Nice channel. Interesting to see how you tackle things. I recomment to cover you windows when using an angle grinder. Once sparks are flying onto them they burn into the glass and the aluminium and damage your windows forever. Success with the continuation of your project. Best regards, Felix from Holland.
Hi Felix Thank you very much. I mostly make it up as I go along 😅 yes you are right I should have covered up all the windows. It would suck to have to change them because of laziness. I will do that the next time before I start grinding 😊👍
I’m so glad to have found your channel and that you are rescuing that beautiful boat. For future reference, I have found that Milwaukee brand reciprocating saw blades called the Torch last a long time and are able to cut very straight as they are a full 1 inch wide and follow a line very well. Best of luck to you and Heidi.
More pushing and puling rather than bashing it with hammer 😂but it has got the job done keep it up a mig welder has less heat ense less distortion your doing fine 😊
Yes I might have gotten a little carried away with the hammer 😅😂 but yes you are right. I actually have got a small Mig welder and I think I’ll use I for the overhead welds from now on. The rest i am still going to do with the stick just because I have bought all the electrodes already 😊
You are absolutely right. There is an intentionally crown to the deck. The deck beam I got rolled to match the crown just wasn’t rolled enough. But it is now so I can start installing it. Thank you for your reply 😊👍
Yes I did consider a plasma torch. But then I would get in trouble with the epoxy and I would have to by an air compressor to supply the torch. The saw felt like a quicker way to get started cutting. But a plasma torch is definitely on my wish list😊👍
get yourself some steel boat building books,,, Gilbert Klingel,,, Thomas Colvin,, Ian Nicholson, a hydraulic 10 ton bottle jack, scrap lengths of 50mm RHS and angle iron, don't remove any plating or structural members without first bracing it in original position, doing a swell job, best of luck
Thank you very much for the comment and the references😊👍 I’ll se what I can find. And yes maybe I should have braced it off before cutting but hopefully I can get it back to the original position with the help of the winch or a jack and then the old deck beam for reference.
Now I’ve found you that’s 4 metal boats I am following, only advice I can offer is that you make all areas of the boat, especially below the water line accessible as regular inspection is required as steel boats rust out from the inside
Thank you very much for following and for your reply 😊 yes you are quite right. It is definitely something that we will have to keep in mind. One of our goals is to have as many openings in the interior as possible both for this reason and for storage. 😊
No unfortunately it’s not fixed yet. It is actually right where we left it in the last video. I have been at work offshore for the last 4 weeks but I’m going home in a couple of days. Then we can continue the work and get to make another video 😊👍 Thank you very much for asking 😊
deck beam👍 Enjoying the video! looking good!
Thank you and thanks for watching 😊👍

Thank you very much we are glad you like it 😊 That sounds like a very good tip. I will definitely se if I can get some of those blades 👍

Great content! Can you create a playlist of the refit/reconstruction so I can save it for easier updates? Thanks!
Thank you very much 😊 we will make a playlist with the restoration if that makes things easier 👌👍😊
Diablo metal cutting blade on a circular saw work great.
We will keep that in mind when we chose our weapons of choice 😊👍
Perhaps, I can not tell from here, there was an intentional crown to the deck to help shed water? Just an armchair observation well after the fact.

Videos keep getting better! Cheers!
Thank you very much. It’s a learning curve 😁👍
U can use a diamond cutter blade as well when u buy Milwaukee blade two kinds of blade inch flat and pointed blade for corners
Thank you very much for the tip 😊👍 and thanks for watching 😁
Is the shoe on that saw adjustable in and out might make things easier and use more area of the blade
Yes it is adjustable but I simply forgot to do it 😅 I’ll try to remember that the next time I have to cut 👍
GOOD JOB .
Thank you very much 😁👍
The flat iron is a “DECK BEAM”
THANK YOU!! 😊👍👍 Now I can stop saying flat iron 😅
Just drill a hole in a bottom for a drain
Hahaha yeah that sounds like a good idea until we get her in the water then it might evolve into a different kind of problem 😅😅
U need too buy Milwaukee blade it’s better and u can cut mre and its not ez too get dall
Thanks for the tip. We will definitely try them. You are not the first to mention that type of blade 😊👍
the flat iron is called flat stock iron
Thank you 😊👍
U have to weld on both side for better strength 😊
It would be nice to only have to weld on the topside. But yes you are right I will weld on both sides for optimal strength 👍
Maybe try a plasma torch instead of recip saw,great for thin sheet metal.
Yes I did consider a plasma torch. But then I would get in trouble with the epoxy and I would have to by an air compressor to supply the torch. The saw felt like a quicker way to get started cutting. But a plasma torch is definitely on my wish list😊👍
Progress
Little by little we will get there 😊👍
They are called ceiling Joyce or floor Joyce
Thank you very much 😊👍
deck beam
Thanks 😊👍
Don’t waste your tym on those ordinary blades get Milwaukee blade it’s better than what ur using
Thank you very much. I will definitely get some Milwaukee blades 😊👍
@@SYCarla Milwaukee blades are Taft on hard metal i even used Thais blade on cast iron tub
Wow sounds strong 😊👍

would add non stop circulation fans with dedicated solar cells. Circulation is the enemy of damp and condensation.
That sounds like a great idea thanks for the tip 😊👍
If you V groove that plate out enough from the top then just weld it from the top. We call them deck supports.
That is exactly what we will try to do going forward to save us the extra work of welding it twice. Thanks for your comment 😊
Awesome mate great episode well done 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!! 😁 Loving your tropical cyclone reports 👍👍
Weld a couple of nuts on there for lifting hooks
Great tip 😊👍 thanks.
Good start to a long Job. well done.
Thank you 😊👍
flap disk in English.
Thanks 😊👍
bravo
Thanks 👍😊
Hows ur sailboat is it fixed and hope ev r a ok now
