Using Virtual Reality for Boat Design - Ep. 326 RAN Sailing

[@fishabit]

OMG! I was in heaven watching you walk through that gentlemans shop. How did you resist buying everything!? I love it when I know the history of the tools I own, most of them are old but quite capable. Cannot wait to see them in action. The VR was eye opening for me, what a great time to be alive!

[@lkirkby3]

Your ability to source the right stuff for your build really adds to your potential and also to the potential savings in costs. The winter scenes were beautiful.

[@richardhiggins9856]

Great video glad you found those machines should really help and you get a price brake too 😀

[@iancohen150]

You make everything seem so easy! "I found a truck", and within seconds "finally everything is on the truck"! This would be a daunting task for the average man! Yet you remain calm, and get every job done. Really inspiring!

[@Nabilasailing]

Finding this treasure trove of machines is like early Christmas. Congrats.

[@sunline24]

As a retired cabinet maker, I really enjoyed this video and look forward to the boat build.

[@leeluck1968]

Bedankt

[@scarletbegonias2359]

I have seen where some sailing channels do long term refits and their viewership drops off, however I seriously doubt that yours will. You three are such a kind family and I think what you're doing to very interesting, I look forward to the next installment. Having the farm all to yourselves has got to be a real treat, snow chases the farmers away.

[@kevinlytle6215]

Wow that was everyone's dream to find quality tools in a garage and from someone who can tell you a story or two. So glad to see things really shaping up. That VR walk through was a great idea. Having a sense of scale that an onscreen view can't give is worth the effort.

[@Buzzcook]

Here in the US there are lots of old men looking to give their tools to a good home. I'm sure you old carpenter was happy you found him.

[@michaelphilip3919]

Ya, am just going thru selling a lot of my old shop tools

[@johnparker7945]

what a tool haul!! you walked into quite a deal!

[@extasiasailing1076]

Very thrilling to follow the process!

[@MacomberArtProjects]

the older machines are so much better quality. I feel like you really found some treasure.

[@robertbartelmes7623]

Coupla things: the opening segment with Malin & Vera playing in the snow was both a beautiful, bucolic landscape & a heart-warming family scene; and Johan musta felt like a kid in a candy store when he discovered all of those industrial-quality carpentry machines in one place ... and all of that red cedar for a good price would be the icing on the cake - Bart

[@thomaswhaley4024]

I once owned a 20 meter cat, strip plank epoxy glass that was struck at sea by a 300 meter container ship moving at +/- 20 knots. My boat was badly damaged but did not take on water. The hull absorbed the impact by flexing. Unbelieveably strong. The strips were 100mm wide and 15mm thick. It is much easier to build these boats with thicker strips that are still at least 100mm wide. And the gaps between the strips can be quite wide. The wider the gaps are the more the epoxy can shrink and expand as it flexes, and the wider the strips are the easier and fast the build. The extra epoxy/filler used to fill wider gaps costs very little, do the math. A major mistake made in the building of my boat was the 15mm thickness of the strips because you could not fair the boat by sanding the wood, if you sanded away 3mm in spots it would be too thin. So they added 4-5mm of fairing compound to the outside which is heavy and much harder to sand. Use thicker strips and you can fair the wood, which is quite easy to sand and level.

[@trevhedges]

13:54 You’re using my idea, thank that gentleman so well, Marlin can make him a cake, Or something, now you need to be friends with his friends! Great stuff guy’s! Take him out to his favourite pub for a meal and meet him friends..

[@cameronurquhart1515]

Johan, you may have found an apprentice in the man you bought the machines from. Think of the knowledge that that man has in his head. Love these videos, and cant wait for the actual boat build to commence.

[@robertc9424]

We call the snow frog a “pogonip” it’s a Native American word for frozen fog. Sweden is beautiful!

[@lucasd6078]

The ensnowed landscape was so beautifull. Good luck with all this heavy machines.

[@dantoddruns]

You guys are doing a great job telling this story. I hope you are able to get the wood you need too.

[@tomcraddock244]

Awesome you found such a generous gentleman/carpenter!! Can’t beat the old machines !! I have a feeling you just found a good supply of cedar !! well done.it’s taking the shape of a boat shed !! Fair winds⛵️

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

You hit the motherload with that guy. Quality machines indeed and a lovely bench. Might be a good idea to get one of those hydraulic pallet trucks so you can move this stuff around easier. As for the VR that was very cool and it will be interesting to see what your naval architect thinks of it. Beautiful scenery with the snow. Happy days. Andy UK

[@johnmitchell7207]

Hi I am from a farm in Scotland and love your drone shots over your farm showing the seasons,it looks a lovely place to live,keep up the great variety of things you do it keeps the interest going for me,oh and your lorry driver was spot on guy taking time to get equipment into the barn and not just dump it in yard, been a fan since ran 1.

[@andrebelanger7798]

Thanks for this video. You have found the keeper of Alibaba's carpenter's cave for all his treasures. Thank you and have a good week.

