Close enough is the trademark for any craftsman. The difference between a master cabinet maker and a beginner, the master knows how to cover mistakes better.
A mistake is not correcting something that is wrong, admiting you found an error and corrected it is a sign of a craftsman.... its all part of the journey of learning something new and nothing to be ashamed of......keep plugging along, there will be many more "mistakes", its all about how you respond to them.
I’m a recovering perfectionist myself Jon! Perfectionism is a joy robber and you are so right…good enough IS perfect!! I love watching and listening!! ❤
I'm a bit of a perfectionist myself; I've learned to enjoy solving the problems I create (by making infuriating mistakes!) as much as designing the original solutions (without "breaking the bank"). Loved your solution to the layout error!
Thank you! 🙏 I’ve also come to realize that there’s always something else over the horizon so a mistake that bothers me today is usually forgotten by the time the next one rolls around… so I try to keep that in perspective and not let these things bother me to begin with… 🙌👍
That was pretty small mistake with very simple solution around it. No worries, it's still "perfect" (not just "good enough") 😉 Keep in mind that the only ones that don't make mistakes are the people that don't do anything! Keep up the good work...
I agree. This is a pretty small issue. Probably could have just hid it from the cameras but the struggle as a perfectionist is real. Haha !!! Thanks for the encouragement. 🙏👍🙌
No need to hide it. After all, the point of watching a restoration project is to see (and learn) the troubleshooting that goes around the problems that come up. The solution in this case, was made simple by you! (I was thinking "there goes a coosa board in the scrap bin") 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Nice work---glad you included your "booboo" and how you were able to work around it. Very enjoyable episode. You are working with materials that I am only vaguely familiar with (through hearsay, mostly) and I am impressed. If I were in your shoes, I would be tearing what little hair I have left out! Looking forward to #16!
Hi. Thanks for the feedback. 🙏 It is a big learning process but I’m getting a good feel for it which should hopefully allow me to work back to the stern more efficiently. Let’s hope! 😂.
I gotta say I love the way you are going about these repairs. There is definitely no better materials available and the vacuum bagging is amazing. In the end you will have the strongest Liberty on the water. Now I wait for the next episode, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the feedback. It will be so rewarding to see this deck all rebuilt. I appreciate your interest to follow along and the encouragement along the way. Cheers. 🙏👍🙌
Another great episode, Jon. Never apologize for your pursuit of perfection, it is what makes your channel worth watching in the sea of mediocre diy ‘good enough’ fixer uppers. You are joining the ranks of Aladino, Johan, Mads, and Matt and if you keep it up you will hit 100 thousand subscribers in no time.
Thanks Torsten. I appreciate that vote of confidence. I will keep aiming for high quality work. Especially for important systems like the decks. I just sometimes need to stress less about things that won’t ultimately matter. I appreciate the feedback as you follow the journey. Cheers!! 🙏👍🙌
watching youtubers' mistakes is oftentimes more valuable to me than if the mistakes are edited out. I appreciate your courage, and will remind you that you are not beholden to your mistakes...own them, not the other way around. i imagine that deck is sooo much more solid now than it was. good job, godspeed.
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate that! The deck is SO stiff now (I still have a lot of area to cover and final top coat of glass but so far so good!!! 🙏🙌🙌👍👍
Wow. Thank you. Maya and Aladino are an inspiration and we have had a few chances to hang out which is fun. In fact, I think it’s my turn to pay for dinner… 🤔 This comment means a lot to me so thank you. 🙏👍🙌
I remember those squishy deck days...walking around the deck after pulling up the teak and having "core juice" ooze up through the screw holes everywhere I stepped! 😂
Literally, leading up to 7:30, i was thinking, typical engineer perfectionist. Hello everyone! I'm Jon - Im a perfectionist. Heeeey Jon!!! Welcome to the group - youre in a safe space now.
The only way to guarantee you never make a mistake is to never make anything at all... ... and that would be rather dull ;-) I suspect this channel will be massive and will be a great resource to many who are undertaking their own projects. To that end would it be possible for you to provide some sort of index on your website that links tasks and skills to specific videos so viewers can find the info they need and not miss out on these gems of knowledge? Wishing you every success...
