Funny to hear you guys have been watching selling over and talking to them about their galley rebuilding. I have so enjoyed watching both of you do the same thing and such different ways. You're even talking about using the same counter material. but no man's Sky spent half an episode showing us how they were taking a router to it and working with the material. I love watching you to do the DIY on this sailboat and on your last. I must say this is what interests me about owning a boat right now. All that you can do with it, and you two seem to do a lot. please keep up the interesting videos and good luck with your sailboat

[@LearningtheLines]

Thank you very much! We've gotten mixed reviews on how much to show versus tell. Hard to please everyone. Are you saying that you liked No Man's Sky going into that much detail?

good job u all loving the show thanks for sharing

[@LearningtheLines]

Thank you very much!

[@floydgraves3997]

Wow!!! As a wood worker I can't imagine putting any wood on a boat without sealing all sides and edges FIRST. On a boat I would even seal the the edges and fill the voids and holes with thicken epoxy. Yes this will take a little extra time but you don't have to carry it as far as they did on Lea Lea sailboat (see their refit where everything was stained, sealed with epoxy, then 3-4 coats of varnish BEFORE installing in the boat ...all done in the cold of Alaska). Yes maybe 2 coats of epoxy to seal ALL sides and edges would prevent moisture from soaking into the wood and mold growing in places you can't see or get to latter. ALSO you are attaching to existing fiberglass cabinetry that is a part of the structure and strength of the boat. By tabbing and fiberglassing the plywood to the existing might prevent creaking and squeaky in the future as the boat wants to twist in heavy weather. I hope you won't regret taking these short cuts and it may not be to late to do some of this work but getting into those small spaces may be extremely difficult or impossible. I'd encourage you to look at all the space available and make use of it. Also try to insulate the inside of the hull where ever possible which will help with heat, cold, and water condensation inside the hull.

[@louisgabriels6333]

Well, I'm cringing a bit watching some of the technique/tools used to get the job done. I could say do it this way or that to save time and do it better...fact is you're doing it and it looks good in the end. Very happy to see kids messing with "sail" boats. Having "sailing Uma" as inspiration is a very good thing.

[@timgore1487]

Nice, still binging !! Keep it up !!

[@886luke]

For future interest, you will get better bonding wood to pvc if you stuff the pc with some rough sandpaper first. The stuffing gives the glue a better ability to adhere than a glossy smooth surface. Will make a night and day difference for you!

[@milty4548]

When I had my boat, I stumbled on Phenoseal --- 10 oz. White Vinyl Adhesive Caulk. It works !

[@LearningtheLines]

Thanks for the tip!

[@kevinfisher1345]

I would recommend using contact cement glue instead of that DynaGrip, could not find actual info on its bond. Contact cement is ideal for less porous material such as PVC or plastic laminates and will also bond with many other such as wood. You need to roll it on both surfaces and leave for 15 - 20 minutes until it becomes tacky and cured, than attach both pieces together and contact cement will stick to itself. But you must make sure it lines up before attaching as its pain in ass trying to move once it starts to stick to itself. We used it all the time on plastic laminates, tub liners and even countertops and will not budge even with flex and movement.

[@LearningtheLines]

Good info! Thanks. Making sure it lines up perfect is a little intimidating. Lol.

[@kevinfisher1345]

yea the trickiest bit, little experience helps. Really just want to line up one whole edge first than start slowly pressing rest together til you start get hang of it. Than make sure to press firmly ensure good bond all over. Keep heat gun handy in case once you get part way and realize it is bit off.

[@robinturner2300]

Been using contact adhesive for attaching Formica type laminates to wood for over 4 decades. It's still the right way to do it and the right product for plastic to wood. If you can, cut the plastic oversize and trim after adhesion, also if you are doing a horizontal surface, once the coating has gone off place thin laths on the wood before you place the plastic, position it and then gradually withdraw the laths to let it drop down. The laths won't stick as they don't have adhesive on them. Sometimes for awkward shapes stick thin ply (1/4"-3/8") to the plastic, cut and finish to shape then use wood glue or building adhesive to stick the ply surface to where it's going.

[@stuartmcmichael5250]

If your using thee contact cement just leave the pieces oversized and then finally cut your to the true size.

[@drwindsurf]

I love the inexpensive solutions you are finding for your refit. Stainless is stainless (mostly) - I would have never thought of Ikea for marine solutions (or PVC board for that matter). Keep up the awesome work...and thank you for sharing :)

[@LearningtheLines]

Awesome! Good luck with your search. It's fun to tour boats and think about their potential.

