It's so nice listening to you recognize each others skills and appreciate each other 🥰. And those boxes are beautiful, getting a tiny preview of what this boat is going to be when it's done.
Yes! If I'm not mistaken the 'bread boxes' are the first thing on the boat that are more or less their final look. I know they still need a coat of epoxy, but regardless they add an element of finish that wasn't there before.
Hey Mat, from the top view you can see that your fingers and complete left hand often are directly above the saw blade. Even if you adjusted the hight that it not cut through you never should put your hand in that area. If something goes wrong and for example the plate get pushed away your hand will end up in the turning blade. Please keep this in mind and use push tools. Murphy's law is only waiting.
Yeah-made me wince. One problem when the fence is far away from the blade and the blade is buried, you can lose track and go to push the material and your hand is in a bad place. This is from experience (caught it before trouble or occurred!)
I would be surprised if he acknowledged or cared. I have never seen him thank any RUclipsrs for advice let alone used it. He did a good job patting himself on the back though.
My favorite thing on earth is watching these videos, not because i love boats, but because they’re so pure, they’re real, they’re not fake, and they’re simple. There’s no extra politics, there’s no lying to the audience, there’s no BS clickbait, just a “here’s a cute videos of me building a boat :D” and man it’s so refreshing to see people like me making their dreams come true without deception. I’m so glad to see this audience growing. every video i see more and more views, and it’s so exciting. I’m so proud of you guys, and may i ever move to a port city, i wanna see this in person. This is stuff for intelligent people, these videos don’t entertain those who like brain rot content, it’s for people who want things that are real. You guys are a light in my weeks and i appreciate it. This gives me hope.
I watched Maya and Aladino's piece about your project. I was unaware of the Mike Plant's portion of the story Now I recall the story. Interesting to know about your ship fitting experience as that is one of my primary interests.Been watching now for awhile and looking forward to more. Nice job on the cupboards. Clever, but absolutely necessary for you to retain access to the tanks. Great work, you guys.
Yes, I truly agree. As our political stage gets more depressive since the Trump administration has taken our media by storm, with Cash Patel, Hegseth, and Kennedy making fools of us all, watching Seattle in true form is marvelous.
I see the resident quality control/safety inspector is so elevated she doesn’t even have to carry her own clipboard ! It’s good to see the manufacturing staff generally pass muster ! Love the cabinetry, can’t wait for the doors and frames.
Keep your fingers well away from the sawblade, or you won't have them for much longer! Previously I mentioned that there's no riving-knife let alone a guard on your table saw and I have to wonder if you really care about your own personal safety, as you still haven't fitted them. Accidents can and do happen when you least expect them.
I love the voice over interview. The time spent figuring out something is not wasted, though. It is not physically productive, but mentally productive. Sometimes a small decision may take two days, but it provides the calm of proceeding the right way. Building something big in high quality requires many good decisions.
That window trim is exactly what I was thinking. We'll done. Keep up the work I haven't missed and episode in years. Some day I will visit if I make it to the north West Coast.
While I'd realized that masking the top and bottom of the pane with trim to level the edges would work, I hadn't envisioned making a frame like that. An impressive and elegant solution.
Absolute genius on fixing the window lines with a frame, wow that is so kool. But yes, Matt looks everything look so easy, but that's a true sign of a master at work. Brilliant video. Sending good energy as always.......Neil 😊😊☘☘
I agree. I experienced a bit of pucker-factor myself when I saw it. He’s a big boy though and I’m sure he knows. I just hope he keeps all ten digits. He is more careful than I am in other areas though so I have no room to criticize him.
When you have to design the accommodation in your boat, my lesson (I've done it several times) is that everything must fulfill three functions. In addition, it is one's personal experience through sailing that determines the interior design. Fantastic project you have going on, I know quite a few shipbuilders who are involved. Kind regards Peer
Matt, in Mexico, that Churu bar is known as a "mordida (bribe)" in practice. It seems to be a universal solution to obstacles in project execution. (Window frame solution gets an 'A'.) Salud!
Matt, These cabinets look amazing. Love what you are doing. This will be one of the most beautiful and functional boats that I have ever seen and I have seen and had the privilege of been on so many boats!!! Love your channel and so look forward to every Wednesday 👍👍❤️❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪
Not a master craftsman 🤔 I think most of us that follow this channel would wholeheartedly agree that you definitely are !! The video work is very professional as well 👏🏼
Wow, nice job with the trim pieces for the windows. You solved a very complex visual problem with a simple and elegant piece of trim. I too noticed the many problems that The Inspector found with your cabinets. Your fix was another elegant and practical solution that will certainly keep the inspector purring in approval. Keep up the good work. Your hands are full, but what would you think about a short segment showing how one can easily use a laser level while working on a boat? Not a How To for a specific job but just some quick guidance on the many virtues of using a laser level while fitting out a boat. You guys are so good at documenting and sharing your many projects on Duracell. Thank you!
Once again you’ve made a unique and beautiful cabinet out of your fibreglass and epoxy skills. I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful WOOD frame you built around the window! Woodworking skills are improving! Keep up the great work! D
You’re wrong about the window, it is not wonky. If you watch the vids more carefully you’d have heard that the window is aligned with the curvature of the boat on the outside. It is just unfortunate that this is not the same on the inside. Matt mentioned last episode how this will be fixed aesthetically for the inside.
Once you placed both of the bread boxes into place, I could see for a split second how it will all look once is finished. Excellent work both of you! And nice solution with the window frame!
Dramatic indeed! I like the window solution. As far as the Inspector goes, she does have a nameplate indicating her position. You can't get a nameplate without some type of formal training can you? Tablesaw sleds are much more fiddlely to make than they appear. Once done, it's one of the best sawing accessories around. Thanks for the video 😁👍😁👍
I’m in the middle of building my house now, the main construction and roof is on. All this I’m doing on my own with a labourer. When I come to build my kitchen, l think I’ll make the corner units curved like your tops. it looks professional and manufactured made. People will never think I did mine, but they will with yours 😂 love your videos👍👍👍
I love curves. I curved a gyproc board wall to a internal porch. Then I made a curved coving between wall and ceiling. It looked good and friends were amazed. It’s knowing what to do. I tried your method first. That was a total failure, then I started to spray water and bent it slowly. Love the video. 👍👍
Nice work on the bread boxes and storage bins. The new frame around the window looks very nice too and it doesn’t seem to impact the windows at all, except to make them look more even. It always makes me smile to see “The Inspector” do the final checkout. I can only imagine what the final report looks like… LOL. We have a 4 year old, 13 pound Shih-Tzu who has been dubbed the RV Space Manager (we live full time in a 42 foot Fifth Wheel) and he sits wherever he wants and takes up as much space as makes him comfortable. Sometimes it on our laps, in front of the laptop computer, or on the pillow that I put on my lap to hold my book when I relax with a glass of wine.
