Boat Hardware installation started. Shiny bits on! - S03E27

[@latitudeash]

Love the chopping board wheels..🤣

[@buildingwilda]

The best!

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

I think acetone would have made short work of that plastic on the wheel. Glad to see the installation of the boat jewels. Looking awesome!

[@buildingwilda]

Thanks 👍 If we remember well, we did try acetone and it didn't seem to work. The job is done now and we're learning more tricks from the comments and advice we get here! Thanks for your comment! Good to see you again!

[@mp6756]

As a machinist, I found your unconventional drive system extremely interesting. If I wasn't on a different continent, I would be happy to make delrin bushings for your anchor roller assembly as well as caps to trap the roller pins in place. I think the caps are a great simple solution. While under sail and the drive units retracted, they will offer nearly zero drag, its a very cool setup. You guys are building an amazing boat. I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the hard work

[@MarchTwentyfour-t8z]

Good to see you both enjoying doing some of the fun stuff and not covered in dust for a nice change. As always, looking forward to your next episode 😃 Cheers 🍻🍻

[@buildingwilda]

Less sanding dust is good! 🤣

[@robertlaird6746]

Moving along very nicely! This is an extreme amount of work and a lot of money to make it all happen.

[@buildingwilda]

Oh, how right you are! Thanks for sticking with us! Appreciate your weekly comments and feedback!

[@robertlaird6746]

@@buildingwilda How much longer do you think it will take till your sailing? I'm guessing about 6 months.

[@buildingwilda]

We're hoping you are right, but we have some stuff we have to do back home... Slower progress than we would wish.

[@RogerMartin-sp6or]

Such a fun episode.👍 I hope Wilda videos will continue after she is launched!

[@buildingwilda]

Awesome! glad you enjoyed it! We hope to be able to continue the video making! So far so good! Thanks for your comment and feedback!

[@lanerothsailing2293]

standard greetings in our house too "what are you doing?" thanks for the new episode

[@buildingwilda]

Haha! Cool! Thanks for checking on us at Building Wilda!

[@FeliciaDima]

❤ I love you nice work

[@buildingwilda]

Thank you so much 😀 big heart!

[@rolandtb3]

Dry fitting and installing some boat bling. Alternative fun projects.

[@radicalradiotech4944]

Lovely boat! guys!!

[@buildingwilda]

Thanks! It is a beautiful boat! Sooo looking forward to finishing and getting het out of the shed!

[@Buzzz1962]

It all comes nicely together. Good job

[@buildingwilda]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@samijokinen6923]

Nice work!

[@buildingwilda]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kevinmartin3859]

Just caught up on the last two episodes windows look good yes you have a problem with the curved window but I'm sure you will solve it like the shiny bits it means you are getting closer to the launch well done 😊😊

[@8AUSSIE8]

Aeroguard spray will move that plastic off your helm, really easy.

[@buildingwilda]

Really?! That sounds like something to try... And keep the mozzies off Rox in the process 🤣

[@morychok11]

Отличная работа! На якорную лебедку можно поставить отдельный аккумулятор. И солнечную панель для зарядки. Удачи

[@buildingwilda]

Yes... But we'd like to avoid having an extra battery. Going for some sort of converter. From 48v or 240... Yet to be decided... I have the 48 v ones ...

[@morychok11]

@@buildingwilda I agree. A converter is a good idea. But you need to consider what the power loss will be. Good luck

[@latitudeash]

Dinima sretches, is it a good idea? You will have to go back many times to tighten that Dinima line up. Chain or wire cable would be better I think?

[@buildingwilda]

Yes, they stretch. But such a short run, so won't stretch much after the initial set. After that, we will be far from the working load, so creep will be negligible.

[@UNRELATIVE]

It might be a good idea to make a couple extra spacers to take with you..Just in case you need them in the future.

[@buildingwilda]

Thanks! That's the plan, we have quite a bit left of the chopping board, so we'll make spares too! We see how it goes with them!

[@woosh073]

A caramel wheel on a drill bit would take it straight off without scratches

[@buildingwilda]

Had to look it up! Brilliant... We might have to get one of those... Thanks 🙏

[@normanboyes4983]

Well you are zipping along at speed now. And, I have caught up - what do I do now? 🤷‍♂️😀⛵️🤣

[@buildingwilda]

🤣

[@radicalradiotech4944]

use acetone or aerothiners to clear the plazyic or heat

[@buildingwilda]

Acetone didn't work. Made it all super messy and harder to get off.

