Ep 141: Port Beam Shelf - A More Efficient And Organized Way

[@planecrazy9208]

Just ignore the armchair critics; to see what you have already achieved you have proven your proficiency. Good luck always and I look forward to seeing Sarinda gradually come back to serviceability.

I’m 82 years old and that was the loveliest put down I have heard In a long time. Cements the delight get from watching you two. Love you both.

[@minlillemusikkboks]

Fridays are not complete without a new episode of Sarinda restoration! Watching and learning from the Oslo area in Norway. Enjoying every moment, and getting my language skills updated in the process. Could not be better.

[@richtea8721]

You guys are awesome! Don’t let the negative comments get to you - it’s all jealousy!!!

My wife is left handed and I am right and together we built our own home it’s wonderful to have a wife that is willing with you, we are both in our eighties now and. Working to take of each other , love your show and wish we could be there to help. Love Marc and Bonnie Northern California

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, Simon and Gemma, I just love you guys. Don’t worry about the idiots that sit in the lounge chairs and keep commenting about something they probably don’t even know in like about , I just appreciate how committed you both are so restoring an 80 year old mate that probably most people would just think a set fire to it but thank God we have people like yourself I see past all the rot and problems and just don’t want to restore it once again. I love and appreciate you both. Don’t worry about the D heads Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia from the big island. If I was in England, I would come and help you both

Well done...I've followed your channel since the beginning. Do yourself a favor block the naysayers..you don't need them

[@repairrestoreandrebuild8974]

Loved your rant. Annoys me how so many youtubers constantly defend their actions to comments left by people quite likely not even subscribed, much less regular watchers. I knew, from several previous videos, that you made the planks tall to cut back later. Shame that everyone is an expert and feel they must critique the content. Constructive criticism is one thing, but if they don't know jack about your work or future plans, they should keep their opinions to themselves. You both are doing a fantastic job.

[@homeviewing8700]

I am so with you I’m a lefty and all tools are right, and you get a face full of dust the buttons are on the wrong side. So people call us kack handed but we’re actually smarter because we adapt and are more ambidextrous 😂😂

I like watching you guys doing what you enjoy. I hope you realise how lucky you are.

[@waynes.3380]

You two are doing great, negativity is repealed with silence. Pay them no mind. And just crack on 😊😊😊💯👍

[@nicholasperry2380]

11:20ish Gemma I'm completely with you, lefties have to work harder or think a bit - one is easier. The pair of you have much more patience than I'll ever have and are doing very good work. Hammer on hammer is fine IMHO as I've been doing it for years with no issues, the force most apply doesn't approach that needed to cause failures unless using cheap imported tools which can be brittle. Painting the end grain is also fine stuff Dad did 30 years ago is still solid, once trimmed and epoxied it'll outlast most of us. Still stunned at how much crumbly timber you're still finding - good job it wasn't left a couple of years longer.

[@andrewtognola1116]

I’m left handed and an engineer and no right handlers appreciate how much more difficult it is to use all these tools that are designed for right handlers , even a simple thing like a knife !!!!!!

[@77marioland]

Common sense isn't always so common, you only validate criticism by addressing it. You two are truly lovely people, you entertain and help people make the average day become better. I wish I could follow my own advice, but I personally validate criticism all the time... mostly while I test how loud my voice can go.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Well said!

[@johnclark2660]

About being left handed and can't write right handed; I too am left handed writing but ambidextrous on most else. Some years back I developed an essential tremor in my left hand and could not write legibly, with a lot of effort and practice I can now write legibly in my 70's. You two are doing great. Thank you for your labor of love. 😎

[@Dplesaux]

Just would like to say I had the opportunity to meet Simon and Gemma at Southampton boat show on Friday 22nd and it was great just as funny in person as they are in the videos you two are doing an amazing job 😊 unfortunately I lost my wife 6 weeks ago unexpected so I don't know what to do with my self at the moment but if I'm able to help by all means let me know 😀

