Rock the Merrygolds! Protect the old hands! Love your playing and Singing!
Thanks so much, next time I might wear them while playing guitar haha
Yes you can call it the bow cany because it's at the front of the boat !!! When you try to smooth out filler use a wet flat edge, dip in water. Looking forward to more in the next one. Keep going entertaining us 😁
owww I like that...bow cany. thanks for the tip will definitely give that a go for when I redo it haha :)
Filling in a crevice early in the morning is the perfect time😊
It sure is!
You'll have to get Beck's to invest in a 'POWER-SANDER' .... You can keep it next to 'THE TITAN!!' 😎
Woaw now there's an idea...the Titan could do with a friend , we always feel so sorry for him 😢
I do love these diy educational videos; they let me know that after all the years I’ve been doing diy! I’ve been doing it correctly all along. 🙂
thank you, yes this is the exact right way of doing it, I pride myself on my education videos haha
Agree the goggles look cool. All the videos where people aren't protecting their eyes/using protection make me want to scream, lol.
thats one thing im pretty good at it actually...I think people just forget
As a retired painter it was bloody painful watching the. Roof repair funny as mate love ya work cheers n beers Marty Australia
I can understand....its all so new to me...stick with me haha
Well done mate
You can use a Surform to remove the excess filler, then sand for the final finish.
Don't try to fill it all in one go. If you have holes in the filler you've worked it too much or you are trying to put too thick a layer on.
Thanks interesting thank you for your advice
The thrill of getting covers for the Wombat!! Looking Lovely! Nothing better than a nice cuppa in the well deck, especially when it’s raining & cosy. On the stern, just be aware with Tonneau style covers like you have that you can get water pooling in the middle when it rains. So ideally you’d have an arm bracket across from the sides to raise the centre (i.e create a ‘hump’)so the water runs off. It just becomes a bit of a chore having to chuck the water off before you get on I found otherwise!
It's amazing to finally have them finished, yes we have now a new mechanism in place for the rain water.. it was a very technical operation...it involved a lot bit of woof resting through the middle, thanks for your Intresting information
@@TheNomadicCrobot oh that’s fab! Glad you’re not learning the hard way on that like me! ✌️
That's some amazing diy skills. That cratch cover is another room. I sit in mine all the time. Best place for a signal. ha ha Hello Chris and becca
its a great little room..that will soon be infested with spiders..haha im trying with diy but I have a long way to go haha, were abouts are you Will?
@@TheNomadicCrobot I'm up at Denver Sluice fitting a new cambelt on my van. Your in my next vlog Chris.
@@NarrowboatWill oh still down this way then..denver sluice haunts me everywhere I go...I can't get away from it haha...oh awesome I look forward to it...we're actually taking the boat out for a spin tomorrow bow we have an easier slot to get out at the marina..yay
@@TheNomadicCrobot oooh enjoy
You could almost make a drinking game out of the "that's what she said" opportunities...
haha you really could
Great episode because bec will love the work you have done this week love your channel always look forward to what you are up to
thanks for watching, I tired...though it doesn't look great...hopefully if I can get a colour match it will help blend things in
Chris you need to put at least an undercoat on the red primer as primer is porous so when it rains it will soak up the water. Undercoat is waterproof and will prevent this.
oh really, I thought the red oxide was a a kinda undercoat, I did put a rust repellent on there too, shows how much I now...well it looks like it might have to come up again anyway :(
Great video, the cratch covers are brilliant, very well made and local to you as well
Yeah they are great, we are really happy with them ☺️
Hey, ultimate bodging #237 if you don't have an applicator for the filler, cover it in clingfilm and push flat - leave clingfilm until it has gone off, then, yay, less sanding required!!!!
Brilliant thanks very much...iv actually got a professional coming up tomorrow 👍
@@TheNomadicCrobot Ah thats brilliant - they will probably take 'the hole' back quite a way! Look forward to the update!!
You mister Chris did a cracking job ! Your becoming more confident with your abilities. I’m sure Becca is very proud of you ! Actually don’t like the yellow marigold !! Lol no mister Titan this week either ! Hey ho never mind !! X see you two on the next one !
awww thanks, its not great but all learning, no I feel sorry for the Titan...he seams to be hibernating. oh what your not a fan of the yellow marigold??? such a satisfying instrument , see you on the next one :)
@@TheNomadicCrobot black gloves go better with “ The mighty TITAN ! Lol “
Whoop 🙌🏼
The boat is looking great. I’m watching your guys vids from #1. The way ya’ll tackle the obstacles with optimistic enthusiasm inspires me to get more of my DIY projects completed. I have s**t every where too! 😬 rock on 🤘🏼
haha cheers buddy, you have to give it go dont you, it can only get easier ...cant believed iv avoided diy for this long haha
Great effort Chris sorting the projects while Becca is away. Sure she will be impressed. Best wishes, D
at least im trying.. haha thanks for bearing with me haha
Great job!
