Making a New Wooden Floor in the Wheelhouse of our Boat - Ep. #38 - Vintage Yacht Restoration Vlog

[@dwansbo]

I imagine the boat smells better and better every time you remove old wood. Music from an upturned barbecue, nice!

[@stephenshort839]

The floating dock is really working for you. 👀🤔👍🤠🌵

[@MuriloRossetti]

Congratulations ... this is the real meaning of life ... to follow a dream ... to conquer it and make it happen ... with your own hands ... as it was done in the past ... we need more of that kind of influence !! !!

[@andrassebok553]

Super Arbeit und Music!

[@clivemaclennan3299]

Love listening to that what you was playing at the end, love the video of course too.

[@lxhandpan5160]

I was playing this Handpan which I also building in berlin. Please let me know if you’re interested and follow #lxhandpan for more details 😉🤟🏼

[@bnkwupt]

@@lxhandpan5160 very cool. Just subscribed to your channel.

[@antp835]

Roof painted looks great good job

[@vickidianacoghlan8946]

Gday German Guy. Love your videos. Watching from locked down Australia. Will be buying a boat next year to live on as I love being on the water. Cheers.

[@markprescott6205]

Praying for the many families affected by the floods ! Hope you are safe !

[@tramlaw2069er]

I love your content my friend; please keep it coming. My best wishes to you and anybody that has the pleasure of being a member of your crew!!!!!!!!!!!

[@daledmc]

Floor looks great even if you are rushing haha. Your friends music is nice and tranquil. Could listen to him play that instrument all day

[@lxhandpan5160]

I was playing the Handpan and I’m proud you liked it 🙏🏻 I’m also building these instruments in berlin Pankow. Please let me know if you’re interested and follow #lxhandpan 🤟🏼

[@staxter6]

Loved the Hang Drum...the floor was ok!! ;-)

[@PlasmaOscillations]

I never knew there were entire communities of wandering boat life people. This is great and I want to do this. Excellent idea getting the platform, your own private island!

[@alan-sk7ky]

8:36 now who's a brave fellow then, putting a spanner down on top of a battery :-)

[@MrELOIGOMES]

This is one of the few channels that I like before watching. I never regretted it.

[@conover1978]

That floor looks great!

[@davidevans9189]

Beautiful boat restoration, and beautiful music accompaniment at the end of the video.

[@MuriloRossetti]

whimsical and detail-oriented

[@jimlane6717]

Great job your hurried efforts look better than a lot of people’s best efforts.

[@Cintmaasmusic]

The color choice for the floor is great.

[@SteveeCee]

Brilliant Job. Be proud!

[@KoRaFriLu]

Wenn ich manchmal Deine Konstruktionen sehe, die Du mit "Kapuze auf" montiertst - dann muss ich immer an Krahwinkel aus der Sendung mit der Maus denken :-) Das zaubert mir immer ein Lächeln ins Gesicht - Danke dafür!

[@jeffhreid]

Nicely done. Enjoying the series

[@Brewdiss]

Hitting those exposed edges at the floor seams with some dark spray paint, would make the edges be less noticable. Nice work, you should be very proud! 🤘😎

[@BobSmith-st1wq]

And seal them with resin

[@oghamster4520]

The Wood is Not Black it is between a dark Brown-Red

[@drx1xym154]

@@oghamster4520 -- even still, putting 2+ coats of epoxy on there and then FLAT black pain would or should make some of those seems disappear. Yes, the wood is dark brown with some red. There is less light down there - so it would be darker, anyway. Also, while we are at it, they prob need some heat and sound insulation since the engine is right there.

[@davidjma7226]

Carpeting each of them would achieve the same result. Better grip for wet boat shoes too.

[@jerkifer924]

I have never seen someone cut such straight lines and profiency.

[@allan8004]

Great job on the floor, don't forget to seal the edges with penetrating sealer, and under side with insulation to reduce engine noise and vibration, hope your OK with the terrible weather, all the best from Aus, Al

[@johnpick8336]

Your channel has the best soundtracks.

[@jg6579]

Looks good and I love the sound of that instrument at the end. I think you called it a Handpan. Amazing.

[@deb6623]

Hello......From America! I really enjoy the music you play with the videos. Also, I Hope you have installed a sufficient Security camera system for added peace of mind on your time away !!

