Hallberg-Rassy 312 "Ellös":HOW TO FIX A DENT IN YOUR WOOD FORNITURE

[@mikewillis2934]

Excellent workmanship. Many years ago I attended a furniture restoration course. To mend a deep scratch we were taught to use a very damp cloth and a hot iron. The steam penetrates the wood fibres and causes then to swell. In principle no different from what you did, just a bit quicker. Thanks for sharing. Mike

[@sea4see]

Thx Mike!! Many way to get same result!!!

Gabriele, thank you for sharing your excellent skills. I know how much work it takes to produce the videos, plus your amazing work on the boat. I love listening to your accent. I'm Italian too, but I'm from the USA. I'm also working on my old sailboat and I've learned so much from you. Some day I'd love to come to Italy to meet you and shake your hand. Thanks again brother

[@sea4see]

Ciao Jim this is true!! Great let me know when you come to Italy always pleasure to meet enthusiastic boat addict people 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@DWAJarrett]

I bet the inspector was blown away by the standard of your work. She's absolutely drop dead gorgeous.

[@scyz2807]

How did you know the inspector was a woman? : - ) lol

[@dhamma58]

We used to use a damp cloth and an iron, or also a steam iron. But for wood with a sealer like you have, this is quite a good method...dent be gone!

[@sea4see]

Hot iron ruin the varnish.... so I chose this method!!!

[@johnbrown-cn8uh]

I love your attention to detail ,and that is a great tip for wood dents . i try to treat my boat with the same level of care and perfection as you.

[@sea4see]

Thx John!!! Do it!!💪🏻💪🏻

[@georgesbonellodupuis8245]

Your workmanship is simply perfection.! Complimenti

[@sea4see]

Thx Mate!

[@paulbrown2971]

I was thinking that there would be no sanding in this episode but there it was at the end! Great attention to detail, as usual. Complimenti!

[@sea4see]

Sanding is the base of happy life...😂😂😂

[@scyz2807]

Oh, I think there will always be sanding! haha And I am pretty sure Gabriele's favorite movie is True Grit! Not the western - the one about sand paper. lol

Thx a lot mate!!!

[@jossmannn]

Hello Gabriele, my congratulations. Also it's easy to understand your english (I'm from Spain, so Spanish is my first language). One cuestion: can you tell me the tipe of DIÉSEL SEALANT you used? Thank you very much, and as we say: buenos vientos!!! Regards

[@sea4see]

Hello!! Jota! I used a silicon Zealand made for engine motors… but you can also used the red one www.amazon.it/dp/B007JEZZFU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_H7ZA4YTA4SADFBB5JSPB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

[@jossmannn]

@@sea4see Muchas gracias Gabriele✌ I'm currently restoring my classic boat (menorquín type fishing powerboat) and re-building the engine diesel system. Your videos give me courage and inspiration. Enjoy your beautiful Rassy.

[@scyz2807]

Now I watch! . . . And now I am done! Next time you have to show us the installation of the bottom seat cushions! : - ) Also, it was good to see how you make the hinges look like new. And one comment about that valve. It looks like it will be very hard to turn off the flow manually since the handle is almost hidden and hard to reach. Let's hope the electronic on/off works well and for a long time! I am also wondering will we see the boat inspectors doing their job? They may not like being recorded and it may be hard to video while they do their job - not to mention they are sure to speak Italian, which many of us would not understand. But I am sure you will pass the inspection! But I suppose they may find something they would like to be different. You never know.

[@sea4see]

Thx!

[@scyz2807]

@@sea4see I added more after watching the whole video. I got here early, even before YT said you had a video ready! Number 2 thumb up. So now I am wondering how you may respond to my edited comment. Until then, good luck with the next steps in this project. Scott W

[@sea4see]

Ah ah ah don’t worry nothing is difficult to reach where I install it!! Before drill or install any stuff I make like the reverse engineering.. all must be reach disassemble and installed without pain. If not.. I didn’t. Inspector was more interested in the boat finish that the technical aspect... I was proud to show my solution but at the end he said... beautiful boat! Job done💪🏻

[@JPE-B]

great stuff again. I liked the cleaning of the hingers...did it also on our HR352, with Autosol. still curious what kind of acid you used. Can you explain or share the type of acid?

[@sea4see]

For sure let me check the name I will forward to you

[@DonHarden]

Yes I was wondering what type of acid was used?

Thx CristoVao! You also addict to HR💪🏻💪🏻, Is a professional acid used in shipyard to clean metals and plastic is bring to me from a shypyard need to check the naMe!!!

[@Paul_Crosbie]

@@sea4see Hi Gabriele I would also appreciate knowing what type of acid you used to restore the metal hinges. I am in the process of restoring my boat and have access to a variety of different acid types.

[@sea4see]

Hey Paul is very similar to this one... I didn't remember the brand but is cement the brand professional.rhutten.com/settore/industria/sgrassanti-acidi-disincr-decapanti/dec-l-621/

[@giulioalbertochiodarelli2530]

What kind of acid are you using to remove the oxide? Thank for you advise

[@sea4see]

Hello Giulio I used a mix of water and solforic acid

[@giulioalbertochiodarelli2530]

[@madridpunch]

Nice video Thanks. What kind of acid did you use for cleaning the hinges?

[@sea4see]

Hey Mate I use a acid solforic compost

[@Scramasax]

You can also find citric acid from your local supermarket. It's called kitchen sink polish in that case. ;-)

[@jimdinthed]

@@sea4see you can get good results from vinegar too

Yes true but I need a fast solution and professional one so I Went fo a specific stuff

Yes true but Andrea give me this professional one!!!

Well done!

Thx mate!!!

[@toddgustafson277]

Didnt you put the hinge on wrong on the couscous? They should be hidden.

[@sea4see]

I will try for sure😂

[@toddgustafson277]

Sorry, I didn’t finish the video till now.... I should have read the title. Hats off to you:-)

[@davesmiddy1254]

I would agree that the hinges should be hidden. With such perfection we have little to comment on. Great job.

[@sea4see]

Dave .. could be ...but I replicate the original setup to avoid holes in the forniture to hidden!!! That in this case the result will be bad