I'd subscribe 3 thousand times if I could to get you over 100k subs. Love your vids, love the wholesome down to earth just normal people doing something amazing. So refreshing, I look forward to your vids every week now since... well quite a while actually.
When I begin to do something that is new to me and I find it challenging. I sit back and ponder over the task, over a nice cup of tea. In your case coffee😂. I find it works. Mind you, you wouldn’t believe the amount of pondering I do 😂👍👍
remember, well placed mirrors can make the space feel much bigger. especially when placed somewhere so that it reflects a window. you may want to consider strategic spaces for a mirror or two during your design process. :)
Those look great, you should think of using some type of hook or catch for the ones that bump into the cabinets to be able to hold them open while at sea if needed.
What fantastic editing! We are getting spoiled to be able to see these videos each week. You will have to take on another project after this one is complete, so we don't go through withdrawals. Love you guys!
Mat, that last cut on the slideer when the lid was upside down, arrrh, that was scary to watch, getting that one wrong. But as always, amazing work and I really liked the voice over about what you struggle with.
Matt don't think of it as wasted time look at it as a learning/prep process, bc the more time you spend figuring out how you're going approach something the easier it will be when it comes time to actually do it. This is a huge undertaking and it's good to take your time it will help prevent mistakes and make the next steps that much easier! 👍👍
Have been watching from near beginning. My interest has not waned. Y’all’s efforts have grown and brought many hrs hours of interesting fun content. Thx guys
Years ago when I was sailboat building, what I liked about the learning process was learning from journeyman builders. It’s like your brain is a big filing cabinet and once you did something different which was part of the process. After you do it you file it away with all your other experiences. When another project comes along you go into your filing cabinet to see if you can figure it out or if you need help from a builder who has done it before. It takes a lifetime to learn it all and you never really arrive at it. You still have to be smart enough to say I need help with this one. The bigger the filing cabinet the better boat builder you are.
From an interior design process, one suggestion is to lay out all the things you are going to use. So if you are designing a kitchen you would record what you make for breakfast, the tools, implements and actions. Many people make mistakes by making a living area for a life they don't lead, so plugs for appliances they only use once a year/month, but don't integrate the kettle they use 3 times a day. If you are designing space for charts/laptop/tools/objects in the bread bin, then set them out somewhere else and look at how you use them. Putting a retractable USB cable into the seat arm of the chair if you use a phone/tablet or laptop there instead of a port on the wall with a 110v adapter is one way to improve life. Lay out your cameras or other devices and build a drawer to contain them and charge them whilst they are there. You can use foam or other layered material to make these, I just place the Insta 360 in a plastic bag with the cable taped to a port at the back of the drawer. Pour in 2 part foam. I then tape the cable into the space and have the loose end with space to plug it in before it goes into its slot. This way they stay charged and the parts to operate them are all in one space.
I tuned in from the beginning. Or very near the beginning. When I first saw what you were trying to do I was SURE you would never finish it. But after watching about 3 or 4 episodes I completely changed my opinion. Matt you are super productive. Thinking is working. It leads to a better product.
Being trained as a designer does not always help. I was trained but have always been better at sitting in a space, staring and thinking than trying to predict theoretically and drawing it all out. Mock-ups and gazing is the organic way and I love it.
Great job on the cabinets, the window frame was perfectly simple. Glade to see you made a table saw sled, my only thought is you may want to add a guard where the blade exits the front of the fence, a simple box with a clear top is all that is needed.
Mat you do really good work, and yes youre still learning. You have the capacity to solve almost any problem and the attention to detail to do it with high quality. Project confidence otherwise it come across like humble bragging. Love your content.
I’m not certain what gender La Paz is, but I think that her tenacity and courage to write up a report that long in number of pages would say her feminine qualities proves she is thoroughly professional and all; but you’ve never mentioned her fees or what you bribe her with. She could be a boy I guess, taking after her Daddy Matt in being well rounded in his tastes for brides XXX payment. Beautiful family(that’s yall) thanks for the laughs and love for precious animals as well as getting to watch the cool new additions to your floating home. Brilliant work both of you. Just so you know we all learn from the challenges yall address head on. Many thx for that. Keep growing and hopefully lil baby legs will start to help the inspector by checking other systems. He’s the glitter in the paint for sure. TTYL. Be well.
Uh Oh, bribing the inspector 🙀😀. Moving down a slippery slope there. Next thing you know, there will be demands for fresh caught tuna fish. Cabinets look really good and a nice simple solution for the windows, which is always the best type of solution.
Yes, I noticed your hand there too. Careful Matt. How are you going to stop the doors from annoying the heck out of you both in all but the flattest Seas? Magnets maybe? Or some type of pop-up button? They do look good though ✌️
If it’s lead you use to hold down while curing, a tip is to paint or epoxi them so not to get lead powder in the air or floating around in the workshop
I saw the bread boxes in place and wondered if that was just going to be dead space under it? The next second I saw it again and there was a piano hinge in it! So that answered my question. Then the next 10 minutes was on how the hinge got there! Those look a LOT like Steven Dashew's design for hull side cabinetry in his Deerfoot & Sundeer designs. Good choice! Good job!
That portlight solution is brilliant! That would've driven me to insanity if I had to look at that askew frame throughout my ownership. Well done. Bill / SY Miss Foxy, Singapore.
The hardest are the "design decisions". Imagining the alternatives, weighing each of them. Each of such decisions has a technical side of feasibility and fulfilling necessary and sufficient conditions (strength, waterproofness, durability) and often there's a need to take other things into account. If you design, say, a huge chemical plant with pipes, vessels, etc, and stairs for maintenance and safety related jobs, then designing the route of a pipe may not clash into stairs, but actually take the space away for a human that has to climb the stairs. So, implications of a design decision. In a relation with a spouse, then the biggest deciding factor may become the "WAF" (wife acceptance factor) - aesthetics play a big role, too. Hard criteria, soft ones, implications. Every new detail requires to pay attention to those and 10, or 1, or 100 decisions later you may regret this one. Here, the expert paradox predicts that someone with more in depth knowledge who can take this all into account, will actually do so. Consequently such a person needs more time than another person who JFDI. And JFDI often leads to less ergonomics, less quality, less aesthetics that all translate into higher costs in the future (higher TCO).

