Interior upgrades for MV Zephyrus -

[@Nena84734]

Dang Peter, I could watch you woodworking all day, you’re so talented! Her boat is so beautiful, and you’ve made it so much more!

[@patrickcwillis]

“Work is our Joy” is a phrase from the salmon gillnet fishing industry of the past on the lower Columbia River. Love it!!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Love it!

[@s.dawson2490]

Peter yours is easily my favorite channel on all of KZbin. I've learned from you to keep advancing my projects. It doesn't need to be perfect now, just keep working at it. There is some real wisdom in that perspective. You are an inspiration keep it up!!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Great to hear!

[@richardpace9818]

This is like Bob Ross (The joy of painting) for wooden boats.Very addictive viewing

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

I hear that remarkably often

[@michaelkraus5984]

Holy Ottawa! That small hole / large hole trick blew my mind! I have 47 applications of that hack in my house. Bless you!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Heh, you're welcome

[@dennisreeves632]

That port window looks way better than it did painted. Well done Peter.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

I really like it.

[@chrissturgeon1571]

Yeah, Peter, work it! I liked the bare porthole with the steel counters and backsplash, really ties the room together. I love the 'teaser' jolly boat at the end!

[@sodoffxx]

You knocked it out of the park. I think your best production yet. The ever personal intro (beats the usual replay), Fabulous editing. Handy tips. Honest mistakes. Great design and attention to detail (knowing you like to keep it quick and easy). Bloody hell man it's a masterpiece. Also the porthole ended up fabulous. Kudos.

[@stuwalton1384]

I never even thought of that trick with the hole saw! Awesome, thank you!

[@steveinseattle6952]

Ok, yet another haiku4U: Charlie's still barking Peter's fixing Ed monk boats A work of pure love

[@dondonner1095]

Somehow you make watching you work something I enjoy doing each week. Another fun episode, Thanks.

[@nancyrobbins7022]

Great meeting at Port Townsend! Not a beer drinker but enjoy beer of the week just the same. We too are back to work after the escape to the show. Never get tired of the woodworking and little improvements. Wood boats always produce a bit of work to do. Love it love it love it

[@RoyBlumenthal]

You need a good "beer of the week" Sharpie with you at all times. When some random stranger hands you a beer, pull out the Sharpie, and write their name right there on the bottom of the can.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Damn good idea!

[@loubonaparte5063]

I love the boat festivals, but we come to see your do this stuff!!!! I admire your style Knowles... humble while fearin NADA!!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you, too kind.

[@chriscurwen3059]

Peter, are you ever going to get Geordie 'in the shed' and finish her for some 'ambitious cruising some day'?

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Quite soon. She'll be in the shed most of the winter.

[@TheMyllymaa]

Very nice work with the porthole.

[@michaellovell9625]

I love the finish work on Zephyrus. Great job Peter. 👍 I can not wait to see the work you have planned for the boat under the tarp. Until next week stay safe. 🛥🇺🇸

[@injoycards]

AW GEE, you make all your work look fun! Both hubby + I seem to spill paint and get caulk all over us! But for some reason, we are still having a great time repairing our boat. All in the name of LOVE, right? x x x fuzzy slipper

[@pfalzgraf7527]

I'm not emotionally invested enough to scream at the screen Just silently said: "if that works will be seen!" That you removed the porthole gave me inner satisfaction. But All in all it was nice porthole-action. The unpainted industrial look works great! Like all the work on the cabin - even though it's less bright.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

And yet again he manages the sublime. Thank you, thank you.

[@mikeskelly2356]

For low pressure 'gasket' seals, I've always found surgical tubing bedded with 'instant glue gel' to be a long lasting and effective solution to hard to source channel gaskets. The stuff comes in many diameters and colors, so you can be choosy... 🐕

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Woo, I like it!

[@pepperjake44]

Nice work on the cabin. What I learned this week, inserting a second hole saw to center when cutting a larger round hole. Brilliant. Cheers!

