“ to err is human” and oh have we all erred my friend. You made me really laugh when you had to trim back the bearers, not laughing at you but remembering my own cock ups. You are doing great and we look forward to future episodes as the Viking masters the measuring tape. Thanks again great stuff.
Fair play to you this is a huge project I,m terribly interested to watch your progress.I,m just about to start a much smaller rebuild of a1950 lifeboat turned sailboat,17ft.,so I,ll be watching and learning. Good luck ,Tom
Hi Tom. Thanks for commenting and for watching our videos. We aim to make a new video every 2 weeks; might be harder during winter, we shall see. I hope you like the videos. Best of luck with your lifeboat project. - Helge
“Then I remembered that I have a reciprocating saw…” My projects tend to take so much longer as I spend much time looking for the tool I know I have… somewhere…
I never thought I would see myself, except for the voice, renovating a boat on RUclips. Measure once, cut three times, is my mantra😢. I empathize so much with you as this is how all of my projects go. Even to the point of forgetting that I have a better tool. (Or, more likely, not being able to find it😮). But soldier on! The end result will be your creation! Hopefully a positive one😊.
Haha! I believe I can measure 10 times and still get it wrong. Or - as this time - forget to think about on more thing that should be measured (the width of the flywheel house). But that is what restoring a boat is all about. Two steps forward - but one step back.... ;-)
Nice work my friend. I have just finished my renovation of a Stigfjord 27 fishing boat. What you are doing now reminds me of what I did 6 years ago. Hang in there, it is so fun when you are done 👍
Hello Helge! As some of your other viewers have mentioned, I am also thoroughly enjoying watching your videos and of course your humour! I'm sure all of your viewers would also admit to making mistakes as part of any project - especially with boats. Hang in there my friend. When you are done, the satisfaction you will enjoy will be worth the effort. In the interim, dust yourself off and have a beer. You've earned one or more ;-). I will leave you with a quote; “Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” So says Ratty to Mole in Kenneth Grahame's classic novel 'The Wind in the Willows'.May 11, 2016 🙂
Thanks, Duncan, for repeatedly giving kind complements on our work. And the SuperThanks, of course! Can you imagine...Taking a hand saw and just starting to saw, coupling out the brain, not considering the fact that I have electric tools that could do the job way faster and with less energy-absorb for me. I am sure you are right. What comes easy - goes easy. "Earning" the boat over time will may be give a longer lasting pleasure, using the boat. (Though I must admit I am nervous about that time, that I will be disappointed in the boat. I pray I will not!) Quotes! I love them. And this quote is so to the point. :-)
@@hsobstad My pleasure Helge. I'm glad you enjoyed the quote. I laughed so hard at the beginning when you were discussing the rips in your dust suit and wondered what would happen when you flexed your muscles. OMG! 😆😅🤣 Until next time- stay well and have a beer!
I have to tell you, I am really enjoying this project. I love the style of the Fisher and your sense of humor matches mine. Yes, crazy summer weather here too. We are in drought conditions, heat wave, forest fires you name it. Finally got some much needed rain yesterday and today. Last episode you said where you lived, well of course I had youtube explore the area. What a beautiful spot in the world to live. I started following another Norwegian fellow, he basically uses his channel to be a tour guide in Norway. Beautiful.
Thanks for telling us. The western part of Norway, from south and all the way up to the north it mindblowing and worth a visit....if you can live with the weather. May be sun, it may be rain, might be warm (not hot) and it might be cold. Who knows? Not the weather-people...! I love to live here and are very "climatised" to what we have. It´s like fall, fall, fall and then winter. But no droughts and heat waves. No (dangerous) sharks and no bad snakes and spiders. Give and take ;-)
Well the way I see it you’re experiencing lack of craftsmanship due to the fact that Sara has taken the day off..!!!😂😂😂😂Good job my friend, keep at it. Thumbs up!!!!
Given how complex engine to shaft alignment is, it is a lot of work to "dry fit " the engine before glassing as compared to glassing and going "oh shit"
I have been in your measurement shoes as well! I have learned to make templates rather than rely on my "expert" measuring skills! 😉 You should make a lightweight frame template of your engine connection points and wide areas so you can test fit without having to lift the engine.😰
Oh yes, but I am a risktaker and believe it all will work out....until it sometimes does´nt. Then I have the option to curse to Neptun the sea god. That seems to work and I redo things. ;-)
4:07 Blimp, i'm disappointment you don't have a fractional banana measuring stick to keep a certain Australian cutting edge engineering channel happy ;-)
Blir jo sliten av å se på deg, så godt jeg allerede satt med en øl i hånden! Dette blir bra til slutt! Hvordan ligger du an i prosessen i forhold til videoer som blir lastet opp? Har du mye opptak som må redigeres, eller kommer videoene på løpende bånd?
Hei Aleksander. Vi er ikke spesielt langt unna nåtid er jeg redd. Har lite å gå på om uforutsette omstendigheter skulle oppstå. Men sånn er youtuber-livet ;-)
its a wonder all your clothes were tearing off you with rage like the incredible hulk when he gets angry after that mess about hard job you could,ve made easier from start ,but it was funny very funny 😂😂
@@hsobstad you never gave up was a good fight with it ,and you won in the end will all be good i dont doubt ,but it realy was too funny to watch i was encouraging you all the way shouting at the screen ,,you wrecked the hand saw get a reciprocating saw then nearly finished you got the right saw ughhhhh
Lysander 17. Cute boat! Pain is not only negative. No pain, no gain they say. This boat dont come easy and hopefully I will enjoy it more since I know every inch of it. 👍😊

