I’d add 45 degree angle plates in the corners or cross strapping before it gets enclosed with the remaining structure. The twisting forces are going to be quite large and over time will weaken the structure even with the cover material added.

I was going to say a few diagonal beams might be a good idea but corner plates sounds good.

Your vlogs and this whole build is just fascinating to watch and follow.

Mannn you make me feel like I don't work hard enough.. your rocking it dude keep at it!

That is a really impressive peice of steel fabrication! You are never afraid to tackle any task and the results are typically, very good. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Thanks for sharing. From UK.

What a journey this has been! Congratulations on the perseverance and the project!!

Your welding has improved so much since you started! Its really coming along, nice work!!

WOW those walls are huge. The wind is really going to have a major effect on your shallow draft barge. You will definitely be using your bow thruster A LOT to counter the winds. I assume you will be adding some diagonal bracing to prevent any front to rear or side to side flexing. Good job.

I'm a big fan of log cabin builds, but discovered this particular video and I instantly had to go back to the beginning of your beautiful barge build. Your descriptions and shared candid thought process made me subscribe. Thank you and good luck. Well done!

Talk about production value. Very calming way of presenting things. Look forward to what’s coming. Well done!

What a pleasure to watch your videos! You did an awesome job with that structure!

Imagination…focus…determination…you have evolved and moved to the head of your class…well done…stay safe

We have welded various tubes closed and it is always surprising that they are not water tight . Even though the welds look good. Over time water gets in and rusts from the inside out. You may want to check you welds to avoid this problem Cheers warren

i keep coming back because what you're doing is fascinating and impressive. looking forward to seeing where you take it next!

That will be an amazing Party boat if you have sides that can be rolled up or to the side...don't know your final design but that will be amazing, I am going to ask my friend that lives there to come photograph it for me when you are done. Thanks for your updates.

Your symmetry transfer process is very clever and something I certainly would not have thought of. Great Idea!

That’s going to make such a huge living area! Good planing, good fabrication, it’s going to be a great home.

Nicht zu glauben, da baut sich der Kerl die Queen Elizabeth die Dritte mitten in Berlin. Man, hast du einen an der Waffel. Find ich Super. Hausbau mal ganz anders. Tollet Projekt, Kollege. Ick könnt mer Peitschen. Handwerklich Chapeau. Alle Gewerke in einem Mann. Well done.

Beautiful job on the framing...straight and true.

This is soooooo cool to watch. Love the format and shots too. Your lake is beautiful. Hope to see more like this in the future! Thanks for sharing

As they used to say on the "A-Team", don't you just love it when a plan comes together? I love how you have a basic, yet flexible plan to accommodate improvement changes. "Vorsprung Durch Technik".

Your welding and fabrication skills have come so far from the early videos, well done!

Wow! This is huge! My entire condo fits into that barge. Congrats.

Welcome back! 🎉 Good to see you again! 😊

This is one of like three channels I look for new videos!!!!! Keep it up bro! Awesome content!!!!!

I agree with most of the other comments. Very nice job! Look forward to future updates.

Really been looking forward to this build series keep up the good work

I'm late to this project, and just subscribed. Now I see why they always build the superstructure on dry land :) Much easier with a known level surface. Love this build!

What an amazing job, looking forward to the next video!

Bravo young man!👍🏿💪🏾🤚🏿 10:37

Congrats on building the frame for the huge cabin for ur barge boat. looks great..

This is literally in my top 3 channels I love watching. Can't wait for the next one, when it drops you yell to the ol lady Babe , he put another video out. Yeah that level.🤣🤣

You are doing amazing work on the barge!! Thanks for sharing

You do beautiful work, and you explain your work very nicely!

Well worth waiting for this episode. Keep up the great work.

Once again great work, well done. Looking forward to see this grow.

Good job buddy, keep up the good work. I really look forward to seeing your finished products.

It's amazing you are allowed to do this in Germany. Good for you! I lived there for 20 years and I know how many regulations there are. Einfach unglaublich! Gut gemacht!

So cool, can't wait to see end result. Very creative! I'm impressed

Will your anchor be big/strong enoughfor this? It will be a huge winx catcher with this structure added. Just a thought.

It's definitely a wind catcher. But no different than some of the houseboats on the water. It could be two stories high.

You aren't afraid of going big. Great work

Hi my German friend, Again this is a nice piece of welding and the lines of a partyboot can be repeated very well already. Wish you lots of success with this project and send you love from the Netherlands

Great seeing it all come together and the views are 👌🏻.

For anyone trying to frame a large structure by yourself, a good assortment of tension/ ratchet straps is a huge help in getting things lined up and square before the final weld/ bolt/ nail. And as demonstrated here, also a big help in getting heavy or awkward beams/ posts/ tubing into place with only one set of hands. I'd place them only slightly behind clamps for handiness on big jobs.