[@CheersWarren]

Impressed with your progress, I had faith in you despite your skill at destruction! I'm glad you are resisting the Know-It-Alls! ....I will make one suggestion if you ever need it. If you have to fiberglass with thin 6 or 10oz cloth like you are using over sharpish corners cut the cloth into strips at 45 degrees or 'on the bias' and it will conform remarkably well....but you have done surfboards I hear so I'm probably teaching you to 'suck eggs'! Cheers Warren.

[@LearningtheLines]

Thanks, Warren! We appreciate your sincere advice. ♡

[@3DPDK]

You guys are putting me to shame. You have done more work in a few months than I have done in a year. In spite of my tips, y'all are doing a good job. My only excuse is being retired, I have thrown away all adherence to deadlines. Always end a video on a laugh! =D ... perfect!

[@LearningtheLines]

Thank you so much! We always love your comments and advice. We know that some of the work we're doing is not as professional as it should be, but this channel is not about professional boatwork. It's a documentary about a couple DIYing a boat and going cruising. Nobody is perfect and neither are we. Thanks so much for your support along the journey :)

[@LearningtheLines]

:P love you too!

[@Randy_Gustafson]

Hey mate, simple tip for routeing a straight edge without the underside being straight. Clamp or screw in a straight edge to the counter the distance from your base to the bit edge. That way you can have the substrate stand proud a 1/16" - 1/8" from the wavy fibreglass. Cheers and keep up the efforts. Any carpentry questions you have, please feel free to drop a line and I'll answer them the best I can. (FYI, I live a few miles away from Boatworks Andy in the Beautiful Lake Superior area)

We are choosing not to flush mount the sink since it is designed as an over mount sink. Plus if anything goes wrong with it, it is easy to replace.

[@LearningtheLines]

Ok

[@3DPDK]

Jordan, I know you know a lot more about glassing than the typical "back yard" boat builder from your surf board work. You've already been fussed at in other comments for not completely sanding away the gel coat on your joints, so I won't go into that other than I agree with WolverineLiving - just keep repeating this until it becomes ingrained - "there's NO strength in gel coat, there's NO strength in gel coat, there's no strength ...." My three biggest pro tips that I can't help myself but give to you, are: Always fray the edge of any woven glass cloth. Pull a few strands out running parallel to the edge, back to 1/4 to 1/2 inch. This helps prevent de-lamination because of physical reasons that would take five paragraphs to explain. My second tip is ALWAYS use a "bedding layer" of 3/4oz or 1 1/2oz random direction mat for any weight of woven cloth. Again the reasons for this have taken whole chapters in technical books concerning the physics of two laminated materials with wildly different expansion and contraction amounts. Suffice it to say that the mat layer gives the cloth a buffer zone. It also insures a seal in the holes between the strands in the weave. My third tip is little know or used; When laminating to ply wood (or any other wood) paint a coat of resin thinned with styrene or no more than 30% acetone and catalyzed just a bit cooler than what you would for the day's conditions, with no glass, and let it kick off. This allows the resin to soak into the wood giving your lamination a bond that goes deeper into the fibers of the wood. This doesn't cure delamination from wood but it slows it down considerably. Now I need to go batten down my hatches - sitting at the bottom of N.Carolina on the I.C.W. 3 miles from the mouth of the Cape Fear River ... gonn'a be a wild weekend!

[@jastark22181]

Be safe down there... I'm praying for everyone that's along the coast

[@3DPDK]

Thanks Jeffery, as of this morning (Wed morning) looks like the southern coast of S. Carolina may get the worst of it.

[@LearningtheLines]

Thank you, 3DPDK. We always appreciate your feedback. We trust you as a reliable source now. We definitely feel like you know your stuff. I (Randi) normally prep the glass so I will keep the fraying in mind. Good to know, since I try to avoid fraying it typically. 😕 Best wishes for the storm. Take care of yourself.

[@kevinfisher1345]

Yea I always see professionals fray the ends, quite often they will tear it instead of cutting when they can for that exact reason. Great tip with your 3rd one, you always want to prep wood to allow it to soak in as much as possible, even plywoods which most people do not think about.

[@LearningtheLines]

Thanks, Kevin!

[@Wheelchair2011]

I highly recommend Sika construction adhesive at Home Depot!

[@LearningtheLines]

We picked that up but weren't sure it would bond to PVC.

[@bowwave59]

A Few Questions from across the Pond. Is it cost with the glues your using? Would you not use a marine glue or epoxy glue for bonding? Is the salt air going impact any bonded surfaces? The boat will bend and twist when sailing and there’s expansion and contraction with temperature all straining whatever’s glued.

