Ep 147: Making Our Boat Strong For Epic Iceberg Sailing!

[@oldschool1993]

I always smile when I hear you Brits refer to "Hoovering" , a term derived from the Hoover vacuum cleaner invented in the good old USA.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

We do the same with Biro pens which are disposable ball points from France. “Bic Biro” is another. Bic is also French.

[@ToddTalksTech]

Congrats you two! You have made every retired math/geometry teacher weep with joy.. you covered every angle masterfully.

[@thomasnewton9818]

In America, we used to have the 5 cent and dime stores. That was when I was a very young boy. I'm 64 now, and the dollar stores are much more than a dollar.

[@TheAverageDutchman]

If you keep having to hit that cut-off saw to get it spinning, I'd suggest looking up what carbon brushes the motor needs and swapping them. It can do damage if you keep running it with worn brushes and they cost under 10 GBP usually. Amazing work as always, keep plugging away at it. There's probably never going to be a day the critics will be silent, but I'm sure you'll stop hearing them as you sail off on Sarinda for her next adventure.

[@garymilstead4199]

As a man blessed with 53 years of holy matrimony I salute you both on your teamwork. You were made for each other.

[@Dean36014-]

Brilliant work. The music was very fitting to this video. Very relaxing

[@alangurman3961]

I must of missed something. What music?

[@FlyingConey]

Amazing progress and good level of craftsmanship. Wooden boatbuilding is one thing but doing it outside in the wind and the rain and the cold is on another level. It's great how you go thought this challenge with so much positive energy. I know how frustrating it can be if you want to finish a step and then it starts to rain and you have to stop. All the best!

[@renexxx2017]

Bedankt

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you so much!

[@donclay3511]

Nice music and time lapses to accompany your normal awesome banter. Keep on keeping on. :)

[@ShipHappensUK]

Glad you like them!

[@geoffhaylock6848]

Sarinda looks just a little bit better with every episode. Keep up the great work!

[@seankearney2592]

Yis are Flying along ... I'm Loving it...

[@shawnmts7109]

I'm sorry the best i can do to helps is to give you a thumbs 👍, when money is needed to but fiber on your wooden ribs. Looking good

[@nicktomlin9137]

Geometry teachers would smile with joy. Your mastery of angles is a joy to watch. She's looking incredible and will be immensely strong. Well done, you two 😊

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thanks so much 😊

[@nicktomlin9137]

@@ShipHappensUK You're more than welcome🙂

[@Peter-jo3wt]

Associated angles are always complementary. Easy peasy. But it isn't for most people, and IT IS impressive that you've got it down 😉👍

[@Dave5843-d9m]

It’s three dimensional thinking. CAD systems allow most folk to make useful stuff but most folk really do struggle.

[@Bob8091]

You are doing an amazing job. I can't be the only one who rewound to look at the before and after picture. A whole vlog of them at the end of the project would be a good thing to show what has been achieved.

[@billgolcher2537]

Awesome job I have a delta bandsaw just like yours I agree not the best but it really fools you it really stands up to the task and shine great job

[@stevejohnstonbaugh9171]

Suggestion; bring your nice compound miter saw up on deck so you don't have to walk back and forth with all these fiddly cuts. Your progress will be much quicker 👍

[@simonmercer9530]

Looking good 👍🏼

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thanks 👍

[@dennisrobbins5451]

Personally I am totally impressed with your wood work. You single handedly have replaced some much damaged and rotted wood, just WOW! Can't wait to see what the new decking looks like.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you very much!

[@brucevogel2693]

That "Before and After" images of the Bow, really brings home all the improvement which has been made. Good job!

[@TheShootinStar]

Ha! I thought he was saying "pawn shop" when he was actually saying pound shop. Here in the U.S. we call them dollar stores.

[@philroberts7238]

Just as well you didn't think he said "porn shop"!

[@dougp59]

Simon and Jemma, I just love your channel and watch it all the time. I love your spirit, camaraderie and a couple, the way you bounce ideas off of one another, and your shear genius at figuring out all the bad wood replacement, cuts, etc. As a D-Day buff, I can't wait to see your episode going across the Channel. I'm sure you'll have a full boat, and, hopefully, one of the last D-Day veteran from the British Army accompanying you two. God Bless!

[@ShipHappensUK]

We can't wait for that day either!

[@davidflamee]

It never ceases to amaze me how you transfer those angles to the wood and the saw. It's a joy to watch, and learn. Thank you to all the supporters through which this is made possible. More great progress, well done you's.

[@JohnKenIRB233]

WOW, in addition to the cutting and careful fitting, I can not imagine how you can find/afford the diverse materials you use each week. Thx for bringing us along.😊😊😊 John Ken

[@hapewe6052]

brilliant wood works! and your 3D-measuring-skills are perfect 👍😁 Best from northern Germany!

