Hey that’s us motoring by at 1:34!! 👋🏻
Ha that's so cool! What a coincidence 😁
“ I’m gonna get rid of the green wire. I don’t really need it”. We don’t need no stinking ground wire.
Sam I noticed you working inside your cockpit locker. It reminded me the time I had my Cape Dory 25 on the hard for the winter years ago at Don Paul’s Dahlgren Marine Works on Upper Machodic Creek off the Potomac River. I was working inside the locker. I failed to tie open the latch to the lifeline when the wind blew it closed while I was inside. Of course the latch was self locking me inside the locker. I thought for a minute it’s cold and if Paul would hear me tapping on the hull to let me out. I decided to lay on my back and was successful kicking the hatch back open. The cast bronze latch broke allowing me to get back out. Stainless would have made it more difficult.
Fair winds and following seas on your sailing adventure.
Love your channel Sam . Some trivia ... In the early 70's I wanted to pursue machining for a career . My dad told me no , they have printing machines that will make your job obsolete . I never listened to my dad . I'm retired now , Westsail 28 sitting in the marina . Watching you printing parts out is amazing .
Yup! I was a pattern/model maker for 20 years. In the late 90s I saw it all going away and found a new profession
Love it when you said tank will fit perfectly if I cut the hole bigger lol
Glad you got the package Sam, fair winds and following seas!
I said it in the last and ill say it again, you gotta thread and dye things with a half turn forward, quarter turn back, half turn forward, quarter turn back, etc..., method, its important to establish the grooves after cutting them, your going through everything twice while still making progress, I highly reccomend it Sam!
its been really hurtin to see you not doin it
Adding another comment so the algorithm deems it worthy for Sam to see.
bad threads leads to broken hardware that’s vital
As a machinist that is correct. 1/2 turn 1/4 turn. The 1/4 turn back removes the chip you just cut.

Love your video's. It's even better that they are now daily. One suggestion though, every time 2 surfuses come together and constantly slide against each other, (or rotate), use a greasy type lubricant. Things will last much longer. ie; much less wear and tear. You didn't hear me shouting when you re-built your auto tiller? 😉😎👍
Green wires are ground wires. They should all be run to a common point for all circuits. (Think of a fuse box for a house. Black and red are Hot, White is neutral, And green goes to Earth ground, the 3rd prong on a plug.) They are needed to prevent shocks, and clean up electrical signals in your entire electrical system. Radios and nav equipment, computers, can all be affected by "dirty" voltage that has interference caused by other equipment on your boats circuits and switches. If you wire in a fan, the brushes create static which feeds back into the wires and can affect sensitive equipment.
Excellent job with your 3D printing. Being able to print parts has definitely simplified some of your work. 👍
Hi Sam, it might be worth emailing Peter Foerthmann who makes the Windpilot windvanes with a link to this vid. I communicated with him a fair bit before I purchased my Windpilot and he's a really nice helpful guy. He might be able to advise if you are on the right track with that washer you made and if the increase in friction is ok.
Shim the big black bearing/bushing up higher from underneath it as opposed to having the gear ride on the 3D printed shim. The shim you made prob won’t hold up to the friction.
delrin could be good alternative. ruclips.net/video/YEz-r8KDY-0/видео.html
This is actually a very good point. That bushing was designed to be in contact with that gear.
Use a suitable grease!
Sam is an interesting mix of let's replace it and fuck it let's make it work with these parts I found in a hole in the back yard.
Wow Sam, great progress..it’s amazing what you can make with your 3D printer. The boat is really coming together. Stay safe ⛵️⛵️⛵️😊
I was like - nope that tank was not going to fit but Sam Holmes delivered! Great boat projects getting Pickle read for a big ocean crossing adventure! Thanks for sharing!
How happy is Sam with a task or project at hand. Great to watch and learn from your challenges and solutions.
You amaze me at your one-handed tasks. Looking great! Nice that you are getting some sail time with friends.
love your movies and work on the boat one tip when you using tools to and thread, use more oil and avoid so much heat, and for each round you make a thread take a full round back before making a new one :)
Awesome video Sam,
Great job squeezing in that tank, very satisfying indeed.
All the best!
I thought for sure he would put a vacuum in that tank :-).
@@hmspain52 he probably 3d printed on in the deleted scenes.
Always a big smile when you are sailing.
I really enjoyed this episode. You certainly got a lot accomplished. Well done!
