You get the Brass Balls Award for working in those conditions.

Dedication keep it going 👏

[@stephenendersby5699]

Loving the videos. Your dedication is to be admired, in terrible conditions.

[@Nena84734]

I really got a good laugh at the doll hand!!! Terrible conditions, feel your pain and frustration because I’ve been there too, well done, well done!

[@georgetrousdell4704]

I admire your determination and really enjoy your commentary. Seems like a couple of forstner bits and/or router bits of the correct size would save you hrs messing about routing the plank holes with undersized bits.

[@sodoffxx]

Moments of joy, hours of toil. Never seen boat work in extreme conditions. Great stuff. Maybe a worklight may help? Thank you.

@@sodoffxx yes I think Santa is bringing me one 😅

Little by little you'll get there. Keep Going; Every step forward is a success.

Buddy...FILL empty water bottles (ir Beace, Soap, ANY) tie to bottom eyelets and set on ground. Will help keep the Tarp out of your way and save more dry areas.

[@crelark]

Good effort! Consider wrapping a few turns of oakum or cotton caulking under the heads of those carriage bolts to seal them. Also, as already mentioned, a forstner bit is more efficient than the router for drilling the right size countersinks for the bolts.

[@dunkirkdowager]

@@crelark absolutely. I've had enough of relying on the router for almost every task 😅 at the moment I've just got the bolts loosely tightened. I will definitely be wrapping with caulk 👍

[@buzzkillington3354]

Fair play, looks like you've replanked half the boat thats a great effort to have got all that done this year! You're gona be a master carpenter by the time you finish

[@dunkirkdowager]

@@buzzkillington3354 I'll settle at being an apprentice 😄

[@SAILBOATJACARANDA]

I feel your pain mate. Lol

[@manny380sl]

great video once again, im wondering if you can use some kind of support a pole or a long 2x4 to support the tarp so its not on top of you when you are working

[@dunkirkdowager]

@@manny380sl I actually did something like that - then the plank came loose and fell on my head! 😂

IRON MAN

[@johnlyon326]
