Can everyone hit the like button to help the channel tonight please 🙏
Yes, please! It probably doesn’t help that we uploaded a bit later today 🥴
Click that hitchhiking emoji everyone 😜👍🏼
👍
@@SailingSeabird always 👍
Hey guy's love your channel and would really like to see the shorts if you were to try that out!
Don't work too hard though, you need to keep your work life balance in good order.
Cheers and thanks again for the great content! Peter
Great video as always so if your doing away with the shower are you keeping the one in the other head ?😊
We would like to apologise for the late upload 🥴
It’s been a hard week and it took longer than expected. We hope you enjoy it though 😊
You are working really hard and everyone can see this.. if the videos is a little late it's better late than never...
I enjoy the updates and it doesn’t matter to me when they come or how often. I think changing thing up at work keeps you fresh and if that Friday deadline is becoming a rut, change it up! 😊. Keep up the good work and don’t let the pressure affect your relationship, I am confident things will work out since you’ve come this far. Best wishes and Merry Christmas!
Don't apologize you guys are awesome.
Love your earthy updates..! all the best for the New Year guys. ❤🎉
I for 1 would enjoy watching 15 min short videos daily. I can't get enough of you two. Best channel out there to watch a boat refit done well but not by throwing money at it. Well done you two. cheers from Down Under
Try not to get in a pattern of arguing too much, it just builds lasting resentments and makes problem solving much more difficult. You two are doing a great job on the boat rebuild and have so much to be proud of already. Keep up the good work!
Good point… Sometimes is hard though…Having a relationship whilst living this life style and getting a big project done is so much challenging than an average relationship where one goes to work 5 days a week and has a bigger living space 😅
As long as you have more laughs than arguments and dont go to bed mad you guys will be fine. We all grump at each other sometimes during projects. Just never take it to heart and know your partner loves you no matter what your doing great keep it up guys.
@@SailingSeabird
The colder weather, lack of sun conspires to steal our energy patience. Take some time to celebrate your achievements and the holiday with each other!
If I tried to do something like this with my missus I doubt both of us would survive
Turn the tanks around 180 degrees and drill an inspection hole in the stringer to fit the elbow!
That was the original set up but we wanted to try without so we didn’t have to cut our new shiny rib hehe. We’ll see… we might have to end up doing that 🤔
“If in doubt , give it a clout” , and yes , Marina should have her own hammer 😃😂🤣🍻🥂
😂😂😂 🔨
I'd give you guys another hammer if there weren't a big ass ocean in the way. I've got so many random, duplicate old tools that I've found over the years.
The key aspect of what you're calling the 'finger sander' is that it brings all of the fiberglass and epoxy dust back in a very controlled stream towards you. You hold the sander in one hand, and put the vacuum hose right under it and catch everything using your other hand. Unlike a normal radial or disc sander which throws it everywhere. You will not even need a tyvek suit when doing it this way and you can avoid getting fiberglass particles all over the interior of your building or boat.
This part of the project is a very dusty affair.
Thank you for the advice. Any tips on using new tools can save a lot of time.
Cheers for watching 😃
The old lady should be very greatful, that you didn't dump her by now. She should really thank you by taking good care of you when you sail her. 👍
Let’s hope 😊🤞 Thank you so much!
Turn the water tanks around and cut holes through the rib for the fittings then you can have the fuel tank very close to the water tanks. Beware of getting too close to the engine beds as you may need the space for the engine/belts/pulleys. Enjoying the videos
That’s actually how the old ones were installed. We were hoping we didn’t have to drill our brand new rib though… so we were trying to figure out a different way. But it might have to be like you’re suggesting. We’ll see 🤔
The position of the tanks looks good just a shame room for the fittings isn't there it's coming on nicely we have disagreements just don't let it ferment take a deep breath you are a very lovely couple good luck 😊😊😊
If you make the time to film it,I'll take the time to watch and enjoy it.
A really good way for making templates and moulds is to lay down polythene sheeting on the area you want a mould of, cover in expanding foam, pull the sheeting over and press down with a sheet of plywood.
Have to say this is by far one of the most enjoyable and honest channels where you get to see everything. It would be great to see more content but I would imagine it would be extremely difficult. Keep going looking forward to seeing Seabird on the water. 👌❤😁
Keep your epoxy tools in a sealed container with acetone.
