Salt & Tar: Ep.132- How Do You Steer That Thing?
This is a Ruth-less episode... I'm out of town with my niece so Garrett tackles come solo projects AND does all the filming! He focuses on the boat's steerage. He shapes and mounts the rudder cheeks as well as transforms an old tiller, donated by a follower, into being the perfect helm for Rediviva. His goal was to be able to properly pilot ourselves to the haul-out dock. Under our own power and steering with a legitimate tiller we succeed! Stay tuned next week when we beach this ship.
Thanks for watching!

Seeing that tiller go on gave me a big smile. Finally. :) :) May it give your many Miles of happiness. So glad I could be a small part.
It just keeps getting better! Garrett, thanks for letting us watch you work. I’m always interested in what you are doing and how you do it.
I really dig the contrast that the walnut gave to the tiller. Getting that bit of walnut was meant to be.
Nice to see your OCD hasn't declined over time. You still don't cut corners. At least in my eyes. Nice work. All your labor will make your sailing that much rewarding.
Looking good, under her own power is a huge milestone! Congratulations!
You have a beautiful boat, now you need to enjoy her as much as you enjoyed building her. May your sail alway fill with fair winds.
Lmafoo, needed that giggle!! Your dreams now a reality an after all both of your hard work.... It's an amazing beautiful wooden sailboat...... Just stunning!!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️
That tiller looks absolutely beautiful. Well done
I'm an old guy and I have been constantly impressed and motivated by your videos. If only all craftsmen took the same pride in their work.

Love the boat, love following both of you. I know you must be a tiller person. But being an old fat man I like my wheel helm and a place to park my butt while driving. 😁
Waa waa waa. Badum bum. Lol. Tiller looks awesome Garrett.
Well done Garrett. Looking forward to next week haul out. I hope you and Ruth have a great week. 👍⛵️🏝
"Just a little wave." 🖐👋 LOL. There is no way that was 17 1/2 minutes. It went by much too quickly. Man, that tiller cleaned up so beautifully. Any wax/grease on the mating surfaces between the tiller and rudder? Moving under her own power to the haul-out dock... man, that has to be an awesome feeling to not be tug-boating her with the inflatable tender. CONGRATS! Haul-out, get her pressure washed, dried, painted, let the paint dry, and back in the water in roughly 60 hours, that's a lot of gettin'-er-done in rapid fasion. Hope the weather cooperated with you guys for the haul-out. See you next week. 😎🤙🤘✌🖖💪👏👏👏👍😉
I like the new start. And I’m glad you kept the “your coming too” bit. 😊❤️
Thank you. You always enhance my calm.
🖐️ Just a little wave!! 🤣 Tiller handle is a 10. Nice work....
Another step closer to getting out there in the deep blue sea... ☀️🌴👣🍷
Congratulations on taking your beautiful liittle ship out under her own power. Magnificent accomplishment!
I have never understood why you guys dont have 100 - 300 thousand followers. I look forward to this every week. I found you when you were at episode 102. Two weks ago I watched your show from Episode 1. Great job guys.

Seriously, it's an excellent channel and if someone hasn't followed from the beginning there is a ton of addictive binge watching right there. Seeing them build the boat from scratch is fascinating, and there's something incredibly personal and endearing about the process. Even though I obviously wasn't involved in the build, I have this strange attachment to Rediviva because i've seen how she's all put together. It also sets this channel apart from the plethora of other boat DIY channels that exist. I'm totally cool with boat DIY, I follow a stack of those channels, but S&T is in a whole other league.

The rudder and new handle looks amazing .
Things are really getting exciting after such a long journey the end is ooh so close. Stay Safe and happy sailing.
Stopped by today, made a 805 stop at the marina market but not a soul home. Had to head back to Tiki Lagun (delta). Take care of yourselves.....what a winning team! Ancient Mariner.....
Nice work on the cheeks and tiller Garrett. You know what they say "Every beautiful lady needs a nice set of cheeks on her aft end." A friend told me that-lol. Take care guys and have a great week ahead.

Thanks for your ever prompt videos. You could be in water before me. GO For It
When you started it, what, 5 years ago ? I questionned myself " Why an all wood boat ??" Now I know. Rediviva looks awesome ! All those "soup" coats Ruthie applied give her such a warm, deep color ! Congrat boy & girl ! Can't wait to see her on the waves, all sails out ! 😍
Soooooo excited for your adventures. Thank you for sharing
Closer and closer!!
So great to see Garrett so motivated again and getting projects finished! The joy of getting goals accomplished is a great motivator in of itself! You will be sailing in no time, keep up the great work!
Have you considered putting a bronze bushing through the rudder cheeks and the tiller to help prevent wear on the wood caused by the through bolt?
Build another rudder and take it with you. Use extra rudder as shelf or bench. Sweet tiller.
I am so proud of you two for sticking with it. Redaviva looks amazing. I can hardly wait until you hoist her new sails for the first time. I like watching how you two work together and take your time over those speed bumps. Ruth you do an amazing job on all the videos.
Great job guys. We loved the joke👋😁
Hardly seems like she needs the paint topside, but guess you have to take advantage of the opportunity ! New/Old Tiller looks good with darker contrasting wood on cheeks Garrett !
What a Ruth'les episode
When I was learning how to sail my gaff ketch, I found that the most effective method was by adjusting the jib and mizzen, thereby moving the centre of effort. The rudder was of very secondary importance.
Dang that tiller is sweet.
Super. Tiller revived.
The ol' pirate were explainin' to the cabin boy how he came to wear an eye patch.... "I looked up and sawr somethin wavin in the yarrd arm and as I were a gull flew over and dropped something in me eye." "And you lost your eye for that?" questioned the boy. "Aye. It were my first day with the hook, don'cha know!"

