[@robbywittlin1631]

Thank you for sharing your perspective of SMC maiden voyage!

[@SailorBarry]

My pleasure. Was an absolute pleasure to participate!

[@robertgold2643]

Love watching the carpentry, so cool you can just build whatever you want in TC😉

[@nikolasmaclean4450]

Sick! Can’t wait for the Reno videos!

[@Oddjohn69]

I saw the after, it's cool to see the part I missed. Good job, keep up the good work.

[@SAILINGCHAOS-1]

Really liking your videos keep it going.

[@tomhaffly7498]

Another reason to enjoy my Friday with a video from Sailor Barry and Hailly. Thank you, I always enjoy watching your adventures! Can’t wait for the remodel 👍

Wonderful woodworking! Go H & S! ~From the far other coast of the USA.

It was a very beautiful bird

[@seanhanlon5867]

Looking forward to the remodel 👊🏻

[@23degrees]

Such great timing on this one. we're so close to heading out on our little 27 footer for some down east coastal. of course, we are not as prepared as we could be, but that would take a couple years.

[@petternss4854]

I could almost smell the pine tar 😊 Thanks 👍

[@SailorBarry]

My pleasure 😊

[@wadebarrie1433]

Would love to know how you prioritize projects when you have such a long list of things you want to accomplish! And not get overwhelmed by it all.

[@greghorne8678]

Teak Decking Systems seam compound is probably the state of the art these days, if you can get it in Canada.

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

Love pine tar smell... kinda crazy secret formulas, but whatever floats your boat.

😁😁😁 Bird on log, bird on log ! 😁😁😁 Here's a Panda on log 🐨 so that your bird has a companion! 😁 ;-)

[@JamesScott-my1cu]

Hey there guys. Totally loving your content. Such a gorgeous boat , gorgeous people and wowser the Pacific Northwest looks amazing. Keep up the great work. You and your tattoos ROCK. …. Just one comment!. I can’t get the bird 🐦 on the log song out of my head. 😂😂😂 keep safe Jim.❤️💙😘😘🙏

[@jfr03hl1ch]

imho the pine tar and epoxy combo is not holding for long. sabatack or sikaflex. they stay elastic and are made for this. anyway… great episode!

[@SavingMaverick55]

Ill have to try tarpoxy when I redo my companionway and forepeak hatches. Seems like a solid idea (on second thought, after finishing the video, maybe not). Also, I have an ancient, rusty can of cetol that came with the boat and i have no use for. I'll add it to my boat soup! Great idea!

[@markfrost9087]

I e only ever used varnish on a boat, but I recently restored an Edwardian house and used a fair bit of Osmo Polyx Oil when restoring softwood floors and hardwood details and I loved the result. I had used Polyx Oil in the past. Another restoration project on wood I had used analin dye and it took looked great and was quite hard wearing. Be curious to see if it had marine applications. I've used both the satin and gloss clear but they also have tinted versions that I have not yet tried.

[@markfrost9087]

Worth adding that Polyx Oil is not cheap but the look and robustness makes for a pretty compelling cost value story.

[@ellelyn2000]

Nice episode Hailey and Sailor Barry, will continue to patiencely wait for the tour. Barry what's your thoughts on a steel hull sailboat like a seawitch?

[@michaelcarron3418]

Look into getting a Mr.Buddy propane heater to take the dampness out of interior.

[@michaelcarron3418]

How will you deal with condensation in the interior of the boat, exhaust fan, like a computer fan?

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Why not traditional sikaflex in the grooves?

[@johnhutchins1470]

Sail far enough south and you start to get birds on turtles.

Really like the boats and vibe on this channel. The boat building however. Leave it to the professionals. I’d hate to see people taking this advice. Epoxy and pine tar. The world’s most expensive product carefully formulated has just become worthless goop. They make stuff exactly for this purpose. No logical sense in mixing them. Stick to the Jeffery’s marine glue. This product has no place in boat building and I struggle to see where it has a place other than the land fill.

[@SailorBarry]

I am a professional, and did that as an experiment for outside applications, works great interior and works okay outside. I don’t recommend it outside, yet, might just need to tweak it. But sofar with a few 1 year old testers, they’re working great. Better than sika flex in the same application. Don’t take this as a completed test, there’s still room to grow. But to date, the interior test is 10 out of 10, exterior, 6 of 10. About the same results as sika in the same spot. Going to use Jeffrey’s for all deck seams. Still some worth while experimenting to do with it, definitely using it for all interior works over other products, it’s affordable and stable and highly functional. It’s worth toying with some more, I’ve found using an epoxy thickening agent helps a great deal but I haven’t tried that yet on larger seams.

[@Deanmachine667]

@@SailorBarry as a life long retired shipwright and having watched your other video replacing frames. I can say this is not professional. Im curious what school you went to or book you’ve read that this repair this coheres to. Too many people these days put in a couple of planks and claim the title of shipwright. Fewer and fewer woodys around. Keep them safe and fix them properly. If your learning then be humble enough to learn. If you e already been to school (I doubt this the case) then go back to school and take a refresher until the work reflects. DIY absolutely but take advise from a professional. With tally ho and other boat building channels there is really no excuse for this.

[@Deanmachine667]

I’ll add it’s not my nature to criticize work. The work I saw on that boat was appalling. This at no point should be the standard even for an enthusiast. Making sure KZbinrs don’t lead the world astray.

[@dancarter482]

This is the _worst_ bird spotting timber channel; what sort of bird - what brand of log? _Disappointed!_

[@SailorBarry]

Lol

[@dancarter482]

@@SailorBarry Not funny, I had to crawl out of my safespace and do my own research - got blisters and splinters. Turns out it's an often-spotted Yella-bird on a balsa-chored yule-log!

That's funny!!!!

As long as its not a dead Parrot 🦜 .... Monty python skit comming on ..😂 Try a Cassins finch but im not sure of the size of your little fella. Live with it for a year round...same for houses and especially gardens 🏡 before you start busting a gut or discover what the heck that thing was for and why it was put there. 🧙🏼‍♂️😉
