There are many aspects of Aladino's 'Swiss perfectionism' that others can learn from, but the one that I think is arguably most useful, and most often-overlooked, is his practice of cleaning-as-he-goes: If you create dust, vacuum it up immediately. Keep a brush in your jigsaw case, etc. It is MUCH easier, much better for your health, and leads to better finished work, than to let the dust settle onto (and into) everything, and 'plan' to deal with it at some unspecified 'later'...
I’m a retired painter, I still enjoy watching work being done. It still gives me the same feeling that it gives you,”Instant gratification!”
Prep is 95% of finish!!
Oh yes Mark, prep is everything. Skip a step, be sorry later.
Like those modern house paints, no primer required... 🤣 A friend used some on a wall repair. Of course, the unprimed/unsealed patches have showned trough ! For ever.
I am a retired baker. My neighbour gave me an 18 1/2 ft. glass boat that needed stringers,floor and transom.By watching CZcams I was able to epoxy in the new bones and am able to get out fishing. Job was done outside over 2 years.CHEERS from Westcoast Canada!
This video speaks for the channel: great people, great boat, great craftsmanship and work ethic and great humor
Wow, thank you Stephan!!
I fully agree ! And Maya, your so soft voice is a pleasure to listen to ! 👍😊
Can't argue with that!
Dear Stephan sails
👍👌👏 Very well said, Sir, very well indeed. Please kindly allow me to add some things: great music, great video recording/editing etc.p.p..
It's soooo good to see that two such amazing humans found themselves. They complement one each other sooo incredibly well and I wish them all the best.
Best regards, luck and health.
After Leo's boat and/or your boat launches it would be nice to see you on each other's boats. There's so many of us that love y'all and love him.
Hey, KIds...I am a 72 year old retired architect. I have battled for many many years a compelling need to do, at least, one thing perfectly. This effort has been a failure. Perfectionism is a particularly corrosive form of "self hate". I recognize myself when I sometimes see Aladino work...however, I also recognize how much closer he comes than I ever did. Finishing those deck beams seems like a milestone and they look PERFECT to me. Congratulations on the fine work!!
The contrasts between your refit, Leo's (Tally ho) quest for perfection, and the downright practically of the shipwrites refitting Yaba is thought provoking and interesting.
Don’t forget Salt and Tar.
@@davidmoore5021 and Life on the Hulls!
@@davidmoore5021 I limited myself to rebuilds. There is also Acorn to Arabella, which contrast 'amateur' vs professional.
There's no comparison here. Yabá is a how not to do things channel....
@@charonstyxferryman I'm not concerned with Yaba's level of finish. What concerns me there is it's lack of structural integrity. Splicing together almost every single main frame just does not fill me with confidence. Neither does the half assed way they just redid the roof with zero beams actually going under and in line with the roof beams. Instead again relying on bolts to hold it rather than physical support.
Your channel is definitely not boring or normal , I totally enjoy watching the craftsmanship going into this boat. I watch about 10 other sailing channels and I LOVE your music the most.
Lovely to watch a real tradesman go at it with a quality attitude in all aspecs including the brush for the jigsaw - swiss or not. Magic!
Dino, some of us are too old to be craftsmen anymore. We enjoy watching what you do and dream of days when we were able to do similar things.
It's your attitude, attention to detail, vacuuming and the occasional gem of information. That's why I keep coming back. I admire Aladino's skills enormously
I love your honest and informative format . Tired of those trying to sell clicks with bikinis , lets face it if I want to see bikinis this is the internet and , um there are lots . I am here for the boat ownership story and anyone with a boat knows that is lots of fixing too .
Not that I mind a bathing suit as long as appropriate to the content , but tired of those guys loading up a boat with bikini clad girls to sell clicks .
These slight imperfections you choose to allow become the “patina of practicality” that will speed you along and will pay off in more time actually enjoying the ultimate goal of sailing this beautiful vessel.
A word smith, you are 🙂
As an ancient furniture maker, i most admire the boat yoga and the way he folds up into small spaces so nonchalantly.
