Oh my god! You're building a Destroyer!
I worked in a fabrication shop for over 35 years and have made, built, designed, and repair lots of metal. When you weld on sheet metal you have to weld a 4 to 6 inch pass and let it cool down. The only way I can see to weld the bottom and frames is to only tack the bottom then put the frames in and start welding in strips to keep what we called PULLING. On the boom make sure you grand your stop and start welds. It is the only way to keep a Mig Weld from leaking. I love your boat and can't wait to see it done.
Just found your Channel. First thing I thought was 'it's Leo if he worked with steel'. Great video. I'm going back to watch from the start. Looks like you need a lofting floor.😃
Loving the longer vids!
Its funny how so many of us men get excited when a girlfriend/wife gets hands on and dirty on a build like yours! My wife hates the flesh burning sparks from welders and grinders : (
As mentioned below you need to buy that beautiful young lady her own welding helmet. Progress is looking good. That you are making mistakes isn't a problem, it just happens. But you are learning from them and that's the most important thing to take away from the process.
Looking forward to your next video. Have a great weekend and take your mate out for a nice dinner.
Built a Roberts 36 out of steel. Took 5 years and in those days kits were not available. Set up a plywood measuring jig to make the frames and everything worked well. It doesn't take long to figure out how to manage weld distortions. Sold it a few years ago and the new owner wasn't that knowledgeable about steel and not very handy. As a result it is now scrap. Steel boats need constant attention, more so then any other type of boat. Keep up the good work.
Thnx for your amazing videos brother it really helped me to understand basic ship construction for my 2nd Mates Exam.
Great job your doing. When your partner is pushing down on the leaver tell her not to have her fingers under the bar as if a tack breaks on your bridging angle the bar will crush her fingers. I have subscribed and look forward to watching all your future videos. Keep up the good work. Chris
Currently building a piece of equipment for my employer. A few weeks ago, I showed up with a big Hi-Lift jack, and got a bunch of odd looks and questions about what it was for. "This is my welding distortion removal device." It doesn't matter how precisely the parts were cut or fit to begin with, once you make that first weld it's a different ball game.
On butt joints you can try to control the warpage to some extent by peening the weld. This is hitting it with a hammer on the weld itself but you also will need to brace the other side with something to act as an anvil. The peening will expand the metal in The joint and help to control the shrinkage to an extent thereby controlling the warpage to a degree. I have used this technique to control warpage on meat smokers I have built in the past. It’s simple and it takes time it can slow you down a good bit but the end result is worth the effort in my honest opinion. Hope this helps.
Just binge watched all the episodes and you are doing a cracking job on the filming, editing and explanations, am looking forwards to what’s to come. I am not a welder nor do I know anything about building in steel so this maybe a stupid comment so forgive me if it is ... can you use an air compressor too put cold air on the metal around the welds too cool them down to help with the distortion? Can’t wait for the next one and although I know the longer episodes take a lot more work it is definitely worth it . Xx
Hi Gilly T, thanks for watching so far, and for the kind comment. It is possible to cool the welds down, but using compressed air while welding might blow the shielding gasses away and cause the weld puddle to get porosity. It's more normal to cool the other side of the metal with a large lump of aluminium or copper which conducts the heat away. Because of the amount of welding we have to do I think it would probably be impractical.
Just come across that channel and have subscribed. You might feel you are novices but I think you are doing great work. I find it fascinating to watch someone doing something way beyond my capabilities. Have now watched from episode 1 and look forward to watching many more as you move forward.
Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Thanks Bertie! :)
nice work
The good thing about making a mistakes is that you will always remember them, and that's when you really learning! Thanks for sharing the mistakes for sure it will help lots of people!!
Make sure you always weld on both sides of the stringers and beams.
The water mast have no access to the weld. I have seen boats that only where welded on one side everywhere and so the boat was shorter lived. Also think about condensation / water that must rundown to the lowest bilge point.
If you let it reside on edges like metal strips and stringers you may create additional problems on the long term.
one of the first things I was taught when I started my apprenticeship was to NEVER put a tack where you can't get a grinder
and it has proven useful but so has the die grinder.
great build looking forward to the build updates and world travel videos when its done.
haha we learnt the hard way!!
Also, I think I have said this before, but Chloe is one in a million.
Saw the inside of the barn before I heard you speak and knew this was an English channel.
Thanks for sharing your awesome project.
Impressive learning experience and wonderfully shared. Thanks!
Buy that lass her own welding helmet!
That is certainly going to be a tough boat when she is finished. Really enjoyable video - I love hard work; I could watch it all day.
