Bronze Cast Pintle and Gudgeon, and Cutting out the Rudder S2-E59

[@peterjensen6844]

Would love to listen to Steve talk about his career!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Next episode. He is turning a hook handle with his home build CNC lathe.

[@peterjensen6844]

@@TheArtofBoatBuilding no way! That's awesome! Very much looking forward to it

[@garyfairbrother5532]

Nothing beats watching wise old men moving slowly and surely “in the zone” and the mutual respect shown for each other’s skill set. Great video, like a great book, a little sad to see it end. Thanks!

[@henrikstenlund5385]

Good job. The old gentleman skillfully used the fourjaw in centering the piece properly. That is usually a bit requiring task

[@davidc6510]

Great episode. That rudder fits like a glove on the Pintle's. Thanks for sharing.

[@OgamiItto70]

Here's to Steve. That was super-cool of him to help you with the machining. Way to go, dude.

[@marclattoni1959]

One of your best videos! And who can resist being drawn to a the title "Pintle and Gudgeon"? It has the makings of a wonderful British detective TV show.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Great visit to the neighbor's shop, and great video at your's as well. Great looking pieces of hardware y'all created.

[@steven_vogt]

Educational, endearing and entertaining in equal measure. I can’t overstate how much I am enjoying following you on this build. Thank you!

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

Thanks Steve, I appreciate your kind words. Cheers, Bob

[@thesoupin8or673]

Extremely cool to see the first functioning cast piece on the boat! Seeing a component move really brings it to life, I think

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

Thank you Mr. Colburn. What a kind and generous thing to do. The world needs more good men like you. Having great neighbors is always a bonus. The casting may be my favorite part of the entire build so far. Except for maybe the bright work. She's coming along nicely, Bob. Another fantastic video!

[@TheBubagrunt]

Pretty cool! Watching these for the third time. Great content and please be encouraged!

[@sunny71169]

With all the skills and knowledge gleaned from watching Steve working on Arabella, Leo and crew building Tally Ho, Dave building and restoring wood vehicles, and Bob building his Haven 12 1/2, I completed my 48' schooner last night just before I woke up. Thanks guys! Escape from the ugly reality of politics and culture wars here in the U.S. is preserving my sanity and I'm sure many others'.

[@beniank9091]

You are absolutely correct. Thanks for the reminder that there are other things in life that are worth stopping and enjoying.

[@damoog5985]

It's a pleasure to watch such craftsmen doing things so well. Thanks for sharing.

[@drop_dtuned6167]

This was a well put together episode With the foundry and casting basics covered, it moved steadily from fabrication to installation. That was very satisfying.

[@jimneely4527]

Thank you for sharing this and thank Steve for showing his skill in turning out those pieces for you. That lathe is really cool!

[@campbellmj9405]

I wonder if you ever lose the feeling of apprehension when opening a mold. Love watching lathe work. Another pleasant Saturday morning complete.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

I never have lost that excitement of opening a mold. Not always the outcome I would be looking for, however, generally a happy dance is in order!

[@bobflores]

@@TheArtofBoatBuilding I think you should include a happy dance sequence in the next video. :)

[@iancarr7629]

Very enjoyable video. You have an eye for detail.

[@richparker7778]

Bob, Clinton Lake would be a great place for the maiden voyage . Great video.

[@mrvertigo23]

Brilliant educator and inspirator!

[@TheClBlues]

Wow ! Amazing work of casting for these little pieces, I'm sure you're gonna cast even the screws for the next boat !!! ;-)

[@johnryan2193]

What a great neighbour you have,.

[@terrulian]

Thanks for clarifying the pintle and gudgeon screws. I was thinking they looked awfully small for the work they have to do.😊

[@MCsCreations]

Really beautiful work, Bob! 😃 I love to watch people working with the lathe... Truly amazing what can be done! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@RoyBlumenthal]

Every single thing in this boat is a handcrafted masterpiece. Amazing work. Just amazing. Thanks.

[@kevspss]

Cool little lathe he has.

[@cdennisb]

Well, no surprise! Another precision masterpiece. The casting and machining was amazing to watch, and the rudder fabrication and mounting was masterful. Hard to imagine that you had to find a neighbor with equipment that you didn’t have!

[@fonhollohan2908]

Great Job Bob well done.

