Any load bearing beam repair must be long tapered out on each end and close fitted. Squared off ends introduces two points of failure.
Possible my favourite channel at the moment
Eeeee, so nice to hear 😁 seabird are great too, and good friends of mine
This channel and sailing seabird are the best channels
Possibly!..... Possibly!! How rude! 😉
Well not mine ! I have sailed un the med since 2012. Now in Sweden , cold ,rainy but i bought a new boat for 300 euros in mint condition wich i will sail back to Barcelona She is boat number 50 in my life , so far only 2 X wifes ,,
this, project duracell and tally ho are the best treats of the week
Re beam repair. I didn't read all the comments so maybe someone covered this. If you need to glue in a piece of wood especially if one edge goes into a blind corner like that, rough shape the whole thing first, trial fit the blind edge, finish shape and sand the blind edge, then glue in the piece. This is much faster and produces better results. Also don't butt joint structural elements, make diagonal cuts that structurally/ glue surface wise make a better connection.
Ahhh Mark, as always I didn't want your "movie" to end!!! Who would have thought that sanding & filling could be soo entertaining! Big shout out to Dominic,,,what a superstar ✨️You're doing a wonderful job Mark,,,there is no doubt Mahi is now at the "Ugly Duckling" stage,,,but very soon we will see, thanks to YOU & all the generous ppl, a Beautiful swan! As always,,,Love love love you🌻🌈Mum🌈🌻
Keep going. It will be very worthwhile. Just please think on your ports. The sea can have such a powerful suction and impact on things. You your hard work and your boat deserve a long and adventurous time and life. Listen to many who comment please.
Mums know :)
What is the proper WOKE name for “Mum” or “Mom???
You can get ESG money if you would not be Sexist, Racist, and not speak Spanish at all…. Because Spanish ONLY has 2 Genders! Come on, Person!! Notice how correct my language since I NO LONGER TEXT the word “man.”
You can get a moisture meters that will help you find wet spots under the surface and that could expedite your repairs. You just slide the meter across the surface and it gives you a reading 😊
Sailing Nahoa used one to find the wood rot in their catamaran. There are different styles so be sure to get one that you just slide on the surface, some require penetration into what you want to measure.. don't get that one😊
The Mark Quote of the year. "...I struggle with the second option, and I'm more about the first." Isn't that all of us. LOL. Keep doing the great work Mark. Small steps forward.
Get a dentist to help you! These guys know how to put fillings in rotten holes. 😉
anyway, good to see you in good mood and prioritizing!
YES on the scarfing. Structural loads build up at corners. Same with filling--avoid right angles--smooth entry and exit from the problem area.
As a shipwright its not only frustrating at time to watch lol, it also so great watching you learn the trade and so quickly. You have a great source, what with all of us know it all out hear, but seriously, You are doing great with your boat and especially with your channel. Best of wishes you, cant wait to see you under way with sails full!
Hahaha I bet it’s very difficult for the experienced ones to watch. Give me 10 years and I’ll be a pro
Like driving we all have to start somewhere .. your doing fine in the time constraints your working under
Learning from your mistakes doing a particular task, is usually a lesson that’s only needed once and each one makes you all the more wiser.
You're no shipwright!!
@@WildlingSailing And you will never be a pro, completely the wrong attitude and skill set
You strike me as someone who is not scared of work.
So close to 100k subscribers.
Buildy buildy boat!
Get her seaworthy enough to get her back to the UK and everything else should be more relaxed I hope. Although maybe having a deadline helps!
Nice video
The festool sander is absolutely fantastic, after ours stopped working after 15 years of boat abuse. We actually found out that most other sanders are a drama when you need to sand something as large as a ship. main reason is the vibration, these just keep you sanding for many more hours. well worth the extra money...and after 15 years.... they still have the parts to repair ours..For your next bridge repair, you might want to consider to shape first, then glue.
vinegar is the magic clean up solution. keep it clean and keep the work simple- if you need to go back and do more filling, that's okay
Just a suggestion when you’re filling in…. Don’t use a metal scraper. Go to a local hardware store and get a plastic scraper. Automotive/body shop providers provide them as well…. You’re going to save so much more time in getting a smoother surface when the fuller has hardened and ready to be sanded back…. Keep up the good work mate…. I sit and wait patiently every weekend for the weekly release to see how far your going!
That vacuum cleaner sounds like Darth Vader!
Pro tip i got from an old carpenter: use the side of your hammer when hitting a chissel this way you have more surface area to hit the end of the chissel and you can fully focus on your chissel!
