Can we all stop for a tiny moment and give a ‘hell yeah’ for all the trees in the world.
Hello, I've been waiting and it's finally here :). You are doing a great job, I admire and support you. Greetings from Poland. :)
A great set up for learning, it's always more fun laying on your back on a muddy slipway trying to beat the returning tide.
That would be fun..
Thanks for this. I am now feeling a bit more in step with the what, how, and stuff. Obviously if keep up with watching it will all start to make sense. Best.
Delightful episode.
You have to be good to work in flip flops!
Man, the work. So much work. I’m overwhelmed but happy to watch. Tally Ho is finally in the water but here I go again…
WTF does Tally Ho have to do with this channel?
Welcome onboard! ⚓️
I did a little bit of it on the fish boat i worked on before the fishing season. It's not hard work but its back breaking. I watch the Tally Ho crew doing that hull and could feel the pain in my back and knees. 😂
Isn’t backbreaking basically a synonym of hard work? 😉
@@FavouriteBoatworks Touche. Allow me to be more specific. It's hard on the back. But it's not hard work. The odd angles and the fact that the perfect height is only perfect for a few boards width then you are reaching or stooping.
Sorry I misspoke, it won't happen again.
Another great episode - thanks! And what a fantastic learning setup. Looking forward to seeing more.
(I assume by now you’ve determined this boat is salvageable? In an earlier episode I think someone said you’d do only so much disassembly then make a call…)
She can and will be restored, the big question mark has been regarding how much can be saved, this will be clarified in the next couple of months, or you can check out the patreon where we share more up to date information (the channel is about 2 months behind)
And you can use it Gor s canoe later!
Caulking?
Corking/caulking, both words are used
Years ago, I did a little corking on the Adventuress (Seattle). As I remember, we were trained to do it with wet bottom paint in the seam. Is this how you plan to do it, or are there different opinions on the proper way to do it?
The cotton absorbs a lot of water. Any paint over freshly set cotton will keep the cotton dry through the morning dew. Under the water bottom paint is a great choice because you’ll be painting it with bottom paint plus if the worms get that far it will detour them from the cotton( worms love cotton). Above the water some topside paint or primer works great.