The 'real' reason for the eye patch, was from taking a noon position using a sextant.
Garrett's commitment to perfection of his work is amazing to watch. Great flow to this video, and the excitement of coming adventures is thick in the air. Thanks for sharing. I think we are all on the edge of our seats waiting to see whats next 😊
I like your boat very much. Looks beautiful.
Ok lil Red. Turn ya head an cough... 😂 I can only imagine how proud you guys were to motor around on your own! It's ALIVE!!! 😎
Looks great Garrett
scrap the rudder and make it in the rudder cheeks style👍
Cool to see your haul out company.

You can resharpen multi-tool blades with a triangle file, a bit of effort but better than buying new ones 🤙⛵️🍻
Pretty cool to have two craftsmen like Garrett and Teal in the same yard...my inner DIY geek is satisfied
Big milestone coming up thanks for another great video!
I can't wait to see you guys sail!
Lovely work as usual Garrett. Ruthie that joke was terrible, well done lol
LOVE the new intro!

I found you via Onboard Lifestyle going back to watch the start of the build the boat looks wonderful good luck
Just great !
I hope you will carry a spare tiller when you are at sea. Does not matter what it looks like, it just needs to function.
I like the new intro! Short and Sweet! I do have to mention that you can not sand anything UP! You stand things Down! 🤣 I look forward to your videos the two of you work so well together! 😁🛫
Garret is a true woodcrafter! Such wonderful things he does gives the finished item look so very rich!
Great video Garrett.
I could and would watch your videos if they were hour long episodes. I can’t wait for Thursday’s. Please do one (on a down week) on background of all three of you. We all want to know more! Hi Swab
I’m glad I don’t have to record video of all the work I do on projects while my wife is out of town for her to pour over and try to make look good whenever she leaves. That’s a lot of pressure. Great work on a tiller. Aren’t you going to need a windlass pretty soon?
Nice job again, looking great. And hauling out next to "Onboard Lifestyle" who are another great crew I follow. anyway I digress the boat is looking great Garrett cannot wait to see it under sails, and I'm sure Ruth will make up her work load on her return from skipping off haha.

Loved the pun
I think I'm as excited as you are to see the boat being propelled under it's own power! Watching this boat get built has been very enjoyable and it's motivated me in many ways to work on projects to completion. My garage was a disaster for years and now it's looking pretty good. You really have accomplished more than just building a boat. Thank you so much!
I would like to see two thick bronze reinforcing fender washers on the outside of the rudder cheeks to help hold it together over the tiller... That rudder head in a seaway is constantly stressed back and forth and in a knock-down can hugely stress the the small washers now on it... Just a thought - maybe a couple of bronze plates in the 3"-7" class, say 1/4" thick?
Hey Ruthie , try some cross channel mischief ? / yell "thickened epoxy" next door to On Board Lifestyle and see if you can make Lynh take a "shot" ;-) ;-)
Nice work man, it looks real good!
Garrett did a fine job filming, perhaps because there was no pretty girl to distract him. That tiller look like it wants a fine piece of marlinspike knotwork on it. (I would be happy to help if you end up in my neck of the woods (midcoast Maine, just up river from your sailmakers) at some point.)
Каждый четверг жду с нетерпением, так как выйдет новый ваш эпизод. Спасибо жду с нетерпением второго сезона - на воде )
Har, Mattee yah be need'n a Parrot and Ships Bell, fer dem foggy days ahead Eye heh?
Hey! New intro! Like it!
The "hock a loogie" episode!
The xtra videos are nice I love getting to spend more time with you 2! Great job on those cheeks. Missed Ruth. I hope shes feeling alright. Arent you concerned about delamination of the fiberglass after the bare wood becomes saturated over months & or years?
Hola chicos! casi me adelanto y señalo ese error de la caña (zona del dado) y tu lo corregiste inmediatamente! bravo han hecho un buen trabajo; tienen toda mi admiración. Los sigo desde Buenos Aires. Abrazos!!!! Gino
"Our Girl" Closer and closer Rediviva is revealed time to set her sails God speed Garrett and Ruth ...
Really fun to see Garth do an episode all on his own. There was a lot of good content. That's not to say I didn't miss Ruth.
Cute!
You guys are my favorite boat building vlog. Can't wait to see you guys start sailing her.
Finally the Tiller is done ;) I was looking forward to see it for a long long time. Good work !
The person who gave you the tiller must be elated to see it installed. So good to see Rediviva move on her own. What a milestone!?
You do nice work
to cool
Thanks Ruth, another great one!!! I always start my Thursdays with you three!!!
Wow fantastic ! What an adventure this has been for all of us!
She looks great both in and out of the water. Good job! Have a safe and blessed week.
The boat looks nice . I like wood
Loving the new intro......So to reply back to it...Thank you for sharing this whole experience with us! It’s nice to have a real show that I can invest my time into, and it feels like gaining friends as well💯 you guys are amazing and a inspiration. Ok, back to the episode😉🤣
i love you two. surprised garret did the scrape and varnish part... I thought that was ruthie's happy time. I'm sure once you go out to sea you'll be bringing plenty of soup and brushes. if you spill some chicken soup or something on the deck sometime, maybe swab can do his damn job for once. I once had a lab, RIP, that changed our whole cooking and composting routine in the kitchen. just throw the carrot heads and tips etc (no onion of course) as you go and see if they even hit the floor. we didn't have to mop for 9 years. dig the marilyn monroe with a strong beard look halfway through... heh. gotta love tar if you're salt and tar. thanks for taking my mind off things again. it's something I look forward to.