An old friend once told me that however long my woodenboat project was taking, I had to go out sailing on a regular basis. So I understand your urge to get out of the shed! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪 Dan
Always full of love between you two and I hope whoever sold you the boat realises a) you didn't rip them off on price and b) she went to good owners who will really look after her.
I Love Your videos!!
I'm an 80 year old landlubber who has been on a sailboat all of one afternoon; a delightful sail on the Columbia River. I am creating an ole fart tricycle out of used bicycle parts; one front wheel is from my granddaughter's bike and the other front wheel is from my grandson's bike.
Your comment on perfectionism is well taken. If I don't move this project along I will not live to see it's completion. Yet, for many of us, it's the journey of the building as much as the finished product.
When finished, Yours will truly be, a Magic Carpet!!
Always a pleasure to watch the boat coming together as well as Maya’s craftsmanship creating these wonderful short movies!
The satisfaction of watching good craftsmen working cannot be overrated. Being an academic who likes to tinker with physical objects like building or repairing engines I really do learn a lot watching these videos, including Leo’s, and in my opinion Aladino, Leo and Pete would make a perfect team of craftsmen. Only problem being that they probably never would finish their work, because there will always be a little detail that can be done better or made more efficient. :-)
I love the thorough way in which you investigate each problem/repair/upgrade so as to find the best solution possible under the circumstances. Attention to detail is what transforms a job into art.
This channel has its own gentle style. I enjoy it that way.
I love watching and even learning... And "one day" I hope to be sailing right along with you! Very impressive an meticulous work - much appreciated!
I love that you strive for perfection. And yet you are learning the balance between progress and perfection. What a beautiful dance to watch.
As part of ‘The Family’ I could not be happier with the journey that is Magic Carpet 2! Be it more deck beams, perfection or imperfection I would not have invested my time if I did not believe in both of you….. and that belief and respect has been well earned over the years. Please keep producing videos true to your heart and your daily routine so we can travel with you, your the stars of the show NOT the boat or the location!
It’s done like a rebuilt of a old Swiss watch, with the ability of an experimented orologist
At 78 my mantra goes back to age 10. "Meticulous Attention to Detail!"
Your work is an example and that of many other very successful creators in all extremely varied areas of interest and that is the common denominator... how you work the extremely well thought out approach, extent of the approach and effort appropriate to reach the goal. All of that is articulated, demonstrated, recorded, explained, etc. And, the music is the same! Thank you both.
Yeees Burke!! Im living for that mantra, not only for everything you said but also paying attention to things I found it keeps us grounded and present in the moment⛵️
Love listening to your birds sing during the refit, they don’t care what you are doing and you just let them be. Nice relationship. Great video, thanks.
Great work guys. I understand being a perfectionists myself that it can feel like a mixed blessing. However the biggest reward I receive is having pride in a great result. I love the high standard of boat work, film making, storytelling & music you guys produce. A blessing to a lot of people. Kind Regards Grant from New Zealand
I really enjoyed the humor in this episode. It's great to see your silly sides. Ah, yes the balance between perfect and practical. As a self-taught hobbyist woodworker I know that one well. One thing I figured out early on was to never point out the detects. No one else will see them if I don't, and it will be where they look first if I do point them out. The challenge of course is to learn to live with them myself.
Watching you is more than mere entertainment, it is reality and personal interest stories, you have been great on two boats now.
The 'story' telling is compelling. Sailing Yacht Florence have just told an incredible story of crossing the Indian Ocean and will now move on to a story about the Seychelles. Your story at the moment (incredibly insightful, interesting and well told) is about the refit, and will then move on to a story about the sailing of the refit. The variety is what makes and keeps it interesting, just focussing on one part without a perspective on the whole would diminish the overall 'story'. And don't apologise for the perfectionism, please don't.
Soothing perfectionism - gentle and appropriate with each to his own. Aladino is embracing allowances that is both comfortable and practical in the long run. Your story is an intimate tale and every snippet is a treasure as you work towards launch. Focusing on the small is so satisfying ... and important. Imagine the joy MCII will bring to you both knowing how you got there. A powerful combination.
