I've been a Licensed Panelbeater for 40 years & just want to say you have & are doing a bloody good job on that repair! & the whole Boat! Not easy to form 6mm plate like that!!

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks very much

[@ThePaulv12]

My son is a welder and he says the identical thing about anything 3mm and less. Point is you get good at what you know.

[@grimreaper6112]

im a panelbeater too who cares what you are if you cant weld a bit of crap 6mill plate in a boat any man and his dog could do that WTF.

[@theQdomain]

Really enjoy your explanations how and why you are doing these jobs on the boat. I am new to your channel and find the content amazing. My family was in the offshore service industry in the Gulf of Mexico in the 70’s and 80’s where we customized some boats for sandblasting and painting the oil and gas rigs offshore. I was watching one of the older episodes about installing brackets for what you called the “hot water cylinder” and it reminded me of when one of ours failed. We sent our electrician to the local big box hardware store to pick up one and meet the boat at the dock four hours away. When he met the boat and started to unload it they noticed it was natural gas and not electric. The skipper without batting an eye, simply asked the electrician if he remembered to get a really long gas line. Turned out to be a really long night for the electrician. One of the lessons we learned very quickly was that in the salty atmosphere everything corrodes. You are making good choices choosing readily available appliances etc., (like your residential hot water cylinder.) In the USA we call them “Hot Water Heaters” (I know if the water is hot, why heat it? Right) Appliances like these only last for a couple of seasons, so make them easy to replace. The boat looks great, really like the “wings”. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks for the awesome feedback and stories Norman

[@reisoderberg9955]

You guys blow me away. Dame, the fact that you spent so much time ensuring the best quality you can possibly get out of yourself and the tools all while caring for jess blows me away. And jess I must say some of your ideas absolutely impress me and even braving illness and injury and caring for snoop dog. I can't wait to see brupeg return to the sea and live her second chance at life. Thanks for creating this virtual diary of progression over the last 6 or 7 years.

[@kourtneykerr270]

Dude, you are a BEAST! Your tireless work on this project is truly INSPIRING!!! I’ve quietly watched you for years, much,much respect!

[@macca5948]

dunno looks like the ideal cruisy job, crank out less than an hour of effort every week, almost as good as a public service job. Some of us work 40 hour weeks captaining a desk.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

What a fucking nasty thing to say! What’s going on with you that you aim to bring someone else down? Jess

[@ProjectBrupeg]

It’s really funny you think a 40hr/week desk job takes more time. Dame here, I used to work a 40hr desk job, and build the boat, and help Jess edit every week and look after a very unwell wife. All up both of us would work maybe 90hrs/wk each. Recently I’ve been able to drop my employment but not really the hours. We each still work 50-60hrs a week. For every minute of KZbin footage is normally around 2hrs of raw footage and another 1-1.5hrs of editing time. In fact two days ago I worked from sun up to sun down on the boat and managed 4mins of episode worthy footage. To assume a forty hour week is more than what we put in is cute, but not even close to reality. Dame

[@kourtneykerr270]

I’ve done this type of work “grinding/welding/problem solving” there are many who show their complete ignorance by their lack of appreciation. Again man, kudos to you!

The return of the pink shirt! My wife used to give me shit for doing stuff in formal shirts. Now I just point her here and show her that it’s perfectly acceptable to do heavy metalwork and welding in a shirt, ‘cause you said so 😂

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Agreed. It’s important to remain professional in one’s work, and dressing smart while doing heavy labour is no exception

[@maccant1343]

Dame, its Macca sorry my tongue in cheek reply about how hard you work missed the mark, problem is I'm not a comedian, I work with the homeless. I also have a son who is in his 3rd year as a welding apprentice, he works on boats, I get the effort you and Jess put in. I thought mentioning public service jobs and the fact I captain a desk would have been enough of a hint, not to mention that each video obviously spans a couple of days. You've got a fantastic sense of humor which may have influenced my attempt at the same. I guess I gotta buy something from your shop by way of apology cause I can't shout you a beer from here. Anyway I look forward to your videos every week, stay strong and keep that sense of humor. Once again sorry for the offense none meant.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

