    I'd like to see an "Andrea's Choice Beverage" of the week segment. Maybe that's a PSL, maybe that's a nice chianti, maybe that's straight vodka? Inquiring minds want to know! I always appreciate the tips and tricks regarding grain orientation and cupping, etc. Thanks for all your hard work in the rush of shoulder season. Cheers from Whitehorse!

      Hi Chris, Andrea here:) I love your new segment idea. I do like a good Chianti, but my drink of choice is usually prosecco or a white wine. I hope you and yours a keeping safe and warm up there!

    Glad to have rejuvenated your tool crib some ... never enough tools.
    I think you willj also find that Le Tonkinois will rejuvenate your wood really nicely. I've been using it for years now, after finding out about it from the boat shop at the Dolphin Club in SF where it is the finish of choice for the old old old Whitehall rowing boats.
    Almost quit the video before the teaser at the end ... 5200 ... (*&*(^&)%*&%*_ ... I spent hours of time this month removing two fixed ports from my sailboat. They had been bedded with 5200. Each fixed "dead" port took over five hours to remove because of that stuff!

    • @TravelsWithGeordie
      @TravelsWithGeordie  2 дня назад +1

      Thanks again Robert! It was a great surprise.
      Yes - I think there should be a t-shirt that says 'just say no to 5200'. I am glad you were victorious with your port lights!

  • @johnmorrison1180
    @johnmorrison1180 2 дня назад +2

    Still puzzled as to why steel fastenings were used in these wonderfull old wooden boats? Was it cost? Or maybe marine grade fasteners weren’t available at the time. Was it a 1950 or earlier build?

    • @TravelsWithGeordie
      @TravelsWithGeordie  2 дня назад

      To be fair John, more of the fasteners in Poem- built 1938, were originally galvanized iron. But over time, the zinc disappears and then we are left with, well, you know...

    To be rejuvenated is great but I have to comment on the free hand router work. Your skills let you get away with it but some of your viewers may not be so skilled. One hand on the router and one on the work will probably not work well for most.

    @TairnKA 2 дня назад +1

    Watching you make your templet reminded me of when I was a kid and used loose change, bottle and jar caps, etc... for fillets, radiuses, wheels, etc... ;-D
    Years later, my dad gave me $20.0 to buy I believe a T-square, but I also got a circle guide (bye caps and coins), some triangles and other drafting tools.
    When my dad asked for the change back, at first was upset I spent so much, but I believe he saw I needed them and left me alone to draw things.

  • @eamonnfanton2165
    @eamonnfanton2165 2 дня назад +1

    who would have known boats don't like water 😀
    Would an epoxy varnish fix all your woes? Thin coat to soak in and then a couple of coats of epoxy varnish. Never used it but I would imagine it would be less susceptible to UV damage , harder wearing, and longer lasting than normal varnishes

    • @TravelsWithGeordie
      @TravelsWithGeordie  2 дня назад

      Thanks for the thought. I must say, I'm weary of epoxy varnishes like All Grip. I wonder what repairability is like.

    @jonschulman5754 День назад

    I've been using Tonkinois (a.k.a. Tonk) for many years now, and I love it. Of course no varnish product to perfect, and the more forgiving it is to apply the worse the final outcomes tends to be. I have found Tonkinois hits just the right balance - allowing it to be less than a total pain in the ass to use while still providing (usually) excellent results! One of the things I value most about Tonk is that when it eventually fails, as all varnishes and paints will do, it doesn't let go and flake off. In fact you can apply new Tonk right over the old stuff if you want after a light scuff and while with a tack cloth.
