Our new hull plate is buckled! (and how we fixed it) - Project Brupeg Ep. 259

Last episode we fitted the first of the new hull plates, it didnt go quite to plan and we had a buckle in the plate. this week using a spot of brute force we unbuckled the buckle! and we give you a sneak peak at the next step in getting the hull closed

Erik from Denmark here 🇩🇰 you said “hygge” like a true Dane, and your explanation of the word was spot on☺️ I’m new to your channel, and I’m so glad I found it. Keep up the good work⚓️

Thanks Erik, welcome aboard mate

Never cease to be amazed at your sticktoitiveness. That must have been a hard pill to swallow in looking at dogs welding dogs welding dogs welding over and over. Great job folks.

[@tomwilliams8675]

Great job on adjusting the steel on the hull. My father use to tell me, "Difficult jobs take a while, impossible jobs just take a little while longer". That was 54 years ago when I was a mechanics helper working in his shop. 🤝🤝🤝🇺🇸

[@rudyyarbrough5122]

Nice job on the panel! It looks like you fit in with the last few dogs. As an open water sailor of old, I hope I am not insulting you and Dame but the galley even on a calm day would be a disaster. I see no fiddles or restrains of any kind and the open storage will not work at sea. I am figuring that you are putting it off until later but it has to be done. Even inside cabinet doors, it is a good idea to have a ridge on each shelf edge to prevent sliding when the door is opened. The stove top too needs a fiddle too. I have sailed in both trawlers and sailboats and all of the countertops can be edged also to prevent sliding off even in mild seas. Some of the angles that I have seen in a galley are shocking when you consider that its use is for standing upright. We even used chef straps that snap onto the bulkheads to keep the cook in one place.

[@Kenneth.V.Christiansen]

You pronounced and explained "Hygge" just right. I am a fan of your boat project. Best regards The Danish guy

Working on rail cars, we would use a forklift to push in stuff. I doubt you have access to one, or you would hav already tried that. We used to make levers like huge cammed pipe wrenches too. Persistence pays off. I probably would have broke out the rose bud long ago and called it good enough. 🤘😎

[@robf9931]

You might find it works better if you use 2 dogs, one vertical and one horizontal at the same time. If you move them both at the same time then weld both, the excess will travel to the corner more easily. Great work. Love your sense of humour.

[@key948]

Really great job you are both doing, your Queensland winter is currently warmer than our English summer

[@jeanhawken4482]

I can remember when my son was welding on the anzacs. He said then that every bit of steel welded in had to had to be beaten into shape from top to bottom. I remember thinking oh wow you young people are going to pay with your bodies for doing such hard work.

Hi Guys...... Luv this Channel, called into ther Yard there in Bundaberg on the way back from Mackay after an extensive refit on my 60ft Motor Launch... But no one home..... Here is an area of Concern, or maybe over Cautious, and im sure Damien has it covered, but the Loading on the Welds on the New front Bow section would be massive, and if there were an incident of Striking/Hitting somthing as to weather or not those welds would actually hold, as the sheet is not formed and only pushed into shape... Maybe some heat and Annealing just to take the Stress out of it... Anyway, My thoughts only... From one Kiwi to Another.........

[@clydedecker765]

I watch a LOT of videos on KZbin but yours and three others have captured my total attention.

It seems relief cuts and reweld, but not if you cannot reach the back. However of you start at the bottom would it bend easier with more leverage and less curve near the top. Working overhead on scaffolding is tough too.

In the galley where the mighty Queen rules. If you put a couple of flat head screws spaced out. You can drop in a aluminum flat bar. To stop everything in the wooden shelves. From flying out in rough seas. But in port or calm water be taken out. Those muffins look delicious.

[@tday891]

Make some vertical 3 " seperation relief cuts, bend in weld gaps shut.

[@tommussington8330]

I think that's what I would've done

[@dwel2928]

That's what it needed. You're trying to make a 3 dimensional shape from a flat plate. You need to cut out a little to let it go convex. A seamstress calls them "darts".

Funny how different it can be! High teens in C means shorts and t-shirt for me. 17-19 is perfect summer temp if the sun is out. 21-22 if overcast. Northern Europe...

Tiz true, in Queensland we spend most of the year in shorts and T shirts, when we get the occasional wintery blast from the South Pole and it drops below 20 everybody is rugged up. It was 19 degrees in Holland the other day and our friends were heading to the beach!

[@bigblock1968impala]

looks like the metal needs to be shrunken to gather it up, like red hot then dog it to push it into itself thus thickening it and shrinking, like the panel beaters do it

[@terke1230]

Question: will you be welding some sort of protective steel wedge in front of the anode to keep that from getting torn off by ice?

[@jossmaxwell00]

I actually watch a video on an other channel on this and how they got around protecting the anode. I cant find the video now, but basically it was a steel wedge but shaped like sloping sides, top bottom and front, with a lid to fit and cover it all. open at the back and 3 hole drilled through the top plate. Bit of a bugger when it comes to replacing the anode though.

Hi Snoop.. Tell your hoomun.. It would be better to use multiple dogs.. and relax the steel as you go.. Also see comment last week. Love from Bella 🐈

[@gregorythomas333]

Right now it is 79F (26C) at 04:45 and will be 94F (34.4C) as a high...before humidity is factored in...I would love to be in the cold :)

[@CaseyWeaver]

Just an observation... on your dogs & wedges... it seems like it might be easier to put a slot into the dogs instead of just a notch. I guess the best way to describe it would to be create the dogs in a "U" shape instead of an "L". This would trap the wedges and give you more strength in the dog weld attachment points. If this is not helpful (or someone else has already mentioned this) then my apologies... just sharing my thoughts.

