The works on our FAVORITE PART OF THE BOAT have started! - Sailing Yabá #71

[@SailingYaba]

We would like to share that we are very saddened about what’s happening in the world right now. Our hearts are with the civilians who suddenly had their lives changed completely and are now living in fear instead of living in freedom. We will continue to post our weekly episodes with the intent of entertainment and hopefully making you smile now and then. Let’s all unite and hope for brighter days and a peaceful tomorrow. Stay safe and be kind to each other. Love Ben and MP

[@brian.7966]

I think we are all in agreement with that, let's hope you can enjoy your dream and we can follow that dream by watching your progress. somebody do or say something to stop this madness in the world today.

[@jeremylynn8631]

I pray all that in the name of Jesus God bless u guys! 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕

[@jamesholland5475]

Yes, love not hate ! You/MP and Ben are an inspiration to a lot of people, what you are doing is absolutely amazing and wonderful I think that your home ( Yaba ) is amazing as well ! You have an amazing crew of shipwrights/carpenters it has been an absolute pleasure watching your progress on Yaba and yourselves ! Live, love and laugh always !!

[@yottaforce]

MP, hopefully your lathe is not that strong. But long hair, sleeves, etc. spell disaster near machines. I'd really wouldn't like to hear you had an accident.

[@johncottingham8987]

@@yottaforce Glad you said it as it was on my mind. Loose clothing also should never be worn around moving equipment nor should you reach across moving equipment. MP you are a beautiful young lady and we don't want anything to happen to you or Ben as we watch your life unfold before us, taking us along on your dreams. Thank you !

[@FistralG]

25:31 how close did MP’s top get to being dragged into a spinning work piece! 😮 Please be careful!

[@br5498]

I agree, there’s a lot of Safety Steve no no’s going on. Long sleeves, gloves, and sanding with tool rest in place… but hey what a video moment waiting to happen!

[@garyc5483]

@@br5498 Agreed that the toolrest should be removed when sanding. I shouted at the screen when she lent over the turning workpiece. regards

[@redbovine]

Ive been wrapped up in an Equipmemt shaft. It’s not fun. Almost lost my arm. Had a lot of ligament and tendon damage In my shoulder. Please please please be careful.

[@BenJaminLongTime]

I think the world obsesses too much over safety sometimes, but I will admit, this clip did get me a little worried lol. Gloves = bad idea, long sleeves = bad idea, dangling shirt very very close = bad idea. If for whatever reason it gets snagged, which is not an unreasonable thought, what happens next? Does it rip off and everything is ok? nope, going to pull you in... this is why gloves are not advised for use with any kind of reciprocating tool. Your skin may get cut from a tool but you wont get sucked in and twisted around it. Anyways, seems she didnt die so thats good. I work at boeing fabricating aircraft both in metal fabrication and in final assembly as a mechanic and an engineer and I also used to work on a farm where I have broken every safety rule in the book fyi, just for some credibility beyond my armchair.

[@br5498]

@@BenJaminLongTime ok.. I worked in machine shops most of my Navy career and was raised on a corn and cattle farm ran old Holland hay bailers as a kid…owned a water well company in SE Virginia also… there’s my real world experience… it’s not always the lack of safety that hurts you, it’s the lack of knowledge of how the machine will hurt or kill you and it doesn’t care ! Especially with millennials. I see it every day with the company I own now, running 45 employees

[@davidpelletier1900]

I love watching the boat getting rebuilt. Just wanted to let you guys know that when you are working on the lathe, you should never reach over the lathe to do anything, like sanding. Your clothes could get spun around the wood piece and break or even rip off your arm, watching the young lady sand made me very nervous. That’s all, keep up the great rebuilding project.

[@jgriff3218]

Got chills when I saw that. Wanted to pull her away.

[@JIMMCCRANK]

Yes, absolutely, it made me shudder to see that. MP loose clothing can get caught and it happens so fast you have no way or time to react. So please do the work but NEVER lean over any moving equipment with loose clothing.

[@dziner92821]

MC could you do a video where you introduce each member of the build team. Their age, how long have they been do this work. They are awesome! Yaba will be the envy of any harbor. Eric don’t become complacent around the lathe. It is a dangerous tool! Live long and prosper.

[@kennethrand4877]

When sanding the spindles take the tool rest off . You can have a bad injury and loose a finger or two.

[@SteifWood]

And no gloves, lose shirt or hair .... But then, PPE and safety has never been a strong point on this channel.

[@JB-mo4gp]

You should never sand the top of the work piece on a lathe. Remove the tool rest and place the sandpaper underneath the the spindle.

[@Arnaud58]

@25:27 MP, this reaching over the turning piece with loose clothing is highly risky. If the wood gets hold of it, you're in big trouble. Never ever reach over it!

[@lorenclifton110]

I’ve enjoyed so many of your videos but this one was pretty darn special. Good job !