Loving the vids!
Your skills are getting better every video! So cool to get some advice from a master like Hanneke.
I would say drill the bolts out and make some more plugs save yourself work later, thats a solid looking repair on the beam well done 👌🏻✊🏻🏴
98.8k 🤞 Nice job Mark. Impressed with the job so far. Keep up the good work m8.
I surprise myself at how excited I get when a new video is posted! I’ve eagerly watched this project from the selection process to today. Why some of what might seem dull segments still capture my interest I’m not sure. But I love following every moment of your adventure. Can’t imagine how exciting it will be when Mahi is launched with full sails but seeing her painted will be a giant step forward! Thanks for sharing what so many of us have dreamed of doing since we all fell in love with sailing. At 12 years old I converted our 12 foot heavy rowboat into a sailboat, cutting down a sapling for a mast, sewing a bedsheet for mainsail and jib, carving an old piano bench top using a jackknife to make my rudder. I used 4 foot boards in a big u shaped design to drop over the sides, then tied to the seats, to create “sideboards”. It sailed! I was so proud. Your project just tickles my memories and joys as a young boy with my own summer sailboat project. So I am right there with you in every step. Loving this adventure.
There's nothing better than messing around in boats
I always enjoy the videos, I wonder what is he going to f@ck up this week. Just pulling your leg. 🤣🤣 She really is coming along nice, once your on the water again you can sail a bit and save up for the next round of work. 2x👍
You Will het there. Good luck and keep on going.
I noticed in the last one that you took quite a bit of grief for your beam repair. I have had good luck with using laminates to do that kind of repair. Each laminate 4 to 6” longer than the last one. Glue each one on held down with screws, remove screws and do next one. You can use boards and bend them in. That would give you the greatest strength without the vertical weak joint.
The world needs a lot more self motivated young men like you mate. You are a great positive example.😅😅😅
Oh yeah feelin the soul music this week, happy sandin on the dock of the bay in the rain😅
hope the local repairs are strong enough and the beam doesn't snap in a big sea,
Great music this episode, good to see your cracking on with it all
Quite enjoying the process. Looking forward to seeing her all painted up!
Hi Mark, for many many jobs an anglegrinder with a flappy disk is th tool to use, get one with adjustable speed... the screws have been left by the to lazy builder, they were used to hold the parts together before the epoxy glue would have set. Now the epoxy should do its job. So try to get these rusty monsters out now that they are easily reachable.
Anyhow nice video again and good luck when you get to the underwater sanding.
Matthias
Your videos get a like from me before I even start watching them!
me too, you know its going to be entertaining. 🤣🤣👍👍
same here !
The editing / Timelapse and music have come on leaps and bounds - a really interesting video but so well edited. Well done
Mark: Recommend that you removal all rusty screws, located at blister points, and replace. It will be problems down the road otherwise. Do it right.
It's so much nicer watching you sand to music than me doing it with the dust epoxy sensitivity and the noise. Did I mention the sore back? And the sore back.
The effort will be worth it, which I'm sure you know so well. Say hi to your parents: feels like I know the lot of them. Very cool mate.
Just something I noticed while you were hacking away at the beam. You can use a chisel "upside down" or with the bevel facing the work. This works best if you manually sharpen them but you can do it on a belt sander in a pinch by just rounding the bevel slightly, lets say a 15cm or 6" radius is about the idea. That will give you excellent control when gouging out rot etc and you won't get those nasty hard corners where cracks will start. Try it, its really easy to do and I'm sure you will like it!
There must be a 101 words or more that can be related/ describe the process of refurbishment and restoration and most relate/ result in the physical/ mental being of 🥴..keep at it mark.. AND FRIENDS I'm sure that new lick of paint on the hulls is going to make it look a more "Ship shape" 100%... and when mom renames the boat "MAHI" 😜 she will crack - open the champagne..! 🤣🥂🥂 🙏👍✌️💯🇬🇧
,,,simply cant wait George!!👌⛵️ 🥂⛵️👌
@@artbymaryf7283 enjoy your trip over.. And don't forget the bottle 😂👍🍾
25k views in 4 hours. Obviously you're doing something that lots of people want to see, and we are all rooting for you brother. Don't give up, it will be worth it once you're out under the sun with the wind at your back.
