Speaking of Jokull, while I was out sailing and cruising for a week in the San Juan Islands, I spotted a very familiar looking dog being walked down the dock by a woman sailor. Is that an Icelandic Sheepdog? I shouted. She turned around with a look of amazement on her face, and said, “it is, how did you know that? No one has ever correctly identified this breed before”. So I told her about your dog and your channel, and here’s hoping you have a new subscriber! .
The fridge looks great! If you are not happy with the opening you have look at a regular chest freezer. They open like a door. That to me would be better than the little holes they normally put on a boat. You work is superior! Great job
Madds, I can't believe I'm offering YOU a tip... Epoxy finishing, while wet, directly after applied you can "torch" lightly (low heat and very quick strokes) this eliminates nasty bubbles. I know I'm too late but, I thought I would offer the tip.
“Easter Bunny’s hot tub.” LOL!!! Mads, you have mastered the art of information and entertainment! Well done and wishing you success with future steps.
With the three coats of epoxy topped with varnish, you gave me a great idea how to finish a mahogany dashboard for the upper control station of my boat. Looking to finish it with a non-glare finish so that sunlight won’t blind me when driving. You. Are. Awesome!
They will look great, I used the 3 coats of epoxy, wet sanded with 600 until the surface was flat then put 3 coats of schooner gold varnish on top around the inside of my fishing boat wheelhouse and two years on it still looks great and it gets a fair bit of sunshine and traffic
I have to say something. I've watched you refit your boat for over a year now. Watching the transformation from were I started watch to now. I have to say I'm extremely jealous. The sense of accomplishment that you are going to feel after it your project is completed is going to be indescribable. Excellent craftmanship. Great job.
Mads - First time adding comments as I normally watch on TV and no way to leave comments. Have you thought about venting your cabinets? Most boats have some type of ventilation holes in the front. It is not too late for you. Look how Bavaria works it into theirs. Older boats usually have louvers. Good luck and I can't wait until I actually see Athena sail!
Thank you Mads for making my Sunday complete. It wouldn't be Sunday without a video of sanding. fairing compound, fiberglass work, innovative problem solving and creative experimentation. Take care, stay well.
I used exactly the same methode to varnish my self-built mahogany boat. Beautiful. I find that it is absolutely important to sand between the Epifrane coats. Before the last coat I sanded and polished to 1000grid and then applied the varnish. Next time I'd use the Epifrane 1k-urethane on the Epoxy. I find that the 2k tends to run out less smoothly and leave ever so slight brush marks
Mads, i used that same epoxy, varnish method on the teak toe rails of my Pearson 28. I had taken them off the boat to refinish them in my garage over the winter. They came out beautiful. The day after I reinstalled them, I noticed skuff marks all along them, at what appeared to be even intervals. I quickly realized it was where the screws attached the toe rails to the boat. The Epifane I used cracked open when the screws pushed into the wood. That shouldn’t happen on your cupboards, but be careful!
As always, this twenty three odd minutes zoomed by in what felt like five minutes! It makes me want to get out my fairing tools and come over and help. And my vanishing brushes also! Nice video today Mads! Thanks.
I know it has taken a long time to get to this point and it has been a real joy to see the transformation, but I can tell you one thing the giant leaps this project seems to take now toward completion it just so satisfying. Keep up the excellent work and I can't wait to see the next weeks progress!
Simpelthen fantastisk kanal, så gennemført og skide godt sat sammen. Er i gang med en 31 fods motorsejler og har brugt utallige timer på din kanal til at lære alt muligt. Takker for det gode arbejde! just awesome channel. Was written :D
Thanks Mads fridge / freezer looks very spiffy 👍🏻 Not a expert but if i remember correctly the humidity indoors will be different from outdoors 🤔 should of been ok to varnish... I think ? Looking forward to the next one 👍🏻🏴⛵
Can you try forcing the hollow spot out on the hull from the inside of the boat and laminating some reinforcement on the interior of the hull to keep it fair? All your work is looking great and you are great to watch.
