    This week we didn't have time to make subtitles because we just finished editing the video. We'll be doing that little by little during this week 😉
    Esta semana não tivemos tempo de fazer legendas pois acabamos de finalizar a edição do vídeo. Vamos fazer a legenda aos poucos durante esta semana 😉

    To be fair... much, if not most, of the manufacturing and repair industry traditionally NEVER never allows anyone to hover over anything they do. Many craftsmen really do not like it one bit. There are liability, communication and emotional issues involved. Your disappointment is obvious yet this companies latitude with his issue thus far has been pretty incredible. Stuff happens, its the way it is.

    • @SteifWood
      @SteifWood Месяц назад +3

      Your right, yet we have watched the media involvement of the builders of Delos 2 and how Brian and Kaza actually are part of the hull build, though they also had some "problems" when scheduling the flip at a certain time. Maybe build as Plukky does: Freedom will never be flipped as those Vietnamese welders works just as good up side down.

      As a machinist and welder I can tell you I'd rather have my toenails pulled out rather than have someone film or watch me work. A lift that large is hairy enough without spectators.

    You describe newborn bonding very well. When a newborn takes the finger of his father, the baby creates a bond that will last for a lifetime. You will often see doctors or nurses very anxious to ensure that parents get the chance to make this bond as soon as possible.

    Thank you so much for uploading this great video. I think we all understand you both will spend as much time as possible with Oli. His first days/weeks/months will be precious moments to spend with your son. Don't miss them. Videos can wait a bit, can't they?
    Anyway, I'm surprised Meta lets you filming so much of the process of building your boat. Usually, technicians don't like much to have their customers "on their back"! As a "technician", I definitely don't! Fortunately, it seems the Meta team is pretty open minded and thanks to them we all can watch these amazing videos.
    Félicitations à tous les 3 🙂

      The Delos build flipped in this weeks episode it two cranes one a big lifter and the other to drag it out. The lift was from two bow fixings so that was end over end rotation rather than a sideways roll. So they had to have it outside hanging and rotating.. then lowered deck up and pulled back inside on dollys. 🧙🏼‍♂️👍🏼

    • @kencooper7208
      @kencooper7208 Месяц назад

      Is this an example of the much recognized French worker arrogance? I get the feeling that they are sabotaging you Duca. The crew working on the Delos build are friendly and playful and willing to teach. This Meta team ha. . . not wanting to be filmed doing the job they are being paid to do. @blueclue57 you have a limited imagination. Start watching Delos and you will instantly see who the professionals are in this regard. And it's not just a language barrier. Those guys are pricks, they have seen Duca there filming from a distance, always, and how could they be so ignorant of what his audience might get a kick out of seeing to not let him in on such a milestone in the construction. I feel your frustration.

    Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy Duca, and Roberta. Odd in English is not the greatest compliment. But Odd in a name for yourselves, is apparently the most wonderful. I wonder if you are as understanding of how English speakers may struggle with such a contradiction? Duca is noble on the other hand. One might have mentioned this when it came to the boat but it's an inanimate vessel and y9u had your hearts set on honouring Odd. So why suggest the negative.
    Moving on. I'm astounded that they set your new aluminium hull on filthy carbon rich tyres with no protection from contamination. I would have hit the roof at them. That single effort can compromise welding effort in future as any aluminium manufacturer would be aware. Well I'm beginning to taste sour so God bless and watch over you all.

    Question in see all this flipped boats and you may have covered this in a past episode ... but why no bow thruster? Now would be the perfect time to ... if nothing else, install the structural opening.

    Impressive scale of build .
    I’ve been around a few 1000 new builds and even had small part in a family business building aluminum trucks for Alaska’s North Slope .
    Some things about aluminum hulls are hard to overcome.
    The corrosion needs to be prevented rather than accepted.
    Epoxy Primer everything.
    Bedding compound for anything attached and line fasteners with Sikaflex / Lanacote.
    Even sign vinyl will protect the expensive Alum but best to sand , etch , prime with no prep done unless primer going on within 24 hours . Don’t allow “self-etch “ primer .
    Vacuum sand 80 grit and hand sand edges/ corners.
    Don’t paint over SS if it touches Aluminum.
    Learned this wrenching on Outboards.
    Another thing on Alum hulls , they transfer noise easily. Closed cell foam will help and keeps condensation down which was learned the hard way by houseboat owners I knew who had 40’ hulls welded , then built narrow houses on top . They had wet walls from their own breath.
    We also flipped 30’ boats with 8-10 guys ,
    usually a few stood on gunnel to slow the fall onto tires .
    The welders can weld a lift hook for the crane hook then cut it off later .
    Precious metal will go up in $,
    I used to tell (ex) wife and boat customers.
    Our hull bought at $1 / lb. now costs $4/ lb.to build.
    I hope it doesn’t get too heavy at end .

    The boat yard does not want you to film them having any problems with moving / flipping a vessel. But they want to also show potential customers 'we can get the job done.' But the struggles of flipping has been conveniently washed away. I assume this was a request by them, or a decision by them for this reason. It is good storyboard editing!

    • @OddLifeCrafting
      @OddLifeCrafting  27 дней назад

      To be honest they flip boats all the time and have no problem at all of us filming. They literally just didn’t think us. We were not “important” enough to send us a message with the new schedule. What is sad as the video could be better and personally because I missed a big moment. 🥲
