You should do an episode where you talk about what is left to do on the boat. It would be interesting to know what projects need to be done in the future. Maybe some kind of (very) rough timeline. Love all of your videos by the way.
That would be a big help to anyone planning on a trip to Tulsa to help. Could schedule their trip to match up with whatever project fits their skill set.
Was a very productive weekend, as always, the crews addition grows and grows, comments from viewers continue with positive comments and feelings, thoughts and ideas. Never enough thanks given but be assured there all taken for what there worth. Thanks all for your feedback and such, means tons !
Doug, I did the same thing once with a wire wheel on a grinder. wind blew my t-shirt and the wire wheel caught it and started wrapping it up. Once it was up near my shoulder it had enough and tripped the breaker. Had a bit of road rash but nothing serious. Lesson learned! Tuck in the T-shirt!
Thanks for continuing to share SV Seeker's real life events Doug, warts and all. As a lad I was told 'never turn your back on a bull.' Maybe I'll add 'or an angle grinder cup-brush' to that advice.
thanks for not quitting..!!.it as been really refreshing watching you.. .i started watching you and knowing little about welding an metal works, now i am getting good at it..it´s really inspiring... i studied to be a civil engineer but the crisis made me change job... now i am an industrial mechanic....you have helped me a lot through your videos...thanks from Portugal...
Not sure if you realized, but Eric earned a CIB (Combat Infantry Badge). Its the badge above his ribbons. Congrats! And thank you brothers and sisters in Arms, Hooah!
Hi, And what a great little team you have on this very technically difficult flooring process, not to forget the CNC programming and all the little details. A superb video thank you.
As a guy that does work in both exciting, skillful environments and also in a less skilled warehouse, I wish to express that there are definately TWO types of work: the work you do for money, and the work you do in order to enjoy and get the best out of life. Recently i have had the revaluation that I LOVE learning stuff. Anything. It doesn't matter. And I LOVE working for non-commercial, artisan business's
My dad had a 9" grinder kick back on him while working on his 40ft steamboat project. Chipped his ocular socket. Have quite the picture of it! Luckily the grinder head hit him instead of the wheel! Gotta pay to play! I've had my fair share of chainsaw bites, etc... Keep up the good work!
Hi, Sparky from the UK. The plug and sockets you mentioned are what we generally use on site when using 110v tools and equipment. If you google, "110v Plug Socket UK" you'll see some images of what wwe use. The socket connector usually has a flip up sprung cap, that when connected to the plug end, has a catch lip on the cap that fits over a lip on the plug. This stops the connection pulling apart when lengths of cable/tools are joined and dragged around the place.
The only one that knew you were in distress was the dog . Those wire wheels are NO JOKE MUST RESPECT THEM . I am glad you are good to go again A mere mortal would have went home . great job .
Doug you're so lucky with that grinder...same thing happened to me it whipped out of my hand dropped onto the floor still going.. was wearing flip flops at the time,,missed me,,so I would say" hooray for luck" love what you're doing,,
@svseeker All work site corded tools come with the 110 yellow plug. Here in the UK all sockets are 240v so a transformer is needed but they come with four outlets,
Had the same thing happen to me except it was my knee that it ground into, cauterized as it went. Another lesson I learned the hard way was not to wear loose clothing around power tools, was doing touch ups inside a large pipe when the pencil grinder with a burr tool caught my sleeve and ripped the skin/flesh from my wrist part way to my elbow, yea this one bled big time !! Be careful ladies and gents !
1armedguy I held my grinder as far I could with one hand just to snag of a little piece that was hanging "loose". It let go with some bending let go and my hand flu around me in to the grinder. Got past my glove and in to the bone. Thank god fore superglue so I could continue working.