We have a been in a similar situation with getting tanks a such.. I used a vacuum pump the last time and it worked well.
A favorite expression of mine is "I have put bigger things in smaller places". I think you got me beat! Love the 3d printing. Consider giving an overview for all of us?
Excellent video Sam! I hope the PrintDry filament dryer is serving you well.
You are one great 👍 person Sam
I love your video’s Sam. They relax me, lol. I’ve been praying for you & will continue praying for you on your much anticipated Atlantic Journey. 🤲
Most Excellent Tutorials!
Hey Sam! I just found your channel recently and I am loving your content. I have never sailed, so I am not sure if this would work, but I use teflon plumber's tape to reduce friction between swaybars and the bushings in automotive applications and it seems to hold up for multiple years and protect the bushings from wear and eliminate squeaks. You may be able to use it to reduce life chafing, and it is very compact. Hope you are doing well and I am excited to see more content!
Sam that printed washer under the Crown Ring Gear is going to cause you issues
It’s going to soften (heat) and then harden and bind up and completely stop movement. Wound not suggest leaving that on a major venture. If it was a coated thin aluminum washer you’d have better luck. ( paper thin )
The amount of knowledge in that brain of yours. You are an extreme multi-tasker and creative problem solver! Impressive.
I really look forward to your videos...Great work Sam..👍🍻
If you ever sell that boat, the new owners are going to be like... "How the F#$^ did he get that gas tank in there?!?!"
Love your videos Sam! A friend of mine is having their large intestine removed also and will be living with a stoma for a while (quite similar series of surgeries to yours) and linked them your channel and video discussing colitis, and they were quite relieved to see that you are able to sail solo and be independent.
Sam. Ur the most solution oriented ever. Well done. Keep it up!
Gozzard 36 is one of my favorite boats of all time!
Ha ha. I love how you cut yourself off with your video edits. Great episode. You deserve many more subs.
Nice upgrades man! Talented person, safe sailing
I hope all the 3D stuff you're printing isn't PLA... I've made a few scuba diving accessories from PLA and it did not fare well in salt water (became very brittle and broke). I've had better luck with PETG.
He says it's ASA and should be UV resistant
isnt it nice to get something in the mail besides bills? i order from amazon and ebay all the time just to equal it out, then i get my amazon and credit card bills :)
mail yourself money
Where there's a will , there's a way 💯 👍 Nice job Sam💯stay safe🙏
Love the gas tank problem. SAM DOES NOT GIVE UP.
Can't wait to see you in Bermuda and the Azores!
A fan of the Sea Quench I see! A good beer out on the seas in the heat!
I'm your fanboy Sam and I love all the DIY. I dont know anything about boats but I dont think that 3D printed washer will last long, regardless of the print material. Please let us know how long it lasts. We appreciate you experimenting but please have the proper part as backup 👊
He definitely relies on his printed stuff a lot.
I just finish watching your videos and you are one great person great 👍 I like you video
Awesome show.
It seems to me hou have all the tools like a 3D printer and stuff, love to see how you improve things
Good Video Sam. Keep up the good work!
For the desiccant just buy silica gel cat litter.
Great video as always Sam! But DANG! You really named that beautiful boat the "Pickled Herring"!! 🤣🤣🤣 funny stuff, I guess the rest of the world is serious enough as it is. Stay safe out there Capt! Perhaps I'll see you on the seas one day.
Good stuff she’s gonna be a dream to sail
good for you, man
Sam, you are a legend!
Really, this Dude has huge balls...sailing Master! Blew it to Hawaii in a 23'! God like!
I haven’t quite figured out the balance between “half-assed Sam” and “way-to-go, innovative Sam”. While he takes way more chances than I would (even at his age), I am genuinely rooting for him and wish him the best of luck.
Agree. I watch just to see what problems he'll run in to and how he'll react to them. The 3d printed wedges seem like a bad idea, the moving parts aren't lubricated, etc... It's entertaining and I wish him the best of luck. I just hope he tests the boat thoroughly and breaks whatever is going to break before getting out in blue water.
@@KevinDye101 Since you wrote this, Sam has mad crossings! Visited Scandinavia, and he just keeps on sailing, without putting him self in to dept. Close to his "home" in the US, he had a hurricane. You should definitely root for him.... He has proven to be a nice guy, and he definitely loves sailing. Just to see him with his hero, from Norway. You better understand. Fair Winds Sam
Great video!
