[@roballen2180]

I refuse to say the word. lol . Keep the free shirt and just keep making videos. I enjoy them. Thank you

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Heh, ok Rob, will do, thanks.

[@tomkellum6754]

Peter thanks for another great example of how to just get it done. Don’t you love it when your told it can’t be steam bent! Time is the answer, in your steam-works system. Take care,

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Tom

[@daviponagain]

Well done Peter, so now we know that you can steam sapele. Another myth bites the dust!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Heh, One down thousands to go

[@paulandsueroberts4121]

Great job steaming.Just love the way you get over problems.....love it, love it.cheers.

[@WatchingClosely301]

Ingenious use of teapot, PVC pipe, and double-bubble metalized aluminum polyester film for your wood steamer! Necessity is the "mother of invention", eh? Maybe California gold country's Anchor Steam Beer after the starboard side is finished? Good on ya', keep up the effort - I enjoy all of the ingenuity you apply to your refitting tasks!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Gordon, hmmmm, might have to look into that beer.

[@genefoster7238]

That Steam Works beer looks mighty good, love the videos.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Gene

[@wanttoplae]

Literally on the edge of my seat!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

And that's only the first one!

[@nena4215]

Genius! Who knew you could do all that with some Mylar, staples and an electric kettle? The plywood addition was amazing and a perfect match! I can say that I’ve watched every single episode, you’re very entertaining and I have learned quite a bit. I especially love your old router table, I have a new one and I don’t like it now that I’ve seen yours! My dog looks just like Geordie too, he is not yet 2 and is quite a handful, I wouldn’t give him up for anything, watching Geordie gives me exactly what I know he will be! His name is Major, and he is the Major....major pain, major work, but a very sweet dog! Can you check in on Geordie for us more often? Good job on your videos they are great! Nena

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Amber and Nena, Major sounds great. Yes I need to get pup in more shots.

[@andyrham1]

Steam works better than anything to make that curve so perfectly. Your $7 Heath Robinson steamer worked a treat. Innovation at its very best Peter!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Andy.

[@johnbolongo9978]

Great experiment and vid. IPA's definitely a fave... Well done Petee old boy.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks John

[@themightyquinn1960]

Hi Peter, nice to see that the steam worked for you :-)

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Andrew.

[@jamesharmon5963]

Thanks Peter I really enjoy your videos. I love the old wooden boats and I’m glad you are saving one from the scrap yard.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you James. I just love this old boat.

[@blueovalracing1582]

Peter another terrific video my friend a few hundred more videos to go

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Hang in there

[@captainc7123]

Apparently Steam Works really well for the McGyver Wood Bender - Impressive job, blown away over here! cheers

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Christian

[@johnobiro5202]

That was brilliant Pete. Great job. 👍

[@Hardtimes57]

Glad to see the "Steam Works" on the boat and in the mug!

[@wcameron1985]

STEAMWORKS with Peter. Idk why your veiws are dropping you do such amazing and exact work. We love watching all you do. Keep the videos coming.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks William, I suppose it's just the fickle nature of KZbin.I enjoy the process and will keep at it.

[@run1236]

I love the steamworks and I think that your videos are great. Very informative. Thanks

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks again Richard

[@ericst-louis110]

Yes, that SteamWorks tie in is very clever, now get back to work! Great series, I am enjoying your creative solutions to a restrained space workshop. You've no idea how much I miss BC, actually, you could get a good idea by watching the weather reports here in Qc Eastern Township...

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Eric, but oh the townships are wonderous. Spent my childhood summer on Lake Memphremagog.

[@tracylynnoconnor106]

Steamworks! Beautiful boat. She just keeps getting better.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks!

[@milt7348]

Love it when a plan comes together. Steamworks.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Gosh me too Milt.

[@bobstienke178]

Great steamwork on that trim piece. It is as easy as you proved it to be!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Bob

[@mwjii]

Great job Peter! I'm always impressed 👍🏻

[@pathanson6064]

Woohoo! I closed my eyes, grimacing, waiting for that cracking sound...

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Heh, yeah, me too!

[@colinbalme3064]

That kettle did a great job. Love the steamworks you're doing.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Colin!

[@SailingYachtZora]

That went very well mate. Nice job

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks again buddy!

[@brucella71]

Steamworks! Steamworks! Steamworks! Lol 😀 Love your channel and your resourcefulness. You have brilliant ideas and execution. Looking forward to each and every episode! Thank you very much for allowing us into your “world”

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Heh, you're very welcome.

[@richhamel6810]

You got the 'steamworks' blues. . . . nice modifying that kettle, you could have doubled up your curve template so it would twice as thick, but that's just splitting hairs. Nicely done on that bending, keep up the great work.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Rich

[@jassr57]

Good old steameorks! 🍺

[@gmay48]

love your video showing how steam works. well done

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Gerald

[@BergeThomas]

Steam wood and beer😁 Once again a great video. Scary moment when you were pushing the wood piece in place.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Thomas, Geez yeah!