A gentle flash over with a blowlamp after applying the epoxy coats will bring any bubbles out of the matrix very quickly leaving them bubble-free, I have used this method with both float application and rolling and tipping and it works with both, just keep the flame moving, I did it in small circles but some do it in strokes, your choice, just don't incinerate the surface, hence the constant movement.
Very interesting video, thanks! About PU vs XPS, I've read that the foaming agent used in the current PU foam boards is worse at cool temperature because it condenses, while the CO2 in XPS doesn't. But now there are better foaming agents that insulate even better and are also better for the environment. 0.020 W/mK looks pretty good (and it's apparently not PU but a different foam). You can get Jackodur Plus with 0.027 W/mK.
Mads, you will need a drain for the fridge, even with an airtight seal unless you only open it on days when the dew point is below your fridge temperature 😳 Also handy when you clean it.
I’m thinking, also, that the extra spiffy “standing desk” opener will allow significant air circulation over the entire top surface area; the less material in the fridge, the more heat circulation. Perhaps a way to open only half at a time will reduce the intensity of temperature transfer.
I have a chest fridge and you don't get condensation (cold air stays in bottom) but drain is SUPER handy when you clean it, and you don't want to have to add a drain with 1 gal of milk in the bottom.
@@collinstrid indeed and he is usually a belt and braces type of builder. This is one time I disagree with him and feel I've had experience of the issue
Very nice work on the fridge :) shows you are no longer an amateur. With the epoxy on cupboards, I believe you can pass a heat gun over it to break the bubbles and let it run out better?
The doors look good, hopefully, you don't have many o any problems with wood movement. Time will tell I guess. The fridge has way more insulation than commercial fridges, I expect it'll be quite efficient. Discretion is the better part of valour. I think you made a good call on the dip in the hull.
Ha! I suppose great minds do think alike. Before watching this episode I’d actually gone to Audible and down loaded a free book, and low and behold I chose “Two Years Before The Mast”. Enjoyed reading it as a young lad and now will enjoy it again. The boats looking good. I epoxy the exterior mahogany on my own boat usually with West System and apply Bristol, which is a two part urethane offering good UV and abrasion resistance.
If you never plan on opening your fridge, air tight will work. We try to minimize our fridge and freezer openings as much as possible but condensation happens. If you have the time to install a drain it will also support cleaning said fridge once something inside spills. Spills happen - tops come loose, containers get bumped going in and out, “guests” can be careless .... Throughly cleaning a fridge, l’d say cleaning a head is the only job worse 🙂
I understand your justification for not filling in that large depressed area between formers in the hull, but you might want to reconsider based on the opportunity it would provide for a huge amount of glorious sanding.
As much as I like watch the work on the boat progress, i also like it when to take some time out to show us fun with the dog. It shows the human/canine side of things. I grew up in a family where we always had dogs and cats and I love having them both.
Hi! Tipping your undecoats of epoxy is a very good idea. But in order to save time and effort, you can preferably use a hot air gun to even the surface, It work very well, and in the end it is sanding time reducer. No bulbble resists to such a treatment. ... Cheers!
Just a tip I can share with you ! A mistake I made ☹ When I built my 36 foot sailing catamaran, I used 2 part marine white paint inside, I used the same brand and color as outside but it was interior paint ( less cost ) without UV protection. After about 4 years it looked like I was a smoker, it turned dirty yellow from the sun ! Use UV protected paint inside also ! Troical sun rays get inside also ! Love your videos Cheers to you, sail on.
Hello! I gave you a few slightly critical comment about designing your boat around diesel oil. Now I would like to give a highly positive one: this fridge is a very interesing design - I am looking forward in how you will add the electronics into it.
I watch a guy who makes diorama models and he uses epoxy resin for the water features. To get rid of air bubbles he uses a heat gun over the area to bring the bubbles to the surface.
Wow the vanish Finnish looks amazing so nice. I think it was wise to wait till the weather cooled down. Athena is becoming a woman . Lol she is going to be queen of the seas.
I owned a boat that had that same low spot except I had 3 in one side. It happens while they were building the boat and when they removed the mold it was a manufacturing defect. I got a great deal on the boat too.
