I also relate to restoring wooden boat in a way similar to our doings . So far , I've done seven lapstrake hulls of canadian built , mainly Cliffe Craft from early 1960 . With no inside workshop , I have delt all the last 30 years , with makeshift car shelters and others I've built . Being in Québec , that gives an open time frame of about 7 months to works with relative comfort and It leaves time for other things in life . My last project , an 18 foot outbord has stretched into a 7 year span . And that will be the last one at 71 yo , roaming the St-Laurence River and Islands will now be my messing about . Born in Montréal and now based 17 km from shore , in Joliette , an easy trailerable distance . I here salute your tenacity and understanding in your wooden project . Love all your episodes . Congrats for your newborn son , a blessing ! By trade , I'm a musician in the folkies realm . Could submit music to you , if suited . Your piping doesn't make me deaf ! Cheers .

Lovely to see she is getting a second chance instead of rotting her last years away. Well done, not a project for the light hearted but you have a history with her and a future now !!

Wow what a ambitious project. She is a old beauty, she surely has a soul. Just look at the work put in to her when she was made. The original builders were real craftsman of a by-gone era. She is excellent content for a KZfaq series, I wish you much success, on this most worthy project.

Great beginning with starting the fire...drew me right in.

Kindling a wood stove and wooden boat restoration - great opening 🤣 Good luck!

Just found your channel and subscribed. As a retired boat restorer/repair myself I wish you all the best with this project. She'll be a good one when she's done.

I like your style of presentation. I can't wait to catch up on the videos.

That's gotta be one of the best video intros I've seen, love it!

Every great adventure starts one step at a time. I'm with you for the rest of the story.

Definitely a lot work ahead of you, but that intro had me thinking about is this about cabin life then you threw the big curve ball.....lol was absolutely brilliant hook line and sinker you had me good. Love the style of the video.

Takes me back! 30 years ago I did my own restoration. Lovely boat, my favourite of all.

It was very interesting to look at and calculate what is rot and what needs replacing!Go for it!😀👍Pretty cool!Good video and display of interior! I understood everything you pointed out!

Jeez that squeek from your scraper set me and the dog off

I believe the deck is covered with canvas and oil based paint. In the old days this is how it was done!

Love it!! Was so close to getting my own pilot cutter, but the guy wouldn’t sell. She’ll be a beauty when you’re done with her!

She is a lovely looking boat. Whilst watching the first visit, I wondered whether putting salt in the bilges would help preserve a boat stored on the hard with leaking topsides for any length of time. I know many have iron floors, but it doesn't look like it in this case. I will be following your project with interest. Keep well.

Intro outstanding, everything inside the boat just made me dizzy and sick

Beautiful Boat Bro , Much respect for saving Her

I think it was built in Essex , the wiggins started off in the early 1900,s in Leigh on sea Essex , known as cole and wiggins, after building the endeavour the wiggins went to great wakering Essex , a few miles inland from Leigh which is on the river Thames, to the river crouch which might be where your boat was built

It's good see someone inspecting a restoration project before deciding if it's doable/worth the time/money and within your skill set etc rather than just diving in. I've subscribed but you're on probation...

Lovely boat.

It’s a boat, made out of wood. What’s not like.

I know your using your phone but please start using it in the correct orientation and give your viewers better footage that said not a bad start have fun and keep it up

Im interested in this project, definatly not interested in hearing that scraper again

That scrap was tough on ny ears lol

Respect....

If you are doing a complete restoration , do get off all paint on the inside of the boat . Do not paint the inside zo the timber can breathe . Put one or two layers of thinned varnish on , don't do anything more . That wil keep the wood breathing and healthy .

The red shed at mill head, on potton creek , great wakering , a former brickworks building in the early 1900,s

Hey There bud! watched your series-enjoyed it--- you had a new baby--- then you disappeared. HOW ABOUT AN UPDATE?? LOVED YOU WORK-Rich.

Interesting project. Camera work made me feel sick, but interesting project.

Зачем винчестер на стене?от кого отстреливаться?😃

I really enjoyed the first episode and look forward to binge watching the rest over the next couple of days. Have the decks been covered by Cascover using a resorcinol based glue? We used this system on Inchcape class yachts at Eyemouth Boat Building Company when i served my time in the late 80'son the hull and coachroof.

That's Elie Harbour

A little more searching and I found a bit more info about what seems to be your design. I think you may have a Johnson and Jago 2 1/2 tonner. Johnson and Jago bought the Cole and Wiggins yard The cabin you removed seems to be as designed rather than an add on. More info can be gleaned from these links intheboatshed.net/2009/08/19/johnson-jago-2-12-tonner-sales-leaflet/ endeavourtrust.blogspot.com/2012/12/wiggins-family.html marinestore.blogspot.com/2009/07/save-this-boat.html Cheers Eric

What did you say happened to the engine?

Is that a '97 Winchester hanging on the wall?

I would have said bye bye its a basket case.

Good start, very shaky camera work though.

Blair witch restoration project.

If you could move the camera faster it would be helpful

Is that a real Winchester 1873 or a replica?

Is that the same POS boat that i helped you get lifted out of Elie harbour on to the back of a low loader about a million years ago??

You need to film on a camera not a phone

If you are going to show condition of boat keep the camara as still as possible as your jumping a lover the place so not seeing much

Slow the camera ,get sea sick jumped around to fast

Your right, your camera work really sucks. was your nose 4" from what you were recording? made me sea sick. My monitor is 24'' wide. Please use all of it. yeah, I subscribed. Can only get better.
