When Health and Safety really started to bite, it was dangerous as it was a one size fits all mentality. I worked in tunneling and those HiVi waistcoats caught in everything you had to squeez by. One chap got caught in the conveyor belt rollers, luckily there was a safety cable the full length of the conveyor that he could pull and close it down. The safety cable wasn't in the H&S regs by the way. So a bright spark came up with HiVi stripped T shirts and best of all HiVi stripped trousers, the moving legs and arms caught the eye a lot better than the body waist coats.

Thanks to you and all your supporters for making these videos happen. The progress is amazing and the end goal getting that bit closer every day. Well done all.

Considering how well Sari survived decades of neglect and poor maintenance, it's a testament to how well she was originally built by those war time shipwrights. I'm sure they are all beaming down on you guys as you bring their masterwork back to life. The biggest sacrifice has been the many tea bags that valiantly gave their lives so that the mighty crew of Sarinda could bravely soldier on without nodding off while sanding and painting...Perhaps, some day, an hundred years from now some as yet unborn re-builder will dig into Sarinda and declare, 'Blimey! Some cracking Lads overbuilt this old girl! But we can't figure out what the sign on this small locker means, 'Robbo's Cupboard'?'...

Also a tribute to the quality of wood. Gramps built a DAM out of planks of old hemlock he CHOPPED down & took to mill. Used whole trees laid across stream, which floods so bad 4' dia boulders roll like basket balls, put planks in vertical. 50 yrs ago, it's almost all still there! The old family place, I do any work & cut the old hemlock and it still smells like day it was cut. That much resin is in it. It's like nature impregnated it with natural epoxy. To my everlasting regret folks listened to a GC who was an old friend doing the work, not me, a mere architect, sigh, family, when refurbishing house & had vast amounts of old growth 150 yr old hemlock diag sheathing ripped off & thrown in the dump, replacing it w WAFER BOARD. Sigh...

Big fan of this build. Unlike others such as Tally-Ho that built a restomod recreation of the original ship, you are actually saving and restoring THE actual ship that steamed to Dunkirk to save the troops.

So sad to see that your mates on the Aurora lost their boat last night. What a loss after all of their work.

Gemma for safety sake please use a push stick when using the table saw because timber will kick back at times or you hit a softer piece of wood and it will shoot through and you could lose a big chunk of skin or even fingers , we love watching you and Simon working together not just Simon with mention of you at home healing , love your vlog best wishes from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

Brother you have the patience of a Tibetan monk God bless y'all

Good job your not put off or frightened by this project your a couple of grafting inspirations

Just love how fast this is progressing, teamwork is excellent as always. Gemma making video's and Simon doing the hard work ;-) just kidding, you both work very hard. The deck project is getting closer and closer, wonder how the connection between the deck and the sides will be made but it all will become clear soon ;-) Nice to see some nice landscape views in a boat restauration video ;-)

Love the tea bag squeezer, great tool keep chugging away ❤ ignore the naysayers they’re jealous, love the pink gloves

You've come a long way from your first video whwn all the armchair ankers were saying "you don't know what you're doing, just sell the engines and set it on fire.". You are so adept at this now that you make it look so easy, and I know it's not. We can now see solid progress with every video. You have my deepest respect. Keep going, your doing great. Best wishes, John

Very satisfying watching cancer out , fresh life in . Awesome progress as per usual

Gemma, can I politely mention that you should always wear eye protection when using a table saw? I’m no means an health and safety zealot, but as a an experienced woodworker, the teeth on those blades are brazed on and some will occasionally come off. The chances of one hitting you in the eye is probably slim, but the effect would be devastating. Take care and thank you for the video record of your huge restoration! You guys are an inspiration!

Better to have holes on top than below the waterline! :P Great job!

great dad joke

you two work so well together your work ethic is brilliant such a joy to watch

Great video Sarinda is coming along great.

What a team, and marriage. You both are amazing.

Halfway through the episode and I'm truly shocked by the extent of the rot, also amazed you are unphased by it. Very impressive!

