The jig is up [S4E14]

[@bruce5285]

So satisfying hearing Maya say it's her pet peeve hearing someone correcting the English pronunciation of Aladino (or anyone) when it's not his first language, let alone fifth.

[@dwel2928]

It always bugs me when someone who is barely literate in his own language thinks someone is dumb because he doesn't speak English like an American. Aladino is obviously brilliant, and fluent in several languages, which most of us in the US can't come close to. I have often wished I could speak Spanish half as well as some of my Central American friends speak what some would call "broken English."

[@daveamies5031]

English is my wife's 4th language, after over 20 years of marriage her English is getting pretty good but she still struggles with some words and i've always said the same thing to people as Maya did.

i was hollering NOOOOOOO!! when i saw the spacers on the top of the pattern jig!!! only because i have been there done that & have the trophy to prove it!!! LOL as long as you learn from the mistake its all good!!! magic carpet is coming along nicely, thanks for sharing with us!!

[@nick.caffrey]

Aladino is a pretty impressive linguist... and boatbuilder... and problem solver. And Maya is a pretty impressive communicator... and musician... and problem solver. I salute you both.

[@nikolas18v]

I wish I could speak as good English as Aladino. English is not my mother language, however, I thoroughly understand everything it's been said every time, even when it comes to technical terms. Beyond this, I also wish I could only possess just a tiny percentage of his determination together with his proven knowledge and ability of wooden sailboats construction. I am fascinated by his methodology and how he's coping with every aspect of this elaborate project.

[@atir4u]

I like Aladinos explanations in what ever english it is. Its part of his charm his character it's unique to Aladino

I love Aladino's pronunciation. The primary objective of language is communication, and I have never ever not understood what he was communicating! Five languages is impressive! :-) XXX

[@jimc4731]

Aladino, if you are not satisfied with your modified jig, do the following. Take the jig apart and discard all parts but the two pieces of plywood. Glue and screw the plywood together making one piece. You will have the curve you wanted and the clamps will work clamping perpendicular with that new jig. Keep up the good work

[@nannyg666]

Aladino's English is excellent. Honestly, he speaks English better than most native English speakers.

[@RoyClare]

Always a treat, your videos. Proud to be a Patron … at the very small end of the spectrum, but with a big hearted intention! And yes, to those who spend time writing comments that criticise others, please don’t … it’s unfair on the creativity and talent that goes into awesome productions like these. Plus, it reflects negatively on the gutless poster. Go, Magic Carpet … love your magic. 💯💙🎉

[@JustMe-pp1mp]

Hang in there Aladino, we're here for your boatbuilding skills, not your English. Aladino's workmanship, Maya's editing and commentary are top notch no matter how you measure it, metric or Imperial. Keep on keeping on you two! :-)

[@billlamm4688]

In my humble opinion, your fix for the jig is more impressive then the mistake. Your still points ahead in my mind 😉 Your doing just fine for five languages kicking around in your head...

[@johndavidson6867]

I'm not sure of the motivation of some people, jealousy I guess, yes Aladino says some words differently than I do, but I'm not sure that I am saying them correctly anyway. I am in awe of his talent at rebuilding boats that are damaged. It is far more difficult than doing an original build. Aladino could you not have notched you cross braces into the side plates flush with your arc. I love to watch all of your endeavors on both "Magic Carpets" simply amazing.

[@johnauner671]

most people could not do this kind of re-construction at all. Harassment is unseemly from those who may not pronounce that word without ASS reflecting on them.

[@jasonstork9606]

Yeah I was yelling at the screen! They need to be slotted down in between the arc side templates! Never mind, I made a deck beam jib the other day and I made a completely different mistake so deck beam jigs are a tricky thing. My mistake was not making it long enough and my first beam overhung the ends. Guess what....the arc stops when the beam leaves the jig. So my first beam had a weird shape at the ends.......haha.

[@jasonstork9606]

Totally awesome work guys!

[@Hairnicks]

I come from Devon and now live near Liverpool in England, I can't understand the Scousers and they can't understand me. I do love them though as they are so friendly and call me a "Wooley Back" as I'm a country boy.

[@jamesmcgee7723]

Not only does Aladino speak 5 languages, he also speaks metric and imperial. This is a skill that few can boast these days. The work he does is impeccable. I keep saying to my wife during this project, “that deck is coming off”. However I think that Aladino has solved the problem without removing the deck by his usual ingenuity. I love you channel and particularly this latest season. Keep up the good work.

[@ropersf]

Mistakes can be frustrating but you learned something and you will never forget.

[@clifficus]

Maya, how dare anyone from the New World lecture anyone on how to speak English, when they themselves can’t even speak it, let alone pronounce it, they wouldn’t know the Queen’s English if it jumped up and bit them on the butt. Anyway, it’s not an English language lesson, it’s all about a boat refit. You guys are doing a fantastic job as usual. 👍😃

[@johncollins5021]

We like Aladinos accent. That is what makes him interesting. We are all good at something, but not everything. Great work.

