Building Evelyn: Gluing up deck beams, EP 17

[@OregonOldTimer]

Excellent narration, Ken.

[@NSResponder]

Hats off to the Glue Crew! Good job, interesting video!

[@thomasarussellsr]

We all know that Lou does most of the talking, but you done a right nice job, Ken. Would like to see the milling after the epoxy/resin sets as well, but this video came together quite well. Nice to meet the "glue crew". Seems like a great group of folks. Thanks for explaining the process.?

I build furniture for a hobby and i made laminate supports for a wall mounted night stand set. 9 strips red oak and brazilian cherry to show some contrast. Used wood glue. The supports were approx 22" long x 3/4x3/4. After attaching them to the front end of the night stand and down to vertical legs against the wall i sat on the top. 225 lbs and it did not break the supports or rip from the wall.

Glue People stick together. Nice demo, no panic, no rushing, no tripping over each other. A great way to use up the off cuts too.

[@thomasarussellsr]

So true, less waste is always a good thing.

[@stefboulas]

great job Ken

[@THEDUTCHT0UCH]

5:45. "never mix the sticks" as the M mixing stick is clearly sitting in the resin jar and resin stick is laying on the table! ;) great videos, i look forward to watching them whenever they come out

[@gregc2467]

Eagle Eye :)

[@juliedwayne7218]

It's great to see young people getting involved in wooden boat building. I always referred to Ken as "Silent Bob", but it's cool to see he has a voice and this is an excellent video.

[@Lanxe]

Great stuff Ken and team - “many hands make light work”

[@daffyduck9901]

Too many hands

[@misiumalowany]

You were like one big happy glueing machine!!! Nice narration Ken!

[@projekt6_official]

Well done glue crew! Total pros!

[@stefboulas]

Great Job Team. Lou must be proud!

[@GediSpock]

Can’t get enough Louie. Thanks again.

[@sjmazzoli]

the best boat show going..indeed...

[@mattevans-koch9353]

That was a smooth working crew you had there Ken. Nice work on the beams. Looking forward to seeing them installed and varnished. Take care all.

[@harrisonandrew]

Wow, those beams are gonna be so strong. Great video.

[@cathykirby8953]

Great job! Good to see the crew all working together. Love the "sticking together" comments! Great idea on using the strips. Thanks for sharing. You're all working really hard!👍

[@richardparsons7012]

Brilliant, thanks. Good job done by all, and good to see so many in the workshop.

[@danacrook4203]

Great Video Lou!

[@georgefrench1907]

Great crew.

[@igor-zb9vd]

Great episode, I really liked meeting the whole crew. Nice work

[@carlosagm73]

Nice team work

[@seanmcardle]

Hehe. Nice teamwork video. Cheers

[@hartwiggrunewaldt5102]

Wonderful, to see the whole crew working together. Thank you Ken for explaining the process! I think that has been a nice event, gluing up the deck beams! Thanks for the nice video!

[@osu3221]

FANTASTIC

[@ryanthomas2374]

Looks awesome.

[@lukesanders2827]

I finally learned why total boat is called that

[@lonecedarfarm]

Very well done

[@123rusty4]

Where the videos , is not winter yet!!!!!

[@mikeevasin9012]

Lou are we going to see more of Evelyn?

[@123rusty4]

This is one of the nice Alden schooner, am hook, need a new video !!!! just do a walk around , lets see the boat ,,Thanks

[@cecilpacetti1491]

I've become very interested in diy boat building over the last year. I'm deciding whether or not to attempt it myself now that I'm in my 50's. I think your method of building deck beams is genius. I've noticed on several sailing channels people laminating wood masts tend to use 2" boards for anything bigger than a dinghy. Do you think laminating much thinner boards would be viable or would it be too heavy? It also seems that you would be relegated to painting the mast rather than using varnish especially if you use fiberglass cloth like you did on the deck beams.

[@austynwilliam]

Any more videos coming soon?

