Building my steel sailing yacht Ep.40 The LAST Main bulkheads!

[@Max-re5vg]

Bloomin' marvelous Bruce........once again you've given us a Masterclass in Measuring, Marking out and cutting.......you've shown forethought and design scheming....you're a Legend in both steel and wood......and foremost.....you are an instructor....teaching others how to do this stuff......thanks for your hard work and your sharing of Knowledge....kudos to you

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Wow, I am quite humbled by your fantastic comments Max! I really do thank You and everybody else who has left their great and very encouraging comments and VERY importantly joined Mistress' journey! You are making my efforts for doing this worth it! Thanks again! 😀👍⛵

[@LadyDewBuild]

You are absolutely correct about tools, no need to throw away money for 1 or 2 cuts, besides; tools a craftsman does not make.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much for your good comments sir, much appreciated! 🙂

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Good job on the estimating the plywood for the bulkheads. The interior spaces are looking to be comfortable sizes for the interior.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Richard and yes the spaces are comfortable and this is because Mistress will be 'home', and I didn't want a boat that felt to me like I would be 'camping' 🙂

[@33lisak]

So happy to be seeing you normally again. I have missed seeing you!

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hey thanks very much Lisa, I appreciate your nice comment and it definitely feels great to be able to do good boatwork again! 😁🙏

[@br5498]

Impressive !

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Tony! 🙂

[@vancemarin8022]

I have ALWAYS believed use what you have if it works !!!

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Vance and I agree! 🙂👍

[@Americal1970]

You are totaly impressive with your use of tools. There is a old saying... " theres more than one way to skin a cat.." FYI... cat = Racoon old term You have taken on a steel boat..... I'd say you got the tools thing down.. Absolutely.. Positively. LOL

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hey thank you very much for your good and encouraging comments sir, much appreciated and re. the saying, Yes this 1 of MANY that I grew up with 😁👌

[@joepselles8202]

Hey Bruce, nice to see a new build update. Just before you started about the tools i was impressed about your quality in all the jobs with the tools and workshop space you use. A good craftsman doesn't need special tools.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thank you very much Joep, I really appreciate your detailed insight and great comments! 😀👌

[@johnbaker1039]

Don't need a track saw, just use a straight board (MDF) to run the edge along..

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Yes exactly John, as I did and do! Thanks for your comment sir!

[@yeelinli1]

Well done mate a bloody great job you are doing , its going to look awesome

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Howard, I really appreciate your good comments hey! 👍🙂

[@nena4215]

All I can say is WOW, you’ve done a wonderful job with what you’ve got! I totally agree with your thinking, too much money for tools! Although they are are nice to have, hopefully you will not need them. We all would love to have all the bells and whistles and a shop to keep them in.....if we could only afford them..... Nena California

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thank you very much Nena and it's great to hear that you, and others also, understand my thinking regards this! 🙂👌

[@Willco5114]

I like your music.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hey thanks very much for your good feedback, it does help me out hey!

[@jnsfrahm]

You’re making great progress, keep it up and you’ll be sailing on your boat in no time.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Jim, appreciate your good and positive comments sir! 👍

[@Bullshit1011]

This will be the only time you ever use that plum bob on the boat 😂, but that little laser level line projector is quite something , time to head to Bunnings !

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Yes well once Mistress is in the water these will all be redundant for sure Mike! Re. the laser level, jfyi I got mine from Trade Tools and it is great! 😀👍

[@pakratunloading]

Cudos, it is looking gorgeous! I can't wait to see the finished gem.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Todd, much appreciated! 🙂

[@GeneAPalmer]

Planning and craftsmanship meet. GREAT VIDEO!

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thank you VERY much Gene, much appreciated! 😀👌

[@ottopeter340]

Nice to see a efficient, planned and realistic approach. Its great to see so big visual change in so short time. (Whats only possible because you thought about it long time ago and e.g. already welded the brackets at the exact right location)

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thank you very much Otto for your good comments and yes, as you clearly understand, the planning was done A LONG time previously! 🙂

[@SailingYachtZora]

Well planned man. I tried my best to plan Zora out, but things didn't work out as well as yours! Be proud buddy, massive work done :)

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hey thanks Very much boat bro, I really appreciate your good and encouraging comments! And hey you too have A LOT to be proud of with SY Zora! We are BOTH getting there! 😀👍⛵

[@robinhodgkinson]

Nice accurate work. I like your methodical approach! I’m sure you’re really enjoying the fit out - seeing it all come together on the inside. Cheers.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thank you very much Robin, I appreciate your good and encouraging comments sir and yes it has been really nice to see things FINALLY taking shape on the inside!

[@philgardner3617]

Being from SA, sad to see the old Coopers cap retired. RIP 😃

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Understood Phil and also fyi I actually had that cap for 20 years!! It was a gift from a work mate when I left S.A. Thanks for the RIP! 😀👌🧢

[@sjp52047]

The 3 Ps always make a big difference. Proper Prior Planning. It's really taking shape now, and I can only imagine how you are feeling. It's been a long journey. Regards, Solomon.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thank you kindly Solomon and Yes it certainly has been a long journey,.... and there is still much to do! But that light at the end of the tunnel is visible now! 🙂👍⛵

[@BrunoWiebelt]

congratulation to the bulkheads

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Bruno! 🙂

[@mooloolahmark9807]

Hi Bruce this build is turning into a fair dinkum tour de force. Its a joy to watch the show. Do you have people come and help like Seeker Doug does? Regards, Mooloolah Mark.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hey thanks very much Mark and I am really thrilled to hear that you are enjoying Mistress' journey! No, I haven't had any help and certainly not anything like Doug has got going, isn't he and his massive project incredible?! 👍🙂

[@bjorn2fly]

Maybe a crappy idea, but if everything was designed in 3d, I assume one would save a lot of time by just projecting the drawings onto materials and cut away.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hey thanks for your comment bjorn2fly and I reckon that in this day and age you could well be correct,.... but I don't know anything about how to do this nor do I have the IT gear to do it. 🙂

[@nigelmorgan3449]

Nice job crap music I enjoy watching you do the angle of the dangle I’m a retired boily

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Nigel, I really appreciate your comments and it's great to have you along with Mistress' journey! 🙂👍
