- It's unfortunate that we give the word Failure such a negative context. Because if you are not failing at something you are either doing nothing or you are only copying the steps that someone else created. Willingness to fail is key to creativity and innovation and successful life. LIVE Celebrate Life. All of it.
And thanks to Philip Carlsson of Sweden for the awesome new opening clip.

Super video (as usual). I laud your way of treating your guests especially the children. Made the whole video worth the watch. Made me feel welcome!
I love that you took the time to show the visiting children what you were doing and let them experience a part of it.
If you are nothing else, you are tenacious! But of course, you are more than that. I'm continually impressed with what you are doing and that you are doing it in your front yard. Even with or maybe because of your "failures", your work is inspirational.
The road to success is lined with Failure! Don't know if I stole that but you my friend are persistent! And I thinks that's why you have the following that you have. So many don't try because of their past failures. Watching you is an inspiration to NEVER quit!
Rome wasn't built in a day ,Thanks for making the video I like how you don't just go out and buy something like that off the shelf good stuff very entertaining and you don't sugar coat the problems..
I recently discovered your channel and have watched a lot of your videos. You and people like you are the reason I don't watch television anymore. Thank you for your hard work in sharing all of this with the rest of us primates in the world... awesome!
YOU ALL - handle frustration with dignity and appropriate language! I admire both and can see a finished product in the near future!
Very well put. If failure isn't in a persons vocabulary, mindset or life in some form, there on the wrong planet. Sometimes all the work with the castings looks lost but there's that learning process, onward and upward. I learned again, and I'm an old bugger !!
Unlike a lot of channels, Doug shows us the lessons he's learned along the way, no matter the results, or lack of... I know he'll get there eventually, and everyone watching will be able to understand why he's doing it and not just how.. Keep up the good videos Doug and Betsy !
Its called learning!!! I do learning too. Sometimes it gooood, sometimes its fun. All the times I learn. Thank Doug
My kids and I sat around the laptop cheering the successes and cussing like a half-drunk sailor when that freaking mold broke again. (well, I did the cussin'. Mamma was too close for the kids to spout off). If empathy were gold and sympathy silver, then you'd be rich man for sure. If it matters, you've got young and old kindred spirits sending you all the best vibes we can. We learned a ton just watching this. No failures noted here. Wish we could help out monetarily and not just in spirit. Fair winds and following seas......
I have watched this project since the very first episode. Incredible what you boys pull off in your stride. Thanks for sharing it with us. Keep them coming, Simon from Conwy North Wales x
Very happy to see how nice the part came out this time. Your efforts are paying off. I admire all the research you do to prefect what ever you're involved in be it castings, pouring lead into the keels, or just making fantastic video's to keep your viewers up today on your progress. Again, happy to see your success with this casting. JD
This vid puts into perspective just what Bronze age man actually achieved. Feel sure you'll get there in the end Doug' and you'll have learnt a great deal along the way- thanks for shearing you journey with us...
Doug, your determination and persistence is inspiring and your patience is saint-like.
Just wow. I applaud your level of commitment and patience!
Thanks Doug. Yours is most entertaining channel on RUclips.
Thank you for sharing this. When it goes wrong people usually don't want to share. Good luck for next time.
I admire your perseverance and calm. You have all my sympathy. You'll crack it soon.
Inspiring stuff as ever Seeker crew. Next time I think things are going wrong for me I'll plug in and watch this session again, then get back to it.
You are one persistent man. My hats off to you.
indeed
+Tater79bj He reminds me of Thomas Edison .
+Harvey Zearing Totally!
Naaa, I only need enough good sense to love others. I have no need to think that I am better than them.
Cheering for you from South Carolina! Thanks Doug and crew!
I agree that without failure, we can't learn from our mistakes. Failure is a natural form of learning and growth.
A pleasure that you share your "failures." One step closer to the best solution. Great stuff!
you have what it needs to get this done and that is the paitaince of a saint. keep it up!!
This is so cool to see you guys build this ship. Best of luck to you and to the people who help you to make this a reality.
I never thought I would be this interested in something like this. Keep them videos coming!
Your perseverance is great to watch, looking forward to the next episode
When that one mold started spewing steam explosions...I was almost sure this was going to be the last episode of your channel...I wanted to run away from my phone...much less be next to that mold while pouring...
You guys got church bells for for balls... and the perseverance in the face of what looks like an extremely steep learning curve is inspiring. I learn something new with every edition to your channel.