[@mr.e7022]

get much spring back? ever think about using steel plates between the clamp and the glue up? it would spread clamping pressure to flatten cupped wood pieces.

[@bruceperry6315]

I didn’t know Ken could speak. 😉 Nice job with the commentary!

[@Lee-NN7X]

Great video ..

[@SailingYachtDreamcatcher]

Any update on this build? Its been eight months since you released this video?

[@howesfull8]

Why use thickened glue as well as thinner glue? Does the thin not 'gap fill' as well? What is the open time of the glue once mixed? Nice vid.

[@lloydgoodlad3405]

Where is Lou .here in Australia we haven’t seen him for 10 months .we hope he is alright

[@martynlegg1042]

Hi Ken, can I ask how this is progressing? Any filming going on? Thanks, Martyn

[@larss592]

Where is the resr of the build?

[@fredbosch5392]

I was glued to my monitor.

[@oldwillie313]

Is this build dead?

[@fredio54]

What is the timber that you're using there? The two you mentioned weren't particularly impressive types, so not too hard to top IMO :-)

[@CorrectAgain]

I really love to surf, life made me forget how much for a long time. The problem is my closest beach is 2 hours and a 4 wheel drive track to get there. Then id need to get permits.....There has to be another way........what if i buy a sailing boat and sail down the coast to this point break iv found.....guess ill need to learn how to sail...*started watching sailing videos.......sailing is more interesting than i thought, man I love boats, I have 7 powerboats after all I think I know a lot about boats but maybe I could learn a few nautical terms so I can learn even more, maybe I could build a boat.....*watches bristol shipwrights........ok......I dont know jack lol.....................(Something thats changing fast listening to you,thankyou for your amazing chanel and patience.....)

[@MrTrapper28]

I think it’s fair to say that when the glue people left they decided to stick together.

[@mikeseawel6180]

I'm guessing this project is done since there hasn't been any activity in 8 months.

[@MR-yp7mu]

…or you can pour resin and hardener to the one mixing cup instead of transferring goo from one cup to the other.

[@gumbykevbo]

That first batch of glue got stirred with the hardener scraping stick.

[@offpherj7884]

To many clamps? That's crazy talk...............

[@thomasarussellsr]

So, who's job is it to chip the excess glue off the clamps and moulds? Do you oil/wax the clamps before each glue up?

[@billstevens3796]

Here, you lost this... "o"

[@jimurrata6785]

@@thomasarussellsr PAM cooking spray works ok on clamp threads. Furniture polish is going to have silicone, and you don't want any of that in your shop. Paste wax is too tedious for a LOT of clamps. For bar clamps I find a wire wheel in a bench grinder is fastest for me to clean them off.

[@issse82]

No moore vids?

[@Metal-Possum]

"The glue people". The only glue people I've met spent a lot of time at parks with paper bags up to their faces.

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

There's a better glue to use for laminating timber than epoxy. There's a guy building spars in Bristol Docks England would tell you the same. it's the purple muck BS1088 marine ply is glued together with, one very well trade name is 'Cascophen', it's a resorcinol/phenol/formaldehyde glue. Longer pot life, shelf life and cheaper and less concerned with ambient temperatures when working with it. But don't take my word for it, I've only been building boats for 45 years, do your own research, you'll see I'm right.

[@gary24752]

You never said what glue you were using.

[@henrycole8705]

The value of a sailboat like this must be worth million. Can no longer buy one.

[@Pewchat]

Bạn làm hay lắm chúc bạn luôn thành công nhé, Bạn Đk nhà Mình với nhé Bạn

[@MM-hb1sw]

and where protective masks !!!?!?! - not against dust, but for spraying When evaporating, epoxy causes terrible havoc on health - for the old it may not be the same - but the young

[@geneberry7114]

I like Lou but I'm glad Ken and the crew got some face time. Lou acts like he invented boat building sometimes.
