I would think that this should be part of everyone's bucket list, "Be mentored by Charlie or like person". The wisdom and blessings that one receives is unsurpassed in life. You are very lucky! Great cornicle of your boat life. Thanks for sharing.
Charlie is how A LOT MORE people need to be. I rewound a thousand times to check out the background in his AWESOME shop!!! What a beautiful man. Ruth, if you ever make a 24 HOUR long video I’d sit and watch every single second of it! The longer episodes are SOOOO enjoyable. Cannot wait to watch you all set sail! ❤️
Your forward thinking really shows with this video, seeing the different times in this video and you holding off to show till the entire video is simply wonderful.
Funny hair cut difference with the back in time episode. Charlie has bars! Ya he rocks and has an awesome shop, your lucky to find such a good friend with the same boat building passion.
Hi guys. Lived on a boat here in the UK for almost 23 yrs now. One of the greatest pleasures is anchoring in a creek or river in the evening, watching the sun go down with a rum, and listening to the different bird calls coming from the reeds and riverbanks as everything settles down for a quiet night with the possibility of owls later. Unfortunately, this is something you guys are going to miss. Those are industrial machines that you are working with, generally, and they're doing industrial grade damage to your hearing while you're at it. Believe it or not, the noise you can hear isn't that much of a problem, it's the high frequencies that you can't hear that do the real damage. Do yourselves a favour, hearing protection is the first thing to sort out before you get to sharpening the tools, putting sandpaper on the sander or even sorting the evening beer out. Lovely teamwork, and extremely generous of Charlie to lend his time, his workshop and his knowledge/experience to give you a tremendous push to the finish line.
Charlie has a gift, or should I say gifts, not the least of which is generosity. He clearly understands that "it is in giving that we receive..." It's been said that the meaning in life is finding your gifts; the purpose in life is giving them away. Charlie has nailed it! And so have you Ruth!
Ruth.. I have no words to describe the beauty and the feeling of warmth that you bring to this channel, is not only your physical beauty; it's your internal light, the light of your soul, your constant beautiful SMILE, and the feeling that you are the woman that ANY man will wish to have at their side, intelligent and hard working a REAL partner in life, working side by side with her man, in his life project. That is the magic of your channel.! that keeps us coming again and again just to see it one more time and dream about our own lives and think about.. what if... You are the life and soul of this channel, otherwise will be just another channel of men doing boring things. as many youtube channels. Love your inner light, we can see the bottom of your soul through those beautiful deep blue eyes always with your radiant smile. We love you, we love what you represent. Thank you for being like you are. A word for Garret; after seen so many empty, shallow and even stupid women, through my whole life and several ruined love stories, and divorces..., pain and deception; that still bring tears to my eyes. a wasted life. I can tell you: you are one of the luckiest guys on earth, for having such a wonderful woman in your life, always love and respect her, she is worth all the gold in the world, NEVER; EVER do anything foolish that may push her away. She is the perfect soul for your family, the mother of your kids... the perfect partner for your old days. Love you guys
Thank you! Wow, so very kind of you to write. Garrett is amazing and he makes me feel that together we can do anything. There have been times this project has really challenged our relationship but we've never stopped respecting each other and that's pulled us through. Being kind is the number one thing even when you're upset, angry, or scared. It means a lot to hear our love shines through our episodes. So happy to bring a little light :) R
Finding a great mentor willing to pass on his years of knowledge is a rare treasured gift that many old craftsmen unfortunately don't have and these skills are lost to time! You're very lucky guys
I am getting so excited. Production work, jigs, fixtures! Making the first the same as the last! Touching every part, never wondering how something is made or assembled because you did it! An entire sail built with out a single " I can't " ! Great work!
You don't realize how much you do for us, allowing us to live the life through your hard work and en-devours following you every step of the way brings joy and happiness to all who watch as we follow your steps, trials and disappointments. Great to see you, Ruth, working side by side and matching it with the guys in the work shop, quite a production line you had there. Looking forward to the next installment and another dose of joy and happiness.
