Nice work Jop, kind regards from the cold north!

Nice work, boy I miss welding ~

[@mwhelan53]

I think I have cowl vent envy.

What an absolutely precious ending! Your boy is so cute! I really enjoy seeing you with him, teaching, showing him the path. What a find, the funnel is going to be a perfect fit on Omala! And I see she has a bright new bow line, very pretty! I really enjoyed this video. Have you started the interior layout plan yet?

Wonderful to see more of the barge workshop, it really is a neat place

[@rebuildingomala]

It really is, consider this an invitation if you happen to be in the area!

Here is a link to an unfinished and hidden video about her history, if your curious: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIjIgGuLn898qdE

@@rebuildingomala If I ever make it back to Europe I'd gladly take you up on that! I've always liked how robust nautical engineering is, the Illutron is a great example of that and how landlocked buildings may learn a thing or two from ship construction

@@rebuildingomala Many thanks for this, glad to know a bit more about its history. Very inspiring to see a community form around a vessel like that!

It’s a bit sad that they pulled that Horn for the tug.. but I’m really glad you were able to salvage it! I really love your project.. and I have to agree, super cute ending

[@rebuildingomala]

Thanks David!

Dear builder of Omala. This all looks very impressive! Well done 🤗 Is there any way I could get in contact with you? Email, Facebook? My boyfriend is a marine engineer and we are currently restoring and old marine boat from 1978. We would love to get in contact with you for a few questions and advice :-) best regards, Caroline Hørlyck