Well done Mark.. many hands, if anyone is in the area, he pretty much need’s people with all skill set.. and anyone with a portable BBQ, bring yourself some sausage’s and bread and a few cold Beers, for the end of the day! BBQ, beers and any skills you have.. make this Lads dream boat a reality! 😊
Professional carpenter, my Mirka was a nice sander but the my Festool sander outlasted it by years. Well worth the cost
Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing your Mum and Dad return next time. Great to have such supportive parents 👍
Great to see folks come and help out of the goodness of their hearts, it restores my faith in humanity 🙏
I should imagine due to the height you shouldn’t get as much bridge slap! edited I recommended this channel to friends colleagues and on social media sites, hopefully he can reach 100k sooner than later.
Wildling fridays🎉
Good tunes Mark , rock on man .
Always a treat to see a new video video from Mark!
And
NOTHING BETTER than a professional painter on a job like this.
Good job Mark. I see your Santa Cruz shirt. One saying we have around here is "a tree holds up to wind even though it never grows perfectly straight." Don't strive for craftsman quality this season. You'll have plenty of time to make her beautiful later. Get her water tight and ready to be back in the wind. Almost there!
when chiseling the beam, turn the chisel over so the handle stands off the wood. then the wedge will control the cut so you dont dig to deep.
FFS Mark you’re doing great and remember every day is a school day 👍
It is always a great day when I see your videos notification.
Wow, when you started the work it didn't seem like it was that much. It's finding all those little things that put you behind in your original plans. I've never started a refit that ended up taking the original scheduled amount of time to complete. It always takes longer than you think it will. You are learning so much more on this boat than the first one and the second one. You'll be a pro in no time. 🤗 ⛵
Making great progress, Mark. You're definitely putting the "sweat equity" into Mahi. 100K just around the corner! Really enjoy watching your videos every Friday from across the pond in the middle of the U.S.
Paint the rusted screws with a rust converter (hammerite krust ) ect before you fill the holes
Love the way you seem to take stuff in your stride and find a way to overcome it, I was disappointed when you uncovered the rusty screws, the builder seemed to have done a good job in so many ways then uses ferrous screws, obviously the boat has pretty much been abandoned for so many years too. Maybe it is OK to use those screws, I don't know but seems to be asking for trouble. You are obviously a great person to attract so much help from folks too. Already looking forward to the next video 🙂
The Motown Sound!
Acitate is great for shaping fiberglass.
No scarf joints are a really bad idea, but since you mentioned it, I guess you heard it a thousand times already. :) You could save some money on vacuum cleaner bags by putting a cyclone filter in the loop plus you get way longer uninterrupted working time without having to change bags. Otherwise I am still amazed how well the hulls have kept up being in the water so long including puddles inside without any maintenance.
Hi looking good but it will be good to see you mum and dad back helping you give you motivation to keep going
Mark, you're making this project look easy. What a great result to this point. Keep up this pace, and you will be crossing oceans ahead of schedule. Thanks for taking us along.
Good work Mark, looking forward to your progress every week. ❤Johann
Mark you are an absolute star. I watch every Friday. Ever since France and Nadiana. Anyway great work fella. Keep them coming. 😉
I'm 65 and remodel homes it's interesting and I'm still learning from watching you . Thanks for posting your rebuild
Johan from RAN sailing who is building *RAN 3" only use screws for when the epoxy is curing. Once the epoxy has cured, he removes the screws and put a bung in its place.
Remodelling homes?? That has absolutely nothing to do with boatbuilding!! What on earth do you think you are learning from watching someone bodging repairs on a boat???
@@jonathansimmonds5784 different techniques of construction when he started on beam repair using a hammer and chisel I knew it would be easier to cut it all out and use a 2 x 6 but I have never done any kind of fiber glass work now that I've seen it done I think I could repair a fiber glass tub or shower. Hope this answers your question.
Said it week after week, best channel on the Tube.
Shout out to Dominic for helping our boi!!
Given the age of the boat and the time it spent sitting in water, I am actually very surprised it's not a lot worse.
The clear plastic instead of peel ply is a top tip. I will be trying it out.
Great Mark, great work. Yeah upto 100k, from abound 37.5k by yourself!! Hope to see you sailing soon
Your dream is coming alive Mark !
Good job Mark. I was expecting a lot more rot when you first bought this boat and the fact it was sitting in swamp water for the last 15 yrs. The builder of this Wharram did an outstanding job building her. Your repairs look good and she'll be ship shape by the time you splash her in Sept.
@maruiacancerc I will subscribe to your channel sorry to hear you are unwell
Try using a flap disc on the filing knives to remove the filler and return them to being flat.
