Grab an ice cold IPA, stand back and admire that red beauty !!! Grab another IPA, and say "coming along nicely" Good stuff guys.
I did not expect the traditional rigging to affect the looks this much! It is awesome!
WoW! For a couple of tired, burned out boat builders you guys are still making beautiful, consistent things. When the Bowspirit was mounted a few weeks ago I thought "now your talking" and now the dead eyes are in place she's become even more beautiful.! Well done you guys - you're almost there
She’s sure looking good. So unique and more beautiful than a fiberglass boat
Nice editing as usual, Ruth. Thanks for bringing us along.
Good to see sister & friend helping you two out. We can feel the weight of five + years wearing on you. Thanks for letting us see your personalities show through. Life on stage can't be easy. I've sent a few bucks to get your sails made, thanks for asking. Nothing will make us all happier than to see you two under way. Great to see the details on rigging.
This is very nice work. Worming, parceling, serving and slushing. Ancient techniques brought back to life. You may have missed the worming and parceling, but it's still wonderful to see 😁
I used to splice 3-strand ropes, using the marlin spike on my sailor's knife, when I was 9 years old. You guys are bringing back good memories for an old guy in his 70s. Thank you.
The thousands of hand work details required to build a traditional boat elevate Rediviva to the level of a work of art. I 'm looking forward to vicariously sharing your cruising adventures.
This entire project along with the restoration project of Tally Ho by Leo Sampson and the "Acorn to Arabella" build by Steve and Alix are the works of artisans combining traditional boat building with a mix of traditional and modern tools. Between the 3 projects I see 3 fantastic works of art appearing right before my eyes. Here's hoping they all inspire more to chase their dreams and build their works of art.
@@michaelcaraway2305
You are right. Those 3 must be considered and are Works of Art, not only as "boats". Otherwise, that would be crazy to spend years in the making only to go sailing per say. Any modern fiberglass would be good enough if not better suited. This is an awesome endeavor of preserving traditionnal workmanship.
Note that I also follow Dan and Kika of Sailing Uma. They took an old, barely floating 1970's 31 foot sailboat and turned it into an awesome high-tech blue water ship. Also very impressive but of a completely different nature.
I'm an old geezer of 68 with big health issues and those brilliant youngsters never stop to impress me. I wish I went their route decades ago... ❤️
Your work is at its peak and you can now see the horizon towards the finish. Thanks for sharing it all. Looking fabulous as a always.
Joe
better and better getting close
Your rigging work, while brutal and time consuming, is exquisite.
Happy Thanksgiving neighbors.
What a dedication Garrett !
Really looking good and your cleaning house too
I've done Matthew Walker knots in as few as three strands and as many as 18 strands, it's just that three is the normal number of strands for rope, so that's what you usually see. The more strands you have, the more challenging it is to keep everything straight as you work the knot.
A two thumbs up to you Garrett. While watching the latest episode, I wondered if you thought how incredibly luck you are to be setting on top of the water on your boat that’s floating in that slip. Your actually doing a small project with the deadeyes, but what a project under your very own feet The boat you and Ruth built. Sometime we loose the perspective, not to say that you have, but a incredible job Captain. I also wish I could find a new home for all my stuff, haha! Your channel makes the difference in the Covid period, thanks. Chase that dream…...
Your boat is starting to turn into a time machine. Each new detail you add makes your boat look like it was brought here from the past. When all of the rigging is finished and you’ve added rat lines and what ever else you have planed your boat will look fantastic. Well, it already looks fantastic now but it will keep looking better and better. I can’t wait to see her on the water with a full set of sails flying. Love your videos and you two guys.
A galvanised bolt is no substitute for a hardened steel bolt. Also nylon WILL swell in water, especially seawater. Pls some brass strips on the bulwarks! However, they sure look good!! Nice job Garratt. I can't wait to see your boat sailing!
Garret, my grandfather lived on a Colin Archer boat which was built in Norway. As a Child he would sit me on deck and teach me to tie knots, then progressing to splicing, caulking etc. It is great to see you keeping the traditional boating skills alive. The worthwhile things in life are worth investing in.
Constantly blown-away by the many insanely tedious tasks Garrett commits to -- and accomplishes! Most of my such endeavors have been for various employers through the decades, only giving me "pride of ownership" of that work completed (read: I could comfortably-- but only figuratively-- put my name on it. You know: like the Hanes lady in those 1980s commercials). Anyway, in the world of corporate employment: "No news is good news" is the operative phrase describing your job performance-- only complaints of mistakes make the cut for communication to the drones slogging away in the trenches. But building a boat which might possibly sail into harm's way? That "pride of ownership" equates to absolute confidence in one's craft (or crafts)-- both, actually. Garrett's multi-dimensional talents in all the crafts involved pretty much ensures the entire craft will endure. The hours of mindless tedium can only inspire confidence when needed. There's no such thing as "no news is good news" here-- that floating thing with masts and sails is a home, a vehicle, and a world dependent upon itself. Corners cut are cruel demons in every respect. I proudly doff my hat to all this man does and has done (and I'm sure he'll get that whole welding thing settled under his talent-belt before too long!) Cheers!
