I've revived a couple of boats. Mostly because I couldn't afford a new one. Also the new ones don't have the class the old ones do.First was a 25' woody, second was a 32' cris craft, last was a aluminum 37'. When you're done, you will look back, and all the problems, work, skinned knuckles and the frustration will be worth it. You'll go out on your tender and look at your boat anchored in a pretty bay and burst with pride. I'm a senior now and just watch you young folks aquiring your dreams.
Gemma is a trooper she really is, not only has she had to put up with her rear end filmed for our entertainment, but a couple of videos ago I had to feel sorry for her while helping Simon hold down wood to be cut by sitting on it, those vibrations where terrible for her to endure, but she managed to smile though being very uncomfortable, without complaint, what a saint, 😂
Gemma. Today (March 19, 2022) you made me smile a lot. Quite a saucy girl you were being during this shoot! Love it!
Rove, Rove, Rove your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Gemma and Simon are such a great team!
Love your song! X
Email me your address so i can post you out a sticker, shiphappens1392@gmail.com
Simon facilitating the unnecessary OCD rove-shining-work is pure love. This is how you can do a project together.
Coming from someone that knows the struggles of mental illness firsthand, I myself had a mental breakdown in 2013 and struggle with different trials every day just to get through to the next! You guys are the light at the end of the tunnel! I look forward to seeing the completed dream that you both have. Hopefully one day I may be able to travel across the pond and see your beautiful Country. Pigeon Forge Tennessee here, home of Dolly Parton and The Great Smoky Mountains! Hopefully one day you guys may be able to come to our neck of the woods and see what Tennessee has to offer. Thanks for taking us along with you on your journey!
I'm 68 and have struggled with depression of varying degrees all of my life. I have worked hard at self care and healing my broken emotions over the past 10 years or so. One day at a time. I agree with you 100% , these videos are some of the best therapy I have every had. Absolutely love this family
Oh Gemma, what a gal. Love the progress you have made. Keep at it. Soon enough you'll be afloat and in the deep water.
Sure, the shiny roves will be pretty right up until you cover it all up. But I'm convinced that there is a substantial psychological benefit to one's motivation walking into a space and seeing something that makes one excited and brings one joy. That makes it all worth it to me.
You're one helluva lady whose hands don't shy from doing anything .
Keep your dreams alive with Humor and Love.
It's a joy to watch you two..The love you have for each other makes you guys unstoppable. The naysayers are just jealous because they don't have the commitment and dedication you have. Jolly good work ! Press on..........
Every nail is nearing the finish, and when your there every nail will be well worth it, another well done you two best team work I have seen for ages.
It’s amazing to see how much you’ve accomplished. She’s a grand old lady who’s definitely deserving of the attention.
I'm absolutely amazed by the way your ship (boat) is turning out. It warms my heart to see to see the that the both of you are saving our history and sharing it with us. I can't wait for the next episode... Your families RUclips channel is my favorite
Ror, row, row the boat, gently down the stream... and he forgot the safety glases again...jesus. And then that sweet little girl. That smile makes us all happy.
Simon is such a beautiful guy working away in the background doing a million little things. They add up, mate, they surely do. And wooden boats are just a pile of little pieces exactly shaped and arranged a certain way. Keep it up mate!
Best wishes for"22", maybe you should harden the tool tips to prevent the mushrooming. Keep up the good work I really enjoy the banter between you two.
Friends come and friends go but when comes right down to it, it’s just you two, like today. Bravo 👏
Not only a great episode, but I'm really impressed on how Simon automatically ducks now when there's a low beam. Keep up the good work and each episode brings joy into my life. Thank You.
After your fine rendition of Rove Rove your boat, I think you need to sing this as you do the final rove 😀
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
You guys are amazing and inspiring. The new nails will let visitors see the magnitude of the effort. We're hooked
I think it is awesome that you guys are starting to pick up sponsors. It's about time you guys started to get recognized for your content. I'm sure you guys will continue to have success and overtime you will end up being the vice grip garage at the boat channels LOL. I think a lot of what his gaming you guys viewers and subscribers it so you guys's interaction with each other and your comedy because you guys are both freaking hilarious. Keep up the good work
Well my talk-to-text feature really suck that one up LOL but I think you guys get the idea
Cheers Seth, I don't think we're funny, I Just think alot of stupid ship comes out our months!!! But I'm so happy you are enjoying it xx
@@ShipHappensUK I personally think you guys are hilarious. And I think you guys are hilarious by accident which is the best kind of hilarious
I giggled all the way through, all the innuendos, and I thought that I had been singing that song to the wrong words, then I realised! 😂😂
Great video, really enjoyed it.
