Why didn't you butt join the longitudinals on top of a beam? It would be stronger and invisible from inside the boat.

I love this channel ! It is not just a boatbuilding adventure, it is an entertainment asylum !

Guys, watch that lithium battery. It looked in very poor shape. Remember your lovely wooden boat. We are having heaps of house fires here in Australia due to lithium batteries.

My garage burnt down in February due to a tool battery going critical on charge,& it took half the interior of my house with it. In future, once the insurance company has rebuilt it & I replace all my tools, I'll go for a steel fire &heat proof box for Lithium Ion batteries - I can recover from smoking out my garage with toxic fumes, but living in a hotel is getting very old...

Agree totally, just modifying a steel toolbox with gypsum fire rated sheet inside as a storage and charger box for all my batteries as it is really becoming a concern with the lower quality batteries starting to appear everywhere. At least it is much safer than taking a risk. Please consider making one for Sarinda - your safety and investment are important.

It is so great that the boat found the people to fix her like new. Somewhat but it being fixed with love to the Sailers that where her crew.

Great work, but I'm a bit confused as to why the first center board wasn't cut to length so that the join would be in the center of the crossbeam. That way any join would be invisible from inside and supported.

Guys I know nothing about Saving a boat like this but if I was going to tackle it I think I would go about it exactly as you do as it seems so common sense. Admire your dedication and patience, you guys are unreal

Just imagine walking to the front bit and not ending up inside. 👏👏 So much better and she will be water tight. great update 2x👍

Great stuff, but cut those rebates in two passes with the router. Not only will you extend the life of the router and bits, you'll get a better finish and reduce the risk of hot embers falling in your dust.

Amazing job! You both continue to amaze us with your passion.

You’ve both been so dedicated to to this project, it’s such slow work, I can’t wait for you get out of the mud 😂 you deserve a lot more subscribers, ❤

Your progress is staggering, and she is looking beautiful. Thanks for sharing every week. Can't wait to see the deck on.

Using copper nails to join your deck beams to steel or cast iron corner brackets creates contact between two dissimilar metals. Electrons will flow from one metal to the other - a Galvanic current - this leads to corrosion at the junction and eventually destruction of the joint. And if there is any moisture present from leaks or condensation, it gets even worse - you've built a battery. Maybe you should switch to a steel or a stainless steel fastener more like the bracket material instead of copper to reduce the Galvanic potential. Maybe a marine engineer could suggest a better fastener to use. I love your work and work ethic and would hate for you to get bitten by this issue down the road.

@jackzux9362

20 күн бұрын

Of course. Copper must not be combined with steel or cast iron, as this will result in intense corrosion processes. The brackets should be screwed to the wood using steel, preferably galvanized screws. Stainless steel screws should not be used here.

You are 100 percent correct, I hope they get your input before they bury this in Ply...

The very solid sound of the nails going through the knees was extremely satisfying. 👍

Here in Australia that bastard is called a wood rasp, a carpenters tool, the bastard is a medium file for metalwork, a fitters tool.

Great job!!!!! Sarinda is smiling for sure!!!! 😊

I think your boat with character is worth more then a super yacht . Thanks for sharing .

1:40 you know, when you see how good that new beam shelf and all the ends of the frames, the gaps for the gunnel strips and the joints of the deck beams. It just looks incredible. When you look back to the first videos and seeing the first work carried out replacing the rotten frames, showing the rotten beam shelf it just seemed such an impossible task, I was thinking “where is the strength going to come from to hold together a ship that once had few structural members but now has many fractional parts. But the reality is, it’s probably a lot stronger and secure now than ever. I really don’t understand where you both get your inspiration and energy from, well I do but I’m blown away. Literally.❤❤❤

It’s looking amazing. What a time it’s taken to get here. So much work but done amazingly. The love you have shown to get the old girl a new lease of life.

Love the new deck shape, nice rounded deck instead of the flat military one.

Regarding the 4K resolution, had a look last week on the big screen TV. "Just like being there." Brilliant!

I have been watching since the begining. It is amazing how far the two of you have come with the project.

So exciting to get to the foredeck. Cannot wait to see next week's episode. One thing I would do in cutting the notches for the longitudinals is to add a sled to the bottom of the router. I have the same model and it has a removable plastic shoe on the bottom. Take that off and get four longer screws the same size and then bolt a board that is at least 2x the length of the slot to the bottom of the router. That way, it will always span the full gap and be fully supported on both sides.

Another great step forwards for Sarinda and a learning curve for you's moving ahead. Absolutely brilliant progress. You nailed it!!! (no pun intended).