[@steveinseattle6952]

Yes, that concentric hole saw thingy. Boy do I wish I knew about that years ago!

[@normanroberts6680]

Lady Zephyrs should be quite pleased with your work. As usual very tidy, and well thought out as well.👍

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

I hope so!

[@caprovan]

I think the porthole worked out fine, up to Lady Z if she wants it painted back to white or not! A pleasure to see you back to tasks… and a teaser that’s hopefully not too much extra work!

[@peterbrandt9725]

What a fantastic cliffhanger.

[@milt7348]

Stay safe and we'll see you next week.

[@mySeaPrince_]

14:12 took me by surprise as I realised it wasn't you 😻 I would have considered using pocketed screws for the top rail, which would have meant preassembly and slide the whole thing on.. also possibly making it wider with a tall fiddle on the bedside.. and installing also oiling (before installation to hide the wires) ... bead LEDs underneath both sides but controlled separately? Some brass nuts could set off the Scuttle .. it's an opening Porthole. The seals you could make.. my favourite is casting them... It means making a mould and using high quality silicone but they work out really cheap and work really well. You can make the mould round which I prefer or a straight line and a tiny spot of silicone to join, paint a little veg oil in the grove to stop adhesion and if you use a strip push the length in don't stretch it, this also applies to the rubber filler on car or boat windows. My dinghy is a 1970 'With' 10ft fibreglass.. very similar in size to what would have been with my boat when it was on hire.. the original was extremely similar or the same as one of the sailing dinghies used on the Swallows and Amazon's film. I'm in the process of replacing my Fore Deck with T&G V Larch.. almost the same size as the original.. I have decided to have a 21" x 27" skylight with double glazed perspex, I will remove the water from the gap with silica. Totally transform's the room and when the Sun shines warms the air.. I've been wondering for decades, should have done it ages ago.. condensation doesn't seem to be an issue and that is single glazed. Swapping to thick perspex improves insulation.. keep a look out in skips as shop's throw out the screen's or ask when they are removing them. Did you see my comment a while ago about packing the stern gland? What is the stove? 🐾🐾🐾 🐈

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Wow, so much going on here. Thank you. All good stuff. I'll have to review to see about the packing comment. I'm way behind. The stove is a Force 10.

[@paulsayers4387]

Pete how about installing the ability of lifting the bed base with the ability of accessing storage under the bed base similar to caravans. Just a thought 😀

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Hmmm, that might be quite clever.

[@t.tarkowski6653]

Thanks for another great episode, Peter! Your consistency is appreciated, I think you should know. Other channels come and go and sometimes leave us hanging… but you bring us updates, even if you might miss an episode, and we appreciate it. And, of course, we love your craftsmanship, and your attitude that sometimes, its good enough for now! It’s certainly more than good enough for me! Thanks for sharing your work.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Gosh, so very kind. Thank you.

[@pinkladybikermamma3603]

NICE FIX'IN. LIKE THE PORT WINDOW, TOO. NO NEED TO PAINT. HAS IT'S OWN CHARACTERISTICS.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

I think so.

[@dreweasterbrook2003]

Peter, even before you said it was good to be back working it was obvious that you are happiest in a shed. I think the descriptor you were looking for when considering the porthole is je ne sais quoi.

[@Buck1954]

I like the living quarters layout better than the traditional layouts seen in those boats. Great that you are providing better storage areas.

[@stephanking5941]

Love the detail on the foot of the bed/galley! Nice work, as always!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you.

[@glengullickson6538]

Nice work!

[@vintagetinrandykehler4824]

Your "work"manship is impressive. I see you don't mind the work!

[@stevenholton438]

Lovely work Peter, how I wish I had followed your vocation instead of fishing! lol

[@tubberman1974]

Peter, you made me jump when you were showing us the result of the free hand cut on the table saw while the blade was still turning. Keep up the good work.