[@francoisprotat9342]

First of all, thank you for this jazzy music. I loved it ! Then, if I may say so, you first said that you didn't know anything about boat refiting a boat (actually, your boat is exactely the same I'd love to buy for my project : Paris to Istambul by the canals and rivers, and back by the sea, including Greece, Madedonia, croatia, Serbia, Italy and Corsica). But every move, every thing you're making has obviously thought, and fits perfectly to the objectives. You're clever, man ! You're working as a King ! Every act creates a ripple with no logical end. That's why I'll help you with a kofi, as you have a dream and deserve to realize it. No dream may not be smaller than others, dreams are made to be lived. Bravo again.

[@allenseeallendo5844]

I just found this channel this guys got some skills on the drums. Great job.

[@mikehortin9964]

I thought your barge was a joke in the beginning. However, for anyone working on their boat it's brilliant. Later I'm sure it will be a great party deck👍👍

[@waynehelsel3949]

That or an old pontoon boat

[@PaulRansonArt]

Great progress. CAD ( Cardboard Aided Design ) is useful sometimes but we each find our own way. Love the new channel logo with the sticky plaster on the bow.

[@jamesbaumann1180]

Looking good!👍👍

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 I especially liked the end this time (handpan music sounded really good). Best regards luck and health to all involved people.

[@normanmerrill1241]

Great job…I can’t believe you cut free hand with your jig saw…steady as she goes…

[@tomhbeatle1]

This is just a tip not a correction on my part. On the planks and Boards in your wheelhouse rub stain on all the edges it adds detail. I look forward to your videos Tom USA

[@vovobillinbrazil]

It will also cause the wood edges to be sealed helping to prevent water damage.

[@hedgerowpete]

hope all that bad flooding has not caused you to many problems, a video on what's going on would be a great idea. show the floods and whats happening at your end. love this video on the new floor

[@greenmile4233]

Wow…very inspiring my friend.

[@nena4215]

What a difference, your first boat is looking bette and better! Thanks so much for the wonderful episode

[@davidzimmer2694]

Nice work again. This is becoming a great build.

[@markb4078]

Looks great good job

[@mmanut]

GREAT JOB ‼️ THE BOAT DOESN’T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE IT DID WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT. SAFETY FIRST ON THE WATER. 🛳. Vinny 🇺🇸

[@iancarry]

awesome ... all the aspects :) .. your build, your platform space, your handpan skills... awesome

[@karlguillory299]

Your persistence has really paid off in a big way given the extreme difficulty of bringing a boat in this condition back from the dead. Great job on the floor btw! The Reitgewicht as shown in your ground tackle diagram would be called a kellet or sentinel in english.

[@michaelberndt1966]

A realy very nice job!👍😎

[@DerWerkstattdino]

Hi, wie immer ein tolles Video! Das hier und da ein paar Ecken nicht 100 pro sind ist normal. Jeder der das mal gemacht hat weiss wie schwer sowas ist. Am Anfang habe ich mir, wie viele andere wohl auch die Frage gestellt ob das Projekt durchgezogen wird. Ja du ziehst es durch! Es wird ein tolles Boot. Weiterhin viel Spaß beim Schrauben und zeig uns wie es weiter geht. Grüße Rainer

[@wolfiewoolliscoft7518]

Greetings From The UK - well done on the Wheel House Flooring

[@fransvanaalst8698]

Nice floor, looks good 👍

Excellent work!

[@tambrabullock]

The floor is amazing :)

[@roma54800]

С музыкой на реке!!!Огонь завидую!!!Молодцы!!!

[@johnnyzander1466]

Love the sound of the Pantam. Your boat is coming along nicely 👍

[@tubeguiller007]

I love the easy temper from which you take on the different tasks to be done. A lot to take of care still, but great advances. Who is the musician? Liked a lot what I heard. Is there any material from him you can share?

[@lxhandpan5160]

I’m the player and I’m also building these instruments 😌 Please follow #LXhandpan or let me know if you’re interested in one of my instruments. I’m located near pankow 🤟🏼

[@michelfortier9563]

GOOD JOB ON THE FLOOR!

[@gerritjanh]

That floor is a big improvement! I can really recommend putting these boards on rubber strips. There's nothing as annoying as rattling floorboards when cruising....

[@simoncooke1625]

Great job on the floor,well done.

[@tonywilson6032]

Hope you are safe with the all the atrocious weather in Germany and surrounding countries.

[@weird1600]

Like the shiny white paint

[@davedavids9619]

This boat is going to look like brand new again. Absolutely great job, you will enjoy it for many more years to come. It it is not to moist out there you could get away with not sealing the edges of the panels, but if you have time I would do it. It will keep the plates in good condition and save you a lot of work in the future. I followed your build from the beginning, now am almost getting to the point where I want to start a project of my own (lol). Looking forward to your next video.