[@twan-zg6nr]

That was a nice presentation of the steamworks beer peter and very nice to see how steambending works thanks for showing Greats from antonio from the nothern of the dutch

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Antonio

[@neaptidevlog3732]

Steam Works beer, what a great sounding and looking beer! Love the beverage of the week segments!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Thomas

[@owenmacdonald2125]

I love how that "steam works" for you mate.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Heh, thanks Owen.

Thanks Danny

[@edwardheisterkamp7196]

Missed Geordie this week but otherwise great episode.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

True, more pup coming, easier in the better weather.

[@patrickjernigan1025]

Very proud of you Peter excellent engineer set up your Steamworks anyway I'm glad you got that done hope you have a blessed weekend enjoy this wonderful weather we're having and cheers

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks as always Patrick.

[@TheFlyingPlectrum]

Great channel for letting off the weeks steam. Works great!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Heh, thanks Buck.

[@dieselram05]

STEAMWORKS!!! Lol!!! How appropriate! I still watch all your videos, just can’t comment when I watch on roku. I’m definitely going to try this technique with my Albin 25

[@jayjardine881]

Hi Peter, Love the beer miss the snack. I got the one eyed carpenter comment. Steam Works looks a little frothy. Cheers Sir.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Cheers Jay.

[@kennylaxague5528]

Lookin' good, Peter. Neat to see (steam work) on just part of the plank, not the whole. Love your videos.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Kenny

[@todddunn945]

Nice work as usual. If you are going to steam anything bigger what works great as a steam source is a wall paper steamer. You don't need a fancy steamer. The cheapest will do. I used mine to steam 1"x6" Douglas Fir up to 10' long in a steam box I cobbled together out of #4 spruce (cheapest wood at the lumber yard). Ten years ago I made a steaming bag out of a piece of scrap plastic tarp (the next grade up from blue tarp). It worked fine to steam planks in situ by sliding it along a plank as I drew it down.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Todd, Yes I suspect the wallpaper steamer is the way to go in the future.

[@act9246]

Steamworks.... your little home on the water is awesome and your vids... cheers!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks

[@rogermace4516]

Great idea on steam bending ....... I shall be putting that to use myself ...Keep Safe

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Roger

[@garyfairbrother5532]

Always entertaining to see how you tackle the less straightforward parts of ships carpentry. (See what I did there? A double!) The tea kettle hack was great. I marvel at how you use your vast knowledge of electrical and mechanical engineering to solve the unforeseen hiccups that occur with almost any project. Cheers me b’y

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks again Gary, heh, there's always curves eh?

[@owenmacdonald2125]

I love how that "steam work" for you mate.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Owen

[@MrPickles2205]

G’day from Downunder Love the videos. I am working on my timber 1970 28Ft Fred Fleming cruiser and get lots of ideas from you I don’t have the curves like your boat but I did like your ingenuity when it came to the Steamworks kettle

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Richard, Start a channel! More woodies!

[@dannyboy9817]

Here goes then: - Bending wood cold will result in failure, but using steam works........."patishhh" (cymbal crash) 😁. Brilliant video and amazed it worked so well. You've dispelled all that I've read that suggests that mahogany doesn't steam bend well due to lack of lignin. Well there you go. The yeast in that beer will make you fart like crazy later 😎.

[@ianadkins471]

Love all your videos but steamworks was certainly one of the more imaginative ones! 😬. Love the Coho Ferry...

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Ian, Isn't is a great boat!

[@mikes2294]

Absolutely perfect steam job ! ! ! I'm a newbie to this channel and I'm really enjoying watching how you solve all the projects. Another BIG THUMBS UP. Thank you for sharing.

[@peterkennedy5596]

Love the channel. I had an old wooden boat that I lived on out of high school. And learned a lot working on it. It unfortunately came to watery end. But some of the most fun I had in my life. Keep up the great work.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Peter. There's lots of woodies out there, save one!

[@kevinhays2000]

Hi Peter, your jig upon the steamworks works pretty good. Good vid that shows what a steamworks is and the way you can make you on steamworks cheaply.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Heh, awesome steamworks bid!

[@cliffordgouck6553]

Another great video, I think I’ll try a “Steam Works”.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Clifford

[@Vegvisir_Oceanis]

Pretty good steamwork there sir. I've done a bit myself when I was bending ribs for my greenland kayak 😃

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks, I bet it's a beaut!

[@andrewreale612]

Lots of suspense on that episode Peter, still waiting for the crack!!! Had to do a similar job some time back on a traditional Shannon angling cot and had a lot of trouble keeping the steam up when a friend suggested I hire a few wallpaper steamers, I took off the pads and bodged a connection to a 4" sewer pipe and it worked a treat, never thought to use an old kettle well done :)

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Andrew, yup it seems the wallpaper steamer is the way to go.

[@MagnetronMonkey]

steam works, cheers mate.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Cheers Tim

[@kiwiingenuity1677]

Thought you'd buggered that kettle. .but that steaming worked great! Get it STEAM WORKS LOL.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Zane.

