Grinder and flap discs! Multiple grits, faster and easier to get into tricky places. Go easy you’ll be surprised if the speed difference. Hope that helps and good luck, look forward to the next one!
Darn fine Spider chase very interesting. Just took out one webbing me car big Sucker. 😮 The rot not unexpected as left open to the elemental at last ply took mist of it. 😮 The seat framing was gon a be toast as water settles there where as they drained of the slats. 😅 Now left it dry out for a bit. Back To standing the hull. 😮 Keepa at it chap.😅
I'm enjoying the videos of you mammoth task in restoring the boat. You mentioned that you had not drawn a plan of the boat so that you could relocate and use the good sections of timber again, take a photograph of the area then print it off and add your reference numbers on the photo for use later.
Making good progress hull looks pretty decent under the paint. The plywood cockpit floor wasn't very well waterproofed it was always gona rot like that! Keep up the hard work i'm gona enjoy watching this rebuild
Did you consider powder blasting the hull to remove the paint? There are now softer types of blasting media available that are less harsh on the wood. Anyway, thanks for these videos.
Review your video should help with putting together the plan of where things came from. Its The False Widow spiders I'd be worried about, shiny and black. Soldier on, good things dont come easy,
I'm sitting here watching you. Stripping out the Cockpit on your lVideo that I have caught up with can I give you some advice? Please when you're pulling panels off. I noticed that you commented about doing a draw plan of what you've got Pre number. Everything in sittu then take photograph loads and loads of photographs.
1 More thing as well, something that I was taught at college as I've done Boat building at Lowestoft College myself is if you have large cracks in planks but the planks are solid instead of filling them with poxy filler, which does not shrink by the way, when. It gets wet and will cause more damage depending how much you use and how big the cracks may be, what would work for you better is to cut some wood of similar style into wedges and glue both sides of the wedge and gently tap that In To the crack and then chisel and sand it back. This way, when the wood gets wet, it can move and shrink and expand without too many problems. This is just a thought. Obviously, you do whatever suits your needs but me. Personally, I would not put apoxy filler in unless it was absolutely necessary. Of course, we have our own ways in doing things, so please don't take my advice as gospel. You do exactly what works for you and your pocket. Good luck with it. I love the boat and if you ever at Lowestoft. Pop into the lower stuff boat museum. They actually have an original lifeboat cabin that would have been sitting on your boat in their museum. I believe good luck fella. I live in Suffolk if you need any help with metal work or cutting wood with saws. I am more than happy to lend a hand
@covidflight2 Sowdust and glue. It's great if you're building a coffee table. All you're trying to fix something under a cupboard. You have to remember this boat is gonna be submerged in water. You are now entering the realms of woodwork. That would make you more qualified than a cabinet Maker is what I was told when I was in college. They're 4 I would use something more substantial. I mean, yeah, it would work as long as you're glue can move with the wood. Apoxy does not do that, PVA glue just isn't waterproof enough. However have a look in chandler's yards for polyurethane base glue. That does stretch with the wood and is brilliant when the wood is damp. In fact, it works better on wet wood than it does Dry wood read up On it wear gloves as it.will stick to your hands, you will have it there for a few days. I myself I would still do wedges. Those cracks are very small, so you could dust fill may work with the correct glue. Remember, everything needs to move. It does not matter how dry you get that wood. Where it is the moment bar as soon as it goes back in the water? No matter how hard you try, that would get wet, and it will swell. You're doing a great job, don't be discouraged. It will get worse before it gets better if you're looking for inspiration. Tune into a channel Named, escape to France. This guy has took on. A burnt down building. . You're doing very well so far. 1 more thing that rubber your peeling off, that holds moisture under the wood. That's why it's so rotten. Don't reuse any of that in the future. If you wanna keep your plywood in good condition, you would be better off varnishing and grit painting. If I can offer more advise go on my chan hit the email and I can send you my number I hate texting it drives me bonkers lol. This is if you want to that is. Good luck fella.
I give you a huge amount of credit for tackling this job on your own, it would be nice to have a mate or two to lend you a helping hand. I think an investment in a battery powered drill would help make your life a bit easier, don’t you think? Keep up the good work, Cheers.
Language is terrible you lost at least 3 hours not concentrating on the job and blasphemy try watching Sarinda or call Gemma I’m sure Simon will be glad to put u right keep on no fought u have the skills to save the old lady

I didn't see where the anode was connected electrically to the metal keel, is it internal ? Well done so far.👍
Tools man get the right tools
Sweating like Stan Collymore in a car park. 🤣

Language is terrible you lost at least 3 hours not concentrating on the job and blasphemy try watching Sarinda or call Gemma I’m sure Simon will be glad to put u right keep on no fought u have the skills to save the old lady
Subscribed shipmate , but the constant blaspheming isn’t necessary , good work tho…
I subscribed for the blasphemy alone.
Keep going. Under there is a beautiful boat. Worthy of you immense work.
Blaspheming whywould you watch a major restoration and not expect some expletives, you'd be better sticking to Knitting Vids😖