If you put some pipe dope or anti seize on the threads of those rod couplers it will keep the weld splater from sticking to the threads when you are welding. Also grind the zinc until you see sparks. The zinc won't spark so when you see sparks it's gone. keep up the good work love watching your channel.
love how far the build is coming i cant wait for electrical and plumbing !!! .... hate seeing the videos end ahaha i think so many people would want to buy a deck tile theres only so many ways to do it......
This is great stuff, mate! Keep up the good work! I have been watching this channel for several years now and hopefully I'm able to join your team someday.
love this prodject! I'm going to have to look into buying a space on one of your boards. I live in a town rich with ship building history here in maine. the SS Roosevelt that Robert perry took to the arctic was mad on a island that make up a third of our harbor, fort Knox (no gold just cannons) and bucksport make up the rest.
It's been awhile since I was in Europe, but most house-power is 220v - thinking the more elaborate plugs are because of that. That said, I think I still have several adapter plugs for varying countries. As for plugs, twist-lock plugs like we use for 220v here might be a solution. Keep up the good work, cheers.
Hey Doug Great progress - two things: 1) Keith Fenner keeps a clean plasma cutting machine 2) why not use plywood over the lead holds and save some money because they're not going to be accessed all the time
If you're running a hot short-circuit transfer, which it sounds like you are just based on my calibrated welder's ear, it's been my experience that the zinc galvanizing on bolts and such will vaporize away without trouble because it melts at around 800F and boils at around 1600F... well below the temperature of the puddle... just don't breath the white smoke which isn't a concern so much when you're outside. I'm glad to see that grinder didn't take a bigger chunk out of ya. One of my guys had a 9" buck on him last year, and there was a helicopter ride involved.
After 15years of drywall I learn the simple trick to extension cords use a couple wraps of 3m 33 electric tape and the days were slightly hassle free. Hope you find what you are looking for thanks enjoying
(Holly) An artist with tattoos, likes Guinness, wears armor, and is a model. I think I'm in love! Great work everybody! Doug, hows that wire wheel rash? lol. Lesson learned, right?
Check out 'chalkboard' paint. You can write on it like a chalk board. Just thinking ahead of when you paint the walls. Love this series. Keep up the good work.
Ha I did the exact same thing with a grinder except I had to have surgery to put my intestines back . I have a ten inch scar that looks like I had my appendix out from the grinder kicking back and opening my gut up . I was stuck just like you were and pulled my shirt over my head and I saw this huge gaping hole in my belly . I grabbed a towel and went to the hospital holding my intestines in . Walked in the door and the receptionist said do you have a problem and I pulled towel back and she said oh shit . Doctor walked up and just said straight to surgery . Was awake while the sewed my guts back up . Nothing worse than the smell of them cauterizing flesh . You were lucky bud
Love it. Thanks for sharing. I really wonder if a cup brush could do that. I actually have a theory that I would have gotten by without the arm pit wrestling match if I had been shirtless. Gee, is wish Myth Busters could do this. I don't have a pig available. :)
If you're willing to make the transition, twist lock plugs will solve your cord troubles. (McMaster ML2-15). On a side note, the under powered harbor freight angle grinders won't jack around so much with wire wheels. Never hurts to have one or two of them around.
Doug,I read down a few posting about electrical rough in before priming and painting. that would be a good idea to get some kind raceway support system in place first. (Knowing you it will be welded). wouldn't want to prime and paint then have to go back and burn your paint Job for conduit supports.
Standard European industrial plugs are locking. Domestic ones aren't. By the way for your primer I'd recommend an airless sprayer. They put the paint on much faster and more evenly than brushes or roller with a lot less fogging and wastage than air spraying. The pump will pull the paint straight from the can with little or no thinning. It probably won't work with the grip paint though.

