Oh my god!! This is SO COOL! I had no idea!! I rewatched the first bit again. Thank you!
I think the best word to discribe it is "craftmanship" Nick.
I am completely nerding out. Longer episodes please...
This is the kind of stuff that will help me appreciate RR2 all the more when I see her, I'll be looking for these details ! Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
A good boat is the sum total of quality parts... Quality skilled labor and cunning design... Love these tech videos. They are a wealth of information. Keep it up Nick. You do get what you pay for... Craftsmanship is art...
Its not just the passivation and polishing, its the quality of the stainless from the start thats makes it last in that condition
Gotta be honest guys. Super stoked on your new boat. All the build stuff is interesting... But GD... I miss you all sailing.
I really like when Nick nerds out on details! Keep it up!
WOW .... Nuff Said.. Replenishing the Rock Star Status....insert thumbs UP
I love when you NERD out! Love the explanation of the Stainless Steel! Great Job, thank you for sharing! Looking forward to more!
As an engineer who has spent a lot of time in factories, I did enjoy watching this.
👍👍👍 I love seeing the level of detail in Seawind products. I believe they are the best bang for the buck. 👍👍👍 I love seeing the level of detail in Seawind products. I believe they are the best bang for the buck.
Hello from south central Thailand. Enjoy your videos.... I look forward to seeing them every time you release one. Thanks Again.
You have just given the boat companies a wake up call !
I'm glad you did this and that most of your commenters appreciate this. I am retired now, but I spent 30 years in US industry, mostly as a Purchasing Manager. Between my various employers and the vendors I used and visited, I see here the same machines and some the the same brands of machinery I have seen over the last 4 decades. Most people have no idea how things are made. Raw material goes in one door, a miracle happens and the finish product magically appears. No disrespect to this manufacturer but I've seen this same level of expertise and craftmanship all over the world.
What an outstanding level of finish . No wonder you picked Seawind , gonna be a beautiful boat . Well done Midway Metals , superb
As an engineer, I found this video extremely interesting. Quality control, and quality assurance are evident. I thank you for the video, and congratulate you on your choice of RR2. It is that attention to detail, from the design process to the actual build that has impressed me on the manufacturers of the 1260, now the 1370, and the 1600. WELL DONE SEAWIND!!!
Polished to a true mirror finish. Thank you
The level of polish on the bow roller is astounding - beautiful work.
It's great to see the factory using 5S and similar manufacturing quality processes.
More of this please!
👍👍👍 I love seeing the level of detail in Seawind products. I believe they are the best bang for the buck.
I love the factory tours. Quality is more than meets the eye. But great quality delivers a product that is pleasing to the eye. Thanks for the step-by-step incarnation of RR2.
Now, this is one polished video ! It's a reflection of the quality entertainment expected from Ruby Rose Productions! Happy Sails.
I like the detail. Let's see some woodworking, fiberglassing, HVAC and more.
Art as well as science… totally agree. More like this please
Wow. That attention to detail is SHOCKING. That square grid thing was incredible. This was a great lesson on stainless steel and one example of how this channel goes so far beyond bikinis and Bacardi. Best sailing channel on YT.
Nick, I hope you realize that these seemingly mindless side tours hit yacht lovers exactly where they want, we love the details in everything. So please do NOT hesitate doing them.
Now, my question... I have a bit of experience in SS, and I wonder why do they passivate before grinding the welds? Wouldn't cleaning up the welds create new pockets of potential corrosion?
I've visited Vietnam for work and wonder if your yacht will be launched in Vung Tau? It's a lovely port and home of many expats.
Absolutely gorgeous work.......super impressive!
Actually found this super interesting! It was nice to highlight the quality & standards of both product and safety. Especially since so many in the west have such a poor view of manufacturing in Asia. These people are amazing at what they are doing! So cool
Lol, getting off on the production/buffing process :) Don't worry you're not alone!!! Always enjoy seeing "How things are made"
Very nice and I love the level of detail!
Two things to note:
1. I had wooden rulers at school…..
2. I normally only grind out my welds when I stuff them up🤬
More please it's this level of access that shows how confident the boat builder is in their product.
Midway made my custom dive racks for my Highfield from Corsair designs Nick. They must be the most fabulous dive racks anyone has ever seen! Love going to that factory... Lots of us Aussies here ehh?
I found that fascinating and I'm pretty far from being a nerd about most anything until it is the finished product. The level of detail is jaw-dropping when you consider how many millions of ideas are involved in even the simplest of today's boat builds. It's a long way from making a dugout canoe from a fallen tree! And even making one of those properly is really an art form.
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, I too geek out on the amazing abilities of Stainless Steel..
Really beautiful work. I like your nerdy side...you have a keen eye for perfection and quality work!
Right before you started talking about the welds I was asking myself how they handle the welds. This is one the best most informative videos that is going to assist in our boat search. Makes me want to now inspect every weld on every boat I look at now. Thank you.