i also rebuilt a Liberty 458 which was sunk in Hurricane Andrew. Not to the level you are but we gave her a new life. Recently sold her to a young couple who are continueing the work.
Perfect is the mortal enemy of Good (enough) and good is a bosom buddy of Done and Dusted. Always strive for Good and keep the goal in sight. If you always insist on perfect, your descendants will talk about the perfect project that you worked your whole life on.
I totally know the feeling of taking a long time to finish a project because you want to make it match your vision. Unfortunately, I can't keep doing that because I have other projects that also demand my time and may be higher priority. So, I've co-opted a phrase from @hownot2 that I'm trying to apply more in my own life. That phrase is "super good enough". That being said, I think you and Mads over at @SailLife have provided a lot of value by being so thorough in documenting your work. Even though it may be taking you longer than you expected, you're providing a lot of value to the sailing/boating community and I for one really appreciate it.
Super good enough. Haha. I like that! Thanks for the message. I appreciate the feedback. It’s a big project that we have here and the documentation step adds a lot of time but I’m enjoying telling the story and keeping the record. I’m glad that you’re enjoying it too. Cheers! 👍🙏🙌
Thanks for sharing. For your perfectionism, look at what you are replacing, you are making a bullet proof foredeck. I think the only downside for you is that the work will take more time. If that is okay for you keep at it. Grtz from Holland.
Dank u wel! 🙏. I know it’s a big project that will take time and sweat. That’s why I wanted to do it now and I think it’s worth it. Maybe not financially, haha. But in other ways 🙂👍
well done - attention to detail puts you in the Aladino (magic carpet ride ) and Mads (Sail Life) and although slower the results will be outstanding and the boat will be better than new - love the bits where you used gauges etc to validate results rather than the ol feels ok - I also follow an Aussie (she'll be right) on "Reviving The Enchantress", sadly he will have a boat that will be good for maybe 10 - 20 years ??, before the boat will be scrap, or someone will have to redo a lot of his work - the upside of the near enough is good enough approach, is he will splash a lot sooner and be out enjoying sailing his dream in a $500 purchase - But still love his enthusiasm and have a go attitude, so not a criticism but an observation. I am also subbed to both your channels along with about 50 more. Ex sailor now with the rank of Rear Arm Chair Admiral (retired)
I appreciate this feedback. Thank you ! 🙏. I follow the enchantress also. He came in the scene at about the same time and I like his enthusiasm for a really ambitious project! I will get the pace up as I get more efficient with timing/editing/being a decent husband… thanks for watching. Cheers! 👍👍👍
Never sweat the mistakes ... it is always way more satisfying to come up with a work around to fix it -- a boost of confidence when you overcome a misstep can help carry you on to the next goalpost. Very nice job on the foray into vacu-bagging -- that turned out very stiff (the deflection is impressive), kudos on the result. Keep the content coming -- we'll all be watching!!!
Thank you! I appreciate that. It’s fun to see it starting to come together as I gain some confidence with these new tools, materials, and techniques! 👍🙌
As an engineer, I totally relate to your “perfectionist” challenges. When I take on unfamiliar tasks, I do my homework but always overthink the process. The job usually comes out to my satisfaction (eventually) but I’m glad that I don’t have to film and share my processes. I really enjoy your videos. You are right that “good enough” is the best standard and the only way that a big project like this can ever be completed. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing your learning journey through your work. Perfectionism can also paralyze you and stop you from moving through a project if you hold onto that mindset. Letting go of perfectionism is the mark of life long learner too. Thanks again for your work
Yeah. That’s a connection that I’ve only recently realized between perfectionism and procrastination. Definitely a real thing. Life is too short (but I will still strive for high end work 😉) Cheers!! 🙏👍
2 suggestions for possible projects - Bow Thruster ? check out water jet thrusters - buy or design your own ? and check out Mads on sail life slide out solar panels to have 4 panels in the space for 2 - "Sail Life - 1600W of solar☀ on a 38 ft sailboat & re-stepping the mast"
Thanks for the tips. Bob Perry recommended the jet thruster also when we did the initial refit interview.