Lefties are the most gifted people jem I was told this by my late father. As he could write left and right and kick with both feet. as you said most hand tool are designed for the majority. It's quite frustrating so have to adapt.Back in the day school books scissors are the worst thing ever.😫 but hay ho. As a welder /fitter it's fun when the same trades look at you gone off cos it looks like we are working backwards to a right-handed person. 👍👍to all the lefties out there 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍻

If you put a handle on a thick punch you would have something close to a whisp A genuine shipwrights tool for doing exactly the job you where using the punch for

[@CassiarClan]

Try getting yourself a dead blow hammer to use when hitting cold chisels and punches. It helps to reduce the bounce effect and makes it easier to keep a hold of the punch after striking it.

[@Vara169]

We have a huge black back gull, in NZ that we have trained to come on our front lawn. He sits on a lamp post, when we wave bread in our window, he comes immediately. A magnificent bird, like a small albatross, but very aggressive and territorial, so we named him Boris. He attacked a drone flying around. your wonky seems quite tame.

very true Gemma - i have met a lot of people who are way too bright for their boots but do not own any practical skills or common sense - in fact many years ago i did test my theory, one of my friends was helping (loosely speaking) i gave him a nut and bolt, he just looked at me, what you want doing, i just laughed, most people would play with it, put the nut on the bolt i watched a trainee engineer go through the entire tool box looking to see what tool he could use to remove a split pin that was all bent up, the answer is simple, just use side cutters, (wire cutters) great job guys, all coming on nicely

[@talibirkmanis5727]

[@112462112]

Because I am the type of person who has little tolerance for people who sit on the sidelines and try to tell you how to play the game, I assume that you guys probably have private sessions where just the two of you just GO OFF on these sideline wankers. IF that is the case (and I really hope it is) I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall for one of those sessions and cheer you both on as you verbally ROAST some of these goobers. Seriously, how small do you have to be to nit-pick other peoples efforts so you can feel better about being a bench warmer? You guys are awesome. Keep up the awesomeness and cheers from across the pond!

[@MrMattDat]

Love the feedback on your approach to painting. I was just thinking, "why is she painting the whole plank? They'll be cutting off the top in a bit". I guess the only reason you would paint it all (including the end grain) is if it will be exposed to the rain for too much time.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

There’s probably no certainty where the cut line would need to be. So paint the lot.

[@richardknott2021]

Great back ground music..great video.

[@scottsorby7966]

That punch is mild steel Simon, you can weld an arm onto it easily, I cant remember wether it was Acorn to Arabella or Tally Ho but the guys on there used a bigger version to drive the brass through the frames. I said my peace previously about my own eye injury and thoughts on Myth Busters, but I certainly don't agree with people giving you folks a hard time about it either. Just be safe folks, that is all I can ask of you both.

[@eleanorchapple8772]

I watch you because you are new to all this ship repair. With you I have learned ship terminology, the basic structure of a boat, how to install frames on a curved surface, and about gigantic engines, bilges, soles! decks, caulking and so much moreI and besides all this I have learned a new language 😃from the Wirral area. I have laughed and cheered you on loved the freedom you allow your kids to be themselves and your unwavering support of them. God bless you. I have enjoyed every minute of your channel.

[@ColinWetherelt]

Old carpenter here - - - done is good but if you wanna get picky - - . End grain is more susceptible to capillary action, where moisture wicks into the wood. That's how the tree gets a drink when it's growing. Species makes a difference. Example, red oak is so porous you can actually blow soap bubbles thru a short stick. White oak has capillary nodes that block the wicking action. Mahogany is even more resistant and of course Teak or Ipe are almost impervious which makes these types the preferred choice for exterior. If'n ya got a brush in your hand and it's handy, a dab on the end grain is a good thing.