As a woodworker myself I love watching the older guys work. They have much cooler looking tools than the boring stuff that is all nice and symmetrical that are manufactured these days. And you know where not to stick your fingers. That drill press is really cool! They have a different philosophy about creating something and you can feel it in their actions. It screams passion. I see that in you guys as well! Never loose your passion!
Super enjoyable video! Charlie is a Class A man.....giving his time and passing along his wisdom. Props to Garrett for his desire to create something wonderful and carry on traditions. A standing ovation to you Ruth for sharing your experiences with us. As I feel the need to shut down in this crazy world you all are giving me inspiration to move forward. Thank you!
only someone who has done work like this understands each and every step involved in making a seemingly simple part. As a cabinetmaker I understand these steps, and trust me, you are lucky to know someone like Charlie....
The love, care and dedication that goes into a gaff rig... No wonder they are so beautiful with a full breeze under way... I can't wait to see her with a bone in her teeth...
Wowsa! Charlie will be getting a lot from this too. As you get older you realise that the most precious gift you can give anyone is "time" , and it makes is extra special when the receivers appreciate that. I've been following you for a couple of years now and it always interesting and informative. Keep it up 😀😀😀
If the Lanyards for the Deadeyes is layed rope, the correct Stopper knot is a Double Matthew Walker. Quite easy to tie. Clamp the rope in a jig with a hole slightly smaller than the dia. of the rope then unlay the strands, form a cloverleaf with the ends of the strands passing through the next loop. Then double and snug tight, Whip the layed up end and trim.
Great video, Again! Charlie's amazing, I think I would send him a bunch of new router bits. I highly recommend you start making an absolute habit of ear, eye and respiratory protection. I now just have it and use it all the time. It's only a pain when it isn't just habit. Like brushing your teeth.
That was fun. And strangely satisfying. I like to see older people passing on knowledge. Now my daughters are in their middle thirties they listen to me carefully as they admit to themselves Dad has learned lots of good and bad stuff. And how to get the former and avoid the latter.
Didn't comment some of the last episodes, but here I start again: I still don't understand the intro text "slower but steadier pace" ...it's your pace, and that's why we're all here. No need to hurry. We also like to watch EPs where you're doing "lazy things"
You are more that welcome! Your videos are high quality you we have began to see you as family! We are so looking forward to seeing your travels! Hurry up?
Wow ! , Ol' Charlies workshop is perfect ! best use of a garage I've seen in a while , and that old Delta drill press still runs like a Tank ! , it's funny how that things made "back in the day " still run better than most of the crap made these days ? / Swab it's nice to see you helping out by driving Mum & Dad around to their errands ;-)
Held my breath while Garret was grinding the dead eye’s, eye reliefs. Don’t slip, don’t slip was screaming in my head with all of that sweat equity invested and then the last sketchy task. Thank God that’s over. Can’t wait to see them rigged. Ruth in a skirt, is that a first for the channel? Lol. You kids are doing great and that was a very sincere thank-you as well.
I actually was referring to the last step where Garret hand held the mini grinder and ground out the line channel for the eye holes in the dead eyes. Those high speed bits can catch grain or follow grain on their own and damage the work piece ...or worse. As a woodworker the other woodworking practices were very safely handled I thought. Charlie is not a rookie and Garrets getting more safety minded as time goes on.
What a cool guy is Mr. Charlie, wise, calm, knowledgeable, he adds grate value to your job guys. Fantastic !! Keep on, you are one step away to sailing, you've made it yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I love your videos so much! Partnership, patience, respect and a certain degree of stubbornness, love it. High praise to your choice of music! Keep up the good work.
All of the comments about Ruth in a skirt, I had to go back and watch it again, as I had not noticed. Sure enough, there she was, all dolled up in girly clothes and in the wood shop with the boys. Dang, I love this gal. Beautiful heart, soul, and mind, and she can be one of the guys regardless of her attire too... awesome.
loved this, great projects, and make no mistake this is a great project of EPIC proportions, will always attract great people. the same is true of Acorn to Arabella, that wonderful German girl in Panama, that pair in Brazil with their steel boat, and of course Leo Goolden, and Tally Ho, and yes I have left out some, they're not forgotten, Garrett is an old style craftsman, Ruth is unbeliveable, a girlie girl who is neither afraid of hard work, or getting dirty, the future is yours!
