Of course, I don't know English, but I often look at your works. Very often they are simply mesmerizing. Of course there is a lot of work when you put the boat in order. And the most important thing is when the client is satisfied with your work, and will remember you only with kind words.

Great video! On the pour foam instead of applying pressure with your foot, use a bag of ice in the compartment. That would release the heat without the bowing of the compartment. I like the fact you’re trying to mimic a whaler with all the foam.

Mike your skills are top notch!! Good video my friend!! Blessings

Absolutely awesome DIY craftsmanship 👍👍

What a aret video!!! I really appreciate all the details!!! Thanks!

Don't really like the idea of bending my rods but it certainly would work

They only bend when you put them in. Once you stick them in the end, they straightened out.

Have you thought of installing a lift up rod holder,would safe more space and would be nice,hopefully soon I get a boat and do it

first TBN you have totally inspired me to build a boat! Wanted to pass this along for you all here is info for possible change in pvc here is the item HydroMaxx 1-1/2-in x 25-ft Schedule 40 PVC Pipe Item #2594404 Model #BF112025 changes your look a little better and its flexs well. Thanks again for all the videos!

Mike, you need to find a sellable repurpose for your aluminum waste...Etsy for wind chimes or practice pucks for aluminum welding...try to recoup some of the sizeable investment

What do you think about a whisker biscuit for your grommets

Is there a video how you carpeting the hatches? Especially the inside of the hatches. It looks so pretty but I never see how you doing this

Great job man I wish I could be good like u keep up the good work

Tiny Boat Nation I’ve tired again and it wasn’t good as before

Why not cut the tubes and cap them with glue and primer?

Doesn't having a bend on your rods the whole time they're in the locker adversely affect the blank?

Thats the problem with port-side rod storage. Center compartment is always the best area on the boat to store your rods.

What length did you make that locker compartment?

What size hole saw did you use?

Dude your work is amazing. I have a question on motors. What do you decide you can do on motors vs taking to a mechanic? Especially with repairs and maintenance. I appreciate your videos and answers to my questions.

Man...you should recycle all of that aluminum to make some money back, it's not much, but way better then trashing it. Also, you can find schedule 26 PVC and just about any lawn supply store, it's for lawn irrigation, way easier to bend and manipulate.

I can get 20' of 1-1/4" PVC conduit at a local electrical supply store for about $50 and get three tubes out of it. If you have a source that is inexpensive, I'd love to hear! Thanks.
