This is probably one of the most criminally under subscribed channels on TH-cam! Keep up the hard work, Sarinda is looking great!
Absolutley right. Its crazy this channel not have more subscribers. Very likable persons and a project that should intrerest a lot of people.
Our number one you tube watch on Friday nights, wish I could go over and help
This has been a must watch for me since the beginning. The two of you can do anything together. Keep on doing what you are doing. Love you both. :)
100% agree
Use some temporary clamp-on lights. Clamp them to the stringers or web frames and point them up at the ceiling. The light will reflect off the ceiling and light the rest of the room. Remember, it's only temporary until you can decide on permanent lighting.
You could even use the existing 24v spots for that.
You read my mind, why have down light when up is better.
Yep.. my thoughts exactly.
this
No one has a wife like yours, Simon! She's one in a million!!
My wife won't let me buy a boat.
Velcro. No screws. I did use a thin panel covered with wht vinyl. I will attempt to send Pics
Shut up you fool, she'll want a pay rise.
Also its very clever to acknowledge her working hard.. 😄
You could use some temporary tension poles between the beams and mount lighting to them.
No matter what critics might say...remember they are just that critics...not boat builders like you guys. From my perspective, you are doing a wonderful job and you're making the boat stronger and more stable. I think you guys are an incredible team and deserve kudos for even tackling this huge job. Keep at it and we will all love to see the finished project.
I've got to the age where they say, if you want 20 years out of that you need to do it this way. If I live that long I think it will be someone elses problem by then. So I get a resonable job done instead of perfection. I mean, for crying out loud it took 10 weeks to get a single pulley from Sweden, when I could have done the job in an hour with a second hand one without paying enough to bolster the Swedish export industry for a week. Volvo are Chinese owned anyway.
The beams and the white overhead look spectacular! I commend you both for imagining that result considering what you started with!! I hope that every time you read or hear a negative comment you both are able to remember exactly how uniquely skilled you are. You are a rare pair!
Simon, I think your days of saying "we don't have an idea of what we're doing" are gone. You are both very accomplished at this point and Sarinda is looking fantastic!
this front section takes my breath away. I can't believe they've actually done it - and done a 'proper job'. Full of admiration.
For the lighting, use LED strip light rolls along the beam shelves. Then when you need to remove or relocate you can just move them / cut them / rearrange them as you need to / like.
They also have diffuser tubes you can place them in that we make it look how you want it.
If you put enough lights up it will be like CHRISTMAS, only 4 months to go!
If they're going to be using LEDs for lighting then they are going to have to adjust the camera so it doesn't turn into a flicker fest.
For sure, on the walls instead of the ceiling, they have remotes also... not that it's needed.
Came to say the same. They can be held in place with push pins. I built a sofit with strip lights under each side of my mother's front porch. They work brilliantly. Pun intended.
I bet when all these boards are cut in the fore deck you will be so happy to get this part of the boat all vacuumed and clean of wood shavings. You guys rock!!!!
True except they are British so they will Hoover instead.
@@slimjim3229 🙂
If we're just talking temporary lighting until you get an idea of cabin design, think about this... You now have white ceilings, think about temporary 24v lights on the hull pointed up to bounce light off the ceiling. You could even put a little shroud around them to concentrate the light.
good idea, I'm suggesting LED strips - low power...
LED sticky Strip lights on your wall frames. Easy on, easy off and you can reuse them at different places of the boat once you get your permanent lighting sorted.
I'll second that motion.
I'm thirding - start with cheap as chips to test it them move to quality ones if happy
Good work you two. I think what you are doing is probably better than what was there when the ship was new. You should be proud.
Don’t worry about the negative Nellys guys, I have been a loyal follower since your first episode, and look forward to every new video! The work you have done and still do is absolutely amazing! Well done and don’t forget to make time for your family because the love you guys have for each other is what makes your channel the success that it is! Much love from across the pond. A fan in Kentucky
best boating couple on youtube period. love watching you build your dreams one £2 copper nail at a time, I'll be watching your channel long after you finish this build. love you guys you're an inspiration to all that watch.
Lighting solution = uplighters. Attach to walls with clamps and move when / if needed. The white surface will reflect a gorgeous and practical light across the beams too.
Love seeing your progress 😁
Thank you!! 😊
For the lights, since you want to highlight the beams, do up-lights (from the deck, or lower rail or somewhere) along the side of the boat (outside perimeter of the room). With the white ceilings, it should be plenty. It will also create some dramatic ambiance.