Thanks!
Job well done - crater coverage was planned w/ 4 coatings & protected for 10 or more years using marine paint - the artisans are likely to call the paint color Titanic blue
oh awesome, sounds like marina filler could be the way to go, thanks ....im not sure about using the word Titanic just yet haha
Hi mate it’s well worth you investing in a random orbital sander would make your life so much easier when sanding stuff back
I think we may have one actually, I just didn't wanna go in to hard, thanks for advice :)
Nice work today bec will be happy when she sees the work you put in this week on the boat another great episode
thanks...I mean it didn't really go to plan...but have to try, im sure it will get easier
@@TheNomadicCrobot im sure it will. .had alook at those links you sent to me or my wife your music is pretty good i like it
The covers look excellent. Good choice in colour 👍🏻🚢
I think there great, finally after a year and all the leaking problems :) cheers
Hi Chris, Your a busy Bee in this episode. The new Cratch-Cover looks very smart, and you roof is looking much better now that you have filled the crevice in. All very impressive. An excellent well crafted and edited Vlog (your a natural) . Thank you. Take Care.
thanks so much, so sweet of you, I do have a feeling the crevice may need a 2nd attempt but will see, at least I gave it a go, the covers are great...so happy to finally cancel out the horrible leak, have a great week take care :)
Classy cratch cover. Looks awesome
thanks...were so happy to have an extra little room now...very posh haha
glad the hole is fixed no more letting in water from above keep it up i enjoy your wonderful repairs and the enjoyment your going to get once all is sorted 👍
thanks but I have a feeling I may need to redo it at some point haha cheers Phil
A crevice in a crevice 😂😎
Cratch cover looks great Chris. Little tip for any future bodywork repairs after you’ve sanded the area before you paint it wipe it down with white spirit to remove and dust and grime. Good job on the filling tho for your first time.
there great im so pleased with them, thanks so much for the tips...so new to all this DIY stuff, but its all fun and learning , cheers Mark
And now the kiss of life!😆
exactly haha
Well done Chris at least you tried completing the tasks have a good week
I gave it a go 😄 haha, I'm sure it gets easier have a great week
Wow Chris you’re becoming the real little handy man, bet Beccs was really happy when she got back. LOVE the covers they look brilliant. More laughs, thanks heaps for that though don’t know if my husband was impressed at 02:18 but I enjoyed. Ta heaps and see you both soon. 💕
yes im pretty sure Becca will appreciate it all, the good and bad....more so that bad haha the covers are great im well pleased, thank you , bex gets back this week :)
You should have bought a small can of black paint so you could darken it a bit to truly match some red as well.
We did actually in the end,thanks for watching
EPIC!!
epic hole !! haha
There's a paint shop near us that could possibly match the paint colour. 👍
@@Vinnyschannel we actually have one just round the corner but I just got lazy and didn't think haaa cheers though buddy 👍
Hello mate, glad you got some use out of the drone footage hehe. I feel famous 😂. Cratch covers look bloomin awesome, really looks great. Lady Crobot will love em. (I know she’s probably see em by now haha) Keep em coming buddy. PS her foreskin 😂😂😂
great footage I was saving it really so was hoping to use a bit more in a few more episodes, love it, thanks so much, see you are now running through the veins of our channel haha the covers are awesome...hopefully no more leaks, take care buddy :)
@@TheNomadicCrobot sounds good to me. haha I’m very proud to be a very VERY small part of the Crobot phenomenon 😉
yes, no more leaks needed buddy 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼stay safe mate.
Just a word of warning Chris never plug a fan heater or high current device in to an extension lead this is a real fire hazards especially if the extension lead is coiled up !.
oh interesting thanks for the advice :)
@@TheNomadicCrobot No problem Chris basically when you have say a 3kw fan heater operating from an extension particularly a coiled extension the extension is acting as a massive resistor and can heat up to dangerous levels.
I just want to make sure you guys stay safe and don't put yourselves at unnecessary risk.
Big hugs to both of you and keep up the good work ☺️
@@user-mp8nb5zd2s thank you, I don't think about these things until its to late haha thanks again
Leg of swan and fizzle of fish.
haaa
Blue paint bit too light put bit in a pot add a drop of black at a time I mean a drop see if can get it closer for time been.
