It can be a daunting process. But rewarding.

Thank you! So glad you are enjoying it. I hope to have Episode 3 released soon. You should come join us where it's warm and help us work on the boat!

Thank you! I was finally able to get back to working on this series. The new episode is coming soon!

So kind of you!

Thank you! WE are hoping to get back to completing episode 3 soon. It's been a crazy year!!

Yes - that's it! Wonderful. We took a slight pause to work on the new travel series but I'm hoping to get back to chapter 3 soon.

Thank you! Very kind of you!

So glad you like it! We had to take a brief break but hope to have new episodes up by the end of next weekend (Oct 9th/10th ish)

It worked on the test, but wait until you see Chapter Three where we steam the rest. There may be a few ribs that don't make it!

@@realmattdean If you are steaming nearly all 44, yeah odds aren't in your favor. I snapped or splintered like 4 in a row near the end and I'd gone for like 35 with no problems. I started thinking I wasn't steaming enough, or too much and then afraid I was going to run out of oak. good grief. Looking back I think it was because I had to use some kiln dried for the last few and it just didn't go as well as my 'greener' stock and, I wasn't paying as much attention to grain run out but when the sticks are 50 inches long and only 1 inch thick, what can you do. looking forward to your series!!

@@JenkinsBoatWorks I've been learning a lot from the team here and you're right about the details of steaming. Green and air dried vs kiln dried - grain run out - all things I had no idea about before. On ours - We had trouble with the sharpest bend near the transom which made things real interesting.

@@realmattdean ha yeah me too and that was when i was done to kiln dried lol

I have been trying to get back to it but a number of things got in the way. I’m finally back editing and will start releasing again in the coming weeks. Thank you for watching! - Matt

I am working on getting more of these videos out. The boat was put on hold for a moment as we got caught up in helping LAMI finish repairs and maintenance on their other boats. I am hoping I can get new episodes out in a few weeks.

It's all in good fun.

hahaha - yes. We upped the drama a little - however - it did feel pretty dramatic at the time and I'm betting there was a little drama at home when the wife found out the spaghetti pot needed replaced.🤣
