[@Nena84734]

Wow, who knew the plastic nails would off gas? Dodged a terrible bullet there, I love your description of a boat with a terrible case of measles! That knee is gorgeous, whoever sleeps in that quarter berth will have something special to look at it with wonder! Most rudders are ruddy but yours…sheesh, a beauty!!!!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Thanks Nena, we can always depend on you to be the shining light of positivity and support! Truly appreciated. Cheers

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Oh that’s fantastic! Glad you’re enjoying the build! Cheers

[@johnod1955]

I don't know how Iefke manages to keep that lovely smile, and look so good when covered in sawdust, and epoxy, I know I don't :)

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Hahaha a lot of practice!!

[@gjordan456]

Brings back alot of memories watching you guys fairing the hull, we used to have a fairing party for that task, 8 guys or so with long boards we would work our way around the hull in 30 minute intervals then every one would shift one position and around we would go, we could get a 40’ hull done in 2 days, looking good! Cheers

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

You must be a very valued friend to get so many people on the hard job! That sounds like so much fun! Thanks for sharing 😀

Thanks Ed, glad you’re enjoying the updates! More to come!!

[@fonhollohan2908]

Beautiful boat, that knee looks pretty dern cool. The craftsmanship into this boat is at another level.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Ah thanks! Much appreciated!! Cheers

[@rcdogmanduh4440]

Chickens mocking you, dog inspecting your work! Power on kids, lots of fun.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Haha yeah! They sure love to see what’s happening! Little buggers, luckily they also bring lots of laughs and some fresh eggs to the party! Thanks for watching!

[@marleenenmarcelhoremans6636]

Altijd mooi om te zien hoe jullie samen werken aan een zeer prachtige boot . Hoe je over alles goed nadenkt en zeer netjes en sterk uitvoerdt . Hopelijk krijg je de blazen aan de buitenkant opgelost zodat je epoxy mooi aansluit . Groetjes Marcel en veel succes met de werken 😊

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Hi Marcel! Blij dat je hebt genoten van de video, het is een intensieve periode van fysiek werk maar her resultaat is het helemaal waard. Zo bijzonder om onze handen over een gladde zachte geschuurde romp te laten gaan. De blazen waren een onverwachte wending maar niet onoplosbaar. Een extra stap maar gelukkig kwam het nu omhoog en niet tijdens het glas! Dank voor je aanmoedigende woorden! Groetjes Iefke en Matt!

[@mikeblankenship3883]

Of all the boat building/ sailing channel boats, yours is the prettiest. Love watching you two.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Ah so nice of you to say so! Thankyou!!

[@PeterSpringhall]

And now cookery content! The channel with everything!! 👍🏻 🍕

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Hahahaha yeah! How to make a rather oddly shaped pizza…

[@dgrah]

Yours have to be the most pleasant videos I watch. It is great to see the work progress and the descriptions of that progress are entertaining. Love the relationships with the animals too!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Oh super nice thankyou! Glad you’re enjoying the journey and videos! Cheers

[@1401196616091996]

Such beautiful craftsmanship

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

So kind! Thankyou

[@waynedoeblin6801]

Great progress,looking terrific 🙂

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Thank you!! It's been a lot of hard work but satisfying results so far!

[@davehine724]

I have to wonder, is there anything you two can't accomplish together??? The boat is looking fantastic and I am loving your music choices for the vids. Cheers guys!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Hahahah not sure actually… haven’t found anything yet. Glad you’re enjoying it all! Cheers

[@RachelReavis-ik2qw]

Gorgeous, just gorgeous. Those lines!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Thankyou Rachel, always appreciate your lovely comments! Cheers

[@geoffbox4455]

Thanks for the video. it is a shame to cover such beautiful wood but can't wait to see the process begin. Well done as always!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Yes it is, but we always knew we had to do it.. anyway, she sill look lovely with a nice colour paint! Cheers

[@xpdnc9794]

A great laid back non intensive frantic intensive build Utoob video, that I've come to appreciate for realistic building in real time. Love my weekly dose of reality.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Amazing!! So happy to hear we are keeping you happy with your dose! Cheers

[@KenDavies-qv3fs]

All overkill is great, if it looks good! From a very old boatbuilder in Canada.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Ah thanks! We think so too! Big looks tough!

[@runningmountain-l7p]

What a great team you two are.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Aw thanks! Teamwork makes the dream work!

[@Sailor_Greg]

Amazing work you two! That's going to be a beautiful boat!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

[@neilbrunyee980]

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Thanks for the love!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Thankyou!!