She is looking beautiful!!!
Happy a thanksgiving kids!
I think someone must have been a ship builder in their previous life. Great job you two. Very awesome
The upbeat music while fast forwarding Garret had me rolling?😂😂 It looks like he’s doing some techno rave dance on drugs. I kept rewinding it and it kept getting funnier. The rigging is so beautiful. Very well done. I wish each episode was an hour long. Shout out to your sister for kicking organization into gear. It’s always a rewarding feeling.
I have been following from the early days, and am endlessly impressed with your progress. I have no advice how to carry on in a way that is maintainable for you... but I do hope you can get sailing soon and make all the trials and tribulations worth it!
My main advice for mental clarity would be never read youtube comments... but that maybe too ironic.
Happy Thanksgiving to both of you and thanks for getting this video out to us today. I know the project is currently a bit daunting but you will get through this. While every sailor has his own priorities, to me it seems like rigging, spars, engine and controls. Then you should be ready for a sea trial. That will let you get your focus and energy back.
The blocks look so pretty . Now she's a sail boat .
Respect - that rigging is a work of art 👏🏻👏🏻
Anxious to see the maiden voyage now.
The rigging coming along beautifully. Ships of old did not have stainless steel. Soon enough your stern will be visible passing into a sunset to new horizons. Happy Thanksgiving and best wishes with respect sent.
Garrett seems a lot less angry now. Much more personable. Makes your channel so much better.
Your rigging really adds craftsmanship and beautiful detail that sets your ship above the others. Nice job!!
Hey Garrett and Ruth (mostly Garrett;) ). If your thru bolt on the steel strapping bolted to the hull (sorry I’m not a sailor) was a little longer and you drilled a thru hole in it and ideally used a castle nut an cotter key that nut will not need to be lock tight, or torqued super tight. The cotter key will keep the nut from rotating.
Best of luck
You can see the love and dedication in every stroke of the artists brush.
This boat is really beginning to come together , the workmanship is really nice. This is the reason I watch thanks for that. Keep up the good work. 🙂
Great job , and the knot looks great
Very cool boat guys! Love the rig and the boat is really unique. Huge amount of dedication building this all yourself. Major Kudo's to you guys. My girlfriend and I are saving for a gaffer to take cruising offshore right now.
Looking very nice
Random Sailor: "Can you tie a knot in this that won't come out?"
Garret: "Hold my marlin spike."
I’ve been on both sides of a question like that....Loosely related: Wear a red shirt to Lowe’s and see how many people ask you how to do something.
Bravo! Nothing like rigging to make a sailboat look like a sailboat!,
Been around boats for awhile now. Not like this though. This is fascinating! Such a craftsman. Thanks for sharing
in ten or so years, you might place a bronze fitting inside those stays, just to keep them from corroding away
Another great, fun, interesting video! Hope you ignore the negative comments - for every one there are a thousand of us who wait every week for our Ruthie & Garrett fix. Maybe 10,000. And thanks for showing an old Boy Scout a new knot! - from a little village on the Erie Canal
That was too quick yet very satisfying. Thanks! You're getting closer to the need for fair winds and following seas.
I had been wondering whether you would use the Matthew Walker for your lanyards. Very happy to see you did - the only proper know to use. The crown on top to finish it is new to me. I usually whip the end in the centre. Good idea making the "3-strand" out of 12. :)
Happy Thanksgiving to you two. Hope your day is great.
Happy Thanksgiving to you both🦃
I second Silas’s comment. Your attention to detail is great!!
Another great video.
Beautiful work.
Love the classic rigging. Love u guys. Hope u come to sweden one day
Great job bosun.
The heavy timber’s have been finished 🪚. The lashings in now progress 🪢. The sailmaker selected 🪡. The day is coming when you can weigh anchor ⚓️ and sail ⛵️ out to sea 🐋. But for today have a little turkey 🦃 and a drink 🍸or two 🥃 and a restful Thanksgiving.
Loving the salty looking shot at 10:45. Had to go back and screen shot that!
Great work thanks for sharing
Ciaooooo dall Italia. COMPLIMENTI
Have a nice Thanksgiving
You two have really turned a corner; you’re getting so close! Hope you’re able to sit back and drink in your accomplishments from time to time!
Been watching awhile. She is starting to bloom into a beautiful boat. Incredible craftsmanship. Can't wait for the wind in the sails.
Garrett, your workmanship is very good. Your choice of metals is not ideal, I also understand you are on a budget. The galvanic corrosion is just not between the metals touching but the whole circuit. You have carbon steel for the chain plates at one end of the circuit and aluminum at the other. That is your primary potential in corrosion aluminum to carbon steel, as long as the circuit is connected you will get current flow and corrosion. The galvanized bolt in between is just a conductor. Then add in lovely salt water and you will have corrosion a lot of it. I would inspect those fittings once a month when you begin sailing. Replace them with stainless or bronze as time and money permits.