Filler stuff mix on a bit of tin or card easier
Steve
its funny because I did think of adding some black. I think im probably going to hunt a colour match now, thanks for your tip
Nice use of the pallet knife, not really the best thing to use, but when needs must I suppose that will do. Just a thought painting that top bit heart ❤️ shaped would have been a nice feature.. Haha Bowcony
no I have a feeling I may need to redo the whole lot...haha, the more hearts the better on this boat...she needs love, thanks
I'm really enjoying the videos of your journey. As for the filler, I once saw a demonstration about using filler from one of the companies who make the stuff. They recommended that you mix the two parts on a flat surface and fold together as stirring introduces air bubbles.
oh thats really interesting, ill have to look into this, that would make a lot of sense because its not looking great haha, thanks for sticking with me :)
Great job Chris 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love the cratch cover balcony/conservatory. While you may not have the skills that Bex has….nothing personal….you create and edit very entertaining videos. Have a good week and watch out for fish dropping from the sky, that can’t be a good sign 🤔. 😊🤗 Kathy
the covers are great hopefully no more leaks coming in from that part of the boat, yes my DIY skills aren't great...im better of making tea and acting stupid haha thanks Kathy
@@TheNomadicCrobotpat yourself on the back. Your comedic skills as well as your editing skills are brilliant! Have a good day. 😄
@@ruaidhrikathygill8833 haha thank you 😊
The poor Whistling Wombat, from roof crevasse to looking like it's sustained a painful head injury 😂
it is actually like a giant head injury the poor sod....I think I may need a new action plan haha
Well that made for uncomfortable viewing 😂 you can top coat directly over the filler no need for the red metal primer (that’s for priming metal) 😉
thanks, and sorry haha..yeah we just thought extra protection...but it seams to have come back to haunt us haha cheers Toby
Laughs for days , The Turd & Her foreskin. Chris too funny mate.
thanks for enjoying my sick humour haha
Could of been a Heron, the fish had a hole toward its dorsal fin.🤷🏼♂️🤔
yes someone else said it could have been dropped.... trust me to blame the poor fisherman
Chris, get the right paint colour 👌
im on it...its already bugging me haha
Our cratch is affectionately called the sea balcony
owwww I like it....can I use it ??
@@TheNomadicCrobot go for it. What else are you gonna call it? A 'canal-cony'?? Nah that's well whack
A blue is better than the red of the primer but finding a better match on the blue will make you a lot happier with the job. It's still likely to not match perfectly but it won't be so jarring a difference.
yes im going to go on a hunt and get a real colour match...its already frustrating me haha
@@TheNomadicCrobot I'm not surprised. Things like that drive me bonkers.
When sanding put a bit of wood in it to get a straight edge..
yes im going to try that a bit more next time cheers Aaron
It’s so painful to watch 😂
you wanna try doing it haaaa
wrong tool wrong job, lol
haha... maybe ill leave it to Bex
Bowcony lol. Could a bird have dropped the fish there?
thats a very good point...I never thought off that...poor fishermen getting the blame
I've seen some abominations in my time 🤣
try not to rub it in haha
Suspect it's a bird that left the fish on your boat. Maybe trying to be friends? A crow left me a tiny statue of a Hindu god a while ago because I gave it some peanuts. 😊
I think you may be right, trust me to attack the poor fishermen haha woaw...birds and there gifts...amazing...I look forward to more :)
Mysterious holes? Check. Black gloves? Check. I thought you were talking about me at first. No, you really don't want to know what that's all about.
The good news about working with body filler is that you can't really go too far wrong. You can sand it, even after priming it, and get it perfect. Will you be able to just paint the patch? Nope. Sorry, that just won't happen, nt even if yoy really really know what you're doing.. You will need to paint a small area around the patch no matter what.
The cratch covers look really good. It's nice to have that extra bit of space....uh, I guess you know a lot about space....I mean space on your boat. "Well deck solarium" sounds pretty posh. Ot you could just call it the Titan Deck.
owww thats a good name..ill have to use that...were very posh here at robot towers now haha it could just become the titans very own personal roomies I have a funny feeling im going to have to do the whole filler job again, haha...black gloves and mysterious holes hey??? I won't ask haha :)
Shouldn’t you be saying, “Let’s Get Cratching? “
haha I love it !!!
@@TheNomadicCrobot or sing that song SCat Cratch Fever
That doesn't look like marine filler to me. Proper epoxy marine filler should be equal parts A & B. What you've used might be called "marine" but in reality it isn't much better than ordinary car body filler. Might still last though.
it said marine filler on the tin but I dont thin k you actually need marine filler for the job on the roof, its probably a bit much, oh thats interesting...maybe they just put marine on there to make it look expensive and sell it for more
To me it looked like gel coat filler which is a marine filler but for grp boats
Get the Wright paint it will only keep pissing you off every time you see it if you don't.
yes im thinking I probably will especially for the top..its already annoying me haha
