Everyone has bloopers, but not everyone shows them, I like your honesty. Much love from England 🏴
Happy Birthday (and new year), thanks for the blooper, I didn’t realize Matt made mistakes 😅
*bows to the Master of epoxy/glass*... Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so impressed by the progress you are making. Amazing
That's just how young people react in situations such as this....FAST ! Speed of work is very often the most needed tho difficult element to manage in such a situation.
So fantastic!!! Your filming is really showing the volume and spaciousness. The final scene shows how good the design is and the true size of the yacht. It's getting exciting!!!
Your lovely partner Jannhy has really turned into a very good videographer (sorry about the misspelling). Cool to see her evolve while seeing Matt evolve in effectiveness. Y’all got this idea in gold light. Awesome. Looking for your new adventures when work allows. Be safe and love living.
Pouches: the first tool that a seamstress made for me at North was a tool pouch. That was in 1987. I still have it. Her name was Reggie- the best seamstress in the loft🙂
Great to see dog house with people in it as it’s meant to be used 👌
Another excellent video...I notice that when your lovely wife was cutting freehand fibreglass cloth there is trick to it? To cut a perfectly straith line, pull one strand of on your mark and cut!
since Duracell won't pay you , you should call the boat Energizer. kind of a cool name regardless!
16:04 The tip of the bowsprit should not be so square, but rather as round as a dolphin's nose.
Below it should merge with the bow. That would definitely look better!
yes, it's not finished yet!
If the old time boat builders had had epoxy, they would have used it. Happy New Year from Australia.
Looking great ! One thing you might try next time you want to make a good seal (you can still use absurd amounts of epoxy no worries) is to use one pyramid shape line of epoxy iso two. The risk with two is to trap air in between when you compress the pieces, the compressed air might make a hole in one of the two lines to leak out, breaking one of the two seal. With one big pyramid shape one, when compressed, will flatten to the whole width while pushing air away and therefore making an airless seal. (as demonstrated by Mike Patey on one of his airplane build. )
What a joy to see the seating and berths coming together. Always a pleasure to see friends coming together to help with fiberglassing and sharing stories as you accomplish more tasks.
Happy birthday Matt! Thanks for continually coming through with interesting content. I look forward to every new episode.
For weeks I've been wondering what a quarter-bird was. The penny finally dropped tonight! ;-) #berth
Great video, I think those benches in the doghouse will be the most used part of the boat. Happy Birthday Matt.
Definitely!
Happy New Year, another fantastic episode. The doghouse is coming together so nicely.
Just a fantastic ‘hangout’ laidback friend driven vid. Get it done in 2024!
I really got a feel for the size of your boat watching 3 men walking around with plenty of room to spare
Hi from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 since day one love it...
Forgot to add, Happy Birthday and many, many more great ones out sailing your beautiful boat!
You are already rock stars . Think of how it will be on You Tube when you are sailing..
Love your channel. Love the music selections. Love the way you approach each task. Love the way she is turning out. Love the vibe.
Thanks!
Not only does the State of Washington have the BEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM, "Go Huskies"; the State provides us with the BEST Utube boat projects. Happy Birthday Matt, love the Pilothouse. Great to see the wife participating and wishing you the Happiest New Year ever!
thanks, David!
Happy Birthday Captain
I’m a firm believer (from seeing poorly assembled things fail spectacularly), that there’s no such thing as an embarrassing amount of epoxy when it comes to mission-critical areas.
Also, plastic boats are cool. So are wood. I grew-up on plastic racing boats, moved to a wood-filled plastic boat and currently build wood-composite kayaks. As long as it floats…❤
I know nothing about boats (i know that they float, most of the time at least), i know nothing about most of the building process, but im learning a lot and enyoing every video. Thanks! Btw, we need to see the inspector more often 😺
she has been on an extended holiday (on the couch) but will be back to her tough inspections very soon
you know you have good friends when they give you SHIZ about a squeeky boat before it is actually done LOL I love it
It's so much fun following along. Sending wishes for a great year from Texas
Reminds me of that scene from 'The Blues Brothers'... "We got both types of boats here, Wood and plastic..."
I haven't even started drinking yet 🙂
I really want to her durring the finishing stages where design meets the elegance i do hope you take as much care durracell's softer side as you do building her refit
happy birthday🎉🎉🎉
Happy Birthday, Matt.
Happy New Year and Happy Birthday!!!
Watching from the Florida Keys this time. I hope you can make it here someday soon. :)
Wooden boats are just fine .. as long as you have the wallet to pay someone to maintain them so that you can actually enjoy them.
I grew up in a wooden boatyard - I can recall the smell of linseed varnish, sawn teak, oak and spruce at will. WEST timber aside, I just couldn't do timber ..
The cats bed will be the best bed on the boat when it's done! Happy birthday Matt!
Naturally. Or the boat would not pass its final inspection…
Happy Birthday. Here’s to 2024!!