[@TrapShooter68]

You can always copper plate the porthole. Its a bit time consuming, but not difficult

[@joepvanlunenburg1274]

I see a lot more ambitious work in the near future, I love it to watcht, cheers and ATB

[@tueurdepatate01]

Oh ! something new to work on a the end ! , the port hole is nice unpaint, but look good too with paint, its hard to choose between the 2

[@donaldsnow6618]

Painting the port hole a dark brown would look nice😊

[@darrylb4048]

(29 Sep) I was on a large boat with friends and seen all 3 of boats works in Genoa bay, they are looking great.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

I hope you enjoyed your stay.

[@dustymiller7758]

Great work again Peter, Well done.

[@maxmillion7007]

I think the porthole sort of ties in with the stainless steel counter and back splash now. Nice job on the interior. you make it look so easy... I guess you get fantastic results when you know what you're doing... :P

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Or pretend to....

[@jeffhabjinski5848]

Great episode, love the work you put into these old boats! very inspiring to watch. Looking forward to seeing the surprise under the tarp

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

It's going to be so much fun.

[@briancook4065]

Good to see your standards of wood work havn't slipped thought the word would have been porthole but work does it nicely

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you.

[@dfharris03]

This is my favorite KZbin channel. Amazing story telling and fascinating work. Thanks!

[@robertlandry5676]

Zephyrus has a very nice interior ✅

[@titusmoz]

oooh... something new I see! I wonder what secret works you have up your sleeve. Cheers, T.

[@geoffwright7110]

Peter, i so often pick up tips on working on timber and can apply them when needed, but the doubling up of the hole saw blades adds another arrow to my quiver. Great vids and all the best.

[@mickfisch96]

Peter I laughed at the end - how many boats is enough! (It’s never enough)

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

It's an addiction

[@steveinseattle6952]

Never, never, never enough 😊

[@neilmaguire5665]

Hi Peter the only I new that trick was from another very well learned person by boat stuff I thought I new! But learn more all the time on ur channel now, just got to get myself a wee boat

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

You should!

[@bigbandguru]

Great job on the port hole.

[@jaymarlin3565]

Another fine job..!

[@nobblynobody]

Well, in your defence, i bet that porthole was indeed a surprise.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Hell ya!

[@filipbruylant2021]

Nice work Peter ! I like that porthole.

[@stco2426]

Excellent to see more work being done. You make all this look so simple and produce such beautiful results. Plus film etc it for us all. Many thanks. Will next week's WOTW be 'reveal'?

[@davidbrown8365]

Jam packed episode with tons of great work. The interior is looking fantastic and it's going to be even better with the cabinets under and opposite the bed.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you

[@rmojo23]

Enjoy watching you work!

[@markallen8679]

heating the steel and dressing it with a brass wire brush will simulate a Bronze Port light

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Hmmmmm

[@richardgould240]

Great job on the porthole, hole saw tip 👍.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks

[@davidantill6949]

A very satisfying episode thank you

[@jimc4731]

Send the port hole out for brass/bronze plating 🤩 JIM 😍

[@harrisonandrew]

A superbly satisfying video. Loved it.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you

[@darrellc.symonds9339]

The holesaw guide, clever, thank you.🇨🇦

[@fonhollohan2908]

The mahogany veneer looks beautiful, along with the wood battens. BTW for the life of me I never understood why folks would paint those old bronze fitting and porthole window trims. They only need a bit of maintenance and they look fabulous.

[@charlesgoranson1963]

Love ur new format

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Errr, what's my new format?

[@JohnJensenArtist]

Love your work, love it, love it love it.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@samfuller6273]

I "worked" hard today, painting my laundry room.

[@patrickjernigan1025]

Your truly gifted Peter

[@johndewaard8032]

Nice work peter

[@stephenfreeman8617]

Loving your work peter. 🙌🙌 great video as always.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks

[@brucewilliscroft2539]

Awesome job as usual

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks

[@Sluf7]

Nothing quite like freshen up to make a difference came out really good 😊. Bugger bout the Port holes but hey ya win some and some ya don t 😮😅 I like ya attitude it,s all let's move along. Good to see Ms Z massage her on Timber means ya invested in the change.😂 Keep at it now.😊😅

[@simonfarrow5873]

Peter you tease! After all that work you just had to go and raise a skirt on yet another woodie!😂

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Couldn't resist.