[@snowgorilla9789]

As a shipbuilder "L" is correct for a dog however they should be installed perpendicular to the butt/seam and wedge driven in from the weld side, do not use oil or lubricant as it WILL contaminate your welds. Just buff the wedge

[@djmjr77]

I was thinking a T shape so you would have two leverage points and not have to cut it off to move to the next wedge position..

[@onutaoyusao]

@@snowgorilla9789 Why should it be perpendicular and wedge driven from weld side? If you state that something should be done in a certain way, then also explain why so.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Snow gorilla is right. Welding the dog perpendicular allows the dog to be pushed in till both plates are even and fair

[@CaseyWeaver]

@@ProjectBrupeg My point was only that a "U" shaped dog would capture the wedge and keep it from slipping off the end like it frequently does with the "L" shaped dog. Apologies for being a bother.

[@LoOnyCal]

u need to use 3 or more dogs of that size in tandem to push/pull that much material it will make your life easier when making those kinds or repairs.

[@myuboat45]

[@nathanhume4497]

For future reference try using a wedge with less angle and also change the direction of your dogging along the vertical seem .

[@deblemaster]

Weld an eyelet dog inside and pull from inside. But I guess your getting it!! I was thinking you could have run a split also.

[@snowgorilla9789]

When plating, use reference marks from your template and work from the middle of the plate out, work smarter not harder

[@bobjoncas2814]

...darned fine tuning...lol...good job.keep safe..

[@stephenmcelwee3129]

Hull looks great! Could dry ice help in removing small bulges in the little hull patches, As you work the steel? I think paint, body shops use it to remove hail damage from car hoods, trunk, roofs, etc… Any way you do it, you have this! Don’t give up now.

[@nielseolsen1885]

[@simonw7773]

[@skwyrz1]

There is a video of a guy in a shipyard bending huge sheets of thick plate and he used a monster rose bud torch on one side and hit the other side with a water hose, He was an artist at it. If you can search you tube you might find it? If I can find it I'll post it to ya.

Try to do a dog that is square with cut out so it look like a "U" then put wedge in to pull the patch in to weld. Ship yards do it its faster

Bonus exercise video suggestion. Edit together clips of Dame pounding metal dogs with the the sledge. Set it to the theme from Rocky or Once Were Warriors.

[@patlorch8478]

[@clydeyokoi9347]

Is most ship plate installed without prior forming? I’m impressed with the way you’ve wedged it into place, but I’m wondering why you wouldn’t at least put in a single relief bend before you start welding? Keep up the good work.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Yes it is if the curves are not huge.

[@paul_gradenwitz]

Maybe the next plate you can bend in two directions with a hydraulic press while supporting it on 3 points. You can do that with the whole boat as weight. Shipyard do that with 4inch steel.

[@paul_gradenwitz]

I think they can find 2 or three car jacks and put them in the centre of the plate and support the edges by wood. The boat is heavy enough to pusch down on the jacks.

[@jamesophel6343]

Dame, use distortion to your advantage now. Pull the bits together with it working towards the open end. Start at the neat end ànd work towards the gap. Tig with accelerator pedal is great for this. More heat = more pull. By angling the TIG torch you can make the pull directional as well evev in thicknessb If the far end closes first, cautiously open it up a bit by grinder so it doesn' t wrinkle it then go again. Up, down, sideways until it closes then full weld other side when level. Then cut out messy bits and seal weld over where they were. The other side might be a broblem but if you weld to the intermediate strips first then start to pull the edges in you should get it pretty close. More filler and more heat gives more pull. Make it go where you want. I have seen film of 100 ton girders pulled into line and also out by this method which is a modified step back sequence. I have pulled smaller stuff out straight this way. Good to see the dog on the mend. Cheers, James

[@davidbackman4442]

Try making dogs that straddle the wedge instead of leaning over it from one side only. That will make them hold a lot more before they come off. The way it's happening now, it starts to pull away at the corner, and then split the rest of the weld like an overloaded zipper.

[@pforbom1844]

Would it be easier to do the front plates in two or more plates with the seams at the frame locations or would this make the structure weaker? You may have better function from the dogs if it was a U shaped where it would be welded on each side of the wedge.

[@stevethompson9062]

Make your dogs out of one inch plate and like I said before , make screw dogs so you can use a impact gun to slowly bring in the plate . Use a lot more dogs at the same time. Steve from ST .ALBERT Canada 👍

[@shanehurenkamp50]

try to preheat the hull plate before you weld on the dog plate. Looks like your not getting enough weld penertration or a cold weld

[@FreeSpeechWarrior]

I see all the rust inside the hull, and I recall how you said that the rust won't get any worse because there will be no oxygen in that compartment of the hull. I want you to know that when you're out on the ocean I don't care if that compartment is airtight, there will be a point where moisture will get inside that area and it will rust out again and you'll have to completely replate the front of the hull again. If I were you I would sandblast that entire area inside and coat it before welding it shut. Just ask Doug from SV seeker he had a metallurgist help him with that part of his build.
