S2E21 Best Low Cost Backyard Boat Shed || Wave Rover goes on a Field Trip

[@bizim_eller]

Mr. England's videos are top notch in craftsmanship, humor and quality. I have been enjoying immensely 🙂 And thanks much for this video👍

[@RoversAdventure]

Bill is a great guy, I always enjoy getting together with him.

[@bizim_eller]

@@RoversAdventure we're lucky to have you 2 on KZbin 👍

[@jerryhansen5116]

I can't fathom the scale of such a project, but feel fortunate to tag along.

[@danoyes1]

Salt and Tar are in the process of rigging their 38' Buhler cruising sloop, 7+ years in...

[@MaShcode]

Bill’s got lots of cat B-roll and we all know how the internet loves cats! Haha. Incredible project. Was thinking a 5 year project. Epic. Thanks for sharing.

[@RoversAdventure]

Does Rooster B-roll get any internet love?

[@MaShcode]

@@RoversAdventure Yes, but by sheer number of views and likes, cats will never be usurped. That said, I’ve cared for many a hen and rooster. Some can be surprisingly loyal and affectionate.

[@fonhollohan2908]

George Buehler's Boats are a great design that basically anyone can do with just a limited amount of construction experience. I've been watching a similar channel as Bills its called Six Points wood works. Thanks for sharing Alan I'll definitely be checking out this build.

[@randomtraveler3363]

Great boat shed, lots of builders using them,. A great way to get use to working with tools and materials before you start a boat build. Best of all the plan can be found on line for free

[@RoversAdventure]

Very true!

[@michaelsimpson9779]

Nice work, two artful projects.

[@RoversAdventure]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@hrmacdonald4471]

Thanks for taking us along with you to visit Bill's boat shed and boat project. Looks like I have yet another boat building channel to watch now...my things to do list will never get done...lol.

[@RoversAdventure]

I'm using my to do list as kindle to heat the boat shed these days, lol. Thanks for all the support my friend.

[@howtosailoceans1423]

"Where would points unknown be?" Ha! Bill didn't fall for it though, just wherever there's water ... this was a fun field trip. I liked the snow covered drive footage, although I still prefer Florida just now.

[@RoversAdventure]

That Bill is a very clever fellow. On a separate note, just received a little over a foot of snow Friday night.

[@robinhodgkinson]

Been following Bills channel. Built a similar shed but made my arches from 3/8 plywood with alternating boxed section and solid block components, assembled in a jig. They turned out extremely well. Light, rigid, and much cheaper than all timber. It’s been up a year now and I wouldn’t change it in anyway. I’ll be putting out a video in the coming months. Then there’s the boat…

[@RoversAdventure]

Looking forward to seeing the video, if I could just turn back time I would build one for the 650.

[@robinhodgkinson]

@@RoversAdventure yeah a Gothic arch is a good choice for a temporary shed. Walls and roof in one, cheap to build, lots of diffuse light... Cheers

[@eprohoda]

Sailing-ooutstanding view.

[@dakistle]

Very cool to see another underway project. You guys are both very squared away.

[@RoversAdventure]

"Squared away" ...I love it!

[@perfectweather]

Great video, thanks 👍

[@RoversAdventure]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@johndoudna7055]

Beautiful boat ‘shed’.

[@RoversAdventure]

It sure is!

[@sparkeyjones6261]

Hi Alan, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago, and think I've watched nearly every one already. Really enjoying it. You're doing what I've dreampt of for decades. I really like the careful and methodical approach you take to sailing and setting up your boats. I see so many sailing KZbinrs out there in a gale, running full or slightly reefed sails and having serious problems that could endanger their lives. Then, I see you running under just a storm jib while trailing a drogue. Much more my style when it comes time for me to head outside SF Bay to sail the world. lol Cheers man!

[@RoversAdventure]

Great comment. We all have to remind ourselves that we do this for enjoyment and the challenge.

[@jasonmcintosh2632]

3 years... Yeah, I don't think he's finished off the interior of a boat before. Great video! Thank you for sharing this. Great to see. Good luck to you both! (EDIT: well, I take that back. if it's a "work boat finish" and he's not doing any fiberglass fairing, he could make it...)

[@RoversAdventure]

Thanks for watching!

[@spikeafrican8797]

Subbed to Bill! Ambitious and impressive project... thanks!

[@RoversAdventure]

Awesome, thank you!

