I've never sailed. Changes are I won't ever sail. That does not stop me from enjoying the hell out of your content. Keep it up, Sam!!

Anyone else realize that Sam not only does single-handed sailing, but most of his power tool operation is done single-handed?

Thank you Cody! Now maybe we can watch Sam using both hands. 😆

Really enjoying the vlogs!

you make the mundane repairs very interesting... inspirational and motivational

It seems the more you succeed and receive support, the more you work and find things to do. You're legit man.

It's crazy how fast this refit has gone by. you've been working super fast, good on ya.

Pretty gnarly water hoses - definitely a good clean up job for sure. Thanks for sharing Sam!

Oh Sam! Water in the chair? No problem! I have this nifty drill....

It's nice to watch your numerous projects and everything progressing. I wouldn't be able control my temper and language like you do!

Run a hole tank of equal parts white vinegar and water 2 times and rinse with water two times.

Always clean your bed between prints! :-) A spray bottle of ISO propyl alcohol will do nicely.

Love your idea for mounting the rear anchor- except for now you gave me one more "boat project" LOL!

Getting things done with Sam!!

Really enjoying the daily videos,buddy-thanks!

Wish someone sold lids for the Oui jars. Hint hint. ;)

Maybe you could print a cork like thingy to blog your new air vent for when you are underway. Also a rim lip where you could put a screen inside to protect from those biting flies. Did you see that salt gun for flies? Very cool, saw it on another sailor’s KZfaq post. It uses table salt as ammo. They sell them on Amazon.

Hey Sam, you should print some TPU bases for your fuel cans... I remember you were having some trouble with them rusting before.

Hope the anchor light is LED. I kept forgetting to turn my incandescent anchor light off and it would drain my batteries. Switched to LED and electric use is reduced to almost nothing.

Depends of brand of transducer but a solvent base paint with shrink the window for thr transducer and it will leak some say water base paint will make shrink and leak but at my boatyard it's a big no no if we do get paint on we have a soft pad we clean it off with just water not to scratch window on transducer

Thanks Sam. I really like these. You’re fixing stuff and all the while filming it. That’s a lot of work.

Lol love it. You lime how shinny it is. Lol put a buffer on your wish list and clean that green off the thing next to it. It should get shinny too. I know I'm a jerk but I like your channel. You are living my dream keep it up.

The old hardened hose ends, try cutting them next time. That usually works quicker for me.

Use hairspray to get your 3D prints to stick. It works great. Sometimes a little too great.

Its amazing what you can do with one hand.

Sam. Do yourself a favour. Whale foot pump restore kit. Take one along on trip. The rubber manifolds inside pump don’t last, specially if you soak in bleach. Whale make right and left. Slice length wise the stuck water line and it comes right off. It was painful watching you struggle

I'll second the suggestion from few videos back to rewire the sump/bilge pumps with a manual and new wire throughout, cracking insulation on old wires, rats nest mostly removed but consider the first time learning switches pumps, need for manual (courtesy online assembled wisdom) and practice with old wire. So many splices like spokes on a wheel, after 2 or so go, rebuild /rewire needed... Not worth a short out at sea ⛵ and up dry , (think > 4 years?). Y(NM)MV

I can recommend Röde Microphone, probably the best when it comes to block out wind noise. Röde Wireless Go II is fantastic with the Furry Windshields.

LOL Mas OCD is matched with this guy carelessness but always a pleasure watching

Better to fill water you are going to drink with a white "RV" hose vs a "garden" hose. Reason: lead. Lead is used in the manufacture of PVC/parts except "food grade" parts like the white RV hose. Not a huge risk, but why add lead to your drinking water when a hose meant for drinking water is readily available?

All coming together nicely. Have you ever thought about a head cam?

Nothing beats messing around on a boat!

Hi ! I think it's not the first time I see you printing stuff in transparent plastic for the boat. I highly recommend you use black plastic instead. The black pigment will absorb UV light before it reaches the plastic too deep, which will make the parts last longer in the sun. It also applies to zip ties, always prefer black zip ties in the sun. Hope this little trick helps you or someone :)

thanks sam

Sam if those port lights are still Spartan brand they make screens that insert to them.

Sam, you are a wizard with that 3D printer!

