Thank you, Greg. Your donations just make this channel even better for the rest of us; we love to see the joy and craftsmanship. Thanks for enabling their obsession!

I feel Greg should either visit and put his signature on an important piece of wood to be built into the boat or sign a piece and sent it to be built into the boat. Greg, you're a good man. Thanks.

Happiness is...Aladino in a Lumber Store!

Did you guys say hi to the Tally Ho gang while you in boat haven? Thats where they are at

You were right, Aladino: the yacht at 12:17 is "Cito" (ex- "Doxy"), an M2 Class Spidsgatter designed by MSJ Hansen, built in Copenhagen Denmark in 1936 by Jorgen Wass. The Folkboat is "Lorraine", owned by sailmaker Carol Hasse.

As a cabinet maker, the opportunity to have matched grain is almost never possible. I know from the real time updates you got the mahogany plank. That was the right call

Greg, thanks for helping where I can not, you are a blessing to these two..

what a perfect day out. Lumber yard with the most beautiful wood and a boat yard with lovely classic yachts. And then dinner overlooking that bay. You could easily spend a day, and a small fortune in Edensaw. Yes, Cheoy Lee designs are beautiful.

Since you occasionally visit the town with the Cape George Boatyard you should ask if you can raid their bins. Companies like that throw out some good stuff because it is not economical for them to refurbish nor do their customers want it. However it is an opportunity for you to get stuff using sweat equity rather than cash. Of course you are not going to find long pieces of Alaskan Cedar but you certainly will find off cuts fixtures fittings stainless steel screws hinges etc. Think of it as recycling or upcycling. The Boatyard will be just as happy for you to cart it off as the town garbage collectors.

So glad you enjoyed your day out, and kudos to Greg for the special surprise which made you so happy. There is nothing as much fun as finding you have more to spend than you thought.

Aladino’s tshirt perfection.

Life's little surprises from generous Patrons are a gift from God. Greg has a Heart of Gold to be helping support your project. You are a blessing Sir. What a wonderful thing to do. This makes me excited to see how things turn out on Sailing Magic Carpet II. Great video!

Nice job, as always. I like your gentle voice - your a great narrator. Also, I am a person who loves to look at various pieces of wood and admire their beauty and think about all the possibilities that each contain.

I would have thought that a West Coast Canadian would go for Madrone or Western Red Cedar. My wife loved to ride the Washington State Ferrys shown in the scene from the restaurant. So her last ride was on one of those ferrys and in your video you could actually see the location where her ashes were thrown to the wind.

If you all are in the Port Townsend area we need a Magic Carpet/Tally Ho crossover video!

The "little boy" in each of us, often comes out to play!

Thanks Greg. It's always something special to see a pair of artisans handed materials they transform into the wonders of their respective crafts. That Cape George deserves these two, and wonderful benefactors such as yourself.

Kid in a candy store! I worked for a third generation family logger/sawyer back in the early 80s in the Sierras of northern CA. I never forgot the excitement of sawing into a rotten log and revealing the beautiful heartwood still sound inside. I built my house on family property which was further back on the dirt road from the mill. Many of my paychecks for two years came in the form of lumber I set aside during the week. Often the best board or two (subjective) from each of the logs we milled. Some weeks the owner would say my pile of lumber was more than I earned. We always worked something out. ; ) As I was nearing retirement in 2013 I decided it was now or never and purchased a Woodmizer LT40 sawmill. I'm now in a very rural/remote area of north central Washington state near the U.S./Ca border, so the couple of local tree service businesses don't have sawyers clambering for their butt logs off the yard trees they remove. They don't want to hassle with these big heavy logs that quickly dull their chains, so they are happy to give them to me. My yard is full of stacks of sugar maple, red maple, birch, aspen, walnut, pine, cedar, fir and spruce. And I'm as happy as a clam!

You really must meet Kaci Cronkhite and see her sweet little double ender Pax. Her book "Finding Pax" is a boat odyssey. She and the boat are in Port Townsend.

I'm glad you're splicing the occasional field trip into this series. I know you have a huge project in front of you and I respect that you're making the most of the shop and the people allowing you to work there, but there's more to life than just work.