Oh man, I have had one of those cup brushes grab me before. I had on about 3 layers and it still hurt, can't imagine with only a t-shirt and that massive dewalt grinder!
"Skepp o hoj" as you can use as a Swedish sailing term. Love your work, the videos and your attitude. Been a long time follower and now I'm watching the whole playlist from start to "finish". I know that you aren't the man that really have set a end time fore the build but I'm curious what plans you have for your home and workshop when it's all done. Boat in the water an seatried. I know that your planning to some with you on the boat but what of the rest? The workshop is pretty equipped and won't fit on the boat. /Marcus
I was down on my knees about 7 years ago cutting an under mount stainless steel sink in half (I installed granite counters and if you wanted a small bar sink it was about a 1/3 of the price to just cut a double bowl in half and then you got 2 sinks) anyway, the cutoff wheel caught on the front edge and needless to say me, my boss and about 8 nurses all got to see what the big muscle in my upper thigh looks like...they had to dig out pieces of the wheel right before putting in 18 stitches...I have a 3 inch scar that looks like a bomb went off on my leg...lol...glad your ok bro
On the power thing have you thought about hanging a temporary main buss with outlets off to one or both sides of the hold? Looks like all those sexy lighting holes in the supports could be used to string some extension cords through too.
I agree. You should definitely think about electrics a bit before finishing off the structure. You might find yourself in a bit of a hassle otherwise...
I'm sure you don't have a Menards store down in Tulsa but they do sell a locking extension cord. www.menards.com/main/electrical/electrical-cords-cord-management/extension-cords/12-3-50-stay-plugged-trade-yellow-extension-cord/p-1444439088750-c-6410.htm?tid=-7766769199134616470
Overhead is best for at sea. I was thinking about for now. A #12/3 wire cord fished through the supports with a metal duplex box spliced in at regular intervals. Line the holes with a chunk of old hose as a bushing to protect the cord You can plug a tool in and use it on the spot no extension cords needed. Four feet off the floor is code for a basement here, but this is a construction zone and it is Sv Seeker so....
What a great project 👍🏻 We have been watching for a wile now and love the progress. We need to make a trip out there and give a hand if we can. I would love to help out a bit. Our friend is leaving our place here in the Pacific Northwest this Friday for a 50 state road trip, vlogging his journey. He is (IAMJAKE) on TH-cam . We met by chance a few months ago and been giving him a hand getting his jeep ready for the trip. Give him a look and maybe you can collaborate a bit. Again Love what your doing Richard and Veronna
Doug, I absolutely love your inspirational project and channel and always look forward to new episodes. I do miss your great dynamic with Aden though. A couple of quick questions: Are you going to performs pressure leak tests on the fuel tanks in a similar fashion to the skeg? Did you manage to paint the other internal side of the rudder? Many thanks, Matt UK.
Thanks. Eventually, but I think we will use a fuel tank sealer paint over the welds in the tanks as welding inside the tanks would be difficult. And paint inside the rudder, skeg, and keels is not necessary as they are sealed off from oxygen. We also toss in a little diesel to displace the oxygen.
You would think you could simply put together a pair of cylinders with cones on the cord end, and some sort of twist latch that links two together. Either 3d print them with a slot for the cord to slide through the side, such that the resulting slots don't "match up" and the two ends support each other, or don't put the slot in them, just a hole for the cord to pass through and install a standard nema plug or socket on the end. (Note put both caps on when replacing one cord end.)
For the 'slot in the side' version for aftermarket instalation on cords, use a zip-tie at the cord end, set up to not clamp the cord, but keep it in the center axis of the latch.
I'm surprised you haven't (as far as I remember) tried using revolving laser to line up horizontal planes. They are used in the building trade for grid ceilings and floating floors for computer rooms and semiconductor clean room facilities. It sets up on a tripod, leveled to centre a spirit gauge and the motorized revolving light draws a virtual line around the walls of any space. Tilt it 90° and the same thing in the vertical plane for partition walls. Any use to you? I imagine you can hire them.
I can't believe the progress, it's amazing. I just have a couple questions. The female threaded lugs which the eye bolts will thread into, when not in use as anchors for strapping stuff down, will they be plugged with a bolt to prevent dirt and grime from getting into them? I just worry that it will be a huge pain to clean them out once they fill up with shit. That being said I could be wrong. Maybe a wire brush and shop vac could clean them out easily. Also, using them and anchors for strapping them down will cause a great deal of leverage on the welds to the floor. Have any tests been done with regular ratchet straps to see if they hold? I could be wrong and the leverage could be insignificant, just asking.
There are three parts: the plate disk, the threaded coupler, and an angle iron leg that keeps the coupler off the tank tops and levels the wood tiles. They may need to run the threads with a wire brush from time to time, but any dirt will fall through the coupler.
I have been surprised you run all the grinders without guards. I know they are a pain, but with those big ones you seem to favor they can bite real hard if permitted, as you discovered
most of the time they are wearing gloves. i like using a shield because usually i dont wear gloves, and setting it down while its still running. all depends on preferance
After the acid wash them in water and baking Soda. That rust is from acid residue. The baking soda will stop the reaction. I soak flanges in acid to eat off mill scale.