For the fridge, you will be losing more space for the cooler. I suppose it will be cold plate. Where will the compressor be and how will you be running the lines? As you have made no mention of how you plan to refrigerate the box, could you be planning on an ice box only? Great job finishing the doors. A propane torch run quickly over the wet surface will remove bubbles. Thanks for sharing.
It is probable someone else has already mentioned this and you probably were already doing it either way, but jic, a mild round over on the corners of the kitchen island is going to go a long way to reducing bruised hips...
I really want to see the 5 year update on this tomorrow. Very curious how it will hold up. They list all kinds of warnings for ipe and teak to deal with the oil and pores. My boom crutch is halfway done and am debating on what to finish it with.
Mads, did you provide a vapor barrier seal to all exterior joints between the insulation panels and to those panel ends? Water vapor will continually find its way through any cracks or crevices and condense when it reaches dew point. It even will make its way through the unsealed foam block ends, as the foam is not impermeable. I have seen a lot of cryogenic insulation fail due to damaged or improperly applied vapor barriers. I wish you well.
Your varnishing idea, using 105/207 epoxy is a great one. I use that on my external teak. A few top coats of varnish protect the epoxy from UV and gives a rich look.
I have been doing the epoxy clearcoat followed by urethane varnish for the external wood on my boat. Copied the idea from the interwebs. It really is a successful way to get a brilliant deep clear looking finish that's been holding up to the sun and weather for over a year now. So I'm sure it will be great indoors too. 👌👍😎
Good choise to go with the 2C varnish. If you read the Epifanes Handbook veeeery carefully you will find a note that 1C Epifanes wouldn't cure on epoxy. I unfortunately experienced this is very true for the West System stuff.
When building strip plank boats they use epoxy and thin wowen glasfiber mat to bond the boat together. But this also give a very durable foundation for varnished finish.
Love the videos! Not sure if you made one but a false drawer front in front of the sink will tie the area together. Regular kitchens do it all the time.
I found epoxy and varnish work well together as finish coatings. I actually alternated coats of each on my tiller - turned out fine, lasts and lasts. The idea is to make a hard/soft/hard/soft sandwich, and the varnish has UV protection to stop the epoxy from yellowing. Anyway, that's my crazy idea of the day for what it's worth...
I've wondered why people dont use epoxy instead sometimes. Holy cow, I wish everything sanded like that foam does! That looked like an orbital dual action light saber cutting those edges off! Oh and thank you for sharing some good pup action of Jokül with us!
@@nordicdust As I pointed out to Mads when he made them, panels of solid timber should have the panel area in the middle "floating" (ie not glued, and made slightly undersize) within grooves of the frame to allow for expansion and contraction. Mads glued them in. Cross grain movement is entirely different from long grain movement, thus these doors and drawer fronts will fail when the centre panels expand horizontally but the top and bottom rails don't. It's just in the nature of timber.
I'm in the middle of doing this process, myself (for my teak outside). I've been taking photos of it every day. My formula is two coats of 207-based epoxy, seven coats of Interlude Schooner Gold, two coats of UV-resistant polyurethane, sanding between every coat.
Leave the audience on a cliff hanger make them eager for more !!! Did you learn your media skills from Disney ? Great as always it's starting to come together very nicely. 👍👍👍
I'd add a drain just in case. Makes it sooo much easier when you get ice buildup inside (especially when you are in high humidity areas like the Bahamas).
Nice idea for the fridge opening, but it seems to me that if the top part was much lighter (some kind of sandwich with just 1cm of wood on the top or coriandre or something), it would have way more chances too work in the end (easier to open it, less force on the hinges, etc)
I’ve used a similar epoxy varnish process this year with West 105/207 and Interlux 2-part varnish. Seems to apply nicely. We’ll have to see about durability.
Thanks for keeping us entertained after a bit of boat work myself! I look forward to your videos every week. Great fridge. It was a shame to have to haul out your original galley that you made, but this looks verrrrrry spiffy. All the best from Canada. 🇨🇦