Loved the opening shot, Aladino was actually "beaming" and with good cause, the last of the short beams. When I think over the work done to find, uncover, source the new wood, figure out and perfect the curve, the angles, the pre fitting and coating and then the installation I realize how much skill, patience and determination you have both put into just this one renovation let alone the time taken to figure out the plan of how fit them all so as to have confidence in the end product. Great going guys. It was a joy to watch.
Truly, I just enjoy watching other people work.
By far the best Boat refit I've ever followed.
The attention to detail and love that is going into this gorgeous sailboat is amazing.
Have you seen Sailing Yaba and Odd Life Crafting?
These are the other two channels I follow that put SO much love, care and craftsmanship into their sail homes like you.
Thank you both for sharing this amazing channel with us.
😊❤⛵
I don’t own a boat and likely won’t but I’m a craftsman and it’s always a pleasure to watch your process.
Aladino, I love hard work. I could sit here and watch it all day long.
There is a story in everything, the mundane to the unbelievable… it’s good to see Dino becoming more relaxed, less serious, and more fun. These are traits that take time to learn and to practice, for life is too short to not enjoy the journey.
I’m finishing up a van conversion, and in the beginning I said to myself that if I’m not enjoying the build, I will do something else, for at the end of the day I want to look back on the project with fondness and love, not dread.
All the best!
Bryan from Gambier
Yet another successful week of tasks completed. While it had to be challenging to get to, you were able to get the area prepped and the thickened epoxy applied to the structure so that the new beams would become a more integral part of the structure unlike the ones you removed that seemed like they were just thrown in to get then hole filled. You both do a great job at explaining things which helps non-sailors, like me for instance, better understand what you do and why. Having spent a couple decades in construction, one thing I learned was that having a small second drill with a driver bit installed saves a lot of time from switching from drill bit to driver bit. I have a small 12V Makita that I only use for that purpose and only use it to drive screws.
On the day Magic Carpet II launches there is one thing for sure! It is a better boat now that when it was new thanks to Aladino! I love to watch him work! I really enjoy the videos but it is time for some of your beautiful music!
I am quite confident in saying that I will never refit a boat, but I find this detailed story of your project very interesting and entertaining.
I find watching you work so relaxing , also small example of how you inspire me.....I restored the wood around my window instead of getting help. It looks lovely and I enjoy knowing that I did myself ...thankyou xx
“Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien” It's a beautiful boat :)
We watch to see all your hard work pay off. You make it a wonderful journey.
I find the story of your refit as exciting as the sailing aspect and terrifically educational. You dive down into the details which I greatly enjoy.
i admire your realisation that balancing perfection and reality is a must.....and to realise that in your twenties blows me away.....well done
Episodes keep getting better ! Putting love and hard work, while music floats throughout, equals seaworthiness. Thank you
Aladino (sp?) Misery loves company! Watching yall and your hard work on your boat helps keep me encouraged on mine.
Love the sound of the birds that have taken up residence in your shed chirping in the background, even though I'm sure they have given you some problems...
"Refitting an old boat is a slow process. It's something done out of love and dreams rather than logic and good sense." This is the lesson for the day, folks! haha I love this quote.
Steve and Alix on Arabella. Roberta and Duca on Odd. Ben and MP on Yaba Leo on Tally Ho Simon and Gemma and you two - the amazing Alodino and Maya have taught me about boats and a lot more. I look at my globe and there you all are -descendants of all the boat builders from hollow logs and reeds and leather to oak and countless woods and steel and fibreglass. The ins and outs of boats and their special vocabulary have become fascinating to me but nothing thrills me more than to see a boat with all the sails billowing in the wind and the seas green and smooth slipping by.
I'm not a boat person but this channel has me fascinated!
Hello to you both,you are correct in your thinking to do all of the required work whilst the boat is ashore and that you can get materials,and into positions to work that are impossible if at sea…you will also know that you have a well found boat under you when you set sail…I think your video’s are great..thank you.Roly🇬🇧.
Aladino, we are watching and learning. Many of us will never take on a big project like you and Leo. But when we have a small project to do we will have a much better idea on how to fix the project. If we do take on a large task we will have been taught well.