[@jimc4731]

Nice job all around! It was a good thing I listened to the end, I was going to comment on the screws seemingly being too small. 😘 Keep up the good work, JIM

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Great video Bob, wonderful to have a neighbor like him. Outstand job with the castings.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Very nice work on the casting and getting them fitted up. The finish on the pieces is perfect. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week ahead.

[@victorroios]

30 minutes of pleasure☺

[@dennisdownes9319]

Incredible work and video! So funny how you and Steve met; both craftsman and sailors living 5 houses away! Great Story. DD

[@jimmefish6855]

Good To See You This Morning

[@timbone4925]

Great skill and patiance gets the job done. Thanks for taking the time to make these films!

[@allancampbell8274]

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@MarcvanExel]

Great work, and very nice to have a neighbour like that.

[@akishi368]

Another wonderful episode.

[@LEGOWENTV]

Great episode. Progress!

[@PaulHarold]

amazing as usual Bob. well done.

[@Rsama60]

Nice video as always, I like your attention to details. Can‘t wait to see her in the water and under sail.

[@MaxCJ]

Really excellent video, I always learn so much!

[@glencrandall7051]

Beautiful work. I would have made the gudgen pattern one piece instead of two. That would have simplified the machining. Other than that all is magnificent. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@tinkeringinthailand8147]

Great work. Another step closer :)

[@barneygoogle4003]

Sweet!

[@BrunoWiebelt]

temp for casting was good! nice build

[@belledetector]

Beautiful videos you make, and a wonderful boat in the making

[@garyfroeschner2523]

good stuff

[@rickestabrook4987]

Excellent. Thanks.

[@scottgorman7166]

Nicely done! Bob are your glasses polycarbonite lenses for safety? Boy Steves lathe was an older model....belt drive...now if the belts were leather that would be a collectors tool for sure. Very enjoyable series, thank you.

[@josephlorenzo8349]

I echo everyone's compliments and admiration save the reference to "old". I reside in this realm and the word to use is OLDER! Age in today's world, if health is stil with you is just a number.

[@petterandersson7429]

Coffee time.....very nice 😋. It's good to get back to the boat too. The stern wood looks magnificent. It's almost a shamed you have to flush mount the gudgeon.

[@markjenney8808]

At 22:40 there is an odd shaped piece you are using for a weight , I was wondering what it is from. I have one like it in my scrap bin which is cast iron.

[@walterplummer3808]

Another great video. Does the rudder get glassed in? I was wondering why you laminated the plywood with yellow glue instead of epoxy. Have you done anything else on the sail? Thanks.

[@christianrogers2361]

Can you discuss the screws holding in the plywood rudder end grain? Was the rudder designed to be solid wood? Are there also straps to reinforce that connection?

[@ssolomon999]

I was wondering the same thing. Pretty sure the plans called for laminated mahogany ply. Pintles often - usually? - have straps to allow through-bolting, I was a bit surprised to see these plans seem to rely on a relatively short screw into end grain plywood. Maybe the pintles get glassed in?

[@simmonscarl1]

Couple of things: I would have thought you would epoxy the pieces of ther rudder together. Are you planning on sealing the end grain of the plywood with epoxy?

[@dwel2928]

One thing I would have done, were it my rudder, is to laminate the 2 layers with epoxy and sandwich in a layer of fiberglass cloth - it gives a lot of strength to my kayak paddle laminations. But of course, it is not my rudder. And wisdom would lead me to avoid second-guessing Bob's boat building!

[@DFMurray]

What's the composition of that bronze? It seems a little soft.

[@TheArtofBoatBuilding]

It is Silicon Bronze. Nearly as hard as stainless steel, silicon bronze has a (Rockwell B) hardness of 60-95. Compared to brass fasteners, bronze is much harder and more resistant to corrosion.

[@mikeseawel6180]

Not sure why you had to go to all the trouble of boring the hole in the Gudgeon when it could have been drilled to the proper size or close. Then the Pintle could be michined to match.

[@rossfudd256]

Seems like machining them out of solid stock would be more straight forward than casting.

[@petterandersson7429]

"The Boat" seems so impersonal at this point. With the addition of the rudder "She" seems complete. So....when and what are you going to name her?

[@peterweidl8706]

Well done mate.... :o) I love watching you work...so calm and relaxing... G'day from Down under... 🦘👍🦘