Thanks Helge!
Oh, Duncan - again. I dont know what to say. Thanks for this token of appreciation. It means a lot to Sara and me! :-)
@@hsobstad The pleasure is mine.
Glad to see that you still have the sweater. Have fun and take care.
I always keep the sweater close! Just in case... ;-)

Just found your channel, really enjoying your stuff
Thanks, Pete, for telling us. :-)
“Then I remembered that I have a reciprocating saw…” My projects tend to take so much longer as I spend much time looking for the tool I know I have… somewhere…
Yes, how stupid was that. Hand sawing for a long time, putting the brain idle.... ;-D
Love watching you progress through this renovation. Keep up the good work. Making it strong is the way to go, no such thing as overbuilt out at sea.
Yes, overbuilt is the style of this boat (and all the Fisher-boats).
I am enjoying you documenting your work.

I think that was just as painful for us to watch as it was for you.😉 Keep up the good work.😀👍⛵️
Thanks. I guess the old saying, "no pain - no gain", might be correct ;-)
Well the way I see it you’re experiencing lack of craftsmanship due to the fact that Sara has taken the day off..!!!😂😂😂😂Good job my friend, keep at it. Thumbs up!!!!
Ha, ha! Sara is the boss of editing. I am expected to do the sanding stuff. :-)
@@hsobstad I guess it would be better if you let Sara do the measurements to be on the safe side !!!😂😂😂
@@buelentserhan8022 You are more right than you know. Just wait for the next video ;-)
👍
the problem with that suit is during the time you were wearing it you must have turned into The Hulk and not realized it !!!! , nice work !!!
Ha, ha! Nice one!
I used Trex to replace all the outside wood of my boat. Its been 15 years and they hold up better than teak.
I have evaluated that too, as teak is VERY expensive. But so is Trex, actually (at least in Norway). I landed on teak. :-)
Given how complex engine to shaft alignment is, it is a lot of work to "dry fit " the engine before glassing as compared to glassing and going "oh shit"
I tend to believe too much in my skills and go the "oh shit" way. Will probably happen this time too... :-)

Yes, Alan. Spot on! I should have used the standard "banana" to measure sizes and lengths. I am very disappointed with myself! ;-D
😂👍🏻

May be you should put cover on engine, now it is all in epoxy& plywood dust...
You are right. I should have done that :-)
I built a 17' Lysander sailing boat and the next 3 boats I bought. Much less work. I know the pain you must be going through?
Lysander 17. Cute boat! Pain is not only negative. No pain, no gain they say. This boat dont come easy and hopefully I will enjoy it more since I know every inch of it. 👍😊
Extralovely daughter assistant? What happened???
She is doing all the video editing. She will helps at the boat once in a while.
Your wasted suffering gave me no sense of schadenfreude. Honest !
You sounds like one of the good guys, Brian. That´s nice!
