[@dammitsamm]

[@philtucker1224]

Beautiful beautiful work! I’m already feeling the magic (and love) that your parents work 24 years ago is having on you as a person and I hope and pray that you will also have the opportunity to provide that opportunity again in many years time. Live long and prosper young man 🙏👍😊

[@TheMikesylv]

When people start complaining about the new generation all you have is point to this guy

[@colinmccauley3301]

says a lot about the workmanship that put these boats together 80 years ago. pure craftsmanship.

[@MrJeep75]

Wow what a huge job

[@jacqueschauvet3744]

Beautiful job!

[@felixcat9318]

The description alone got me to immediately subscribe before I even watched the video! Good on you for taking the care to renovate this historic vessel!

[@markharden4871]

just discovered your channel. i have just spent 5yrs restoring a canal boat in france. its such a great feeling when your finally done albeit with general maintainance to do. great to see you the way you work and with such a geat attitute. enjoy the journey its all worth it .

[@wolfy1987]

What a beauty. And I'm impressed, that's a ton of tough tedious work to do

[@sk3tchimdg3t33]

From the tone i can tell that this is a passion project i wish you all the best with this endeavour

[@dandrakenholt5455]

You are a true inspiration!

[@kenolson3064]

I restored a 32 foot 1938 Atkins Cabin Cruiser in my early 20s. I reckon I spent 25% of the time fishing and Diving, and 75% with the floorboards up doing maintenance and restoration. I'm in my sixties now, and those are Priceless Memories. "West systems" made a big difference for me. Best of luck to you.

[@Arsotwe88]

Always lovely to see old boats getting a second chance. Excellent work boys!

[@tedcorey3054]

My grandfather used to have wooden cruisers back in the 60's , 3 of them I remember, I've always loved them .I passed up a 32' Owens about 10 years ago (I let my wife and friend talk me out of it ) . I've regretted not buying it ever since . Keep it up.

[@ElliotJokelson]

get ur self a multi tool and a scribe. it will make patching lumber much easier.

[@ussweeneyd]

Wonderful story. Your commitment is admirable and will result in a reborn much loved lady.

[@mmanut]

NICE PROJECT, NEVER ENOUGH VARNISH OR PAINT, GLOSS FINISH, LOVE IT‼️. GOOD LUCK, Vinny 🇺🇸

[@vincentgolden5352]

Looks like its going to be a comfy lil home/fishing boat fantastic. Takecare and keep safe

[@bwuepper439]

I admire very much your determination and dedication to this project. Keep up the good work, some day you will be rewarded with a boat you can use for the purpose you originally intended.

[@chetblue4146]

Nice work don't stop.

[@somerandomprojects3243]

Great to see you back on the boat!

[@samrouse7563]

holy crap that's quite the job

[@MrJeep75]

Gorgeous job

[@johnerdmann2700]

GREAT JOB-HELPFIL TOO!!!!!

[@mikep60]

Damn that one board looked like termites holding hands

[@nealrobinson7054]

I have owned 3 wooden boats, here in Norway there are as many ideas as to how to treat rot as there are owners, my advice is to use a mix one third turpentine, linseed oil, and something called tjære , when I translate it its called tar, (not asphalt ) keep up the good work (thumbs up)

[@normanmerrill1241]

Great project...excellent work...

[@dwsinclair5282]

Good job bro I’m jealous.

[@freespiritnufc5661]

Born Again Boat Builder!!!

[@SailingYachtZora]

Good to see you back at it.

[@offthekirb]

This is so cool!

[@miguelsalami]

Hi there thanks for another update👍 Not sure if you have ever heard of this stuff but it's called "Tiger Hair". We use to use it for all kinds of repairs on boats like this it's in a gallon container & comes with hardener it's a thick fiberglass mix & works perfect for vertical repairs like this & doesn't run, dries rock hard. Keep whittling away at it mate, Rome wasn't built in a day👍👍💛edit; What would be nice is to build some sort of tarp roof to keep the boat out of the elements year round. This would greatly reduce the amount of exterior re-work to give you more time for interior work. Just a thought.

[@LakesideProductions]

Thanks Miguel, I'll check this stuff out sounds like good tack. You're right a tarp would certainly help keep the elements at bay. I'll see how I fair out by Winter my aim is to be living aboard through the Winter even if it's rough and I can tip away at the interior. Thanks for the encouraging words. New episode will be online shortly.

[@MehrTV.]

it is very nice bro

[@philmurphy3549]

Great channel and job your doing dear boy 👍☘️

[@jonathoneadie-simcock8095]

He is amazing

[@billmoran3812]

Double planked hulls we’re built with a layer of canvas between the planking layers. This canvas was set in bedding compound to create a waterproof layer. Over time the bedding compound dries out and the canvas will rot as water works it’s way into it. The only solution is either fiberglass the outer surface of the hull or pull the outer layer of planking and the canvas and replank the outside of the hull set in epoxy and fiberglass the exterior surface.

