Tieing up loose ends in the Tiny Houseboat! (Part22)

[@fraufuori7012]

... unbelievable how detailed your work is...👍...now I see bamboo sticks with "new" eyes

[@adrianwoodworm]

Thanks! They are super usefull in woodworking!

[@СергейПетрич-м4б]

Super beautiful job!!!

[@timeast4644]

Wow. Beautiful finish work! Things are coming along nicely.

[@adrianwoodworm]

Thank you! Those details are super time consuming but worth it I think. I am not really in a rush so it's all good!

[@timeast4644]

If you are not in a rush, have an understanding spouse and family, you can work on this slowly, and achieve a level of finish that you can be very proud of.

[@adrianwoodworm]

@@timeast4644 I couldn't agree more! And I consider myself very lucky, my family is putting up without complains with unimaginable amounts of fine sawdust in every corner of the house😄

Smart planning with all the nooks for storage and all your carpentry work on your boat.

[@adrianwoodworm]

Thank you!

[@jaketschida7016]

I love how you are not wasting any space! Just like everything else on your shanty boat, it looks great!

[@adrianwoodworm]

Thank you!

[@dondonner1095]

Amazing how well thought out all of your projects are. Very nicely done and a pleasure to watch.

[@adrianwoodworm]

I am glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!

[@desertdweller9255]

How amazing!

[@adrianwoodworm]

Thank you!

Deine Lösungen sind absolute Klasse! Wenn du in Holland wärst ich würde dir einen Job anbieten in meinem Werft

[@adrianwoodworm]

Vielen dank Arthur, das ist sehr motivierend! Liebend gerne würde ich in einer Werft arbeiten, leider ist Holland ein bisschen weit weg😊

I really love the extra storage and your use of bamboo skewers to create mini railing. It looks great Adrian! The remote control switch for your grey water set up is also quite clever, as well as your use of magnets. I will have to incorporate those into my own build. Magnets are quite practical. The folding step is wonderful too. I have a question about the bilge pump. It appears to be on the floor of your berth space rather than in the bilge along the hull. The intake for a bilge pump is in the grates on the bottom of the pump. Is your hull that close to your flooring (it's been a while since I watched your early build) ?? Or is it an emergency precaution for flooding? As usual, great video mate! Cheers!

[@adrianwoodworm]

Thank you Erik, I appreciate your compliment! The hull is really that close to the floor. This design allowed me to maximize the space and have a high ceiling. That extra height has been used to store the bed frame under the ceiling. The pump is sitting on a 1/2 piece of plywood that I glued on the hull, which gives me more meat for the screws. This boat doesn't really have a bilge space in the traditional sense, the pump is more for an emergency rather then bilge water. In part 5 I tried to explain why I don't expect any water to accumulate. This boat differs by design and intended use greatly from most boats, so different rules apply. I will pick up on this topic again in the future when I start dealing with the stern.

[@erikbrush]

@@adrianwoodworm I remember you having mentioned this. I figured it was just an emergency precaution. I didn't realize that your floor and hull were so close, but it makes sense. The extra wood for the screws was a great choice. I like how well you plan things out. Most excellent. I was also surprised by the green residue from the original hoses to the fuel line. I'm glad you checked and switched lines.

I'm sure you've answered this elsewhere, but what is your background? I'd assumed it was engineering, but you've got such a great eye for aesthetics as well.

[@adrianwoodworm]

Well, it is complicated😆I had a career as a dental technician in Germany, but I gave up on it when I moved to Canada for a life with less stress (and less money). I worked in landscaping, I worked on a ranch for 6 years fixing fences and operating equipment like a grader, loaders, tractors, skidsteer etc. I also worked for an electrician and an outfitter company, and now we have a small farm and we sell vegetables and garlic on the side. So you could say I have been all over the place the last 10 years. What I know about woodworking and engineering I learned with the help of KZbin and the internet in general. The last 8 years I spent at least 1-2hrs a day online to educate myself and learn new skills to get where I am today. I always had a thing for art so I guess that helps with the aesthetic aspect.

[@GPDIY]

Wow. Amazing attention to detail!

[@adrianwoodworm]

Thank you! It is very time consuming, but I had fun on this one!

[@seventeenreasonsails]

What tempature and how long did you cook that wood, in order to make it curve? It looks great!!!

[@adrianwoodworm]

I set the oven at 200°Fahrenheit and 20 minutes was all it took to make them flexible. That being said, those strips where only 3/32 of an inch thick, it definitely would take longer with thicker wood. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@SgtBrewdawg]

Great video! I love how you use those bamboo skewers. I’ve had to use the same for all kind of little projects. I really love how you think through your work and construction. Thanks again for sharing. Take care! 👍

[@adrianwoodworm]

Yes, they are a very versatile material and super cheap at the dollar store! Thanks again for watching! Cheers!

[@larryfromwisconsin9970]

Interesting. I might do the same, or similar, more simple.

[@adrianwoodworm]

😄yeah, simpler might be a good idea, I tend to overcomplicate everything.

[@zacheryedwards6925]

put a float on the remote (just in case). Everything is so well thought out !!

[@adrianwoodworm]

Thank you! I plan on using this setup only on land and the door only closes when it is locked in the same time, so technically it should never be possible to drop the remote in the water.