Burst out laughing for the window reveal. Genius solution. Looks really good aand settled my mind instantly
You bribed the inspector. Oh, the catmanity.
the vest IS what makes it official. Do not question, only obey
😂
I love the way you two narrate with voice over as you go. It adds a lot and makes your videos great.
I haven't seen anybody else do that, and it works so well
Not every *bureau'cat'* needs a *certifi'cat'* ... The vest along with the demeanor of authority is enough.

Bribing the inspector!! Gasp! 😂
Hey Mat, from the top view you can see that your fingers and complete left hand often are directly above the saw blade. Even if you adjusted the hight that it not cut through you never should put your hand in that area. If something goes wrong and for example the plate get pushed away your hand will end up in the turning blade. Please keep this in mind and use push tools. Murphy's law is only waiting.
Saw that too. Please stop that, Mat.
+1
Yeah-made me wince. One problem when the fence is far away from the blade and the blade is buried, you can lose track and go to push the material and your hand is in a bad place. This is from experience (caught it before trouble or occurred!)
Safety with table saws is always paramount. But, I watched three time and can not see where Mat’s hands were over the blade.
I would be surprised if he acknowledged or cared. I have never seen him thank any RUclipsrs for advice let alone used it. He did a good job patting himself on the back though.
My favorite thing on earth is watching these videos, not because i love boats, but because they’re so pure, they’re real, they’re not fake, and they’re simple. There’s no extra politics, there’s no lying to the audience, there’s no BS clickbait, just a “here’s a cute videos of me building a boat :D” and man it’s so refreshing to see people like me making their dreams come true without deception. I’m so glad to see this audience growing. every video i see more and more views, and it’s so exciting. I’m so proud of you guys, and may i ever move to a port city, i wanna see this in person.

