With so many KZbin channels on offer, it’s important to be authentic and to do it your way. So long as the restoration story continues to take centre stage, the other stuff is fine with me. Keep up the good work!

The world map is hilarious, love it! You certainly are a man of many talents.

Instead of criticism help the man fix his boat. More hands makes light work. Ron from South Africa

You'll have more of those knees to remove, and big copper rivets. The De Walt big drill bit looked like a genuine 'Cobalt' bit. The smaller ones looked like Lidl or Aldi specials. As you noticed copper can get very hard with age. Cobalt bits will drill stainless steel comfortably, so worth paying the extra price. Also a drilling / cutting lubricant to keep the bit cool. Not WD40 as its very thin, I think its diesel / fish oil based and burns off quickly. Its difficult to keep a drill speed down, but the larger the bit size the slower it should turn. Keep at it, you're slowly getting there and probably getting frost bite too.

Keep up with the nonsense, I enjoy it and it makes each episode slightly unpredictable. There's plenty of other channels out there for those who prefer a more 'formal' approach. A bit of advice - when using larger drill bits you should use a lower drill speed. The bigger the bit, the faster the cutting surface speed will be on the outer diameter of the bit. If you run them too fast you will overheat the bit and dull the cutters, this heat can also lead to hardening of the piece you are trying to drill, making it even worse. You can also buy special drill bits for softer 'grabby' metals like brass and bronze that have a less aggressive cutting angle so they won't grab and snap so easily. A little cutting lube will also help things go more smoothly. Great progress so far and hats off to you for enduring the joys of the English winter weather through thick or thin to bring us this content!

When drilling into steel/metal keep a squirt of oil at he site i to orevent Drill bit overheatin and not working well. it really should not need a lot of pressure on the drill, let it do its job. Cheers, Rich

Old retired toolmaker here. what I saw mainly was way too high rpm’s and not enough feed pressure on the tool. if that drill is not making chips, you need to slow the RPMs down and / or increase the feed pressure .in other words, lean into it. as a rule, Small drill high RPMs, low feed pressure, larger drill, slower RPM and increased feed pressure. The key to both is,is the drill making chips? if not, you should appropriately change either the RPM or the amount of feed pressure. The tool must be making chips or it’s gonna overheat no matter how much oil you dump on it .mind you lubrication, especially with a hand drill is almost a necessity but proper RPMs and tool pressure will make chips at a rate that will extract the vast majority of the heat into the chips and on the ground. Learning basic sharpening of drills will save you more money than you could imagine. Let alone time if you don’t know how to properly tune up a drill you let me know and I’ll personally make you a short video and send it to your private email. now I’ve watched a few of your videos and my only thoughts are this ,this old Yank from across the pond thinks your “hunting elephants with a BB gun.” you need a good shelter for that boat and a small crew. I watched your video of the keel repair. It actually hurt my feelings to watch you. It looked like you were trying to piss on a forest fire. I wish you good health and good luck, sir.

Although the presentation is different on this channel and may be not everyone's cup of tea. However ,it's more interesting as never know what style we are going to see each week and subject of replanking would soon get boring.

[@Dub-y5l]

Just work on the boat and stop with all the foolishness.
