Im not a carpenter, but I think your galley (is that the correct word?) is looking very fine. I see the ither comments and just remember James... It's your boat. If you are happy, thats all that matters. All the best from Missouri.
Love the dark trim against the lighter wood James. I think grab/handrails are a must on the steps….at least for me. Glad you had help moving. Sorry about Dope 😢 Take care. 😊🤗 Kathy
Looking fantastic James ...One word of warning PLEASE WEAR A MASK when cutting /routering/sanding . I`ve worked with wood all my life { now 70 }and i now suffer with breathing problems ,,,,,
I would be really gutted if I saw one of my old boats that I have worked on under water. You are doing well and the inside of your new boat is looking good
I like the way this is looking James. It would seem the hand rail envisioned would be in the way of larger items being brought through the hatch. Maybe I misunderstood. Thanks again for sharing.
I think it would be possible to have what he is envisioning some sort of swooping curved panel that has a section that can be removed if larger items need to be taken out or installed. Would just be an extra bit of work to reinforce the anchoring points for the removable panel.
Looking awesome James, would a single pole from floor to ceiling work as a handrail. easier to install and very sturdy and wouldn't get in the way of the door for getting things in and out. similar to a spiral staircase.
You should make handles for the drawers with the dark wood, it would look good. You could also put that trim on the walls to cover where the walls are coming together.
Cutting hard wood without a dust mask big no no hardwood dust carcinogenic! Also why not clamp a straight edge as a guide for cutting you will get superior results.
I noticed that you didn't leave much room around the drain plug for the washing machine. We have had to use the drain plug a few times over the last few years due to the wrong things going into the wash.
Sorry to see your old boat in that condition have you ever thought about making a table saw out of your circular saw by cutting a hole in a piece of plywood and hanging it upside down take another piece of wood or aluminum and use that as a fence would make it easier for you when you're making your trim you can also do the same thing with a router turned upside down for rounding corners and stuff
For me i would avoid putting a hand rail on the stairs and keepmit more open how about some sort of handle or grip either on the ceiling near the hatch or on the side to help with climbing down or up the stairs..will make the space more open looking 🤔 Design of the galley is looking awesome 👍
Oh no! Dope is dead. 🤭 James, fer gawd's sake wear a mask when you're cutting hardwood (or any wood, for that matter,) with a power saw. That dust is nasty stuff. Fridge door looks better than I expected. Thinking of the ceiling, a RUclipsr "Nogun Wales" is fitting out a narrowboat, and he has ceiling panels that look like T&G, but come in eight by four sheets. They look rather nice. Nils bastardus carborundum! All the best, mate.
I was just thinking the other day, watching another RUclipsr cutting wood that you have no idea what type of irritant that wood could be even if the dust itself isn’t a problem.
James, the galley is looking awesome! One question though (asked to help not to criticise): If the trim is overhanging both edges of the w/machine door, how will it open? Have you got special, wide hinges? Also viewers - and I can never understand this on any channel, if there are over 3k views, why not more than 558 likes?
@@PinkLittleElephant Oh yes, I remember now! My excuse is that I was watching very late! Thanks pink :0) (Don't look now but the jealous one is back, still at least it all helps James! ) 🤣🤣🤣
@alanrichardson1672 - While I agree with some of the more constructive criticisms left here regarding a few things that he's done over the years, including comments from you, I think that this particular one you've decided to leave is completely uncalled for.
To be frankly honest, his work on project 58 has been in stark contrast to all of the well planned & carefully thought-out bits of sloe patrol. I am not sure what has changed or what is going on behind-the-scenes, but I have profound concerns regarding almost every aspect of what has been done on project 58. It just seems so rushed and lost in the weeds compared to sloe patrol. The way he’s building the cabinets honestly doesn’t make a huge amount of sense from a structural standpoint - if you tripped & fell on the galley cabinetry, it would just collapse from lack of reinforcement or attachment to the walls. Also, the stairs have zero diagonal bracing of any kind, which is going to at best slowly lead to cracks & splits in the members taking most of the force. In the initial project 58 videos, he played it off as a boat that only needed some engine work. What it really needed was a complete gut and overhaul just like sloe patrol - including fresh spray foam and proper coating on the steel. It’s profoundly baffling why he’s doing so many things incorrectly & ignoring sound logical advice. Sad to say I may actually have to stop watching because he’s going to have to redo more and more the further he gets along without doing things correctly - painful to watch.
@@Transit_Biker James has always been a little obsessive about the look of his woodwork, including on Sloe Patrol. And his videos have often included elements of James thinking out loud, trying to find a solution that works for him. At the moment he is a bit lost in doing curved wood stuff, and seems to be ignoring structural strength and sealing wood and edges against water ingress. Some of it he can fix later, but some he may have to redo. He was also talking of fixing up project 58 just to sell it so he can get a widebeam, so maybe his isn’t that invested in this boat?
@@PinkLittleElephant i’m not judging just to be clear! We all get in our own headspace when it comes to different projects. I’ve been following since near the beginning and I simply want him to have great success with these boats that he is bringing back to life. I’m not sure what his plans are in terms of living on project 58 long-term, but if that is the plan, some of these issues which have been pointed out should be addressed now to minimize the impact/scope/cost down the line. At this point before the ceiling is in and the galley is fully assembled would be the best time for mold remediation, for example.
@@Transit_Bikermould never seems to be discussed much in the context of these boats ... Spray insulation is popular because it reduces condensation against the hull, minimising corrosion.
I am sorry but i have to ask a question regarding that dewalt skillsaw? I just bought one and yours is backwards to mine. It's backwards to My dewalt worm-drive as well, How is it that your motor is on the opposite side of the unit. Can you post back here a model number,, i would like to look it up??? Thank you in advance. Very curious........@7:05 and i can see the picture is not backwards cause i can read your shirt. Can anybody else see what i am seeing????
I’m still confused as to how the galley cabinetry is supposed to work with no steel L brackets in the framing or attachment to the wall. Same for the entry stairs with no diagonals of any kind to keep the framing square. Also, the rear hatch is the only way to get larger things on & off the boat - may want to consider that when making any railings.
I’m a normal galley there aren’t cross beams or diagonals to my knowledge - I see what you mean about the steps. I won’t put a railing up before I’ve brought in all the bug bits - good point again
Cutting hard wood without a dust mask big no no hardwood dust carcinogenic! Also why not clamp a straight edge as a guide for cutting you will get superior results.
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt the diagonals I am referring to would be bracing for the framing under the stairs because the load on the stair is both horizontal and vertical. as far as the handrail you could put it one in that is removable as I have seen these on many other boats