You guys are a light in my weeks and i appreciate it. This gives me hope.
thanks for your kind words.
I watched Maya and Aladino's piece about your project. I was unaware of the Mike Plant's portion of the story Now I recall the story. Interesting to know about your ship fitting experience as that is one of my primary interests.Been watching now for awhile and looking forward to more. Nice job on the cupboards. Clever, but absolutely necessary for you to retain access to the tanks.
Great work, you guys.
Yes, I truly agree. As our political stage gets more depressive since the Trump administration has taken our media by storm, with Cash Patel, Hegseth, and Kennedy making fools of us all, watching Seattle in true form is marvelous.
@landenmennig9458 I'm multiplying your words by two
I see the resident quality control/safety inspector is so elevated she doesn’t even have to carry her own clipboard ! It’s good to see the manufacturing staff generally pass muster ! Love the cabinetry, can’t wait for the doors and frames.
Keep your fingers well away from the sawblade, or you won't have them for much longer!
Previously I mentioned that there's no riving-knife let alone a guard on your table saw and I have to wonder if you really care about your own personal safety, as you still haven't fitted them. Accidents can and do happen when you least expect them.
My thoughts exactly. I'm super paranoid when using these things, to the point that I expect the thickness of the panel to decrease suddenly.
Almost 100k subscribers ❤
Keep patting yourselves on your backs. You are both doing fantastic and engaging work. Thanks!
I love the inspector song!! Haha 😂❤
This build is so well thought out, really love the mix of wood and light weight
What a simple yet elegant solution for the window! And you both make it such a treat to watch your videos. Thank you!
Mat, your craftsmanship is incredible. You singlehandedly inspired a number of small wood projects at our home. The boat is going to look awesome.
Great to hear!
I love the voice over interview. The time spent figuring out something is not wasted, though. It is not physically productive, but mentally productive. Sometimes a small decision may take two days, but it provides the calm of proceeding the right way. Building something big in high quality requires many good decisions.

