We really enjoy watching Simon’s little ‘side projects’!! I don’t think you realise what a good teacher/explainer you are Simon!!! 😊 I mean obvs we miss Gemma, but it’s still luvly to see you in your element!
I bought a 70 inch tv, now Simon is literally and figuratively larger than life! 🎉😂
mind your eyes with the glare, now the sun's out .☺
70 inch. 😳 Do you sit at the bottom of the garden to watch it😄
My god so much better watching this than opening ceremony 😅
Watching paint dry is much better than the opening ceremony.
@@jamesa7506 would have given your comment a million likes, stupid woke opening
You certainly know the dingle dangle of the angles! Excellent metal working. Great to watch you working.
I always enjoy watching you solve problems that some wouldn't even think was a problem until it was too late. Great work!
This is brilliant progress for Sarinda.
Not long ago, that complete area was a massive hole, with the timbers around it rotting away.
You've done a a sterling job and should feel very proud with the results. I'm especially impressed with your fabricating skills, clearly evident in this episode.
The attention to detail is second to none and every cut is well thought out and executed.
Bravo to you's, and to all your amazing supporters for their continuing enthusiasm.
I wouldn't miss your Friday night videos for anything. Already looking forward to the next.
Don’t know how you and Gemma do it fantastic work just keep on going hope to see you sailing and maybe take her over to one of the d day celebrations in the future keep our history alive and preserve it for future generations
Good job with your brackets Simon, yeah its a good thing hanging onto steel plate rather than getting rid of all scrap. Price of steel now is crazy so every little helps.
I suggest drilling oversized holes through the deckplates first. Fill it completey with epoxy resin and let it cure. Afterwards you drill the smaller required hole. The benefit together with using washers is a much better protection for the wood underneath.
With every new added part, it looks and sound extremely solid. I don't see any of it coming apart... Thumbs Up!
I've only just found the channel, I've watched all video's you've uploaded. Been an amazing journey, well done to both of you and the family!!
I thought that I was going to have to watch a whole episode without hearing Simon giggle thank God Gemma showed up and made it happen😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She’s really shaping up for you. Nice work!
Love the brackets for below decks.👍 and moving the rollers forward. 👍
What a great video guys , very impressive work this week as usual of course 😂 especially your welding and fabrication skills Simon , very professional well done guys , Graham
19.54... All I could think about was the auto pilot from the movie "Airplane" 😆...Great work Simon.
Big Smile!
I have long been an admirer of Gemma and Simon's inventiveness and initiatives, but this episode highlights the fact that Simon deserves to display the Post-nominals "MDotg" after his name! (Master, Design on the go) 😊.
Huge steps and it's looking good....I get cold shivers down me back as I feel that you too.
Congratulations on the presentation of the episode . I can see it has taken some preparing, you make it look it took only a few days !!! Well done !!!.
A very interesting and productive video today from you hard workers.
Simon, I was understating when I commented on your ability and talent; you truly are a skilled craftsman.
Great job fixing up this beauty.
Hilariously, the auto-subtitling has decided that bullwarks are "Ball Works" :) SO, re. those big cleats. Are you planning on some metal chafing gear on the edge of the deck once it is established? Most of the best modern boats do that, usually in stainless. Helps the rubbing of lines over time from chipping or digging into the edge as they go over and down.
Looking good Simon Gemma, she's coming together.
Your skills are amazing! Nothing you can't achieve as a team. I am in awe.
Wow, thank you!
Excellent progress you guys are getting better every task nothing seems to put you off 👍
Simon it looks like you enjoy doing the technical solo videos, personally I really enjoy watching them , thank you.
I can't believe how much you two have accomplished on your boat.👍
I have one of the YesWelder 5-in-1 tools - excellent (though I am jealous of the 7-in-1 with the aluminium capability!)
Great work: never a problem you can't solve, never a mistake you can't recover from!
Blown away, as usual. Keep up the AMAZING work!!! Love it 😊
Thank you so much!!
That is a great weld.
To avoid future problems with the deck, please drill oversized holes, fill with epoxy, and than re-drill the holes so that any water penetration does not ruin the wood.