Another great episode have you ever watched matt on the durocell project he his a young man who is converting an ocean going yacht into a cruiser like yourself in his backyard it is quite big worth watching see you next time 😊😊😊
Good stuff, Jon. Love hearing the lessons you’re learning. What’s the saying? It doesn’t have to be perfect; it just needs to be done. Keep rolling! These are great!
Dude , edits are getting close! I’d say do t shoot for even pretty good, your at the front 4 feet of the boa with several other feet behind lol! Go sailing soon!
Thank you kindly! 🙏 I will forever be Canadian!! I do t live there at the moment but it’s part of who I am and the American viewers will probably know I’m not from here because of how I say “boat” 😆 🙌👍
I'm impressed. Twenty eight years ago I spent some time making windsurfing fins out of G10 and some custom fiberglass layup drops from a marine contractor. I sure wish I had your diamond abrasives and cutting tools. My homemade board and fins worked as well as what was available at retail. I was quite happy. I sailed that kit for ten years. But hand filing that material was very tedious. You're doing great work. Your remanufactured boat will be of far better quality than when new.
Thank you. I agree. Small things like this shouldn’t get in the way of a good day and are usually forgotten by the time the next imperfection comes along anyway. 🙏🙌
You're an engineer and I'm no more a perfectionist because I understood a simple rule from the mathematician Maurice Paréteau "You get 80% of result with 20% of effort against 20% of result for 80% of effort". This means, you have to find a balance between time invested and the result. Keep you're nice work, really enjoy and find your channel from Sailing Magic Carpet
I appreciate that. Thanks! I’m a big fan of their work and they happen to be really great folks. Once while I was in school I studied 80% of the material for a test up to a pretty high degree. Then the test was exclusively on the other 20%… it didn’t go so well. I’m not sure how the metaphor applies, but it reminded me of that and made me laugh. 😂
Boat + materials estimated cost to complete Vs just purchasing a boat good to go ? Then again somethings you can not put a price on and I get that. Great channel and very, very well presented well done.
Thank you! 🙏👍🙌 I am under no illusion that this is the cheaper, easier, or faster way to get on the water. … I always say: “there has to be a harder way?!”
@@livingforsail I would probably say it cheaper just to purchase a boat ready to go if such a thing even exists but this at least gives the chance to know your boat in much greater detail. Not to mention I often do work that I could pay others for but I just enjoy the project. I think it will work out more expensive for you but you will have something special in the end. Something personal and that you can not really put a price on. I would not worry about looking for perfection as again its you boat your time and your money.. Enjoying the show so far as I am laid up with a little injury and it took my mind of that .... Duracell project is a channel that would interest and help you if you get time take a look...
Deck coming along amazing Jon, I think if you do something, do it as best as you can...If someone can show you how to do it better.... learn from that as well. I am looking forward to more antidote progress. Peace out
Hey Andrew. That’s a good way to look at it. I will always aim for high quality work. My “good enough” might still seem a bit overboard to some people. Haha. Take care out there! 👍🙏
how bad were the bulwarks condition wise? would love to see the complete interior condition for the before and after pictures. thanks for sharing on the journey.
A craftsman opps are only know to them. As many times I sold my work and knew of a few things that complications arose. I the only one that sees it. And after many punch lists and what was found I was really. And thankful also. Remember what you’re doing is using newer technology on an old product. A proven product before this newer technology and applications.
Seems like you'd need to scuff-sand the G-10 too, prior to laying it down? Or is the surface somehow prepared in advance or you simply didn't show that part?
Not necessary. It will give you the most uniform bond and WAY more pressure than you would otherwise be able to get. That bag at -20” hg is like having a few thousand pounds of weight. So, less bracing required to keep the shape and better result. Also more money, hassle, and awesomeness 🙌🙌👍