[@carltontweedle5724]

the sound of snow on a cold frosty morning is crispy its great

[@barryreid8877]

Love those old machines, I have a few that are similar. Keep the videos coming guys and gals lol. Awesome

[@adam56usa]

Industrial machines. Much better than home tech! Good find!

[@MikeSantis]

Johan looks like a little boy that has just received many new toys :-)

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

Beautifully short and edited. Am loving going back through this boat build. She's a gorgeous lady Ran III

[@bengt_axle]

That snow changes everything. It looks like a Jonna Jinton video!

[@arkansasboy45]

What a score on the old machines and I really liked the old European workbench.

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

Johan in "getter done!"-mode. We need some machinery, so we go get a couple machines. Might have washed up Red Cedar also .... It seems so easy! Poseidon might want to have You out there again as soon as possible, obviously 😄 Congrats and thanks for sharing.

[@donnakawana]

So very exciting. Johan that was a great connection to find close by. A carpenter by trade an skill is a great person to Kno ...! an the virtual vessel was amazing. It's Crazy what you can do now technology is amazing!! Thanks again for sharing your lives with us ✌🏼💗😊⛵

[@adjake1]

Beautiful sunset/sunrise on the snowy farm

[@deeparks3112]

Exciting episode, thank you! The VR looked quite amazing. That Old School woodworking machinery is exactly what you will need when doing the interior of RAN III.

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Anticipating your planned access to mechanical, electrical & plumbing systems for maintenance & upgrades.

[@RANSailing]

Thanks for the input! We’ll make sure to cover that in a future video. 😊 Cheers!

[@normanboyes4983]

Brilliant work surfing the old machine tools.👍

[@willemvanleeuwen1727]

As we are watching your weekly video the temperature her in Northern Alberta Canada is -33c. Stay warm

[@RANSailing]

Wow! -33 C! 🥶

[@Karma-fp7ho]

Wow the VR sailboat was amazing. So helpful to get a sense of the space.

[@konaok1]

SCORE! Nice find, the tool Gods are with you!

[@passinthru4328]

Great find Johan!

[@susanleonard3975]

Those snow scenes were absolutely beautiful.

[@donnarocchio936]

I love the fact that you were able to secure the equipment that you will be needing as you go forward. You are a very resourceful person. Looking forward to the next Video.

[@manfredseidler1531]

I'm coping with tool envy... best of luck

[@Tomm9y]

What a great find for you, solid machines, perhaps without some of the latest 'bells and whistles'. Apart from getting a fair price, the seller should be so happy that the machines will be used on a lovely project, building RAN III. The VR is interesting, I wonder how it takes into account the thickness of the interior, lining, panelling bulkheads.

[@OnTourWithPattiSmith]

Asymmetrical cockpit benches ... .. on the port side you can make that bench wide enough to lay down on and you will find it your favorite place on the boat.

[@foxtanker4055]

haha Vera... come on mom keep pulling the sled :) Good job on the tooling find. I am sure there is more wood and tooling to be found if you can get into the right network.

[@boomerangfishact6754]

Yeah, the workshop is coming alive! Great! Get or build yourself a decent dust extraction system for the machines. They make a hell a lot of dust!

[@RANSailing]

I actually got one in the package, but I forgot to show it in the video. Cheers!

[@chrismilne4511]

In Canada we would call it ice fog!

[@jeffgrunden1098]

The VR really can help make sure you and your designer are on the same page without making practical models, so very cool. What a find on the heavy tools!! It's all coming together now.

[@quantumac]

I'm glad you guys got a chance to explore the boat in VR. It's a very useful and entertaining technology. I fly aircraft in VR all the time in X-Plane 11.

[@eduardomontes1276]

Nice toys !!!! I love wood working and those good old machines.👍💪💪

[@uppis45]

Thanks!

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

I really don't like winter but there is something beautiful about winter scenes like the ones in this weeks video. That said as I'm typing this it's currently -26 c in Regina Saskatchewan with a windchill of -35 c, so I really can't wait until spring!

[@DaveHines1]

Not the normal scenery on a sailing channel , but that snowy landscape is beautiful. 😊

[@salnichols94805]

You’re going to need a big dust collection vac with suction at each machine Johann. It’ll help keep your layups clean downstream.

[@McTroyd]

It's nice to see VR being used for something other than games! Surprising what's visible when you can stand "in" the boat and look around. Great find with those tools, too! I'm sure they'll all be put to work.

[@BobMuk08]

Cool Tools.. & Johan like a Boy in a sweet shop😃

[@bluewendytube]

Another enjoyable episode with some wonderful scenic, winter views. How great to be able to visit ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ and pick up all that machinery and get it into place, ready for action.

[@bryonensminger7462]

Before you go setting machines in place you should on the shop floor Kay out a ruff out line of the boat so your sure you gave the room

[@VictoriaWargaming]

I am really enjoying watching Johan nerd out with the equipment :)

[@stevehofmann9525]

Another fine video. I've been watching since episode #1.

[@fgansell]

So nice to see the snow there, i love your shots. What wonderful luck to source a few necessary machines from that man, you are on your way. Thanks for sharing.

