The file you used was a rasp, not a bastard file. Great job you two!

[@whitneylake2107]

I love this channel ! It is not just a boatbuilding adventure, it is an entertainment asylum !

[@mikeleckey8634]

Why didn't you butt join the longitudinals on top of a beam? It would be stronger and invisible from inside the boat.

[@theconfessionsof_a]

That Bastard! But enough about the fly in Simons brew…. Great work.

[@thebermudaangle9958]

🎉Things are coming along sooo well you two!! What a fantastic team! 🎉🎉🎉

[@theunbeardedbrother]

Glad Si didn't miss that layup comment on "resting your wood outside"! LOL Gem just lines them up for him. HAHAHA

[@tompena7487]

I think your boat with character is worth more then a super yacht . Thanks for sharing .

[@nicksearle3677]

I bet you’re already ahead of me on this but many fires are caused by wood dust in a vacuum cleaner, hope it gets cleaned out regularly. Beams are looking great. I remember using tons of masking tape on deck beams, especially when you paint the underside of the deck! Hope you bought shares in scotch tape. Keep up the good work.

[@waynehelsel3949]

Could you get a couple smaller tarps to put below to catch the saw dust

[@davekimbler2308]

I just knew in my heart that it would take at least 2 more weeks to see a new deck but what the hell ....... carry on ! lol. I may never see her going to sea at my age but ive been here from the beginning so whats a few more years , right ! Are you replacing the anchor locker bulk head ?

[@momorrison5188]

that file Simon is using that rough is a rasp file for aluminium or wood

[@mikef.1000]

Wow... lucky you caught that fire! **You also need to be careful when vacuuming up flammable stuff... because if you get any smouldering stuff into the vacuum cleaner, it basically turns it into a little BLAST FURNACE and that can quickly get out of hand. Don't ask me how I know...

[@pamt7740]

Great job!!!!! Sarinda is smiling for sure!!!! 😊

[@iainwilson4744]

Your progress is staggering, and she is looking beautiful. Thanks for sharing every week. Can't wait to see the deck on.

[@dcallan812]

Just imagine walking to the front bit and not ending up inside. 👏👏 So much better and she will be water tight. great update 2x👍

[@realamerican6101]

It is so great that the boat found the people to fix her like new. Somewhat but it being fixed with love to the Sailers that where her crew.

[@donaldslider8650]

Check the inside of the vacuum cleaner also to make sure all the embers are out 😊

[@anthonyneumeister2760]

Amazing job! You both continue to amaze us with your passion.

[@rictecilder]

Love the new deck shape, nice rounded deck instead of the flat military one.

[@lawgoch]

The very solid sound of the nails going through the knees was extremely satisfying. 👍

[@johnmorrison1180]

Here in Australia that bastard is called a wood rasp, a carpenters tool, the bastard is a medium file for metalwork, a fitters tool.

[@davidlindsey4237]

hoping you guys get her stable...... love your guys' channel...... got to root for the lil guy ....

[@eddyhammerton3310]

never tire of watching you two far better than any soap opera its great viewing as a once keen model maker just love watching you crafting the timber into shape

[@samphillips8322]

Regarding the 4K resolution, had a look last week on the big screen TV. "Just like being there." Brilliant!

[@Guvnor100]

Great stuff, but cut those rebates in two passes with the router. Not only will you extend the life of the router and bits, you'll get a better finish and reduce the risk of hot embers falling in your dust.

[@clivesheppard8432]

I guess really your "longitudinal" would be a stringer unless it surrounds supporting hatch or other opening or superstructure when it would be a carlin. A bastard is also a rasp as well as someone who steals your beer!

[@gordonagent7037]

Guys I know nothing about Saving a boat like this but if I was going to tackle it I think I would go about it exactly as you do as it seems so common sense. Admire your dedication and patience, you guys are unreal

[@billburkart9087]

I heard Gemma told Simon he had a face like the back of a boat. He replied with a Stern look. Dad Joke lol.

[@ShipHappensUK]

😂😂😂😂

[@sportsmancraft1]

Yes I routed a big piece of Iroko timber and found multiple smoldering spots. Seem iroko is especially prone to that.

[@gaffer6846]

It’s looking amazing. What a time it’s taken to get here. So much work but done amazingly. The love you have shown to get the old girl a new lease of life.

[@davidflamee]

Another great step forwards for Sarinda and a learning curve for you's moving ahead. Absolutely brilliant progress. You nailed it!!! (no pun intended).

[@juliedouglas2888]

Great job guys, another Friday treat for us all................love it.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kathrynaston6841]

The peal ply stops that HAZE that forms on fiberglass as it cures that must be sanded off prior to the subsequent layer being added.

