Nice vid! Your hard work is really starting to show. I can't wait to see more,looks like you will be painting before you know it.
Man I hate it when these videos end. I'm kicked back, feet up getting my Seeker On! when bam it ends. While it's back to waiting for the next one. Thanks
+Kent Dutrieux Yeah it's really annoying, especially when nothing else in your subscriptions is as good.
так много труда! с утра до поздней ночи. вы очень работящие. Мне бы таких работников
Better than any TV show. Thats for damn sure.
neeed, more… need longer video!!! :(
didn't get my fix. haha
+ShnitzlHaus What the Gentleman said above.
+ShnitzlHaus Every time i see a new video I get way more excited than i probably should.
***** I check probably 4 times a day, even after I just watched one…… as if another would be posted that shortly ;D nice to see more people are just as crazy!
+ShnitzlHaus oh yeah, seeker's videos are like crack. Addictive as hell
i wish he had a live stream on his website!
Make sure that you protect the glass for the port hole when you grinding or welding. :)
Armchair boatbuilding gives much satisfaction, especially watching same video, twice in one day........LOL.........Anonymous Missy Fortune Cookie ;-)
I wish there was 24 hr streaming camera on nearest light pole. I'd pay to watch!
Perfect for my 10 min break at my yob
Didn't I just watch this earlier?
+Michael Ramsey I was just saying this same thing to myself...I distinctly remember watching this. Not listed in my history though... Déjà vu...
+Fierofreak01 the last minute and ten seconds are not in the previous video from what I recall. probably accidentally uploaded the unfinished edit of the video previously.
DJHenjin
Ok, not I'll watch the end of this one.... Thanks for the heads up
No, I saw the end earlier... Thought it was a cool way to wrap up the video..
+DJHenjin pretty sure they were idk what is different
I've been wondering what you were going to use for masts. Might look to local electric co-ops up there for longer steel poles. The co-op here in Ada, Oklahoma uses a lot of steel poles. Just a thought.
+Maggiespapa The foremast came from Illinois. th-cam.com/video/mPlVjbfmD1g/w-d-xo.html
Funny how on our days off from boat building we watch others boat building...
How do you plan to address the galvanic action between the portholes and the steel boat? Same as the pilothouse? Seems like a lot of gaskets to keep watch over.
Great video but I have a one question: are the lead particles from the grinder a problem? Or are they large enough and don't cause respiratory issues?
Hi,
And I am pleased for you that you found a Mast and Mizen. It the main mast going to be a temporary one, with the walls being thinner than you might need, using it until you can find the correct thickness?
I am not ofay (sorry on the spelling) with how you might fit it, but can you do one of two things, first use this mast and strengthen it so it will have the same strength, welding narrow strips to it which will allow you to get other measurement as the mast is raised, and I am assuming you have the outer dia the correct size, second, use this mast as a temporary one until you can find the correct wall thickness of a second one?
+mrbluenun We got what I wanted. The main is 5/16 wall, 16" diameter. Not much was gained by going to 3/8" wall.
Better than any tv show on the planet! Cheers from Trinidad!
I don't even like boats/ships but I love this series!
If you need to strip of the galvanizing from the pipe to elongate it, the best way is to brush on straight hydrochloric acid until it stops bubbling. It will strip it to a perfect clean surface and you can even mask the pipe of with painters tape to control the stripped area 100%. For a pipe that size you can properly do it in less than three minutes.
I use this method for plumbers pipes I use as a cheap construction material for odd projects. Small pipes is easiest to just dip in a mason jar with acid and wait a few seconds for the bubbles to stop.
Don't forget to clean with plenty water after you have stripped the galvanizing.
+Jens Sigurdson Interesting. I was going to just grind it off. I have muriatic acid. Shouldn't that work too?
That is the same thing: H-Cl
:-)
I knew ya would, yer old grinder! LOL
stopped in ! Great as usual!!!!
That ring roller looks like it handles good sized stock really well.
Have you looked at siphon guns like the Critter Spray Gun? You may be able to modify it slightly to accommodate the viscosity of that epoxy. I love mine and it will spray relatively thick fluids without mods.
In that first segment I thought I was witnessing you assisting in the birth of a baby boat (or a baby buoy haha). Amazed at your journey as usual. Keep it up.
Will you continue to make videos once the Seeker is finished?
+KiwiPowerNZ Absolutely.
How close are you to finishing the Seeker??
One day closer. After tomorrow we'll be another day closer.
Cool, I'd love the channel to turn into a Vlog about the work the boat does and daily operations even the "boring" stuff when it is finally in the water!
Awesome progress. I can't help but think you are over the halfway hump.