Boat is looking good Sam keep up the good work stay safe God bless you man from Ray Garrett Roseville California USA

Props on the mech board. Nice keys.

think about a carbon water filter upstream of the faucet for drinking water....you may get sketchy water in places on your travels....

Love the daily vlogs!

Gorilla pods are fantastic. I've had one wrapped around a support on the roof of building for a solid week and it stayed in place without an issue.

Lil by lil, you'll get her ready.

Thought: Can you not you stitch new hoses to old hoses with wire and pull them through, like we do with wiring? Those hoses can be harboring some pretty nasty cooties. Remember that a shower puts any bacteria into aerosilized suspension and can be breathed in. Paying for another two yards of hose may be worth running the rest through. More work yes, but taken care of for years to come. :)

“I listened to the audio and it was kind of crackely” bruh I thought I broke my second pare of earbuds this month!

1:32 I hear some fairly tactile switches! Perhaps Sam is a bit of a gamer in his free time..

Sam I am really enjoying the daily vlog format! Keep it up!

Still liking these VLOGs. $2500 for metal roofing??? WOW. Our quote was $25,000

i quite like the double masking tape

put suction pads or cups .,.,like the kind that stick to windows,.,.on the bottom of each tripod leg,..,.,just a thought never seen it before.,.,.might stick to smooth surfaces,.,.peace

You’ve done so much this off-season! It would be sweet to catalogue all of that out. Or maybe that’s too much haha.

I hope the anchor light is a good one! 🤞

Sam… awesome idea on posting casual “boat project” videos. Could you provide a link in your description on the type of 3D printer you’re using; scanning and drafting software and the type of filament(s) you use. I see potential opportunities on a separate series of videos called “workshop videos using simple 3D printing”. You may even want a smaller version of your 3D printer for your on-board boat work area? Maybe have a gimbal mount to balance the boat movement? I appreciate all the work you do!

awesome job Bro........now go mow the lawn.....

How cool is this using a 3d printer for boat parts

Like your vids and as a professional photographer the first thing we do is take a microfiber cloth and clean the lens before filing =) subbed

I used the same hose/grey pipebarb combo on my bus conversion and it leaked terribly. So if a connection ever leaks on you, heat the hose section on the barb with a heat gun, and tighten the hose clamp with an impact. That's what saved me. Love following your videos and your progress!

Do you need special UV-resistant plastic for 3D printed parts? I'm curious how those things will hold up.

New subscriber, love the channel. I would recommend better audio. Find it a little awkward listening on my tv. Phone no problem.. keep up the good work..

Sam, get a gopro, you can attach a mic n windscreen. Or get a Mic for your phone.

Would you recommend that 3-D printer (brand?/Model?)? If not, is there a different one you’d go with?

Yougurt? That looks like cigaweed!

SAM, sell those yogurt jar lids. If those are what I think they are, I’d like to have some of those. 🙂

That wasn't a Gasoline container in the bilge?

Cool keyboard. 👍

What printer are you using ?

Is the 3D printed plastic UV protected?

9:47 better add an elbow. it'll kink

Are you in North Carolina?

1:26 what keyboard is this?

What is this guy's story? Does he just have everyone under the sun giving him stuff? Does he have a job? Does his family come from money? Dude seems to be living the dream.

Hey sam! Have you ever considered starlink internet? May be a good solution to your internet ploblems!

You got some ADD love it

I'm a brewery owner/ ME Engineer. I'd love to collaborate/ help fund your Atlantic trip. Please let me know how we can work together!

You will never become Monke if you use Gorilla pod. 🤣

This has all been done 50 yrs ago mr bad mike.

Daily vlog.........3 days ago

Sam, what's the link to your wish list?

Making progress!

This is an ARG

Sam Holmes "the real MacGyver "

Trump available as a boat anchor

👍!!

Gets gorilla camera tripod then does not use it. Sheesh. I keep gettin' seasick from the camera movement. Good grief.

Hey Sam, is mrs zoe sailing with you?

Get some wire loom

So we have to watch 105 minutes of unedited video a week instead of 20 mins of actually interesting video a week? Guess I won't be following Sam across the Atlantic after all. I'm sad tho. Multiply that by 80 thousand viewers and each week this Vlog thing consumes 110,000 hours of extra viewer time per week. I just don't have the time.
