Building my steel sailing yacht Ep.41 Pulling them all out & epoxy coating,..

[@mikeskelly2356]

Sent you 5 AD, wish it was more, but I'm retired and can no longer rebuild old sail craft, watching folks like you keeps me involved. Best of luck, fair winds and following seas...Even though 72 years of experience makes me grit my teeth at times, I pause and remember all the mistakes I made when I started out. I really screwed up some jobs, but learned and did it right next time...

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thank you very much for your $ support Mike, it is much appreciated sir! It all goes towards the good support for Mistress' journey and is appreciated! And thanks too for sharing your experienced stories and it is great to have you joining Mistress' journey! 🙂👨‍🔧⛵

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Yes the time to sand and finish is tedious and slow but you only build it once and after it's done and sailing there is so much maintenance time that you will never have to go back and redo. Those plywood sheets encapsulated in epoxy will be pretty much maintenances free. Your doing it once and then your done.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much for your great comments Richard and Yes, this is definitely my thinking behind all of this effort! And thanks again for your Great Grandfathers words of wisdom sir 🙂👌

Det er ok håber du får en god dag 🎅🎅🎅😎👍

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks Michael, tak skal du have, Merry Christmas to you too! 🙂

Ultimately, it's so one can continue to sleep like a baby at night with a clear conscience, knowing it was built to last. Ranks up there with the golden rule, and leave it the way it was found 'rules for respectful living on a small planet'. Much respect.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thank you VERY much John and CLEARLY you understand=are very experienced! I have said and say that the reason that I am building the boat that I am is because I am a chicken = I want to feel VERY confident in my boat once I cast off of the shores,.... 🙂👍

[@nigelmorgan3449]

Another great video thank you

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks Nigel!

[@mitfreundlichengrussen1234]

Cool project - thx a lot for sharing.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Karl and you are welcome! 🙂

[@robinhodgkinson]

Yeah good move. Three coats really ensures a bullet proof seal. I built a glass over ply runabout ( on YT ) and the ply takes on a completely different surface feel and structural rigidity once you get three coats on. It feels like a different material. Good job. Keep it up. 👏🏼

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Definitely agree Robin and thanks very much for your good comments! Your runabout looks fantastic and clearly a high quality build including the fit out! No surprise given that you are a Kiwi! Ha! 😀👌

[@robinhodgkinson]

I probably sound like a kiwi by now having lived here for 26 years but I'm actually an Aussie - Cairns being my home town. But my kiwi mates will appreciate the sentiment - they love boats! My old Dad used to say if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well. I had fun building it, and I'd take on a larger project tomorrow - now back to convincing my wife... Look forward to following your progress. Cheers.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

@@robinhodgkinson Ha! I can honestly say that I was going to comment about, "Aussie in NZ", but you do have a very mild Kiwi twang with some words and so I didn't want to risk offending! I have a real fondness for NZ and Kiwi's/Maori's, I have travelled there twice, the first time 3 months sailing down the East coast of the Nth Isle and I have worked with so many. Apart from the weather differences (Cairns to Auckland!) I can understand the appeal of living there!

[@robinhodgkinson]

Lol, yeah you never want to call a Kiwi, Australian! Almost as bad as calling a Canadian, American : ) New Zealand's a pretty cool place to live - sounds like you've seen quite a bit. However I do miss Queensland's climate and we're seriously considering a move to Brisbane in the next year or two. Anyway love the boat, I'll be following along... Cheers

[@BuildingSYMistress]

@@robinhodgkinson Great to have you following Mistress' journey Robin and all the very best for ahead!

[@vancemarin8022]

I always like your videos, I don't comment because I have already liked the video and have nothing meaningful to say about how you are building your boat. Very rarely is there only one way to do something and you have some unique ways of solving problems which I find interesting and useful. Keep up the good work !!! Cheers from Canada..

