I feel Greg should either visit and put his signature on an important piece of wood to be built into the boat or sign a piece and sent it to be built into the boat. Greg, you're a good man. Thanks.
It would be cool if they had a section of bulkhead in the main living area of the boat where they could copy the signature of all the people that contributed financially to their success. I realize it would probably be hundreds if not thousands of names, but they could be in really small print. 😊
You were right, Aladino: the yacht at 12:17 is "Cito" (ex- "Doxy"), an M2 Class Spidsgatter designed by MSJ Hansen, built in Copenhagen Denmark in 1936 by Jorgen Wass. The Folkboat is "Lorraine", owned by sailmaker Carol Hasse.
As a cabinet maker, the opportunity to have matched grain is almost never possible. I know from the real time updates you got the mahogany plank. That was the right call
@@jillmcfarland-reddick3505 If you can this is the channel to support. The cost is less than a coffee and you support what I believe to be the best utube channel. You combine great skill from a professional boat builder, with the artistry of a poet, videographer, musician of great skill. I support a handful of channels mostly DYI type, but this is my overall favorite.
Thank you, Greg. Your donations just make this channel even better for the rest of us; we love to see the joy and craftsmanship. Thanks for enabling their obsession!
Since you occasionally visit the town with the Cape George Boatyard you should ask if you can raid their bins. Companies like that throw out some good stuff because it is not economical for them to refurbish nor do their customers want it. However it is an opportunity for you to get stuff using sweat equity rather than cash. Of course you are not going to find long pieces of Alaskan Cedar but you certainly will find off cuts fixtures fittings stainless steel screws hinges etc. Think of it as recycling or upcycling. The Boatyard will be just as happy for you to cart it off as the town garbage collectors.
Pretty sure the people actually renting space in the boatyard and doing work, of which there are many.........would have preference over someone not even working out of the yard.
@@JCrook1028 This particular boatyard is a manufacturing boatyard where they make Cape George Yachts i.e. the same yacht that is in the video. Hence ay items they discard would be from the same make and even model. I am not aware if they rent out space to other boatowners or not but they have already had a tour and some valuable advice on how they are made.
@@glennedwards1449 That particular boatyard rents out space to dozens of people working there, as seen in the video even. Just as a quick example it also hosts another YT channel, Sampson Boat Co with Leo rebuilding Tally Ho. It also houses a school of boat building as well as other apprenticeship programs. The company that built their boat is only one renter of space there. They do not own the yard. Lmao, you really have zero clue of the facts of the matter.
I would have thought that a West Coast Canadian would go for Madrone or Western Red Cedar. My wife loved to ride the Washington State Ferrys shown in the scene from the restaurant. So her last ride was on one of those ferrys and in your video you could actually see the location where her ashes were thrown to the wind.
what a perfect day out. Lumber yard with the most beautiful wood and a boat yard with lovely classic yachts. And then dinner overlooking that bay. You could easily spend a day, and a small fortune in Edensaw. Yes, Cheoy Lee designs are beautiful.
Life's little surprises from generous Patrons are a gift from God. Greg has a Heart of Gold to be helping support your project. You are a blessing Sir. What a wonderful thing to do. This makes me excited to see how things turn out on Sailing Magic Carpet II. Great video!
At the time of this trip it had not been moved yet. Having the inside on the timing. SV Touchstone status was pre-launch. They were doing much preparation with building tenancy. I kind of knew it had to come in within the wood zone. Every person is generally busy on their own job or project, certainly was.
Nice job, as always. I like your gentle voice - your a great narrator. Also, I am a person who loves to look at various pieces of wood and admire their beauty and think about all the possibilities that each contain.
So glad you enjoyed your day out, and kudos to Greg for the special surprise which made you so happy. There is nothing as much fun as finding you have more to spend than you thought.