Command strips you can hang all kinds of stuff. Hang temporary wiring up and easy to remove. Yall are amazing!!!
For attaching the lighting, have you looked at 3M Command Strips? They sick to the surface but release without leaving residue. They work great. Other options include lights strung along the beam shelf and uplights a little further down that illuminate the overhead from below. That white overhead should do a good job of reflecting and diffusing light from below.
I'd second the 3M Command Strips for whatever lights you choose. Remarkably strong, and come off completely cleanly when you're finished with them.
I'm glad you got your sack emptied lol. Regarding your light situation you could fix your original lights to some small bits of plastic tube then thred them on to a string line. Wire them up then they are able to slide too.
Led strip lights for caravan awnings would be the way to go. Run them off a 12-240v adapter and they're light enough to be able to velcro them onto the beams.
I have to say I have never seen a wife like yours Simon. She is a one in a million that’s for sure. As for your lighting below deck get round led lights where you can use a lot throughout the boat that will give you lots of light and use very little power to turn them on. You can even use strips of led lights all along the top of the wall and do the same thing.
Thanks for dedicating yourselves to keeping history alive!
WOW, crisp video, clear,succinct audio! You should give yourselves a great shoutout from when you started.
I can not believe how hard you work to obtain materials for this project.
I do not know tax laws where you are, but I hope you get some return for your work to restore a piece of history.
Thx for bringing us along! 😊😊😊
John Ken
about 20 minutes into this weeks video, my wife comes in and says "What, you don't make enough annoying power tool noises out in your shop all week?!?" I just about fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 The progress is really starting to become more visible as opposed to integral, so you get to see the rewards of your hard work a bit more. Very satisfying part of any project, and a great motivator when you get to the aft sections. Keep up the good work.
What a lovely load of Deckheads ! Looking really good.
Come on people's thumbs up, every little counts.
It’s a wonderful Friday when a new Ship Happens video is posted! 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻
For worklights: run a build site rope light in a big loop around the perimeter of the room.
Use a temporary beam from side to side and temporarily screw the light to that.Very impressed with how it’s all turning out.
A few videos back you asked about how to avoid air bubbles under the glass. One of the things I do is apply a skim coat of epoxy on the wood, and let it go off. Then give it a quick scrap to knock off any bubbles and junk. While the epoxy is still green, apply another goat of epoxy than the glass, work it in with the bubble roller, and then add more epoxy on top and work it in again. My experience that style glass is a lot harder to work out the air than eglass.
I always look forwards to your weekly videos. Good luck
to fix lightweight lights to the underside of the deck = cut a timber batten / noggin and jamp in between the deck beams - no fixings just cut slightly longer than the opening
when complete knock the noggins out leaving no marks or fixing holes
You're like a well oiled machine when you are working together :-)
Lights, 24v is the way to go.
Few options for temporary setup. Make up some temporary wire harnesses. Concept wise do something like what is used for outdoor low voltage lighting. You can easily add subtract lights as you need to move them. Just use a 12 gauge wire for any longer or main runs. Clamp the wires to existing structure, using binder clips, spring clamps, or run the wires through existing holes. 3M has command hooks that are for clipping up desk wiring.
Lights, few options, take a few spring clamps and drill a hole in one end and bolt the light fixture to the spring clamp. Easy to move around. More permanent solution, is 3M Command strips. Easy and clean to remove. But the strip is dead once used.
Good Luck, I know the two of you will find a great solution.
Sarinda is getting water proof, it also looks great looking at the deckhead with the shining beams.
You should put LED lighting along the outer edges. You can fasten it right to the outer boards above the port windows and hide it, and it’ll reflect up into the ceiling quite nicely you’re really really smart.
LEDs are nice, but can be a pain to record video with.
if your fitting an 8x4 sheet it just shows you how big that boat really is, nice one, and thanks for the content.
I wish my wife had the skills Jemma has. Simon care to “Lease” her out. Lol. I see you have a AURORA t shirt on. Have they raised it yet. On your ship I love the ceiling inside how it turned out. GREAT WORK GUYS. CHEERS
It’s paint the boat time 😂, Good job from the. USA.
The deck looks fantastic from inside the room. The white boards and the deck beams go really well together.
Can’t wait to see how you will tackle the deck beams under the wheelhouse. I think you need to detach the wheelhouse, then slide it back, do the deck and then slide it back where it was. lol. (If only it was that easy!). Dave Birmingham.
