Thank you, whilst our priority is to make the videos entertaining, I personally hope they are also informative so really appreciate your comments, thank you.
As a wooden boat restorer i think your work is exemplary. Your attitude and natural touch make up for your lack of experience. I've watched all your vids and what impressed me most was your deck work. Beautiful piece of 'craftsmanship'.
You make woodwork look very easy and obviously knew a lot more than you let on, as your work is superb. I turned down the chance of buying a cracking wooden boat that had just been restored, because everyone said it would cost too much to maintain and wooden boats are a nightnare to own, so bought another GRP production yacht, which is great and hassle free, but lack the soul that wooden boats always seem to have. Seeing Josefine taking shape, i feel i should of gone with my heart and not my head.
Hi Sumo, All we really do is care about standards and work hard. Before we bought Josefine, I had never worked on or owned a wooden boat and my only experience working with wood was the rudimentaires of the average DIY’er. ALL the skill comes from the shipwrights we are working with, we just listen and learn. On the question of boat types, my opinion has evolved with Josefine’s refit and one day I would like to do a video episode dedicated to that subject because I think it’s both complex and interesting. Save to say, in general, I don’t think one boat is better than another, just different! Thank you for your continued support.
Outstanding narration and workmanship.. Love the way you display your knowledge in a humble way.. Also the demonstrated patience is obvious.. Love the graphics at the end of the video..Keep up the good work..
So Regi- WoW, so appreciate your deliberate style of demonstrating much of the tedious details..all of which bring a complete appreciation for the struggles & accomplishments. You are alone at the tippy top of all the boatmaking channels worldwide..including the building of the Tallyho in Port Townsend WA. by Sampson Boatbuilding..theirs is high end of course yet they can't afford to go into such detail as you..See at Utube- Sampson Boat, Leo is the Englishman maker..bright as a star, and likely their build is the build of the century..in fact the ship was one hundred years young when the refurbish began.
Thank you Canyon, we know about Leo of course, amazing shipwright and great video producer, we are not really in the same league but you are very kind to mention us in the same sentence. 🙂
Hi Guy's thanks for the great video update, you are turning into a great shipwright, great job with the hawse pipe hole and bullwark fitting, that must really feel good, keep up the good work, so glad your'e taking care of her. Peace and love.
Thank you Leon, most of the work is very satisfying but at our age it can be hard going sometimes, see latest episode, I am uploading at the moment so should be published soon. I could never call myself a shipwright, I have learnt a massive amount and really enjoy the work but our project leading shipwright Dominic has over 30 years experience, without him Josefine would have been scrapped long ago. I think I could call myself a reasonable assistant!
Per: the bow hawse roller, you might consider a pair of 'L' shaped 2cm rods bolted or welded to the roller support so that they pass over the roller with a gap slightly wider than any chain or line used for anchor rode. They will keep the rode from 'jumping' the roller when the anchor hits bottom and the rode keeps whipping out. It's not critical, but it would save having to fish the rode back up onto the roller, especially helpful when anchoring in foul weather...
Thank you Mike, I understand, something we will look into, slightly more difficult as the spade anchor also gets pulled up and onto and is housed on the roller, but we can probably figure something out.
Just loving this, please keep them coming as and when you can. You are doing such a great job! Will you have an open day for subscribers when it’s done. Just love to see the boat.
You can start a hole saw at an angle if you you have a large and long pilot bit which you had, it actually cuts better as you found out at the End. It is also much easier to chop out with much better side access. Love your project and is getting closer to done,cheers
That is one thing working on a wooden boat teaches a person.. Patience and repetition on off on off on off.......... She is looking fantastic and your hard work is showing. Just one comment, I have learnt over the years.. before cutting the mortice I always start my edges with a chisel just tap it down on the line to break the timber and for you, it will be easier to start your cutting of the depths as you have a grove to start you off with.
Thank you Tim, that is very good advice, one of the very many lessons I have learnt restoring Josefine, has been the value of good quality sharp chisels, I love borrowing chisels from our shipwrights, they always work much better than mine, it’s one thing I really must learn, how to properly sharpen an edge.
Bonjour Starting by teasing on the next video, that's quite uncommon 😁 Never mind, all your videos are quite interesting. Besides this, I find It is rewarding to learn by practicing my passion and I hope it is the same for you. And I admire your patience... Amicalement, Raphaël
Sorry we missed you Steve, we very very rarely leave the boat so you were unlucky, we might have been below deck, next time shout out or knock on the deck, we always hear footsteps on the deck!
The wood for the capping rails appears to have been recycled.What species of wood is it and what was it used for previously?This is another well thought out video,very engaging and always leaves the viewer wanting more.( By the way you mentioned in your last video that the direction of the bolts in the scarf joint should have been drilled in opposing direction to pull the joint together?)Thank you for another wonderful video
Hi Joe, so far we have been able to salvage bits of the old capping rail which is Oak, but we have now run out of that so for the wide bits round the stern we are on the scrounge and think we might be able to cobble something together using old capping rails off other boats that have been restored with new wood. Thank you for continuing to support us.
Hi Jonathan, almost certainly right but we have to work with the tools we have and my router is very old and big, it’s foot is bigger than the width of the capping rail, I know that it would still work but it would be hard work setting it up. I often look longingly at the modern cordless small one hand models, they look the biz but we couldn’t justify the expense. Thanks anyway for pointing this out for the sake of anyone else undertaking this work.
Teaching while doing is a great gift for we with no knowledge of boat building, or carpentry. Thank you Lad

Thank you Frans, thank you for your support.
Great video as always. Thank you 👍🏼
Shouldn't it be called "Cutting big holes and rolling tight joints"?
Thank you David.
I never inhaled.
Such a waste. I would have. 😁

Great work pleasing to see the excitement about the dry dock work❤️❤️❤️
Hi Clive, I am just uploading the first episode of our 3 weeks in dry dock, looking back, it was hard work but ultimately very rewarding.
Beautifully done.
Thank you Jean
Just loving this, please keep them coming as and when you can. You are doing such a great job!
Will you have an open day for subscribers when it’s done. Just love to see the boat.
Hi Paul, We would love to have an open day and have given it some thought, we will definitely arrange something.
You can start a hole saw at an angle if you you have a large and long pilot bit which you had, it actually cuts better as you found out at the
End. It is also much easier to chop out with much better side access. Love your project and is getting closer to done,cheers
Thank you John, we have tried but my wrists just can’t take it!
great bit of filming of the breakthrough moment as the holesaw comes through the knightsnead Reg .
Thank you Peter, got there in the end!
Great work, its coming along very nicely.
Thank you, We think you will enjoy the latest, our dry dock work.

Thank you Raphaël, we would never tease, uploading latest video as I type.
Went to see your boat today, didn't find you on your boat, but it does look great.
Sorry we missed you Steve, we very very rarely leave the boat so you were unlucky, we might have been below deck, next time shout out or knock on the deck, we always hear footsteps on the deck!
@@SailingWood will do, love to meet you both and have a chat

Great video.
Thank you Anne.
The more details the better. So educational your way of passing on your shipwrights know how.
🙂👍
Very interesting and informative, thanks for sharing. :o)
Thank you for watching, pleased you enjoyed it.
I like whenever possible to make router templates to sink mortices, much quicker.
