking boat, things are moving along well . I have been rebuilding our boat for a few years, it takes awhile balancing that between a full time job and other responsibilities. I have been watching your videos over the years, you seem to gave a lot of time on your hands to build your boat. Just currios , what do you do for a living ? How do you make a living ? Pay taxes , insurance, groceries, materials and tools for the boat.The basic things of life and still have as much time as you do to work on your boat. I need to know the secret ?Take care.
What was the music playing when he was putting the cheeks on... the piano blues vibe was excellent! I must have that!,, thanks, love the videos as usual. Can’t wait to see it all in action
Really enjoy watching you guys going through the various difficulties of your build. Learning a lot about boat building. Just curious: since Ruth is the "eye candy", why are all the coverage of her so blinking fast? (Just kidding) God bless you all (y'all)!!
"Wow, it wasn't your pants?" - now THAT was funny! I was just asking myself, or him, "Where is that shop rag?!?" "Skill saw?" That is a BRAND NAME - are you REALLY using a "Skill" Saw? Or maybe a Circular Saw? Sorry, raised by two English Majors.
Love following. In the intro says u been at this for 5 years. I know nothing about boat building but whys take so long? Whats the biggest hold up? I would think its money? But not sure just wondering 5 plus years is big commitment.
Mrs Ruth / Swab was missing from the entire video ? ( except the 2 second flash at the out takes ) I hope he is okay ?? and it will be great to see the Mizzen up eventually -- slow progress is better than no progress ;-)
@@SaltandTar Glad to hear he's well ! ;-) and I feel so privileged to get a reply from you as it seems you 2 rarely reply to comments on the channel ! / thank you so much :-) / hugs from Canada ;-)
@@SaltandTar / Well, you've surprised me a 2nd time !!! thank you ;-) / I guess you're prepping the next episode ? and I'm already looking forward to watching it in the morning with my 1st coffee of the day , it's 11:20 pm eastern time in Montreal and I've got to turn in very soon , but please give Mr Swab 50 pattings and a nice long tummy rub from me ! ;-) see you all soon , Zzzzzzzz
Can't wait to see the Mizen join the Main Mast! What a pair!!!!!!

You are a great story teller Ruth. Thanks for all your hard work. The boat looks tremendous!
Thank you!

Your videos of this whole process and the both of you are such an inspiration. Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing it with us!
What a nice eclectic variety of episode music tou choose. Nice.
Definitely get the mast up and go sailing!
Every woodworker loves the feeling of splitting a line 😊 especially if you have been fretting over how to do it the best way, The "I'm that good, o'yeah" feeling
Thanks guys. You make the hard jobs look easy, and the tedious jobs fun. Five years of boat construction shows❤️🙂
Coming together very nicely, bit by bit.
You guys are AWESOME and so fun to watch. I know NOTHING about boats or sailing but I’m mesmerized by your skills and determination...❤️

Love your hat!
Congratulations, the boat is looking good on you, the two of you make a good team!
Once in a blue moon I cut exactly on the line like that and much rejoicing is to be had!
Perfect! 👍🏻

Hi guys. New arrival. Know nothing about boats but love your vids.
Note to Ruth, taping isn't really a waist. Prepping is more than half the job.
Great work as always. Thanks. Ruth is a good soul.
So in love with this channel.
I been watching ever since you where building the boat somewhere that I've forgotten and had the boat moved somewhere.. That might of been years ago. You two make a cute couple.
Was impressed with the angled cut dead on the line ....the boats looking great

I look forward to Thursday every week - Thank you!