Guys, as usual, amazing episode. Unbelievable hard work and it looks amazing. What amazes me most about you two, is that , although you are both feeling unwell, you still continue to do this and don’t take any shortcuts. This will payoff big time and well worth the effort 👍👍
Get well soon, respect 👍👍❤️❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪
Here are a couple of suggestions for temporary non permanently attached lighting depending on what you think would work best:
1. old fashioned inexpensive 8.5 inch wide aluminium reflector clamp lights (e27 bulb socket). Search for "8.5 inch aluminium clamp lamp" on the chinese selling site that starts with ali for an example. These can be simply clamped onto the beams, or the frames where needed. You could run 240v ac to them and use led bulbs, or buy e27 12v or 24v led bulbs and feed power to them that way. The thing I like about these is the clamps can open pretty wide -- probably wide enough to put on your beams, and the rubber covering should protect whatever they are clamped to. The clamps have a ball swivel that allows the socket and 8.5 inch wide aluminium reflector to be pointed wherever you want.
2. You could hang some led strip lights on the frames. These can be fed wth 12v or 24v dc power and moved as needed. You could mount strips on 8 foot 1x2s and clamp the 1x2s to the frames.
I hope these ideas are helpful.
Cheers from Oregon, USA

If you use hot glue to fix temporary lights you can always easily remove it with Ethanol.
Fill Syringe with cannula and put some drops between glue and the material and you can peel it off easily.
Cheers

One of the best channels on You Tube. Don't forget, as you lay down parts that aren't likely to see daylight ever again to scribe some messages and leave your mark for future generations. Even if it is a simple "Gemma & Simon woz ere" and the date!
LAMPS: You could use strong magnet on top of the deck and steel plate under deck that has screwed lamp to. Wires could be running on web frames :)
Hi:
I am a follower of your channel and I must say that you are just one of a kind.Good workers and very kind to each other on a lovely way.
Take care of eachother.
Greetings from Sweden
Absolutely amazing i have been hear from the start watching every week nd every time you have done fantastic work
My suggestion for ambient lighting in the forward cabin is building a custom fixture (shade) that fits close to tight between two beams. Install a high power led lamp inside the shade, mount it between the beams so that the light washes across the ceiling and reflects downward. Indirect lighting of this sort will show off your ceiling and beams and it should also guarantee that there are no shadows. If you have a specific task area - like a workbench - install a lamp on an adjustable arm that mounts to the workbench and plugs into an outlet or power strip. You should be able to sun several circuits so that a portion of the space is lit or all of it depending on need and future buildout. I imagine you could run the cable along the top stringer so it would be invisible.
i imagine these shades would be made from brake and roll formed aluminum with welded on end caps, a polished/reflective/mirror interior surface and the outside painted the color of your choice. This is a design you definitely have the skills to execute.
The second convenience/functional electrical run is plug in wall outlets spaced closer than normal residential spacing. This way, if you decide to partition the space, as long as you line up with a deck beam, the electricals are done.
There is no reason why this scheme would not work throughout the entire lower deck - with the exception of supplemental overheads in the engine room. But concealing overhead wiring is not as important in a utility space like the engine room. This could be a "Once and Done" plan. 😊
All the best my friends ♥
For the lighting use a clamp to attach a piece of wood to the beam, then attach the light to the piece of wood. When you're done remove the clamp and it's like it never even happened.
For temporary lighting, just buy a festoon set of LED lamps and cable tie on the web frames down each side.
Once the final layout is known, you can plan your permanent lighting.
I am so impressed with the commitment you both put in to a boat that many wouldn't even entertain. This is going to be a beutiful vessel that will give you such pleasure knowing that it was built with love. This might seem cheesy but whoever passes negative comments about the work you are doing is only possible because you love the boat and the history that comes with it. I am happy to support your efforts in any way I can. Continued best wishes and stay safe J.
IT may seem unfair for Simon to not be allowed to use the glue at this stage, but Gemma is far superior at applying it in a cleaner manner. You each have your strengths which has been producing quality work. You both rock!
No glue for Simon😂
They make an excellent team.
Lights: make a U shape wooden trough, fix you light on that and use some strong clamps to hold the section to a beam - strong, mpvable and non-invasive of structure.
I love watching you two bring that treasure back to life. Sail/ power to australia on day. West Australia.