All good Macca, it’s super easy to mis context on comments. We do cope a shitty comment ever now and then and sometimes we bite when we shouldn’t have. Nothing to apologise about, we’re all good. Dame and Jess

[@DktheWelder]

Dual shield is the way to go we use it a lot at work, don’t want to sound like a know it all but here we go. You can run a lot less wire speed with dual shield especially on the vertical ups and should be on at least 25 volts . Anyways that is a lot of work and you do such an awesome job !

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Huh, I didn’t know about that level of voltage. I’ve been much lower than that. Normally run 22 for 6mm but on these ups I was bouncing between 19-20. Thanks I will have a play with this wire on some scrap and see how I go with higher bolts and less wire

[@DktheWelder]

@@ProjectBrupeg also we run co2 with the dual shield on 1.2mm wire usually and it works really well , it may be different with your setup. Keep up the good work 👍

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Yeah my machine won’t cope with anything over 1.0 I normally use 0.9 unless it’s the spool gun which will do 1.2

[@DktheWelder]

@@ProjectBrupeg also some of those dual shield wires you can get aren’t very good , if you tack two pieces of steel together it should take more to break than solid wire , kinda like how tig tack is really strong or a low hydrogen arc rod

[@jeanhawken4482]

Fantastic progress

[@kirkyorg7654]

looking good guys stay safe all

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Cheers mate

[@j.muckafignotti4226]

In my opinion, having welded a thing or two, it would have been preferable to do an interrupted weld around that plate. It reduces warpage and stress in the adjacent structure. Looks good! The keel post is much thicker material and will require higher amperage, weld stacking is a good sign of not enough heat in the weld.

[@mamamarius]

Welding masterclass with practical explanations that even this stoneage wannabee welder understands. Hats off to the windshield tarp - saw the grinder sparks blast holes through it but it did not catch fire!

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks Marius, That tarp has melted in places into one super tarp however…

[@nevilleberghofer6791]

great work guys i have watched every video that you have posted and i enjoyed all of them keep up the good work

[@aserta]

Pad welding is the best solution. It's also the simplest. You clean up, you weld, you move on. You can patch over, there's chemicals you can lather both sides of the hidden area that are heat resistant and prevent rust, but for a single patch in a single corner, it's cost prohibitive. Another method i've seen is to weld four bolts head into the wall, cut a plate of an appropriate size and then you put rubber on both sides along with heaps of paint. Over the top of that you use straps to force the plate into the bolts. This is a temporary fix, but it works. I have heard of people using underwater welding to patch holes using this method. Haven't seen it.

[@RicMyfraps]

Time to get the clippers out Hippy. 😜

[@Micington]

I haven’t finished watching yet but how the heck are you gonna weld the inside of the other side front panel??!!! Lol can’t wait to see! Keep on keeping on!

[@ianmac86]

Hey Damo and Jess. I was just wondering if anyone has pointed out that this would have been a wonderful opportunity to (at least) install the tube for the bow thruster? Just being a PITA here I am sure. ☺

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Hi Ian, no plans to install a thruster on Brupeg for the foreseeable future

[@nemodab]

great job!

[@mikeskelly2356]

Since relying on a lack of oxygen in the bow compartment failed and it rusted so badly a very expensive and time consuming repair job was needed, Would slathering the new metal in rust converter help prevent any future major rust problems, or would the follow up welds just burn it off? As to the wind issue, how about tacking 'huge' dogs (30 x 120 cm plates) to either side of the weld zone about 60 cm apart. Might involve a bit of grinding and spot welding, but it should provide a 'dead zone' to weld in when those gentle 40 kph Aussie breezes waft in to ruffle your salon hair-do...