I imagine it’s super fun to watch and see the process of your boat coming along like this. I was afraid this was going to be a memorial so happy it wasn’t.
What a cool generous man! I couldn't tell who was more excited to work on this project, Charlie or Garrett? In today's troubling times people like Charlie makes it clear that there is way more good in the world than bad!
You sure you have the right mate? My wife and I spent a week tearing our old mobile-home apart when we moved to our current home. Never an arguement or raised voice.
Black Locust is prized firewood because it burns hot like coal. Fence posts made from Locust would last 100 years in the ground but fence companies would only guarantee them 50 years because no one would believe they were good for 100 years. It's fantastic wood that doesn't rot and bugs won't eat it. I wonder how it compares with Live Oak?
WOW!!...Ruth wearing a skirt? Very cosmopolitan. Another great vlog guys,well done. It's a pleasure watching your progression from tree to sail. The day your under sail I too will have a tear in my eye. This is a great journey you have both undertaken and I for one wish you well. Baz in Cornwall U/K
People helping out once in a while are one thing, but this man is nothing short of a determining factor, ain't he ...? Kind of a Rolf on -'roids- woodchips 😂. Helpin' out da kids has a life-prolonging side for us oldtimers.
You have a guardian Angel named Charlie that came to the rescue, he deserves a couple big Steak Dinners. Have you purchased your sail cloth yet? What color are you planning on? What a giant project but from experience I can say your second boat build will only take half as much time, LOL!
Haha right!?! We've just mailed our deposit on some Oceanus cloth! We'll be working with Mike from M&H Bartles Sailmakers in Maine. Garrett really wanted tanbark but that cloth is going to be superior and it resembles the old canvas they used to use R
@@SaltandTar I had several boats with Tanbark color sails but they seemed to deteriorate much faster than the white or creme color. They also absorb more heat in bright sun. I am sure your set of sails will be spectacular no matter what color. Good luck and fair seas forever!
Thanks to Charley you guys are now a "dead eye" Looking good too. Hey Charley, you have the same lathe that I do., a Power Kraft by Logan. Great lathe.
Concerned about the direction of grain in relation to hole orientation ... The direction of force is perpendicular to the direction of grain - there's a higher risk of those deadeyes falling apart. Unelss I've missed something about the type of wood used?
EyeOnTheTV the dead eye design with the support around the perimeter puts the wood that takes the load in compression. The orientation as used is therefore correct for the loading it sees and the dead eye will be very strong. If the load was tension it would be a different case as you note.
Can't really say I'm a fan of that router technique, seems like the pressure to hold it firm against the jig would put your fingers/hand at risk if there was a slip or a catch on something. I would have put put it back on the lathe, although I can understand that would be time consuming and should have been done originally when the base work was done.
Great to see you all working like ever so done before! These dead -eyes are masterpieces! Hope to see them doing their thing in the rig soon! A little tip, put'm in hot oil to make'm more water resistant! One more thing (more a question;) There's a board hanging in Charlie's shop, saying ''HUMBUG“. Is Charlie's origin German? This is some kind of northern German speech, meaning “Nonsens“. I was really surprised reading it in a Californian woodworking shop!😉😁😁😁😁
What a true gentleman Charlie is. The World needs more men like Charlie.
I would think that this should be part of everyone's bucket list, "Be mentored by Charlie or like person". The wisdom and blessings that one receives is unsurpassed in life. You are very lucky! Great cornicle of your boat life. Thanks for sharing.
Charlie is a Gem! and Swab was mad..."You left me in the truck...again!"
Charlie is how A LOT MORE people need to be. I rewound a thousand times to check out the background in his AWESOME shop!!! What a beautiful man. Ruth, if you ever make a 24 HOUR long video I’d sit and watch every single second of it! The longer episodes are SOOOO enjoyable. Cannot wait to watch you all set sail! ❤️
Everyone needs a Charlie! What great man. Great progress guys
This is the most fascinating channel I have recently discovered. Should have millions of viewers!
Most Excellent, Say Hi to Charlie for us.
Your forward thinking really shows with this video, seeing the different times in this video and you holding off to show till the entire video is simply wonderful.
Just had my new Salt & Tar hoodie arrive. I'm now only 4mths behind now! :)
Charlie... What an awesome fellow.