Perfect. Exactly what we are aiming for
Super interesting and a great video. Congratulations to you and Seawind.
Amazing. Your guy on the ground reporting gives a much better impression than any fancy brochure.
And I'm impressed with the health and safety in the factory too.
its Vietnam, not china......
Absolutely!!! Fabulous!!!
This was great episode. I am sure you have many viewers like me that like to nerd out on technical information. Having done many Quality audits in Asia I can tell that this is a top notch factory. Keep those types of videos coming. Well done.
Love it!! People tend to think that making something from nothing isn't an art.
The Sailing Starts in the Factory. Enjoying this series about RR2 build. Thank You 😎
Glad you enjoy it!
Awesome! Very well done, especially adding in the science describing how things rust! The quality of materials, including the quality of metals, and even the tiny nuances of one grade of stainless steel compared to another can make a big difference in the reliability and longevity of the boat and equipment.
Grateful to you for uploading this...very impressed by what you saw - I also appreciate the sheer quality of the production process - IMHO, easily better than most western yards.
I have seen corrosion setting in on SS stanchions and deck plates - and there is usualy a weld involved : tiny imperfections either in finish or the actual weld...just enough to allow the corrosion process to get a toe hold - over time it expands...could be a few years before it is noticeable, but when you do notice it you are facing a costly bill to replace. Medway products would be cheaper in the long run for someone who will keep the boat for 5-10 years: Peace of mind is worth the money.
As the son of a small arms weapon maker , I absolutely loved this episode.I watch for years my dad's incredible eye for detail and bought back many memories.Thanks Nick.
This is soooo interesting and fascinating....thank you so much for getting to that level of details.....
Phenomenal workmanship. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic episode. Keep them coming.
Amazing video and stunning craftsmanship, Vietnamese are naturally amazing skilled workers.
Love it Nick. This is what got me into your channel in the first place, it's your attention to detail. I particularly liked the dentistry allusion by the way.
lol... I bet seeing your reflection in chrome was in your bucket list.
Nick, "This is a beautiful looking product already, now, I know I'm nerding out on this stainless steel, but you should be as well." Yeah, this is actually really cool to see, and your comment about the level of polish being important for longevity is well taken.
Ha ha the mirror shot got me!
Me too, thought that he would refer to the welding as high quality manufacturing and was a little bit surprised of the jump cut ;-)
An amazing journey we are on with you Nick and Terysa. God Bless.
Great to see the care to detail taken. Good stainless work is always a pleasure.
Enjoyed it thoroughly. Learned more about metals than my teachers managed to beat into me 65 years ago. In fact the build of RRII is entirely fascinating and somewhat educational. Thank you ! I await more eagerly 😳
This is so informative and interesting. I really appreciate your taking the time to explain about chrome and the precision that demonstrates quality. I'll be looking more closely at the boats I'm shopping. Seawind is quite the beneficiary of this metal work. It makes their product stand alone. Can't wait to see a finished 1370.
Very cool! This is what I like about your channel. A wide range of information.
Good move passivating the stainless steel. Every boater needs to know about this. Even if stainless steel is alloy A316, it needs to be passivated. Stainless steel bolts also.
Wow! Thanks Nick!
love it Nick more please
Great Stuff, I love seeing this process.
Nerd on man. I love this stuff. Long before I became a nurse I was machinist and made parts for military fighter jets and helicopters. Talk about tight tolerances!
fascinating. reminded me of my dad a machine tool engineer. He machined to 60-micron finish & Zero tolerance on aircraft parts which looked like those stainless polished bits. Really enjoying this content.
Kaizen… I watched your vid and noticed that the manufacturer used the process of manufacturing and processing called Kaizen to monitor safety and quality. I was in Aerospace and use the same. Impressive.
Loved this video. I would like to see more.
Well done Nick! As a Mechanical Contractor we used variety of this type of metal working technology…. Very interesting to the same and some cases better in Viet Nahum…
Holy snap that bow roller filming u did panning out was unbe-freakin-lievable. It kinda made the point eh! Btw u do not "bang on" , rather illuminate 💡. Keep giving us the scoop bru😃👍
I was salivating throughout.
WOW! That's world-class quality and care. The reflection on these parts is better than some mirrors. Nicely done tour and explanations. Thanks.
What an amazing place, the quality of work is wow I had to watch this twice ... Well done Nick
Mate, you nailed it!!!!!!!!.... I am just as much of a nerd when in comes to Stainless Steel on my boat not just because it looks good but because a well formed passive layer, after removal of carbides, oxides and nitrides by means of chemical etching, chemical passivation and mechanical polishing prevents corrosion longer.
lovely lovely lovey
Username checks out!
No need to apologize for an excellent content video. Being a general contractor and artesian woodworker, I love this type of background information. Also, congrats on the new logo. rr-squared is brilliant. It is obvious that you two are thoroughly enjoying this part of the process. 👍🏼👍🏼
Looking at Google search results you can see photos and videos of the factory. Interesting videos on tube bending.
