The epoxy 🤔 reminded me of a naughty rhyme about the good ship Venus. You need that left hand seeing to, looks so pale it could be Raynaurds Disease. 😄 A tip for shaping a pencil for marking I got from a Canadian boat builder. You get a HB5 pencil and sharpen in the normal way. You then introduce it to your block plane and plane it down till you have a flat side. You can get in flat against an edge and around coach bolt heads reducing measurement error. I had about two dozen of those carpenter pencils. All gone in the bin now. There's another Canadian has great tutorial s on sharpening chisels and plane irons. Rob Cosman, has a channel on the tube. He's fairly anal about it he admits. I sharpened all the new chisels I bought this year and F me they are sharp. I keep some paper stitches close by. Once you set them up sharp its easy to keep them sharp. And with the hard wood your using sharp is good. Keep going , Ive been told summer is on the way.
Your epoxy resin is crystallising due to the cold. It can easily be reconstituted by warming up the can. Put the can next to a heater, place it in a pot of boiled water, or at a pinch, carefully warm up the can with your heat gun. It will return to a clear liquid state. Then, try to store it in a warm place. Keep up the good work!
Have you got an angle grinder? I think you could have cut / ground the head off those large rivets, then punched them back out in the same way that you did after drilling. I suspect that this would have been faster.
@@phy7dop Yes I think the grinder was the first tool I tried over on the starboard side but it didn't work well on the flared head. The rivets widen through the full thickness of the knees so you have to take off a good 5/8 of an inch from the rivet's length to free it sufficiently
@@optimist3580 Scuttle, noun; a small hole in the side or bottom of a ship fitted with a covering or glazed. I think I've picked up the Americanised version since scupper and scuttle are so interchangeable in everyday use 😅. Bah, I won't lose sleep over it but thanks for the note 👍
Ive got to hand it to you, well done for working in extreme weather conditions. if you need a hand dont call me. well done, carry on. by the way, i like your cheat of putting "outside" on the plank, i find i need to do the same on my underwear
I like the liberal use of the Anglo Saxon swear words - Dowager must have heard plenty of them over the many decades of her existence - seems fitting to me that she hears them now as she is resurrected from her grave.
Loving the content. The skill in changing your hand size is to be commend

@@crelark totally right - I took it home and warmed it up a little. I'm also replacing the lid on the can whenever it's stored for longer periods 👍
One plank replaced, move on to the next one, soon be back afloat......!

It’s not a “scuttle” scuttles are used for keeping coal in. It’s called a scupper😉

Pesky Americanism’s ruining our wonderful language, best keep it in the scupper till it’s sober😂

Where is your Amazon wish list? I'm in the US, retired and on a pension, but would like to help. Others might want to help as well.