[@patchmack4469]

nice crafty view of Matt being Matt H&S look away - remember when he did his shoulder in, hmm, well they say its not the height that hurts, its the hard bit at the bottom, and i know that just from slipping 3 feet and busting my back a little over 2 years ago

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Hahaha yeah very true!

[@bensteyn1974]

Beautiful!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Thanks!!

[@garymalm]

Fairing the hull is when you realize, It's a BIG boat. Only another 5 metres to go on this side. Gambate!! gary in japan

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Hahaha yes well said Gary thanks! Gotta keep pushing on! Cheers

[@MVRemote]

Another great video. Thanks guys

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it

[@davidrichardson5163]

Did you only make one (very beautiful) knee, or will there be another for the other side? I always look forward to your videos of your exquisite, painstaking craftsmanship.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Ah there is another one prepared yes! But haven’t gotten around to fitting it yet.. glad you enjoy the vids! Much appreciated

[@c.a.mcneil7599]

This is so strong such a overkill. But looks good. Seems like a perfect fit for your project.

[@ikerstges]

good luck with this fairing and glassing journey! big job indeed!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Yep thanks! We are gonna need it, and a lot of muscle! Haha 😛

[@harrymerritt7745]

Super nice work

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Thanks! It’s been a long time coming, so satisfying to get to this stage.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Cheers!

[@joea8572]

That is one hard working viking girl!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Ooooh yeah! She sure is!!

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ezequieldiaz1950]

FELICITACIONES ESTAN HACIENDO UN GRAN TRABAJO !!!! SON UN GRAN EQUIPO . LES MANDO UN GRAN SALUDO DESDE LATITUD 34 S. ARGENTINA A USTEDES AL PERRO AL PATO Y LA GALLINA JAJAJAJAJ !!!!!!! P.D. LA PIZZA SALIO EXCELENTE !!!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Thanks you!! Big greetings back to you in Argentina! The dog, duck and hens also liked the pizza ;)

[@michaelmclaren7373]

Damn. Filling divots is never a fun time; instead of epoxying at night, off-gassing can also be prevented just by timing the work to either the hottest part of the day or just as the temps start to drop. The only places you could see bubbles might be between strakes where you could have holidays/voids, otherwise once sealed wood shouldn’t continue to release air. Absolutely love what you both do. Cheers!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

You're right, the divots are a pain - good tip on timing it with the heat! Thanks for the support!

[@walterathow5988]

its looking good. 😎💚💙👍👍🍺🍺🍻

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Ah thanks!!!! ☺️

[@jerrycooke6511]

The Bee's knees. Whyever that means fantastic I'd better look up.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Hahaha a great saying!!

[@robbeekmeijer1139]

Really nice knee…

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Thanks! A lot of work but definitely rewarding!

[@TheRdesmarais]

That’s going to be one stiff hull. I was tempted to do my hull (cold-molded) but decided to go traditional. Partly because it’s a traditionally build Concordia Yawl, so a restoration, but it has frames every 9 inches or so so it would have some serious over building

[@corvavw6447]

Good luck 🎉

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Thank you! 😁

[@DaleShirley-o1u]

To strong never parted!

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Yessss!

[@Edivision]

❤❤❤

[@janjaapstelwagen3726]

Coming to Taz in Januari, need Dutch likorish or anything?

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

That's so nice of you to offer! We're pretty well stocked with Dutch snacks, I've just been to the Netherlands recently! Thanks so much for thinking of us 💗

[@andersholmstrom3571]

Why don’t you jeep the rider off intill fiberglassing is done?

[@SighardTeichmann]

I always want to write funny comments, the funny thing is, my English is pretty bad

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

That’s ok, there is also translate that may work. Cheers

[@philipo9624]

A wood fired oven in the middle of a tinder box wooden boat workshop- wow that is crazy brave.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Fortune favours the brave! And the pizzas taste so good using our own wood off cuts to feed the fire.

[@MikeAG333]

This bloody epoxy stuff............you just have your fingers crossed all the damn time with it. Who would have thought it would be a problem with so much epoxy in the build up of your strip planking layers.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Yep! We just ordered 200l of the stuff!

[@roland5359]

[@СергейДеркач-у7ю]

Blah, blah, i really hope your boat would be done by my pension age. Am 40 now, so you have 15 years only. Otherwise ill come to your island to finish it myself(no tanks and helicopters, just myself!!!))))Best regards from Moscow, Russia!!!!!!

[@rcpilot3990]

That rudder looks a little small for a boat that size.

[@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River]

Hmmm no, this is what Paul Gartside designed. He knows what he is doing so we trust him!

[@albertomaria1]

No sailboat gets any rudder big enough. Sails themserves will rather work for it

[@charlietabone6162]

How many boats have you built?😂