You might check at the channel TheDuracellProject. The container can be big with a couple of liters acetone. It pays off by not buying new tools.
I feel cold just watching you. But you're getting it done. Believe it or not, one of these days, you will be sailing out of there.
Thanks for the encouragement Bob 😊💪🏼
Every couple who spends 24/7 together argues it's normal but just give each other some alone time at night if possible , things are looking good! Praying for the two of you🙏 Can't wait to see more progress!
1 video per day = perfect
Great tip. 10:20 / 32:48
Glad to know you guys argue... I was telling my wife that this atmosphere of perfect inderstanding while fixing a boat full of difficulties was kind of too perfect! 😊
Many young couples break up while renovating an old house, while living in it, can't imagine it would be any easier on an old boat, try to do other things as well, at least one or two things a week that you enjoy and look forward to, you can bring the camera, or leave it behind, you're a great story teller, we would watch, but also understand that you guys need alone time.
The fittings on the water tank can also be in the side of the tank, you can weld the old holes, if you can plastic weld, or maybe find the correct glue, for that particular kind of plastic, or just two stainless washers and a bolt with some polyurethane gue in between, you could even drill a big hole in the floor support, so it doesn't take up any room, you might need the room later, so better not waste it, and please give everything a generous coat of topcoat, it will make it so much easier to clean later.
As always, great work.
The quick daily Vlog’s can be a lot of fun and quite interesting - Dan from “Escape to Rural France” does (almost) a daily and they seem to be very well received.
Matt at the Duracell project keeps a screwtop 5 gallon bucket partially filled with acetone that he keeps his fiberglass tools in, to keep them clean between uses. Seems to work well. You might try to query him about this practice, but that might help you to permit multiple uses of otherwise unusable tools.
Keep up the good work!!
We’ll have a go then. Anything to not create more waste than it’s needed and save a few pennies 😅
About a daily publication. Do it simple, just show what you did, shortly explain what you will do . And thanks to share your adventure 😊
Thanks Eric! That’s not a bad idea…
the amount of effort and work involved is incredible, greathings from Serbia !
It's ok.
It's just a lot of little jobs.
Don't worry about the whole thing, that will come...
Cheers for watching 🙂
Daily video would be too much for me. Thx for bringing us along! 😊😊😊 John Ken
You got it!
Cheers for watching 😃
I saw someone else on another TH-cam channel. He used a large screw barrel with acetone in a layer in the barrel and put his epoxy tools in it after use. And only cleaned it before use! Also those metal rollers and spatulas and brushes....Good luck with your beautiful project.
Great tip. Those rollers are a nightmare to clean.
Cheers for watching 😃
That’s where that 10 mm wrench 🔧 went.
I’ll watch daily. Telly’s rubbish! Good work this week. Always great to catch up.
😂😂😂 Good to know!
Thanks Mr Jimmy!
I would watch more episodes also!
I like using those chip brushes for chasing bubbles in fibreglass. I just trim the bristles shorter so they are stiffer. Everyone argues from time to time it is being able to get over it and move on that is important. The thin roller is for corners. I would watch everyday if you are willing to put in all the work to get the videos up. The tanks look like that would be a great position.
Wohoo...that wind sounded COLD! You're doing great - just so much to do...
Yes it was! Thanks Tim 😊
It would be lovely to see you guys daily but I think your busy enough without doing that to, you dont want to overstretch yourselves, the good part is your starting to put things back in instead of jus ripping out, exciting isn't it.😊
I understand doing a video each day would be more work, much more work then you'd like, however I'm up for it. A little bit of what you fancy does you good as the old saying goes. I have worked in restoring before and usually taking old out is easier then rebuilding again, in this case it looks like the opposite might be the case. I honestly believe in, both your abilities to see this restoration through. You might find having a little break from what you're doing would help, to recharge the batteries so to speak, especially over Christmas, then come back re-energised. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us all. See you both next week. xx
Yes A post every day would be great!!
