EP 451 - Fitting Shelves Where They Don't Belong: Forward Head Refit Series: 6 - TWG

[@mchurch3905]

Wonderful work. Peter you are the very definition of a glutton for punishment…😊

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Then I'm grateful for the achievement! Thanks for watching and we'll see you next week!

[@American_Jeeper]

Peter, it occurs to me that if you built a box to cover that bowsprit block, and positioned it in such a way that the box was centered, you could no longer see that the block is not centered. You could build it so that it becomes part of the rope light cover that will illuminate the Hull Identification Number. Decorative and functional. It still won't take away from the fact that the bowsprit is off-center, but at least one problem will be eliminated. Just a thought.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

A fun and well though out solution! I think for practicality, I am just going to have to live with it for awhile. Thanks for commenting and for watching! Cheers!

[@American_Jeeper]

@@TravelsWithGeordie no worries, mate. I love thinking outside the box (pun possibly intended), and this was the only one that came to mind. Cheers!

[@peterbrandt9725]

What a beautiful room your forward cabin is turning into. I marvel at your attention to detail. Keep safe and enjoy the boat festival. As ever thank you for the episode.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks as always Peter! I am quite pleased with how things are turning out. Cheers and see you next week!

[@theboatgeeks]

Always helping me get through my workday, thanks Peter!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Your most welcome! Your year end vid was awesome!

[@marcericdavis]

Great progress!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks so much Marcel!

[@atb1325]

Peter, there is light at the end of the tunnel! The forward head is going to be a nice place to sit and "contemplate" all the hard work you put into it. 🤣 Very skilled use of the table saw in this episode, well done Sir.👍

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you very much! I am really pleased. The forward head will become a template for the rest of the boat. Thanks for watching and we'll see you next week!

[@James_Innes]

@@TravelsWithGeordie Hopefully you will be able to see out of the ports when seated?

[@tenns]

This channel is peter and his decision making hell captured in real time aahhah, that and marvelous tung oil application

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Welcome to my life! I like it that way. Cheers!

[@Coyotehello]

Ha, look... Peter just dropping by! 🙂 Jeez you have a way with wood, you make it look soooo easy... "Bad words were said" LOL. See yah at he boat show likely Wed or Thursday early afternoon. Cheers, a

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks for that! I will be at the show from 11:00am - 3:00PM and from 7:00pm - 8:00 on Thursday. I'll also be back on Saturday from 5:00pm - 7:00pm. See you there!

[@CaptainZG]

Around 17:30 min in the video: how could you read my mind Peter, I am really very far from you 😊. Sure it would need some kind of "fence" ...this shelf 😀. Great job as usual, thank you for everything 👍👍

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

It would appear that regardless of distance, great minds do think alike! Thanks for watching Captain, we'll see you next week!

[@charlieostler8538]

You always make quality work look so easy. I appreciate seeing a true craftsman at work.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks so very much Charlie! Thanks for the kind words and for watching. Cheers!

[@Sluf7]

Great work as always Peter. Gonna be so Flash in there ya probably won,t let anyone in there. Don,t forget the piped Music now. Hey she will be good to go when Summer comes around again. Keep at it now. ;0]

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you very much! Heh, piped music. But I am very pleased with how it turned out. Cheers and see you next week!

[@BilgerWaters]

Very few people would have put this amount of effort into the ships head. Most would have shelved it out adding weight to the bow then building a lazy half arsed head compartment in some other space compromising living space and the feel of the boat. Wonderful result in a complex space Peter.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you very much! I really wanted to set the tone for the rest of the boat. This is the first space I have been able to complete and it's so satisfying to know where I am going from here.

[@patrickjernigan1025]

Beautiful work Peter I love watching you were sorry no beer of the week this time maybe next run around love you man take care

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks as always Patrick! Thanks for watching and we'll see you next week!

[@dondonner1095]

I learn something or are reminded of something new every episode. This time a reminder of how a sharp chisel is so necessary.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Don! It's such a pleasure when a chisel or a plane are the best tools for the job! Cheers and see you next week!

[@CattleDogsMom]

You are a Renaissance man with so many skills and talents! Love watching your videos and watching you make Geordie such a beautiful boat.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks ever so much for the kind words and for watching. Cheers!

[@robertgrennan2824]

I love it, love it, love it, as always, you are a wood god! And you do it all with basic tools and in cramped spaces while rolling with the waves. It's truly inspiring !

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you Robert! That's very kind. It's really just a matter of coping and enjoying the challenged rather than resenting them. Cheers and see you next week!

[@brentchalmers1436]

26:30 Just tap the extending bolts a bit till they are parallel. Actually the kink won’t hurt anything.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Yes, very true! But the hole in the block would be aligned with the crooked bolt, so tidier to just slide them back in from were they came.

[@darrylgardner2680]

Amazing job, Peter. So many problems to solve..it's always going to be that way, tight areas seem to generate BIG problems, but all capably dealt with, and looking sooo good. Cheers

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks as always Darryl. It's true, it is a challenging space. That just makes it all the more fun! Cheers and we'll see you next week!