You guys are really making progress. Looking good !
I recommend chamfering the shoulder under the mizzen collar. It will help with drainage.
I was lconfused as in french "mat de misaine" which sounds like "mizzen" is the foremast, so when I heard about the mizzen mast I was surprised it was situated aft. So I realized tha mizzen mast it was what we call in french "mat d'artimon". So strange 😅. Nice video as usual. Keep the good work.
An old salt taught me to use 90% isopropyl alcohol to smooth silicone caulk. works like a charm. leaves a smooth bright shiny finish
Another great video, can't wait to see the mast up & you guys sailing!
Again fantabulous and great feelgood sound.....courage as we say in French.....be safe.
If I win the lottery, one of my things will be to pay for you to hire the help you want to finish your boat. Materials too. You are an awesome young couple and I want to watch you sail the world and raise a family in my old age.
That can of "Soup" looks older than both of you combined. Great work!
It might not be the right timing but it would be fun if you could rig the main gaff to raise the mizzen mast! Cheers Warren....oh but not if it slows you down from getting mast up!
Have you been spying on us!?!? Good thing your a Patron (should have a sneak peek soon)
If you take that sentence out of context. He got the hounds ready just in time for dinner... lol
Puppy tacos!
Hehehe, how many of you heard "that's what she said" after Garrett said.."ummm, I need about 9 inches". Lol or am I just super tired? Love the videos. I wish I had the space to start building a hull of my own. Until then...hold fast!
Love your passion and good work / Joergen
Nice Progress!!
Cheerz!!
hi boat is looking very cool .love it
Looking Better @ each video.
Is it rude of me asking if you plan to go first to a particular place?
Tell me to POQ if it is. It's just that you have reached the stage in the build that it seems to be time to start getting my maps out. My experience doing that has always made my belly shiver in anticipation. It's a wonderful feeling.
Haha agreed! South to Mexico first but as things are all shut down at the moment we're just excited for the California coast and channel islands
R
always a joy
Love the tune Night Drive, for a second I thought I was watching a 'Soup Classic Motoring' episode. Keep up the good work
Merci encore 👍
To be young and flexible again Hell id settle for tight skin !
Down, boy, down !! But agreed, and Ruthie here has the cutest belly botton of them all !
Tnx u guys. Luv your vlogs as usual (must think of something else to say xx
Please take off the sharp edges under the brass ring till the thickness off that ring than you have not so very much Problems with water to get into the mast. 👍👍
Definitely, needs to cut a chamfer below the collar so you don't have a shelf for water to sit on.
@@dcrahn yeah remember a incident with fatalities on a Dutch sailing vessel where the Mast top was Rotten behind the Metal Fitting and the whole topsection and the Rigging came crashing down killing atleast 2 i think.
Hardwood bits put under the metal

Darn I was hoping you were keeping the wood natural!
Great video as usual :)
Hard work max rewards
Ooh your so close to setting the sails and starting on your next journey, I bet your both starting to have problems with your sleeping pattern 😴.
Nice 3 minutes after being notified!

Black Spars on a wooden SV are 😎 cool
So Eventually the entire Mast and Mizzen will be Covered with Salt & Tar ??? 😂😂😂⏬💙🙏👍
What was the music playing when he was putting the cheeks on... the piano blues vibe was excellent! I must have that!,, thanks, love the videos as usual. Can’t wait to see it all in action
Nice video
Wow a video about Hounds and no cameo of Swab 😩, it nice to see the progress.😁🛫
Watch to the end...
First 2 minutes and it almost went from mizzen mast to missin mast
Really enjoy watching you guys going through the various difficulties of your build. Learning a lot about boat building. Just curious: since Ruth is the "eye candy", why are all the coverage of her so blinking fast? (Just kidding)
God bless you all (y'all)!!
I'm surprised your not using bronze screws because of the effects of seawater.
How about a video through the eyes of Swab?
I guess that thing have a soul
That’s what she said
It's interesting that you put subtitles for him, but not for yourself, when the wind blows. Lol.
won't be long!
Y’all got to hoist a Jolly Roger on your first run under the sheets.
time for a new intro.. boat looking great by the way. every week a little closer. really is something to be proud of .
I had a mast just like yours once but it went Mizzen.😣😑😮🤣
Nothing in the world worse than a Phillips screw
4th, another step closer.
"Wow, it wasn't your pants?" - now THAT was funny! I was just asking myself, or him, "Where is that shop rag?!?"
"Skill saw?" That is a BRAND NAME - are you REALLY using a "Skill" Saw? Or maybe a Circular Saw?
Sorry, raised by two English Majors.
Are those galvanized screws?
I can't believe Mr. OCD let some jobs slide. 😃.
no! no soup!
you need to clean that glue first !!!
come on clean that glue run out from the hounds
now I can't sleep
you didn't clean that glue !!!
You haven't been taking your tablets have you....it's showing.
This is wonderful and funny. But seriously, take a deep breath and count to 10....and then again. :-)
Anyone else reminded of "Friday Night Lights" (the TV show, not the movie) by the song that starts around 10 min?
How do you get to the top of a smooth wood mast? Will you install steps, or just hoist yourself with a winch and a pulley on top?
Csak így tovább from Ungár
🤘!!
Keep punchin'...
