    No slacking over Christmas. You are allowed 4 hours shore leave for R & R then back to this most wonderful journey you share with us. Always uplifting, inspirational and just an all round fantastic production yet again. Passing 100K so deserved, the best u-tube channel.

    As a military history fan the algorithm suggested your first ever video I subscribed that day and have watched all your videos on both channels and been so impressed with all your hard work.
    Its been fascinating seeing your skills develop over the last 4 years both as boat builders and Gemma's ever improving fishing skills keep it up i am with you all the way.

    CONGRATULATIONS! This goes to prove that you don't have to have a refined production to get subscribers. We like watching down to earth (bilges) people that live like everybody else. Not everybody rebuilds a 72' war boat, but those of us interested in building boats like the content to be real, not produced.

    • @nick.caffrey
      @nick.caffrey 2 часа назад +1

      Funnily enough, I'd say that this is a very refined production. I have some knowledge of how much blood, sweat and tears goes into producing videos to a schedule, between planning, shooting, mixing, editing, rendering and uploading. It's not Sailing la Vagabonde in production twinkly bits, but Ship Happens is a very solid, highly refined channel. You don't get 100k subs by sitting on your *ares*.

    I've been looking at your old boat thinking the hull shape looked familiar then today you confirmed my thoughts. I found a 'Wineglass' dinghy abandoned in someone's front garden and managed to buy it. That was 58 years ago. No idea where she (Chianti) is now but she scrubbed up nice and gave a lot of fun.

    Congrats on the 100,000 subs, a little tip for when breaking in new shoes or boots, to avoid blisters on the heel, wear two pair of thin socks instead of one, the socks rub against each other instead of your heel.

    A Chinese caravan diesel heater would help keep you warm. 8kw and 5kw are basically the same. Get the parts as a kit. Dont bother with the integral fuel tank.
    Run a capillary tube from your diesel tank via an inline paper filter. Exhaust go over the side. I have a long fuel pipe that I prime with a 100ml syringe to suck fuel through.

    Have you ever heard of pykrete? It’s a ww2 concoction of ice and saw dust that you could build boats out of. Your snow boat is almost there! If only you could find some sawdust.
    There are rubber guards for the toes of work boots . You glue them on. They add a little insulation, and a lot of wear protection. They do look at little goofy but makes the boots last longer.

    With the weather being cold and it makes epoxy resin turn gloopy and takes longer to set it also has the downside of not soaking into the wood like it does in the summer when the resin and the air temps are higher, I'm not sure if you know but if you add a bit of MEK ( Methyl Ethyl Keytone ) it makes the resin thinner and aids it to soak into the timber, specially for treating old timbers.... Plus the mek is great for cleaning tools off, so if you place any metal scrapers etc that you use into the mek it will wash the resin off so that they are clean ready for next time.
    We just used a plastic tub with a clip on lid, added about 4 or 5 inches deep of MEK, it will last ages as a tool cleaning bucket.
    The mek is also good for cleaning excess resin from the timbers etc that you just worked on

    I once flew in my top Field Engineer on a big project because all the readings I was gettng with my "Fluke" showed erroneous. He arrived, measured 15 assemblies, walked over to me, looked at my meter and the fact that I had non-brand batteries. He handed me a pack of name-brand 9-volt batteries and headed back to the airport. We get so tied up in the big picture, that we sometimes forget the bits n pieces

      @glynluff2595 I must remember that, Volts DC isn't only a quantity of potential energy, it seems the more you pay the better it is!
      Even my cheapy F1587 has a low battery warning light. I'll read the manual again, it might actually be a cheap battery warning light 🤔

    • @buffplums
      @buffplums Час назад +1

      The quality of the battery has absolutely 5 fifths of f**k all squared… what probably happened was that battery was partly discharged, the cheapest batteries are usually zinc carbon. If you go into B&M bargains you can get 8 AAs for£1 but 6 Duracell AA s about £7. True you get what you are paying for and Zinc Carbons will discharge a lot quicker than more expensive batteries. The issue wasn’t because he had shit batteries in his DMM its more likely he got caught with his pants down and his batteries tailed off a lot quicker. Even if he put new shit batteries in the DMM would work but the life of the batteries wouldn’t have been as long.

Good work guys and hope you both have a great Christmas
