Well you take me back to my much younger years in the late 80's. I worked on boats during my high school years, and had my 1926 Brynn that was built in Sweden. She was 25 ft and weighed in at 15,000 pounds. Yes she was that heavy. The mast was 38ft from deck, with overall length of 42 ft. Carried sails that you would find on 30 to 35 ft boats. Watching you do this, took me back to those grand old days of sailing her in 5 to 10 knot winds and on upwards of 60 knot winds. Keep having fun with that old girl. One day you will miss those days.
I’m impressed with your craftsmanship, your patience and your understanding of human nature. The comments you made regarding hiring folks who don’t have a heart or focus for this art was insightful. You have a wonderful way of going.
Keeping these beautiful boats in sailing order is a worthy task, I once helped to refit an old admirals skiff 40 ft 12 ft beam,with a dorman engine, lots of steaming ribs frame etc then the Corking miles of it, took 2 years back in mid 90s , she is still sea worthy, lots of memories so glad I was involved 🤣
I started working on little skiffs flat boat and I was a young lad of 10 or 12 years old did it right through my teen years and up in a young adult hood and then start working on houses and gave up on it all no I’m pushing 50 and kick myself in the butt for not just continuing to work on bolts I wish I would’ve so I just love watching people work on boats good job harbor freight stuff is cheap but it ain’t completely junk you just Gotta know play around and work with it I know my story doesn’t matter to you but you inspire me I love watching this is a way to vent when you don’t know a lot of people thanks for reading
Very nice work. We have the opposite problem here in Maine. I do most of my boat repairs on my 1936 cruiser in the Fall and epoxy can take up to three days to cure toward the end of November. Later in the season I sometimes leave a pot of epoxy under the boat so I can use it the next day.
Great video. Epoxy kicks really fast when you make a lot. Do smaller batches. Also, you can mix it, then spread it out on a tray. It can catch on fire, with big batches. Nice work!
You should find a place by the water and open up a learning school for people who are interested in learning about boats, woodwork, etc. I can tell you're a great teacher. You teach things like the old guys I grew up around in the 80s.. you respected them and seeing their lives you knew they were someone who could teach you a lot. My great uncles, 1 was a skilled carpenter taught me alot.. I didn't ask to be paid because I was getting something that money cannot get you..
RUclips suggested this video to me…. Wasn’t sure why. Then k realized your in St Marys Boat Services yard. Me too! I have the 43’ Hans Christian named “Grace”. Will be back there in Jan. We will stop by and say hi!
not always but sometimes there's two ways to do things. I would approached the fitting of the planks on the sides by using a splines and a hot glue gun. One sacrificial plank with smaller sticks glued to it and they would reach out to the hull. Remove the plank and trace out the curve. Always interested in different approaches.
I love woodwork and wish I could find someone close to help out. I don't know anything about sailing but I've set my mind to reading for now about it and going from there
Well, I've bought an Iroko hulled 36ft Frans Maas Breeon with a fit and finish you can only get with a solid wooden sailing yacht. Only problem is that the hull is partially rotted (she was built in 1962). I was wondering if you might know the easiest way of restoring her as an added problem is her iroko hull was built around a metal frame which is rustling away. Could I sheath the iroko with epoxy? Or shall in dig out the rot remove the metal frames and start from the beginning? Great channel Richard
Everyone else who has bought one of those from harbor freight doesn't seem to have a issue with the head handle moving.. did you read the directions to see if it has one or it needed tightened??
I have submerged the bucket of epoxy in a shallow tub of water with maybe even adding some ice to slow the cure down. This was using a product that you apply over old concrete to restore it but I would think as long as the water is just cool and not beer cooler temps. It shouldn't hurt most mixes. You definitely have a handle on your craft so sure this isn't a new idea to you. You are getting close to dropping her in the water now.
I don’t know what people are talking about everything I ever bought from Harbor freight I’m still using and some of my stuff I bought 25 years ago maybe it’s not the stuff is sharpie maybe it’s people don’t know how to use it right when you buy cheap tools you got to be gentle with them keep them oiled keep them greased i’m waxed you just can’t miss treat it’s not Bad designs most of these designs were stuff that was created 30 years ago and still being made.
Have you tried the epoxy out of the UK that's made from vegetables or something like that? No chemicals are used and you use a heat gun to get it to set faster?? I'm no expert and that's why I'm asking
What would a wooden sailboat same everything as yours cost to build new?? I know you can buy a new cape George 36 hull and filled keel without the decks and everything else, just filled keel and fiberglass hull for 37k..
This guy is awesome...somewhere between Ernest Hemingway and Jack Nicholson (check out The Last Detail). Love the pipe and the cigar. If I was nearby I would come by to volunteer. Rock on brother. Put on two or three layers of gloves at a time. Then just peel them off. After you mix your epoxy, pour it into a shallow container like a paint roller tray. This will extend the working Life by 4x. Check out the Travels with Geordie channel for good info on wood boats.
nobody stands behind a warranty like them either of you have a problem with the tool and you get the warranty they’re going to replace it down you question it tell me any other place that does that
1.) That's your opinion. You know what they say about opinions, they're like assholes and everyone has one. I think it's better if you keep yours to yourself. 2.) None of us have any right to judge one another. I personally don't smoke, but I'll be damned if I think I can tell anyone else what's good for them. 3.) Taking history for an example, which has had more success, condemnation, or education?