I hope you are keeping in mind wind and top-heavy loading. Also consider gussets and brackets to maintain angles…so far, job well done! 👍

making sure to like before moving on to next part of video playlist ❤ thats a nice boat you got there 👍 don't forget the solar panels and trolling motors ❤

Love your channel, thank you for sharing your skills and the building process. Keep up the great work, GREETINGS from Riverside in Southern California, God Bless you, this is Alan.

Sure is fun following along with this project. Thanks for sharing

I can't wait to see this boat take shape. Love the name.

Looking forward for the finished cabin

Great progress! Keep rolling!

I watch and think about what I would do if I was you, then you come along and do it different, and better of course. Good stuff.

Excellent ! Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸

Great ingenuity and craftmanship! I enjoyed this very much.

It'll be as much fun watching this build as you must be having building it!

your learning curve in welding, very honest. the tach welds holding are in continuity of a bigger satisfied object. Steel is a mystery. Weld away.. hope you get a nice machine delivered. I went through too small, generator included, a long time ago. no instructions...all trial and error.

GOT TO HAND IT TO YOU FOR GETTING THE FRAME EVEN AND LEVEL WHILE ON A MOVING BARGE.

Love your channel 👍 been here 2 years, can’t wait for each upload 👍

excellent job you say just tack weld that's okay but definitely do a full bead on each side awesome job love your videos can't wait to see how this one turns out

G'day Michael, Very cool video,, This is a fantastic project, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Congratulations on one of the best builds on YT. RESPECT....!

I've subscribed to your channel finally. Your barge build reminds me of my days of serving in the Navy in Key West, Florida. I was assigned to a landing craft (LCM 7) in 1965 - 66. Your project is awesome. I will be following along with extreme interest. Thank you for sharing with an old sailor.

Looking good! I noticed your welding skills have improved greatly from when you began. I leave where welding in the wind happens all the time... you may consider using a flux core welding wire in you wire feed welder. You may already be aware of that process, for me it works well in windy conditions. I am looking forward to seeing your finished product.

I’m watching you from South Florida man I’m really into what your doing and excited to see how it comes out

I really enjoy watching your build... an outstanding presentation. Thank you

To keep your weld pure, maintain gas flow for a second or two at the end of the weld bead. Until it 'skins over', the weld puddle can absorb contaminants that can compromise the join.

Looks great. I think I would have left room for a walk way on each side, but definitely will be spacy inside.

Starting to take shape now👍

One of the more interesting v logs on KZread.

Хорошая конструкция . Делали подобную потом прикручивали сэндвич панели к ней. . Быстро собирать. И тепло в помещении.

You're welding has improved

Well done. You deserve a medal.

If you don't trim the ends that you fold over on the beams, you can use this to hold on to the vertical joints as well. Looking good.

Weld done…😅 great work…excellent presentation as usual…be safe

WILL BE A GREAT SHELTER AFTER YOU GET THE ROOF SHEETING ON. BUILS A TINY HOME UNDER TO LIVE ON!!! FANTASTIC JOB.

well done on a difficult job, looking forward to seeing the progress vlogs cheers

Professionally done as usual .

Nice work. The finished design will be very useful.

You need wind bracing. Use flat straps of metal. Very thin. To make big X shaped braces for each side. It will save you in the long run.

I would definitely burn it in w/ full passes now that you have everything in place, square & plumb. Looks good.

Thanks for your hard work very entertaining.

Lot$ of effort$ to be done, good luck and I'm sure that you'll enjoy your Houseboat rather sooner than later, Captain!

Very well done and I have to point out that's a lot of room for activities you've got there. I wondered if you'd be turning the barge into a house boat and it appears you had that same idea in mind when purchasing it. A good solid and cheap foundation that offers a ton of space, pretty ingenious if you ask me. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...

Don't fib! You're a master at what you do making like it's your first time.

Great project and very impressive what you get done! I would have made the superstructure lower by including the hull, reducing the windage and lowering the center of gravity. It would also look a bit more "ship like". In the Netherlands you will not be welcome in most places with a square house boat.

Best wishes on your future endeavors with your vessel.

Noticed your welds are getting better. Keep it up, pretty neat project. 🤘

Just stumbled onto your channel. This is so cool! Can't wait for you to add on die poopenfahrten (that's German for "bathroom," for all you non-Deutsch sprechers ;)).

Great job! Congratulations!

Well done keep it up all the best from UK.

ingenious , well done

Great job，I really enjoyed seeing this work.

Gonna be real boss, the cyberpunk/dystopian music is a weird choice for a boat building vlog but i'm vibing with it.

looks great, well done.

wow well done man!

Your doing a great job. Please don,t forget to build an overhang on each side of the roof so that snow/ rain falls directly into the water and not onto your side decks.We call them eaves not sure of the German equivilant