I found u when u started to work here. what I like, since u both wonder why. I love boats, sailing, repair videos and learning a little woth you all this is inspiring also your relationships (myself is a german in Hawaii, all the dance if that) . you take such a treasure adventures on. music, patience, love, measurements. thanks for sharing.
Knowing where to stop with a rebuild/refit is not simple at all . It's , more or less , a balancing act . Especially when it's a boat . What is necessary and what would be nice to do . While reworking a boat myself and keeping it useable , i have to make the same kind of choices . So i can relate to the way you both are making those choices . Good luck with this refit and don't forget to enjoy it .
Well done!! both cinematography wise as well as boat craftsman wise. Your channel(?) gives me inspiration and motivation to repair, refurbish and refit with a high level of precision and neatness. The passion to do it 'right and do it well' shines through in every episode.
I do not have a boat and I will not be owning one but I love watching boat refits. I am scared of deep water but love watching your channel, Uma Sailing and Gone with the Wynn's.
Aladino, please don’t ever loose this Swiss tradition to aim for perfection, it is the only thing that defines us Swiss and sets us apart from the rest of the world. It has been handed over for so many generations.
And it is this unique treasure we Swiss keep locked in our heart and soul.
The only draw back, perfection = expensive! Which explains why we have invented Swiss Banks!🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🇨🇭
Working on your own project, allows you to make those choices between perfection, speed and quality. A privilege many are not able to influence in their work. Keep up the storytelling, when possible!
You couple are the best in providing such great viewing, every aspect of the presentation brings such enjoyment and pleasure to watch. Appreciated and best wishes from NZ.
Thank you for the "story". I am part of the people who will never do what you've been doing with Magic Carpet II. I am enjoying your episodes as an enlightened entertainment, learning things about boats too. You were talking about balance between perfection and imperfections. Your channel is also well balanced between boat maintenance / building techniques and sailing / adventures. As many other people who commented before me, I do appreciate the quality of filming, story telling, music and smart humor. So don't change anything to your channel. It's perfect. Or almost perfect as it's good to have kind of a margin to improve isn't it?
As Mads on Sail Life would say....Oh glorious sanding...Oh glorious mixing!
Cheers
The passion you have in practicing your craft shines through guys.
It is entertaining, but it is also inspiring.
Thanks again for sharing.
I get something new from every video sometimes its not knowledge but a smile on my face.
Wow, yes entertaining and yes, informative as I work on my house, I appreciate the precision of a boat fix. Helps me to strive for more detail here.
Some of your videos have a time-lapse intro with a night time view of the shed and those lovely trees and Orion circling overhead. Tonight when I took my puppy out for her evening walk, there was Orion above my trees. It was a moment that connected me to you two across a time gap of many months.
Talking about imperfections, a big part of being a craftsman is knowing which details matters. Some details are easy to work on later -- those just need to be good enough. Then some things you're gonna be stuck with essentially forever. Get those right. I'm sure there's been a lot of time of you guys just staring at the boat, thinking through those details.
I love your channel and attention to detail. As crafts people, we have to strike a balance between time and perfection. Especially hidden perfection can get to taking a lot of time. You seem to be striking a good balance.
Truly Love the way your videos are made. I also really enjoy the music. There is always find something interesting and some of the techniques I am able to apply to some of my projects.
Your Joy in the projects you do to improve your home soon to be upon the sea seem to help me enjoy my projects more as well. It is contagious of the good kind.. Barbara Steisand sings about it being the laughter that she enjoys remembering... but I think some good honest smiles are what I'll remember more... Smiles capture better on still snaps than laughter,,
The CZcams meta in this video has me actually laughing on a couple of occasions. Witty and funny, so much so I tried to like it twice! Thanks for a great video and good luck with your project.
There is a story in all you two do, and you do know how to tell it well. You are a novelist at heart. I hear Literature in your words, as does everyone else who listens.
A beautiful job on the deck beams and a pleasure viewing your installation! Thank you!