I love that you set up the planer with the lock facing the camera after it was fixed lol.
Man I’m so excited to see another video. I’ve been jonesing for some more boat work. You’re awesome dude!

Yes used to make my own trailers to all my boats I built and then pull them around on my bicycle miss being young
Thanks for watching! There are lots of boats out there that need fixing!
The video production is getting better and better. I'd love to see regular videos

Really interested in how you and your lovely wooden sailboat crossed paths and started this new adventure you're on together
Ha! That thicknesser looked like an oversized old fashioned toaster out of the box, dressed your timber like one as well.
You are a gifted guy 👍👍👍👍
Damn ashamed of the harbor freight planer. Beautiful work fitting all the different angles. Thank you for showing us how you did it.
could be nice if you need wedges
Just landed here courtesy of the algorithm, the intro got you an instant subscription lol. But ill stay for the build
Great video. Epoxy kicks really fast when you make a lot. Do smaller batches. Also, you can mix it, then spread it out on a tray. It can catch on fire, with big batches. Nice work!
Thanks for the detailed info, people with these skills are disappearing. I had no idea!
🤯 I better see more of these lol
Just found your channel . Nice work. One tip for longer pot life is wide shallow pans. The thinner it is the less mass at any given spot . Fair winds

I juat found your channel and really enjoyed your approach. Subscribed.
Good teaching and excellent results.
Nice work can't wait to see more

Looks Good
Nice video mate, good work! :)) Cheers!

Mosquito drinking blood light aaaaahahaha! XD
You're the best
Great video, is there a second part that shows you finishing the transom?
Good job 👋👋
Bravo!
Everyone else who has bought one of those from harbor freight doesn't seem to have a issue with the head handle moving.. did you read the directions to see if it has one or it needed tightened??
This guy just turned 14 or 40 but I can't figure it out. All seriousness, excellent presentations.
Excellent work so good to see👍🇬🇧

SUPER MARIO AT WORK IN REAL LIFE CHEERS
I hope you get the clicks etc you so richly deserve.
I don’t know what people are talking about everything I ever bought from Harbor freight I’m still using and some of my stuff I bought 25 years ago maybe it’s not the stuff is sharpie maybe it’s people don’t know how to use it right when you buy cheap tools you got to be gentle with them keep them oiled keep them greased i’m waxed you just can’t miss treat it’s not Bad designs most of these designs were stuff that was created 30 years ago and still being made.
Excellent , interesting how many layers will you apply?
Have you tried the epoxy out of the UK that's made from vegetables or something like that? No chemicals are used and you use a heat gun to get it to set faster?? I'm no expert and that's why I'm asking
What would a wooden sailboat same everything as yours cost to build new?? I know you can buy a new cape George 36 hull and filled keel without the decks and everything else, just filled keel and fiberglass hull for 37k..
Awesome!! Looks great 👍!
Is it possible to fiberglass the bottom and sides of a wood boat that size?
👍👍
This guy is awesome...somewhere between Ernest Hemingway and Jack Nicholson (check out The Last Detail). Love the pipe and the cigar. If I was nearby I would come by to volunteer. Rock on brother. Put on two or three layers of gloves at a time. Then just peel them off. After you mix your epoxy, pour it into a shallow container like a paint roller tray. This will extend the working Life by 4x. Check out the Travels with Geordie channel for good info on wood boats.
Makes for a nice taper planer🤣😂
Just a suggestion, do the hardest angle first ( the lower one) then the upper one.
Where is the videos for the rest of the layers? Part 2, 3……
Maybe your big bucket of epoxy kicked off partly due to sefl-heating.
🤣🤣🤣 5:44
nobody stands behind a warranty like them either of you have a problem with the tool and you get the warranty they’re going to replace it down you question it tell me any other place that does that
Talking to mutch !!
hi like what you do but cant hear you half the time get a better mike
You lost me at the cigar and the 48 minute long video
Get rid of the cigars and pipe; it's a stupid habit.
Yeah....could be.
Then could be same for issuing orders.