Having started watching from the beginning of your adventure I can definitely say I am totally exhausted by now lol. You two are just amazing . I wish I had a fraction of your energy.
Have you considered saving the copper nail tips and submitting them to manufacturer as a sort of core charge credit for additional purchases? No, seriously!
Love your work!
Been following the channel for few years ! I live in MO... Please bring Sarinda up the Mississippi ! hahaha Would be Epic ! Live Free "Brits"
You can try clamping (non marring clamps) to each end of the beam port and starboard and use unistrut across the width of the boat then mount whatever you like. No matter what you do you’ll be rewiring anyway, with unistruts across from side to side you can hang brighter 12V and a few 240 in select spots….or some variation of that maybe? Good luck, been watching u since the beginning and don’t miss an episode! 😅
Options you can use for the lights are pressure mount or Velcro straps or patches. My 2 cents. You people are one good example of keeping it together. God Bless
For temporary lighting in that area. Surely something low voltage, high output would fit the bill. Maybe a baton along the new beams, front-to back- of the boat, held in place with upright supports, free standing, would eliminate the need for screws into the new beams. LED strips run from the gen, could be worth a try.
The new beams look beautiful in the sunlight, probably the last time they will ever be seen in this way too.
Then, to see them with the new deck in place is equally as beautiful.
The cost of those copper nails is quite a sobering revelation. Your continuing determination is inspirational.
My Friday fix, delivered on time as usual. Noticed that you are both "under the weather", nautical term for "feeling sick". Thanking you both, and, all of your supporters for this latest episode. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Progress on Sarinda is a credit to you all.
Festoon lighting move where you like, builders use all the time. You’re doing a great job keep going love from bude Cornwall
One solution for the lights is expanding rods, like the ones on shower curtain rails with plastic clamps holding the light to the pole.
Retired sparky here. I agree with the many about a temporary lighting setup. Those 24V LEDs will need only thin old wire (You can work out the size on Google). You could hang one next to each pothole and the hull angle will illuminate the white ceilings for now. As for the final solution, maybe some low profile flat panel LEDs on the ceiling. If you take them off their frames, I think you could actually curve them to fit the deck curve?
Gemma, i have been a supporter sice you first bought the boat and enjoy visiting you and Simon weekly. i watch a content provider that does art restoration. He does two versions of some projects. One with all of the talking and interaction, the other edited with just the actual work, parts done at fast speed. No talking, just music and work. I was thinking that if you made a condensed edit each week, it would make fast work of a year-in-30 minute video easier to compile, and also provide a quick 10-15 minute video for folks that don’t have the time to watch the whole thing. Just a thought, caused you know being a mom and wife running two channels rebuilding a boat, learning to fish, and dealing with fans just isn’t enough for one woman!!!
Thursday Aldi are doing 10m led strip lights for £8.99. I'm using them to light a boat shelter and they are brilliant !
Boat is going well you got better weather than us too.
It might sound too easy...The light problem...A long batton diagonally from one side to the other, just under the "lubbly beams" with LED ceiling light fitted every couple of feet, on the up side of the batton, shining onto the white boards to reduce glare to your eyes and shadows. The ends pinned into the ribs at either end or just lashed to a nail in the ribs. Both the batton and the LED lights could be used in other parts of the boat - but will give bright temporary lighting for the Winter nights. You could alternatively also use 12v strip LED's on top of the battons and again reuse for concealed decoration in the finished boat.
BEFORE you do too much under the bridge....get a couple of arco props for safety, Gemma's head is needed later during the reconstruction work!! She is literally such a GEM!! Bless you both!! John
I admire your inventiveness in making specialty tools. By the end of this project you will be master ship builders.
Top notch. Rest and take care. A few hot toddies, with lemon and honey.
How about using indirect lighting: mount fixtures in troughs on the hull, facing up rather than down, illuminating the white painted ceiling. That would make the wiring invisible so you wouldn't have to swap batteries all the time.
Hello fellow boaters, regarding the lighting I would try clamp lights at the sides aimed up and reflect off that beautiful ceiling. ? I've used urethane sealant / adhesive for years. The downside is that to pull it apart you'll delaminate the wood. So don't make mistakes!😮 Great job on a huge project! We're Great Lakes sailors out of Sheboygan Wisconsin.
The beams with the white decks look fantastic!!
I have used 24 volt stick on white rope lights for spaces like yours. They really help show off the dark corners. This with other stick on lights would help “brighten” your days!!