Your not kidding hand held dolly and hammering the copper rivets is hell on earth, wish we had that hammer tool 🤪, great fun watching your efforts and the little tips you find to do brilliant 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Fabulous! Doesn't matter that one day all the nails will be covered over, YOU WILL KNOW THEY ARE THERE!
Idea for the nail pincers to get the right standoff. Instead of using a washer every time, weld a piece of metal to each half of the pincers on the outside end to the required standoff distance. When you put the pincers against the wood the jaws will be the right distance away every time.
It would work but tools like this are usually heat treated at a specific temperature for a set time so the steel is hardened. welding and ginding will undo that. Fortunately I learned this from someone just before I was going to use a grinder to re sharpen a chisel lol
@@alstonofalltrades3142, then glue them. It’s like a weld but without heat.
Off white for the engine room in my mind, it will show any leaks and white just colours over time to off white so beat them to it. 👍 great video 2x👍 you need to varnish your copper to keep it nice
Rove, rove, rove your boat..it will take me days to get this out of my head. Amazing job!
Tape the spacer washers to one of the cutters jaws, you can use a piece of tape on the other jaw with a strip of craft paper where it slides over the washer so it doesn't pull off when removing it after a cut. Less 'fumbling' around with jobs that can take three hands. Should get you down to less than a minute a rove! Those 'Dutchmen' you glued into the notches will return Sarinda's ribs to her youthful strength, nice work! 😁
The copper will oxidise and turn dull green eventually so whilst it looks great now you may be making more work than is necessary because they won’t stay shiny. But whilst they are they look great. And just as I uploaded my thoughts you mentioned “clear coating” the copper so they stay shiny. Brilliant!🤓🤓
I got rid of a copper mug for this reason, even dipped it in citric acid container for an hour to clean it without lots of scrubbing and it came out, well, shiny but still patchy instead of dull and patchy. Maybe someone knows of a clear lacquer to put on them.
Love the copper shiny better. Makes your work pop more👍👍👍👍👍👍💖💖😀😀
Cheers hun x
Had an idea, when Simmon is outside walking on the mud maybe he could use something like a modified snowshoe with a solid bottom. Would keep his feet from sinking and easier to move around. Very much enjoy watching you guys working together
that's what I was thinking, only my old brain couldn't think of what they were called, or maybe he could use a pallet to stand on and just move it along as they go.
Excellent job as always guys, its lovely too see the new painted wood and bare copper.
Awesome progress! That tool sure is a life saver, saves alot of pain in the hands! Sarinda sure starting to look pretty! Good work.
Looking good! At first I thought “oh no, dont waste time polishing the copper” but after seeing the results, awesome. Good luck for the rest of ‘22, off to a great start!
Whatcha doin' Gemma?
Polishin me roves.
Not normal am I 🤣🤣
@@ShipHappensUK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Laugh of the day... "washing the mud". LOL Great episodel
Definitely not normal are we!! 🤣
@@ShipHappensUK my dad's been known to sweep dirt, so you're in good company :)
@@ShipHappensUK "Normal" is highly overrated, meh...😀
I love it. Sporty Spice meets Dr Evil and gets busy with the wire wheel. Will Dr Evil escape.......or will his head be the next thing on her polishing agenda? find out in the next riveting episode of Ship happens. What a positive video to kick off the new year 2022, all the rubbish safely removed, a sponsored video - well done with square space, more work achieved and the project moving ever forward. An absolute joy to watch. Rove,rove, rove your boat!!!
Found your site today, glad I caught the 2021 highlights, then watched Rove rove rove. I really enjoyed. Broght back memories of my classic cruiser. I found it very calming and relaxing working on her. Thanks for letting us be able to enjoy your time.
The editing keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work, she's coming along very nicely.
Whom, Gemma?
Gemma is our roving reporter😁😀😆
This may seem strange but. The palm thing that hurts your hand. You can’t use padding to protect your hand, (well, you can but that would reduce the effectiveness and make it slower.) but you can spread the load. So, how about attaching some sort of bar or plate, so you can get both hands on it, to halve the strain. Or, OR, attach an extension so you can lean your torso against it, to reduce the load/strain even further. (Wish I was genned up enough to attach diagrams.)
You are going to make so much progress this year; you’re organized and learning to do jobs faster. Can’t wait to see 2022 in review; keep the vlogs coming. (I worry about carpal tunnel with the vibration of the palm nailer. Take preventive action now.)