[@claudeross126]

Nothing wrong with a bit of character on the beams 😀

[@rogerhiggins6599]

Now I see your doubling up will be super strong .Awesome work

[@1425race]

You two are really becoming master boatbuilders although I did question your horizontal scarf joint on the longitudanls. Wouldn't it be better to butt join the boards in the middle of the deck beam cuttout rather than in mid-air? The load pressure is downward and even with an underboard you are not adding anymore strength. Another tip to fix Jemma's deck beam chip. Save some of that fine sawdust you've "hoovered" up, mix it with clear resin to thicken, slap it on Simon's chip.cure, sand and 3 coats of varnish and you'll never see it.

[@101egals]

Trying to router out too much of the wood at one go. Try a shallower cut at a time, then that way you're not asking to much for that cordless router.

[@philroberts7238]

A heart-warming victory. Congratulations from Melbourne!

[@dandersonjr]

Looking good. I've been waiting for this moment for quite some time but obviously not as much as you two have been. Thanks

[@motortowncuriosites7005]

I have been watching since the begining. It is amazing how far the two of you have come with the project.

[@acsberean4092]

Good job. Your persistence is paying off!

[@jakleo337]

All in on a huge project that would split any marriage apart like dynamite. Yet you two are loving it and having the time of your life. It's a beautiful thing to watch.

[@stevejohnstonbaugh9171]

I agree with you! Quite an extraordinary couple

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

While the hot cutter on the router can start a fire in dry sawdust or shavings... Sparks can cause a dust explosion in an enclosed space. Damp sawdust as it drys compost heats and can also cause a fire.... So hoover it dry ....store it in a metal bin or barrel with a lid and if you wet it ... Wet it to a slurry its heavy and messy buy safe. I know a violin maker who made that mistake and lost his workshop and nearly his whole house..🔥

[@laurencemorgan2277]

Looks absolutely awesome. I've been watching you from the start. it's an epic amazing journey you are on. Tiny bit of advice to make your life a bit easier. Take shallower cuts with the router.

[@alangurman3961]

Guys, watch that lithium battery. It looked in very poor shape. Remember your lovely wooden boat. We are having heaps of house fires here in Australia due to lithium batteries.

[@fat_biker]

My garage burnt down in February due to a tool battery going critical on charge,& it took half the interior of my house with it. In future, once the insurance company has rebuilt it & I replace all my tools, I'll go for a steel fire &heat proof box for Lithium Ion batteries - I can recover from smoking out my garage with toxic fumes, but living in a hotel is getting very old...

[@garyshearer0]

@@fat_biker been remodeling my interior for 4 years. paying my parents rent. whole life gonna be set back probably a decade after I recover financially. dont charge batteries inside of any sort.

[@kimkeam2094]

Agree totally, just modifying a steel toolbox with gypsum fire rated sheet inside as a storage and charger box for all my batteries as it is really becoming a concern with the lower quality batteries starting to appear everywhere. At least it is much safer than taking a risk. Please consider making one for Sarinda - your safety and investment are important.

[@Davidcallard]

I don't trust the damned things. Now we are getting warnings and recalls in Australia on the big ĥousehold storage batteries. Not acceptable 😢. 21:28

[@fat_biker]

@@Davidcallard You almost certainly wouldn't want one of those giant propane tanks inside your house either, because of what the consequences would be if it went wrong, even though humans now have about 200 years of experience with steel pressure vessels & valves & all the ways they can go wrong. Maybe when they have 200 years of experience with new battery chemistries & constructions, we can stop worrying about them spontaneously destroying everything flammable near them unexpectedly...

[@billmeldrum2509]

You guys are truly inspirational. And basically fearless. Well done! 🇨🇦

[@bobmay5892]

8.33 Rasp.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

If it's for only wood it's a rasp....if it's the coursist metal file it's balled a hand Bast@@d or Bast@@d cut file.. and they are usually flat on both faces though you can have half round and round or rat tailed one's.

[@denniswray470]

What wonderful progress on the deck you are a great team.

[@waynes.3380]

She is coming along fine

[@javiera.5844]

Muy buen trabajo en esa cubierta, gracias por el vídeo, saludos desde el País Vasco.

[@rickwaddell4962]

ear protection!! Never lift a router off the work piece without turning it off first. My lesson was losing the tip of a finger past the nail bed. Routers are very dangerous.

[@trevorpalmer1891]

That file is a rasp!

[@captainkevhauraki]

That was a rasp, bastard is course one for steel ..rasp is for timber

[@glenlockyer775]

Get yourself a millencut file....eats bastards and rasps for a snack! (And good for both metal and wood)

[@divarachelenvy]

So glad to see you both beaming ...

[@TheByard]

I was going to say it needs a bit of distress so it doesn't look like new, then you two said the same. Looking forward to seeing the ply on then her lines will jump out at us. Take care out there.