[@Brewdiss]

An ice pick is a great way to discover rotten wood. I don't know anything about wood hardener. I do know about rotten boats, sinking faster than you can get a lifejacket on. 🤘😎

[@leevandyke8524]

You need a low pressure, paint sprayer, it will cut your paint.ing time to 1/4 , of course 1/4 more time to clean up the sprayer

[@ML-rm3vk]

fine work thank you fok r the video.

[@andrewgervais3039]

beautiful camera work dude.. Learning filmmaking myself right now and learning just how much goes into filming while trying to work. Keep it up buddy!

[@LakesideProductions]

Thanks Andrew. Best of luck with your film projects. I look forward to seeing your work

[@johnlinehan9053]

Hoovering 😀

[@robertseth3118]

Put five layers of varnish first year it lifts so we used linseed oils this did the job

[@jackfntwist]

Good video. You just showed up in my recommendations. I follow some similar channels. If you're interested in feedback of what I think would make your videos better (for me): kill the massage music (all music), make it more personal - tell us more about the boat/project/you, show us more of the boat, - tour, what's been done, what needs to be done, show us more of you, too ;P

[@robertseth3118]

Hi had a 36 ft Boat built by frank mallard 1930 name noha Lots of tlc and fishing from it on the river AT HAMPTON COURT MISS IT NOW

[@woodydowler1594]

When are you to do some more updates looking forward to them

[@LakesideProductions]

Since I am away from the boat I will release a questions and answers video this Saturday. Thanks for watching

[@Dave_1966]

You’re doing a great job mostly, do you have anyone you can ask about the correct way to use your tools? Using that electric plane on the tiny piece of wood in a metal vice is a big no no, some of the hand tools you have deserve a well earned retirement, you can pick up a decent set of screw drivers for next to nothing. I’m going to put some money on you PayPal towards a tool fund 😊👍

[@philtucker1224]

He has his Father helping and advising him. That, to me, encapsulates all of the magic that this series requires. Live long and prosper buddy🖖

[@syberjamie]

You know better than me but...you sand a ton off your layer of polyurethane before adding another. I thought you just needed a light sand to create grooves to hold the next layer polyurethane. Looking good!

[@clayfarnet970]

Looking good. Is your plan to place a teak molding strip where you were filling the holes above the windows? It will be awesome when finished. 👍👍👍

[@LakesideProductions]

Cheers Clay, originally hockey stick shape strips were used in places and I'm reluctant to use them as they can trap water. But now that you've suggested teak I could run it down to size and route the edge. I'll have a think and research what shape strip would works best. Progress is definitely being made these days, she's coming together nicely. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@nickcsuki8123]

I used to wonder why boats where always called female names. Now I know, because men take care of them with everything they have... Beautiful work...

[@peterfarrell9187]

to bad you could not spray paint this boat much more effective.

[@keliweisgerber3896]

I'm sure you will find amazing woodworking plans on Woodprix.

[@bigjagjim]

Who built it ? British power boats

[@taylor152]

hey this is so useful! what products are you using to flesh the rotten wood out?

[@hughroney6342]

Got news for you, 20 years is not really old!!

[@LakesideProductions]

What is 20 years??

[@hughroney6342]

You said the table was old at 20 years, which is no where near being old for a table!

[@izumi_xyz3375]

Saw dust

[@knightclan4]

Music sounds a bit like the original Blade Runner score

[@TheDangerBuck]

Epoxying up little stacks of wood, just like fibreglass

[@paulfreegard1271]

lead paint

[@LakesideProductions]

I'm not touching it therefore it's stable and doesn't pose a problem

[@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 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 NO COOL !!!!!

[@dee106ful]

Epoxying the hull isn't a good idea. Firstly there's no need for that on a wooden hull. First issue f you get the slightest ingress of water it's going to encourage rot in a big way, Wood needs to breathe If it goes rotten soggy or spongey you need to operate. Cut out and re caulk properly it will last a 100 years. You may not have the skill but you'll learn after a few mistakes. This isn't a fibreglass boat stop repairing it s if it were. Yeah it might float but all your efforts and good hard effort is producing dodgy workmanship.

[@Joel-ho8xx]

Wood boats are money pits.

[@thomasritter3159]

Totally the wrong way to use risen. Rotten wood should always be removed and replaced so should any cracked or broken boards or planks. Adding risen over bad wood is begging for trouble down the line and creates a nightmare for a professional shipwright. The horrible putty on the potholes ( windows) has got to go. Justvspend an extra dollar an get the proper gaskets/ seals.

[@mkbman45]

Says the guy sitting on his rump watching someone else working...

[@timmywilson]

Sorry you can’t call this restoration. Call it a patch up job and that would be more appropriate

[@oldwillie313]

This is NOT how to do boat repair! Whiteness is the failed work that was done a short time ago. Don't do this on your boat!

[@LakesideProductions]

At least comment some constructive criticism if you're going to comment. You seem to just post negativity, surely it would be better to give some advice with that.
