468. Installing new hatches on the narrowboat with an ECOFLOW DELTA PRO

[@MrMickjbriggs]

People like Graham restore your faith in humanity. Well done Sir!

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

The skill of the guy. And what a kind gesture. Massive respect✊ I really hope he gets some work via this - I’m sure he will. Thanks for sharing the video, much appreciated as always. 🙂🐿🌈❤️

[@Bee-ih5uy]

I could not have said this better myself - Graham did an amazing job! It looks really good, James!

[@chrishope9896]

By the end I was so relaxed, yet homesick at the same time - a weird combination. in essence, I loved it, I just wish it had been longer.🥰

[@Cat-ni6fm]

What a beautiful hatch Graham created for you and Project 58!

[@davidcook380]

Graham , TOP MAN

[@catherine3902]

Fantastic James! 😊Great to have people like Graham to help you and transform the boat 😊. Keep safe and well 👍

[@wayne7521]

Looking good pal, looking good , great transformation !!

[@Elle-kr8od]

Laughed out loud at the "master class in heath & safety". The canals seem full of generous people. Otherwise known as "what goes around comes around". Satisfying all around!

[@glennpeters7384]

Top man Graham. There are some great people out there. Looking good james.

[@sarahobes2758]

Wow! Well done Graham, that looks fab!

[@UlivoItalianRestaurantandBar]

Such a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work - kudos to Graham for his generosity...and makes everyone's day here on the channel that bit brighter too - generous gestures that spread far.

[@garyneilson1833]

What a difference the hatch makes, great job by Graham

[@sirenda926]

Amazing job. That EcoFlow is something else.

[@suecox2308]

That looks amazing--well done Graham!

[@JackNance22]

Thank goodness for people like Graham. What a great episode, cheers!

[@mishkawp8200]

Wow, Graham…what a Legend! ⭐️

[@TheUncleRuckus]

The hatch looks AMAZING!! James, now you need to have Graham build you another hatch just like it to replace the other hatch on the other side so it will match. I'd say with two hatches like that and the portholes that the boat is going to look wicked when all said and done. 👍👍

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Thanks to the Graham's of the world. Lovely hatch James. 😊

[@Acapulc941]

Awesome job, St Graham! I am so impressed with his skill and for him to gift that to you....WOW WOW WOW! Well done to all three of you. Looking so good. Leigh

[@dellyboot2703]

Wow! Fabulous job Graham, they make a huge difference and are so elegant.

[@kevinmartin3859]

Graham did lovely job of hatch the amount of light coming in is brilliant what a professional job well done Graham see you next James

[@KissedSomeFrogs]

Amazing! I am almost as impressed with the Eco Flow as I am with Graham's fabrication and welding skills!

[@jimm7165]

EcoFlow had better be taking real good care of you. You're the biggest brand ambassador there is. You show their product being used for EVERYTHING!

[@malchall1029]

What a massive transformation. It should be known now as the 'Graham's Hatch' :)

[@jeanniehyde8090]

Graham you’re a Top bloke, great skills and extremely generous. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I’m sure other narrow boaters will want to use you, as you’re portable. Well done James you’re a good man . All the best for the school summer break 🤗

[@ssliberte]

That is a First Class job, nice vision on that

[@sandyprosser805]

Great video James that boat is going to a humdinger, Grahame did an excellent job. Have great week 😊

[@stewartscales1564]

Wow what a transformation, it really has improved the look of the boat. Well done Graham such skill should be admired.

[@oneshoan]

You are one lucky man and I’m thrilled for you!!! Graham is a legend in my book!

[@PhilHonour-zz5mc]

I noticed you had barrier curtains up to protect Joe public 😅😅😅😅from grinding and arc eye another accident waiting to happen

[@TairnKA]

Looks great. I have a feeling EcoFlow got a new customer, no salesman needed, it sells itself. ;-)

[@TheElectronMan]

Wow Graham you have amazing skills, mind that is outside with a boat sitting on the water hats off mate...

[@kenmackenzie7338]

A nice bit of UK craftsmanship 👌

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

Wow what a generous guy. Look fantastic. Excellent !

[@allanxxx8789]

Great job done there....At least you could do the job. I remember Having a similar job done last summer, and it was by a pub, The landlord came out and told both me and the guy welding and grinding to clear off. We were upsetting his customers, also he recons the arc light and sparks right on the path was worrying his customers. He said I could choose ...1 Stop and go to a more suitable place or 2 Have the welding gear and generator dunked in the canal. He did have have two dirty big blokes with him, so we took option 1...

[@sarkybugger5009]

Looks good, James. Cheers, Graham.

[@sarkybugger5009]

@@IDKline Frankly, I can't be arsed with trying to keep up with Google's changes. I _was_ SarkyBugger before, then they changed it... Fưck 'em!

[@flysteve100]

That was very entertaining and educational, thanks James.

[@PhilHonour-zz5mc]

Very educational about HSE 😅😅😅😅

[@beverleybutler7685]

Well done that hatch fixer!! 🤗

[@mungmungie]

Nice job by Graham--the hatch looks wonderful! As soon as I saw the design of the side hatch doors, I immediately thought of interior sliding shutters. They would give you privacy when you need it, as well as allow reflected light in when the sun was directly on the boat from that side. I suppose they could even have a bug screen on the outside.