Aladino, you are perfectly right. Some pieces of wood simply tell you what they were created for and don't allow you to use them for anything else. My teak for Mariposa came from a yard where there was an acre of rough sawn teak laying out in an open field. I had no intention of having bright teak cabin sides, but after the first pass over the planer I couldn't re saw a 17" wide vertical grain plank into decking. That single plank ended up becoming the entire edge matched cabin trunk exterior.
And what a beauty mariposa has become! I always worry about weight to some degree. Of course these boats are incredibly heavy but where I can I like keeping it lighter aswell. If divinycell was considerably cheaper I would make the whole interior out of grp sandwiched panels. Have a great week!
Is Mariposa still in Port Townsend? Last time I saw her was a couple of years ago out at Cape George Boat Works. Still looked great even with fiberglass decks replacing the Teak! LOL (ps If she is still around the area, check out the Guzzwell cap rails after nearly 40 years.)
One of my mistakes with Mariposa was putting too much weight in the bow. Big performance killer in a sea way. I'm skeptical about whether your locker will self feed, but if it doesn't work out I wouldn't hesitate to build a vertical locker in part of what is nowt a hanging locker across from the head. It will actually help counter balance the weight of the head, galley, and book shelves.
Kid in a candy store! I worked for a third generation family logger/sawyer back in the early 80s in the Sierras of northern CA. I never forgot the excitement of sawing into a rotten log and revealing the beautiful heartwood still sound inside. I built my house on family property which was further back on the dirt road from the mill. Many of my paychecks for two years came in the form of lumber I set aside during the week. Often the best board or two (subjective) from each of the logs we milled. Some weeks the owner would say my pile of lumber was more than I earned. We always worked something out. ; ) As I was nearing retirement in 2013 I decided it was now or never and purchased a Woodmizer LT40 sawmill. I'm now in a very rural/remote area of north central Washington state near the U.S./Ca border, so the couple of local tree service businesses don't have sawyers clambering for their butt logs off the yard trees they remove. They don't want to hassle with these big heavy logs that quickly dull their chains, so they are happy to give them to me. My yard is full of stacks of sugar maple, red maple, birch, aspen, walnut, pine, cedar, fir and spruce. And I'm as happy as a clam!
Great video. The sailboat in the habor is a danish spidsgatter - a big one. You can find a article abort the boattype if you seach for “the spidsgatter pax”, that is owned by Kaci Cronkite.
Thanks Greg. It's always something special to see a pair of artisans handed materials they transform into the wonders of their respective crafts. That Cape George deserves these two, and wonderful benefactors such as yourself.
I love your videos! As you were exploring Port Townsend I was reliving our wonderful time in that most gorgeous of towns. I know you are working long hours and don't have the time to indulge yourselves in some of the other projects on youtube, but I want you to be aware of the Tally Ho project, a refit of a 100 old cutter, that is going on in the big marina you wandered through. I would bet Aladino would find a lot in common with Leo the boat builder, you are both master craftsmen.
You really must meet Kaci Cronkhite and see her sweet little double ender Pax. Her book "Finding Pax" is a boat odyssey. She and the boat are in Port Townsend.
Hey, that was my boat in the yard. It's actually a 1968 wooden Mason 40 instead of a Cheoy Lee. I often get asked if it is a Cheoy Lee Offshore 40. I have the original blueprints to the boat signed by Alvin Mason.
Thank you Greg! Gave such a big woop! Following magic carpet since the French canals. So happy so see this beautiful couple make it so far! Al love the hoody, super green! Wish you all the best!
This channel is poetry expressed in wordsmithing and woodworking. My soul feels nourished that these two exceptional artists are building an environment that they share with us. May they always dream and share it with us who for many reasons lack the freedom to choose the same path. Thank you the beautiful, educational vlogs Maya.
You show great artistic qualities in the videos you make, no matter what the episode is about. I'm sure it is an excellent way to express your thoughts, similar to playing music or painting a picture. The time and thought you must put into camera angles, backgrounds, what to say, and everything required for the recording, then the hours spent on editing, choosing and adding the music, creating fun or interesting effects, all add to make your channel most excellent.
