Why didn't you butt join the longitudinals on top of a beam? It would be stronger and invisible from inside the boat.

Guys, watch that lithium battery. It looked in very poor shape. Remember your lovely wooden boat. We are having heaps of house fires here in Australia due to lithium batteries.

My garage burnt down in February due to a tool battery going critical on charge,& it took half the interior of my house with it. In future, once the insurance company has rebuilt it & I replace all my tools, I'll go for a steel fire &heat proof box for Lithium Ion batteries - I can recover from smoking out my garage with toxic fumes, but living in a hotel is getting very old...

Agree totally, just modifying a steel toolbox with gypsum fire rated sheet inside as a storage and charger box for all my batteries as it is really becoming a concern with the lower quality batteries starting to appear everywhere. At least it is much safer than taking a risk. Please consider making one for Sarinda - your safety and investment are important.

@user-lu1td5wn2m 24 күн бұрын

Using copper nails to join your deck beams to steel or cast iron corner brackets creates contact between two dissimilar metals. Electrons will flow from one metal to the other - a Galvanic current - this leads to corrosion at the junction and eventually destruction of the joint. And if there is any moisture present from leaks or condensation, it gets even worse - you've built a battery. Maybe you should switch to a steel or a stainless steel fastener more like the bracket material instead of copper to reduce the Galvanic potential. Maybe a marine engineer could suggest a better fastener to use. I love your work and work ethic and would hate for you to get bitten by this issue down the road.

@jackzux9362 20 күн бұрын

Of course. Copper must not be combined with steel or cast iron, as this will result in intense corrosion processes. The brackets should be screwed to the wood using steel, preferably galvanized screws. Stainless steel screws should not be used here.

1:40 you know, when you see how good that new beam shelf and all the ends of the frames, the gaps for the gunnel strips and the joints of the deck beams. It just looks incredible. When you look back to the first videos and seeing the first work carried out replacing the rotten frames, showing the rotten beam shelf it just seemed such an impossible task, I was thinking “where is the strength going to come from to hold together a ship that once had few structural members but now has many fractional parts. But the reality is, it’s probably a lot stronger and secure now than ever. I really don’t understand where you both get your inspiration and energy from, well I do but I’m blown away. Literally.❤❤❤

@haydenwatson7987 24 күн бұрын

So exciting to get to the foredeck. Cannot wait to see next week's episode. One thing I would do in cutting the notches for the longitudinals is to add a sled to the bottom of the router. I have the same model and it has a removable plastic shoe on the bottom. Take that off and get four longer screws the same size and then bolt a board that is at least 2x the length of the slot to the bottom of the router. That way, it will always span the full gap and be fully supported on both sides.

You two are really becoming master boatbuilders although I did question your horizontal scarf joint on the longitudanls. Wouldn't it be better to butt join the boards in the middle of the deck beam cuttout rather than in mid-air? The load pressure is downward and even with an underboard you are not adding anymore strength. Another tip to fix Jemma's deck beam chip. Save some of that fine sawdust you've "hoovered" up, mix it with clear resin to thicken, slap it on Simon's chip.cure, sand and 3 coats of varnish and you'll never see it.

While the hot cutter on the router can start a fire in dry sawdust or shavings... Sparks can cause a dust explosion in an enclosed space. Damp sawdust as it drys compost heats and can also cause a fire.... So hoover it dry ....store it in a metal bin or barrel with a lid and if you wet it ... Wet it to a slurry its heavy and messy buy safe. I know a violin maker who made that mistake and lost his workshop and nearly his whole house..🔥

Great video again, learning as you go. The smouldering sawdust is a definite thing you need to check. I worked part time as a security guard at a scrap yard. One day they had an boat in to cut up . When doing the rounds i saw smoke coming from the planking on the boat in a few minutes it burst into flames, I put it out with fire extinguisher. It seems a cutting torch was being used and a spark had smoulder under the decking. They had finished two days ago as it was a weekend.