Once again, eminently watchable Tubes. The great sense of teamwork, ingenuity, industry, invention and just plain work. Oh, and the editing.....superb! So satisfying.
have you considered a "Go fund me" pitch? You might be surprised.... You could probably quit that farging distraction/job of yours and get that boat in the water. Just a thought.... I know I would donate six bits...1.50$ or maybe even more... Anyway, Best wishes...,
Ron
As of 12:06am (est), on 04/15/16 24,XXX people watched this video. That just blows my mind! I grew up in a town that had a population of 10k during the 2010 census. My HS graduation class in 2001 had 98 people. Just a testament to how awesome this build really is! Doug if I may offer my opinion? I think the success of your channel is owed to your honesty you provide to the viewers, and your dedication towards the project. That coupled with your '0 f*cks given' attitude?! Ha! I wish I lived closer, I'd like to see this ship in person. Cheers.
I am inspired by your videos! I enjoy watching you and your team "Working through" the failures, learning, and the finial "Ta-Daaaa" moment. I think by the end of the boat, you will be THE subject matter expert, for all aspiring builders. Keep up the great work!
Really grateful for you sharing your Journey to Adventure ....... regards from Panhandle Texas.
Sorry, afterthoughts... You always want to use the same metals to mitigate galvanic corrosion. The DeadLights(?) being aluminum, you might use ferrules/ bushings/washers of zinc. On the other topic, maybe one of your fans know how to set up a crowd funding scenario. (I wouldn't know the first thing about it)..I think I remember seeing that you have 62k followers... that probably means 10 fold are watching your shenanigans. You are legit and I'm sure minions would donate at least 10 bucks... my two centavos..
LOL! I was watching you with the string and said to my self...SELF...I think he measured that wrong...Yep. It's how we learn. Great work as usual Doug!
Another that can't get enough Seeker video. Too cool! Making great progress. What's your rigging plan? Electric winches? Manual? How many people needed to sail Seeker? I know nothing at all about junk rigs. Have just heard great things from people who have them.
Another wonderful installment of the Seeker's progress.
Is the belt sander at 8:17 home built? Looks like the castings are aluminum. Also looks like the belt can be tilted 90 deg. as an edge sander.
Glad to see all the eager helping hands.
Anodic nobilities.....Hi again... Your show is better than Mad Men... Wanted to throw a few cents back in.. Being the "boat that the internet built". Building is easy..Deciding is labor intensive. An easy way to decide on dissimilar metals is easy. Use the least noble metal on screws and replaceable shit. Lesser Noble metals will corrode first. Pick what you would rather replace...Keep up the great work. You inspire me..
Hello Doug, Check out a paint supply store or Grainger for 'radiator brushes' . They make painting odd angles much easier (like in behind angle iron). They come in 2 through 4 inches and 45 degree angles both vertical to the handle and horzontal that I know of. We used them on ships. Very useful but you never see them in box stores or even hardware stores. Doug
Truly amazing. A Steel Sailing boat built by TH-cam DIY information sharing and international contribution of labor. I've been watching this build for several months, and I sure hope the boat floats when it is finally launched.
Excellent video, fun to watch, great editing. It is interesting to watch the folks and where they come from to help build Seeker. You're getting there. JD/Missouri
Oh fuk... Just powder-coat the aluminum DeadLights! use Teflon washers and bushings. You need a few more exotic tools in that workshop of yours. Plus you could p coat the first 6 inches of the pilot house and use some sort of non conductive gasket between the aluminum and steel.
So many things I love here. I don't want to sound trollish, and I absolutely love the bed if the truck, but I'm curious why the gooseneck ball is behind the axle. I know it wasn't your build, but if that trailer is loaded down, the front wheels of the truck will be up in the air. Again, not being a jackass, just curious. Also, this video is entirely too short.
+SV Seeker if you need anything machined I am available and ready to get machining .I have lathes, mills, CNC cutting, and many many more.
I have been doing some calculations of heat transfer in your keel. I don't know thickness or surface area exactly but check out formulas here
www.engineersedge.com/heat_transfer/thermal_conductivity.htm
Where's that ROV you been working on? Love to see some test vids!
+Ben Volesky Getting back to the ROV in July/Aug Working in the shop and on the lake will be welcomed.
+SV Seeker awesome! That how I found your channel:) keep grinding away!
Your neighbors must love you! #GrindingMcGrinderGrind
+TimmyTechTV They do. And I love them. Good working people understand work. Sorry if you don't have good neighbors.
well done.
must allways be careful of the outside ring
You are doing a great job on boat, I've been watching since you started, it will be great when she is floating and completing your dream.