After 2 hours at Edensaw I was hungry so we left. My wife would say the same thing. I love these little gems. Great video. Thanks for taking on an interesting trip to Edensaw and 2 boat yards. Always very interesting. Have a great week guys.
Your videos and prose/narration continues to improve with each additional episode. The mixture of various environments in S4E20, was very refreshing. I like the idea of investing in purchase of Mahogany for the interior cabinets and shelves. It should really enhance the ambience of your living quarters.
that is a nice wood yard! I was lucky enough to have a wife that enjoyed wood and dreaming about what we could do with woods, so we spent time in such places too. Here in SF Bay area, some of the nicest wood yards have disappeared, but, there are some decent ones left. Get to know the owners and managers and you can get things sometimes. Ask about if they have more backstock, (even if you know they don't) and often they will ship some in for you. Even if they don't, it is good for them to know that there is demand for such and then they will bring in more in the future. Also there are some small specialty mills sometimes that you can find. Small loggers that have their own woodmizers or such to mill up what you want. The lumber might not be as dry or finished, but often times that isn't bad. I recently asked if a yard had any really clear Fir 4x6 lumber for some really nice rafters, (that I didn't kneed for 6 months yet) and the owner remembered he had some big aid dried bents that he was saving, and milled me up a dozen beautiful clear fir rafters. Thanks for taking us along.
I'm glad you're splicing the occasional field trip into this series. I know you have a huge project in front of you and I respect that you're making the most of the shop and the people allowing you to work there, but there's more to life than just work.
Hi Aladino-- If you feel inclined to experiment with cored cabinetry consider Tricell. We did the entire interior interior of a 112' S & S motor sailor from veneered tricell panels we sourced from Edensaw. Main reason for the choice was that it is much more stable than even the best plywood. I also found that relatively thick veneers could be bagged down with epoxy leaving room to sand the joins and be nearly as durable as solid wood. And exotic hardwoods are nearly impossible to edge match over larger areas if in solid lumber form. Or stop by Boeing Surplus bins and browse for Nomex/carbon off cuts. They can be cheaper than plywood!
Hy Richard! The latter is more intriguing😜 There is so much equipment missing on which we will have to prioritize our savings on but the idea of light panels is intriguing of course. I think these boats can take it and handle it well:)
1. I'm very happy your happy place is video/film art creation. Without it I'd have no happy Friday video viewing. 2. Loved the harbor day away & views from Sirens. Just last summer I rode the ferry boats between Anacortes and San Juan Island on a bicycle tour.
another great video guys I have a novel suggestion for your vberth shelves, to save weight you could laminate some foam for the shelf structure and then laminate the veneer of your choice to give the wood look and feel without the weight just another idea to throw around enjoy
I know there is a huge amount of work to do, and that you both enjoy doing it.... But the size of your smiles when in the boat yard was a delight to see.... All work and no play makes jack a dull boy.... take time for Maya and Aladino.... ps: that boat "De Ja Vu"... have we seen it before??? :-)))) xxxxx
Nice views from Sirens! And the interior of the boat looks longer than it does from the outside. I've gotta lok and see if you've done an interior tour...
Another super episode, Greg is a superstar to help you finalise your dreams. I love how both of you are so humble and down to earth as you talk us through your thoughts on the possibilities that you now have for Magic Carpet 11. Take Care.
What a wonderful gift! I definitely couldn't stop myself from looking at the great stock off project at EdenSaw, blinders back on and just buy the Spruce I required. Thanks for the shot of SV Touchstone pre-launch. Think I was on electrical at the time. Grinding hours of build work. Sometimes I just need to look at others boats to keep the inspiration up. Good to see you two getting time off project.
aahh a friday morning ray of sunshine , port townsend is truly a mecca for yachties , glad you gave yourselves a break it much deserved , a12 foot slab of exotic wood in this day and age, grab it and create !!!! fairwinds for both of you
What a lovely tour of Port Townsend. The only thing that you left out was the shipwrights co-op area. Maybe next time. Sitting by the water was so nice, and as you described it I was transported there. Thank you for the mini trip.