I don’t plan to abandon high end workmanship. Only to focus on the goal posts and try to be balanced in how I decide to invest the time on the project. 👍🙏

This comment means a lot to me so thank you. 🙏👍🙌
I'm also a Jon! I would like to quote a colleague of mine "Perfect is the enemy of good"
Hi Jon! Amen to that! 👍🙌
I love the idea of a wet tile saw for the G10 insert at the bow. Such a great way to keep the dust down.
It’s worked really well! 👍👍
Failures are lessons. Lessons, lessen failure.
There you go. Well said! 🙏👍🙌
Really informative episode Jon. Your 485 is certainly worth the effort your extending in her restoration.
Thank you! I appreciate that. Cheers. 🙏👍🙌
Never was perfect but getting better at close enough. Thanks for your inspiration!

Congrats John, good job. 👍

What’s the saying? It doesn’t have to be perfect; it just needs to be done. Keep rolling! These are great!
I appreciate that man. Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏

🤔… yeah, I’ve still got my work laid out for me but not going to cut corners now just to get out sooner. 😜
Brilliant trip you are taking us on - thank you. Tell me - are you still Canadian? I hope so.

same filming you can make two channels one engineering and 1 just a technical parts .... and just both building 👍🏻

A craftsman opps are only know to them. As many times I sold my work and knew of a few things that complications arose. I the only one that sees it. And after many punch lists and what was found I was really. And thankful also. Remember what you’re doing is using newer technology on an old product. A proven product before this newer technology and applications.
That a good way to look at it. Thanks ! 🙏👍
Nice job again. Why do you use 3 different materials as core.?
I’m looking for different material properties (compressive strength, stiffness, etc). Some of the earlier videos explain the reasoning. 🙏👍
well after i sent a comment then subscribed I got my answer pertaining to the bulwarks. now to read. any interior pics?
Haha. Great. Check out episode 2 and 3. There’s lots of interior shots in those.
Cheers!
hah, perfectionism… don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
👆👍
Seems like you'd need to scuff-sand the G-10 too, prior to laying it down? Or is the surface somehow prepared in advance or you simply didn't show that part?
Yes! Every face and edge that will be glued is scuffed and cleaned prior to installation. I guess I breezed over that in the video. Good catch!
🙌👍
Perfect is the enemy of good….
Well said. Thank you. 🙏👍🙌
Do you need to scuff the surface of the G10 before glueing to give the epoxy something to bite with?
Yes. I used my angle grinder w/ 36 grit flap wheel. 👍

I’m wondering where did you get your roof trusses
I made them. Check out the previous video for a LITTLE bit more info on the shed… cheers. 👍🙌
Is it nessesary to vacum. Could you glue the parts together and put som weight on?
Glue with epoxy. Nice videos. I am learning.
Not necessary. It will give you the most uniform bond and WAY more pressure than you would otherwise be able to get.
That bag at -20” hg is like having a few thousand pounds of weight.
So, less bracing required to keep the shape and better result. Also more money, hassle, and awesomeness
🙌🙌👍
how long did it take you to work throught that g10 with the diamond blade?
With the diamond blade in the wet saw it cuts easily. Even the 3/4 thick piece cuts faster than porcelain tile. 👍🙌
*That* does not count as a mistake.
🤣🤣🤣. Yeah, it’s all good. 🙏👍
Om just wondering, how far back are the videos from your work? (When was this recorded?)
It was recorded over the last couple of weeks. If it wasn’t completely fresh we stand by our 100% freshness guarantee and you may submit your claim for a full refund.
@@livingforsailHa! Love the humor!
Ok just watched this and you had breather fabric. My bad
All good.
5000….😂
I may have underestimated… 👍
Never learned anything doing it right.
Isn’t that the truth?! Cheers. 🙏👍🙌
Maintain the OCD. Anything else will come back to bight your bum.
I don’t plan to abandon high end workmanship. Only to focus on the goal posts and try to be balanced in how I decide to invest the time on the project. 👍🙏
You will be too old to sail by the time u finish your boat.