An impressive and elegant solution.
inspector seems happy!
Almost on 100K, very good!!!
Keep on giving each other praise ! Might I add to that , you guys are new parents and that is MASSIVE, well done all around
Thank you! We're navigating learning how to be parents and boat builders/youtubers. We love our new role as parents.
Brilliant idea on the windows! Well done Sir!!
Absolute genius on fixing the window lines with a frame, wow that is so kool. But yes, Matt looks everything look so easy, but that's a true sign of a master at work. Brilliant video. Sending good energy as always.......Neil 😊😊☘☘
I know the saw had a set depth but every time your hand and fingers where a millimeter or two above the spinning table sawblade I had to look away...
Yeah you never know what might happen. I noticed that too.
A couple of the best carpenters I know are missing a finger. That made me say oh Sh!! too
I agree. I experienced a bit of pucker-factor myself when I saw it. He’s a big boy though and I’m sure he knows. I just hope he keeps all ten digits. He is more careful than I am in other areas though so I have no room to criticize him.

I like that idea. The patterning process is intriguing.
Someone suggested that we do a tour of tools for an episode sometime. We could include the laser level. You might see an episode like this soon!
Loved the cat inspection bit 😄😄. I also liked the QnA over the work early on. It keeps the content fresh trying these new presentation ideas!
Great work as always! Happy to see the inspector accepting a bribe and give you a paw-stamp of approval in the end :D
I can see why you're happy with the cabinets! They look fantastic!
go on for 100k! then its time for a spezial episode!
Once again you’ve made a unique and beautiful cabinet out of your fibreglass and epoxy skills. I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful WOOD frame you built around the window! Woodworking skills are improving! Keep up the great work! D

@@TheDuracellProject Opps, yeah, I really dropped the ball on that one. 😊
Great work on those cabinets! Glad the the "inspector" was happy at the end, being bribed with snacks of course...🤣🤣🤣
Licensed “Bureaucat” 😂, hilarious! Great episode, loved it!
When I begin to do something that is new to me and I find it challenging. I sit back and ponder over the task, over a nice cup of tea. In your case coffee😂. I find it works. Mind you, you wouldn’t believe the amount of pondering I do 😂👍👍

It’s good to see the deficiency’s being documented and taken are of before the project gets shutdown.
On the breadbox portside you were talking about book ends when you had already cut the door/hatch in the breadbox 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
What fantastic editing! We are getting spoiled to be able to see these videos each week. You will have to take on another project after this one is complete, so we don't go through withdrawals. Love you guys!

Duracell is Matt's Magum Opus ;-)
I like your little interviews of each other, and how you use them as commentary...very nice.
As a shipwright myself who is now a general contractor, I have learned that design is often more intricate, and challenging then the hand work.
Nicely done Matt, very cool idea. Oh yeah, she’s the best inspector money can buy!
Excellent work! The window frames are great. Finish work is here." Beurocat ", love it 😂.

Lay out your cameras or other devices and build a drawer to contain them and charge them whilst they are there. You can use foam or other layered material to make these, I just place the Insta 360 in a plastic bag with the cable taped to a port at the back of the drawer. Pour in 2 part foam. I then tape the cable into the space and have the loose end with space to plug it in before it goes into its slot. This way they stay charged and the parts to operate them are all in one space.
I tuned in from the beginning. Or very near the beginning. When I first saw what you were trying to do I was SURE you would never finish it. But after watching about 3 or 4 episodes I completely changed my opinion. Matt you are super productive. Thinking is working. It leads to a better product.
Nice solution to the windows.
I would probably think about a narrow shelf for herbs/spices above the window.
Now that is an elegant simple solution for the window.
Your window frame solution is brilliant!
Being trained as a designer does not always help. I was trained but have always been better at sitting in a space, staring and thinking than trying to predict theoretically and drawing it all out. Mock-ups and gazing is the organic way and I love it.
I really enjoyed your dialogue and explanation while showing your progress.
Great job on the cabinets, the window frame was perfectly simple. Glade to see you made a table saw sled, my only thought is you may want to add a guard where the blade exits the front of the fence, a simple box with a clear top is all that is needed.
"Bureaucat" 😂🤣 ... Janne' your choices in accompanying music are perfect
The inspector and your dialog!😂😂
I look forward to Duracell Wednesdays! ❤

