What do you think about the shop rebuild? Do you have any tips to improve on it?

[@barendgarvelink]

Fantastic job on the new workshop! You did right to choose a full renovation. An earlier bodge job is what created this pipe leak. Improvements in the construction and insulation will pay for themselves, and why you may not recoup _all_ of the lost time towards working on Antidote, you will find it easier and faster to work on her with these shop upgrades. Brilliant work, and welcome back!

[@livingforsail]

Thanks Barend, I think you’re right that the workflow in there will be much nicer. Who knows, I might even recoup my time eventually! 😂

[@jimedson3853]

I am thinking the new compressor should not be in the same space as the majority of the work is done.

[@livingforsail]

@@jimedson3853 Why is that? The tools that have heavy air demand will be used on the other side of the wall or in the boat shed.

[@WoodenBoatBen]

@@livingforsail the great thing about air is you don’t have to worry much about long runs. The compressor can be in another (sound insulated) space, and air lines can be run anywhere. Keeping it out of the workspace mostly reduces the noise load.

[@ralph6115]

Great idea on the vinyl floor billboard! Lovely workshop! Nice bike. Glad you’re back.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 they’re working out well so far.

[@TheCreat]

Great result, and very happy to see you're back on your feet! Honestly I would have liked to see more of the actual process, as in more videos about it. I get that it's a sailing channel (or sail-boat-build-channel I guess). It's still all DIY, just not on or about a boat for a couple of weeks. This seemed like a bit of a compressed video, which isn't that surprising as it seems to be 3 months of work in just 20 minutes. I'm of course aware that filming everything is also a lot of work (plus editing and everything) and might add to the time it takes in the end.

[@livingforsail]

Yeah, I appreciate the input here. I think going forward I’m going to try to incorporate more of what’s going on in life into the videos. I did struggle with feeling like “nobody cares about this” with the shop work… We will see how it goes. Thanks for the feedback. 🙏🙏👍🙌

[@WoodenBoatBen]

Good stuff!! Super jealous of your hardware bins.

[@pfeif1312]

[@bakey1111]

Thank god you managed to save your tools, shame about the damage and glad you are through worst of it, looks like its been a tough few months!

[@livingforsail]

Yes, it definitely could have been worse. We are thankful to have this behind us. 🙌👍

Great to see you getting some sponsorship - I like that “lifetime supply” of hardware. Nice score! I think I need a water event in my workshop.

[@livingforsail]

Thanks! 🙏 yeah, BoltDepot have been really good to me. Nothing but good things to say about them!

[@andyleclercq8026]

Welcome back John. Awesome job on the workshop 👏. Andy on the island of Alderney.

[@normanboyes4983]

Absolutely fantastic you turned a disaster into a ‘Triumph’ or maybe a BMW.😉🤣👍⛵️

[@livingforsail]

Haha! 🤣 very punny! In all seriousness… thank you 🙏

[@andrewmoylan6295]

G'day Jon, so nice to see you, mate. Great job on the workshop. I loved your BMW GS as well, I've got a 2010 k1300R... love riding bikes , and it must be awesome riding there in Canada, especially with your dad. Cheers again.

[@livingforsail]

Hi! Thank you! 🙏 Yeah, the BMW is a lot of fun. I really wanted something like that when I saw the “long way around” such a cool series! Cheers! 👍🙌

[@denisbeaulieu958]

Been waiting for you to get back on ……very happy to see you in good spirit 👍🇨🇦

[@livingforsail]

Thank you 🙏. Gotta look for the positives! 👍🙌. Thanks for hanging around.

[@juergenzenner4219]

Perfect workshop. Looks really good, clean and functional

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 Now it’s time to make a mess!!

[@DanielPatchingSDMB]

He's back baby!

[@livingforsail]

So good to be back! Thanks for sticking around! 🙏👍🙌

[@dougfaulkner6799]

That is a great workspace you've created and will undoubtably help with the project. Also love the floor solution. Much better conditions to work in than the open yard i was in refitting my Morgan Outisland in, in Florida. That was a months long nightmare lol

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏. I’m happy to have the structure work behind me!

[@dannydahms5652]

Glad you got the shop back together and organized. Should make the work on Antidote go a lot smoother. Glad to have you back on youtube.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 Happy to be back at it!

[@seanhanlon5867]

Great to have you back and youve made a lovely job of the water damaged room, which looked a complete disaster. 👊🏻👏🏻💪🏻

[@livingforsail]

Thanks for sticking around! 🙏 I appreciate that. Cheers! 👍🙌

[@BarkTheAlliedGiant]

Beautiful work John!