[@LearningtheLines]

bowwave paul, from my experience epoxy doesn't like to stick to plastics/pvc. I could be wrong but that's why we didnt try epoxy. We were thinking 5200 or something similar but it doesn't have an instant grab component and clamping up the pvc would have been almost impossible. That's why we went with an exterior grade construction adhesive. If it fails, we didnt use it in a lot of places so it will be easy to redo.

[@floydgraves3997]

@@LearningtheLines If you do re do the PVC on the sides with the port lights I'd suggest you do the same as you did with the ceiling and strip it with wood and insulate the cabin walls first. This will help with the heat, cold and condensation ... your over all comfort. Just a thought.

[@jefferylynn8848]

If the adhesive you're using don't work out try F-26 also taking a heavy grit sandpaper and stuffing up the backside of the PVC board will help out too

[@LearningtheLines]

Thanks for the tips!

[@kz4506]

When you glue on ply or that white covering , smeare glue over every inch or moisture will stay in there and rot , it’s a boat it lives in water and has 30 percent or more moisture content all the time , you glue it on cover it with glue The sink will last fine I have the same in mine and it’s sailed the world over 6 years , I just polish it from time to time with autosol

[@LearningtheLines]

Good to hear about the sink!

[@kevchard5214]

Its shaping up nicely! Keep up the good work. I can't Waite for the motor retro with the batteries, this is a concept I thought of many years ago but the battery technology was not there yet. I assume the batteries will be lithium ?

[@LearningtheLines]

Thanks, Kevin! The batteries are Lithium Iron Phosphate from Battle Born Batteries.

[@titustiger27]

I always wonder about respirators.. of you are covering your mouth, what is stopping 'stuff' going into your eyes... that full face is a good fix... you should have linked that to. and not that it probably matters -- but a question for me --- at 3:31 you covered the wall/wood with fiberglass, did you consider filling in those round circles... or are those needed for instruments on the other side

[@LearningtheLines]

They were instrument holes. We don't plan to reuse them as of now. We had redone the fiberglass laminate on the exterior before painting, but didnt fill the plywood back in. The laminate is rather thick. Didn't think it was necessary.

[@svbarryduckworth628]

A sink is a sink. It'll be fine as far as rust/corrosion. We put a standard mini-size bar sink in our head. The only thing that fit nicely. The issue is getting the drain to adapt to the marine hose without getting a sketchy cobbled-up adapter below the waterline. It looks like your sink drain might already be below waterline already on a port tack. ours is in our HR-35 when we are heeled over more than 20-degrees or so. Be sure your drain to hose adapter is sturdy under the sink. If it is fragile residential PVC components and breaks apart the hose could possibly drop down below the waterline and flood/sink the boat eventually. That's how Wicked Salty lost their boat last year with their head sink. Best to secure and support the drain hose so that if it does fall off the sink somehow it can't possibly fall below the waterline and siphon water into the hull.

[@LearningtheLines]

Definitely good pointers! We certainly don't want to have that happen to us as well. Thanks for the advice. :)

[@marcryvon]

You could also look for a "check valve". It prevents water to rush back. Pretty sure you can find the proper size for your application at Home Depot. Cheap insurance...

[@schmeat2717]

[@miken7629]

A trick to glue PVC to other materials, is to first lay down PVC glue on the area of PVC you want to bond and let it dry. Most glues are incompatable with PVC but glues like epoxy will bond to PVC glue.

[@LearningtheLines]

Interesting! Thanks for the tip.

Next time you have a large gaps to fill, like under the counter, shred and chop some fiberglass and use that as the filler.

[@LearningtheLines]

I think, but I don't have it in front of me, the high density filler had fiberglass in it.

[@PasiSavolainen]

Consider adding a cover over the sink. Either full-width (to cover also basin) or just the step part. Could be just a board, temporarily :)

[@LearningtheLines]

We're most likely going to do a cutting board over the whole thing.

[@johnnybarbar7435]

If you have to reglue PVC to wood, try Gorilla glue which is polyurethane glue that cures in the presence of moisture and swells to penetrate and bond extremely well to most everything. Roughing up the PVC surface with 40 or 60 grit sandpaper will also make a huge difference in joint strength.

[@LearningtheLines]

We will keep this in mind! Thanks.

[@martyhandley4456]

Lightly sand the back of the starboard and wipe with alcohol and I don’t know how consistent the plywood is, but maybe some time prepping and sealing the ply before trying to bond a non porous surface to it and make sure to get a good even coat of glue, like using a trowel and really scrape the glue into the plywood and clean it really well before starting to trowel the glue

[@LearningtheLines]

We will keep that in mind for future applications.

