Looking svelte Mr. Jacques! Your missus has done a number on you! As always, love the detail of the joinery, us mere mortals need guidance. Thanks. It might be a "task" to produce these videos but they have proved invaluable to me and countless others. Can't wait to see you majestically cruise away, never to be heard of again! Unless you choose different!!
Hello colin absolutely fantastic series of videos I only found your channel a weak ago and have watched every episode and also from a newly retired bathroom fitter I find it amazing to see you work exactly the same way as I do push on and keep going always surrounded with clutter and pure determination to see the job through well done I love your work
well I must say Mr Jaques your looking very slim the new diet is definitely doing you good, have watched all you're progress with the boat and can't wait to see it when it is finally finished.
Good to see you back Colin. It looks like you had a fantastic holiday, just what the doctor ordered, and, with the diet, you're loking well. Good to see you've lost none of your craftmanship and even Trevor's feeling the benefit! Good on you, mate.
I hope you are feeling better..I love all your work, you are an amazing craftsman I love your workmanship. If you ever get to the stage we’re you are ready to air B & B the barge please let me know!! X
Awesome videos Colin.....Re diet look inti the Ketogenic diet, High Fat Low carb, it will boost your mental and physical energy. Not very cake friendly i am afraid.
I thought someone had been messing around with the settings on my screen. No, Colin is looking slim. Mrs Crimble has sadly gone out of business. Looking forward to seeing the boat in the water.
You’re looking svelt already. Stick with it and you will find more energy. Interesting episode and glad Trevor got a leg transplant! Thanks Cindy for the edits.
It's good to see you again making more progress. Trevor looks great with his new leg, and wow those leather shorts, very becoming, he just needs some yellow braces now. Shame about the cake breaks, l took a similar stance, to make a narrower bloke for the narrow boat which worked for about a year, but l did miss me biscuits and cake, and so l thought "Oh what the heck" l'll keep some in the well deck, the next boat may have to be a wide beam. 😆
Well done Colin, good luck with the diet, you are already looking really well on it. Cant wait to see the sofa go in. Must be just about there now... The jury is still out on Trevor's leather studded cod piece and his chains tho :/
love the videos. the slats... did you cut them down 'all from one end' or did you trim each end... to keep the spring even... if you know what I meen... I'd love to see more of how you constructed the frames. 'as in what size, wood and ply you are using Cheers
Ian Spellman Paul from loom-tech , he does a site visit to discuss your requirements he then make the wiring loom in his workshop and then posts it to you 2 weeks later. You can then install it . I Fitted all my lights and connections myself.cost was around £1200 for that with ce paperwork.At the end of fit out I had him come over and supply me custom fuse board and 3k inverter and do all the battery leads etc .look him up on internet.He doesn’t come over for a chat , he only comes if you want to go ahead with it, he invoices you when he has measured up .Definitely recommend him .
Diet eh? Did your's make you go to a gym to do exercise? I remember the letter from the gym said "Wear loose fitting clothing", so I wrote back and said "If I had any loose fitting clothing I wouldn't need to use a gym".
Found this on Friday 2 Oct. Watched all over the W/end. Fantastic craftsman and all round funny chap. Looking forward.

Congratulations Colin. You will never be a Trevor but you will feel so much better.
First class job Colin
Thanks, all the best Colin.
When you have your maiden cruise after finishing all your hard work, I'm sure Trevor would love to be there with you to record it for everyone.
Not many chippy's left in the UK Colin !
Thanks for the update on progress! All looking great 👍🏼
I think you should have named this vlog, Trevors New Coat. Great to see you back on the boat build.
Aww, well deserved Trevor. :)
Colin you are looking great congratulations and keep up the healthy diet. Loved holiday picks.
Good to see you back Colin. It looks like you had a fantastic holiday, just what the doctor ordered, and, with the diet, you're loking well. Good to see you've lost none of your craftmanship and even Trevor's feeling the benefit! Good on you, mate.
LOL, I'm also going to narrow myself before I'm ready to live on my narrowboat... Welcome back. :o)
Good to see you’re back. The sofa looked great. The slats are an excellent idea because those sofas can be really hard and very uncomfortable. Thanks.
I hope you are feeling better..I love all your work, you are an amazing craftsman I love your workmanship. If you ever get to the stage we’re you are ready to air B & B the barge please let me know!! X

Funny, a twenty mile round trip is nothing, then I remembered you're in the UK, twenty miles is a chunk of land there, not like the US. ;-D

Great work.👍
Hope alls going well Colin
Hi Hope you had a nice holiday , did you take Trev? Looking forward to seeing your vlog .

the slats... did you cut them down 'all from one end' or did you trim each end... to keep the spring even... if you know what I meen...
I'd love to see more of how you constructed the frames. 'as in what size, wood and ply you are using

Dear Lord man! Get the blade guard back in place on that surface planer and use push blocks to keep your fingers away from the blades.
Bit late in the day now for all that stuff!! All the best to you .
amazing as usual
👍👍👍
Collin I’m fitting out a narrow boat , and was wondering would you recommend your electrician and what was your cost ? Love your videos 👍

Colin Jaques - Narrowboat Build thank you for getting back so quick 👍 can’t wait for next video you all stay safe 😀
Hope you are ok we are getting withdrawal symptoms waiting for the next episode
hope you took Trevor with you on Holliday ,or did you leave him at home to look after the boat.
Regards dave
Diet eh? Did your's make you go to a gym to do exercise? I remember the letter from the gym said "Wear loose fitting clothing", so I wrote back and said "If I had any loose fitting clothing I wouldn't need to use a gym".
Looks like Trevor is going to the Oscars 😂
Ahh, the Norwegian fjords !! Isn't that what the parrot from that Monty Python sketch was "pining for" ? 😂
When’s the next video guys ????
what no more cake?