I worked in tunnel construction from the 1960s and suffer a bit from White Finger, but then I'm 77 know so the joints are getting stiffer anyway.
Also the ears suffered with the rock drills, no ear defenders in those days.
Less progress if Gemma keeps doing mad stuff like polishing roves...
@@GARDENER42 But they are beautiful.
A good song for you pair is Bernard cribbinns singing right said fred
Love the work it's coming along.. happy new year to you all
Copper nails look very good, redoing the wood looks great!
Gemma - you are on fire with the "hole" jokes today. Well done you two - I love the banter and the way you work together. Love love love it. Cheers
That was genius to add the music after the Rove rove rove your boat joke :-)
If I could leave the United States for a month I would come over there and help both of you that boat is going to be absolutely beautiful when you're done
Love is helping your wife's OCD projects. Lol. Looking forward to a great year and 72 copper nails is amazing!
The cheekyness is strong with this one 💪 ☺
You guys nailed it this episode 🙄🤣😂
Cheers from Virginia. In it for the long haul. Easy top 5 YT channel. Well done. Keep on truckin’. Thanks Simon and Gemma for ALL the content!
Enjoying your vlogs watching you progress with the restoration. That is a mammoth task to undertake.
To stop the copper roves going green you could paint them with Rylard brass lacquer . We use it on the brass mushrooms and potholes on our narrow boat.
The pieces of wood you repaired the notched frames & stringers are called "dutchmen".
Your little girl is absolutely adorable.
"Alot Of Gemma's Bum!" Gotta have the eye candy! Great video thanks for sharing!
Gemma, thanks for listening to me, re hair. 😀
Gemma, Simon. It's good to see a plan coming together and your little ditty was good. Isn't there an old song " I'm a rover" or is it Drover??????
I worked as an inspector on construction sites and as I wear prescription glasses had problems with steaming up and focusing while wearing plastic overglasses. So the company paid for prescription safety glasses, over time I used Boots and Specsavers, Boots were the better pair and lasted longest. The lenses are toughened and they have side shields. It saves all that putting on and off and possible damaging your own glasses.
Paint over the roves or your going to add hours of work to your refit. Plus I think it looks OTT.
Necessary breeds invention. You guys are an inspiration. 🇨🇦
Wow, you two really have cut your time on doing copper rivets. Now you are down to 8 years to completion of your fine ship. You two also have SUCH FINE vans. Thank you for your videos. I am lucky, my Ranger 21 is fibre Glas, I see what I missed🥰 please keep at it, wonderful work.
You could do with some Peltor headsets that give hearing protection AND communication. No more shouting and no worries about the noise.
3m makes blue tooth ear defenders too. Listen to audio books, talk on the phone/intercom (depending on carrier/ phone) and protect your ears.
Sludge pumps / trash pumps are such a great tool when you have to get rid of mud or other stuff.
If you paint the biggest and bulkheads in white or some light color you can see any leaks from the machinery or other unwanted issues.
Heh heh , so cool guys , wow you have are doing so well , have done a lot of this myself on traditional yachts , and understand how much work it is , you guys rock 😁 greetings from the yacht , Taurangi , Wellington , New Zealand 😁👍👍👍
You guys are great, my wife of 25 years are partners in several Businesses, one of them is building and restoring houses, and our kids help as well. It’s allot of fun watching you guys, I’m glad there’s other crazy couples out there We look forward to you guys hitting the seas with the old girl.
Looking lovely lots of love from Canada 🇨🇦
Can't wait to see you stripping, Gem, that redlead needs to go, my father built
a clinker boat back in the 50's used redlead, lampblack and paint powders
as mixed paint wasn't generally available, he died of cancer not long after.
Still remembered him roving nails on his own, in fact did everything even
lofted the sails, but baulked at fitting the Chapman Pup engine, he was an
old Cape Horner, and disliked anything mechanical.
Looking forward to more episodes, really riveting stuff.
Now you know the palm nailer is the tool for the job you should now get the peening tools remade in hardened tool steel. Needs special heat treatment equipment so not a DIY task. You are making great progress
Maybe for a more heavy duty rove polisher upper, what about a wire brush similar to the small Dremel brush, but one that would go into a drill, again only as large as the rove.
Slip the brush into a short piece of pipe that’s also only the side of the rove.