He could pin a dowel into the lower timber before pouring the epoxy. That gives a soft centre for drilling.
no no no don`t do that, wood is always moving. epoxy doesn't. That's why it cracks.
In a weird show of Kismet Sailing Magic Carpet demonstrated in today’s episode how to properly do deck penetrations.
Absolutely, I don't do anything else.
I would say to use a flexible caulk every where on those thro deck fixings and fittings having watched Leo working on Tally Ho. I believe he has set the standard.
Great job Simon
Did you flush the bow rollers to the outside face of the Bullwark or in the inside face. Really seems like it is flush to the outside face whereas I would think it should flush to the inside face. Whenever I am tempted to modify a part that came off a project so that it seemingly fits, I am careful to asses the situation carefully to figure out where I may be going wrong.
Amazing Progress !!
20:47 always a relieve when the drill is not going to bite into the plate and gutting you 😅
Interesting to watch but the most important thing I've learned from watching this channel all this time is for me personally to never take on a wooden boat project. I'll just stick to buying new fiberglass ones.
What a great channel, love to watch your hard work and progress.
Hi Simon is there any reason you haven't gel coat the deck before sticking your wood down , As at moment the fibreglass you have layed is porous and not completely waterproof. If you leave it like that you will end up with osmosis getting in .. where the water has got in between the ply wood and the fibreglass on the edges or just on mat you have layed. Gel coat is not only the shiny part it makes it completely waterproof... Just little bit of help mate from someone who been in the industry since leaving school in 1990 and worked for nearly all the big boat firms ,sun seekers ,princess , colvic craft, sun cruisers, etc... would hate to see all your hard work on the deck not lasting because water gets in and delaminate's it leading to osmosis.
eyyyy that's progress!
Awesome work!
Fabulous progress. You 2 are amazing.
Great job on the cleat and bow roller attachment progress.
Ahhhh !Satisfying
Next time you use the extraction system can put a face on the bag so it looks like the blow up pilot from the film Airplane :-)
The size of your cleats is in comparison to the size of the ropes /lines you use. the bigger the better for a vessel the size of Sarinda. if you keep her there for much longer she will become a listed building. but i know you will do the right thing by her. nice one you two boatheads and crack on
good see you get vid done and more work on the boat keep up the good vid and shareing the work on the channel you do thanks lee
Nice job!!
Well the bow roller fits to the stem, so Simon and Gemma must have got the maths right. 👍
Great video 2x👍
I was hoping you would remember the effect of the deck thickness when you were adjusting the bow roller. I had a big sigh of relief at the 13 minute point!
Great couple. This boat will do well when completed. Piss off on the detractors and know bests. Unless you have taken on a similar project on a similar boat, just enjoy what they are doing.
Making some backing plates and installing some bow bling - cleats, soon the bow rollers.
You guys are DIY WARRIORS! Always impressed at how you take on these daunting tasks.
Protect the plywood after you drill the holes over size the holes and fill with epoxy. then when the epoxy has gone off and dried. re-drill the holes protecting the wood from fresh water ingress
Leaps and bounds it is going now, feels like yous are on the home stretch now, looking great, and the attention to detail is great, fairplay, love it👍🇮🇪
WOW, as we reflect, it’s exciting to see new rollers and cleats on a new deck!
I see/worry about the comments on deck thickness, cleat location,etc. l’m not an engineer, but I am always impressed with stress, etc from wind and water in wooden boats and airplanes. Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken
The cleats are in the same place they always were, the deck thickness was originally 15mm and we have increased it to 18mm, we have added 2 layers of 600g fiberglass, which is never had previously, so if what they did in the 80s was fine, we have beefed it up even more and made the deck watertight with the fiberglass! But there will always be TH-cam comments from people who seem to know more!
@@ShipHappensUK Thx for the numbers! John Ken
Nice progress, guy. I would make at list 2 coat of black paint. Hard working piece in the future.
Another excellent video. Thank you.
You have done well to make the boat stronger than before and beefed up the mornings points
The front of the boat take a lot of strains so it's needs to be strong for the bouncing and strong winds conditions.
Just a little bit closer to dryer in.