[@rickonnye2001]

Nice job from Graham😊good video 😊thank you

[@salcombebunker1800]

Crikey Graham is a really amazing craftsman. Chris in Devon.

[@jetblack6953]

Fascinating to watch.

[@andrewwheeler2599]

Awesome in all respects... Cheers to all.

[@MajorTnarg]

Great work on that hatch

[@Theandyaston]

Hatch looks amazing James 👍🏻

[@user-s1o3nr532]

Makes a huge difference - really nice job.

amazing- looks great

[@MarcelEling]

Looking great👍

[@kelvinhealey9907]

looks great James , lovely job

[@NarrowboatWill]

My god that cordless grinder is really handy. Great job rippers.

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌❤️🇨🇦, the Eco Flow Pro is a great unit, I am thinking that the reason that Graham noticed the difference between the Eco Flow and the current his generator was giving out, is because the Eco Flow has a true sine inverter built in, not too an generators have that, just my 2 cents worth, Most generators do not produce a clean current and will fluctuate under load, that would make a difference to the mig welder and the ease of use

[@phenogen8125]

Most gensets for welders (combo units) do make a square wave but should not fluctuate under such low amp loads unless undersized. I have no issues with my Miller Bobcat mobile rig and tiny stuff like that but have never tried any such battery inverter packs. Inverters used above 50% continuous rating will fail prematurely and peak load is at best 80% of the rating in my experience. Most of those died replete with smoke and flames might be salient info to bear in mind.

[@marinussnijder7941]

Have you asked Graham for an estimate/advise on the rear portholes you had planed? As we all have seen he is top notch 👍

[@VictorVictor-hq7ui]

Eye protection Graham. Every time you cut or grind. Speaking from painful experience as i too used to be a clown. 👍

[@phenogen8125]

Oh dear; no gloves and exposed arms: not the right safety regime for potential spatter and the ultra high UV and really should have used screens as well to prevent anyone inc pets looking at the arc. Nice result and bound to create some business. Good advertising for the EcoFlo as well. Win win all round.

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌❤️🇨🇦, totally awesome

[@rhettbutler289]

Love the guys ear defenders lol

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

GOOD VID

[@PinkLittleElephant]

Impressive hatch. Are you thinking of putting on some kind of latch to keep the open hatch doors flush against the side of the boat?

[@EnchantedEarthSounds]

Looks nice what about weather stripping against draft

[@StormwatchDruid]

Health and safety written by suits in offices who probably would be offended if you farted in their general direction, meanwhile on the cut, a craftsman who knows what he is doing and doesn't need the suits patronising him, was a bit iffy though lol, but he still has his fingers and no one got electrocuted. That ecoflow did the job though. I know we love 'em but sometimes it just needs to be said, bloody kids. lol hope they are happy in themselves and are doing well and enjoying the Summer holidays. Made a note of Graham's contact details and going to get a hatch, just the small matter of getting a boat to put it in.

[@PhilHonour-zz5mc]

Yes against HSE No safety curtains for the public. I don’t care about the welder getting hurt It would be his own fault 😮 😅😅😅

[@chevyimp5857]

No screens in a public area right in the centre of berko with all that hot work is pushing it.. public liability insurance? Decent job though

[@gillgregory6327]

I bet the pub owner wasn’t too pleased with all that going on next to the beer garden either!😮

[@PhilHonour-zz5mc]

Yeah Captain Haddock has no idea about health and safety He’s a chancer and his time will come Big Time Mark my words He’s only got a couple of lives left And the funny thing He shows it on the internet

[@1258-Eckhart]

James, just an idea - you don't really have to turn Project 58 around, if it's not too far and in a straight line, you could tow her backwards to the new mooring with either Sloe Patrol or Serafina. Project 58 would be a rudderless butty.

[@juliedrake9254]

He is supposed to move both boats every 14 days at a distance of at least 1 kilometre and travel from point A to point B then to point C and so on unfortunately James tends to go from point A then to B then back to A not quite in the spirit of the crt rules on constant cruising but good luck if he gets away with it

[@rich1jd]

Quality, just worried the glass would have splatter from welder, I though glass needed to be protected while welding as the mig splatter can burn in to glass ?

[@TheSmudgley]

Do you have to put any rubber gasket around the window for drafts

[@Dore60]

👍

[@NarrowboatWill]

I want Evo Flo but can't afford one. 😭😭

[@hmarc417]

I am going to take a wild guess and say that the delta sine-wave is smoother then the His genset power. Is His genset a pure sine, ? if not maybe it is time for an upgrade to His portability. Just sayin, cause He said that the delta gave a better more consistent weld. The difference in sine-waves might be the key.. and BTW CCHHEERRSSSSS

[@enniscorthyboy]

Another freebee!!

[@adidasmanuk]

Your comment is more insulting to Graham who kindly offered a gift.alsi so you would say no would you ? After building up a channel & spending all the extra time it takes to film & edit a channel

[@ruaidhrikathygill8833]

It looks great James., and I am guessing gives you a morale boost to see how nice it can look. Graham did a great job, what a nice man. EcoFlow did great. Thanks for sharing the video, loved the slow motion. 😊🤗 Kathy

[@steveb5584]

Is there no rubber seals on the windows ?

Why are you have your tin of paint open just go round the inside where the bare metal is

Wow. that looks amazing! well done Graham!
