Here's what I like most about your videos: You... • Identify an issue to be addressed • Articulate your thoughts when exploring potential solutions • Show the process of executing the solution • Share your thoughts when problems are encountered • Exhibit unusual creativity in saving money to still achieve professional results • Critique the final outcome versus your original vision That helps us mere mortals realize that, when a plan deviates from expectations, a level head and some ingenuity can get you through to acceptable results. - Fair winds and following seas, Sam
also do not buy any tool from harbor freight that requires high quality heat treated steel. They are single use throw away tools otherwise. I am not knocking harbor freight, it is just the reality of it. I shop there all the time.
On the bug zapper, cut some of those black strips off than run horizontally around the unit. On mine the bugs sat on them. I cut a load off and now the fly right in easy. They make a right noise too 🤣. I got the 4000 version.
Before you bend straight rod or plate, heat it with a small torch like a Burnzomatic to prevent stress fractures in the future. Always use lubrication when using a tap and die set. And a cap from a 20oz to 2 liter bottle of soda is the same size as the water inlets for washers.
a couple of tricks I use - I have used teak sawdust as the thickener in my epoxy to fill in screw holes. I also tape the underside of deck holes and fill grind back some material and fill with thickened epoxy. I cut a plastic strip from a butter container and tuck it into the hole in a circle and it holds the thickened epoxy in place while it cures. It easily releases from the epoxy.
When using dyes to cut threads you need cutting oil. Sold most places that sell tap and dyes. Then every turn or half turn run the dye in reverse then back forward. It’ll be much easier and you’ll wind up with much better threads.
I am really enjoying the daily Vlog. I love the sailing obviously but enjoy watching the little projects required to keep an older boat in good condition. I’m doing many of the same projects on our first sailboat.
I'm no expert but when you're cutting threads with a die or a tap its best to go forward a ways then back off to clear the debris, taking it nice and slow. You'll get some nice clean threads that way.
As others have suggested; you need to use some oil when cutting and tapping. Also, only go a little at a time, backing off a bit then threading a bit more each time. Lube it in-between backing off and going forward. If you can't get cutting oil, any motor oil will work in pinch.
Hey Sam, just a note. You must use oil or some other kind of lubricant when you are threading the steel rod. Especially if it’s stainless steel. I find that three in one oil works really well put a couple drops on, turn the die a quarter of a turn back it off and then turn it another quarter of a turn back it off, etc. Continue to add the three in one oil as you work your way down the rod
tip on using a die, You dont make the cut in one process. you go a few turn, then back it out to clear the cut medal, then go forward again a few turns. Keep repeating the process till you have all the threads you want. Also use cutting oil like you do when drilling. Tip for next time.
I think you could be a sailboat designer. You're always creating... I like to see your mind at work fixing problems. One example on this was the fix for the chain locker being too small since you prefer a heavier anchor and chain. Not so many people anchor. You are a work in process... creating, fixing problems... definitely a creative mind.
Don't want to give you more projects, but here is one that I think you might like: On my CD28 I cut the counter above the engine out and made it removable. This gives me really good access to the engine. With this arrangement I can actually change the shaft packing without having to squeeze below the cockpit through the cockpit hatch doors. Next I am going cut/open up the plywood dividers under the cockpit to give me better access under the cockpit sole. It is really tight under there.
Hey, Sam! The trick with threading is: The diameter of the material should be approximately 0,1 - 0.2 mm less than the screw, you want to have. And on steel you have to use oil! For drilling and threading aluminum you should use kerosene! Try it! And next time you will have a high class result! 😜👍 Success, and best wishes from Germany!
I can’t even get my boat tasks done as quickly with two hands . Your one handed filming is great and managing to complete the boat task with great agility with your other hand .
Love the daily Vlogs. You're one of the few sailing channels I've watched where you seem truly motivated to get back out on the water. You have a goal, created a plan to make it happen, and are implementing your plan with relentless focus. You're a humble, hardworking guy. I wish you all the best on your upcoming crossing. Well done, Sam.
Daily dose of the best sailing channel out there. I can't wait to go along for the ride when he finally sets sail. Thanks Sam. I'd love to join you on a passage someday.
Hey, washing machine drain line need to loop up at least as high as the water level you desire in the drum during operations. Otherwise, water will just drain out and not wash properly.
I highly recommend a right angle drill attachment. I use em for tight spots when I'm hanging sheetrock, didn't even think of the magnitude of having that on my boat. Genius!