Thank you for documenting and sharing what you do there.
watching you guys, it is like watching an inventor(s) starting from the beginning, please note, I say that kindly... most folks will do all that they can to hind the whole learning process, as to leave the images that they had no issues..... but you guys, showing all the great moments and to include the rough moments, is priceless. besides, how many other folks do you know that are pulling off a project of this magnitude... I commend you folks for rocking and rolling, I really enjoy watching all that you guys/gals are doing... I consider folks of a bazillion years ago and they didn't have a hardware store down the road.... for sure let a person appreciate the amazing fete of engineering that had, heck, it is hard today to build things.. Great job folks
I like the Mandela quote. You are becoming my gold standard for the man who simply will not give up!
+Dick Damian I am listening to the book "UNBROKEN". Louis Zamperini is that man in my mind.
+SV Seeker have you tried keeping some sort of outer layer of steel(like an tall propane tank with the top and bottom cut off)on the outside of the mold to help keep the mold from cracking during the burn out process?
+SV Seeker im not much of a reader but I picked up unbroken shortly after it came out. It was left out on a end table at a family friends house and I had read the first 40 pages before I left (think I was actually there for to sit shiva but I was young and didnt know the person, the book was way more entertaining). Also the movie was shit like a 2/10
In the description the line "if you are not failing at something you are either doing nothing or you are only copying the steps that someone else created" is this a famous quote? I like it
i love watching your videos while having my breakfast. Such a good way to start the day !
I applaud your tenacity! Excited to see the next installment!
This is my favourite one yet. Today, after watching this, I managed to get an algae to live inside a paramecium; I've been trying for about 5 months to get it to work. All that failure does is make the eventual success all the more sweet.
+Peter Stilwell A solar powered paramecium. Coool.
Thank for taking time to teach the children about mold making. I just love your videos, your just amazing.
LOL What a great learning experiance! Man, Doug- you have WAY more patience than me brother! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the vid, most entertaining and educational channel on youtube IMO...
Nice how you include the failures. We all learn most from those. Too often RUclips video editors decide to cut out anything negative and act like they got everything right on the first try. Then others come along and say hey that's easy! Only to be disappointed when they have to find out the hard way and burn through investment funds.
AWESOME teaching moments there! AWESOME.
Doug- I want you to know these casting projects really show your stick to it attitude in a spectacular way that should be preserved as a video collection in the national archives or the Smithsonian institute for future reference as a motivational instructional example for future generations. You make Tony Robbins look like a homeless person laying on the sidewalk asking for nickels and dimes ! !
Luv your quote at the end! It warms my heart. Kinda like a burning tire around my neck!
Beautiful work, building a tower of success from bricks of failure.
You will eventually succeed, I know you will (you may already have as of this writing). And the sense of satisfaction you get will be renewed every time you look at that winch.
awesome work guys. eventually the hard work will pay off and you will have a beautiful part. thanks for sharing you are an inspiration sir. good day to you.
As usual, much good philosophy, Doug! Enjoyed this!
Excellent video. There are so many lessons you have shared here. Well done
I wish I had your patience, I'm stressed to hell just watching here in my home...
thank you for sharing the good and difficult times, you'll win in the end I'm sure
yea...putting the mold into a steel drum should fix the leaks. FWIW....I've done a little reading on Bronze castings and after learning how hard they are...I then had a new appreciation for every bronze monument I saw.
After watching this last video...I have even more appreciation for bronze castings. There's just so much to go wrong. It is truly an art.
Also...Makes me really appreciate a bronze cannon. Wow...Just think about any defects under pressure of firing a cannon.
FWIW...Great video...as usual.
I must say you are very patient. And very persistent. Keep it up.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE BOTH STUDENT AND TEACHER -- I LIKE THE KIDS
Well done doug . keep leaning along with us !!!
cant wait till the next videos
So much perseverance here and patience. Keep it up!
Your perseverance is inspiring.
I am impressed by your resilience. Thanks for sharing
Finally a new video! I seriously look every morning :) let's get this thing done!
Your new fancy rotating logo is very nice. tenth time is a charm! - Cheers, Bryan
These guys really persevere. Respect.
Wow what a back breaking you you guys persistent with. Great lesson learned. ..thank you very much
That was a very trying session (sessions) with the casting. Sympathies! I seem to recall lost wax investment casting can be pretty tricky.