Amazing what you can print!! Have you also 3D printed extras of things that you have printed just in case, to help you with your crossing. Or are you taking your 3D printer with you!!!
Good luck getting that tank out haha
Beautiful boat you went sailing on. Will you do another shakedown sail before leaving?
Me trying to watch some of the older videos, while my femur heals. Live in Denmark and Finland, and i would have liked to meet you. But mabye you come back to Scandinavia again one day? My question: The 3D printed item's, could you not just have made them in wood? Also the plastic used, was there a little give in that? Fair winds Sam
Ordered my parts for my oday 28 universal diesel once its up and running ill motor over to lift and haul out for bottom job and thru hulls transducers whatever else when she goes back in im goin sailing
Hi Sam, why is home for Pickled Herring Ft Myers ?? Thanks for all you do. Love the videos !
Great vid sam
Hope you invested in to a head mounted GoPro dude. Awesome boat dude
I feel so bad forcing you to do EVERYTHING with ONE hand just so you can make these wonderful videos!
Why not wear a go pro😘?
have you noticed the terrible smell from the fiberglass heat wrap on the exhaust, takes a long time to burn off.
Those Gozzards are great boats, but 💰💰💰💰
I was typing get a vacuum pump and collapse the tank, right as you kicked it down the hole.
😆🙂
@ Max Power that was a good idea tho.
Use the old tank for diesel varmer
Hey Sam! Great Work!
What website did you use to find those fonts for the vinyl cutter?
I would have used the smaller fuel tank as a dedicated heater fuel. Need pump, electric source for pump, and diverter connecting both tanks if need extra fuel for motor or heater. Just a thought.
I'd also add 2 filers: one for both tanks. And make sure you have adequate ventilation for both tanks
How well does all of that 3D part filament hold up in UV?
I've had lots of plastic parts last no longer than a couple of months before becoming brittle and disintegrating.
This comment made me do some research on this. So PETG is the #1 it looks like, it's naturally UV resistant, has a good tensile strength and has a lower printing temp. #2 is ASA though which is good for parts to be used in direct sunlight, rain, and wind without any issues, although it is harder to print with as it's thicker than ABS (which is already tricky).
Why not connect both fuel tanks together and increase the fuel capacity?
Hey Sam what are the planks at the bottom of the stantans for
Big fan! What Is your primary device to Navigate the oceans?
What model plotter do you use for your vinyl?
Sam please turn up the volume
What programs do you run for your printer?
Thanks,
T.
Where are you doing this? Did you rent that place?
Sam, when you go back to Hawaii please let me be first mate. I have job burnout and need a long break.
is your fuel filter in a place where it is easy to change?
(15:00) "... kind of a *hack!"*
Man, your whole boat is kind of a hack (good ones tho ...)
#SamHolmesSailing try self amalgamating tape to protect antenna connections from grounding and corrosion.
Have you managed to get the nylon 3d working?
How does asa print compared to pla or abs?
When in doubt pack it in grease.
see you
Looking really good Sam how are you doing hope to find you well your boat is shaping up now you have extra fuel supply we're all praying for you Sam stay safe out there bro can't wait to see you back on the water on your next journey God bless you have a good one man. From Ray Garrett Roseville California USA.
It's got to be a little harder doing all the rigging with just one hand because the other is holding the camera/phone, but it come out well!
Looking at all the plastic 3d printed parts and i'm thinking you need a friend with a cnc milling machine that would make things from real materials :D
Bigger budget! Good job Sir!
👍!!!
Hey Sam... would you want to sell your old dodger? I can modify it if needed to fit my O'Day 23. I don't know that I'm up to building a hard dodger but sure want one.
Did anyone catch the name of that font website? Or Sam could you share?
Have you found the printed plastic pieces to be durable?
He’s literally just started using them...
Man where do you find people to not only buy you stuff but send it to you too!?! LOL
Love your vids ! Can you put links to your equipment / tools, etc ? Wouldn't you make income from Amazon, ect? What kind of 3D printer do you use?
Ok, saw in the vid the model you use... thx ;-)
How much free stuff do you get for doing this on average? I think its awesome and i would like to know more
Go sailing brother !!!!!
At 2:25...that's what she said.
All my robots are hard at work.
Nope, I ment at 22:25, that's what she said
the dock in front of the Bean was empty just about all weekend