Love your poetic description by the water.

Aladino, you are perfectly right. Some pieces of wood simply tell you what they were created for and don't allow you to use them for anything else. My teak for Mariposa came from a yard where there was an acre of rough sawn teak laying out in an open field. I had no intention of having bright teak cabin sides, but after the first pass over the planer I couldn't re saw a 17" wide vertical grain plank into decking. That single plank ended up becoming the entire edge matched cabin trunk exterior.

I hope you get all the wood and projects accomplished This is the perfect time. Boat value one day will also be huge..

The folk boat you admired... Was Carol Hasse! 😃

Port Townsend is beautiful.

Awesome! She wears the pants, he has the skills.

Thank you Greg! Gave such a big woop! Following magic carpet since the French canals. So happy so see this beautiful couple make it so far! Al love the hoody, super green! Wish you all the best!

Another super episode, Greg is a superstar to help you finalise your dreams. I love how both of you are so humble and down to earth as you talk us through your thoughts on the possibilities that you now have for Magic Carpet 11. Take Care.

This channel is poetry expressed in wordsmithing and woodworking. My soul feels nourished that these two exceptional artists are building an environment that they share with us. May they always dream and share it with us who for many reasons lack the freedom to choose the same path. Thank you the beautiful, educational vlogs Maya.

You can smell a good timber yard long before you arrive

Some part of your vlogs are really lyrically. Like your talking about the sea and stuff while sitting on a stone by the beach. Keep on ...

I thoroughly enjoy every episode so much better than watching normal TV.

Hey, that was my boat in the yard. It's actually a 1968 wooden Mason 40 instead of a Cheoy Lee. I often get asked if it is a Cheoy Lee Offshore 40. I have the original blueprints to the boat signed by Alvin Mason.

Some pretty wooden ladys in this video!! thanks for sharing with us! great video!!

Thanks for taking us along on your wonderful trip. Thank you Greg for "our" lovely gift. 😍

You were in Port Townsend and you didn't take a look at SV Tally Ho! ?

After 2 hours at Edensaw I was hungry so we left. My wife would say the same thing. I love these little gems. Great video. Thanks for taking on an interesting trip to Edensaw and 2 boat yards. Always very interesting. Have a great week guys.

So cool to see people help fund your project. Greg is like a fairy godfather

Your videos and prose/narration continues to improve with each additional episode. The mixture of various environments in S4E20, was very refreshing. I like the idea of investing in purchase of Mahogany for the interior cabinets and shelves. It should really enhance the ambience of your living quarters.

Nice Folkboats at Townsend 😀👍⛵️. Great episode

Your passion and love for what you do brings a tear to my eye. Beautiful. Thank you.

that is a nice wood yard! I was lucky enough to have a wife that enjoyed wood and dreaming about what we could do with woods, so we spent time in such places too. Here in SF Bay area, some of the nicest wood yards have disappeared, but, there are some decent ones left. Get to know the owners and managers and you can get things sometimes. Ask about if they have more backstock, (even if you know they don't) and often they will ship some in for you. Even if they don't, it is good for them to know that there is demand for such and then they will bring in more in the future. Also there are some small specialty mills sometimes that you can find. Small loggers that have their own woodmizers or such to mill up what you want. The lumber might not be as dry or finished, but often times that isn't bad. I recently asked if a yard had any really clear Fir 4x6 lumber for some really nice rafters, (that I didn't kneed for 6 months yet) and the owner remembered he had some big aid dried bents that he was saving, and milled me up a dozen beautiful clear fir rafters. Thanks for taking us along.

It was nice to see you enjoying yourselves in Port Townsend. You work so hard. A bit of R&R is absolutely deserved!

What a wonderful gift! I definitely couldn't stop myself from looking at the great stock off project at EdenSaw, blinders back on and just buy the Spruce I required. Thanks for the shot of SV Touchstone pre-launch. Think I was on electrical at the time. Grinding hours of build work. Sometimes I just need to look at others boats to keep the inspiration up. Good to see you two getting time off project.

Great video. The sailboat in the habor is a danish spidsgatter - a big one. You can find a article abort the boattype if you seach for “the spidsgatter pax”, that is owned by Kaci Cronkite.