Use the pipe as a guide, and work the brush in and out. This way you can ensure that the paint on the stringers or frame doesn’t get damaged😎
Reminder to self no drinking morning coffee while watching you guys. On a positive note all i can smell is vanilla from the vanilla cream in the coffee that shot out of my nose while laughing. 🙃
Shiny, shiny copper.
Now that you know how well the palm nailer works, you might want to get a second one so you don't have to change the tools between driving the copper roves and peening the nail.
Looking forward to seeing how far you get in 22 you bring joy and happiness every episode great to watch loved the roved your boat music very artistic lol
Yes Jem its ocd, glad Simon pointed it out that they will all be covered in the end. Great productive day though, well done guys.
But they look so pretty now!
@@ShipHappensUK - I hope you have plenty of brasso and rags!
What a dynamic pair well done
Can you imagine what the riveters felt like when riveting the steel plated ships of yesteryear.🤓
Holy cow that's a lot of roving. And then polishing the paint off the already done ones lol ocd lol
Great job
It's a good thing Gemma is the safety person! Keep Simon alive! LOL! Nice work, you guys! Always enjoy the progress you are making with every video! Already looking forward to the next one! Take Care!
Simon, put pallets all around the boat, run a rope through them all, you can then leave them there.
Just paint them all. It is alot of extra work and in the future you cover the walls most likely when you create various rooms in this part of the ship.
wow!, great effort guys. I didnt have the heart to tell Jemma that the inner cladding would hide her roves but hey, exposed beams is a thing isn't it? Happy New Year to you all from our aussie home.
You can paint the back sides of stringers with a small paint roller.
Howdy Gemma and Simon and fantastic work on the boat frame and stringers. The copper nails look great. ❤️❤️❤️ Keith
Re your pump. With a decently weighted filter basket and a decent nozzle you have a twofer. Emergency salvage pump and emergency fire pump
Oh your song was priceless! so in response to that ;) You nailed it and that was riveting too ;) :p that was fantastic work both well done!
Great job! At least now that the roves are in, it is a major task is completed. Love the palm hammer,must get one for myself.
Shiny copper nails!
I looked up hard workers in the dictionary and your pictures were there. You got a lot of heart folks. I am starting to believe you will wind up with a beautiful yacht at the finish. Good fortune in the New Year and can't wait to see the voyages you make.
Red rover red rover let Genna come over.
I see you are making headway on this classic boat. A massif job still ahead for you. You seem to work good together and that is plus on any project. I wish you good look, and thank you for sharing.
in USA, there is office supply round stickers. used to mark or identify file folders (and some is used as price tagging)
the copper looks good and will stay looking good with clear coat but like Simon said when boats done you not going see them lol but you gotta keep the ocd in check or it will drive you crazy lol doing such an awesome job and i think now you got the swing of things your gonna fly through a lot these jobs keep em coming and keep up the good work this boats gonna be amazing when done
You adapt well to the different situations to speed up the process!
This may be a stupid suggestion but couldn't you use like a snowshoe covered in a bin bag or maybe some kind of disk shaped object tied to your wellies to stop sinking into the mud? Not sure it would work but if not maybe the suggestion was worth a chuckle.
fun, fun, fun.. you two are a relief to a hard time.. i like the tape on the washer trick..
Oh thanks, now I can't get that song out of my head. Lol
Sorry! X
You might try to get a pair of padded mechanics gloves to help with the palm nailer. They really help dampen vibration and impact and aren't too expensive at all.
Hope you have a great 22 on shiphappens best of luck with the old girl!
I've volunteered with people who got COPD without smoking due to the industry they worked in before retirement/sick pay, it's no fun. A quick search for breathing in sanded dried epoxy dust proves that it is not good. Now I've busted your balls along with bunch of other health and safety posters I'm going to plagiarize your Fun Prevention Officer to everyone who comes at looking to stop my fun in future hehe. Hypicritical of me yes. Accurate information is good. what risks you take after it, well you'd never do anything at all if you avoided risk. crossing the road, taking medication, and other people are more comfortable with some risks than others.
Great work as always, you're really motoring along with the ribs and stringers now. I think a race between you and the pro's would be very close.
Copper cookware next! Great work you two.
It’s coming along awesome! Your doing an awesome job! Do you think Simon needs a piece of string Gemma? 🤣🤣🇦🇺🍺🍺😳😳
Simon, I think you need to keep a close eye on Gemma, I think she's fallen off her trolley, (In the nicest possible way, I can understand that when cleaned up they look shiny and nice but how much work are you making for yourselves, lol just for the next couple of weeks, don't let her have any shape tools Lol, love you both keep up the good work.