Thank you for bringing back great memories, I used to live at point Hudson and work at fleet marine. I knew Brian and Carol,meet kit Africa, and many more great Legends. Port Townsend is such a fun town. You should go out to fort Worden many fun hikes.
Great episode, I was really interested in going to the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Show for the first time this year but due to other obligations not able to attend. So will be going next year. It was a delight to get a glimpse of some of the town and the Edensaw lumber yard. Thank you.
It was cancelled for 2021 so you didn't miss it. I too was planning on a Pacific Northwest trip to the show and visit my two daughters in WA and OR. There is hope for 2022.
Also, day trip up into Edison (north of LaConner) Smith & Vallee Wood cabinet builders place-opened M-F weekdays-great place to scout rare woods plus on weekends this one street is a Mecca for galleries and restaurants/brewery. Fun!
What an enjoyable episode. I have never wished more that I could smell through the screen than I did when you were in the lumber store. I imagine it smells like heaven. I lived on Whidbey isl. for a few years and am planning on retiring there in a couple of years, perhaps I will see you and your beautiful boat on the water some day. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
I have a timber yacht and love the feel of it. She has teak capping on the gunnels that has never been oiled or varnished in 47 odd years and just needs a sand every 5yrs or so. All the teak on her is weather worn and grey but looks good and is very functional and low maintenance
Kinda funny, you guys filmed the boat on either side of mine and the back of my truck, surprised my dog wasn't out there telling you a sad story about how hungry he is! I love going up to Edensaw, can spend way too much time and money up there! That boat at 12:11 is Carol Hasse's boat. Watching her sail her is watching a master at work!
Hey Renegade, now that Magic Carpet and Sampson Boat are in the same yard as you, you may wanna hire them to work on your boat. Both of them appear to be doers and not talkers.
You two are so DEAR. As far as wood, my take is you never know what a piece of wood will allow you to do and you never know how much it will mean to you in the future. Almost all of the wood I work with was sawn on the halves. I took logs, the saw mill got half of the lumber and I got half, there was no money exchanged. I probably should have paid the 25 cents a board foot and kept all of the lumber. Wood I work now came from trees I cut down before either of you were born. 10% of the wood I've worked means far more to me than the other 90% but, I didn't know any of that at the time. All of that to say, "just do it". All of the figuring and planning add immensely to how much you'll value it but, if you don't follow through you haven't done enough. Final advice, take pictures. Oh, the stuff I've built that I wish I had a picture of. I don't really have regrets, you two are doing better than I did but, If I'd known then what I know now...
Have you seen the Tally Ho being built by Leo with Samson Boat Company. They have moved Tally Ho into the big yellow building I think I saw on your boat yard tour. Love your channel.
The music to accompany the introduction to Edensaw was outstanding but it was really nice to watch a craftsman select the materials he is going to craft into a masterpiece. There was something poetic about the process. People ask me what I find in watching your story and I can't really explain it. I guess if you can't see it you will not be able to understand any explanation either.

I feel Greg should either visit and put his signature on an important piece of wood to be built into the boat or sign a piece and sent it to be built into the boat. Greg, you're a good man. Thanks.
It'd be easy enough to do a wood-burn from his signature on a slip of paper.
Motion is duly seconded (30th really)
It would be cool if they had a section of bulkhead in the main living area of the boat where they could copy the signature of all the people that contributed financially to their success. I realize it would probably be hundreds if not thousands of names, but they could be in really small print. 😊

And exotic hardwoods are nearly impossible to edge match over larger areas if in solid lumber form. Or stop by Boeing Surplus bins and browse for Nomex/carbon off cuts. They can be cheaper than plywood!
Hy Richard!
