UPDATE: My apologizes to my metric viewers. My conversions are way off. I unfortunately converted feet to metric instead of inches. ⁷⁄₁₆ " = 11.11mm ³⁄₈" = 9.525 mm 1" = 25.4 mm 1⁵⁄₈" = 41.275 5" = 127mm 6" = 152.4 So sorry for the confusion. That will teach me not to add captions to video late at night in a rush to get the video out.😴 It is my intention to provide some context of measurement to my metric friends. I hope that many of you find it useful, especially when I look at the correct chart. Thanks for watching! Bob
I understand being a Metric user from Down under, converting into olde world units. Your joinery and general craftsmanship are exceptional, so a little calculation error in Video post is understandable and helps are see you are still mortal... Thanks for the videos, they're brilliant!
Bob, If I ever came back to this life with a second go around,, I would want to be your apprentice. As a craftsman, I strive to do work as finite and "beautiful" as you show us how it should be done. I just did not have the marine industry as my field. You are a consumate craftsman with all facets of the boat building covered. And you do it beautifully. What a teacher you are for us all. Bravo
Now if you had a fully equipped machine shop next door with a milling machine, metal lathe and surface grinder.......Oh well I guess there are limits. Thanks for the beautiful videos.
As a wooden boatbuilder those bronze castings are something I would never attempt. For starters I don't have the proper equipment, nor to be honest the patience necessary to do a good job. Maybe some day I might give it a try but no promises!
A new voice! Beautiful bronze. A reminder that it’s not over until it’s over. And that rivet (which I think went) through both bow chocks and the stem - difficult made to look easy.
Hey Bob. Always love your casting and hardware episodes. Such artful pieces!! Good to see your screw heads are aligned vertically! Such a perfectionist. LOL
Unfortunately not. Sanding PLA results in a rougher surface. Some have ask about a filler. The filler must burn out. So wax is a logical choice. Unfortunately it the leaves a less than desirable surface. In the end the bronze still need the be finished so save the time and invest in the mold as it. That’s for the good questions! Cheers, Bob
Great video. What is that small, rotary sander, you used for the small, inside parts? Is it just a two inch flap sander disk on a drill? Something like that would work nicely on my restoration project.

Thanks Michael, I do enjoy my space each and everyday! Fairleads and chocks are terms that are regularly misused even by experienced boaters. A fairlead is a device to guide working lines with fixed rollers around other objects onboard. A chock is designed to keep lines from moving laterally when fixed to a cleat. This is what ties your boat to the dock or mooring. Great question, thanks for watching! Bob
As an Ollddd time illustrator draftsman, (yes, layout pencil, pen and ink) we were taught to never scale from the drawing. Always use true measurements. And we did use ft▪︎inch •eights. Old school - what's CAD?
Thanks Bob, I've been waiting for this episode. I was sure you had some good "tricks" to shortcut the grinding/polishing process. I must have missed them??? Anyway, how does one keep all that Bronze looking good? Perhaps an enthusiastic 10 year old? appreciate your work, Glenn
I am not a boat builder, so this may be a dumb question. For the combing clips, are the often removed? I only ask because, to me, they would have looked better where the machine screws came through, if the inboard side was slightly chamfered, than then the ends of the screws peened over before sanding them flush. They would all but disappear. I only ask because i see the great care you give to your craft - I started watching because of Arabella - fantastic job on Victoria and entertaining to watch the build - so I assume this may be something that would need to come apart from time to time?
I’m not sure. I’ve had it for many years. I believe it came from a big box store. Not the best machine. I plan on replacing with a machine that has dust collection made of metal.
Bob, is there a plug of some sort that fits in the boom crutch socket to prevent water or dirt or other foreign material from accumulating in the hole while not being used for it's primary purpose?
The socket is open on the bottom. The only time the socket is empty is while sailing. If moisture get in it will end in the bilge. The crutch will always be in when at a mooring or dock. Thanks for watching.
Think the captions need a little work in terms of the metric / imperial conversions. Unless you're trying to troll those of us on the other side of the pond? 😂
Last year I was ask to design and build a tender for Steve Denette, of the TH-cam Channel "Acorn to Arabella". This was an exciting collaboration between our 2 channels. I, mistakenly, thought I could finish the Haven while building the tender. Arabella and the tender, Victoria, where launched in June 2023. I am now back at finishing up the Haven looking at a launch date in the next sailing season. Thanks for watching! Bob

Just divide it by 12

All good, but I was wondering how you’d arrived at those conversions!
Wow, what a transformation of those bronze pieces. It was also a pleasant surprise to hear a new narrator to start the video
“Late night nerding out on boat plans “ 😂
Truly, that expression speaks to me as the Art of being Bob Emser.
Imperial measurements are just fine Bob. the are still some of us old timers who just never got the hang of using metric measurement.🙂👍

