@_Ag- Ya 😅, that's a wild fox that came to investigate. Didn't even notice him walking up, just looked up and he was sitting watching me

@@MrBrnrdy Amazing! I’ve never seen a living fox (moving around, not a drawing or photo), and somehow I pictured them way smaller. Your helper looked coyote-sized with really long legs. So cool! Thanks for including your interactions in the vid. Made me smile. And your hot tub deck project came together so well. Hope you’ve been enjoying it out there! 🛁

😅😅. No issues with rubbing, once the tub is full and inflated, it doesn't move much. One fault is with having it elevated off the ground, I probably underestimated the sheer weight of the water when full. The plywood has dipped in between each frame slightly. It doesn't affect it much overall, but if I were to change something, I would reinforce the base. Of course, most people would probably be able to leave the tub on the ground and build the frame around it. I only elevated mine to take advantage of the extra space on top of the wall in our garden.

@@MrBrnrdyit is indeed really heavily once filled, around 1200kg.

Off the top of my head it was 2.5 metres × 2.5 metres (approx 8ft × 8ft). I checked what lengths the ship lap cladding came in and built the frame to a size that would maximise the cladding without any waste.

About 4 inch pipe seems best, anything smaller would choke the flames with backed up smoke

Hi, I used a fluxed core wire in a mig welder on this stove. As far as I know you could use an arc welder to do the job also. I am only a beginner level welder practising for fun though. Maybe someone with more welding experience could offer advice here?

Thanks 👍 look good mate

@@jaiwright6461 thanks 👍

I still have some bits from the ship in my shed, the intention is to make some sort of display, maybe a deep box frame with a picture of the ship and its name alongside the "souvenirs". I also have a rocker cover from a generator and a fire extinguisher that I thought would look good.

@@MrBrnrdy That seems like a good idea, i know sometimes people dont like others taking items but if your going to put a good use to them as you are then i think its a good thoughtful idea to remember the ship. do you have a facebook account so once you have done it you can share?

I agree about taking things normally, but this being a ship stranded on rocks slowly disintegrating and polluting the ocean with debris I'd rather take it and put it to use. I'm on Facebook and Instagram as Ivan Stilwell. I'll probably do a video or post when I do eventually get around to doing it

@@MrBrnrdy ok cool, i will add you on there...

I have considered adding insulation as an extra heat saver because we live in Ireland so not many warm days here. I think it could be a good way to save energy and heat, not sure what to use yet though

I used pressure treated timber which is specifically for outdoor use. I would recommend speaking to your supplier for best advice, I explained what I was planning to do and they recommend the best timber. The paneling I used is pressure treated ship lap, the timber frame is pressure treated 2 inch × 4 inch and timber decking boards for the floor. Underneath the hot tub is plywood sheeting, it needs to be thick and well supported to hold the weight of the water without flexing too much.

Inniscarra dam to cobh is a long run, fairplay, I'd say it was brilliant. The tunnel is worth a look but not the safest thing to go inside so be careful 😅.

@@MrBrnrdy ya I’ll watch the tides with that tunnel I’ll definitely have to look at it anyones 🤣 Yuo was a good oul treck alri started at 6am and had my food and water for the trip good weather I had aswell blessed✅ was going to do mallow to Fermoy in the next week or 2 be a good one aswell ✅ I subbed to the channel aswell 👍

@@Rashers- unreal, best of luck with that one sounds like another good plan. Thanks for subscribing 👌

​@RASHERS Can you remember how long it took from the dam yo Cobh?

@@Jay369 alri lad I did it over 2 days day 1 innascara dam to Blackrock castle I’m sure that took me 6 hours I’d stops along the way and had a few obstacles yano…day 2 Blackrock castle to Cobh was like 5 hours but the current was killing me..hopefully next few weeks I’ll do mallow to Fermoy I think take about 6 hours…

Thanks for the feedback. When I get better at building them maybe I can talk through what worked well or not for me.

I seen they just recently demolished them all, a pity to see them go

@@MrBrnrdy grazie mille

Sounds good, I think 3 to 4 inches is about right to get it burning nicely. I originally done this with only one exhaust and it was choking up with smoke so I added a second and it worked much better.

Since this was my first time ever making something like this and I was completely winging it as I went along I don't think there's much for anyone to copy 😅😅, more of video of "what I done" than a "how to" video.

This model came out in 1969 and stopped production in 1971.

or it was abandoned after illegal bussines..

Would that make this pre 1967?

@@MrBrnrdy or just 1967

Interesting, thanks for the info

This model was made between 1969 and 1971

😅😅

Unfortunately the fire damage was caused months after it ran aground on the rocks, I'm assuming someone set it on fire by mistake or on purpose while exploring the ship.