Great work you two!!!
Love the progress she is looking good
Great work and enjoyable to watch. Hope you protect your hearing more.
Hi Guys, Watching you cut deck plywood made me think that you might really enjoy a track saw.
Great content. I look forward to these videos.
Absolutely love watching this couple and they way the work together
I don't even own a boat but hooked on watching this, can't wait to see it all finished
Gemma is a star
I hope you are over your colds. Your perseverance is admirable.
Just wonderful! You should be so proud of yourselves - justifiably!
24 volt lights, fitted to plywood as you have shown. Hot glue a couple of magnets to the top of the ply and stick them on the knees 😊
You guys are awesome. You are the turtles winning the race.
for your light issues, they used to make, and probably still do some lights that have a big metal reflector and on the back side, they have a spring clamp that you could probably clamp on a beam. Amazon has them, they call them Clamp Lamps.
Regarding light: there are these completely removable double sided tape strips. The Tesa brand is called power strips
As a sailor, I'm delighted you've decided to convert Sarinda to a sailboat😂
Gemma and Simon what you have done so far is awesome, best wishes from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
You asked us what you would do for lights. Have you thought about using your leds on the side of the boat. That way you could use them either way. Like as up lighters, down lighters. That way you can run the wires behind until you start working on that job. Plus like you said the leds are 24 volts so don’t use a lot of power. Plus keep up the great work. I’ve been watching from the start. Been waiting for this as much as you both have and it’s absolutely amazing. Well done. Look forward to seeing more.
i was thinking you was mad take that boat on, but must say what you have done is outstanding work
You guys are making such a fabulous job of bringing this boat back to life ❤️
It can hear the echo better than you can. Beautiful deck!
you two really do complement each other and work so well as a team!
I wish you every success as this project evolves to become a lifelong shared memory
best wishes and thanks for sharing :)
Great work guys, Lights : how about trying some solar powered security lights, only put them inside on the floor facing up and the solar panel that comes with them outside in the sun, I have some that came with quite a long cable on the solar panel, face them up for good reflective properties on your now white-ish ceiling, all the best, Al
The Lighting Question.... flood lights on the walls, angled to flood both the roof and the wall. Cheers guys, stunning work as always.
Up lighters fitted to the bulkheads highlighting your amazing deck beams , also running cables around the bulkhead can be hidden if your going to line them wood panelling , great work x
Looking great, guys!!!
I knew when you started to fit out the interior, it would look great.
Those beams look awesome with the painted white ceiling.
It's nice to see the boat improve every week ,getting more stronger and water proof.
Like the banter you give each other,it adds for great viewing keep up the great work..,😊
You can use magnets with screw-holes for the lamps. Just fasten the lamps to a piece of wood/plywood, screw on a couple of magnets and place them on the knees.
?What are you guys putting in your tea. First Simon with the router then the two of you together. Installing the packers .I've never seen anyone working so fast. 😉😅
You're so close to getting this part of the deck finished. Im no electrician, but the mist be some lights that you can get that will reflect off the white roof. This will illuminate the room more, and you want to need as many. Brilliant as always. Have a good weekend. However, many weeks you are in front of us😂
I have been seeing some episodes from 3 years ago when you were just starting to remove the crap from this area of the boat.
What a dramatic change you have made.
Keep up the work and your love for each other.
Hi you both; bounced lighting is the key here; simply fix lights to the interior sides of the boat pointed to your new white ceilings. Stick cardboard/anything in front of the lights to avoid the light in your eyes. Bingo; soft light without attaching to the roof beams etc. PS; love your work!............Rob XX
I have an idea about the lighting-issues, I have tried out a couple of things while working on my house. I normally have a light on a piece of wood, that I can clamp onto something with a C-clamp (that also allows you to experiment with the placement of your lights). And if you put a piece of cloth between the shiny beam and your clamp, you could screw a 90 degree bracket onto your plate that has the light on it and just clamp it up. Maybe also experiment with lights that mount roughly in the place of your portholes and shine towards the white ceiling. They also sell desklamps with a plastic clamp on them by the way.
Really enjoy to watch you two working together. So down to earth both of you, no bullshit and no hiding how hard your work in reallity is!
For lighting down under, I would choose HUE led light strips solo (new model), and fasten then with either doublesided tape er small screw holders. These can be bought in 3, 5 and 10 meters and they can be shortend.
