[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hey thank you very much for your good comments and $support Kevin, much appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@rolandtb3]

Great < than 6 wks depending on holiday season plans, Jan 15 - 19. Busy time period finishing the interior, organizing the exterior. Lots of planning and coordinating with shipyard, mover, riggers, sail manufacturers. You look rested and re-energized. Finish with fiddling and start installing liners.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much for your good comments Roland, appreciated and Yes indeed, BUSY times alright!! A good call too re. that I look rested! On reflection it does seem like from the beginning of this year that things have all been falling into place as if scripted! All of this years work, leading to my recent "crash", leading to the necessary break, getting back into boatwork very refreshed and now all of this!! 😁👍🏻

[@Lostmissionary]

Bloody brilliant fella - GET IT ON!

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Scott, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@4englishlies875]

Wow, Bruce that is amazing! I am happy for you; this such good news. So after fit out and shake down how long will it be before you take a week off to sit and admire this beautiful boat while drinking margaritas? 3 mountain or so? While you are doing that make sure you pat yourself on the back not many people have the gumption to do this all by themselves. Congratulations!!

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hey thanks very much for your good comments Jeff, appreciated and actually I am hoping to be able to 'at-the-least' take a day of 2 of NO WORK and just relax and enjoy that Mistress is in the water, soon after she is launched, which will also be before I get her sails 🙂👍🏻

[@howardtwigg8743]

All the best to you and Sy Mistress. We have enjoyed every episode of the build and now look forward to our launch

[@BuildingSYMistress]

The low periods seem insignificant now hey. Enjoy the feeling, and also the fruits f your labour. Congratulations well done. 🎉👍👍

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much for your good comments Ian, appreciated and I think that our low points are mostly all unavoidable parts of our own "sine wave" life stories hey,.. 🙂👍🏻

[@ianmajor4000]

Without the lows we have no way of measuring the highs. You have to be very proud of your achievements. Not many people ever achieved this. I’m am so pleased for you. 👍👍

[@PropanePete]

It’s been a long haul but you are nearly there. Mistress is going to be a beautiful boat.

Great to see your little lizard buddy still hangin' in there! (was honestly just wondering about the little feller at the beginning of this video!) As usua,l more good work. And that's wonderful news! things are coming together nicely. One question: where's the mast? Don't recall hearing anything about that...

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much for your good comments Crusty, appreciated and yes, 'little mate 🦎' is still very much a daily companion. re. mast/rig, you will be seeing and hearing more about this soon ahead,.. 🙂👍🏻

[@ronster963]

Another great video Bruce! Your woodworking skills and professionalism really show through. I watch every video and am greatly anticipating your launch.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hey thanks very much for your good comments and for following Ronster, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@peternash6206]

Great news Bruce. I have watched from the start and whilst your interior work is truly amazing and puts me to shame - I do want to see you move on to some more boaty stuff soon. Brilliant progress and look forward to the next phase. Take care.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much for your good comments Peter, appreciated and yes, there will be many work and project changes ahead 🙂👍🏻

Great news Bruce! I would love to come down and visit on the launch date! Would that be ok?

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Okyay, appreciated and we'll chat via gmail re. launch visit ok 🙂👍🏻

[@RachaelSA]

if you looking for stainless steel baskets you should look at catering supplies at the deep frying baskets, they may have something that fits.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your good suggestion, appreciated and actually I did look at many catering suppliers and they just don't have the longer rectangular shapes 🙂👍🏻

[@GogoFly68]

Bruce, I have to say I find your skill to be possible the best I have seen to date of the sailboat channels I subscribe too. Your woodwork is very professional and your setup work area really makes sense like no other channel can do. I think it may be good for you to reach out to other more popular channels to show off your project. For how long you have been doing this I think although the progress and frequency of videos is underwhelming I think you can expand your video output if you post a live stream even if it is like a Panda Cam where all you do is setup and press Go Live and do your thing for an hour, you don't need to talk just intro what your about to do and do it and after one hour pause your work do an outro thanking people for watching and end it there. You could do this one time a week and maybe gain some subscriptions if you do this once a week. For your edited videos like this one, sure they are done well, but the content although great leave's the viewer letdown as many if not most never complete in the video and its a letdown. The fact that you started the video with the Cabinet visible in the background looking unfinished, had me thinking by the end of this video I would see it complete only to watch the video to see the same progress from the start of the video left me expecting more and a bit letdown. We all understand that projects intertwine and do not get completed in a day/week or even month so instead of one project specific video intro leave it open to "Lets get back to the Mistress". You can include walkarounds and or photos throughout the boat. You can even post a video or slide show presentation to music or even a time lapse of the boat or a project. I know your focus is on the boat, and hoping to grow the channel, I just think your channel deserves more. Hell your skill level and quality of wood work I think you deserve 1M subscribers at least. Hell I think if you reach out to some larger channels they might mention you in their videos if they respect the work you do and that might help. All of this is meant to help not just bash you or your product.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much for your good comments Mike, appreciated and re. your suggestions, as I have explained many times, I am doing everything solo, on my own and I mean everything! So under the prior and current circumstances this is the best hand that I can put forward, which btw is free for all, but I still hold faith that many more people will join my current Patrons to help me out by contributing a little in supporting my efforts 🙂👍🏻

[@michaelhamilton1290]

Exciting news.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks Michael, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@phillipmetcalf9404]

Congrats on the dates. May hopes the snowball effect stays small enough so it seems you have some control over it. Question for you, is there some special insurance requirements to move the boat and it or does basic boat insurance cover that? Just curious.😊

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much for your good comments Phillip, appreciated and yes a good call on that things could get out of control, BUT, I think all of the planning should work out well, albeit no doubt some typical last minute late nights,.. re. moving insurance, I am not sure generally actually but I guess that each policy would likely be different and fyi the boat moving Co's do have insurance 🙂👍🏻

[@johnmead1337]

Exciting news indeed….

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks John, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@nautichunt84]

Super happy for you, congrats mate.did you do the insulation yourself and do you think it would be possible to do sections while living abroad or would the off gassing take to long for that? The old polystyrene foam in ours doesn't seem to do much

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hey thanks very much for your good comments, appreciated and re. insulation, yes I sprayed this myself and there are early videos showing that work. Any gassing off dissipates quickly, as in hours, but you would need to check per product and from my perspective the professional/proper 'DIY" kits really need to be used within 1 to 2 days and so doing small sections could mean costly product wastage 🙂👍🏻

[@nautichunt84]

@@BuildingSYMistress I will have to go back and watch them videos, thanks for the info

Hej Bruce Det er 😊😊godt håber alt vel 😊 Hilsen fra Danmark og Michael

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hej og tak Michael, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@billkahl1147]

Those panels look fantastic! Just curious though, are you going to put some kind of ceiling panels over the remaining spray foam insulation areas?

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your good comments Bill, appreciated and yes, the whole interior will be lined 🙂👍🏻

Hey its late April here.. have you launched????

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your question, jfyi here is an update kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGS9dXmnnq6KqcU and there are several episodes before and after this one so if you'd like to subscribe you can follow along and help out too 🙂👍🏻

[@katrinebohr3119]

This video TITLE? wtf, mr boatbuilder? your video 'branding' is sinking ship. Re-name all your videos, is my recommendation. Stick to actual boatwork in your titles.

[@katrinebohr3119]

Re-naming your videos to specific boat/work related tasks/results will multiply your subs.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your suggestions Katrine and I do really appreciate your efforts in going through my tittles and will take this onboard for ahead 🙂👍🏻