Have a nice weekend and have a good time, you shouldn't neglect the quality of life in order to strengthen harmony and creativity 🏖️☯️🫂
Thank you! That’s a good advice 😊
We’ll see about the daily vlogs 🤔
hello you two. keep in mind that the mast step receives the highest load of any on a sailboat ...soo...you really should install meaningfull cross members fore and aft of the step reaching well up into the hull both sdes to help distributing the load. make sure you do more not less than the original Regards, Don i@@SailingSeabird
You're doing great, specially because you're working in dark and cold conditions. Make sure you have a debrief after the day with a glass or cup of something :) This time next year you will be reeping the benefits!
guys, flip the water tanks, so that the fittings are on the other side.. then make a hole in the floor support to accomidate. done and done..
Nice too see you use my suggestion of bits with hot glue, much quicker and lighter to make a template 👍👍👍
Thanks for the idea! It worked great! 😊
That is a ton of work you've done this week. Stop and a have a walk around every now & then, whether together or alone, it helps to keep things in proportion. Making a daily video sounds like adding even more work to what appears to be an already heavy workload. Nice idea, but when the wind is howling, it's freezing and you don't have your own hammer, getting anything done is significant. Life can always throw an unexpected curveball, so whatever else, remember to enjoy yourselves!
Wise advice! It’s so easy to forget to have a proper break… We get caught in the boatyard dynamic and forget that there’s much more than that and we don’t need to go far to unwind 🙃
We won’t doing if we see that it is too much or it will affect our productivity but we might give it a go at some point 😊
also, get some more stuff you need on the wishlist please.. i mean everything and anything.. someone like me may not have much, but a $10 or $20 item on the wishlist, sure makes it easy..
I would watch a vid a day! Go 4 it
Remember those floors are not just to hold floor up but deserve a very important structural purpose, they keep the 2 sides of the hull apart when the body is heeled over , they stop the sides of hull collapsing together from the weight of the keel.
Cheers Warren
Yup!
It's a pretty important part.
We hope to get it right.
Cheers for watching 😃
@@SailingSeabird your doing good!!!
When an argument begins ro rear its ugly head,just remember you are both right,just in different ways. It's a human thing. Nice work on the boat guys.
Thanks Thomas! True… A lot of the time we just see it our way but there’s always two sides to the same story and both are equally valid 😊
Good job team! On reassembly, take the time to measure twice, and get the refitment correct. I even draw a picture with the measurements, and bring to the saw table👍
Yup! It would be annoying to find out the tanks don’t fit after building all the ribs 😂😂
Your persistence is amazing - I don't know how you keep it up.
I've seen another channel use a large sealable cannister of acetone to store/clean their tools - sealable so that they can keep the same acetone.
Nice one Marini! 😀
Thank you!
Cheers for watching 😃
Turn your water tanks around and cut holes in the bulkhead for the fittings
You guys work so well together, this must be the best rebuild on Utube? I'd love to see a 15 minute blog. Wishing you Happy Holidays! Are you skiing in Austria this winter?
Happy Holidays 🎄
Working on the boat this winter.
Hopefully we get somewhere.
Might go for a cheeky ski trip, Marina might not. 🤣
Cheers for watching 😃
The " penny roller " in that set is a very good tool. Look it up!
Seeing daily progress would be awsome. Luving Stu's dry humour 😂
Cheers Nick!
A lot of work was done this week . Good for you.
please use a piece of plastic over the epoxy when doing fillets ,tabbings etc. you make so much work for yourselves having to sand so much. any plastic even a shopping bag will do, thicker helps you get smoother less wrinkles. but once you lay up a fillet lay a plastic over and smooth with you hand fingers etc and leave in place until its gone off. Once he epoxy is hard the plastic just peals off leaving a perfect smooth surface no sanding WOW. just try it you will love it.
Sylvaiiiin!!! 😍😁
Yo!
Happy Holidays 🎄
Hope you're having some great adventures.
It's like a ghost town atm.
Cheers for watching 😃
Thanks for another wonderful Friday video.. you're making serious progress now.. people no matter how great of a job you do are going to leave their opinions and most don't know what they're talking about.. you just keep working away and Seabird will be looking better than new in no time.. I will watch whatever content you produce..
Thank you so much!