I really like how you two make it work! I get to see a whole lot of methods on prep, assembly and installation that I had no idea are needed. Great Work!!
Thanks for watching!
You need to protect the glass fibre against UV put some paint on ASAP.
With this years weather in the UK water penetrations more of reality ...UV from sunshine is wishfull thinking mostly 😢😂
Simon, you ARE a shipwright! Great job!
Amazing workmanship and inspiring as always....I love these Friday afternoons with you two!
Oldtimer tip. 🕳️ When drilling through wood or fiberglass. To keep the tear out to a minimum run the drill backwards to start and if you can backwards at the end
Store your stock biscuits in the airing cupboard, then keep an airtight jarful in the workshop. They should slide easily into the slots and only expand with the moisture from the glue.
Regarding the cleat position, start with how you intend to moor the vessel. If that is somewhat different from original. Now is the time to adjust
Gemma and Simon you are truly absolutely amazing the way you work together love the video keep up the good work it will be spectacular in the end dave stay safe 👍
You two are awesome! So skilled in everything you need to do. Continued good fortune to you as you restore Sarinda !!!!
Moving around the boat now Showa just how much work you have done up until now . Congratulations well done.
The Stanchions I think
Scary stuff cutting those boards
So much work done so much still to do, it's getting there though. I thought that sky the way it looked was going to throw down buckets of water.
This is awesome.. And love how you beefed up the cleet mounting... Look forward to seeing how she progresses
Well done on the progress with Sarinda, I only discovered your channel recently but have spent the last 3 weeks binge watchign from the very start and have just caught up.
Your determination to restore this lovely boat is really inspiring and I cant wait to see more progress.
Simon...mad fabrication skills, bro. 👊😎
Interesting video thank for sharing.Keep up the great work both looking forward to next week video 👍
I went back and looked at a couple of early videos. My goodness what a change. How did you ever envisage it would turn out the way it has? What vision and determination.
I know from personal experience how long it takes to make one off ,custom ,brackets etc ,you've got a lot of work done this week ,well done.
Cheers. Now the fun stuff starts. So happy for you two
Beautifuly done! Your project is robust ,great looking and it strengthens the deck hull and stem union
Well done, the old girl is tickled into bliss.❤
Gemma will be happy 😂😉
Yeah it sounds you have Summer cold coming on it’s this pissing weather haha
You and Gemma are truly inspirational!
Wow, thank you!
Wonderful work! Inspiring to see you tackle one job after another with good cheer! Keep on keeping on!
She's coming together nicely!
So very cool to see this stage of the build going on!!!
Been watching a while love your endearing from a carpenter and a lineman !!!!
Brilliant Simon. I haven't done any welding or plasma cutting since I was an apprentice many, many years ago.
A question, though. The wood that you glued to the deck under the bow roller. I know you have made the deck watertight, but don't you have to stop any water from going under the wood and just sit there🤔
Must be Friday! Ship Happens!!😎😎😎
13:20 I was worrying about that very thing. Glad you are taking it into consideration before mounting.
Fabricating those supports was a great job. Just a word of caution, when drilling steel plates try to brace the plate against the drill press column, if the drill grabs the plate the column will stop the plate from spinning which would be dangerous to your hand that's holding the plate. Sorry, but that's my toolmaker training coming back at me.
Great job. might pay you to put a piece of stainless under the cleats to the edge of the decks to stop the ropes from chafing the deck.
you must be so chuffed of that forward deck it looks great
I used (on whiteboard) nail polish remover to remove permanent marker.
Love it, Loving it eh ?🙌🏻🙌🏻😁😁
Awesome work those cleat brackets look quite robust!
The cleats brackets look impressive !
Great job with the brackets and now rollers.👍
Now THAT is a puncture ! Not your usual little leek!😁
I've watched your video's for a couple of years now and would be curious if you are fully restoring the boat or modernizing it in some fashion for your sailing use in the future?
You could have made those cleat brackets to suit the top cleats then drilled the easy (inboard) holes from underneath. And the outboard holes from outside.
All I could think about when you were describing the roll of the deck was that Bugs Bunny bit about Ohio being high in the middle and round on both ends...😂