Wow great tour, I worked with many metal manufacturing plants in Canada and have to say very impressed with the quality of workmanship and safety at Midway Metals, defanetly first class.
Cool! Mirror finish beauty!
Absolutely fascinating!!!!!!!
Who knew about stainless?? Very interesting, I thought. Your yacht should be nearly perfect. Love it!
Definitely interesting and a good suggestion … with most bigger and built things there is a detail-test as to the quality. The weld.polishing certainly is one such test!
Personal remark: I can see what you did with the music in this video, and why. But it did hinder my concentration. Perhaps it is just me, I thought I’d mention it.
Very interesting, thanks for the tour of the facility.
Top quality work
Love the enthusiasm. I’m not in the world of boats but it’s the level of detail I would expect from a good industrial fabrication shop. From a technical POV the main reason to grind back the welds would be to do non destructive testing which I would have expected to see some of, maybe just of camera?
Really interesting thanks for posting
Awesome Nick love it
Cleanest factory I ever saw, some factories in the uk I worked in could be classed as pre second world war set ups. The far east have taken British skills to another level and we sat back and watched hence the new Ruby Rose is being built out there and not in the UK. This video is an eye opener but alas we will not learn ...we never do.
Well, THIS exceeded my expectations by a million? Very cool, NOT in Ho Chi Minh City- a genuine effort to film- very cool. Obviously, we are able to 'geek out' with you on the level of perfection needed to justify the high price of catamarans these days! Awesome & I look forward to more quick- down & dirty- episodes like this! Thanks a million. Gonna need to check your other resources (NOT Patreon, my wallet has springs like a bear trap) cuz I so enjoy everything boat about the build. I don't care about what you eat, where you party, etc...
That’s beautiful work, very interesting, thanks!
Nerding out with you. My career was in food so 316L was everywhere. The level of finish was way above anything we used due to the labour cost. Apart from that the factory was up to the best European standards.
Good content learned something new 😊🙏
awesome ! I actually never visited Midway Factory 😆 that was interesting
Ah sorry to find that you are not here! I was looking forward to catching up with you at a good French bar
Definitely not a nerd, but absolutely fascinating even to me ! Would be really interested to see more stuff like this .
More to come!
We had stainless steel expert on board in Spain who instantly knew our boat was made in Thailand (even though everyone usually thinks it's a Colin Archer from Norway) He said Thailand and Vietnam are the only places in the world that produce Stainless to that standard, nice to know. As you like your geekery Nick, are they calling your stainless 316, 316Ti or 316L? The formula you gave has no Titanium so I guess not 316Ti but it seems to be in between the spec for straight 316 and 316L (low carbon) The 316L would be better at sea especially in warm water (All 316's are not equal!)
Midway Metals Vietnam uses 316L for all marine parts (and sometimes duplex 2205 for special projects)
Used some sub-contract fabrication yards in both Thailand and Vietnam in my previous oil & gas working life. Great manipulative skill levels especially welding tricky locations. Looks like a very good worship and may well ask them for quotes for speciality stainless parts In the future 👍
Nick, Sorry had to comment, That's a Co2 4kw Amada laser, not a plasma! Great to see the all areas of your new Cat build. Good job!
Hahaha. Well done mate. I sent the CEO of Midway a preview copy. He came back with “ yeah that’s a laser cutter, not a plasma cutter. Not sure anyone will pick up on that though” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I once commented on a Dragonfly trimaran YT video that they were way too costly for what you got, esp as compared to a Corsair. Someone from the factory, with nose in the air, responded that it was because of more costly and superior, Danish labor. I pointed out that they were insulting a whole countries boatbuilding industry, and that the Vietnamese were at least as good from a quality standpoint. This video proves my point exactly. The quality control and attention to detail and safety are equal to any US manufacturing plant. (I have been in several.) Super interesting and feel free to "geek out" more! That superyacht bow roller was like a jewel.
Nick, this was a super episode. Another thing learned about what to look for when purchasing a boat, new or used.
Always nice to get a inside look into manufacturing. Some minor remarks though, when you are talking about milling at around 4 minutes, that is actually a lathe turning products (the mill is the machine at 3:40).
the cutting machine you are showing is a laser cutter, not a plasma cutter. A plasma cutter is far inferior to a laser and certainly not capable of micron precision, you only ever use a plasma cutter if you are on a tight budget or if you need to cut thick plates (more than 20mm thick).
I do agree this looks like a proper machine workshop with very high standards. Hope these manufacturing video's keep on coming, it is really nice to see all the different disciplines that are required to built a boat.
Absolutely very bang on Nick 😇
What a banger of a video Nick I think you missed your calling my friend you could do things like this for a living
Bloody amazing, something got out of Australia without a VAX passport.