Wow - what a positive and great guy Doug is! No bullshit, no drama, no clickbait titles, and the list goes on :)

I needed a good long Seeker video after yesterday just to remind me that life and work still goes on.
SV Seeker, the loudest channel on the planet! Love it every week. Although Doug took a beating this week.
It's one thing about having a boat like yours, is that if ever there’s a huge flood, man your protected.
Doug, I did the same thing once with a wire wheel on a grinder. wind blew my t-shirt and the wire wheel caught it and started wrapping it up. Once it was up near my shoulder it had enough and tripped the breaker. Had a bit of road rash but nothing serious. Lesson learned! Tuck in the T-shirt!

Sure seems like progress is going faster. Cant wait for the paint.
The ship is coming along well. It is a tremendous undertaking and it seems like you haven't lost any steam and I really admire you for that.
Thanks. It's all just work. The trick is bringing passion with you to work. :)

Hi,
And what a great little team you have on this very technically difficult flooring process, not to forget the CNC programming and all the little details. A superb video thank you.
I never tire of watching!
my favorite time on the web thanks
Great work and it is clear you are all having fun.
Lucky Catch Doug, Just shows how quickly things can go wrong. Getting there
awesome to see all the progress you all are making. Keep up the great work! Cheers from PEI Canada, Bryan
Your flooring is fantastic. Well played, Sir, well played.

Getting there Doug. It's great to see the paint arriving.
The only one that knew you were in distress was the dog . Those wire wheels are NO JOKE MUST RESPECT THEM . I am glad you are good to go again A mere mortal would have went home . great job .
Don't care what anyone says, I love these videos.
Doug you're so lucky with that grinder...same thing happened to me it whipped out of my hand dropped onto the floor still going.. was wearing flip flops at the time,,missed me,,so I would say" hooray for luck" love what you're doing,,
This is incredible! I love watching the progress and on going problem solving. Love the idea for the deck panels with quotes.
man you are living the dream. Lots of inspiration. thanks.
One of your best episodes ever.
Thanks for sharing this new video. Please pay more attention to your physical safety. Take care !! Thank you very much
Brilliant update Doug! Think those panels will look amazing :D

I had grinder do the same, only it flew over my head about 10 feet. Glad you're alright.

"Grinder God" status revoked!
Technically that was a Cup Brush. I now will refer to it as "The Snake".
I hope you'll keep this aura that prevent you get harm. Stay safe and keep on your good work.
stripper alert
so, you had a close brush, with the cup brush.
Very cool! Y'all do some nice work!
project is coming along well. damned holy gloves ! I know that burn.
Curse those gloves. Always wrap duct tape around holes in the fingers. :)
Hey Doug
Great progress - two things:
1) Keith Fenner keeps a clean plasma cutting machine
2) why not use plywood over the lead holds and save some money because they're not going to be accessed all the time
Keith is a God, he is not human. And plywood is like cardboard compared to Ipe.
They could call IPE iron wood
If you're running a hot short-circuit transfer, which it sounds like you are just based on my calibrated welder's ear, it's been my experience that the zinc galvanizing on bolts and such will vaporize away without trouble because it melts at around 800F and boils at around 1600F... well below the temperature of the puddle... just don't breath the white smoke which isn't a concern so much when you're outside.
I'm glad to see that grinder didn't take a bigger chunk out of ya. One of my guys had a 9" buck on him last year, and there was a helicopter ride involved.
Close call with the grinder,had that happen to me with a b&D buffer back in the day ripped the shirt right off of me lucky the plug pulled out.
Ouch! Did not look pleasant! Another great video! Keep up the good work! Making good progress

Doug, they have free fraction calculators for a smartphone that are the best invention and make dividing Imperial fractions ridiculously easy.
you were very lucky with that grinder // i lost two fingers when that happened to me
I really wish I could come down to put some work in it. It's an awesome project and you seem like you'd be able to part some knowledge to me.
"Always best to build your first boat, second."
On the power thing have you thought about hanging a temporary main buss with outlets off to one or both sides of the hold? Looks like all those sexy lighting holes in the supports could be used to string some extension cords through too.

Ken Oakleaf Hmmm.. You're sure right about that... okay then.^^
I'm sure you don't have a Menards store down in Tulsa but they do sell a locking extension cord. www.menards.com/main/electrical/electrical-cords-cord-management/extension-cords/12-3-50-stay-plugged-trade-yellow-extension-cord/p-1444439088750-c-6410.htm?tid=-7766769199134616470