[@egreens8512]

It's coming together, the machines needed found you, wonderful stuff

[@familyupgrade]

Jamen herreGUD, vilka bra grejer ni hittade! Jag hade limmat på den där gulliga gubben och tagit allt, inklusive den där fantastiska lampan med rosa skärmar! Shitt alltså, ni har det bra söderöver! KRAM! /Catta i blaskiga Sundsvall

[@MrA1582000]

So happy for you yo find the needed tools. Thank you for taking us on this build process.

[@Wargunsfan]

I have had the pleasure of visiting Sweden. You are fortunate to be living in such a beautiful and historic country. Good luck with the boat build and be sure to involve Vera along the way so she will think of Ran III as "her boat".

[@Rejoicing]

Congratulations on the new machines! Your property is so beautiful!

[@Deerwood1985]

Absolutely magnificent video, I'm glad for all the progress, the place is beautiful but with snow it's wonderful. Thank you.

[@pavichapin]

Nice equipment. I used to have a cabinet shop with the commercial grade equipment.

[@danielorr2972]

Lucky that you were able to buy "experienced woodshop tools!" A craftsman needs good tools to perform his artistic production! Tools in the hands of the master artist are the beginning of fulfilling his dream project. Let the build begin! Autograph your efforts with excellence, it will be a self-portrait of the person you are. Carpe Diem!

[@farmerjimbob67]

Nice kit to get going with👍

[@chris-yale]

Ah, another brilliant video folk's and what a great find from the old carpenter, good karma!!! Lovely to see little Vera growing so fast too. All the best.

[@garypiggott5859]

Brilliant. Love what you are doing. wouldn't miss an update.

[@svlamancha9877]

Well done scoring a good deal on a full set of equipment for your workshop. I noticed quite a lot more mould frames in the background😁. 👍

[@petersytaccount6071]

And so it begins!! 🙌

[@billb.6109]

I bet Malin was glad that Johan didn't take a bigger truck,...what a wonderful find, enjoy your new toys! Safe travels.

[@tomas5376]

What a score! Hopefully he has enough red cedar to complete the hull. I had a 36’ Controversy sloop that was strip planked with Port Orford Cedar. A great boat. Wish I still had it!⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@scottsanford216]

Now you'll need a snowmobile!

[@judsonquiaoit8256]

This will truly be a classic adventure... Your a beautiful threesom. Working on a patreon, potential... You have a wonderful spot for Vera to grow... lv

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Wow such a blessing to find old, but sturdy equipment for the workshop. Beautiful scenery with all the snow❄️❄️☃️☃️ so excited for all of you 🙏🙏💕💕💕⛵️⛵️

[@helleforsdata]

Tack!

[@flynder-5564]

A great video. I'm amazed at how you guys seem undaunted by such huge tasks! I'm full of admiration and of course the VR makes sense with your high-tech approach to design and construction.

[@bobogliddabrun]

Nice selection of tools

[@HellyWelly93]

Looking like a great workshop!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Finding the machinery was a win-win for both of you. Getting the machinery out of that mess was no less a monumental task. 🤞he has plenty of the western cedar you need. Thanks for sharing. I loved sledding with Vera. 🛷💙

[@jamvermaat]

What a nice episode I enyoed every second off it, greetings from Voorburg, Holland

[@HopeOfJoe]

And the prep continues. I am happy [and admire] you putting off the rush into the build to get set up first. Love the tenacity and vision. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝 👙 🌞 ✨

[@andrewjames7616]

Thankyou 👍

[@TheAdventureLocker]

So incredible! Someone suggested we check you guys out since you also sailed in Alaska... Very cool. Love the new design of the boat as well. Have a great day!

[@smulismuli7976]

Johann, I would not get 4-sided planer I would have a shop to do that for you. It's one off job. I wrote to you earlier when you first announced about building a boat. We have build boats before with the exact same principle. How you want those strips is one side planed (inside the boat) other side more "hairy/not finished" the outside. The joining sides with U and reverse U shape (guess scalloped is the right English word). Straight edged stripes won't work

[@MrPaulcm1]

That's amazing! What a great way to look at your boat. Oh that snow is beautiful. What a great find with the machines. Love the vlog :)

[@UweBehrendt]

i caant wait for this weekly vidio

[@ianmcfadden4709]

good score on the tools they look ideal

[@Tim8mit]

wow that is quite a good collections of machines....I hope you got them for a good price . Congratulations

[@mariemorrissey9378]

Catching up! 👍👍✔✔👏👏

[@raymckee2450]

You know, I felt like sitting down when you both were using the VR machine. It could be a bit dangerous, I think if you forget that there is not really a chair there at all. Your farm is wonderful and what a place to head to when you are having a little rest from sailing!

[@gidge34]

That equipment is so GOOD💪

[@petevonschondorf4609]

exciting stuff, VR walk through of RAN plan and Christmas from the tool fairy! I was jealous of the CNC router! Sadly I was looking forward to a you using hand tools and "homeowner" sized electric tools.

[@trygvethomassen6393]

nice plan ,look like to be a nice boat , good look

[@rexstiger6090]

Very cool to find those tools!
