SHARPIE PART 2 - RESTORING A CLASSIC WOODEN SHARPIE DINGHY

Can Gordon balance work and life to give himself enough time to restore this stunning little boat? ***Are you a wooden boat enthusiast? Have a look at some of the great varnish offers that are out there: www.amazon.co....

There’s nothing like peeling away the layers and finding that beautiful wood ready for fresh varnish.

Great episodes! Cheers! 🤩🍺😂

Very good Tom. Thank you.

[@BoatYardBuilds]

Glad you enjoyed it

BOAT..Bring out another thousand..😎.

[@captainandthelady]

Ah, the joys of boat ownership. ^L^

[@billyjay4672]

Nice to see the Boat Yard back, and of coarse Tom in charge of the helm. Keep them coming tom good luck.

[@BoatYardBuilds]

Thanks, will do!

Wooden boats are such a dream to work on until you start to put a time limit on yourself, that really takes the fun out of it.

[@joeymcmanus448]

I'm loving these episodes. I can't wait for the next one to post

[@AquaMarine1000]

Not living in a sunny climate and not having all year round boating has its many challenges. Great viewing. Cheers

[@peteredwards338]

No hat when working outside, no mask when sanding!

[@oh7624]

“Launched and put to bed” lol

[@terrysmith7441]

Just like a Scotsman to moan and ach well, I dont know, the weather , bugger it dive in live it up spend half crown lol,,,a Great Show most enjoyable presentation and bits a fine wood.

[@daleskidmore1685]

I restored a fibreglass 13 footer and at least 1/3 of the time was stripping it down and scraping the old paint from her.

Good series but you can dial down the drama

[@SailorAllan]

I agree--this isn't life and death. that's the problem with TV people , no idea was reality is. always has to be some end point just because it's a TV show .

[@P61guy61]

Well said. I am getting sick of modern shock and awe-tainment.

[@martyjames6204]

yes, well said - 80% talking about the stress of it and very little footage of boat renovation

[@kirkjockell]

Oh, dear! Will he finish his job? He seems doomed, but ... OMG He still has to keep a job. Oh, dear the sky is falling. Here's an idea ... Focus on that damn beautiful boat and the genuine effort to bring her back. And if they show that stinkpot with all those damn fenders over the side one more time ... I might puke on my keyboard. And if you haven't been watching search for "Leo and Talley Ho" now that is one hell of a project.

[@bake162]

Kirk Jockell yes, same goes for Acorn to Arabella

[@thevictorianworkshop8660]

It's a hard life

[@TheSalMaris]

Forget the varnish and put some nice coats of paint on her.

[@AquaMarine1000]

Yes I agree and modern paints will last longer. A few small varnish highlights would complement the main painted surfaces. Cheers

[@TheSalMaris]

@@AquaMarine1000 I'd forget all varnishing. I've seen some very nice painted boats and I've painted my own. There's still the prep work to do, but not to the degree you would need for bright work. And it will take at least 3 coats to look good. 4 to look really good--which is what I'd do.

[@AquaMarine1000]

@@TheSalMarisYou are right, varnish on old wood is a lot work and paint always looks smart. Cheers from Oz

[@TheSalMaris]

@@AquaMarine1000 it's also easier to maintain and probably does a better job of protecting wood.

Pettit 1933 copper bottom paint, white hull sides with a black boot stripe

For comparison with another sharpie restoration, see Nick Gates' video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnychXqZmamMoa8

[@oh7624]

Theyre all cooked

[@Zortorond]

Yepp, rookie mistake that doing boatbuilding job by yourself would save you money. That always turn out to be completely opposite.

[@adammccarthy2157]

I think he has a drinking problem....

[@oh7624]

He sweats it out its all good

[@kz4506]

Let somebody else take the sharpie and do it properly and not some scruge , these boats need looking after and are good sail boats so if you don’t want to spend money leave it

[@williamanderson8441]

This would have been so much better to watch if it was purely about the restoration of the boat. All of that voice over drama nonsence is not required at all!

[@LBJHJP50]

I think Gordon might be an alcoholic

[@vincentneep4868]

No mask no goggles no gloves no safety shoes. Plenty of tv “drama”.

[@woodworms]

Ease up Jim he's just doing his exercises 🤠 🙃 I quite enjoy the narration style .. it's like Grand designs for little boats 👍👍