Uh oh Alladino is drooling, i believe. 😳

Port Townsend has an excellent boatyard with shipwrights with many years of experience and knowledge which would be an advantage to you're build.

I liked watching Aladino reach out and touch every piece of wood knowing I do the same thing. Beautiful wood just begs to be touched

I spent time in Port Townsend a couple years ago, your walk around the town was a nice reminder. Thank you for all the great videos. You are very likable people and I feel like I know you. I appreciate how Alidino works.

You show great artistic qualities in the videos you make, no matter what the episode is about. I'm sure it is an excellent way to express your thoughts, similar to playing music or painting a picture. The time and thought you must put into camera angles, backgrounds, what to say, and everything required for the recording, then the hours spent on editing, choosing and adding the music, creating fun or interesting effects, all add to make your channel most excellent.

Hi Aladino-- If you feel inclined to experiment with cored cabinetry consider Tricell. We did the entire interior interior of a 112' S & S motor sailor from veneered tricell panels we sourced from Edensaw. Main reason for the choice was that it is much more stable than even the best plywood. I also found that relatively thick veneers could be bagged down with epoxy leaving room to sand the joins and be nearly as durable as solid wood. And exotic hardwoods are nearly impossible to edge match over larger areas if in solid lumber form. Or stop by Boeing Surplus bins and browse for Nomex/carbon off cuts. They can be cheaper than plywood!

I’ve never had a view like that from a restaurant 🖐👍

Mahogany for beautiful grain matched cabinetry is weight well spent. Grab the slab!

You guys are amazing, very down to earth. You are lucky to have Greg as a benefactor.

Have you already met Leo who's rebuilding Tally Ho there?

Aladino didn't have my favorite work pant on. I immediately knew it meant a day off. What I didn't know was how cool this adventure was going to be. I absolutely loved the wood store. I can only imagine the numerous smells. And then the boatyard! What a great day. More boatyards and fewer condos!🤟

We have good sized teak trees on our property in the Philippines. I have reserved one for my boat when I get it to the Philippines. We are finishing some maintenance in Port Townsend then going south. Im thinking about that big teak piece in the lumber store there...One of the big trees has a sign on it that it belongs to Edwardo, a grey beard that lives down the road. The story is that grandpa Dominador(Wife's grandather) lost it some 20 years ago in a night of drinking, card playing and lying. Dominador has passed on, so we tried to pay the tree off, but Edwardo says no- he has no intention of cutting that tree but he wants the connection to his late friend Dominador, Rest in Peace Dom! Your teak trees live on!

Maya as always a grand lyrical script.

I love your videos! As you were exploring Port Townsend I was reliving our wonderful time in that most gorgeous of towns. I know you are working long hours and don't have the time to indulge yourselves in some of the other projects on youtube, but I want you to be aware of the Tally Ho project, a refit of a 100 old cutter, that is going on in the big marina you wandered through. I would bet Aladino would find a lot in common with Leo the boat builder, you are both master craftsmen.

Congrats on the vaccine! 💙🎉🤗

when you walked around the boat yard did you manage to bump into Leo and his crew who are rebuilding SV Tally Ho?

Greg you are awesome

Pure enjoyment watching your videos, listening to your beautiful story telling, and learning while you go through your work process. Thank you.

It’s so fabulous that you both have the same passion for your project and boating.

If you could have captured the smell of the Edensaw shop that would have been heaven

I know the end game from all your work will be fantastic 👀

Right on, Greg!

Happy for the both of you, and the gift you received from the Gentleman at Eden Saw ! Thank you for sharing your Journey.

I could almost smell the wood. Greetings from Rotterdam

Omg. So beautiful, the wood, the town, and yes the possibilities. Love ya...

Of all your refit episodes, this one is the most mesmerizing so far

My favorite town, all my favorite places and Sirens too!

The boat at 12:19 is a danish ”Spetsgattat”

Just delightful as always! What a timely and wonderful gift from Greg.