[@wellsgb1957]

Great stuff gentlemen 👍🏻👍🏻

[@RoversAdventure]

Thanks 👍

[@preciousplasticph]

You can also make a temp building with posts and shrink wrap

[@jeffskingley6042]

Thanks to you and Bill for letting us have a peak at his build. I’m confused about the keel though. Will there be iron or lead bolted to the wooden keel?

[@RoversAdventure]

Not sure about that Jeff. Reach out to Bill, I'm sure that he would be delighted with your interest. Thanks for watching.

[@crestedtern1390]

Motor sailer will use sails more often simply to steady boat underway particularly in a rolly beam sea. Also a wedge sail at anchor in severe wind to stop windshear.

[@RoversAdventure]

Very true.

[@otobüsçü_taşkafalar]

Hi Alan, have been following your journey, very nice project I must add. I also checked Bill's channel but seems like he doesn't have any current information, do you know anything about his plans? Thanks 👍

[@RoversAdventure]

Bill has started a new job but he is still hoping to have the boatshed up and running before the snows come.

[@oliverf944]

Ive noticed on youtube that Americans seem to be ok with usinjg knotted wood in their boats. In NZ we typically discard timber with knots for structural or aesthetics purposes in boats.

[@RoversAdventure]

I had voiced that concern to both the builders that I have shown on my channel. This is an amateurish approach IMHO and not to be confused with more professional American builders.

[@torbjoernbadsberg]

Hey Mr. Rover, can you do a video where you show on a map all some of your memorable voyages?

[@RoversAdventure]

It's a great idea, I'll see if I can fit it in with the build at some point.

[@malfunction8165]

And he even has some cats to take with him, I hope there will be enough space to swing them.

[@RoversAdventure]

At 48 feet there will be more than enough room to let the cat out of the bag.

[@dugpuck]

When you had the knockdown you did not seem too sressed about it during the video, but you say that it contributed to your decision to terminate your circumnavigation. What was the concern? Love your videos! Doug

[@RoversAdventure]

Hi Doug, I sum up the whole decision in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6GbfpKfbrx7b8k

[@dugpuck]

@@RoversAdventure Thanks. I have watched all your videos but must have missed the discussion about the damage and time lost due to the knock over.

[@RoversAdventure]

@@dugpuck I believe that the explanation was in the last third of the above video. It was a really hard decision and it also had a lot to do with finances which I didn't go into. This next voyage will be different in the last respect as I plan to be better prepared financially.

[@stephencifka4629]

Production question...what is the main camera you are using for your videos? It's easy to take all your video work for granted, it is very effective.

[@RoversAdventure]

I use a Canon M50 and a GoPro7

[@SiqueScarface]

Isn't this the same boat, Six Points Wood Works (see his channel) is building?

[@RoversAdventure]

I think that you are right.

[@thumperoux1528]

Confused. Juniper (Juniperus virginiana? aka eastern juniper or eastern red cedar) is not larch (Larix laricina, aka tamarack). Larch loses its needles in the fall whereas juniper doesn’t. I suspect wood that size might be larch?

[@thumperoux1528]

Amazing arch boat shed !

[@RoversAdventure]

You are right. Juniper is the local name here on PEI for some unknown reason. If you want some 2x4 larch at a local saw mill you say: "Can I get some 2x4 Juniper please."

[@rcm24]

nice cat!

[@alanduncan9204]

Do the cats ever get stuck to the project?

[@RoversAdventure]

I worry about that also. Personally I wouldn't want any pets in the work area due to the hazardous materials (glue, epoxy dust, fiberglass, etc).

[@JamieSteam]

I bet that boatshed smells pretty good, dry juniper wood.

[@JohnWolffPortraits]

How the heck can those pieces be moved and how will you ever get it out of the shed?

[@RoversAdventure]

The shed is coming down for the move I suspect but I also suspect that Bill hasn't thought that far yet.

[@Garryck-1]

Algorithm Booster! ⛵

[@daveamies5031]

🚀🚀🚀 Boosting it a bit more 👍🏼

[@kevinwelsh7490]

hold on... it seems to me this gentleman's passion is boat building given the magnitude and pace. I have to wonder what he imagines what purpose the boat will be put to and how did he choose the design? will he go on a major cruise? also, if time was of the essence, why not hire a builder to put up the shed, and even get a laminating company to fabricate the keel. And.. did he get an engineer and and a building permit for the shed? perhaps we won't talk about that..

[@RoversAdventure]

All good questions. You can ask Bill directly by going over to his channel: kzbin.info/door/rdEjnd-syj3n8aHBNZpEug

[@randaljameslynch3863]

"...anywhere there's water"

[@DrBrian0450]

Bill, if you need help with anything let me know...I have built a lot of boats....