[@tomcraddock244]

Been watching from beginning and watching these carpenters never gets old ! amazing!! Fair winds ⛵️

[@louisneill3384]

The “carpenters” working on your yacht are absolutely world class, I’d call them shipwrights

[@Pop_Hockenbush]

Artist’s,,no books here, all in the boss’s head . Nothing high tech ,old school quality ,one of a kind . Just the wood must have cost thousands x 100 . Getting a million dollar boat ,hand made and worth every penny . Yaba has a soul and will serve you well .

[@lookronjon]

I actually hope this leads to bigger and better things for them.

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

They are indeed shipwrights in the historic tradition. And Yaba is about the size of Columbus' ship Pinta. Pinta was, ''17 meters (56 ft) and a width of 5.36 meters (17.6 ft)'' .

[@Pop_Hockenbush]

Me too, there are channels that are losing their way after the boat is done . Like Odd Life Crafting ,I love Roberta and Duca but since they are now sailing there’s allot missing . They don’t seem to recall who got them there .

[@57dent]

@@Pop_Hockenbush incredible how entitled this society has become. Just because you support a project (presumably you liked the entertainment) does not entitle you to dictating how they should live their lives! It's very simple, if you no longer like the entertainment then stop watching their videos!

[@jeffmorton9220]

I always laugh to myself when seeing the boat yard and water's edge in these video shots. It looks like the area was hit by a tsunami. There are big boat on dry land, debris floating at the water's edge, and piles of lumber and other formless shapes of unidentifiable stuff covering the ground as far as the eye can see! Even so, there are many magnificent boats slowly rising from this mayhem, and Yaba is the unanimous favorite! I love seeing Yaba as its transformation slowly takes shape. And like Yaba's owners, I can hardly wait to see it sail, once again. Thanks for these video updates!

MP. Don’t wear long sleeves while working with a lathe. It could catch and pull into the lathe. Remove the tool rest when sanding. If you get pulled into it it could damage your hands. Be safe. Great job on the yacht.

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

And don't lean over or put tour arm over the lathe. VERY dangerous. We love you MP. Be careful. Maybe watch some safety videos on woodworking.

[@heyjer8000]

When you do get them to tell their stories please realize it will be bigger than just Yaba and make a very special boatyard-only movie. I'm sure you have so much boat yard b-roll footage - it must be amazing. It's an easy million views in the making and could literally finance a Skill saw big enough to cut through wood without needing to flip it over and cut from the other side as well. I look forward to the movie you will make about the yard; you two tell a good story and throw in the respect you have for this crew and it could be your best work yet!

A single piece of steel ground into the profile shape of your spindle could create the part in one operation. It would go where the tool rest is now. Adjust it into the dowel and build a spindle in very little time, each exactly like the one before.

Ben and MP. This will be one of my favorite and memorable episodes. Brought back memories of seeing you and Yaba for the first time when Roberta and Duca visited you and hung out on the cool aft deck. One of Yabas best features. Will never get over the amazing work of your boatwrites and how quickly they fit parts perfectly together. They do in an hour what would take me a day (without a lot of yelling and throwing tools 😜). Please tell them we love them and would enjoy meeting them and hearing their stories and saving them for posterity. Crazy to see Ben doing the Limbo on a band saw. Wild dude! MP you scared me to DEATH. When you used the lathe you were wearing a loose long sleeve shirt and put your arm over a spinning piece. If your shirt got caught on it we probably would not seen anything from this episode. PLEASE be careful with all power tools, running engines, etc. Love you both. Stay safe and enjoy your journey.

I know it’s been said hundreds if not thousands of times but , the skills of these guys amazing , not down to C.A.D. drawings, picked and graded seasoned timber and not built inside a fairly cosy weathertight building using 10s of thousands of dollars worth of special tools and equipment but with skills built on years and years of hands on experience handed down from one to another . A few slightly more modern labour and time saving tools than 50/60 years ago but basically hands and eyes and sweat and effort .

[@googleaccount6761]

Loved all the work done so far the past year. Just remember that a wood ship is a ship that many animals eat. Keep up on the maintenance every day, paint, paint, and more paint. If you do so she will last a long time.. and also, wood shrinks and deforms, retighten all bolts and and spikes annually. Especially if it's a really rainy season then very dry for prolonged periods. If wood is allowed to shrink and expand it won't last long, it's goal is to ultimately rot. That is the cause for all the prevention methods. Love it so far, and I think u two know the investment you have made. Maintain it well..good luck!

It seems like it would be better to have the aft deck roof extend out over the bulwark's cap-rail to allow rainwater to drip past it into the water below. I know it's easier to just keep the cap-rail varnished, but just hate to see that beautiful new wood get water soaked into it and stain & rot. Maybe if you plan a water catchment system it would let you extend the roof line out. Haven't you already done the benches?
