Pocket doors are great. We had them in our old cottage, fantastic space savers. I really enjoyed the lack of music in this video. Nothing beats the sound of a man at work. Especially the sanding and the slapping of the glue. Looking great.
Hay James u doing good job and it’s always a pleasure waiting and watching for the new videos to come out I love it when it pops up on RUclips ❤ thanks so much 😊
I’ve never said this before, but I’m truly impressed with what you’ve managed to build in such confined spaces. Sometimes I think you’re mad, but what you’ve created in such a compressed space is really something!
The two-tone varnish finish is great mate, looks really effective and classy. 😎 .... I wish you had a bigger brush though, even on time lapse that small one is painful watch! 🤣🤣
Looking good James. I believe you have already named your boat a few episodes ago but 'Happy Daze', 'Happy Dayz', 'Happy Days' would have been awesome choices.
Why are you continually doing detailed decorating jobs with so much of the major construction work still yet to be completed? You have already damaged a decorated kitchen cabinet whilst trying to (twice) install a ceiling, which also appears to have wasted people's donated money. What is your aversion to getting all the big construction jobs done, like the side walls, ceilings, bulkheads, etc., before then starting on the actual fit out, like the kitchen cabinets, shower room, folding bunk beds and all the other decorating jobs? Your priorities seem to be all over the place, do you actually have a proper costed and detailed plan, or is it all just being done on the fly?
Depends who you ask and if it’s the full works you need. I’d guess it’s two days work for an install so maybe £500 labour Email me narrowboatjamesbuilt @ gmail
There is not a straight line on James boat because he keeps cutting with the effing jig saw! The first thing a carpenter learns is to NOT use a jig saw for cutting straight lines. Use the effing circular saw!
@@Narrowboat.and.offgrid.living Of course there is. Or at least - you can make things as straight as possible. Using a jigsaw makes it next to impossible though because the blade is thin and narrow so the cut line will be wobbly.
James is not a joiner or a carpenter. He’s an everyday bloke doing the best he can with he’s skill set. If he’s happy with the outcome then us as subscribers should be happy for him. James is always happy to take advice from people more qualified. And we as subscribers we try and advise him as best we can. What we don’t do is criticise him with the Im holier than thou attitude, it’s petty and quite frankly immature.
@@jimburge5298 Nonsense. We tell him repeatedly to use the circular saw. We have seen him use it before. You don't need to be a carpenter to understand this.

The door looks very stylish--beautiful!

Really like the contrast of walnut trim with the birch! Doing a great job. You'll be living aboard before you know it. All the best from Missouri.
Nice one James, your straight line cutting with a jigsaw is mighty impressive.
I am very impressed with what you can do in such a limited space to work in and you have certainly honed your skills on this build,well done mate ❤
You’re doing very well, James.

Hi James dispute some negative feedback back, I think it looks good, the colours are great together.keep up the good work 😊

Excellent job James. Good seeing your vision coming to life.
Outstanding choice in colors for the wood. It should be beautiful when finished.
Sure is looking good.

good work
The trick is to varnish the pieces of the door before sandwiching them together. This way you can safely varnish the edges.
Great job! The color contrast is very nice!
👍
Why do you use such small brushes to paint with?
Smaller brushes are easier to use than big, thick ones.
So much easier to clean small brushes and not contaminate the canal or hedgerows.

Also depends on a person’s dexterity
Any reason why you didn't use your router on the 9mm cut-outs?
What to cut out the cut-outs ??
I’m not very confident with the router
Yes, but also to smooth the edges of the holes as opposed to using a file or emery cloth....@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt
love the background birdsong
It’s lovely here for all the birdsong
Much better without that added music too.
Ain’t been on for a bit...How’s progress James me lad?😊
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
I thought this was the third and last pocket door? ;-)
I wish
Smashed it yet again James 😃👌😎👍
Hope it's OK to ask do you know how much it would cost to get someone to do the electric in a project boat please
Depends who you ask and if it’s the full works you need. I’d guess it’s two days work for an install so maybe £500 labour

There is not a straight line on James boat because he keeps cutting with the effing jig saw! The first thing a carpenter learns is to NOT use a jig saw for cutting straight lines. Use the effing circular saw!
Or even better - a track saw.
There's no such thing as straight lines on a narrowboat you can also forget a spirit level as well