I really enjoy your videos. You are definitely not cut from the usual American cloth. You find inventive ways to get things done where the average US citizen would just give up and get brand new! I grew up in Rhodesia where if you could not make a plan, you went without.
Hey Sam, to help your vice hold smaller diameter round stock wrap the stock in a few wraps of brown paper bag. The bag has some clay in it so it will grip quite tight and will also protect the stock from your serrated vice jaws. Also being slightly under nominal size for threading is crucial, not sure how one might accomplish this though without a lathe. Then again I never understand how people get through life without a lathe 😊
I did the same thing with my cockpit lockers. A clip on the locker end is a good idea so you can easily remove the rope if you want to get it out of the way to have access to larger items.
When you're using a dye to cut new threads turn it 1/8 to 1/4 turn then back it off to clear the material you just cut. Continue this process all the way to the end of what you're threading. If you don't clear the dye that material will jamb your tool and tear the threads you're trying to cut.
Love the daily vlogs 👍, it’s great seeing all the projects getting completed before the big push off across the big pond⛵️⛵️, keep up the great content
Those dies are just thread chasers, used to clean up existing but damaged threads. To cut new threads you need a split, adjustable die. Instead of attempting to cut the thread in one pass which just winds up tearing the metal, you take several passes while tightening the die before each pass. Of course using plenty of oil.
14:23 "got to be careful with this much bling on board" hahahah that got me. Sam, you have some good one liners. On a side note...are you going to be putting a tracking link to provide real-time position updates on your patreon page like SV delos does?
Use cutting/drilling oil. I use CT90 in uk. Makes a massive difference and the effort. Great videos by the way. I enjoy your workshop videos now just as much as the sailing ones. And as for “Fragilay”.... that’s almost as good as “made of chineseium” 😂
Sam, I am so glad you went to the daily video. I find it easier to keep track of what you are doing. Would you mind showing us where you located the outlets? Will that small unit heat your whole cabin? Thanks ⛵
Love the new format. As said previously, "Its my boat and I'll do what I want,' Those few times, more complicated for some of us, are special moments. Glad to see you are getting done with things the way you want. Thanks for sharing.
I used one of these zappers for a while but found it was killing a lot of predator bugs which defeated the purpose. I suppose it depends on what bugs you have, I spent a lot of time in the bush and used a mozzie net to kept them off
Mike you are right, I think the overkill might have been caused by the hunters hunting in the wrong place because of the abundance of prey. Used to find a lot of wasps and mantises. Which is why I stopped using the devices, we lived in dense rainforest so there was no shortage of bugs and we found that the local spiders once they set up camp did a pretty good job. Had a lot of those jumping spiders which are great to watch. Thanks for your comment
re the thread cutting with rod in vice. As others have said it's not the cutting that is the main resistance, it's friction and binding of swarf so lube and keep backing up. For gripping rod in a vice. Some thoughts (never tried these, except threading in a lathe) * find or make a slightly large squared section. drill a hole down the length of it. Make a cut along one edge. Insert your rod and tighten vice to close around rod. (should provide greater surface area to grip. * if it doesn't need to be round start with square section rod, turn ends in lathe. could turn down whole thing after threading if required. * but if you've got a lathe, as above, just thread it in that. * if you don't have a lathe but have a scrap yard nearby look for an old lathe chuck for jobs like this. *if you want to know how good epoxy is or isn't try setting the rod into a squared epoxy bed. Chip/grind/burn off later *if rod doesn't need to be straight put a kink in it for vice to grip * tack weld something grippable to it (assuming welding won't alter the particular steel you're using), grind of the weld later and polish. *delegate it to one of your helpers then mock them if they're taking too long and upload their struggle, remarking "....hard to get good help"
Drilling and threading stainless is tough, gummy stuff will tear and gall like that. You can try a better alloy like 17-4 or nitronic 60. Slow speed high feed for stainless and use lots of lube, bacon grease works well on stainless and every home has that. Quality tooling will help produce a better result as well. Keep up the good work!
While using the die you need to use lubricant, make 1fullmturn then go in reverse a quarter of a turn, then forward again. That will improve your threads.
I would say don't even do a full turn if its starting to be come difficult to keep going forward ie binding up, before you back it off 1/4 - 1/2 turn and lubricant will definitely help
Absolutely big fan for these daily Vlogs!! Please do keep em up Sam! To my taste, I like more of this style, authentic if you will, than of fancier edited ones with polished intros etc. ”Yes I am. This is my boat, and I can do what I want!” - loving it! 😀 my philosophy too
quarter to half turn of your die, then back it off a quarter turn. That breaks the chip. Just cranking that pipe wrench around in a circle is asking to break the die. and some cutting compound is necessary. Anything is better than nothing- motor oil if you have to.

