So far, Colin, I have watched up to this video, Part 4. Your workmanship is amazing, the sort of thing may Father could have done but I certainly could not. I shall come back and watch some more of your progress. Thanks for sharing your experience. Regards Michael
Mark Naylor hi glad you liking it , just enjoyed saying how it is, and having a bit of fun doing it .Now enjoying taking a rest and enjoying the boat .
Just discovered your channel and I'm now binge-watching your videos. Love your style, and like others have said, it's great to watch a true craftsman doing a real job in a real environment.
Well I watched it all through, as I have done on your other videos. I am catching up from day 1 and so far I am totally impressed with your craftsmanship with the portholes. Nice to see traditional trades are still alive and kicking. Incidentally, you remind me of Mr Tom from Goodnight Mr Tom played by John Thaw. I am now glued (you could say Cascamited) to this channel to catch up to the present day. Regards, Geoff.
I have a garage, I even have a workbench. Now all I need is the knowledge, skill, ability, guts and energy to actually use them to make something useful :-)
u sir are fullfilling my dream and ove all the trouble you have gone too with those oak windows stunning is best word and well worth all ur effort congrats.
Having fitted out 3 shells, starting in1974 with my dad, then extending that and up grading it, the last 57’ trad, being in 2000. I have always gone with Aluminium, which has its disadvantages, specifically there being no thermal break. That said have you decided on how you are going to seal the wood to the Steel. If you are taking delivery in primer or bare steel, spend some time and remove the mil scale from around the seating area and if possible, the whole of the cabin sides. The best results I achieved were, back to bare steel gunwale to roof( angle sanding with 3M 40grit) wipe down with panel wipe, brush primer and top coat, coach paint rather than spray 7 times the thickness, ( primer is porous) put windows in with builders mastic, fit boat out, remove windows, flat off top coat and repainting final colours.
Nice work Colin. 👍 Interested in your choice of glues and finish - did you not consider using polyester epoxy to provide more durability in a ‘marine’ environment?
Hello Colin. I've just been watching the porthole liner build and I have eight to make. I would like to know where you sourced the thin oak strips from. I have searched the internet without luck. Best wishes with the build. Andrew
I am using 3M Thinsulate , that’s 19 mm thick , with 3 layers and air gaps in between.didn’t won’t to use Sprayfoam of all the mess that goes with it .also I could do it myself and there is no mess or leftovers.Its not a cheap option but I just fancied using it .
Thanks for your reply Colin can i ask what is that insulation you are using, not the spray foam they usually have, or is it because you bought just a shell?
Hi Colin, just come across this vlog thought you looked familiar saw you working inside your boat at the Warf asked you where the office was, looks like a long project, how long do you predict?
Love your videos, EXCEPT the very high volume of the music! Music is WAY too loud. I have the sound up to hear you clearly then the music comes on screaming at us! Love your work and listening to your explanations. Cheers!

I really enjoyed watching and hearing the down to earth commentary on this, very refreshing.

I marvel at craftspeople like yourself. Looking forward to your progress; i'm sure it's going to be beautifully interesting.
Brilliant!
Nice work Col, great to see real craftsmen instead of all the pretenders, looking forward to watching your videos.
Loving your build and craftsmanship glad we’ve gone landscape now! Now going to watch the rest. Beautiful work love a bit of oak.

Hi that’s right I remember, small world , won’t take me that long just keep at it and enjoy it , but I have no time frame .

I just ripped it down on the saw bench around 1/8th thick or there about .
I love long videos. I get sick of watching ten minute snippets.
