amazing Ross

Hi Roscoe- big chunks of progress coming together right now through the magic of editing. Amazing effort and it is looking good.😀👍⛵️

must say for someone who is not a regular woodworker thoose dorrd and the cabinet edging looks very good.

It's kind of amazing to see the progress.

Those cabinet and draw facings look really professional, Ross. Great stuff!

Incredible job!

The finishings make her look awesome. It looks amazing

Doors and drawers looking good there Ross. Hope it all got the Sue seal of approval.

It is coming together and look fantastic!

Fantastic to see how fast things are going ! You’ll be having a beer on the water on this ship in no time !

Hello Rossco... It probably felt really gooooood to get all those doors hanging in place.

Beautyful, it really starts looking like aboat ready for the water. Take care All the best.

I’m trying to sand, prime and paint the eaves of my house and it’s kicking my butt. I think of you and it helps me push on.

I am always amazed that you built this from scratch. I am so impressed. Incredible!

The finish is looking great 👍🏻

Well you got two of them now god help you mate but the wood work is looking really good what hinges are you going to use ?

We just 'a door' your work. Stowage is always at a premium on a sailboat as 'stuff' will expand to fill every available space, no matter how big! I removed the cabinet knobs because they were always snagging our clothes as we shimmied by, Brass 'Clam Shell' pulls worked out much better... 🤟

Being a cabinet maker most of my life my question about the door inserts once you add the clear coat will you have the clearance you need and seeing how ive never worked with Australian oak will it swell in a humid or wet environment where the doors will stick or worse not be able to open or close them. I know in our wet environment here in oregon u.s.a. i have to completely seal all surfaces of the wood or our oak will swell from just the humidity of the air. I learned the hard way not to make my cabinet doors or even drawers to tight until i left enough room for the wood swelling from humidity or moisture in a damp environment. A couple coats of a good wood sealer thats had time to soak into the wood even on the surface you wont see and sanded off is good insurance against the possibility the wood may swell once its exposed to high humidity or wet damp weather.

Looks great,my only concern would be those sharp corners on the wood top at the first of the video. It wont be a problem for adults if they bang into the corner but being a great grandfather with a couple little guys that dont know the meaning of walking they run every where id be afraid of one of them whacking thier forehead into one of those sharp corners. I guess if youve got rambunctious little ones on board you could make a bumper or pad to cover the corners while they are running about the boat.

Won’t be long now! Excited to see the rigging!

Good episode Ross Good work on the beena tree Glad you think the boat will be finished once it's on the water. Nothing like being optimistic.

Like a true carpenter, kick it into place. Ross, she looks great. Good job!

Looking awesome! So nice to see the humble 20c piece being used in our cashless society! 😅

Beautiful. Simply…. 💯

Hi Ross , up here in Queensland there’s a place called Canungra. There are heaps of platypus. I go out there quite a few times and watch them. You have to be absolutely quiet and you can watch them. Looking around for food it’s so incredible anyway keep up the good work. Good to see your sister-in-law has come to Australia. Hope she enjoys it while she’s here goes home and tells people what a wonderful country Australia is , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

Why didn’t you use screws and plugs to attach the trim? You know you’re gonna have to take it back off at some point. Epoxy will make that horribly destructive IMO.

Does that boat really need more fertilizer?

Looks so good

A lot of prep work , then put the frames and doors in , and you’ve almost finished in an instant 😃🍻

Do yourself a favour and start calling timber "pre-formed low-density carbon fibre".

Very nice woodwork for a sticky boat captain. 😅

Is that a light I see at the end of this tunnel?

More fabulous detail work !

For a boat builder you make a hell of a good carpenter, keep up the great work, Ross

Ross - I must ask why you haven't rounded the corners with a 1/4" router bit, for example, to remove the sharp edge.

All Hail the Algorithim. (AHTA)👍👍👍

Top stuff Ross and Janet ⛵️

Well done Ross, do you think the YT critics and whiners, have made you set yourself a higher standard of build than you may have had if you didn't have YT watching over every FU? 🤣🤣

Please don’t use silicone sealant on your nice woodwork!!! Use epoxy. Once you use silicone nothing else will adhere, ever!!!!

Will you be installing a lock mechanism for sea state variances on the doors?

Noice

Fabulous creature the Platypus, good to hear they are being protected.