Well said. Wise words.

Charlie is Awesome! What a great man helping you guys out and giving his time and resources to help your project.
RUclips sucks because you can only hit like once. Charlie's shop is a cross between an antique toy store and a antique work shop. I love it.
I am getting so excited. Production work, jigs, fixtures! Making the first the same as the last! Touching every part, never wondering how something is made or assembled because you did it! An entire sail built with out a single " I can't " ! Great work!

You guys sure picked up a fine mentor and friend

Charlie seems like a genuine kind-hearted gentleman you guys are so gifted to have such people in your lives ❤
only someone who has done work like this understands each and every step involved in making a seemingly simple part. As a cabinetmaker I understand these steps, and trust me, you are lucky to know someone like Charlie....
All three working like a well oiled machine! Fantastic, great video!
Charlie is a legend. You guys are doing a great job with everything. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
The love, care and dedication that goes into a gaff rig... No wonder they are so beautiful with a full breeze under way... I can't wait to see her with a bone in her teeth...
Warms the soul when people work together like this. Charlie gave, taught, and enjoyed helping you both. Sometimes, miracles happen.
Wowsa! Charlie will be getting a lot from this too. As you get older you realise that the most precious gift you can give anyone is "time" , and it makes is extra special when the receivers appreciate that. I've been following you for a couple of years now and it always interesting and informative. Keep it up 😀😀😀
Its good to see they found a real craftsman to help them out instead of the wing nut bleep artist that did the rudder hinges.

a wonderful friend
charlie is a great and kind-hearted man. this is a great episode. I like it

Love the Astoria shirt! Representing Oregon!
You are more that welcome! Your videos are high quality you we have began to see you as family! We are so looking forward to seeing your travels! Hurry up?
So nice to have good friends, and to be learning from the old ones. Can't wait to see her sail
Wow ! , Ol' Charlies workshop is perfect ! best use of a garage I've seen in a while , and that old Delta drill press still runs like a Tank ! , it's funny how

Always a good day when a new S&T video hits the interwebs!
Held my breath while Garret was grinding the dead eye’s, eye reliefs. Don’t slip, don’t slip was screaming in my head with all of that sweat equity invested and then the last sketchy task. Thank God that’s over. Can’t wait to see them rigged. Ruth in a skirt, is that a first for the channel? Lol. You kids are doing great and that was a very sincere thank-you as well.
Gary Fairbrother same thoughts as you on slipping, think I would have done those grooves on the lathe. Safer and faster I think.
I would have liked to have seen a fence against the side of them. Holds them straight and keeps finger out.
I actually was referring to the last step where Garret hand held the mini grinder and ground out the line channel for the eye holes in the dead eyes. Those high speed bits can catch grain or follow grain on their own and damage the work piece ...or worse. As a woodworker the other woodworking practices were very safely handled I thought.

What a cool guy is Mr. Charlie, wise, calm, knowledgeable, he adds grate value to your job guys. Fantastic !! Keep on, you are one step away to sailing, you've made it yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Keep it up.. You work hard to do all of this, so be happy no matter what problems you encounter..
Happy to watch all upcoming videos from you guys
I love your videos so much! Partnership, patience, respect and a certain degree of stubbornness, love it. High praise to your choice of music! Keep up the good work.
Nicely done on the in-shop woodworking. Seems like a really great guy.
All of the comments about Ruth in a skirt, I had to go back and watch it again, as I had not noticed. Sure enough, there she was, all dolled up in girly clothes and in the wood shop with the boys. Dang, I love this gal. Beautiful heart, soul, and mind, and she can be one of the guys regardless of her attire too... awesome.