The latter is more intriguing😜
There is so much equipment missing on which we will have to prioritize our savings on but the idea of light panels is intriguing of course.
I think these boats can take it and handle it well:)
Thanks for taking us along on your wonderful trip. Thank you Greg for "our" lovely gift. 😍
1. I'm very happy your happy place is video/film art creation. Without it I'd have no happy Friday video viewing. 2. Loved the harbor day away & views from Sirens. Just last summer I rode the ferry boats between Anacortes and San Juan Island on a bicycle tour.
another great video guys I have a novel suggestion for your vberth shelves, to save weight you could laminate some foam for the shelf structure and then laminate the veneer of your choice to give the wood look and feel without the weight just another idea to throw around enjoy
Maya you are a beautiful storyteller as well as an incredible videographer. Perfect music 👍⛵️⛵️🥰
look fab places to look around some very nice look at timbers wish you both well and t c
Good to see you take a break from work. Hope you find some useful timber.
Thanks for taking us along on your drive. Nice nature and bullt scenery; so different to our scenes in England.
I know there is a huge amount of work to do, and that you both enjoy doing it.... But the size of your smiles when in the boat yard was a delight to see.... All work and no play makes jack a dull boy.... take time for Maya and Aladino.... ps: that boat "De Ja Vu"... have we seen it before??? :-)))) xxxxx
Nice views from Sirens! And the interior of the boat looks longer than it does from the outside. I've gotta lok and see if you've done an interior tour...
Another super episode, Greg is a superstar to help you finalise your dreams. I love how both of you are so humble and down to earth as you talk us through your thoughts on the possibilities that you now have for Magic Carpet 11. Take Care.
Pure enjoyment watching your videos, listening to your beautiful story telling, and learning while you go through your work process. Thank you.
What a wonderful gift! I definitely couldn't stop myself from looking at the great stock off project at EdenSaw, blinders back on and just buy the Spruce I required.
Thanks for the shot of SV Touchstone pre-launch. Think I was on electrical at the time. Grinding hours of build work. Sometimes I just need to look at others boats to keep the inspiration up.
Good to see you two getting time off project.
You guys are amazing, very down to earth. You are lucky to have Greg as a benefactor.
Happy for the both of you, and the gift you received from the Gentleman at Eden Saw ! Thank you for sharing your Journey.
Another wonderful episode. I am in a hospital room in Palo Alto California recovering from extensive surgery. Your video was a breath of fresh air.
Thank you Chip!
Wishing you a fast recovery!
Aladino and Maya
Port Townsend has an excellent boatyard with shipwrights with many years of experience and knowledge which would be an advantage to you're build.
aahh a friday morning ray of sunshine , port townsend is truly a mecca for yachties , glad you gave yourselves a break it much deserved , a12 foot slab of exotic wood in this day and age, grab it and create !!!! fairwinds for both of you
Thank you for the fun field trip, always enjoyable and beautiful music to boot, cheers
It’s so fabulous that you both have the same passion for your project and boating.
Loved walking around Fort Townsend with you. One day I hope to travel their to see the incredible sights.
What a lovely tour of Port Townsend. The only thing that you left out was the shipwrights co-op area. Maybe next time. Sitting by the water was so nice, and as you described it I was transported there. Thank you for the mini trip.
Thank you for bringing back great memories, I used to live at point Hudson and work at fleet marine. I knew Brian and Carol,meet kit Africa, and many more great Legends. Port Townsend is such a fun town. You should go out to fort Worden many fun hikes.
Great episode, I was really interested in going to the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Show for the first time this year but due to other obligations not able to attend. So will be going next year. It was a delight to get a glimpse of some of the town and the Edensaw lumber yard. Thank you.
It was cancelled for 2021 so you didn't miss it. I too was planning on a Pacific Northwest trip to the show and visit my two daughters in WA and OR. There is hope for 2022.
@@terrysullivan1992 Thank you for that information.
