@@TravelsWithGeordie I appreciate your videos. I can't do any woodworking or carpentry anymore due to a variety of issues with my health. So, I can live vicariously through the videos. Thank you
I have never seen a 1/4" bearing tip, but I have seen a solid tip guide in 1/4". Its like your bolt, but smooth.. Your kludge with the bearing part and turning the bolt head is SPOT-ON, perfect DIY version 👌👌
Peter! Thank you so, so much. It is a great privilege to be able to share this challenging and rewarding life with people like you. Thank you for your encouragement and for your continued support of the show!
I always marvel at your woodworking skills! Especially in the environments you work in. After watching you for some years now, I'm even more convinced I would not own another wooden boat! 😊 I liked using them more than working on them. I do appreciate many of the fine wooden boats I've seen and what it takes to make and keep them that way.
Thank you Rick! While there is no doubt wooden boats are a tremendous amount of work, I find the reward, at least for me, far exceeds the effort. Thank you for the kind words and see you next week. Cheers!
Thank you Keith! I'd like to say I think ahead because I don't like surprises, but somehow, surprises always seem to emerge. Cheers and thanks for watching!
Looks absolutely marvellous (in my best Billy Chrystal voice) Seriously, it looks great. I would have given up a long time ago. Love seeing Geordie getting some love again.
"Viewers Word of the week" no prize, just fun among us viewers: Let us all see what we can come up with👍👍. I'm going to take on the task of selecting a word of the week at least for the foreseeable future.. this is just for fun, no prize, no winner, just because the best part of Peter's word of the week was reading the comments everyone posted. I hope more than a few of you share my feelings and join in on keeping this word-play alive..
That was quite the battle, Peter. But in the end you were victorious, in fact it was a total rout. The fish-eye makes the workspace seem roomy, I can only imagine how constrained it is in practice. Good job working with the table-saw and beams, the overheads are looking like a boat interior again, no longer like a wallpapered child's bedroom from the 80s. Cheers from Whitehorse!
There must be the bearing available in the size you required.. I would have considered buying another one of those scrapers and cutting the profile into it and possibly adding runners to control the depth and angle. I don't like the idea of the overheads.. it would be better to just paint them or if you are going to cover the ply.. do a solid layer of paint or varnish and then glue the additional wood so there's no air gap.. (see my previous comment in the last few weeks) btw.. I can't remember if I said.. a suggestion for your chain locker.. Mains gas and water in UK is piped though thick walled plastic pipe that is over a foot in diameter, end cap's etc are also available.. I think you can figure out the rest. That wood that I said about that seemed similar to the deck on Poem has gone from a yellowish to a mahogany red on the planned edges.. looking forward to sanding the surface next year and varnish 😻
Lots of good points here! I am still inclined to promote ventilation in the overheads but it's true, if one was confident it was 100% air tight you could seal up a lamination. On the chain locker, that heavy pipe is exactly what I'm looking for. The difficulty is obtaining short lengths. Cheers and see you next week!
Looks awesome! I have been "Project Poor" for a bit and living vicariously. Love the router hack. It must have been my "Glaucoma" medication... I busted up on your first "Beauty!"... Bob and Doug popped in my head INSTANTLY. Hoser!!! 🤣🤣🤣
We're lucky Peter isn't evil. I say this because the level of intelligence he posseses is spectacular. If he used his power for evil instead of good, he'd be just another millionaire jerk. Instead, he used his powers for good and we get to be a part of the journey. Thank you Peter.
That's very true Wayne! In fact, I ordered one just for this application but they are set up for reversible motor via polarity, whereas this motor reverses via two separate positive leads. Cheers!
That's a great question! And the answer is a bit indulgent; that it sitting up in the future forward birth that beam would have created a headroom conflict, so it really worked out. Thanks for commenting and for watching. Cheers!
Nice result but some tough breaks there. In hindsight was there any way to modify the 5/16 bit to get the result you wanted? You could always re-cap all of those beams I suppose ;)
You may be right Mark! I did test the ground down busing on the 5/16" bit and it left enough gaps to encourage me to go with the 3/8". Thanks for your comment and for watching. Cheers!
Thank you! That is VERY tempting, the boat wont be under refit forever, and we will need a living space during next summer's work. Cheers and thanks your continued support of the show!
I'll bet the shipwright that chiseled that number would have given a toe or two to have the power tools to do the job. But you honor his time and effort.
If you mean the false beams I did in place, I'm not so sure. Large curve beams need a huge piece of stock. Laminating in place was much easier in this scenario. Thanks for your comment and for watching. Cheers!
@ initially i didn’t consider laminates but yes that was the better choice, and yes i do enjoy watching this type of improving restoring boats, i’m an avid wiever of both acorn to arabella, tally ho and saillife as i guess you know.
I wonder sometimes if you let the 'perfect' get in the way of 'the pretty damn good.' Suggestion; for the benefit of new viewers and hopefully subscribers maybe a 3 second look at Geordie as you first saw her and a 5 second recent view of her cruising.
Excellent suggestion for continuity. you remind me of what i always told my daughters: "the enemy of good is perfect." Thanks for the tip and see you next week. Cheers!
Well that's certainly true, i am quite enjoying "living within my means' again and look forward to re establishing my cockpit workshop in better weather. Cheers and see you next week!
I have never seen a 1/4" bearing tip, but I have seen a solid tip guide in 1/4". Its like your bolt, but smooth.. Your kludge with the bearing part and turning the bolt head is SPOT-ON, perfect DIY version 👌👌
Five stars for innovation, excellent work Peter. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you very much! I am very pleased with how it turned out. Thanks for watching!
Your ability to work in the confined spaces of a boat always astounds me, Peter. Nice job.
Thank you Bob! I guess we just grow to appreciate what we have. Thanks for your comment. Cheers!
You're like the Bob Ross of boat building! Fun, fun, fun.
That's exactly what I thought when Peter was using that filler blade.
I do hear that more often than you might think! Cheers!
rubish.

