Episode 09 - Restoring a 40' Wooden Boat ⚓

[@stangiles2001]

I love that you are keeping it original design as possible. living off grid always seems to include solar panels , after such a great job on the roof and decks it would be a shame , however it is moving forward . grand Job

[@darrylmcleman6456]

With calking the windows,it is a good plan to install them loosely first with the Sika-flex and tighten them down the next day so you have a thick gasket that wont all squeeze out. Hold the screws or bolts and turn only the nuts. CHEERS from Western Canada!

[@patchmack4469]

great to see so much love and care being put back into this old boat - nice

[@Adventure.with.Robbie]

Some great skills, and lots of hard work 💪. Can not wait to see the finished boat. 😀

[@LakesideProductions]

Thanks Robbie! More episodes in the near future.

[@supershane1960]

Mate, looking good. Really starting to take shape. Looking forward to seeing more of it completed so I can work out what each room is etc. Great job mate, moving onto the next episode... Cheers for now mate... ;-}

[@idroolt6999]

been waiting for an update for quite a while. it's good to see you haven't given up or lost interest in the ol' girl. she'll be a nice dependable boat eventually. (:

[@john3Lee]

Its good to see the progress of this magnificent 1940s boat.. I can't wait to see it up on the plane whizzing about the lake !!

[@denniscorso6864]

Great progress ,your camera work and production are exceptional, ive done wood boat building and repair for alot of years ,i always thought wood boats and wood sailboats are kinda majical somehow ,your videos/films definitely capture that ,great stuff .

[@LakesideProductions]

Thanks Dennis. They sure are. Glad to hear you're enjoying the videos

[@paulbosen]

Great so far🌝but I just noticed the sailboat that's been behind you is now visiting Davy Jones⛈

[@jasonvii]

Great to see this back, I was only thinking about it a few weeks ago

[@miguelsalami]

Looks Very Nice glad to see you back at it getting a lot accomplished keep up the good work man.

[@miguelsalami]

When I restored boats for a living I used a Rockwell model 330 electric palm sander a lot❗I saw some used ones on eBay for 39.95 very high quality work horse of a sander.

[@Sailingadventure]

Quite a large project. You`re making great progress, keep up the good work!

[@risto1068]

Nice, finally after a year!

[@giuseppepellizzari6453]

Hope to see part 10

[@giuseppepellizzari6453]

Thank you for the like

[@devinharp636]

Welcome back.. 😀 Been looking forward to your progress. Please explain the story of the sunken sailboat that in the back of some of your shots please? From Oklahoma USA 👍

[@frieda-zw6xh]

Eine schickes Boot hast du mach weiter so schöne Grüße aus Deutschland 👍

[@chronoboat11]

Maybe you edited out of sequence but you should have pulled All the windows repair sanded and painted the wood Then resealed and replaced the windows. It looks like more than once you sanded and varnished and the made repairs to areas you had already varnished I cant wait to see the outcome keep posting.n

[@gatekeeper1024]

see the yacht sank @9:00

[@decanmusic2997]

Finally!!

[@louisneale4896]

hey been recently following your progress as i have a similar project at the moment. the issue i've had is my wooden sliding doors. it needs completely redo-ing. what's the best mechanism for it to slide and for security on the inside aswell? thanks!

[@LakesideProductions]

Mine just has a regular rail which the wheels slot on to. They are really for hanging sliding wardrobe doors etc. My wheels were totally worn as they were rubbing against the screw heads. I was able to get the new wheels and brackets pretty cheap. I don't have any secure lock at the minute just a regular bolt style lock you would use on a gate or something.

[@Prol0l]

id say this boat is 30% Sikaflex :D

[@jonfife3637]

Great film work on your KZbin videos. Curious why no haul out before working on top side?

[@LakesideProductions]

Thanks. The reason for not hauling her out is due to huge undertaking that would be. We'll certainly be doing it in a couple years time. Most likely need lots of work to the hull once she is out and in a shed. Right now the mission is to get her sealed up and livable, to enjoy life aboard.

[@rjanders6749]

What's with the sunken vessel at 8:58?

[@20jpb]

Hi there and greetings from Kenmare. Whereabouts are you based? Just came across your posts and I'm enjoying your progress. It's quite an undertaking and sometimes hard to keep up the enthusiasm but every little success helps to spur you on. Kep up the good work and looking forward to more instalments.

[@mitchr8481]

Im letting myself use the google algorithm to watch your channel and for some reason they vend the videos to me way out of order, lol. It does beg the question though of how much time you spend going in circles. Doing things then later completely covering it with canvas. Perhaps this boat needed a complete on the hard year or two for the Hull and deck. Just wondering out loud in hindsight is much easier ;)

[@oldwillie313]

Didn't you just do the decks in previous episodes??

[@CadeJohnson]

if you have more sikaflex seams to clean out, heat the tang of an old bastard file and bend it 90 degrees. Grind the tip of the tang to an angle and it will be a good sharp point for stripping the caulk out of the groove. and fyi: sites.google.com/site/cabirmal/home

[@Посутидела-н5и]

Hello! What is the model of the boat?

[@LakesideProductions]

1940 40ft Seaplane Tender

[@DuaneElverum]

Seen Travels With Geordie? I think probably, but maybe not yet.

[@LakesideProductions]

I discovered his channel about a month ago. His videos are really great.

[@DuaneElverum]

Yours too - great stuff.

[@MrPetrvershinin]

first of all, you need to pull the ship out of the water onto land and examine the hull from beginning to end, and you get that you washed your eyes, and your whole face remained in mud ...

[@alberteinstein9045]

Delphinite

[@LakesideProductions]

What do you mean?

[@dianechasteinier4270]

Did you use only GH5 for this episode 9 or there is some bpmcc shots (like in your previous episodes)? (very nice video by the way 😎)

[@LakesideProductions]

I only used the GH5 for this episode, I will be using it again in future. Thanks for watching

[@dianechasteinier4270]

Thanks for your answer. You are a great artist Fionn. I try to show some of your videos to my friends and family, they create emotion and feeling to every of them. I'm not sure if you have the audience you deserve, but now you know that, at least, somewhere in the world, some people had cry or smile by watching your work 👍

[@LakesideProductions]

@@dianechasteinier4270 Thanks a million Diane. These words really mean a lot to me. Certainly motives me to keep creating

[@oldwillie313]

Yah, justt cover up the rot, it'll be ok for a month!

[@HeikoQuant]

My thoughts exactly. On the other hand, if you aim for perfection, you end up with a Tally Ho sized project exchanging your belt sander and stich saw for a complete shipyard. Sure, he will have to come back to a lot of quick fixes later on. But he will live to do it, rather than perish on the road to perfection.
