- A lot happens in this episode. Cleats and stringers are installed. The last two longitudinal bulkheads go in. And I manage to put extra supports for the skeg inside the crash bulkhead compartments. It's approximately 1 year to the departure of Wave Rover's circumnavigation.

Thank you and fair winds
The fits of the longitudinal bulkheads was perfection Alan. The seam looked uniform the entire length including the sides and tops of the keel battens. Always a joy to watch your videos twice. Take care and have a good weekend.
Many thanks! And you have a good weekend too.
Awesome
Great
Nice work keep cracking on.
Thanks, will do!
Amazing
Super
Nice
It’s amazing to think how the attention to detail here will keep you safe on the oceans. As always, your videos are full of tricks and gems. Many thanks
Thank you very much Bernard! I always look forward to your very positive comments!
Good work Alan. It's nice to see all the steps necessary for the build. Your explanations are krystal clear. This will help all of those that have decided to endeavour such a project. Can't wait to have a look at it. 😎
Thanks 👍
Hello Allen and yay Wave Rover!
First comment on the video, thanks!
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
So satisfying to watch your project progress Alan. Great to learn things from you. Like yours...my spirit level also only tells the truth...
I don't think that modern tool makers are so confident in their product to emboss it on the tool, lol
Amazing progress! It's certainly coming together. Great work!!
Thanks a bunch!

Hi Alan,
Looking good. Great to watch your progress, but could you dump the fish eye lens, the regular lens shows a true perspective.
Really looking forward to more progress, she’s gonna be a fine ship.
I think that the gopro does that when trying to get a wide angle. I'll see what I can do.
@@RoversAdventure great. I am sure the fish eye lens has its place in this world, but it does make it difficult to see what is really happening. Other than that keep em coming. Great work
Good
Looking good, thanks for the great tips along the way
Looking forward to seeing some pictures from your project Allan
No pressure haha, still away off...
Looking good!
Thank you! Cheers!
So your level is… on the level. A straight shooter one might say…
Ok, I’ll stop there.
Nice work as always Alan.
I’m working with pvc as you know. I almost always use a panel saw to cut the pvc/epoxy/fibreglass sandwich as apposed to a jigsaw. The panel saw cuts nice straight lines without trying ( unlike the jigsaw that wanders ) and it’s way faster.
Thanks Robin, I would imagine you are enjoying some perfect temperatures for your epoxy work.
I've had that level for years. Levels today (generally of poorer quality) are afraid to make such a bold statement.
@@RoversAdventure Pluses and minuses really. The slower cure times can be both a help and a hindrance. I really have to wait two days now before the epoxy really sets hard enough to sand, but it’s nice not to have to rush to get it out of the pot before it cooks off. But I shouldn’t complain. At least I’m not dealing with freezing temperatures and the problems that come with that. Cheers
It’s so fun to watch it come together. Here’s a question that I struggle with: when is one supposed to use titebond vs thickened epoxy?
Two flat surfaces that will be inside and away from anywhere that is likely to be immersed would be a good use for titebond. Thickened epoxy is great everywhere especially when gap filling is needed, but it is messy and more expensive.
Thats a masons level.
Did you saturate the bottom edge of the longitudinal with thin epoxy?
There was no titebond on the fronts of the ringframes, only along the top, glueing the ringframes to the longitudinal would have made a way stronger structure, ??? Creating a unified bonded structure of ring frame to longitudinal, and then of course the fillet to the hull which you will do
In an up coming video you will see how I deal with that joint and it will be strong and water tight.
Personally I would have glued the longitudinal to the ring frame fronts and then put fillets and cloth inside
@@setkacagarro-blogspot-com the fillets and cloth are coming. The challenge with epoxy is to complete what can be done in one step by one person. That's why I often break things down to multiple steps.
There's no D in longitudinal Alan.
Already got the message thanks.
Inspirational, but I do wish you would wear knee pads.
I have a great pair of knee pads but they are packed away with our household goods. Once the house is built and our belonging unpacked I will get them. Hopefully that happens in the next few months.