The Beams cleaned up very well, Peter. Looks great, you did a fabulous job a always. See ya Next Week Peter, Cheers.
Thank you Fon! I am quite pleased but there is some fine tuning yet to be done. Cheers and see you next week!

Once again a glimpse into your life and beautiful work on your boats. Keep safe and thank you for sharing with us.
Peter! Thank you so, so much. It is a great privilege to be able to share this challenging and rewarding life with people like you. Thank you for your encouragement and for your continued support of the show!
Great work with the router, brilliant hack. It's coming together nicely.
Thanks Dusty! I do love a good hack. Cheers and see you next week!

Enjoying your work for some time, because you forward think things so well. Plus, cutting corners due to its easier is not your SOP. Thanks!!!

Thanks as always Mate! She certainly deserves all the attention I can give. Thanks for your comment and see you next week!

Watching you working is endlessly fascinating! I love it!
Thanks so much! I must say, i do enjoy it myself.
Long time watcher; was in Victoria last week and saw your two boats. Quite a good site! Keep up the videos! Alberta !
Thanks David! I hope you had a pleasant visit in Victoria. Cheers and see you next week!
Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
Your house builders skills shine through 👍

Incredible job Peter!!!! You are such a talented man! Your skill set and mind set are amazing!
Thanks for the early update!
Your are very welcome Nicholas! We are proud to be able to honor all of our supporters. Cheers!

Top Notch fit and finish 🪚
Thank you Robert! That means a lot coming from you. Cheers!
pure craftsmanship . well done 👍
Thank you Rol! Cheers!
Looking good Peter !
Thanks very much Mark! There was certainly some frustration with this episode but it came together nicely. Cheers!
Nice work Peter! While you might miss Genoa Bay and your access to a boat shed, I’m sure you don’t miss that commute!
Thank you Peter nice work
Thank you! Cheers and see you next week!
Great work again Peter! Love it, love it, love it!!
Thanks so much Karl! Always glad to hear from. Cheers!

Wait Brian, millionaire?? Perhaps I've got this whole thing wrong. Thanks so much for the very kind words. Cheers and see you next week!
The winch solenoids are available fully epoxy coated by the way.
That's very true Wayne! In fact, I ordered one just for this application but they are set up for reversible motor via polarity, whereas this motor reverses via two separate positive leads. Cheers!
thxs for sharing, good stuff...
Thanks for watching Tom! We really appreciate your kind words and support.
Were you tempted to add an additional 'false' beam under the helm position for symmetry?
That's a great question! And the answer is a bit indulgent; that it sitting up in the future forward birth that beam would have created a headroom conflict, so it really worked out. Thanks for commenting and for watching. Cheers!
Nice result but some tough breaks there. In hindsight was there any way to modify the 5/16 bit to get the result you wanted? You could always re-cap all of those beams I suppose ;)
You may be right Mark! I did test the ground down busing on the 5/16" bit and it left enough gaps to encourage me to go with the 3/8". Thanks for your comment and for watching. Cheers!
Love it. Any temperature difference with the insulation removed?
Very slight. But the absence of condensation and resulting rot is definitely worth it. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Hey Pete ya gotta do what ya gotta do to get it right. I suspect it will turn out excellent.😅 After all it will freshen her up.😮😂 Keep at it chap.😅😂❤
Thank you! I am really please with how it turned out. Thanks for the kind words and for your continued support of the show. Cheers!
Looks great how about turning that folcs hole into a permanent workshop?
Thank you! That is VERY tempting, the boat wont be under refit forever, and we will need a living space during next summer's work. Cheers and thanks your continued support of the show!
Thumbs up for the see you next week sign off, very professional.
Thanks Jefferey! I'll try to remember it moving forward. Cheers and see you next week!
I'll bet the shipwright that chiseled that number would have given a toe or two to have the power tools to do the job. But you honor his time and effort.
I'm awful glad he didn't Tom! Those chisel mark as priceless. Thanks for your comment and for watching Tom! Cheers!
The downside of resolving trials and tribulations is that no one notices.
That's true Stephen. But I know, and you know, and that's good enough for me. Cheers!
After the fact, it would have been so much easier to cut an entirely new beam and profile it before putting it back up
If you mean the false beams I did in place, I'm not so sure. Large curve beams need a huge piece of stock. Laminating in place was much easier in this scenario. Thanks for your comment and for watching. Cheers!

“An awkward place to work…” Doesn’t that apply to any place on a boat?
Well that's certainly true, i am quite enjoying "living within my means' again and look forward to re establishing my cockpit workshop in better weather. Cheers and see you next week!
It's not a phony beam; it's a faux beam.
,
I love it Larry! Cheers and thanks for watching.
Be careful with your fingers.
So true Peter! Past good fortune doesn't ensure perpetual good fortune. Thanks for the reminder and for watching. Cheer!
The word of the week is HACK. Use hack in your comment please.
That't not fair! The word of the week is hack every week!
@@TravelsWithGeordie
Just because you decided to quit using a word of the week doesn’t mean I have to!

Heh! I didn't know solid bushings existed, but I can say they're effective. Thanks for the tip Jennifer!