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏

[@BarkTheAlliedGiant]

@@livingforsail As an after thought. You probably know this trick anyway but I've had a couple of instances where using plastic film to get underneath the fork seals to kind of 'pull' trapped dirt debris from the fork seal has saved me from having to replace the seal. At least as a short term measure, it has worked for me. That noted, I cam imagine you enjoying a fork rebuild, that's fun too!

[@livingforsail]

@@BarkTheAlliedGiant I've actually never heard of that?! Interesting idea... I'm not sure that I fully understand how that works.. Maybe I'll check KZbin. You guessed correctly however. I do have a new pair of SKF seals sitting on the workbench!

[@owenwanamaker6208]

The shop looks great! It was nice meeting you at the marina.

[@livingforsail]

Hi! Right on, yeah it was nice to quickly connect there. I was helping a friend get his F28 “summer ready”. See you around 👍

[@dougtooo]

You have been missed, so glad your videos are coming back.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you 🙏 sincerely! It feels good to be back! 👍🙌

[@hanfordcreek5309]

So glad you’re back! After the last episode I was afraid that we hurt your feelings and you took your ball and went home…. I see that wasn’t the case.

[@livingforsail]

Haha! 🤣 no no… Let’s keep going shall we?

[@geraldtribbe6363]

Good to see ya back!

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 it’s good to be back in action. 👍

[@garrykennedy5653]

Great to see your shed after all your hard work. Good to see you are restarting your boat again , just take care and enjoy

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 yep, just trying to enjoy it all. One day at a time… 👍🙌

[@marcanderson1073]

John it's great to see you back on the tube. Your shop looks great. I look forward to your adventures.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 Feels good to be back!

[@haydenwatson7987]

Welcome back! Great shop. That will really pay dividends as you move forward on the refit.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 I think so too! Cheers! 👍🙌

[@jasongallant9121]

It's good to see you back and that your shop is running. I am looking forward to more work on your boat. As you move along, it's great to see you again. I look forward to more of your videos.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you kindly. 🙏 I appreciate you sticking around! 👍🙌

[@SLBoats-h8z]

Welcome back! Remains officially my favorite sailing/boat channel. A Master Class if there ever was one! Thanks for all you do.

[@livingforsail]

Wow. Thank you for the generous feedback! 🙏 I’m glad that you are enjoying the videos. Cheers!! 🙌🙌

[@josephbudd6685]

Life by the inch is a cinch , by the yard is going to be Hard , by the Mile will take a While

[@livingforsail]

Yeah, that sounds about right! 👍👍

[@martyb3783]

Glad to see you back Jon! Your shop look great! I envy you with your Bolt Depot setup. I will definitely check them out. Great video as always.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you sir! 🙏🙏 I appreciate your feedback as always. If you order with them I’m sure you’ll be very happy. Tell them I sent you 😉

[@redshifttrucking4537]

Shop is looking dope. One really good thing I wonder if you appreciate enough.... your neighbors must be really cool. They let you build the boat shed, park a 20 ft container in front of your house, etc. In many sad places, those things would lead to revolt, and war.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 I hear you! I’m very grateful for good neighbors! 👍🙌

[@jimbruck8250]

You did a good job. You’re doing great work. Very excited seeing things moving forward again.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 I’m excited too! 👍👍

[@scottcates]

Great-looking floor, amigo. I have used that _exact_ same concrete grinding setup for a few years now on concrete flattening work and it's the best way to go. I will look into that low profile dust separator now.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 Yes, that grinding setup worked great! The “conventional” dust deputy separators work even better but sacrifice size, complexity, and cost. That low pro unit is tough to beat at that price point. 👍🙌

[@torstenhansen4308]

And now for some boat work! It’s great to have you back, congratulations on the new shop, it looks great.😊

[@livingforsail]

Thanks! 🙏 I think more boat work sounds great! 👍

[@meestahwah]

Thanks for the tour. That rebuilt shop is going to be SOOOOO appreciated as you continue on Antidote.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 I think so too! Cheers. 👍🙌

[@DuaneSheehan]

Jon, good to see you back and able to work on Antidote again! Things will always come up while you're working on projects. It is worth the time to do it right and make it better than it was, and in your case the shop will be much more organized and user friendly. Good Job!!!