Mahogany for beautiful grain matched cabinetry is weight well spent. Grab the slab!
You can smell a good timber yard long before you arrive
aww folkeboot, sailed them alot in da baltic sea. one in Seattle eoe
Every video a work of art.
Beautiful, inspiring,
Awesome

What a great video! Many thumbs up! My boat is going into the yard at Boat Haven in a few days. Maybe we will see you around.
What a beautiful day you’ve had wandering around my backyard-almost! 👍😀but this fall weather has been awesome hadn’t it??
Also, day trip up into Edison (north of LaConner) Smith & Vallee Wood cabinet builders place-opened M-F weekdays-great place to scout rare woods plus on weekends this one street is a Mecca for galleries and restaurants/brewery. Fun!
Just delightful as always! What a timely and wonderful gift from Greg.
What an enjoyable episode. I have never wished more that I could smell through the screen than I did when you were in the lumber store. I imagine it smells like heaven. I lived on Whidbey isl. for a few years and am planning on retiring there in a couple of years, perhaps I will see you and your beautiful boat on the water some day. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Of all your refit episodes, this one is the most mesmerizing so far
I’ve never had a view like that from a restaurant 🖐👍
I have a timber yacht and love the feel of it. She has teak capping on the gunnels that has never been oiled or varnished in 47 odd years and just needs a sand every 5yrs or so. All the teak on her is weather worn and grey but looks good and is very functional and low maintenance
Kinda funny, you guys filmed the boat on either side of mine and the back of my truck, surprised my dog wasn't out there telling you a sad story about how hungry he is!
I love going up to Edensaw, can spend way too much time and money up there!
That boat at 12:11 is Carol Hasse's boat. Watching her sail her is watching a master at work!
Hey Renegade, now that Magic Carpet and Sampson Boat are in the same yard as you, you may wanna hire them to work on your boat. Both of them appear to be doers and not talkers.
Have you already met Leo who's rebuilding Tally Ho there?
So cool to see people help fund your project. Greg is like a fairy godfather
"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse"
You two are so DEAR. As far as wood, my take is you never know what a piece of wood will allow you to do and you never know how much it will mean to you in the future. Almost all of the wood I work with was sawn on the halves. I took logs, the saw mill got half of the lumber and I got half, there was no money exchanged. I probably should have paid the 25 cents a board foot and kept all of the lumber. Wood I work now came from trees I cut down before either of you were born. 10% of the wood I've worked means far more to me than the other 90% but, I didn't know any of that at the time. All of that to say, "just do it". All of the figuring and planning add immensely to how much you'll value it but, if you don't follow through you haven't done enough. Final advice, take pictures. Oh, the stuff I've built that I wish I had a picture of. I don't really have regrets, you two are doing better than I did but, If I'd known then what I know now...
Congrats on the vaccine! 💙🎉🤗
I suggest you go with your heart...❤❤
I’ve used Edensaw for years. Glad to see them here!
Have you seen the Tally Ho being built by Leo with Samson Boat Company. They have moved Tally Ho into the big yellow building I think I saw on your boat yard tour. Love your channel.
The music to accompany the introduction to Edensaw was outstanding but it was really nice to watch a craftsman select the materials he is going to craft into a masterpiece. There was something poetic about the process. People ask me what I find in watching your story and I can't really explain it. I guess if you can't see it you will not be able to understand any explanation either.
You guys should go see Leo at Talley Ho!
I would like to suggest using a heat gun to bend the pvc in the chain locker to track better to the hull
Thx Jerry
It’s not visible but that’s actually what I did :)
I did expect that you will visit TALLY HO workshop in port TOWNSEND.
Really nice people doing great things helped by other really nice people.
it's great seeing you having fun.
Glad to see it coming along nicely. Thanks for sharing your story.
Uh oh Alladino is drooling, i believe. 😳
I was surprised that you didn’t visit Leo and Tally Ho. It looked like you were right there at his boat shed.
