Nice job James. I hope that whoever wins, will allow you to stay on sloe patrol until your new boat completely finished. I have bought tickets, so it could be me. 😁

Looks like it’s all going great James, with the trim , if you use small copper brads,pre drill the holes, so the sappele doesn’t split, then use a Brad punch to set them just below the surface, then fill the nail heads the trim will stay put, good luck.

James, I just bought some tickets to help you out. I live in the US so I don’t know what I would do with a Narrowboat in the UK….but who knows. I love the cupboard with the leather like material. Always looks classy on the Fiberglass cruisers that are the norm here. Leaving Sloe Patrol I am sure will be bittersweet, but your new boat will be just right for you and your children. This new boat is going to be all your visions come to fruition. Fingers crossed that the Raffal helps you meet the needs for completing your work, and as someone else mentioned, get going on a bathroom and usable kitchen for yourself and the children. Best of luck ☘️ 😊🤗 Kathy

Great job. You will need to protect the side facing the window while you continue to work on the boat. Maybe a sheet of 9mm ply or some cardboard. It'd be a shame to damage the leatherette.

Hi James My first comment for you as a long time subscriber! Have you thought about getting a nail gun? It would make your tasks a whole lot easier.... Please note that they usually need a compressor to power them
@p469678 күн бұрын
A brad/nail gun makes fixing so much easier,like a third hand,James should have invested in one ages ago,plenty are battery powered aswell 👍
@YaaLFH8 күн бұрын
James, you could put leatherette piping on the vertical seam of the cupboards, it would fill the gap and look nice too - you could make it in the contrasting colour or matching. Very good job on the sapele trim! I would have trimmed the padding a bit at the edge so there's only leatherette between the trim and plywood, that way it would sink a little between the two pieces of leatherette and protrude less. I would use a nail gun to install it.
@rubberdc8 күн бұрын
You made the right decision on the trim , much easier to keep it matching with the rest of the boat otherwise too many different colours.

@1LittleNonna8 күн бұрын
Here's a thought for the trim on the leatherette-covered pieces: some cord that looks like rope would look very nautical. Or, even rope... I like the dark wood trim.

Hi James. Instead of the plank of wood to stop little ones from falling out of their bunk how about a proper bed guard. Argos and similar places sell them. They are held in place by the mattress when needed.

James, you need a Brad Nailer Gun w/a small air compressor. Or just use a hammer & pack of Brad Nails. Their tiny nails that are used for wood trimming & cabinets. Best of luck. Looking good 👍. Dennis N.C. USA 🇺🇸. 10/16/24
@chrisrand51858 күн бұрын
Have you considered making some leatherette piping for the long vertical seam? It's what you would use on upholstery, or on classic cars such as Morris Minor or VW Beetle where the wings join the bodywork. Looking forward to the raffle.

Yeah I suggested the same. It could be matching or contrasting, either would look nice.

That cupboard is looking good James, i would have hung the door on the right rather than the left to make it easier to access. I've bought some tickets, mainly to help you out, no canals here in Exeter :) (well apart from the ship canal I suppose, but it's not connected to the network). Wishing you all the best

I like the work you are doing but my personal preference would have been more wood. You have done steller job with that. The leatherette I worry about damage and once its ripped or you want to hang anything its kind of not great. Looks nice though and love the channel.