[@SenatorPerry]

Hrm. KZbin comments are pretty much the reason why so many good boat/sailing blogs have disappeared. I still miss BoatFam and anyone without an extremely thick skin will get discouraged when faced with such negativity. Things are coming together. I would consider a cutting board the size of the sink extension with wood dowels that slip into holes into the countertop and a standoff. That would completely eliminate someone stepping on the sink and give you a good cutting board location where you can scrape vegetables and whatever off into a bowl firmly anchored in the sink basin. Just a thought, but you will easily have enough power in your Battleborn batteries to run a microwave. At one point there was a Stove + Microwave combo that gimbles: www.westmarine.com/buy/force-10--stove-with-microwave-cabinet--3779493 Thanks for sharing.

Since it's not a structural piece, we're going to leave it as is. We appreciate the friendly tip and understand it should be done that way, but for its purpose this will suffice.

[@onlyychevys]

Gel coat is polyester resin with tint in it for color and is plenty strong for what you are doing. 35 years in the business and I have never had a problem. Use very coarse sand paper for the best bond. Yay Uma for sharing! Looking good guys.

[@3DPDK]

onlychevys Williams: Gel coat also has a particulate filler to give it body so it wont sag. This makes gel coat much more brittle than pure polyester. If Jordan had tried this in a production boat assembly line he would have been told to grind it down and do it over.

[@onlyychevys]

This is not a production line, it is a refab on an older boat. Always the keyboard experts, let them build their boat.

[@3DPDK]

Doesn't matter. Not a "keyboard expert", but a fiberglass boat builder since 1974... learned fiberglass when you had to mix cobalt into the resin ... look that up.

[@reddsmorris7053]

What and where did you get your face mask and filters?

[@LearningtheLines]

The filters we picked up at Home Depot. They're the 3M ones for particulates and chemicals. The masks we got off ebay. They're a knock off of the 3M full face masks. Jordan found them, but I think he probably searched full face respirator.

[@reddsmorris7053]

So no make or model numbers to research?

[@RoyClare]

As a professional ship Captain I learned years ago that those on the jetty know much more about handling the vessel than the hapless crew onboard. It seems it might be the same thing with with fitting out the interior of a boat? So I’ll share what I also learned back then ... press on, your ship is awesome and is going to arrive well, whatever the jetty folk say. Good luck guys ..... thanks for sharing your voyage. 👍☺️

[@LearningtheLines]

Lol thanks for the smile!

[@MrRourk]

I hope you guys are okay. News makes it sound like the East Coast is completely underwater.

[@LearningtheLines]

Where we are is fine luckily. Hoping N and S Carolina fair well through the storm.

[@silvercart2885]

there is a 120 outlet over the sink.

[@jefferylynn8848]

I watch this one again I'm loving your ideas I would really love to buy a boat and do the same I just have hesitations the idea of uprooting and leaving Arkansas at the age of 54 I am no stranger to the boat life I lived on the Arkansas River I was looking at a 1986 Hunter 34 foot supposed to be good sturdee boat the interior is completely destroyed with no motor it's a marine repo asking 1,200.00 don't know much about sailboats I don't know if will be good for sailing the Caribbean

[@LearningtheLines]

River life must be nice too. For some reason we've never been big fans of Hunters. Just a personal opinion, mainly because they have no backstay lol. They should do fine sailing the Caribbean and tons of people love them. In my opinion it's all about how you feel when you get on the boat. Does it feel right to you.

[@steveadams4009]

If you are not interested in the Hunter could I have the information to contact them

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Nothing wrong with an Ikea sink. If the sink is the typical alloy used with normal stainless sinks-usually 304 low carbon or one of the 400 series-you should not see too much rust unless you let normal carbon (cast iron or non-stainless) steel sit against the sink and begin to rust. Also if you keep the sink rinsed and wiped down it should last you for many years. Just don't let salt water sit in the sink or stand on the drain board for hours or days and you will be fine. Your galley is starting to look good. Keep up the good work.

[@LearningtheLines]

Awesome! Thank you, Matt.

[@OLDBD1]

Awesome!

[@LearningtheLines]

Thank you!

[@CawffeeTyme]

Did you happen to check Mads' videos on glas'ing and filleting, he's become quite the pro.

[@LearningtheLines]

We watch Mads all the time, so most likely. I don't remember there being a specific video for that though. Lol

[@CawffeeTyme]

I'm not sure he did specific vidz on that subject, but he sure knows his stuff by now.....with a bit of helpful advice from boatworkstoday. Btw, I think doing that pvc board on that bulkhead added a bit of brightness to the cabin that was sorely lacking in the original cabin. Can't wait to see it all finished, I wonder if I'll have a boat of my own before you're done.