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Maybe but it’s not a permanent fix. The permanent fix is solid plates everywhere and zero leaks

[@AW-Services]

Once the front is all welded up is it possible to mist spray the entire inside with waxoyl or a protective coating to prevent future corrosion

[@damon1588]

I don't know this boat much, but if the front is air tight as the steel rust the oxygen is consumed. So at some point there will be no oxygen left to oxidize the steel.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Exactly. That’s how most sealed tanks are in these trawlers and they last indefinitely

[@Dave5843-d9m]

A wash down with chain saw bar oil would protect the metal for next to zero costs. It soaks under a huge rust and leave a protective layer. Over time it lasts longer than Waxoyl.

[@djmini2numpty141]

back on the tools :) and heap of vid editing as well, which i must say is awesome ! . quick question from a numpty lol, and prob has been answered before, aside from no slag, why mig not arc ? ( always used arc for thicker material, probably has to do with mindset that mig wire is si thin lol. ) counting down the days till launch, well deserved guys when that day arrives !

[@ProjectBrupeg]

MIG is just as capable of doing steel up to say an inch thick. Just like a 3.2mm rod you might need a few passes but it will still achieve great penetration. That said MIG is generally used in a production environment or where you have a metric shit ton of welding because it’s just so much faster than stick. That said stick is much better in wind versus any shielding gas welding. All of this needs to be tempered with my pathological hatred of stick welding hence I will MIG in a snow storm before I attempt stick

[@djmini2numpty141]

​@@ProjectBrupeg as i pick myself up from the floor laughing "sic. pathalogical hatred ...." lol. thanks for that info, certainly has changed my view on mig capabilities, will practice the craft on my unimig 182, not as fancy as yours but should be a good starting point and one day dream of ally welding :) ( coz my boats a wee bit tinier than yours lol. Frank

[@ProjectBrupeg]

I’ve used a 185. They are reasonable machines. Likely would struggle with thickness over 6mm but great for anything under that. Good machine to learn MIG on.

[@djmini2numpty141]

@@ProjectBrupeg Def wont need to do more than 6mm for around the home so is good to know :) one last question,( and i really appreciate the time you take to answer) Dame/Jess , looking for a spool gun, what amp would suit my 182 ? ( def 182, stick/mig version) , would 150a be fine as I have really no clue lol. will be using it, eventually, for ally welding bits and pieces for my tinnie :)

[@ProjectBrupeg]

I would think so. Have a look at the amp chart in the door for alloy. That will tell you amps for a given alloy thickness. 150 sounds about right but the door chart will confirm it. You can actually to alloy with the standard MIG torch if you change to U groove rollers. It’s much more painful than a spool gun but it’s still possible.

[@bucknorris241]

Long time listener first time caller. Really enjoy the welding skill and how much time you take to explain to us plebs what goes into it. Just out of curiosity, how many hours did you spend on that big exterior weld?

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Hi Buck, all up it was a few days but that’s because I was stop starting g for things like wind or wire replacement etc. start to finish there was maybe 5hrs of welding in it as I was grinding anything I wasn’t absolutely happy with. Any time the wind blew my gas away to the point I was getting porosity would be a stop and grind out then restart, finally when I had finished I went over it with TIG so I could clean up any areas where I thought the fusion was a little low. Normally the pros would let do this level as they are better welders than me but what I lack in skill I make up for in determination to make sure it’s as good as their finished product (just slower because of rework)

[@bucknorris241]

[@wildwestcoast8095]

Also,have you been out practicing driving a big vessel or are you getting a skipper onboard. Awesome work so far by the way

[@ProjectBrupeg]

No so far we have not driven a vessel this size but boats come nature to both of us so it’s not something we have any concerns about. We have friends who will be with us at launch who run boats this size commercially if we need it but Brupeg is set up to be fairly simple to command.

Interesting watching your efforts. Just a question, how do you intend to weld the starboard (Ithink) plate on without internal access?

[@ProjectBrupeg]

That plate will be completed from the outside only. Slot welded to the ribs/bulkheads and stringer and single continuous welded to the keel and original hull plating. Will make more sense when you see it but it’s a simple enough process