[@jeffreylord8172]

Peter , POLISH THOSE PORT HOLES, they will look so much better.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Polished galvanized steel?

[@chrispinkney8182]

Thanks ...

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

You're welcome!

[@patrickhotra9241]

Have you tried coating the sides of the bungs with the finish that you use? It acts like a weak adhesive, so that you can still remove them at a later date.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

I used to do that, but don't really see the need. I use tapered bungs and they are really tight.

[@jeffreylord8172]

I t Houghttheywere brass or bronze, they can be buffed, I suggest Tripoli polish (a brown polish) which has a light abrasive in with the polish . Use a loose leafe mop/polishing buff Works particularly well for non ferris metals Ish

[@maddog1082]

Oh boy, that teaser looks like there might be even more work in your future.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Without a doubt

[@SimonElenor]

Should powercoat the portholes in a bronze colour.

[@djmini2numpty141]

top tip!

[@paulandsueroberts4121]

I thought you were going to re-bed the port hole!

[@harveypost1841]

The lost episode...not me im allright I guess, pushing 74 without the cord.oh yes a different cord at 74 a catheder up my urethra..

[@richb313]

Even if the port hole were bronze it still needed to be removed you can't or shouldn't strip in place otherwise a great start on a redo of the interior Peter.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Some lessons I learn slow.

[@grantpearson3667]

The knife in the back ground moves between shots. 28:33

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Damn, fire the continuity director.

[@TairnKA]

Are you going to de-paint the head porthole? ;-)

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

I did it at the same time.

[@chronoboat11]

Goodness!!! That porthole should have come off ????

[@theladyoflife]

What are your thoughts about weight gain? You use some pretty heavyweight materials in your works my friend. The boats you are working on are not the biggest ones around, so weight must be an issue in your plans right? From Amsterdam.....just some questions 😀

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Actually all these boats are lighter than they were. Mostly dues to much lighter engines. Wood is very light.

[@robertbutcher5566]

get it copper coated at crome shop

[@ian-c.01]

You'd probably need to strip it back to bare metal to plate it, not sure you can plate over zinc

[@pl-ps2pd]

If you enjoy it, is it still work?

[@JoeTheLion60]

Bronze coloured paint for the porthole??

[@williamnewman8850]

Does not look bad but horrible! Why leave it in place to remove paint? What’s with finding a brass one? Are they impossible to find and extremely expensive? Regards W Newman

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Hard to find and very very expensive.

[@SimonElenor]

Should powder coat the portholes in a bronze colour.

[@johnstarkie9948]

Power coat? Powder coat?

[@SimonElenor]

@@johnstarkie9948 Whoops! Either my blindness or auto-non-correct.

[@samuelspade889]

Bronze paint?

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

I considered gel wood stain......

[@sailpac]

Dont Paint It!

[@alessiognecco4322]

Peter, which oil do you use on mahogany?

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

I use tung oil as the base coat. Then on interior work I finish with MinWax wipe on poly.

[@alessiognecco4322]

Thanks a lot, Alessio

[@skwyrz1]

I would have tossed the steel portals and replaced with brass, It appears those are a standard size and nothing special? Surely look into the cost to do so?

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Actually they are quite special and fetch a huge amount of money when they rarely become available.

[@smokedoliver1]

Peter, for a guy who can fix anything,why not your trousers?

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Ventilation!

[@smokedoliver1]

👍

[@dukeallen6562]

Great episode Peter. Classic cosy.

[@simonthompson1973]

Finally caught up on your video's Peter. WORKmanship is fantastic as are the boats. If you get Brewdog ipa, try the hazy jane or the double punk. Fantastic beverages🛶👍