Also, you will have to thoroughly clean the marine grease off the threads prior to using the Loctite. Also as with stainless, passivated and zinc plated fasteners you will need to use loctite primer to get the Loctite to cure. I would recommend Loctite 242 or 243 for your application and Primer N will work well.
I am a chemist, but years ago I was a welder (HT) in the USN. I understand corrosion and it mechanisms really well. I have also worked for Henkel the company that makes Loctite.
I do enjoy your channel.
Happy Thanksgiving to you
There's a quote I try to keep before me. I can't remember how it came to me but it was penned by William Morris (1834-1896):
"Keep nothing about your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful."
The rub is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and there is much tucked away in my "bunkers" that does nothing but evoke beautiful moments from my long life. If I ever believe I must toss a memento, if feels like an amputation. I wish you success in your efforts to organize and thank you for adding to the beauty about me.
I've been watching you guys since we both lived in Washington (I live in Arkansas now). I have loved watching you guys build this vessel. I hope that you guys continue to make episodes after the boat is complete.
Glad to see you wearing a hat! Melanoma is no fun.
All this hard fiddly work is so worth it...details are soooooo important.
Merci. Vite en mer...😇😇😇
Thanks for the video
More positive vibes in this episode❤️
Kick ass job on the rigging!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Happy thanksgiving! Nice rigging!
Beautiful job!
14:53 check out the background. lmbo! Too funny! Another great video, thanks!
Thanks ! I did'nt notice at first glance. Too funny ! 🤣
Loving the tight scarf joint glamour shot at 3:14 !
A great work ethic on both your parts, with a serious attention to detail which I am sure will pay of in the long run. Really enjoy your content; thank you.
These bolts and cables will maybe corroded one day but as easy you have access you'll be able to check them from time to time :) I feel that this is the end of a long way and you both worked so much that in fact you're worrying to be bored after, don't you ? You two are so beautiful :)
"time to start getting finished." Ain't no pirate afraid of a keel that lays in port all the live long day..
??? wot.
@@brian.7966 "Gotta get exploring." There's a whole World out there to be seen and beheld as they already know.
Damn that rigging looks beautifull and durable just like you two.
I have been following you (Binge watched) for the past 6 months. Very impressive, keep the faith you will be out Blue Water Sailing before you know it. P.S. Looking forward to my "Salt & Tar" T shirt hope it helps support your efforts.
Fabulous pace, right here! 👌🏽💯🍀
Jared just came over and said have you seen my flip it😂 it was just in my hand and you girls have cleaned everything out and now a can’t find a damn thing 🤣🤣
absolutely love the video bomb by Ruth's sister in the background
Looks like u guys have turned a corner and seem more positive and motivated. Nice to see the new energy! Cheers! Mexico on the horizon!!!)))
I like your channel. I never thought a bolt could be so important. I wish you the greatest success and best of luck.
Looking good, Happy Thanksgiving.
Congratulations on your choice of music for the short paced work on the shrouds. Cool.
Damn them girls really made a mess. lol looking great guys.
Sweet video
the beautiful rigging - NOW it looks like a boat! ;-) A boat ready for some pirate-y stuff.
there is something very therapeutic, the after you get rid of some of the redundant stuff. obviously a hard task, but we all suffer from the stuff disease... Well done... Rig looks good. There's a pirate ship in there some where...
She's looking good u2,nice work.going the extra mile all ways pays big
Looks sooo beatiful with the deadeyes finally on the boat. Thats one think I really like about the traditional Style. To touch it off a rope ladder between them would really be nice, but maybe you can do that when you are in the caribbean ;)
Again, a great video. Getting closer and closer! I admire you both!! Cheers n beers from Australia 🇦🇺
As mentioned elsewhere, you can do a Mathew Walker in any number of strands but keeping track of 12 and pulling them all tight would be a real challenge. Anyway, I think your 3 strand solution looks better.
She’s looking beautiful.
Looking good guys, keep it up! Happy graditude day!
So, I've been in quarantine for a week and a half now, (the whole family got the Kung Flu at once,) and even though I've been watching since the early blog days, and still haven't started my Mary Reed schooner, (the little one from G.B.'s backyard boat building; we're lake land locked, so 19feet is more than enough,) your vids have become a necessity and a motivation. I appreciate you two so much. As soon as I'm safe to go to home depot I'm finally going to lay keel for my birthday next month. Happy Turkpocolypse and much love. F___ 2020!!!
NICE!!
I'm the male version of your sister! Please offer us a view of the finished product. The outcome of this project will definitely bolster your spirits, I'm sure. Happy Thanksgiving!
Brilliant work. The two of you are so humble but do amazing work. Wish I was near to help!