Good to see you take a break from work. Hope you find some useful timber.

aww folkeboot, sailed them alot in da baltic sea. one in Seattle eoe

What an exciting shopping trip! Be sure and visit Leo at Sampson Boat Co. the next time you’re at the Port Townsend boat yard! As always, Cheers!

Greg, You are awesome!

love port Townsend

What an enjoyable episode. I have never wished more that I could smell through the screen than I did when you were in the lumber store. I imagine it smells like heaven. I lived on Whidbey isl. for a few years and am planning on retiring there in a couple of years, perhaps I will see you and your beautiful boat on the water some day. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Thnx Greg

I suggest you go with your heart...❤❤

Another wonderful episode. I am in a hospital room in Palo Alto California recovering from extensive surgery. Your video was a breath of fresh air.

1. I'm very happy your happy place is video/film art creation. Without it I'd have no happy Friday video viewing. 2. Loved the harbor day away & views from Sirens. Just last summer I rode the ferry boats between Anacortes and San Juan Island on a bicycle tour.

look fab places to look around some very nice look at timbers wish you both well and t c

Thank you for bringing back great memories, I used to live at point Hudson and work at fleet marine. I knew Brian and Carol,meet kit Africa, and many more great Legends. Port Townsend is such a fun town. You should go out to fort Worden many fun hikes.

Maya you are a beautiful storyteller as well as an incredible videographer. Perfect music 👍⛵️⛵️🥰

You guys should go see Leo at Talley Ho!

Ooh, love to a whiff of that place.

another great video guys I have a novel suggestion for your vberth shelves, to save weight you could laminate some foam for the shelf structure and then laminate the veneer of your choice to give the wood look and feel without the weight just another idea to throw around enjoy

Thanks for taking us along on your drive. Nice nature and bullt scenery; so different to our scenes in England.

Not for this project, for the future consider the stongest wood is a grass. If you had a cubic foot of aluminum; it would take over 4,200,000 pounds to pull it apart it weights 166 per cubic foot. Bamboo weights 20 pounds per cubic foot. 8 blocks of bamboo of a cubic foot each weights 160 pounds,and it would take over 32,000,000 pounds to pull it apart. Black bamboo from Columbia grows over 120 feet in 5 years. When you cut it down the stump grows another tree in 5 years. I want to encourage you guys you have your dream boat very very soon. If you can follow my directions carefully. Get a sheet of paper; mark it north, east, south,and west. Put the south part against your chest. Wright these letters down. arasen araseg etuhctib no eyarirahs then turn the paper 180 the north will be at your chest. Turn the letters around so you can read them. Type this in your computer, and find the source of your riches. Fair WInds!

Maya, you are a bright, magnificent, attractive and talented young woman. You remember me so much a girl I met years ago, a new colleague of German descent, the same looks and the same quiet tone voice and adorable accent. I taught her French, her, German. Her name was Saskia and I fell immediately in love with her, but it was an impossible love at the time, me being married at the time in a toxic relationship. 3 years later, I tried to find her to no vail as she moved back in Ontario. I learned by mutual friends that she was so hurt from our failed "rencontre". I never got involved after That was 18 years ago, and to this day, I still miss and think of her. **Aladino, you are a very lucky man.

Basically Kurts Disney shop. The lumber store. From house construction, to boat captain. 😂👍

aahh a friday morning ray of sunshine , port townsend is truly a mecca for yachties , glad you gave yourselves a break it much deserved , a12 foot slab of exotic wood in this day and age, grab it and create !!!! fairwinds for both of you

I have a timber yacht and love the feel of it. She has teak capping on the gunnels that has never been oiled or varnished in 47 odd years and just needs a sand every 5yrs or so. All the teak on her is weather worn and grey but looks good and is very functional and low maintenance

I’ve used Edensaw for years. Glad to see them here!

Very nice video!...thank you for your work.

That place is not B & Q, I would have turned into a salivating monster in their and emptied my bank account! Greg must be an amazing patron, and you fully deserve his support, good man Greg, if you have it, share it with lovely people.

Did you manage to visit Leo of Sampson Boat Building while in Port Townsend? Judging true time scales is never easy with you tube content, but the last I saw he was there, and I would imagine Aladino would love their old construction boat made from huge timbers. Keep up the good work