You're going to have a hell of a job keeping that fridge clean without a drain.
The fridge is better than factory built!
If all people built DIY like you there would be no factory built!
Magic ice that doesn’t melt. I can’t wait to see this.
This boat is no longer a Warrior 38. You'll have to re brand the make and model. A "Spiffy 38" sounds appropriate.
Call it ”build on a botched Warrior 38”
Mads Special 38
Add a bowsprit and call it a Madds 40
I’d call it a ”Somewhat extensive Warrior 38” ;)
and name it 'glorious sanding'
I really admire you for all your hardwork; and also I admire you because you asked a naval engineer where to put reinforcements ;-)
Only Mads could make watching paint dry interesting.

A drainer in your fridge/ice box always comes in handy....
A quick scoot over the drying epoxy with a heat gun would take out most bubbles and voids. :¬)
That’s great info! I should have figured that out but I didn’t
I dig your attention to detail, testing small before going big, and uncompromising quality. Your our video editing is well done.
He is so mild mannered and happy. Someday he is going to snap and it is going to be epic.
He snaps every episode but unfortunately it never makes the final cut.

Put a lid on it! ...Kidding. Good work as usual.
You can also flame the surface of the resin while wet to draw out the air bubbles. Light Wiff with a lazy flame and it pulls all the bubbles out.

I saw "varnishing" and had to drop everything to watch. While perhaps not as glorious as sanding I do enjoy it
I'll pass on vanishing. Did to many hours of it.
Interior varnish only!

Good luck with the weather.

Did it on exterior teak on a previous boat. It lasted 2 years, before it started flaking.
Best part of Sundays
Making good progress, weather dependent, but good progress.
if one puts a grid of holes or slots into the pink foam for the resin to grab into, fiberglassing directly on top would probably work fine.
Another great video Mads, thank you for taking the time to share it with us. Amazing work.
Good choise to go with the 2C varnish. If you read the Epifanes Handbook veeeery carefully you will find a note that 1C Epifanes wouldn't cure on epoxy. I unfortunately experienced this is very true for the West System stuff.
Great idea to make the fridge larger, very practical, but remember the first commandment of sailors: “ You shalt not forget a spiffy generator”
What??? You're just making that sh*t up....
When building strip plank boats they use epoxy and thin wowen glasfiber mat to bond the boat together. But this also give a very durable foundation for varnished finish.
you can cut foam with a hot wire.. there are a number of YT videos on how to make a hot wire knife

Timber moves. Epoxy doesn't. This is yet another reason these door and drawer panels are going to fail.
@@MikeAG333 What are the other reasons?
@@MikeAG333 That is true. Of course some panels are fixed and have no joints but I see what you are saying.
@@nordicdust As I pointed out to Mads when he made them, panels of solid timber should have the panel area in the middle "floating" (ie not glued, and made slightly undersize) within grooves of the frame to allow for expansion and contraction.

Just keep the fridge full, water bottles if nothing else. Thermal mass once cold is easy to keep that way
I'm in the middle of doing this process, myself (for my teak outside). I've been taking photos of it every day. My formula is two coats of 207-based epoxy, seven coats of Interlude Schooner Gold, two coats of UV-resistant polyurethane, sanding between every coat.
Neat project! Thanks for sharing!
Good show Mads, I learned a lot.
Leave the audience on a cliff hanger make them eager for more !!!
Did you learn your media skills from Disney ?
Great as always it's starting to come together very nicely.
👍👍👍
I'd add a drain just in case. Makes it sooo much easier when you get ice buildup inside (especially when you are in high humidity areas like the Bahamas).
Nice idea for the fridge opening, but it seems to me that if the top part was much lighter (some kind of sandwich with just 1cm of wood on the top or coriandre or something), it would have way more chances too work in the end (easier to open it, less force on the hinges, etc)
I’ve used a similar epoxy varnish process this year with West 105/207 and Interlux 2-part varnish. Seems to apply nicely. We’ll have to see about durability.
Thanks for keeping us entertained after a bit of boat work myself! I look forward to your videos every week. Great fridge. It was a shame to have to haul out your original galley that you made, but this looks verrrrrry spiffy. All the best from Canada. 🇨🇦
Up at 5 AM on Saturday and ready to go to work ??????
I've been known to stay up that late,
when the party was good.