[@normanroberts6680]

Nobody knew the block was off center. It doesn't hurt my feelings. Your fit and finish trump all. The room is turning out beautifully.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Heh, that may be true, but I knew it was! Thanks ever so much for the kind works Norman. Cheers and we'll see you next week!

[@4437RR]

Another episode of the DOTG Guru at work. Love it! Love it!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks so much! Is there any other way? Cheers and see you next week!

[@Georgina602]

Love it! Thanks Peter, you’ve taught me many things over the years since I found your channel. thanks for sharing all your tricks and experience.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Your very welcome, that's very kind Georgina. It's always nice to hear that people are learning something! Cheers and we'll see you next week!

[@SteifWood]

Always a next time/future fix ... love it.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

There's always a future fix with wooden boats!

[@hansscott9749]

Peter, I’m always amazed at the quality of your woodwork but am surprised you don’t do more templating using strips and hot glue. It seems it would be faster and more error proof, especially for those shelves.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

That's a great point Hans. Its's certainly a proven technique, just not one I have gotten into the habit of. Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@Ric613-u1c]

Boats are rarely simetrical. I discovered that the first time I tried using plank lines to balance out a paint job. Looking just great!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks so much Ric! I learned it with a one inch discrepancy in Poem's wheelhouse, yikes!

[@stuwalton1384]

You Sir are a true Master. Great work!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks so much Stu, I appreciate it!

[@timmueller9586]

Good video.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Tim!

[@JrR-fw5ph]

Turned out really nice👍

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you! I think so too!

[@dustymiller7758]

Fantastic work Peter, some tricky carpentry. Looking really good.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks as always Dusty! It was a very satisfying week.

[@MidnightAmratha]

Rubber string by the shelf to hold items, small and understated not acting as a dust collector.😊

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Ah, very tidy!

[@KarlLittle1975]

Wow Peter...absolutely amazing work!! ❤❤

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you! I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

[@robertrussellmd]

Beauty

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you!

[@woodyachttn2353]

It’s really coming along nicely.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you! I am really pleased. Cheers!

[@brentchalmers1436]

Peter, I’m on my way out to the Coast. I’ll do my best to bring you some of the best Alberta beer available in all of Alberta. If you hear a random Ahoy…it would be in your taste-buds interest to reply. Lol

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Sound great Brent! I will keep my ears perked! Travel safe and see you soon. Cheers!

[@todddunn945]

Some bronze rod and a die would have been under $100 CAD. I couldn't tell if those were 3/8" or 1/2" bolts. The estimate of under $100 CAD was for 1/2".

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Great point Todd! It would be good fun too. They are 3/8. Thanks for you comment and for watching. See you next week!

[@James_Innes]

Maybe room for a small cabinet for toiletry's with a vanity mirror on the door to keep the clutter hidden.

[@JohnRothert]

you are my fave but I am scared about all things Credit Card....while I have contributed via paypal in the past...I must investigate that medium again before I contribute...sign of the time...great work on your end...keep it up. John in VA

[@daveleephoto]

Just pay your statement balance on your credit card every month no exceptions. You’ll be fine.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks very much for your support John! And please, only if you feel comfortable. Very grateful to have you as a part of our crew. Cheers and we'll see you next week!

[@AndyBartlett-x8h]

For some reason I never get the same results as you when I try to cut a curve on my table saw. I always end up binding the saw. What technique do you use to prevent binding of the saw blade? Cheers!!

[@hansscott9749]

Oops, now I see why!

[@bryrensexton4618]

👍!!!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks as always Patrick! Cheers and we'll see you next week!

[@alan-sk7ky]

Is your shelf wide enough for a roll of bog paper to happily stand on end awaiting it's call to duty?

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Alan! What ever would it be for?

[@fonhollohan2908]

Holy Shit, $50 dollars a piece. unbelievable. wow! Know wonder things cost a bloody fortune these days. wow! wow wow. is all I can say,

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Yes Fon, bronze and teak are both becoming out of reach. It's a shame. Thanks for watching and we'll see you next week. Cheers!

[@sawsolutionsinc]

Peter let me know if you would like me to make you some bronze bolts and acorn nuts . Just need the sizes. I would love to contribute.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Oh my gosh! That would be wonderful! When you have a moment, can we connect via email? My email address is [e-mail].

[@pauldailey4477]

It may look right by eye, but it does not look right by fish eye. Well that's just my problem and maybe some other viewers.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Paul, I'll have to revisit it!

[@williamhart8974]

I cringe every time you pick up a marker. I have seen maker bleed through paint on an exposed steel beam. I have seen it bleed through vinyl wall paper when someone wrote room #'s on drywall, next to door openings. I have read about it bleeding through ceramic tile, when layout numbers were written on the backs for a complex pattern. So, kids, don't try this at home.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Wow that definitely is a consideration! I most always sand off any marker lines. Thanks for the reminder and for watching. Cheers!

[@darrelwalters]

Perhaps consider painting the block white the same as the ceiling - it won’t look then that bad, or change the block so the fixings are off centre, but if you sink the fittings and put a bung over them you would not know they are there. Another option is to use ‘rub and buff’ bronze finish to make the bolts look bronze… 👍🛟

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Two great options! I think I'll just be content to know that when i rebuild the foredeck, I'll get it right. Cheers and thanks for watching!