@SailingSeabird you're welcome.. I thoroughly enjoy the videos that you 2 are working hard to produce.. I've been subscribed since you were looking at seabird and you didn't have many subscribers, your hard work and dedication has resulted in a growing channel.. by the time you are ready to go sailing hopefully you have a large enough following that you can make extra money and create some amazing content.. have yourselves a MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Keep the faith. you guys are on this every day. It is a hard thing. working on a boat is space limiting, making it difficult to work together. Arguing is good for the soul. Just hug each other at the end of the day. You are making awesome progress.
Learn as you that's life!!
So true.
Cheers for watching 🙂
That material holding the shower pan in is ‘syntactic’ foam or filler. It’s a pourable or ‘slop-able’ made from resin and filler, filler can be a mix of microballons, glass beads, calcium carbonate powder, ground up fiberglass , even dry play sand depending of application. The resin is polyester resin for easy of working , faster cure ,cost and availability. Other option are usually a lot more expensive, but can save weight when that’s important
Cheers Warren
Love your collective perseverance, number 1 thing need for major boat jobs. You start to see the clean canvas for rebuilding the interior - nice !
That's the plan!
It's a slow process.
Cheers for watching 😃
If you have the time to upload and doing uncut vids every day. Remember, you need the time for the boat, don´t take to much time of your days that is needed for boatwork. Its great work, but you gotta long way to go, before she´s splashed.
It's good that someone is cracking the whip 😅😂🤣
Happy Holidays 🎄
Cheers for watching 😃
Most impressive! That fuel tank looked a right pig and obviously caused some tensions, good that it has gone, it seemed cursed and probably would have given you so much agro with the new engine with dirt and black slime getting into your fuel system. That new one looks fab. Well done you did so much this week
yes, but of course we like that. we always look forward to following your adventure
Well done on getting the video up in a challenging week.
Good progress on the boat. You call that part of the boat what ever you want. It's your boat. 😁. Yes! Love your videos and your boat project. I would watch daily. You both are great inspiration for me to keep working on my sailboat project. 😊 ⛵
Thanks 👍
I’ll watch daily.😁😊😉
greetsz from friesland...max
Yes daily would be great 😊
love my saturday with you... Keep up the good work
I will watch every day !
Well done. Good progress. The pizza cutter like roller is to push the fibreglass mat down into corners so there are no air pockets there. ATB regards from the UK
Thanks for the tips!
Cheers for watching 😃
If you can find a bucket with a sealable lid, put some acetone in it and keep your glassing tools in that.
I see somebody sent you a roller pack with the nice handles.
The odd one is for tight corners , almost useless as tight corners are bad . Then you forget to clean it!
You have to really clean then well and dry , sitting in acetone the resin will sink to bottom and cure on the rollers. Just dissemble each time and reassemble just before using and check for easy rolling , I’ve spent years using them daily it’s the best way and doubly so with sticky epoxy !
Cheers Warren
You guys are making headway!
Are we?! 😂 Slowly slowly hehe We are trying our best 💪🏼
Despite the anguish and the arguments one thing is for sure you are going to end up with a seriously strong boat. Well done
Oh, Be Sweet to each other.
24,7,365 sometimes is hard… 😅
I fully understand the frustrating situation been there myself just hang in kids yes a daily update video be great but don't spend too much time editing marina. Best of luck and cheers n beers guys Marty Australia. footnote the boat will be perfect that's the endgame! Stuart remember your a Brit and poms never give in. Cheers
the new tanks huge are a huge improvement great work!
Yes they are!
Good progress again, when re-fitting and working hard our tempers can get the better of all of us, it is just a sign of frustration, stay with it, count 10 and smile, it does help, good luck from the UK, thanks for taking the time to record your progress, Happy Christmas to you both!
Great point!
Cheers for watching 😃
Little lady, Next time he gives you the shit’s just send him out to do a bin raid. Hey mate, Next time she gives you the shit’s just send her out to the storage shed to get some stuff (Just make it up) 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. You two rock 👍 Your doing a great job. I mean 24/7 working on a small boat it’s not easy and to make videos at the same time is just incredible 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
If you can do it, a daily vlog would be lovely. Hey, argumentative days come and go; couples often have different views to solve the same problem, but I'm sure you two are fine and will continue to be fine. Just remember never to go to bed angry 🙂 Good luck and all the best, as always!
