As a restorer myself of a wooden boat, I am always amazed how many ways there there are of tackling any task. This wealth of experience is what makes TH-cam so great! Thanks to all the contributors!
As someone who's thinking about maybe restoring a boat one day, watching a man of your experience at work is an education. Thanks so much for documenting what you're doing.
Please do not think what you are doing is boring. Please continue with recording even if you think no one is watching we are. So cool to learn about old school maintenance of these beautiful boats and their stories. I can nearly smell the sanding of the wood and feel the smoothness of your work. 👍🏾🤘🏾very much appreciated. 👊🏾 😊
I follow a few wooden boat channels. I quite look forward to posts from this one. Perhaps what I appreciate most is that the focus is on the boat and not the channel. I welcome the goal of good quality without spending hundreds of thousands on the most precious materials and a crew of 20. Well done, keep them coming, and thanks.
Hello from Cleveland Ohio USA on the Great Lakes. As an admirer of wooden boats your channel caught my attention. This is the first episode I watched but now I’m binge watching from the first to get the entire story. You definitely have an eye for boats. You saw Jabiru as she could be, not as it was. I enjoy your seeing work progress.
Hi Phil, I too have just kicked of the resto of a 1932 huon pine 20ft work boat. So hats off to you for documenting your labour of love, its very inspiring and helpful content to me. Having just found your channel it is perfect timing for my project as I am still setting up and stripping paint. Mine is a batten seam construction and was thinking about recalking the seams but I think you have convinced me to spile and glass sheath as it will live most of its life on a trailer. We’ll done again and looking forward to learning more from you.
Love the smell of Huon Pine. You'll probably have other timber inside as well as the Huon, so make sure it is covered after you glass it to keep out that fresh rainwater. Have fun.
Thank you for making these videos, I have already learned a lot of things that i wanted to know about restoring an old wooden boat. Good luck to you and the project.
Hi, just come across your channel/Video, really enjoy watching people you up I’ll boats. Keep up the good work I’ve just subscribed. Hopefully we get a lot of enjoyment out of watching you working your butt off restoring this boat , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺, from the big island 🏝️
Thank you so much. I love how wooden planked boats are built traditionally and how forgiving it is for repair and replacement that a skillful shipwright like your goodself can achieve. Enjoyed watching the way things are done as of old.
I have an opportunity to take on a carvel boat from 1938, that has seen better days. I was thinking of doing much the same thing, splining and then a glass-epoxy sheath. I understand this horrifies a lot of old school people who believe it will be the kiss of death for this boat, but those same people have watched it deteriate over the last decade and done nothing. Its a lot of work on an 8 ton boat.
Glad to see you, Sir I have missed watching your amazing skills. You’re doing such a great job. Thank you for sharing. Can’t wait till your next one comes out. Keep up the outstanding videos and content, I see that more people are enjoying it as well. Texas
I haven't heard of Irish Pine. Is that similar to Douglas Fir? In Australia DF is known as Oregon Pine and was used for many years in house frames and boat building as well as anything else made from timber.
He said he is going to fibreglass the bottom. If its done right, it wont get wet enough for the expansion to be a problem. Plenty of hulls like this have been epoxy glassed succesfully.....and a few not.
Nice job on the seams. The planking looks a lot like Douglas fir ,or as you call it Oregon pine ,is that true? Hope you have more time to work on it soon . Looks great!,
Yes. It is Douglas Fir (known as Oregon in Australia). It can't be found as clear as this any more and certainly impossible to find quarter sawn planks like these either. I'm doing my best to keep it all original just for the quality of the timber.

Thanks, I could watch traditional woodworking skills all day long (marine that is).

Whereabouts are you? I'd love to see some photos or videos if you are going that way.
@@revivingjabiru7588 I drop you an email!
What joy to see true craftsman doing a cracking job 👍👍👍
You are doing a great job. The boat and the videos.
Always great to watch and learn, about old wooden boat restora
Most informative
Glad to see you, Sir

Well done Phil, great job mate, that's the best way of doing things, just picking away at it bit by bit mate thanks for the update. Seeya Rob
Great work Phil, thats a lot of graft there never mind the torture board. She's coming along nicely.
Thanks for what you do. It's a very interesting project, and I look forward to more.
All this carry on is exactly why I’m buying a old stabicraft.
one i like watching and aussie,lots of elbow grease used ,look forward to your next video,try and find Irish pine like that today impossible ,

Get a Bondo Hog for fairing the top layers in 80 grit, it will go fast.
That finger joint in the top plank makes me wonder.
I presume you aren't going to spline below the waterline. Those planks up top will swell and warp if they get very wet, I would have thought.

Air drive body file works well in this situation.
That will give it a striking appearance. Is the fibreglass going to be clear to show it ?
Not clear. Probably white or cream topsides.
What species bird calling @ 9:50?
It's a crow. I'll post a photo or a short clip in the next episode.
@@revivingjabiru7588 I love their sound, thanks!
Please post more videos
Wouldn't a reefing hook remove that caulking faster
The putty was rock hard.
Fibreglass? Wouldn’t that shorten its life?
No. Glass and epoxy will keep the water out of the timber and it will go for another 80 years. Nothing worse than a wet musty smelling old boat.
Yes.
It’ll kill it.
EAR PROTECTION !!!!!!
Eh!! What did you say?