I enjoyed watching your sailing vlogs, because Sailing is something I would love to do. But I cannot sail, because I suffer from severe motion sickness. And when a boat rocks, I start throwing up. I enjoy watching your super boat repair skills. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. 💖
Never be afraid of ‘old school’ work. When you’re in blue water getting pounded, your mind will be more at ease, knowing how sound the refit was.
Continuely impressed with the quality of your work and your positive attitude.
We might not be doing a similar project as this, but what we take from the viewing is the attention to detail and to be true to the process to attain the proper results. For me it will be the job of rebuilding the engine bed of our Pearson 35. It it very functional now, but not up to my high standards, that I have, in part, learned from you two. Keep up the good work.
And another most enjoyable episode of your restoration. It may only be fitting deck beams and epoxy, but you are both so good at documenting the process ,I look forward to next weeks episode as soon as I watch the current one. As always Take Care.
Pride in ones work is soul soothing
Some of us are actually watching for the technique, example, and motivational inspiration because they directly affect our own boat refits. I am restoring a refitting a 50 year old trawler that I also cruise during the refit.
I love watching you work together to accomplish your dreams. I know how much stress remodels can put on a relationship. Your communication and teamwork is exemplary. Please keep up the great work. We hope to see you out on the water, someday. --Capt Wendell
I love your voice, it's a cadence and tone that is relaxing, thank you
Best content boat show on the web. Bravo guys
It is so wonderful watching the labor or love that you two have put into this boat! Looking forward to its first journey!
@15:10 It’s good that you guys came out with that what some of us have been thinking of. It’s a boat, not a concert piano.
I'm inspired, entertained and educated all at once. Loving your videos and the project.
Watching your artwork is like watching Michelangelo, creating a masterpiece.
Incredible story telling and beautiful craftsmanship!
I appreciate the hard work you put into your productions
well done kiddies ! ... EDITED TO ADD : the fact of the matter for ya'll who DON'T know, is that IF you do NOT do these things correctly, they will fail when you least want them to AT SEA, and can KILL YOU !! ... repairs to a sailboat are DEADLY SERIOUS, and it's VERY refreshing to see Aladino take the care that they do deserve.....and one more thing....when this boat launches, it's is, without ANY doubt WHATSOEVER going to be as solid as the Rock of Gibralter.....remember to have a little fun whenever ya get a chance guys.......OnWard....
Thank you for sharing your story and your lives with all of us.
this might be my favorite episode
From Ontario Canada with admiration. I build wood epoxy Blackbird and either one of you are hired.Great work and cleanliness. Magic Carpet 2 is destined for being strong and free when she gets the first breath of wind and water under her bottom....C.C.R real wood boat 🏴☠️🚢😎🇨🇦
Have been offline for too long. I so love watching how you two are enjoying the process.
Looking good what a beautiful boat it has become with all your hard work
To see both of your growth in life experiences throughout this project of Magic Carpet II has been wonderful... the highs and lows and the energy and joy that you've sustained/has sustained you throughout 👍 the restoration work is most impressive!! Thank you, for your excellent videos and sharing this journey with us!😁
I can so feel with you when it comes to perfectionism. Don’t touch with your fingers, don’t move so much, dust will fly, don’t breathe in it. My dad was a watchmaker…… Also in the process off refitting a sailboat, feeling the urge to make things perfect and for eternity. Then it’s good to put things in perspective once in a while. There will probably be a new refit after 10 years anyway…. Nothing is forever.
After watching your last video I had a humorous thought. Setting up the recorder at ground level pointing upwards to the top of the cabin. Climbing onto the cabin roof and being a “fiddler on the roof”
"Boat Yoga" Haha! I think yoga was developed for people who don't have boats. 😃
You are doing a fine job with balancing perfectionisim with practicality. Fine boat building while still making forward progress. I would agree with your decision not to scarf in a piece of plywood that's purpose is to act as a spacer between the structural deck beams - no comprimise there. Save the effort for the visible hardwood slab that will be the centre of attention. The story telling style is compelling too - I watch your weekly video while taking a break from my own boat projects. Keeps me motivated. Thank you!!!
Love your attention to details, cannot wait to see the beautiful scenery that you will experience once you are able to launch ⛵️⛵️👍💕💕