Beautiful castings and install on the boat. She is coming right along and can't wait to see her under sail.
Me too
Always lifting the word perfectionism to a higher level!
Wow, thank you!
Is there anything more beautiful than polished bronze? Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Those bronze finishings really gives the boat a finishing touch like no other. Great job as always Bob. cheers.
I refer to those bronze castings as being the 'jewelry' for the 12 1/2 boat.
Now if you had a fully equipped machine shop next door with a milling machine, metal lathe and surface grinder.......Oh well I guess there are limits. Thanks for the beautiful videos.
A milling machine would be nice. Maybe one day.
Thanks for watching!
Amazing amount of work to turn the castings into things of beauty.
As a wooden boatbuilder those bronze castings are something I would never attempt. For starters I don't have the proper equipment, nor to be honest the patience necessary to do a good job. Maybe some day I might give it a try but no promises!
Beautiful craftsmanship as always.
As always….perfectly beautiful.
As always you have made it beautiful again Bob. Very nice work. Thank you for sharing the completion of the Haven build.
As always, excellent work. Congratulations
Thank you for posting Bob, you have an amazing attention for detail, your Boat is a artistic creation of beauty.
A new voice! Beautiful bronze. A reminder that it’s not over until it’s over. And that rivet (which I think went) through both bow chocks and the stem - difficult made to look easy.
Thanks, you are correct one rivet goes through both chocks and the stem.
Thanks for watching!
Hey Bob. Always love your casting and hardware episodes. Such artful pieces!! Good to see your screw heads are aligned vertically! Such a perfectionist. LOL
amazing as always! 🦊
Thanks again Bob
Great work Bob. Elegant and beautiful. Thanks
I like your saying “if you’re gonna make it, make it good”. It’s my policy as well. It causes me problems sometimes when it’s outside my abilities.
amazing as always! 🙌
Super awesome work again.
Outstanding work.👍
Beautiful!
Awesome Job Bob...I've been watching diligently...one day I'll join one of your classes, keep up the good work.
Nice job, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Magnífico.
Hi Bob, you should say what types of tools you use for the metal polishing when you're using them.
Thanks for the suggestion. Plenty more bronze to finish. I’ll mention them then.
Thanks for watching!
Bob
I love how you pay attention to the orientation of the screw slots. Only a true craftsman does that and that you are!
Hi Bob, on the bow Bow chocks, Is there a reason you don't bed with dolphinite on the vertical surface of the bowsprit also?
5:43 7/16" is about 11mm. 133mm is closer to 5 1/2".
What was the thinking of not sanding the 3D parts before casting them? Would that have produced a smoother bronze part?
Unfortunately not. Sanding PLA results in a rougher surface. Some have ask about a filler. The filler must burn out. So wax is a logical choice. Unfortunately it the leaves a less than desirable surface. In the end the bronze still need the be finished so save the time and invest in the mold as it.
That’s for the good questions!
Cheers,
Bob
Great video. What is that small, rotary sander, you used for the small, inside parts? Is it just a two inch flap sander disk on a drill? Something like that would work nicely on my restoration project.
That is a Dremel tool. The attachment I was using is a Dremel 502 3/8" Flapwheel Sander, 80 Grit.
Happy sanding!
Bob
Oh to have access to a workshop like Bob's. When did fairleads get called chocks?
If Captain Nat and Joel White refer to them as bow chocks, that’s good enough for me.
Especially since a chock is something to prevent something moving... US parlance I guess.

As an Ollddd time illustrator draftsman, (yes, layout pencil, pen and ink) we were taught to never scale from the drawing. Always use true measurements. And we did use ft▪︎inch •eights. Old school - what's CAD?
Why no Dolfinite under the coaming clips, Bob?
Not needed. Bedding is generally used when penetrating the hull or deck.
Thanks Bob, I've been waiting for this episode. I was sure you had some good "tricks" to shortcut the grinding/polishing process. I must have missed them??? Anyway, how does one keep all that Bronze looking good? Perhaps an enthusiastic 10 year old?
appreciate your work, Glenn
On boats, one either has ensigns to polish it, or one let's the bronze naturally patina.
I am not a boat builder, so this may be a dumb question. For the combing clips, are the often removed? I only ask because, to me, they would have looked better where the machine screws came through, if the inboard side was slightly chamfered, than then the ends of the screws peened over before sanding them flush. They would all but disappear. I only ask because i see the great care you give to your craft - I started watching because of Arabella - fantastic job on Victoria and entertaining to watch the build - so I assume this may be something that would need to come apart from time to time?
Yes, they can be removed. Makes re-varnishing easier.
What brand belt/disc sander brand is that, please?
I’m not sure. I’ve had it for many years. I believe it came from a big box store.
Not the best machine. I plan on replacing with a machine that has dust collection made of metal.
Make me an offer I can't refuse. Dayton, Oh.
Hi, Bob, your conversion to metric is a bit off. 1"x 1 5/8" would be closer to 25.4mm x 41.3mm. Other than that, a cracking episode, as usual.
Bob, is there a plug of some sort that fits in the boom crutch socket to prevent water or dirt or other foreign material from accumulating in the hole while not being used for it's primary purpose?
Pretty sure the hole went all the way through.
@@dolvaranIt did. But for most of the time it is plugged with the boom crutch,
The hole didn't go all the way through.@@dolvaran
The socket is open on the bottom. The only time the socket is empty is while sailing. If moisture get in it will end in the bilge. The crutch will always be in when at a mooring or dock.
Thanks for watching.
My apologies to those people I might have offended in my insistence that there was no hole. I sure didn't see the hole.
Think the captions need a little work in terms of the metric / imperial conversions. Unless you're trying to troll those of us on the other side of the pond? 😂
You got your metric conversion a little wrong there ;)

Sorry,but 500 mm are 0,5 meter.😊