[@assassinlexx1993]

Your beams are wonderful. Even the chipped tooth one . Good idea to spray down for hot spots. Will not be long before all your hull stable cable spider web will not be needed.🎉 With a rain proof roof deck.

[@austin12ascot]

I am so impressed. You two are real achievers.

[@dr.duly.6926]

You could cut a butterfly shape for your joints.( Bowtie shape)

[@earlaagaard8175]

[@danacoyle1826]

In my part of the world that kind of a coarse file is called a rasp

[@jonathanbmcdonald9245]

Next time on Ship Happens its clean your boat time😅😅😅😂😂😂

[@jamesforehan2809]

I think Leo would like the varnish! I know I do.

[@buffplums]

1:40 you know, when you see how good that new beam shelf and all the ends of the frames, the gaps for the gunnel strips and the joints of the deck beams. It just looks incredible. When you look back to the first videos and seeing the first work carried out replacing the rotten frames, showing the rotten beam shelf it just seemed such an impossible task, I was thinking “where is the strength going to come from to hold together a ship that once had few structural members but now has many fractional parts. But the reality is, it’s probably a lot stronger and secure now than ever. I really don’t understand where you both get your inspiration and energy from, well I do but I’m blown away. Literally.❤❤❤

[@fredjcarss7788]

Brilliant. Throughly enjoyed this episode.

[@barrymayson2492]

Great video again, learning as you go. The smouldering sawdust is a definite thing you need to check. I worked part time as a security guard at a scrap yard. One day they had an boat in to cut up . When doing the rounds i saw smoke coming from the planking on the boat in a few minutes it burst into flames, I put it out with fire extinguisher. It seems a cutting torch was being used and a spark had smoulder under the decking. They had finished two days ago as it was a weekend.

[@RPMcMurphy-k9l]

You’ve got some bottle that’s a huge job your undertaking 👍

[@WimvdBrink]

Just great to see this progression on the deck, love how you 2 work together.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thanks so much!

[@wakeupnews3242]

just a quick one,take less out of the cut when using a router, a few mill at a time is best,saves the cutting edge on the bit as well,keep up the good work

[@jeepman5982]

Great work, but I'm a bit confused as to why the first center board wasn't cut to length so that the join would be in the center of the crossbeam. That way any join would be invisible from inside and supported.

[@chrisroberts2266]

yeah it probable would have made more sense to have joined it on the forward bulkhead beam. but their boat and their choice to make

[@Ervs-33]

Are they not going to double up the board and cover the splice? I'm basing this on what was done for the side pieces...

[@kolingro3776]

[@gregbolitho9775]

Nice goin m8s, excellent work. Fly in ya brew, its ok, he wont drink much, he was probably tryin to do the back stroke anyway!

[@haydenwatson7987]

So exciting to get to the foredeck. Cannot wait to see next week's episode. One thing I would do in cutting the notches for the longitudinals is to add a sled to the bottom of the router. I have the same model and it has a removable plastic shoe on the bottom. Take that off and get four longer screws the same size and then bolt a board that is at least 2x the length of the slot to the bottom of the router. That way, it will always span the full gap and be fully supported on both sides.

[@SavingMaverick55]

Great work, guys! I believe you could technically call those longitudinal centerline planks "king planks" although AFAIK that term usually refers to the centerline planks of traditional caulked wooden decks.

[@garyhaines6632]

Finger joints is the best way , If that was mine I would use dowell joint

[@WîlliamWard-w6z]

Using copper nails to join your deck beams to steel or cast iron corner brackets creates contact between two dissimilar metals. Electrons will flow from one metal to the other - a Galvanic current - this leads to corrosion at the junction and eventually destruction of the joint. And if there is any moisture present from leaks or condensation, it gets even worse - you've built a battery. Maybe you should switch to a steel or a stainless steel fastener more like the bracket material instead of copper to reduce the Galvanic potential. Maybe a marine engineer could suggest a better fastener to use. I love your work and work ethic and would hate for you to get bitten by this issue down the road.

[@jackzux9362]

Of course. Copper must not be combined with steel or cast iron, as this will result in intense corrosion processes. The brackets should be screwed to the wood using steel, preferably galvanized screws. Stainless steel screws should not be used here.

[@kirklaplace5013]

You are 100 percent correct, I hope they get your input before they bury this in Ply...

[@akilby8022]

Amazing woodwork 👍👍

[@ElectroRiderSN]

The coarse file is known as a "mill file". Used to remove the glass-hard mill scale from hot rolled steel prior to marking out.

[@markamcampbell5795]

leave the fly in that is good protein.

[@Davidcallard]

As we do in OZ! Check out our Australian wave! NB. It has nothing to do with the sea!

Make sure to empty the vacuum cleaner before you leave the boat vacant. A smouldering ember can be fanned into flames, fed by the oxygen sucked in, then spread slowly after the machine is switched off, eventually bursting into flames hours later.