You definitely need an 3m accuspray hgp with the 3m pps system. The hgp with 2.0 atomizer heads sprays gel coat amazingly well.
i just bought the 3m performance spray gun. it was a big purchase for us and i'm really excited to try it out.
@@TheDuracellProject The hgp version would probably be better for you as it's designed for spraying high viscosity costings. The hgp uses air pressure between the cup and the liner to force the product into the atomizer head. The hgp version still has the disposable atomizer heads.
You two are great! So glad for your holiday break. Happy birthday.
Wow looking awesome !!
In one of the great ironies of boatbuilding, there is already a dedicated cat space in the newly constructed 'dog house' that itself looking super - happy new year and happy birthday Matt.
Happy Birthday!
Let's go Niners ❤
Looking good guys.
Cool tool belt!
Love the progress
Happy New Year to both of you, hope you enjoyed the break. Fabulous to see the doghouse coming together so well, this year will see Duracell really transform into this beautiful new creation. I would imagine by this time next year she'll almost be ready for the water. Anyhow, sending positive energy as always.....Neil ☘☘😊😊
probably another 2 years before she's ready for the water ;) happy new year, Neil!
its getting fantastic !
You are the only plastic boat channel that I follow! 😉
A great start to the New Year!
Very nice episode. Fun to watch.
Your bracket design on the upper quarter berth is spectacular.
The boat is gonna be so nice. I can't wait to see you float it. But like I said, I just come for the jazz.
Great start to the new year.
Great episode ❤️
Happy New Year. 👍
Was the birthday cake glass or carbon? 🤣
Great video 2x👍
Layered glass and carbon!
@@TheDuracellProjectWOT!…No Kevlar?
😁
Happy Birthday and wishing all a stupendous 2024.
@@TheDuracellProject OOh real posh. 🤣🤣
@@robm.4512 Kevlar in a cake??? I missed that one. 🤣🤣 Nice 🎂
@@dcallan812 Perhaps a trifle chewy for some but it offsets the crunchiness of Carbon and Glassfibre nicely, especially when washed down with a freshly mixed decent vintage Epoxy. Not too warm though, it really makes the nose a touch overpowering.
😁
Impressive design and work! Keep it up
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
Very Nice. I’m impressed.
Happy Birthday!!
Awesome Guys, happy birthday and a happy new year.
Another lovely episode - seeing your progress of a highlight of the week
Happy New Year! 🥳
Happy new year Duracell crew!
Well done! Good job!👍👍🇦🇺
Happy new year guys
Happy New Year!
Looks like a fantastic hang out spot!!
I have the time, money and skills... I'm just trying to decide if I have the desire. A project like this has been calling to me for a while. Your channel is encouraging, I forgot how much I enjoy building things.
Go for it!
What a great Birthday!
Happy birthday!
The seagull is my favourite too (especially the sound bite!)
nice work, so relaxing watching you builtuff
Awesome work. You guys are doing great 👍
Love the boats progress,its looking realy great
Happy new year!
Happy birth day!
Happy New year !!! Kisses from Belgium !
Very festive and Happy New Year🚢🚢🚢
Happy New Year to you and welcome back. The boat is really starting to take shape 👊
it was interesting seeing you using all that epoxy to seal the tanks. i use the opposite approach. i will paint both the inside of the tank and underside of the lid with the appropriate tank lining product for a water tank, let it cure well, then lay the lid and lay some epoxy to fill some of the top gaps, like you did with the excess squeeze out. i then laminate all around the edges with a couple of layers. thats where i get my watertightness. the reason why i dont want any squeeze out on the inside is because i dont want epoxy leaching out onto the water i will be drinking for years to come.
Looking great...
Happy Birthday and Happy New Year.
happy new year from scotland
Happy new year!
Happy New Year and your family
Greetings from Greece! Happy New Year!
The project is really coming along well. Thanks for bringing us along.
LOL on the wooden boat comments! Leo Sampson is in Port Townsend somewhere listening!
Obviously we have lots of respect for Leo and the wooden boat crafts people of the world!
What a great group of friends, you’re a lucky man! Happy birthday!
Love it😊
Happy Bday!
Happy New Year to you and your family
Happy Birthday Matt and a happy new year to you both - great to see the doghouse being used for the first time to mark the occasion. Hope you had a great day. All the best and I am looking forward to following your progress again this year... :-)
Happy new (fiberglassed) year!
Things are starting to take place and the interior is looking less and less "raw" every day. Good job.
Fine episode----loved the camaraderie and the fanatic applications of epoxy, lol. Was greatly intrigued by Trevvettknot's work. I am all fumble fingers and would never be able to do such amazing and creative work----but, I can appreciate true artistry when I see it. That also applies to your work on your sailing vessel and insane devotion to perfection. Great time was had by me!!
Yes, his frames are stunning!
Happy New Year good family
Happy new year, things are looking really good. Keep up the great work.
Godt Nytt År til dere alle
Gratulerer med dagen
Takk!
Happy New Year! Love every video and so excited to see your project progress each week !
Happy new year to the three of you, here’s wishing you a good 2024