[@livingforsail]

Thanks Duane! 🙏 I think it will be worth the extra effort. All the best! 🙌👍

[@bdphourde]

Well, THAT is a twist! You splashed the shop before you even started it! It all looks so nice! We've already gotten a look at your skills so we would not have accepted less! ;) Now feel free to show more of the shop while you work on the boat again! I looked at those "billboard vinyls" to cover my RV. I hope walking on the vinyl doesn't punch holes in it from the rocks it's on. It is so nice to see a little help from your suppliers! That is really nice to have that organizational ability in your shop and fasteners when you need them.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 I’m glad that you think the shop came out good. I’m very pleased. The tarps are really tough but overtime I think there will be some holes worn in. I’ll probably throw ply down before rolling heavy loads. If I was doing it all over again I would approach it a bit differently but we will see how they last. Cheers! 👍🙌

[@scottcates]

The earlier videos are superb examples of expert-level fiberglass work. I'm stoked for more refit examples. I'm still in the market for my own boat and I am sure it will need some work! These videos are a great inspiration for me. Thanks again!

[@livingforsail]

I appreciate the feedback. 🙏 boats seem to all need work. Even the “finished” ones. All the best on your search. Definitely DO IT! 👍🙌

[@pmsheridan1492]

Glad to see your back! New shop looks great. Keep rollin.

[@livingforsail]

Thanks! 🙏 on we go! 🙌

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

You grabbed my attention right at the beginning and kept me riveted all the way through. I’m feeling encouraged and inspired as one who is no stranger to adversity. Love your boat, what is it? I’m thinking about my next boat. Approaching 70 and planning my next adventure living aboard full time. Thanks for all your hard work putting all these videos together mate. Cheers Chris from down under down under.

[@livingforsail]

Thanks Chris! I appreciate that. 🙏. Antidote is a 1989 Liberty 458. They made 31 and she is the last of them. They are solid boats and most of them have done some major passages (including this one). She’s just a bit tired and in need of a refresh. 👍🙌

[@johnharris2337]

Sorry to hear of your ordeals, I was worried for you both when it went quiet, as always you took care of things with your implacable attention to detail, and great tips. Onwards you go!

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 yeah. It was a discouraging series of events so I just really wanted to get it behind me. Onward we go! 👍🙌

[@carlthor91]

Thanks for the update, on the shop rebuild. Hope the new arrangement helps. Best wishes from Northern Manitoba.

[@livingforsail]

Thanks for watching! Cheers! 🙏👍🙌

[@johnlampl7727]

Glad to see you back.. I have been waiting..

[@livingforsail]

Thanks for sticking around 🙏👍🙌

[@pmnfernando]

glad to see you are back on the saddle! who knows you might even rent your self built shipyard to ppl in the area who need a place to refit a boat, and bam, you are have another income stream coming in to fund your future cruising.

[@livingforsail]

Thank you! 🙏 Haha! 🤣 That would be hilarious. I’m hoping that at the very least the shed frames will be in great shape and can move off to a new home as a “shed kit” I like your idea too. Bridget on the other hand… 🤔

[@pmnfernando]

[@douglasbakker9064]

🤣🤣🤣👌

[@bhartley1024]

Have you tried running your shop vac with the wet filter and a few inches of water in the bottom? That should cut down on any dust the the first trap misses.

[@livingforsail]

Interesting idea. I usually just run the super fine (or HEPA if I can get them) filters and bags in the vacuum so there’s very minimal (near zero?) dust getting past the vacuum. Thanks for the idea. 🙌👍

[@bhartley1024]

I have a rainbow vacuum which uses water to filter out dust, it only uses about 2" of water, but the air comes in only a couple inches from the water and is directed down into it. They work great, but as you can imagine, the bearings take a beating with all that water. The nice thing is you don't have to buy/clean filters, you just dump the dirty water.

[@livingforsail]

@@bhartley1024 Interesting. I will need to look into those...

[@choimdachoim9491]

Concrete dust...young and dumb...late at night grinding a concrete hall floor and came back in daylight to see every square inch of that apartment covered with fine concrete dust...walls, ceiling, curtains, everything. It took me longer to clean the apartment than it did to grind and relay parquet in the hall. I was holding my breath a lot that night and that's probably why years later x-rays show lots of dark areas in my lungs.

[@livingforsail]

Oh man. I’m sorry to hear that. I have a few “young and dumb” stories myself. Take care of those lungs now that we know!! 👍👍🙌🙌