You might want to keep that deck fill. Some marinas don't have potable water on tap, so you get bottles delivered which they pour in to the deck fill. At least the places I go anyway in the developing world where you can't drink the water.

Not sure if it was mentioned. You are misusing the die. When using a tap or die, turn it a half or 3/4 rotation and then reverse it the same.

Yes Sam you're right it's your boat and you will do what you want I like that that's setting them straight anyway you're both coming along really nice if you ever do need to take a break will be here waiting anyways God bless you Sam have a good day be safe from Ray Garrett Roseville California USA

Turn the locker latch upside down? I've been using a mosquito net since my cats made a cat door in the screen door, works well. Heat helps bending metal & will also temper it for Extra Strength!
Thanks Sam, Great Vlog, no complaints here 👍👏😊 how about a bug net over yr bed or covering the doorway? Like that sorting tray 👍 blingy dorade, Pickle lookin sharp 😁 Did u sort yr leakin roof?
You are going to spoil us with the daily vlogs. When you’re off on your big adventure there is going to be a a big SWWWS ( a Sam world wide withdrawal syndrome) sweeping the globe if we can’t get our fix!!
I am in the process of building out a short bus for travel and love your videos. I know it is two different areas but it is similar in ways. I would love to sail someday but I get seasick very easily ! haha
Concerning your little visitors in house or boat when not occupied the one sure thing I know works is moth balls not good for pet's or human smells but very efficient to repell unwanted pest. Good luck
Here's what I like most about your videos:
You...
• Identify an issue to be addressed
• Articulate your thoughts when exploring potential solutions
• Show the process of executing the solution
• Share your thoughts when problems are encountered
• Exhibit unusual creativity in saving money to still achieve professional results
• Critique the final outcome versus your original vision
That helps us mere mortals realize that, when a plan deviates from expectations, a level head and some ingenuity can get you through to acceptable results.
- Fair winds and following seas, Sam
And does most of it one handed whilst holding a camera!
Well said
With the dye, use lube and constantly go a half turn, back it up, then a little further, back it up. It helps keep the cut consistent
Yes, lots of lube, half turns to get rid of metal chips. SS is very gummy material, so sharp cutting tools help.
came here to write this.
I gasped when the pipe wrench made its appearance. Yikes!
also do not buy any tool from harbor freight that requires high quality heat treated steel. They are single use throw away tools otherwise. I am not knocking harbor freight, it is just the reality of it. I shop there all the time.
Def use oil when threading rod (or anything, really)
Cutting oil and back off the die often to release metal shavings. Love the daily show!
1 turn forward, 1/2 turn back. Repeat until you're done. You'll feel the chip break on the backward turn. Makes all the difference in the world.
You have a TIG welder. Cut the threads off a stainless bolt or stainless all thread, and TIG weld it to the end of the solid rod.
On the bug zapper, cut some of those black strips off than run horizontally around the unit. On mine the bugs sat on them. I cut a load off and now the fly right in easy. They make a right noise too 🤣. I got the 4000 version.

It’s my boat and I do what I want! Love it 😂 great how you create solutions for worn out things and poorly designed products, Thanks Sam, you are ok 👌
Yep, it was cool when he said that.
Today I learned that I have been storing my fastener collection properly all along.
Oh i could get used to these daily videos
We will enjoy them while they last, as soon as he set sail on the Atlantic voyage they will be gone!
@@CessnaPilot99 True! unless he gets starlink before then!

need oil to cut threads, and possibly a harder die to cut stainless. Secure the bent section to keep the rod from turning.