got a couple of leads here in aus with latches that clamp on the pins
Bit of a grinding burning day, I hear grinding armpit hair can be a bit on the uncomfortable side hope it heals soon man.
LOL
A suggestion for your extension cords, look into the NEMA #L5-30 connector type, it is a 3 contact twist lock connector
I've done that with a grinder once. The disc caught my shirt and climbed right up me.
Not done that one. I've injured some boots and gloves but never had a disc grab a shirt.
If you don't mind replacing your electrical plugs, you can buy "Turn lock plugs" for about $10 each from any electrical parts supplier.
I like the idea with the deck tiles, will they come up as an item in your store?
Jesus von Nazaret I second that!
Hmmm ???? $$$$$ Maybe ? lol
Jesus von Nazaret yeah, I gotta get me one of those tiles
Becarefull working..
you should look into renting a laser rust removal system. make short work of her when you decided to paint her.
that is posted to the facebook group at least once a week. its not a option due to cost.
...and miss the fun of using that cup brush? No Way!
john smith. No. steel must be rusty for that primer to do its job or it don't work. Just pressure clean off grease & flakey rust.
What a great project 👍🏻 We have been watching for a wile now and love the progress. We need to make a trip out there and give a hand if we can. I would love to help out a bit.

A couple of quick questions: Are you going to performs pressure leak tests on the fuel tanks in a similar fashion to the skeg? Did you manage to paint the other internal side of the rudder? Many thanks, Matt UK.
Thanks. Eventually, but I think we will use a fuel tank sealer paint over the welds in the tanks as welding inside the tanks would be difficult. And paint inside the rudder, skeg, and keels is not necessary as they are sealed off from oxygen. We also toss in a little diesel to displace the oxygen.
I've done that a couple times my self Doug
I've been bitten with a cup brush like that once too! They can do a lot off damage in a short time lol. BTW love all the vids!
Is this the party to whom I am speaking? The floor tiles idea is great. Wont take long to sell all the space off, I think.
i think raquetiers make s a twist lock product for cords. I've seen them for sale at the electrical supply house.
You would think you could simply put together a pair of cylinders with cones on the cord end, and some sort of twist latch that links two together. Either 3d print them with a slot for the cord to slide through the side, such that the resulting slots don't "match up" and the two ends support each other, or don't put the slot in them, just a hole for the cord to pass through and install a standard nema plug or socket on the end. (Note put both caps on when replacing one cord end.)
For the 'slot in the side' version for aftermarket instalation on cords, use a zip-tie at the cord end, set up to not clamp the cord, but keep it in the center axis of the latch.
I'm surprised you haven't (as far as I remember) tried using revolving laser to line up horizontal planes. They are used in the building trade for grid ceilings and floating floors for computer rooms and semiconductor clean room facilities. It sets up on a tripod, leveled to centre a spirit gauge and the motorized revolving light draws a virtual line around the walls of any space. Tilt it 90° and the same thing in the vertical plane for partition walls. Any use to you? I imagine you can hire them.
Yeah, the one we have will do that. But why?
I can't believe the progress, it's amazing. I just have a couple questions. The female threaded lugs which the eye bolts will thread into, when not in use as anchors for strapping stuff down, will they be plugged with a bolt to prevent dirt and grime from getting into them? I just worry that it will be a huge pain to clean them out once they fill up with shit. That being said I could be wrong. Maybe a wire brush and shop vac could clean them out easily. Also, using them and anchors for strapping them down will cause a great deal of leverage on the welds to the floor. Have any tests been done with regular ratchet straps to see if they hold? I could be wrong and the leverage could be insignificant, just asking.
There are three parts: the plate disk, the threaded coupler, and an angle iron leg that keeps the coupler off the tank tops and levels the wood tiles. They may need to run the threads with a wire brush from time to time, but any dirt will fall through the coupler.
I have been surprised you run all the grinders without guards. I know they are a pain, but with those big ones you seem to favor they can bite real hard if permitted, as you discovered
The guards are on the wall and you are welcome to use one.
most of the time they are wearing gloves. i like using a shield because usually i dont wear gloves, and setting it down while its still running. all depends on preferance
At least it wasn't your "Grinding God" shirt. That'd have been embarrassing...
Gotta respect those tools - all except the Dremel that is.
Can't believe how quickly your boat is coming together. Must be great help eh? Keep up the great work. :o)
After the acid wash them in water and baking Soda. That rust is from acid residue. The baking soda will stop the reaction. I soak flanges in acid to eat off mill scale.
Chest Brush burn and burnt finger......tough day!
Question, with a good wave will the wood decks stay down? Maybe counter bored magnets in each corner.