Kudos for extreme perseverance in so many ways.
It would probably be cheaper and certainly less effort to just buy a damn boat, but glad you decided to go this route. I really enjoy this channel although I've learned nothing. What you do is way above the abilities of most mere mortals.
You got cannon balls! I would never attempt this, and have nothing but respect for what you've done.
+mlmontalvo Absolutely. If you don't want to learn metal working and boat building you should buy a boat and pay someone else to fix it.
love the longer videos and great work !!!!!!
I always learn something in your videos keep up the good work."What is failure but only experimentation" a wise man once said
Doug, I love the Ron Paul shirt!! Awesomeness!!!
+chill214 I seem to vote for lots of loosers. :)
love the new opening clip!
Brad
Great interaction with the children. Well done.
What a frustrating process. I was waiting to see the last one come out of the mold like it was designed. I'm sure all that have watched this video was thinking along the same lines. Looking forward in seeing the final product.
i learned a whole bunch from that. Thank you for sharing. i may not ever do something that large but it is a great lesson.
Muito bom SV SeeKer dificuldades na vida todos nós temos , Mas a força de vontade e a determinação nos fazem ir a longe
parabéns pelo trabalho meu amigo ,,,,felicidades !
Love the new intro!
I can tell next time it will work... You've come to far, I just hope it will be a method that can go with you on your travels. Can't wait to see the exciting conclusion to the casting of that winch.
Love the new logo and very impressed with your perseverance, keep up the good work! Always hanging out to see your next video
I am right with you on all those failures and success's maybe a few days later when you post the videos but none the less :D
goo seeker.
Not much I can add to this. I admire your tenacity.
diggin that new 3d logo you got rollin there. Great video. Very inspirational. Never give up.
Man you do all kinds of neat stuff!!
I know this is an old video but thanks so much for sharing. Fascinating
Wow - you've got some patience, puts me to shame!! Really look forward to these episodes.
You have such knowledge.
Keep up the good work!!
i have been binge watching your youtube channel and just think this is an amazing concept and idea! Wish i was closer to come help or even just visit!
Keep up the good work! Awesome stuff!
Stopping to inspire the kids,,, excellent man!!
New appreciation for the ancient Babylonian bronzes!
Indeed.
Wow what a great vid. You guys rock, plus you are boat people.
You are great !, you have a crazy dream and you share it with others. You have created a community, as the community of the ring ... not about skin color , political opinion or the right to self-defense .... but around a unifying project will soon wear the colors of this community on the world's seas .
thank you for all this
I dunno what it is but there is something strangely relaxing about watching molten metal being poured
the last 2 videos are somehow viewed better :) No, a video every 2 days is not needed. The diversity and time progression of material in video makes it better! Good luck with the anchor winch!
People who never have a failure, are people who never try.
You are definitely one of the triers, all will be well in the end I am sure.
And it is the end result that counts.
You guys have my respect for sure. first Green Sand then lost wax and foam. When artist do lost wax (think bronze sculptures) they dip in a slurry from very fine to progressively more coarse. This helps the finish. Its funny watching your videos because I suggest things in my head and a minute later your doing it. I made brass medallions once and we had to heat the molds in a kiln for several days and pour while the mold was still hot. Not sure if it is feasible for you since our molds were considerably smaller. Can't wait to see the result.
+Cleo Torris Yes. We have little bubbles cast into the surface. But we can use a grinder. That would make an artist's head explode. :)
Do you have to add zinc to reduce the porosity? I think that is what we used, but it has been a long time.. Better look it up. Cool vids!
This is so good mate keep it up. Love it.
Difficult times with that mould but I'm sure patience and persistence will pay off in the end!
Nice quote Doug!! Thanks!
You will get it - I like your new plan.
This was freaking awesome, I know you will find a solution in time
You Sir are Awesome!
i just want to say that i appreciate the fact you show how frustrating it can be and how much it makes you want to swear. so many videos on youtube are candy coated and it makes you think you can do anything.
I'm sorry. Did I miss an opportunity to swear? : )
@@SVSeeker nope, you done did good lol
What a adventure you're having. Wish I could be there to help out and probably get in the way.
Yeeeeah! Fresh vid! 👍🏻👍🏻😜
I can't wait till the launch :')
Quite informative! Thank you!
Great video!
That was such a great video! So interesting to watch :D I'm new to the channel and completely hooked! Can't wait to see you master this process :)