Aurora Restoration !!!! Project Ship happens did you know the AURORA HAS SUNK

Fabulous work. 👍 loving the channel, its makes me laugh a lot 😂

Good to see you wearing mask when removing old "lagging" A couple of my old ERA friends from the RCN are suffering from that dust having caused some serious lung problems.

I forgot to finish watching this episode as it got late. Watching you going through Dust masks and steamed up glasses, reminded me to mention the Trend 'Stealth ' mask to you. They are reasonably cheap and seal very well. I have never had my specs steam up using it. Cheaper in the long run compared to the disposable ones. Its also very light and is not much bigger than the paper ones. Screwfix have them and Amazon too. Best mask I've ever used and I've used a lot over the years.

Brilliant! Also .... All hail the algorithm

That type saw Simon was using over here in states we call a “SAWS-ALL” because it can saw anything

Wrong. Milwaukee tools introduced the first reciprocating saw under the brand name "Sawzall" which is a play on "saws all". Ever since, people colloquially refer to every reciprocating saw as a "Sawzall". Same thing as every circular saw being a "Skilsaw".

My mother has one of those tea bag tools. She was born in Lakenheath, Suffolk but now lives near Seattle. I was over that way towards the end of last year. Was hoping to be able to go by and look at the boat from the shore, but unfortunately not enough time to head down there from Edinburgh.

Apollo-G...🤣🤣🤣

I imagine that oak would have been plentiful for a while after the Great Storm of a few years ago from all of the trees that were blown down? So, the work continues.... do you guys ever dare to think about a possible launch date? Sarinda is going to be as near to new as anyone can make her, you two are doing such an amazing job of restoring her! I think I might be a little nervous about èxposing her to really bad weather but that's not likely anyway so she should have many more years of life ahead of her!

Well done again. From my job in the chemical industry supplying raw materials to the adhesive industry i learned that Larch can have some challenges when it comes to adhesion properties. So I would recomend you to do some glue ups with your typical glies you use and compare it to the different wood you are using, and see if you still get a good bond also to Larch wood.

Gemma, you need one of the auto-body sanders that have the small thin belts and allow you to rotate the length of the sander surface to get into tight places. 30, 45, 90 degree along the belts length to the body of the sander. I used one at a friends shop - game changer. I know Milwaukee has one, probably others as well.

Nice work!! The 'reciprocating saw' is also known as a 'sawsall' (pronounced: saws all) in the US.

What a mess to replace the hull and deck planking,but they keep a good attitude!! God bless both of them!

Robinier wood (false acacia) is used to make posts in sea water, it resists 100 years. I made my courtyard posts with it 40 years ago and they haven't moved. We find plenty of them in the forest.we also make fence piles with it

I so want to see you guys sail !!!

As alwys, I'm blown away at he work you do. But saddened at the huge setback as experenced by your friends at the Aurora Restoration project. Thus far, all news is from big media and government officials. Will be interesting to hear of it from your perspective.

While watching you on the table saw Please use a push stick it's all too easy to get distracted even for a few seconds and then loose fingers of a hand !!!! Its about H'n S ' Be very careful with tools like that

Just as long as the big hole is NOT on the bottom

You could do with a square bucket on a rope to catch those old copper rivets. That stuff is (very) not cheap. A garden pruning saw (chain saw type) could be ideal for taking out rotted wood. Worth a thought maybe.

It's not the size of the nail that counts, it's the hammer you hit it in with.

Slow but steady, you will finish it soon, then the real work begins. New deck time hopefully this summer? That would be nice, keep the rain out and stop more rot. great update 2x👍

another brilliant episode

Well done Simon Jemma, you've made huge headway into Sarinda's repairs& by Christmas you'll be anchored off the coast of Trinidad & Tobago at this rate. 😁

Reciprocating saw, here in the US usually called a sawzall. We've got a lot of folk with a "plumber's crack" here in the US. I've got a son-in-law with a plumber's crack when he bends over, he's an electrician and a big boy. I give him a**t about it all the time. We've way to many big folk here in the US.
