Honestly I've been thinking about that. Electric cars using wheel hub motors are becoming much simpler than previous cars. You loose a lot of complex moving parts and can use more off the shelf parts. I'd love to build a 6x6 electric RV with solar panels all over (they are so cheap now) as a truly mobile tiny house. You could probably charge 15 km free driving each day from solar. Luckily, regulations and patents keep me from doing such foolish things :D
Maintenance is definitely going to be less on electric vehicles. You can even repair electric motors relatively easily. Except batteries but they are going to get lots cheaper every time you need to replace them. I'd love to do it but it's basically impossible to get a custom build car registered in Europe. I'm looking into building a tiny house now. Maybe a tiny houseboat that can be on a trailer or swim? A solar powered houseboat??? But kidding aside that one actually works rather well since you don't need much to make a boat move.
A Houseboat is a beautiful thing.. Find some old empty barrels, fill them with spray foam and they'll be unsinkable and last for ever. I had a 25 foot sailboat for a while, it slept 5 people.. 2 small solar panels powered the whole boat, with one large deep cycle battery.. I never had to think about it.. It just worked for years, with not one problem. It was a fabulous time..
They built the plug sanded faired and gel coated it, polished and waxed it and then gel coated for the mould, laid up fiberglass, reinforced it and popped the mold off the plug voila a mold...
@@YZFR1mart Sure, send me about $75K to get started and the plans of what you want. And be ready to send the same or depending on the design, $100K more.
@@davidupton9354 🤣 no favours then hey. Seriously though I want to make a large cruiser boat. . It's the fibreglass bit that puts me off. As I ain't that good at it, the stuff goes off too quickly for me to work with it. I'll get round to it one day 👍
@@YZFR1mart If it goes off too quickly, back off on the amount of catalyst you are using. The temp of the resin and just the temp in general can affect your cure time also. Use small batches until you get more comfortable with it. But still, that stuff wasn't cheep years ago when I was in that type work.
But wouldn't it be exactly the same result given then it goes against the mold, which was sprayed and sanded alread? As I see it, anyway you put the gelcoat, it will be smooth if the mold is done properly.
Thanks to the speed of your workers, you are able to build an entire boat mold in 11 minutes and 8 seconds! A new record. LOL Great video!
I have no idea what those blokes just made but it looks cool.
How do you ensure symmetry?

Oh La-La ! That's a sweet mold.. 11:08 minutes ? A new record !! I wanna build my own designed car and make a mold of it..

That's not foolish at all. It'll probably last the rest of your life.. Thousands less, of moving parts, means thousands times less parts to wear out..

Wow awesome
What sort of material did you use to make the male mold
Won't had waxing leave swirls and imperfections. Aren't the first two layers applied to the plug (wax and gel) to be sprayed on?

You forgot the green spray release.
@@davidupton9354I want to know what is called the green one?
What is the green one?
@@davidupton9354 the pva
@@MVD29508 pva mould release if you have a smooth mold you will get a smoother better quality part without it. I don't use it.
Duratec, & quicker than cnc build. And products from europe.

I would lose track of how many layers of glass I was on . Was that #4 or #5 ?
Oh well just start over
Video is great but you need sound..
What a work to make a mold. 🤔
I have run MILES of fiberglass mat and resin. Trust me, it will clear your nose out!!! 😁 The green stuff is a water based release for the mold.
Make me a 50 foot hull 😎

@@davidupton9354 thanks for the tip. I live in the UK so temps are mostly low. Next time I do some on my boat I'll halve the catalyst 👍

Are we just supposed to guess what’s happening at every step or ???
Please take the time to add a voice over...sound please
Making a mold ha
One should ALWAYS spray the gel-coat on. You will never get a good sound finish with a paint brush.
SCORCH SCORCHED Looked smooth as a babies ass to me !!
Put it in a thermal environment, and then you will be disappointed.
Totally agree with U
But wouldn't it be exactly the same result given then it goes against the mold, which was sprayed and sanded alread?

Wrong.
Sound would be nice...