The welds on those keel plates are going to have to be absolutely 100% tight to keep the bilge water out of the cavity. Any plans to pressure-test them?
There are DIY projects out there that adapt the HF power threader to run the ring/tube roller. Someone sells a parts kit for that too. There's a mod to insert a bottle jack to push the top roller but that does limit the diameter. The impact wrench beats a ratchet, that's for sure!
look for an undercoating spray gun. dont know if horrible freight has them but maybe pep boys?
Great video, never long enough for me. Haven't seen the grandson in the videos lately, is he still a boat builder in training?
now that the lead is poured i need to get out there and get my hands dirty
+Jim Squirrel It will be good to see you again.
When rolling rings, run the steel through one way, then the other for each successive pass. You wasted a LOT of steel on the one you showed.
Awesome update Doug! Just wish they were a bit longer :) So much fun to watch
I continue to be amazed by your dedication to this project and the hard work done by all. Its a long hard road to success.
I feel like I know the Seeker like the back of my hand. Love watching this boat come into existence .
Nice work,the mast and sails are very interesting stuff.
Always a blast to watch
The four people who don't like this video: What's the problem?
I thought venturi effect requires a larger exhaust port to create vacuum
Your awesome! Keep it up ! You are an amazing inspiration!!!
can you put the new zealand flag on plz then it would be the best
Amazing work. Thanks for sharing.
is this a re-upload?
It looks different at the start
+Palerider1942 Yes. Sorry about that.
Bien mon gars vous voyer grand et gros affaire à suivre bravo à tous
Hey Im curious, what do your neighbors think of the project? Any problems with the noise?
+uneducatedboy They think it's cool. And they work, (real work) for a living and understand that noise is part of work. As often as I get asked this question it pains me to thing about how many people out there who must have ass holes for neighbors.
hey keeep up the good work.. what happened to the flag :(
You guys are the coolest old people I know.
That truck bed is kick ass!
Still so cool watching you guys create
Have you thought about putting a hex nut on your bender so the same impact wrench you use to adjust the radius could be used to power it?
+Cody Carse That would work. It would be annoying, but it would work. :) This too: th-cam.com/video/0Om9-7Lh1SY/w-d-xo.html
$hit happens, but nice save on the port hole.
I love your videos, I have gone back and watched from the start. I know you are busy building a holding down a full time job, but I LOVED the 40 minute long videos. Any chance they will make a come back?
+Jay Sam All depends on what there is to film. For example, we filmed making 2 rings, but we made 9. It just a lot more of the same thing. :)
+SV Seeker thanks for the reply! One of the aspect I thought was really great was all explanations on what and why. Keep on doing what you love.
Your first project when the boat is finished is find out what happened to all the oil in the gulf of Mexico.
+Ben Mitch I'll certainly be happy to give the researchers a cheap ride.
wow, things are really moving now,
41 minutes in and already 125 views! Love your stuff. Long way to the ocean from there......how you planning to get there? Hope to be down that way in June.
He has a video explaining how.
I'll check it out.
how long till its ready for the water?
PS: They have long handles as well.
like always , good stuff.
Best channel on TH-cam
Are you sandblasting before you apply the epoxy?
+Master GP yes
thanks for the update Doug
Simply amazing very time.
I love the videos! I hope you continue them while on adventures.
+cavereric Thanks. That is the plan.
where did you get the mizzen mast i would like to get one for flag pole ?
+don oakley tulsa.craigslist.org/bfs/5490636044.html
Pas tout compris qu'es que vous voulez faire avec tout les tubes à plus bon courage
+Michel du72 mât pour les voiles
Second.
Longer videos, Please
So well edited. Good Job.
What about using the mast to make a mandrill and construct the foremast out of carbon fiber?
+cole hankins We're a Junk. Not going for the America's Cup. :)
+SV Seeker I understand and love all the videos. I just think that the 30 galvanized pole is very heavy and not a good application for a mast. are you planning to support it with stays and shrouds? I guess I will just have to wait and see. Keep up the good work
Love your videos, hate to be your neighbour.
+Analog Kid Thanks, and I love my neighbors and my neighbors love us so there are no openings anyway.
Upload
second!
Why do you have to cover the lead with the steel plates?
+lanpartypro It seals the keels off from oxygen. Once the available oxygen is used up, they will not rust.
where is that sv seeker snapchat and instagram?
+Ian Moore Sorry. Too much boat building. We do FaceBook and a Blog.
Loved the ending.
Doug, what does the cold tar epoxy do?
+Living the Dream It just an awesome paint. Not pretty, but very functional.
Nice closing !
thanks Seeker.
Sweet thanks
looking good