[@vogs72]

Missed opportunity to sand that cutting board

[@jackdbur]

If you search around the interwebs you may find a 48v motor that will fit your anchor winch.

[@buildingwilda]

Yes.... Vetus/Maxwell actually makes one. I could run the existing controller on 12 and winch power on 48.... But including taking the 12v motor back vetus want something like 800$ for the motor .. I'm sure I can find something.. but for now, we'll just go with what we've got.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Best thing to do with a plastic cutting board .. you dont want to be eating from plastics or drinking .. 🚰 from plastics wherever possible. PFAS and nano/micro plastics need to be avoided where possible. I expect the winch could cope with 24v but the control circuits would fry.🤷🏻 So run it till its dead and run the higher current carrying lower voltage main power cables . Is there space for a 12 v battery close by or you voltage step down device.

[@buildingwilda]

We have a bunch of converters and should be able to do 48-12... Actually 48 to 13.8 to help a bit. But it may be better to do 240 to 12 as the power supplies are easy to get hold of and efficient and robust. Not sure how good our 48 to 12 supplies are.

[@robinhodgkinson]

I’m curious. Where in Victoria are you? When I was a kid my parents had a farm near Ballarat. I used a few chopping boards in my boat build as well. That HDPE plastic is very very handy. The only drawback in its usefulness in some applications is it does not like glue or epoxy.

[@buildingwilda]

We're down the mornington peninsula. Going to try some ldpe also.... Other purpose...

[@robinhodgkinson]

@@buildingwilda Small world - I lived in Frankston for a few years as well. Now almost 30 years in New Zealand but planning to retire back to the Sunshine Coast in a year or two - had enough of Auckland winters! : )

[@buildingwilda]

Sounds like a plan! We're pretty much over Melbourne winters as well 🤣

[@gavinmarshall6438]

Gue off, from any supermarket will get that off.

[@buildingwilda]

Thanks for that! Is the product - see link? Just trying to find it for if there will be a next time! www.bunnings.com.au/goof-off-177ml-adhesive-remover_p1580913

[@radicalradiotech4944]

48Volts to 12volts is easy these days with buck convertors.

[@buildingwilda]

Somewhat... But not too many available that can comfortably do 1200W... Not sure how many starting watts...

[@rayboucher479]

Why not sell the twelve and upgrade to what you have for power ?

[@buildingwilda]

Cost... And availability.... Mostly cost... And time. 🤣

[@timothydunn5889]

Just a quick hello, to help the algorithym along.❤

Thanks so much! You're always there for us helping with a comment!

[@saltlightdix4704]

Hey Axel, have you got the motors yet? I’m a friend of Kel&Mel and I might have something for you if you don’t already have them. Kev

[@buildingwilda]

Hi Kev Thanks 🙏 Yes. We have the motors and controllers, thanks! We were up for a visit just the other day. Marram (and the 480) are coming along nicely!

[@rayboucher479]

Turns it to snot .

[@buildingwilda]

Sorry, not quite getting the message here. Maybe we can learn more?

[@waynehelsel3949]

Try heating up with hair dryer

[@buildingwilda]

That is a solution I've never thought of! But why not?! Thanks! Will keep in mind if we face the same problem again!

[@brucevogel2693]

Too little, Too late..... but a heat gun for paint removal would have taken care of the plastic on your helm.

[@buildingwilda]

That's probably right... Burn it off? Or just make it soft. Pretty soft and sticky as it was 🤣

[@Building_Bluebird]

Regarding the windlass, you might find it easier to add a separate AGM battery forward for the anchor winch and a wash down. Of course at 12 volts it's going to need thick wiring. Charge it with a separate solar panel or over lighter gauge wire converted from the house bank. Clark from Emily and Clark Adventures did a nice schematic of his solenoid controlled windlass setup with a battery forward and cockpit control here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqKven5_arOnp80si=jTa74I2sN5F5xpmW

[@buildingwilda]

An option, yes, we'll see what we go with in the end

[@rayboucher479]

Gasoline will take it off . Gas and a rag .

[@buildingwilda]

Thanks for the tip. We didn't have that handy but haven't thought of trying it either! Good to know for a next time.

[@latitudeash]

You said no more sanding….🤣😂🤣. I never believed that when you said it. Now scraping….🤣😂. If you are a bad girl scraping will be the punishment…🥹

[@buildingwilda]

There's always something to sand 🤣
