Fantastic Ian well done can’t wait for your next one.

[@captcarlos]

I raise a beer to you lot. Good to see some apprentices! As always Ian, Beautiful work.

[@petermccallum3368]

shame you cant get that Ferres fella to give everyone else a chance to speak ! - Thanks for sharing Ian, great insight to how folks with 'actual' knowledge do their work.

I learnt the bag steaming method from Louis Shauzede (YT: Tips From a Shipwright). I wouldn't steam any other way.

A wealth of knowledge in that boat im currently referbing a Holmes motor cruiser 46 sister ribs done sofar

[@SmithysBoatshed]

Good luck, Holmes built a lot of amazing boats.

What a great Brains trust! Well done. If you are talking skin fittings what about the bonding issue?

[@peterwatson6975]

I guess the risk mating a taper thread with a parallel is either splitting one side of the joint from over tightening and or accepting just a ring of full thread contact. The ring contact may require additional tightening over time. Both can give you leak paths which are not obviously detected immediately. Joint threads should always be compatible e.g. taper with taper.

Ozzies drinking beer, what next? I'm having a wee Sambuca.

[@colinbm2010]

Gee Gaz, they'll have you doing cooking shows next !

[@Pocketfarmer1]

So apprentices only get cans. They aren’t ready for bottles yet.

[@Samgtho]

Ive used Tru design in my timber boat and its great knowing i wont have an issue with dissimilar metals! Especially since insurance company’s wont insure a claim when electrolysis is involved! Make sure when buying tru design you get the long tails, as the short tails are no good for timber boats!

[@Samgtho]

I should also add that they are survey compliant (but cant be used in an engine room for survey in case of a fire)

[@SmithysBoatshed]

Thanks, good to know.