[@Foilmagnet]

Nice work. You should paint along all the sides on every board you have sawed. To help stop moisture from getting into them. Give em oil paint or some 2 komponent stuff

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Looking great! Nice job on the new wheelhouse decking! Keep it up!

[@EkonIc]

Lovely boat

[@MB_Kathrina]

I'm really impressed about those works on you boat, and how you do manage this. And all this in only 7 months? Others need many years for something like that! Respect! And well done! 👍

[@ninja1antelope]

Awesome floor! Love the music at the end!

[@vickidianacoghlan8946]

Bravo Maestro!!!!!

[@d.j.robinson9424]

The floor looks good, and the roof, pretty spiffy.👌💛❤

[@madpainter69]

Good job

[@patmcbride9853]

Cardboard templating makes it easier to fit the harder pieces.

[@perjeppson7800]

Or use the previous board as a template?

[@alan6832]

Did he leave space between panels for moisture expansion? though I suppose if and when he gets buckling, he can always pull up the effected panels and use that electric planer on them as needed.

[@georgeharrison979]

You are an inspiration my friend!

[@simon4525]

The new floor looks great, well done.

[@isickofit]

Concerned about the flooding. Hope the water folk are safe.

[@geoffcraggs1596]

Mate, I've been following your videos right through the pandemic. I enjoy watching your efforts and the satisfying outcomes. Keep up the good work.

[@Sircraig7963]

G'day Crew,, You made a nice job of the wheelhouse decking,, overall the project is taking shape nicely ,,Do you have plans to tidy up the pontoon dock ,perhaps small lockers for stowage ,and a touch pf paint . Your the man on the river now ,with your real estate growing fast, you can even charge some docking fees to other users ,, Looking forward to the next episode. Respect from. Down Under

[@andrewmullen4003]

good job fella

[@markpierro4679]

You should seal all the edges of your floor boards with marine epoxy in order to stop water ingress. Cut edges in multilayer engineered ply such as what you are using are very susceptible to water. After you epoxy the edges, it is a simple matter to sand and paint them, providing a very waterproof barrier and attractive edge. As others have suggested, I would also add some damping strips between the boards and the floor framing to keep out some of the creaks and knocks as the boat moves and flexes underway.

[@ireklasko5286]

Gut gemacht. Grüße aus Polen.

[@katrinebohr3119]

Percussion heaven

[@stevenrobertson9583]

For this being your first boat you are doing okay 👍!

[@Bernardo.7676]

Great - very impressing! ...

[@ramezgoldman6590]

great job

[@louiemahgnem468]

Great video my friend, love your efforts, your boat will amazing when finished

[@jeanhawken4482]

Very nice, looks good

[@clifficus]

A couple of points if I may say, to lift the new boards and touch up the edges maybe with a black sharpie would really help them all to blend in better, also, the table base is crying out to be polished to a nice aluminium finish, but overall your work ethic is fantastic and it looks brilliant, thanks for sharing 👍😃

[@Smacdoug1]

Great job bro!!

[@dennisbinyon9023]

hope you and yours are safe and well cheers from australia in lockdown

[@lxhandpan5160]

Mega Videos mein Lieber! Hab Dich gleich abonniert und fühle mich sehr geehrt mit meiner Handpan dein Bonusmaterial zu füllen 🕉 Mach weiter so und bis bald!

[@MrJerobona]

You're doing quite an amazing job! Congratulations!

[@jernejfunkl8300]

Yours episodes are becoming more and more interesting...Just carry on :)

[@vovobillinbrazil]

**Tip on towing other boats in the future.** While your friend's boat was less length than yours, always position your stern (the boat conducting the tow) behind the towed boat's stern about one or two meters. It will give you much better maneuverability. Nice job on the restoration.

[@josephperkins4163]

Outstanding work, you have taken on a big project. We can tell you are having fun on this! Cheers!

[@MrMunkyMeat]

Have you thought about using a cut off piece with a factory edge that is perfectly straight, to clamp on the piece you are cutting for your jigsaw to ride against? It will allow you to make very straight cuts. Just a trick I have seen used on several construction sites by carpenters.

[@mwatling3816]

Hope everything is OK were you are

[@normanmerrill1241]

Good job…well done…be safe…

[@teflondave7823]

19:20 I think we need a full 1h video of this.