[@stevenborman9110]

I think you should set it up in the workshop with an engine that does nothing but bang 2 hammers together and set it up with live feed :)

[@LokiOdinson-fz8ps]

Dumb idea

[@stevenborman9110]

bet you are a barrel of laughs on a night out. How many people in the world use hammers, millions, how many of them bang hammers together, millions, how many hammers actually get chips flying off, 100's. It's a could happen thing. @@LokiOdinson-fz8ps

[@johnskelton5683]

Thinking way back when, we carpenters say, "they don't build them like they used to", that's a good thing because today given technology with modern day technique and fasteners, the structure is in more respects built better and stronger! I would think the same applies to boats. What a great reconstruction you both are doing on this wonderful salty old-school vessel. ⛴️

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Epoxy on the ends of those frames that stick up isn't neccessary, but I'd do it simply because I'm paranoid about such things lol. If hitting hammers together made them explode, then surely nails, punches, chisels etcetera would be blowing all day, everyday. It's an old wives tale and without foundation (unless there's something seriously wrong with the way the hammer was made). You could get a pizza tray and screw onto the crossbar on top of the bowsprit for a feeding post for Wonky. Seagulls are rats with wings, but I prefer them any day over pigeons and ibises. Audio went to mono from 15:59, came back at 21:47. Luckily you've been able to pick and choose alot of your wood to avoid knots and voids. Mahogany became scarce as the war progressed and they switched to larch in later models, which made them fairly leaky and hand softwood decking. I think a lot of the later refitting on Sarinda was approached with a "near enough" attitutde. Maybe not by the owners, but definitely by the yards. Keep of rolling. It's all coming together nicely.

[@jdwkansas]

Week after week I'm impressed with the continued effort you both put into this project. Most folks would have gotten bored and gone back to having a "real life" long ago. It's a great project and I enjoy coming along for the journey. Best of luck.

[@billgolcher2537]

Both of you are doing an Amazing job take care

[@stephengentle2815]

The damaged screw problem is why we switched from Phillips or Pozidrive to Torx head screws at the last two companies I have worked at (one of them was making satellite antennas for military ships). Everything had to be 316 (made the mistake of using 304 once, had to replace several hundred screws because of that), and after a bit of time at sea, the screws would get a bit gunked up, and you always get a couple of Philips screws that would get stuck enough that you’d strip it trying to get it out. For Torx you need the right sized driver bits (we standardised so we only needed three sizes) but provided the right sized driver was used, we pretty much never stripped any Torx screws’ heads.

[@danielmeisel1195]

I love what U guys no matter which Hand U use skip Sun City AZ

[@neillamontiii2911]

FYI: They make, or you could fashion your own, punches with handles that allow you to set nails without whacking your fingers...

[@mikeskelly2356]

You can grind a slight 'cone' shape on the face of the punch so that it now has a shallow point on it. The point will keep the punch from sliding around and the small dimple it leaves on the copper nail head won't affect the holding power of the fastener. I used this method to set 20 penny nails without denting the surrounding wood. 🤔

I’m enjoying your work immensely, particularly the Captain Pugwash names that were sexual double entendres. Master Bates, Seaman Staines, and Roger the Cabin Boy were great fun for a youngster in the late fifties and early sixties.! But I digress. The prime reason for this comment is for Gemma. I am English but living in Ireland with my Irish wife and three daughters. I have noticed that many of the Irish shops have a surplus of left handed hammers which would be a tremendous help for you, and would undoubtedly significantly increase your pace of work!

[@eddyhammerton3310]

Great work you two lovely to watch you working together its better than any soap .

[@user-rs2ue3rs7y]

to me its refreshing to see you two making a go of this project and occasionally doing some things that are mildly risky, any common sense person knows you know what is safe or not, or wasteful or not, this is not a factory production boat. i follow several other brits on KZbin and have noticed that they are overwhelming in their excessive worrying about safety at all levels of doing something, and they will alter their way of doing something because of it, but for no good reason to do so. those folks must be highly stressed out.