Nice with slightly longer episodes. Looking forward to the one covering the problems with the wrongly cut plates. Still can't fathom that the supplier hasn't sorted this out for you by now.
The more subscribers this channel gets (and it will get more) the more helpfull the supplier will get!
Amazing guys!!! Go ahead
Cheers from the USA
Moving right along you guys are great.
Thanks Dan! :)
Hey Guys....Love this video.....I subscribed after video No# 2........It's been amazing watching you solve so many problems....your videos are so instructive and common sense immersive....I think you're both great! I'm a woodworker/ Design teacher with a growing interest in steel work ......so you're teaching me soooo much......Admire the efforts you employ.....I can't wait to see more......you're both lucky to share the same passion.......best wishes from an Australian steel boat owner....(I didn't make her but).....cheers mates!
Cheers Max! What an awesome comment :)
@@SailingHunkofJunk I meant every word of it...you Guys are GROUSE.......(Australian for ......ahem.......really quite extraordinary)....Now who's making the cuppa tea!!??
Keep punching my welding heroes.....!!!
haha thankyou!! :)
Great video, I learn a great deal.
Nice work. Hopefully you can push on soon and that issue with the plates gets sorted.. cheers.
yeah, the hard lesson ... I still after many years have to do it twice , sometimes
Son una hermosa pareja, Juntos se puede. Perdonen el idioma. Estoy siguiendo su esfuerzo y sacrificio. Espero el Señor le permita disfrutar a plenitud su proyecto. Sólo le falta un nene para que ayude tambien
great vedio thanks for sharing
More Please
Good job
Thank you
I’m going to do it maybe Aluminium keep sharing thank you 👍👍
hey it's a boat!!
Happy dance is good!
hello looks like your doing great work!!!! i am a welder in canada, and am currently pricing out different projects ( all bruce roberts designs ) before settling on the one that suits me,,,,, was wondering if you could give a brake down of your cost projections? ie structural cost, rigging and mast cost, engine cost, interior outfitting cost, hardware software cost (gauges ect) it would be great help to see if im on trac or way out to lunch. thank you and best wishes
Hi Greg, as I was told when we started planning the boat, you are probably best off getting costs from someone who has finished at least one complete build. We will do a video breaking down costs at sensible stages in the build once we have finished a particular part. (for example how much the hull build cost etc.) Sorry for the slow reply, and hope planning is going well for your project.
Nice
Question for you guys, when the boats completed, are you going to sandblast or are you cleaning and priming as you go. Having said that, if you are priming, will you sandblast at all? Very interested to find out if the primer steel saves you the sandblasting step....
Hi Tim, we had been touching up the primer as we went, and had hoped to just sand blast some areas where needed. Since the delays we've had this last year we'll probable end up having to sandblast the whole thing. I think in the right conditions the pre-prepared steel could save having to sandblast the whole hull, but weld seams would still have to be blasted.
maravilhoso, acompanho todos os videos
Your girl is going to get something hot down in that boot! Need some boot cut jeans lol
Can I get the information about the company that cut the metal for the boat please
www.brebv.com/en/
good luck to the happy girl
Which program you use for planning to be boat?
What type of planning are you wanting to know about? We didn't design the hull, but I believe Rhino CAD is what they use to design it. Most of our planning has been on Microsoft Excel and on paper.
Hope you guys are doing ok. Haven't seen you for a while. If the build has hit a snag, drop a quick video and just let us know you're ok. Hoping for the best.
Hi Mark, we've been on the same snag for a year, with the manufacturer not providing replacement radius plates for the ones they did wrong the first time round. We've just heard some news that will hopefully mean we'll get back to it soon. It has been very frustrating being forced to wait. Will be back to posting videos once we're back at building.
better use breathing apparatus when welding
That's funny we use 🔧 wrenches you use spanners. We use C clamps you use G clamps lol
two nations divided by a common language
Then there's Canada!

Still getting screwed by the kit dealer or is the issue resolved?
We have heard from them a week and a half ago, that they should get our parts to us by Monday next week. However we've head that before a number of times and aren't sure we believe it. It's been over a year since we found the problem... Will post updates when there's anything solid to say.
@@SailingHunkofJunk so.. still haven't heard from them?
Sadly not... they even set a deadline for themselves of delivery by last Friday, no parts and no communication.
Any more updates guys?
We're making an update video which will be up soon.
welding millscale not good.
That's not millscale, the steel in BR kits come prepped with Sigma weld MC welding primer
E un ora che guardo video ma una barca finita non si vede👎👎👎👎