[@thomaswren3098]

Been following you from the start. I once had an Allegro 27 that was built but the Vindö company (I am an American living in Sweden since 1977). As a multilingual person, I, too, understand the challenges when not speaking one’s mother tongue. I hope you can get up to Scandinavia sometime to see the provenance of Magic Carpet. Good sailing up here but lots of things to run into. LYCKA TILL,!

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

In a major rebuild I did I had to do lots of laminating. I decided I needed a jig that could be use for numerous different radius. I made about 20 metal brackets that could then be bolted to a base in whatever curve I wanted using templates to set the brackets out. I was then able clamp the laminations to the brackets. Saved a lot of time each time I needed a different lamination. These brackets or braces were super useful throughout my rebuild and I still have them. Easy mistake to make with the arc but you sorted it out. Andy UK

[@howardquarters5459]

The enthusiasm, courage, strength and talent that each of you bring to this project/life that you have chosen is fantastic and seems to know no limit. Aladino (sp) has an enviable talent and ability as a woodworker/shipbuilder. His use of the English language (not an easy task) is quite good especially considering how many languages he speaks, to be able to master the different tenses and inflections only shows just how intelligent he is, do not allow a few that like to attack for silly missteps in pronunciations to dampen that fire you both posses. I look forward to seeing the next episode and many more that will follow from you.

[@einmensch4040]

And he's a talented teacher too.

[@jeffadams7134]

To those who are criticizing Aladino's accent, you MORONS this is not an English class!. Get a LIFE!!!!!.

[@JuanValdez24]

The next time you need to make a radius, tie a pencil to braided fishing line, measure the line to the exact radius, and tie it off to a screw. Draw the radius on plywood, or pieces of plywood if it won't fit on one sheet. Use a torpedo to drag along to keep the pencil squared

[@laurenceholden]

What’s a torpedo?

[@hjbl2453]

All respect to your/Aladino's English. It it very good for a not native speaker and your/his vocabulary is outstanding in my opinion! As a Dutchman I've got no problems with the pronunciation. The use of a limited amount of German names for tools or in this case plywood makes it even more impressive, because it shows the amount of less common words you do now in English!

Alandino is quite a skillful master boat builder and I'm just simply amazed by his vast knowledge. Although he had a flaw in his first attempt, he's quick in catching his mistakes as well as learning from them. As for his occasional mispronunciations, it really doesn't bother me in the least, as I still get what he's saying. It's quite impressive that he can speak 5+ languages! Although English is my one and only language, I've had my pronunciations corrected many times in my life, so I can understand how you both feel about it.

Aladino you do great work if you are still working on the deck beams there is a trick to get them in at full length . When placing the beams is place the corner that hit first cut just the corner on a shallow angle it and it will allow the beam to start to enter and just hit the rest of the beam in .I work with heavy headers for houses the beam and they must be full length try one to see i hope it helps .This way no spacers are needed .

Aladino, you speak better than some fluently monolingual English people I know. Please just ignore anyone who comments on your pronunciations; they aren't worth your time.

[@larrimos]

This shouldn’t be about the mistake but about the correction. It takes a lot of us a lifetime to learn that the most important skill we can develop is to know what we know, but to also know what we don’t know. That is to say, be very aware of the fact that you cannot know everything. Being able to recognize where you went wrong is of course the first step to making corrections. Al realized he was in uncharted waters and so made a test piece to test his jig before cranking out a dozen beams. This means he knew enough to know what he didn’t know. A thinking man is our Aladino. It’s very satisfying to watch you two use your noggin.

[@SuperJaXXas]

Fascinating. The math always wins in the end. @23:00 great tree. I've been around the world and the true language barriers are people who put forth no effort in communicating.

[@francoisprotat9342]

"Artisan" (craftsman), "métier d'art" (artistinc carrier) and "meniuserie" (carpentry art) have the same root in french : ART.

I've worked with many non-English-speaking scientistists and craftsmen. What I consistently find is that their somewhat awkward english tends to be accurate and precise in terms of expressing their thoughts and interpretations. No problem understanding them. Plus the speech pattern is melodic with well-placed emphasis. And that makes conversations with such individuals all the more enjoyable. Aladino speaks english more understandably from a communication standpoint than many native english speakers. And that reveals high intelligence on his part. I am highly confident that Aladino is going to design and execute the deck repairs in a superior fashion. He appears to have excellent judment and intuition.

Ah, but deck beam building and that camber. On Snow Maiden we have one camber throughout the whole main deck and a different camber for the raised bow and stern overdecks. These overdecks give a side profile to that of a lifeboat. They were a right pain to construct.

[@dougmassey1807]

I seem to remember a comment you made regarding swiss heritage and I worked there as a Chet De Rang in the early seventies. From my experience the Swiss live to work whereas most countries work to live and it appears you are both following the Swiss trend. Fascinating episode. Doug in OZ

[@barryford1482]

I have boat plans and the deck beams are made by edge joining the timber with epoxy and then cutting out the curved beams disregarding the direction of the grain . If the curve is not too much it will be strong enough remember a scarf joint on a wooden aircraft is 16 to 1 and on a boat you could probably go to 8 to 1 . I think that maybe the original beams were not laminated . Regardless of how you do it it will work but my suggestion may save time. Love your videos Regards Barry from Australia