James, so sorry to see your old boat in such a sad state. I remember what an important role you assigned to it in teaching you to love the canals.
Im not a carpenter, but I think your galley (is that the correct word?) is looking very fine. I see the ither comments and just remember James... It's your boat. If you are happy, thats all that matters. All the best from Missouri.
Great to see the changes happening so quickly

Your galley is really starting to take shape and will look fantastic when done . I love all the curves - it looks great .
I’m so happy you got the stair situation thought out.
The boat looks really good, I think you have done a great job on the galley. It’s coming along nicely.

All credit to you.
It’s looking great James. The darker edging looks lovely.
oh - you're a pop up now!

Just posted the same warning ....

Shame to see Dope in that state. Maybe it can become Project2025 after Project57 is finished?
💜💙💚
get some mitre mate glue it will make your life easier and speed up with the trims

The washing machine cupboard door isn’t hinged but held on by magnets. He lifts it off to one side if he needs access to the machine.

Did Marlon manage to get his engine fixed?
Confused ... why didn't you run the circular saw from the other end? That way most of its base plate would have been supported on the wood side?

I noticed the blade was backwards, but I didn’t want to say anything.
Mains powered skil-saws are always right-side blade, at least here in the UK.
Battery powered ones can be either side.

How about "The Dodgy Foxer?" 😁