[@rossnolan2883]

Epic 😊😊😊😊

[@colin125gwr]

the pointy bit is looking good

[@ShipHappensUK]

Sure is!

[@noelbowerman1562]

Quote of the day,"not that ,the hoover"lol. I'm well impressed ,with your methods, to working out complex angles.

[@madisonbusman7688]

Should name her Perfection! Beautiful work and again great filming. 👍

[@abritishguy7295]

I was just watching the new season of RNLI saving lives at sea, and your boat is shown in the background on the first episode of season 8

[@SteifWood]

To me (and perhaps to you too) this was the most satisfying moment of the rebuild so far: fitting the blocks and leveling all the pieces down to fair and flush with deck level. mmm

[@ShipHappensUK]

I think for us the most satisfying so far is in next week's video!

[@SteifWood]

@@ShipHappensUK Looking forward ... as I always do.

[@alstonofalltrades3142]

For those who want to adjust band saw tracking without the cover being open. Just adjust the tracking while it's still. Switch it on and off and when it stops open the cover to see if it needs more adjusting.

[@Hairnicks]

You have to have a particular sort of brain to see how the wood shapes on the saw for the cuts, brilliant! I reguarly cut my mitres back to front on skirting boards and architraves, all credit to you guys, you have learned and passed on so many skills. You two are an inspiration to many. Congratulations.

[@ShipHappensUK]

😘

[@jimmy6754]

It's really starting to take place now, down to the good parts of the project, I can see that deck down in all😂fairplay to yous....... Boat🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂

[@cedricgreen8460]

I think what you have achieved so far is amazing 👍👍👍👍👍

[@kathrynaston6841]

The front of the boat looks amazing!! What a difference!

[@kimpulsipher647]

She's looking wonderful! Congratulations 🎊

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you! 🤗

[@andreamundt]

Very enjoyable episode! N-i-c-e filming! Thx so much, *= )*

Superb carpentry skills, lovely to watch your progress. 21:17 😊

[@alanf6604]

"Hang on I was going to Hoover that" .... "Snarl, Snarl Mutter, mutter" Love it. Well done its one heck of a Task

[@michaelhibbert4393]

Lovley to see her slowly coming back to life…..always look forward to your weekly vlogs

[@errolseager1292]

You 2 crack me up with your wit, usually a bit of innuendo thrown in "Turn me on Simon, not that, the Hoover" if I lived in your area I would be there helping you with this project, the work might be a bit daunting but you both appear to have fun doing it, keep up the good work.

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

You made a good job of getting that new wood to fit. Working in the cold is no fun...wear good thermals and a windproof layer.

[@johnnorth77]

Look so good 👍⚓

[@waynecummins9713]

Great work, you guys from Hampshire 🇬🇧

[@eddyhammerton3310]

great to watch your team work and Simon is so quick to work things out both of you are so practical.

[@waynerowlinson6177]

Amazing work! It's funny, I discovered this channel a while back after my wife brought up the idea of us building an old-school wooden rowboat together. I'm talking about a 15 footer (4 1/2 meters). What you guys are doing is nothing short of spectacular. Just wow! Our boat building adventure is on indefinite hold for now, but if you can do what you've done with an 80 year old ship, it gives me hope that we can make something that looks like a boat and floats.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Hi Wayne, I hope one day you and your wife do rescue an old boat! It's great fun!

[@Vegathlete]

High levels of integrity, aesthetic, functionality, commitment, and perseverance. Very nice work!

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you kindly!

[@lauralake7430]

Deck! A deck! Getting fancy, dont you think? Amazing work you two!🎉❤

[@stevenholton438]

I would definitely invest in a quality sliding bevel without the annoying bump on it, you will be needing it more than anyone else on the planet methinks! Sarinda is forging an unbreakable bond between you two...a highly enviable relationship!

[@marklapierre5629]

You two are brave souls taking on that job.

[@markk4285]

Fantastic work folks. Wonderful to see the boat get its strength back in the bow. Congratulations from Dublin. Mark K.

[@louisjadot9194]

I Luv the way you two work together, you make a good advert for marriage. Some one will employ you to for a wedding couple success story .

[@ShipHappensUK]

It's easy when your working with your best mate!

[@fonhollohan2908]

You's two are doing a fabulous job on this boat. I'm so impressed with what you've both done so far!!!! congrats. It's looking great!!! Once you get the deck on her she'll be a solid boat.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thanks so much!

[@knutarneaakra6013]

Great work great music also!😊

[@bruceyoung1343]

I’m so happy your at that point on reconstruction and improving on the deck supports. Gonna be great when The actual deck boards are getting installed so happy for you two. CHEERS

[@Videostufftas]

Great job looking fantastic 🛳️🇦🇺

[@adrianabbott4623]

I forgot to mention last time when you were talking about planking the deck. I think boats had a plank down the centre line which was about twice the width of the normal planks and was called a King Plank.

