Transom Disaster but Boatbuilding Heaven (Ep.10.) Two Blokes Build A Boat.

Conor paints the boat. I make a massive mistake on the transom but things look up with a visit to the fantastic Lyme Regis Boatbuilding Academy and Furniture School. If you would like to find out more about the BBA here's the link boatbuildingac...

Great content. Lovely to watch your progress. Thankyou again for sharing. Have a good weekend.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Thank you! You too!

[@Voltaire5482]

once again it is so great to see how many people still care and have the time to keep these skills and trades alive.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Thank you.

[@mikecurrie1795]

Another great episode. The 40 week course is near the top of my wishlist.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Go for it!

[@chrishalstead4405]

It gladdens my heart to see passionate craftsmen pass on these precious skills 😊😊

THanks

Awesome video guys

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

THanks.

Another belter! Don`t knock yerself out about the transom, it`s an easy cosmetic repair and a lesson learned. As my old Sarn`t Major was want to say, "If you`ve never made a mistake, you`ve never made anything!" Fair winds lads xx

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Great saying!

[@PhillipSinn]

Regarding the transom disaster. You could neatly chisel out a deliberate shape both port and starboard and then inlay some timber into it. You probably have offcuts of the transom timber laying around. Just a thought from an Aussie OCD boat builder.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Now that would be neat!

[@Lanxe]

Great video and so nice to see the trees being planted and the boat building school.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Thanks.

[@evewilkinson9653]

Lovely video. The boatbuilding school is something that I have always wanted to do. I wish this video had been released about four weeks ago, I could have saved £80 + on buying a keel band 🤦🏻

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

You should definitely check out the BBA.

[@TheSalMaris]

Thank you for this. Not such a disaster but a learning opportunity. The boat is lovely. You two have done a really fine job. Love those lines.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Thanks

[@johnsmall9729]

Lovely video again, thanks chaps. On a practical note, special thanks for the copper pipe tip! I'm restoring a 17' Kragerø Terne sailboat, and the copper strip along the keel broke up as I was removing it. Wondered how I would replace it, and there it was all of a suddenly!

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Glad to be of service. Good luck with the project.

[@peterrobinson44]

😧I felt your pain and have suffered the same sensation during my boatbuilding efforts. Sadly, I am usually much more vocal afterwards and spend hours trying to conceal the results. Well done for showing us the gruesome event - much more healthy and instructive! 🙂

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Thanks it was a tough call.

[@dreamtimesv]

Great thanks.😊

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

👍

[@andrewnaylor3965]

little nicks like yours make the boat so individual with a sole built into it. Some scars can be beautiful.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

I like this idea!

[@jeffreyfisk2812]

Thank you sincerely for your channel and hello from Rock Island, Tennessee USA. Each week I look forward to your progress. You are creating a work of art which is truly lovely. Worry not about the slight mishap. My first boat has a number of them and each was a learning experience. Keep up the great work!

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Awesome to know that you're following from so far away. Thanks.

[@sailingpolly-adventuresona9709]

Another excellent video chaps really looking forward to seeing your boat on the water soon Love the boatbuilding school got me inspired to visit hopefully on their open day And the planting what a great idea Let me know re launch plans looking forward to joining you and Connor on the water Kev

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Great - hope you manage to visit.

[@jimneely4527]

I really enjoy watching the videos of your boat building experience. Best wishes and thanks for sharing.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Thank you very much!

[@andrewknill8652]

Great episode again guys - addictive viewing! I’ve only done a short intro course at BBA but what a brilliant organisation - great place to learn and I hope to get back again soon.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Me too. The sailmaking course looks great doesn't it!

[@stevemudge4869]

Excellent program as always jon!

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Thanks Steve.

[@jerrycomo2736]

A few years ago, an online experienced wooden boat builder out of New England area of the US recommended as a finish, BLO and Spar Varnish. I used it and in a year in the South Florida sun, it turned black. It was about this time this boat builder said, "Oh by the way, that BLO/Varnish mixture I told you about, may turn black over time." However, interior pieces and exterior pieces not exposed to direct sun look as good as new with mild touch up to the finish every two years.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Interesting!

[@Zabessa]

See if you can sign on to the Lyme Regis Physics course next time Jon. Things heated with a blow torch often get hot. Great vid, Have decided you're making a nice Harrison Butler double-ender next so you'd better get planning on that. You might need a bigger shed.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Thanks for the tip!

[@russellesimonetta9071]

Just an old American adage,,,,, make haste slowly. It all right it,s still a cool boat!

[@markalton2809]

Great place, I did the sailmaker's course there about 10 years ago.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

I'd love to do that course too.

[@markalton2809]

@@jonsealwoodturning4673 The actual cutting and shaping of a sail is very intuitive, if you've done any aeromodelling or have a good understanding of aerodynamics you'd find it quite easy. The work is in the tabling and patching, reinforcing the stress points in the correct way, etc. It's a very worthwhile course and just a week out of your life.

[@richardparsons7012]

You're only human, just like the rest of us. As my journey man would say, "a feature at no extra cost".

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Love it!

[@k9six185]

I was screaming….nooooooooooooo as I watched the mishap

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

A tough watch!

[@stevenjystad8757]

The shock wore off after I 'created some character' on the canoe I built last summer. Then the irritation started to dissipate when I realized that the first hard rock strike on the lake bottom would cause a lot less pain when it inevitably happened. If one plans to use a boat, rather than mount it on a wall as art, the little mistakes can be a good thing.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Wise words thanks

[@drascombeatchurchouseboats6268]

Are you going to make the launch a "public' event..live just north of youvandcsail out of Starcross TC..would love to come along

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Hi. we're still thinking about and planning a date. You know what tides on the Exe are like!

[@papataffy]

You made me scream! It seems you keep the old playwright wisdom - let your character suffer.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Will it be a tragedy or a comedy?

[@bawrytr]

I was just going to say, "tell the man he's cutting into the transom!" don't just sit there filming. There's this thing called the moaning chair in most boat shops. could just raise the waterline an inch or two

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

You need to shout louder next time!

[@spring4522]

I found myself trying to warn you by yelling at the screen as you cut into the transom. I'm not sure who was more upset by it, you or me? We've all done something similar. In my shop is a chair. It is known as the Moaning Chair. The object of the exercise is to spend as little time sitting in it as possible.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

We'll get one!

[@maxiemills6982]

Imperfections are a part of life.

So true.

I tried to warn you..but I'm too far away to do any good.

[@jonsealwoodturning4673]

Thanks for trying though!

@@jonsealwoodturning4673 No problem.. I mess up all the time from being over confident or being in too much of a rush.
