Very impressed by the effort you guys are putting into the boat 💪.
Must also admit that, especially after this video, I feel extremely lucky living a place where the difference between high and low tide is about 50cm max 🙈
Great work both of you! Also I may have teared up while Simon was saying what a “wicked wife” he has! So sweet!
Yay ! Another episode !! I love watching ship happens. I’m from the UK but live in Canada now. It’s a bit like being back home watching you guys plodding away at your dream. You’re both inspiring people . She’d make a great live aboard dive boat and I think you guys would do well in the Caribbean 🤩
You two are an inspiration to a married couple joining each other on an endeavor together . Not many wives would go anywhere near getting their hands dirty so to speak . But to have one who gets in there right along side of her husband is a joy to see . To have this kind and type of relationship is the greatest ever . Thank you two for what you do .
Sorry, I do love your videos by the way, and you have way more commitment than i do. but one more tip. Use a pencil for marking, I know it is not always needing to be exact, but using a marker is very inexact. Better to try for perfect and fall close…
44:10 Wow, can’t believe you’re already at the end of the salon with replacing frames at the starboard side. Only some more meters to go until the transom.
Keep going, great job!
First time watching, thoroughly enjoyed your video. Subscribed.
👍
Congrats with your 100.000 from a Dutch guy living in Budapest….
Your cheerful perseverance and industriousness is a marvel to behold!
What is considered cold for the area they are in? Like in Fahrenheit. It's Been in the low 30s Fahrenheit here for the past week for example.
Stop using your wrist as a torque limiter lad 😂
While everyone else has spent Christmas and New Year relaxing with The Sound of Music, Scrooge, and The Grinch, my husband stumbled upon your channel and has been binge-watching like a man possessed. Tomorrow, reality hits as he heads back to work—utterly gutted because he’s only made it through to just over 100 episodes!
WELL DONE BOTH OF YOU
You should make a cutting board/jig for cutting scarfs.
Plywood base.
51mm battens either side of the scarf to be cut with space for a pair of folding wedges. A piece of plywood to be clamped on as a saw guide. Finally a strip the width of saw blade to edge of saw sole plate. Use this to set the guide parallel with the cutting line.
(1) much safer.
(2) always cuts square.
(3) No need to plane the cut end. Get it lined up and the cut will be dead on.
(4) The slot being wider than 51mm allows curved or straight timbers to be wedged in place.
There's a YouTube maker's secret santa, and other assorted challenges and collaborations between YouTubers. Maybe the boat restorers could get together and do something. Maybe you could draw lots and do whatever your specialty is for someone else. You could build a bigger community, spread the wealth among less fortunate channels, but ultimately build a bigger community among all participants. If you could thrash it together you could probably do something for valentines day, though I'm not sure if that's a thing anywhere other than the US.
weigh the anchor…..
Congratulations!
I have been enjoying your channel(s) and content for over a year now and have gone back to episodes prior to finding you… and part of the appeal is your style and hearing your conversations/relationship. This episode had a very subtle humor when you get to 9:40min mark where you both start talking about the anchor, the "new anchor" which sounds alot like "wanker" which I only learned about through Ted Lasso and also the Wrexham FC. Hilarious! Keep up the great effort on Sarinda and I look forward to many more episodes of your excellent content. Cheers!!!
FT stands for fart tite
Silly question After each high tide do the foot prints disappear?
The spacer behind the knees was a good idea but why didn't you shape them to mirror the knee?