[@kevinmartin3859]

That is a grand job well done 😊😊😊

[@syzfilms]

Love love love watching you two work and joke your way thru each challenge.

[@TenaciousCovers]

Super impressed with the progress you are making and your work ethic is exemplary. And you look like you are having fun too. Looking forward to the next update 👍🏼❤️

[@davidharris3165]

Using that radial saw made me laugh! Mine sticks in the on position (potentially more dangerous) and I hit it with a bit of wood too!

[@davidbotterill7549]

That bow looks really solid now. Such skill in cutting angles. Can’t wait for the next episode. Dave Birmingham

[@garymucher4082]

It takes a combination of so many angles to make every piece fit properly. And you two know that as well and hand fit them all. That takes a lot of real dedication and finese... Thumbs Up!

[@joelkarch3538]

wow that wood is fresh!!!!! that boat ship is going to be so nice and fresh .ive been wachin a while.i cant wait too her sail!!!love you guys!!!!

[@laptopuser3323]

Gday guys

[@gregsecore9625]

you guys are doing a awesome job when I first saw use working on his boat I never thought it would turn out like it is you guys are doing that excellent job keep up the good work.

[@BartonHans]

It's freaking working out! Excellent!

[@kevinmarsden7447]

Hi I've been watching for over 12 months now you both chill me out its great to se your so lade back I've never been good with wood your both good teachers I'm. Slowly getting better. Keep up great work.😊😊😊

[@marksmith-ew7ir]

Great job slow ,but trying to get right is a task in it self considering serinda as built quick and little floors in the building wasn't a problem she done her job in past years,keep going hopefully the front deck Will be done before the Snow stops outside work.

[@prodkey]

Bravo! Once you get that bandsaw dialed in you will really appreciate it. Bands/blades have different sizes for small turning corners to “re-sawing” like you were doing. Your work is pretty darn good guys!!!

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thanks for the tips!

[@michaelgillett5477]

Hi there, Simon, it’s sliding down the actual bed used to work in a sawmill many years ago where you have a fence. If you put the fence on the bottom part of the bed, you’ll find you don’t actually slide so much. Hope this helps Michael from Hampshire

[@Tennessee101AB]

Epoxy requires wormer temperature to set up I believe

[@fishingforbiteswithmo]

Great work guys nice to see your hard work paying off 👍

[@scottsorby7966]

Totally agree with Simon, if you need safety labels and warnings then you really need to stay at home, safety starts and finishes with the person doing the work. Bow looks solid, won't be long till you're planking that area

[@stefano7874]

Bravissimi bel lavoro

[@Gregdubas69]

Looks great

[@harrisonandrew]

All those angles would do my swede in. Nice job guys.

[@jeanhawken4482]

Lovely patient work. Congratulations

[@glyndevonport7802]

Getting better all the time. An observation. When cutting a bevel using a bandsaw I find it easier and safer to have the fence on the lower right hand side of the table. That way the upper blade guard can be lower and closer to the wood being cut which helps to prevent the blade wandering. It also takes the weight of the wood rather than you having to exert pressure to hold the wood against the fence. This also reduces the risk of the blade binding within the timber due to it sliding away from the fence or too much pressure being applied to the workpiece.

[@whitby910]

Outstanding. Well done.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you kindly!

[@davidantill6949]

Great as always...well done!!!

[@keithchessun5085]

What a transformation !! Well done.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you!

[@rickswanberg4995]

When you adjust the tracking on the band saw (position of blade on wheel) the gullets of the teeth should be just clear of the side guides on the upper and lower guides. The rear guide (usually a bearing) should be adjusted so it is just clear of the blade back when not cutting. (back it off before adjusting the tracking.

[@MrDominicBrant]

Haven't been able to keep up to date and feeling a bit guilty. I'll have a super-binge watch soon. You're a very special double act. Hope the kids are doing well. Respect.

[@SteavenGilmore]

for your gaps, you could take a lot of the sawdust you are making, mix it with you epoxy, it will blend well enough to hold paint and it looks good too.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thanks for the tips!

[@jamesa7506]

You two got quite a lot accomplished in this video, well done! 👍

[@shaneneedham2259]

Amazing work I can’t believe how good it’s looking , she’s going to be a beautiful boat one day

[@chrisfairbrother9197]

Are you both are always keen to learn: the adjustment to move the bandsaw blade is called tracking, and the triangular holes you left near the breast hood are called limber holes. Keep up the good work 👍👍

[@mikakari9498]

That looks very solid! Good work! 👍👍

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@trevorpalmer1891]

Great Job!

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thanks!

[@Peter-jo3wt]

Ya need all 11 fingers🤣👍 Those tiny little bandsaws are all too easy to lose fingers on. There's virtually no room to see what you're doing.

[@johnrobbo69]

Good job there’s nothing around with a really big blade that could chop things up! Brilliant video, thank you.

[@IanDarley]