[@LearningtheLines]

For sure! Both Andy and Mads are great at what they do.

[@runemartinguldberg9056]

5:51 What music is that.

[@davexvs]

so dan saved your day brilliant {:-) PAV

[@LearningtheLines]

Basically lol

[@runemartinguldberg9056]

When they enter the boat they put their feet in the zink and have a immediate fot wash.

[@billkaroly]

Are you going to countersink the sink?

[@LearningtheLines]

No, it was designed to be over mount so we're going to keep it that way. Plus it'll be easier to replace to if anything goes wrong.

[@vishvpl3618]

Great

[@LearningtheLines]

Vish Vpl, Thank you!

[@willsonlefevers4814]

for Halloween you should dress up as captins!

[@LearningtheLines]

Haha we may have to go get some costumes

[@willsonlefevers4814]

hi five for freedom!

[@GEEKICIDALTENDENCIES]

Fun Idea

[@terryyitong9262]

Balance the boat from the waterline stain so your sink will be level with the world when you put the boat in the water.

[@LearningtheLines]

Now that the counter is flat it should be fine. Thanks for watching!

[@peterkacandes5905]

Learning the Lines I wonder if it’s possible that the counter was purposely angled that way instead of level in order to facilitate drainage of liquid toward the sink maybe?

[@LearningtheLines]

It was, but it didn't function properly due to having an over mount sink so water just pooled in the center.

[@barrythompson6472]

Where did you get the mask?

[@LearningtheLines]

We got it on eBay.

[@johnshoureas1629]

I did not see you form a fillet. All you did was fill in the space where the plywood was not touching the fiberglass. A fillet is formed by using the radius end on a tongue depressor or similar shaped tool so that the epoxy is flared out at the base of the plywood. Then you add the strip fiberglass cloth over the fillet with epoxy, to extend the width of area for added strength.

[@LearningtheLines]

See, I knew it :)

[@terryyitong9262]

Don't use a chemical respirator for particulates. A "dust mask" works a lot better and you will be much more comfortable.

[@LearningtheLines]

These masks are actually pretty comfortable, and luckily 3m makes particulate and chemical (combo) filters that go into these masks.

[@donpetrey8007]

Looking good but you guys need to watch Boatworks today and sail life when it comes to tabing and new bulkheads as why do it twice spend a little more time and do it once forever

[@faksen13]

When you glue you must make passage way for air to escape. The way you did it you traped air with glue borderline = the glued parts is not AS good conected AS they should have ben.

[@LearningtheLines]

We will keep that in mind for future projects.

[@DG-ti4qc]

Another electric motor........ Really hope when it comes down to it you'll be able to get out of trouble with it. I hope it works out coz thats really cool if it works.

[@LearningtheLines]

Thanks for watching!

[@richardbedard1245]

What did she say??

[@johnnywhite9956]

The level... The boat must be level first !! Than level the sink. If not ! You screwed up....😅😅

[@LearningtheLines]

Our boat isn't level, hence why we didn't use the level as a level. We just used it as a straight edge. The jack stands under the boat aren't perfect so we had to adapt.

[@jimnickles2347]

Not too Sure about the Sink Location, but Time Will Tell, you may have Discovered a Breakthrough in Interior Layout. If it don't Work, you can always Tear It Out and Re-Refit in a couple years. LOVE that faucet! I need to put one of those In for Mom.

[@LearningtheLines]

Hopefully it works out, but it is definitely a bit questionable. Lol.

[@CawffeeTyme]

Yeah, but then again, Dan and Kika will probably do another refit of their boat in a few years as well. I think it's in their genes.

[@LearningtheLines]

Architects at heart. Their galley is stunning though and the head...wow.

[@marcryvon]

Just want to let you know that I just had the Walker guy blocked. You should'nt hear about him anymore... Have a good day, young ones. :-))

[@LearningtheLines]

Thanks! You too.

[@michaeltillman1147]

Soooooo did ya dent the sink? LoL

[@LearningtheLines]

'Tis but a scratch!

[@michaeltillman1147]

@@LearningtheLines Just something to smile about. Great projects. Looking forward to the finished product. Though just a fraction as much as you guys I'm sure. 👍 😎

[@LearningtheLines]

You have no idea! We want to be done so badly. Lol

[@martyhandley4456]

Hahahaha....she said oh shit......

[@LearningtheLines]

Kind of sounded like it, but I was just finishing what I was saying, "perfect situation".
