Awesome little ship. Cheers

Terrific music choices to go with an always fun vid. Thank you.

She's looking fine!

My wife is NOT a boat builder ... but by the Grace of God, she is an angel from Heaven when it comes to mixing epoxy!

It’s hard to tell l for sure with the camera distortion but it might be worth taking a look at the sheer line near the bow. It might need knocking down a little bit to keep it Eyesweet. I had to do that with my traditional build. Someone picked it up on mine and recommended I fix it or it would bug me forever. Best advice I got! Love the transom emulating hereschoffs brilliance. “Eyesweet” don’t worry about the plans! Cheers Chris from Tasmania.

That’s going to be a sweet looking little tender. Nice work and greetings from Tasmania. Chris

3:34 time to break out the plank stretcher! all kidding aside, your carpentry skills and attention to detail are on-point, this is a master-class in hand-building a dinghy, thank you for the entertainment and the education

Nice job on the dinghy! What's with the haircut, man? Sick of getting epoxy in your hair?

Here in Australia the seams are covered on the inside with fibreglass tape and epoxy.

Hi, cool boat, well done!)😊

Watching Garret do his thing is so enjoyable. An artist, craftsman, a boat builder. Its like watching a famous painter from the 1800's creating a masterpiece right before your eyes. He has so much patience. Has he always been so calm and cool?. It is addictive. Thanks for sharing. Alan from NC

Garrett’s had a hair cut! Nice! 👍 Awesome work on little red! 👏👏

Garrett! Beautiful work,Sir!! Good job!! I wish blessend times with a boatbilt!!! And everything good for you guys,lovely team!!❤️👌👍☺️✌️🌻☀️🇫🇮✴️🍀

Looking good, both the boat and Garret! ✂️✂️😊

thanks for making...

Nice job...and a hair cut for Garrett to boot! Claudie/Texas

I wonder if you should have a aluminum or tin wear strip down the center

Garrett, hair cut !! beard trim !! Looking sharp

👍👍👍

Garrett cut his hair????? 😢

Another educational and inspiring video! I do wish I had Garrett's patience and attention to detail. My constructions always seem a little rustic, but indeed strong!

I especially liked the close-in shots showing the fine details of Garret glueing up the seams. Fascinating to see things up close.

It's like watching an artist at work, amazing. ❤

Why do you choose that style of glass rather than a chopped strand for a first application on wood?

Great job on the build of little Red! she's coming along nicely! Also love Garrett's interaction with the Bird! How Cool! Take care you two, and thank you for sharing!

Little Red looks fantastic so far. I gather you're gonna do a double layer of glass on the exterior, and another two ply of glass for the inside area. You're gonna ship her down to Mexico, jump on a plane, and be ready to receive L' Red when she arrives, right? ..Seems the simplest method to me - beats any other options from where I'm watching it come nicely together. I imagine when you're physically in harbor (wherever) or moored close to a harbor, L' Red will live in the davits, to avoid procurement by unauthorized scavengers. Best of luck..hope you're planning to head to South America, Caribbean, or out into the Pacific next, but ocean crossing might be tough with only a crew of two. You may have to pick up another shipmate somewhere along the way. Happy sailing!

Watching Garrett with the Thixo and the board reminds me of an artist with his palette. Superb !

Carbon fibre would’ve been cool

Didn't the instructions tell you about wetting out the wood before applying the glass? The wood is very porous, and will suck up the resin as it's curing , leaving with what is called Dry-bond. Not noticeable at first, but will delam over time. it can often in the early stages by seeing bubbles and lifting.

Hola Ruth & Garret, de nuevo os felicito por el excelente vídeo, muy terapeútico y lleno de relax. En cuanto al dingui... los más buenos y caros perfumes se envasan en frascos pequeños, siendo éstos muy bellos, duraderos y de cristal de roca, tal como terminará vuestro proyecto. Specials regards from Sevilla, South Spain, Andalucía💃🇪🇸🥂

Team Scrub, all the way!

Lookin good

Just realized there's not a slot for the daggerboard, not needed for this type of sailing dingy? Or do you cut it in later? Anyways, I enjoy watching the stitch & glue method. Getter done!!

where has your hair gone Garrett.??

This was a great progress episode. I totally thought you were going to go and float it. Glad you didn’t. LOL. Keep up the great work. This project inspired another project for me refurbishing a 1960’s apache fibreglass 2 station row boat. Has a cement keel, (has rotted) and many holes through fibreglass… Your ambition for project is contagious, I swear.

"But you will, anyway." 😀

NICE! 'glassin' yer tender, smokin' meat 'til it's tender, outstretching yer hand, as a bird trusts how yer tender, yer 7 times 70 more gooder than i *Mighty* Garrett. Well Done. 🙏🦉

Looking good. 😊

Great job guys

Take off your hat so we have a better look.

The name for this new boat should be Bossie the cow.

You look so nice and clean with your hair cut ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤, I love it.

I use rebar tie wire and it is steel. When you untie the wire cut one side close and leave the other end long. Get a car battery with a jumper cable. Beat a large size copper tubing flat. Place these short copper plates on the end of the jumper cables. When you tap these plates across the wire the wire begins smoking then pull the hot wire out of the epoxy. Steel is better than copper because it is stronger than copper and can be twisted tighter. Use safety glasses.

That's a good decision. None of the clear finishes provide UV protection like even the cheapest paint.

It ain' a dory... but it's hunky! Nice lines and shape on that design.

What a beautiful job

Looking really good ! Maybe its a guy thing on projects; some things just have to be so. I do that a lot. Coming together really good.

Nice work! I expect you are already done with the fillets, but there is one thing that you could do to lessen the amount of sanding. When the thickened epoxy starts to gel and firm up, dip a gloved finger into denatured alcohol and use it to smooth out and clean up the thickened epoxy. Since you are using Thixo it might not be as necessary, but still a good tip to have in the toolbox.

Love this boat build series. I was surprised that you did not wet the hull with epoxy before laying the glass down. Why?