Hello again, I know you want to get it done as fast as possible, but sometimes working fast in the cold may result in breaking something of hurting your finger or whatever. I just thought a little heat might make it more comfortable for Marina, she looked like she was totally bundled up. Cheers and your work is looking goood.
Hello Stu and Marina. I am wondering if you two have considered getting a small indoor kerosine heater to help some with the cold? Forty years ago I used one when we went "camping" on our boat in the winter. It was very safe and helped a lot. Ok keep up the good work and don't get sick. Ciao.
Hello!!!
To be fair… there’s been a few very cold days but in general is not too bad. Maybe the cold will make us work faster 😅
Good vidio, you can keep your brushes and rollers in vinegar over night to keep them from going hard
Cheers!!! Really?! Will that work with epoxy? 😳
I used the same brush for 2 months years ago and its easy on your hands
you can also rap them tight in plastic! Something a friend showed me, who was a painter master tradesmans. However, this is only good for a day!
If it's not a big problem for you, I would definitely watch your dailies
Oh thank you!
Cheers for watching 😃
@@SailingSeabird I love your channel ♥ and I have already recommended it to my friends... I hope they are watching and that they already subscribed ☺
Good job you two. Someday soon, you will see your rewards
I would love to see more videos even if it was Monday Wednesday and Friday.😊
Just an idea at the moment.
We might do a random week or if something big is happening.
Cheers for watching 😃
I can't believe your making more work for yourselves , I do believe do the job right the first time . That floor is a major undertaking PLUS you still have the exterior to do !
Just gets better, awesome job on getting the tank out! Daily short updates would be great but only if its not taking away too much from your work on Seabird (and your own time) 🍻
Just an idea Marina had...
Cheers for watching 😃
Very nice video this week. Thank you. Reminds me i have to fit my water tank also.
I would watch a daily video. But don't stress about it.
Look forward to the week/daily video. Have a good week….
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Nice episode. I learn so much from you two. I also you bring back lovely memories of my youth in the Caribbean. I envy you two. So I will enjoy watching you have fun on the boat.
We would definitely watch all of your videos. This work isn’t very pleasant, but your boat will be amazing when you’re done. (I know we’re never actually done.) Nat and I have bad days, too…just so the good days outnumber the bad. 🥰😎👍😁❤️❤️❤️
good progress, beats me why you need to sand completed Fibre glass patches when they will not be visual with the floor dow. You ara a great couple please lower the stress and find time for each other. 🥰
Looking really good with the new tanks in place … daily updates might defeat the weekly one though ..unless it gains you more money it’s your call
Cheers!
Yeah… Fair enough. We thought you might be interested in living a whole week with us and get a real feel of how our life is but maybe you’re right and there’s no point 😅
That’s a honest reply . It’s your channel and enjoyable so if you want us to live with you daily go for it. ❤❤
Have you considered doing shorts? You could use some bits from existing videos or future videos, might be more manageable in terms of editing and time of course. Love the content, keep smashing it
I've got time to watch daily, have you got time to produce it daily? I enjoy every episode. I must start from the beginning and watch all of them. A suggestion. Would polyurethane foam be any use to support the fuel tank? It will spread the load over the hull and support the tank. Glass it in afterwards to protect it.
Good job
Thanks
Nice gloves Evil 🤘
😂😂😂🏍️
Yes a daily video would be great
Just an idea atm...
Cheers for watching 😃
Luv ya's...
Yay!
A lot of channels do a daily live vlog. It's a great idea. Yes, working in close proximity with your partner will generate frustration & irritation. Just remember not to take it all too seriously. After all... If you lost all your worldly possessions you'd still have each other and that's far better than squabbling over silly stuff. 😊
Hey guys
Cleaning the metal roller is easy. Keep a jar of acetone handy and drop the roller in when you done each time. Give the jar a good shake and your done
Your doing a fantastic job and I'm enjoying following your journey
Thanks for this week video, is was supper satisfying seen the tank going out and laying down the new ones. Good job 🎉🎉
In my humble opinion prefer a weekly video with all the progress 😊
Keep it up/ Vamos que ustedes pueden
Cuanto les queda en el otro bote, de renta?