A heart-warming victory. Congratulations from Melbourne!

You two are really becoming master boatbuilders although I did question your horizontal scarf joint on the longitudanls. Wouldn't it be better to butt join the boards in the middle of the deck beam cuttout rather than in mid-air? The load pressure is downward and even with an underboard you are not adding anymore strength. Another tip to fix Jemma's deck beam chip. Save some of that fine sawdust you've "hoovered" up, mix it with clear resin to thicken, slap it on Simon's chip.cure, sand and 3 coats of varnish and you'll never see it.

Your beams are wonderful. Even the chipped tooth one . Good idea to spray down for hot spots. Will not be long before all your hull stable cable spider web will not be needed.🎉 With a rain proof roof deck.

SO happy to see you taping up the longitudinal joint Simon!

The addition of skills, and the improvement of existing skills is fun to watch in both Simon and Gemma. Great job you two, keep it up! Cheers from Dallas🍸

Yes I routed a big piece of Iroko timber and found multiple smoldering spots. Seem iroko is especially prone to that.

Next time on Ship Happens its clean your boat time😅😅😅😂😂😂

While the hot cutter on the router can start a fire in dry sawdust or shavings... Sparks can cause a dust explosion in an enclosed space. Damp sawdust as it drys compost heats and can also cause a fire.... So hoover it dry ....store it in a metal bin or barrel with a lid and if you wet it ... Wet it to a slurry its heavy and messy buy safe. I know a violin maker who made that mistake and lost his workshop and nearly his whole house..🔥

Looking good. I've been waiting for this moment for quite some time but obviously not as much as you two have been. Thanks

You guys are truly inspirational. And basically fearless. Well done! 🇨🇦

Nice goin m8s, excellent work. Fly in ya brew, its ok, he wont drink much, he was probably tryin to do the back stroke anyway!

Great job, you two. She will look fantastic when the new deck is complete. Fantastic work as always😁

Great video again, learning as you go. The smouldering sawdust is a definite thing you need to check. I worked part time as a security guard at a scrap yard. One day they had an boat in to cut up . When doing the rounds i saw smoke coming from the planking on the boat in a few minutes it burst into flames, I put it out with fire extinguisher. It seems a cutting torch was being used and a spark had smoulder under the decking. They had finished two days ago as it was a weekend.

Looks amazing guys, fairplay too you👌👍

Looks absolutely awesome. I've been watching you from the start. it's an epic amazing journey you are on. Tiny bit of advice to make your life a bit easier. Take shallower cuts with the router.

So glad to see you both beaming ...

just a quick one,take less out of the cut when using a router, a few mill at a time is best,saves the cutting edge on the bit as well,keep up the good work

Make sure to empty the vacuum cleaner before you leave the boat vacant. A smouldering ember can be fanned into flames, fed by the oxygen sucked in, then spread slowly after the machine is switched off, eventually bursting into flames hours later.

If it's for only wood it's a rasp....if it's the coursist metal file it's balled a hand Bast@@d or Bast@@d cut file.. and they are usually flat on both faces though you can have half round and round or rat tailed one's.

Seeing the progress you two are making, have you thought about the number of animals you are going to take onboard when you sail...? lol I honestly can see how building a ship (boat) can get very solid with the number of beams, board and braces that are required. Thumbs Up!

a little tip noel if simon made a half cut he would not have any thing to rest the base of the router for the second or maybe a third cut so the only option was a single cut without making a elaborate jig if he ruins a couple of router bits so be it the price you have to pay building a boat

Outstanding job again.

Great video thank for sharing all the best and keep up the great work both 👍

Looking great!

Keep up the great work! Very entertaining...I am waiting for your next post!

Awesome , great job.

really enjoyed this one well done amazing job

Simon, I know it's too late for these cut outs, but you really should make shallower cuts with the router, maybe do the cuts in two passes. Me personally, I'd do it in 3.

I was going to say it needs a bit of distress so it doesn't look like new, then you two said the same. Looking forward to seeing the ply on then her lines will jump out at us. Take care out there.

Could you get a couple smaller tarps to put below to catch the saw dust

The peal ply stops that HAZE that forms on fiberglass as it cures that must be sanded off prior to the subsequent layer being added.

You guys are so much perfectionist. So much for thought 👏🇺🇸

As part of your firewatch regime, don't forget to empty that hoover too. That sawdust can smolder in there also. Peace guys.

I bet you’re already ahead of me on this but many fires are caused by wood dust in a vacuum cleaner, hope it gets cleaned out regularly. Beams are looking great.