Good stuff guys. Gonna be absotively posolutely freakin' AWESOME to see he rigged and then under sail!
What a cool generous man! I couldn't tell who was more excited to work on this project, Charlie or Garrett? In today's troubling times people like Charlie makes it clear that there is way more good in the world than bad!
It's a trill to see how you two work together even after 5 years, my wife and I couldn't work together for 5 hours LOL
You sure you have the right mate? My wife and I spent a week tearing our old mobile-home apart when we moved to our current home. Never an arguement or raised voice.
Great show. Many thanks Eamonn (Worcestershire UK)
Woodwork is insanely fun to do and to watch :)
Agree with all the kind comments about Charlie, such an unselfish man. Ps great music this week!
Yay. Another episode 👍
charlie is the type of person that does not have time to break down, to bussy having fun.
Ruth the chippy by that gals got what it takes you must be proud of her Garrett..
It’s been so much fun watching your project. Thank you for sharing.
que gran profesional el señor mayor
That last tool was melting that wood not cutting it!!. Nice video and a hella of a nice guy to help you all out.
Thank you for sharing your work and life with us!
I came across your posting yesterday. Watch quite a few and enjoy what y'all are doing. Keep it up!
Nice video looking forward to seeing the rigging
Another great job great to have people with skill and tools teaching you
Magnifique travail ! Et quel coup de main de la part de ce Monsieur ! Respect !
Awesome video again! Great teamwork!
Great choice in music.
Charlie needs his own channel
Black Locust is prized firewood because it burns hot like coal.

So good. Keep it up!
WOW!!...Ruth wearing a skirt? Very cosmopolitan.
Another great vlog guys,well done.
It's a pleasure watching your progression from tree to sail. The day your under sail I too will have a tear in my eye.
This is a great journey you have both undertaken and I for one wish you well.
Baz in Cornwall U/K
People helping out once in a while are one thing, but this man is nothing short of a determining factor, ain't he ...? Kind of a Rolf on -'roids- woodchips 😂.
Helpin' out da kids has a life-prolonging side for us oldtimers.
Looks like Charlie has a collection of old Hit and Miss motors...you should visit an have him fire one up!
Charlie would be the best deckhand for the shakedown. Hope to see you in a swell soon.
SWEET !
Thank you for not putting any social distancing weirdness in your video.
It’s only weird if you don’t do it, dude. C’mon. Also, it had only just started happening in early March in CA.
Nice video. You always pick great music, too! Keep punchin'...
What an absolute legend! You seem to collect them around you :-)
You have a guardian Angel named Charlie that came to the rescue, he deserves a couple big Steak Dinners. Have you purchased your sail cloth yet? What color are you planning on? What a giant project but from experience I can say your second boat build will only take half as much time, LOL!
Haha right!?! We've just mailed our deposit on some Oceanus cloth! We'll be working with Mike from M&H Bartles Sailmakers in Maine. Garrett really wanted tanbark but that cloth is going to be superior and it resembles the old canvas they used to use
R
@@SaltandTar I had several boats with Tanbark color sails but they seemed to deteriorate much faster than the white or creme color. They also absorb more heat in bright sun. I am sure your set of sails will be spectacular no matter what color. Good luck and fair seas forever!
That was a lot of work.
Super!!
Bad ass sums it up.
awesome
Thanks to Charley you guys are now a "dead eye" Looking good too. Hey Charley, you have the same lathe that I do., a Power Kraft by Logan. Great lathe.
Lots of work but their looking good.
I know that Garrett is going to have to get in there with a rattail file or a half round file and clean up that sharp corner on the deadeyes.
Yeah!
Ever notice that it’s the old guys that have the machine tools to help Garrett & Ruth🤔
du bon travail 👍👍👍😉
Concerned about the direction of grain in relation to hole orientation ... The direction of force is perpendicular to the direction of grain - there's a higher risk of those deadeyes falling apart. Unelss I've missed something about the type of wood used?
EyeOnTheTV the dead eye design with the support around the perimeter puts the wood that takes the load in compression. The orientation as used is therefore correct for the loading it sees and the dead eye will be very strong. If the load was tension it would be a different case as you note.
Lot of work
Can't really say I'm a fan of that router technique, seems like the pressure to hold it firm against the jig would put your fingers/hand at risk if there was a slip or a catch on something. I would have put put it back on the lathe, although I can understand that would be time consuming and should have been done originally when the base work was done.
The dead eyes remind me of moon pies and make me want an rc co-cola
After surfing always needed a moon-pie for energy to get back up the hill !
Great to see you all working like ever so done before!
These dead -eyes are masterpieces!
Hope to see them doing their thing in the rig soon!
A little tip, put'm in hot oil to make'm more water resistant!
One more thing (more a question;)
There's a board hanging in Charlie's shop, saying ''HUMBUG“.
Is Charlie's origin German?
This is some kind of northern German speech, meaning
“Nonsens“.
I was really surprised reading it in a Californian woodworking shop!😉😁😁😁😁