These daily vlogs have made me re-assess what it means to be productive. Your killin' it, Sam.
I highly recommend a right angle drill attachment. I use em for tight spots when I'm hanging sheetrock, didn't even think of the magnitude of having that on my boat. Genius!
Love the morning daily vlogs. Great way to start the day. Not that this matters to you, but they are great motivators for me.
After I watch Sam I take on more projects not related to sailing
I really enjoy your videos. You are definitely not cut from the usual American cloth. You find inventive ways to get things done where the average US citizen would just give up and get brand new! I grew up in Rhodesia where if you could not make a plan, you went without.

How was the comment made a week ago? My ui says the video was uploaded 2 hours ago, lol. Are you a time traveler?
@@Billy420-69 Muhahaha you discovered my secret..... Sadly not - the video was released to Patrons a week ago. Cheers!
I did the same thing with my cockpit lockers. A clip on the locker end is a good idea so you can easily remove the rope if you want to get it out of the way to have access to larger items.

Since bug zappers attract bugs it's the kind of gift you give your neighbor!
I used one of these zappers for a while but found it was killing a lot of predator bugs which defeated the purpose. I suppose it depends on what bugs you have, I spent a lot of time in the bush and used a mozzie net to kept them off
According to a biologist podcast, no biting bugs are attracted to light, just moths etc get zapped.
mosquitoes, flies don’t go near them
Mike you are right, I think the overkill might have been caused by the hunters hunting in the wrong place because of the abundance of prey. Used to find a lot of wasps and mantises. Which is why I stopped using the devices, we lived in dense rainforest so there was no shortage of bugs and we found that the local spiders once they set up camp did a pretty good job.

Drilling and threading stainless is tough, gummy stuff will tear and gall like that. You can try a better alloy like 17-4 or nitronic 60. Slow speed high feed for stainless and use lots of lube, bacon grease works well on stainless and every home has that. Quality tooling will help produce a better result as well. Keep up the good work!
While using the die you need to use lubricant, make 1fullmturn then go in reverse a quarter of a turn, then forward again. That will improve your threads.

If it starts to feel 2 tight, back it out all the way, clean hole, repeat.

You might want to keep that deck fill. Some marinas don't have potable water on tap, so you get bottles delivered which they pour in to the deck fill. At least the places I go anyway in the developing world where you can't drink the water.
Sam, harbor freight taps and dies are for thread repair not for thread cutting. What you need to get is an Irwin brand dye and it should cut threads for you okay. It should say on the package that it's for thread cutting and that's what you want.

Loving the videos mate! You are inspiring me to get a sail boat hah
Enjoying the vlogs also
Love from the UK!
Fun video! Thanks
I'm pretty sure I've seen you use a power hand planer - great for trim/square up a door vice a skill saw...
Great job! Your blogs are awesome.
Cheap dies suck! Also, try lubing them up good while you work.
Consider sorting in only a few types; wood screws, machine screws, large bolts, etc.
I ordered those led lights - glad to see them in action - they solve a problem for me. Maybe affiliate links would be good for you.

Love the new format.
When you make a tread like that.. you need cutting oil.. and you can't go only in one direction.. you go a quarter clockwise and then back..
Turn the locker latch upside down? I've been using a mosquito net since my cats made a cat door in the screen door, works well. Heat helps bending metal & will also temper it for Extra Strength!
It's my boat, I can do what I want. Yes...yes you can.
Take it to your local machine shop.
Thanks Sam, Great Vlog, no complaints here 👍👏😊 how about a bug net over yr bed or covering the doorway? Like that sorting tray 👍 blingy dorade, Pickle lookin sharp 😁

thanks Sam. Really like the daily vids!! I
Super video! I applauded for $5.00 👏👏
I am in the process of building out a short bus for travel and love your videos. I know it is two different areas but it is similar in ways. I would love to sail someday but I get seasick very easily ! haha
Love the daily blog Sam!
Okay!Should have watched to the end!
Love the daily vlogs Sam 👍👍 just don't over do yourself, you gotta keep life balanced ✌️
Agreed. Love the daily blog but only if manageable.
Really like your vlogs, watched most of your content, really looking forward to seeing you get back on the water.

I love the new vlog format. :)