Hi Mark I've followed you from the beginning and I must say it's part of the reason I bought an abandoned Dufour 28 about 3 years ago . Learning as you go repairing everything. Then sailing to my home port Aguadulce in Spain from Murcia. I've always wanted to make a comment but until now I have not gotten round to saying anything. But to watch you struggle with a hammer and chisel is too much, I don't know if anyone has mentioned it either but a cheap router would save you tons of work and be much quicker for clearing out that dead wood .Also that spatula you use for applying filler is pretty unfriendly, there are rubber spatulas for applying fine fillers that are much more useful for large and small areas also excellent for curves . Hope my comment is helpful to you. Keep up the good work and videos.
You are on the right track & lucky to have developed good contacts like Hannekke and so many more, keep on……
Wow you are doing good work men! And what a legend is Dominique! Guy that knows what hé is doing.
Well done Mark, good to see you are focussed and doing a great job, nice to see you've got professional help too - that's a huge bonus. Looking forward to seeing Mam and Dad again. 👍
She's coming along!! Great to get some extra help on the job and all the nuggets of wisdom along the way. Nice tuneage too, well done!👍
Mark, I seem to remember that Sail Life had a Bosch vac that did a power pass through that would also auto start the vac if wanted. ;-)
Great job. Thanks.
I'm going to be a fortune teller and predict that you will be building your own boat in the future. Can't say when, but it will happen. It's frustrating when some previous owner does something not quite right and you have to deal with it.
Don't know if this will help - your work skills are getting more professional by the day! When I have worked on items that are a bit waterlogged, I pour methylated spirits (wood alcohol or brandspiritus in Dutch) into the area. Meths mixes extremely well with water - its specific gravity is almost the same. On a dry day it will evaporate rapidly, taking the water with it.
Acetone will dry better.
@@891mil I avoid it except for objects I can trust not to dissolve/delaminate or if there is any cellulose paint. It will work, but is too vigorous for me. Meths is safer.
Major score with Dominique showing up at the perfect time!
Dominique is a she.....
I'm sure you were inspired after feeling her sailing along nicely with the temporary sails to the marina!
Well Skipper, you look right at home and happy doing boat repair. Maybe you've found your calling aye? Stay at it, you'll get there.
definitely put it in big and sand it down, but sand it down with 36 grit on the angle grinder!
My admiration for you just continues to grow and grow.
Your commitment and patience is wonderful to behold
Keep going, Mark. You are progressing well.
On your metal scrapers, when they have dried resin build-up on then, then go rub them on a flat concrete path or slab. This will quickly remove the old resin and maintain a flat surface and edge.
Great work young lads 🙏
YOu can only do it your way as you are the one doing it. Great to see help come along out of the blue to speed you along.
Thank you Dominic! Timing m is everything 🎉❤
Great to see you getting help. Well done Dominic. Superb to see the progress. I agree scarf the joints, but awesome progress. Keep it up Mark ! Come on Everyone- just subscribe - please !
Thought you'd need to coach-screw or bolt the wooden beam addition, what with the multiple stress direction forces that will be on it ie. bow dipping and flying, cross waves and currents from all points.
Mark loving the videos your learning such a lot mate well done 😊
Great job, to make sure you don't go too deep when chiseling use them the other way up so the angled edge is moving along the wood, the angle gives you loads of control. Keep up the good work!
Nice to see Dominic and yourself holding the sander flat, I have had to fair numerous boats owners have sanded using the edge of the sander. They had more waves in the hull than the water.
Can't wait to see your Ma and Pa - they are such energetic and wonderfully spirited people. They must be so proud and delighted in you. xx
was watching a different video, and then i got a notification for this video, and then i immediately stopped watching and came to watch this instead!
Bring on the 2000 more subs guys... 100k live party yeah...
Great episode again mate. Good to see your skills growing and you getting to know your boat better.
This has become one of my favorite channels. Look forward to it each Friday. Keep your nose to the grind and I’m sure it will turn out beautiful!!
I love festool, worth the money. Great resale value also. If you purchased one new, used it for the job, then sell second hand, I doubt you'd lose much more than buying a cheap tool and struggling with it.
Remember that there is no such thing as truly stainless steel: even the best screws will rust when being close to salt water long enough. Another possible reason here might be lack of oxygen as screws were under the fiberglass, which can also cause stainless steel to rust. I'd bet those screws would not exist at all if those were not stainless, but I am not an expert so just a guess.
Do not know if it's a camera angle, but when you run the plane, hold it at a slight angle, so a blade is not cut 90° to the wood. It will cut easier for you.
Looking great. Parchment paper is excellent for a release for epoxy as well. Lite coats and less sanding makes for a whole lot less effort and better results. Patience is a virtue.