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thank you VERY MUCH Vance and I have noticed that you do comment sometimes and I always really appreciate your good comments! Thanks for liking and for being a part of Mistress' journey, it IS much appreciated sir! 🙂👍⛵

[@scottsorby7966]

I realise that this is an old video, but Ive just found your channel. Anyway I was laughing at "this cold winter weather" while you're standing there in the sun in shorts and t-shirt Im from Scotland,, we call that summer 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cant wait to catch up, like your style and love your work

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hi Scott, I am pleased that you found Mistress' journeys and yes 😆 well understood re. our "cold" weather! Oh how we acclimatise hey! I am from Adelaide in the South where winters are more akin to your neck of the woods, ie. low grey clouds and long periods of rain, drizzle and strong onshore winds delivered directly from Antarctica, my MAIN reason for leaving 🌞🏝🏖 Enjoy catching up and thanks for your good comments 👍

[@joepselles8202]

Im telling everybody about your channel. Content is awesome and getting better every episode, real DIY with real DIY tools. Hope that you get the subscribers that belong to this project, keep up the good work!!

[@alann7974]

Please lower the volume on the music a I have to lower my volume then raise it back up when you speak. Great build BTW

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your feedback Alan and although I have always tried to put together decent videos I have had no training at all in videoing, sound, editing, production, etc. I do hope that I am improving over time and that my videos continue to improve for everybody's viewing enjoyment 😁👍

[@edwardheisterkamp7196]

One of the things I most appreciate from your work is the meticulous effort toward detail and ensuring your build is thoroughly complete. Too many projects fail when shortcuts and compromises are made. Hang in there my friend your channel will grow.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

I sincerely thank you for sharing and I also hope that your subscriber #'s keep growing and growing, you too are doing an incredible and massive project! Don't worry about the finish line, steady progress and never giving up is the way to get there! 😀👍

@@BuildingSYMistress I'll keep building for sure, but my subscribers numbers won't hold. I have other plans and they don't include weekly videos and life rolls on!

I see a lot of refits where the bulkheads are rotted because they weren't sealed on all edges. These will last a long time for sure!! Great job. Regards, Solomon

We may have different definition of "cold winter weather" ;)

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Ha! VERY true Otto and I know that it also may sound silly, ESPECIALLY when we still work in shorts and T-shirts in our "winter" here, Ha! The lower temp's do still affect some of the materials though. 🙂

[@Max-re5vg]

Thanks Bruce....another great video.....and a really good explanation of Quality Control measures during construction......it is a subtle point.........our Intellect is one thing.....but the eyes and the hands are hugely important in Design......does it look right?..........does it feel right?.........simple questions that are easy to forget.......the bulkheads look amazing...........keep working mate.....you're building a Dream......in the shape of a boat......thanks for sharing

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thank you VERY MUCH Max, I really appreciate your great and positive and encouraging comments once again! They remind me why I am doing this channel! Love your statement, "building a Dream......in the shape of a boat." Thank You! 😀👌⛵

[@chascain1]

Not sure where your located but a cross channle visit to another builder should get you both some new viewers....brupeg, life on the mold and dagmar come to mind

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks Charlie and yes a great suggestion! I have online chatted with Ross from Life on the hulls and would be keen to catch up with him, I don't really know the other channels. Let's see what happens ahead if/when I may be doing some travelling their way,... Thanks very much for the suggestions!

[@ian-c.01]

I can't see why you provided such a long explanation about such a simple decision, almost one third of the video length. Making sure the ply is adequately protected is fine but that can be explained in one sentence.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your comment Ian and so to explain there are many people from all types of backgrounds and many for different reason's who do appreciate the details, just like I have and do with many other situations including watching other youtube channels.

[@ian-c.01]

my thoughts right way which is the only way please do not deviate from your build

No argument, but it should be noted that there's often no one right way, and what is the best way is in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks very much Brian and yes I will stay on my build course, for sure! 🙂👍