[@maxrudder6091]

I used the Tips From a Shipwright method bending the Douglas fir lower chine stringers on my Woods catamaran. It worked pretty well. I used a propane burner with a cheapo Walmart stockpot as the boiler. I drilled a hole in the lid and put a nipple through it, and clamped a heater hose to the nipple. I stuck the other end of the hose in the bag I'd taped around the chine. The lip on the pot and lid were wide enough to clamp down with spring clamps. It took about an houre and a half to get the wood bendy enough to attach to the transom frame.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

That's some big time bending!

[@arlocorp]

steam works! Keep up the good job

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Al.

[@skwyrz1]

Great video Peter,If you are going to be doing a lot more steam bending you may wish to google "stove Kettle"They still make those cast iron kettles and they are cheap on amazon.I used a cheap electric table top element and a chunk of metal pipe from a chain link fence,I do like that bag you made,Much better than plastic because it's rigid.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Scott, it seems the wallpaper steamer is the unit of choice.

[@dougmaclean9752]

Tips from a shipwright is great ! Lou has been missing on the web - I inquired at Jamestown about him and they said he decided to take a year off . A couple of youtube channels you might find interesting are Walde sailing and Tony Flemmings Venture . Both have done cruising in the northwest although Tony's fabulous video's will take you all the way to Lunenburg and many places between and beyond . Thanks for the great videos .

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Doug, I watch Walde, but will have to look up Tony.I lived in Lunenburg for 20 years.

[@stevegifford2661]

The hack was great "Steamworks" great on most things bending, cleaning and power!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Steve!

[@wornoutwrench8128]

As soon as I saw the title I was wondering if you would feature a steam beer. SteamWorks, how fitting, That was pretty cool watching how you did that. Great stuff.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Brian, it just had to be.

[@phdconstructioncork]

Steamworks. I really enjoy your videos Peter. However this isn't a criticism but I am not fond of the beer and last weeks food segment but that is just me. I like the restoration theme as it is what I'm interested in. Love the steam bending. Well done sir. Sean

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Sean, That's why I am putting the non boat stuff at the end.Once you get to stuff you don't like just stop, you won't miss any boaty stuff.

Ah... a welcome treat for the late evening ! Commence the viewing forthwith. Wow. Put the naysayers to bed. Damn if it didn’t work beautifully and under ten bucks, too. Your episodes are so creative and informative, Peter. You deserve the honorary copper sauté pan award for the fried banana and rum desert from last week, though I think you might have paired it with a different craft beer... I also liked the mysterious second camera operator perspective from the dock during the flambé demonstration. That was cool ! Perhaps the mysterious Captain of MV Zephyrus ? So, what is the sediment in this weeks brew ?

Never thought of using a steam kettle I've used a lobster cooker or most know as a turkey fryer mahogany can be steam bent but if done to long can turn the wood black. Wood work, it looks fantastic for the fun of it "steamworks" the Music and I along with two other boat are sailing the largest island of the Caribbean keep on with the fantastic videos I will continue to watch and will tell friends to watch also the beer looked good cheers from the Music

You should be on the TV. Great personality, just need the right venue. Maybe even same venue, boat fixing, but on cable. You should look into selling your content that way. Just send links to your stuff. I produce film so have an idea what I am talking about. You have the x factor. Maybe even a cooking beer drinking show. I am very serious.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

Been a while since ive watched you series and I’m pretty impressed with your theory and contraption. For steambending the Mylar bag. Insulation was something myself and manu other boaters i know used to insulate most of our hatches and single pane windows for climate control of our cabins My guess is if you can steam Sapele long enough. You will get it to work I’m just not sure if your little kettle is up. To the challenge but like most od your videos Its always a adventure those that dought this aren’t Boaters and wouldn’t understand our determination and drive of keep trying you should pick yourself up some silicone barbecueing gloves to help you handle the parts faste and easier to get them into the forms asap killer job Peter On the success Cheers to you and Congratulations i had kind of guessed you were going to get something made for that corner the updated pics on the boat shows a ton of progress

[@kevinwoods568]

Great Job, I have to trim out the rear cockpit of my own boat although mine is GRP you have given me some good Ideas Thanks. STEAMWORKS P.S. A wallpaper steamer would be ideal for that job.

Steam actually Works.....for sepele mahogany. 😉

[@sappersteve1443]

Phew; glad that worked, but you are a fire waiting to happen. I remember the melting light in the cabin, which amazingly still works? It might have been better, not to mention safer; if you used a wallpaper stripper instead of that 'Heath Robinson' kettle?

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Ahh, but where would the fun be in that?

[@alesnloggers]

Funny you chose Steamworks as your word as I was going to comment on the beer anyways. The mixed 8 pack of 500ml cans is one of the better values in the liquor store these days. 2 pale, 2 red, 2 pilsners and 2 pie. How can you go wrong. I prefer tinnies on the boat.

[@birddogmason9862]

Hey Peter, do you think that your steam project supports a longer board for steaming without compromising the effects of the bend? Clever setup. By the way, really like the boat and letting us in on the project. Your part of my weekly viewing, thanks!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks, I think the little kettle was about maxed out with the 24" section. When I have bigger projects I'll probably look into the wallpaper steamer.