Mat you do really good work, and yes youre still learning. You have the capacity to solve almost any problem and the attention to detail to do it with high quality. Project confidence otherwise it come across like humble bragging. Love your content.
Love the enhanced cat content. A life story of the inspector would be welcome.
I'm curious too. Just from the name, I'd assumed they may have adopted her (or vice versa) in Mexico. Seems more likely than in Bolivia.
I’m not certain what gender La Paz is, but I think that her tenacity and courage to write up a report that long in number of pages would say her feminine qualities proves she is thoroughly professional and all; but you’ve never mentioned her fees or what you bribe her with. She could be a boy I guess, taking after her Daddy Matt in being well rounded in his tastes for brides XXX payment. Beautiful family(that’s yall) thanks for the laughs and love for precious animals as well as getting to watch the cool new additions to your floating home. Brilliant work both of you. Just so you know we all learn from the challenges yall address head on. Many thx for that. Keep growing and hopefully lil baby legs will start to help the inspector by checking other systems. He’s the glitter in the paint for sure. TTYL. Be well.
You’re right!
Uh Oh, bribing the inspector 🙀😀. Moving down a slippery slope there. Next thing you know, there will be demands for fresh caught tuna fish. Cabinets look really good and a nice simple solution for the windows, which is always the best type of solution.
So so engaging! Between you and Peter my IQ goes up 5 pts just watching!!! Seriously!
thank you!
glad you passed the inspection
BRILLIANT Frigging solution to the window problem!!!!!
Looks fantastic. I love the weight savings on the whole project!
I'm not into boating at all, actually hate being on boats 😅 But I really enjoy seeing you guys working on one.
Yes, I noticed your hand there too. Careful Matt. How are you going to stop the doors from annoying the heck out of you both in all but the flattest Seas? Magnets maybe? Or some type of pop-up button? They do look good though ✌️
In what way could the doors be annoying?
Cabinets looking good. Impressive.
Love the inspector !!, Also great window solution
If it’s lead you use to hold down while curing, a tip is to paint or epoxi them so not to get lead powder in the air or floating around in the workshop
Inspektor 🐈👍😂
Mit einer Blende lässt sich das Problem am Fenster gut verstecken 👍

I saw the bread boxes in place and wondered if that was just going to be dead space under it? The next second I saw it again and there was a piano hinge in it! So that answered my question. Then the next 10 minutes was on how the hinge got there! Those look a LOT like Steven Dashew's design for hull side cabinetry in his Deerfoot & Sundeer designs. Good choice! Good job!
yep, inspired by Dashew's design!
Did you say "Bbreaucat"? Brilliant :-) Love the dramatic frame, the side stories and as always the absolut adorable choice of music!
Love the podcast still conversation between the normal explanation audio.
16:58 the little pop out when you push style handles i would guess
Awesome window treatment!
That portlight solution is brilliant! That would've driven me to insanity if I had to look at that askew frame throughout my ownership. Well done. Bill / SY Miss Foxy, Singapore.
You may not have mastered all the knowledge and techniques, but you sure have mastery over your ability to learn and problem solve.
It's wednesday boys and girls!
The hardest are the "design decisions". Imagining the alternatives, weighing each of them. Each of such decisions has a technical side of feasibility and fulfilling necessary and sufficient conditions (strength, waterproofness, durability) and often there's a need to take other things into account. If you design, say, a huge chemical plant with pipes, vessels, etc, and stairs for maintenance and safety related jobs, then designing the route of a pipe may not clash into stairs, but actually take the space away for a human that has to climb the stairs. So, implications of a design decision.
In a relation with a spouse, then the biggest deciding factor may become the "WAF" (wife acceptance factor) - aesthetics play a big role, too.
Hard criteria, soft ones, implications. Every new detail requires to pay attention to those and 10, or 1, or 100 decisions later you may regret this one. Here, the expert paradox predicts that someone with more in depth knowledge who can take this all into account, will actually do so. Consequently such a person needs more time than another person who JFDI. And JFDI often leads to less ergonomics, less quality, less aesthetics that all translate into higher costs in the future (higher TCO).
