I thought some of those roads looked familiar, then you said Nevada! Belated welcome to my state. I love it here. :) For Tahoe: check out some of the more secluded spots like Chimney Beach or Secret Cove (nudist beach, but you can get to Secret Harbor, Creek Beach, and Whale Beach from there). They're normally pretty empty during the week. Chimney Beach is crazy packed on weekends. All of those beaches take a bit of a hike to get to, so the tourists avoid them. Park along the road near the Secret Harbor Beach Trailhead waypoint on google maps.

something that changed my life was hearing "don't put it down, put it away"

Hey Emma! I'm finally all caught up on your videos! Congrats on all of your progress!!

Been working with spray paint often for 2 decades. The weird bubble/wrinkling was because your bottom layers weren't fully cured yet. Spray paint cures slower in humid environments. You should get all your base paint layers down during the open time of the paint. For the next layers (the stripes) you want to put your nose up to the base paint (literally touch your nose to the surface) and smell for fumes. If you can still smell the paint, it is not cured yet. I will often leave things to cure for a week or more before doing detailing like that. Alternatively, you can take a hairdryer to the paint to help it cure faster since paint curing is simply a matter of air movement, heat, and air moisture. Hairdryers blow hot dry air, so you can cut curing time down considerably. Just make sure you at least wait for the paint to no longer be tacky so you don't blow dust into the paint.

Amazing and inspirational to us all 😊

In your work you are tenacious, persistent, i admire your attitude, even in the midst of obstacles you continue to keep going, i love your videos, you are a smart and knowledgeable woman. ❤

Yes, I can see it! You are just wonderful to watch and listen to... Love it!

You have a broken off splinter in your finger. You may want to dig that out before it becomes infected. Boat looks really good!

Just discovered your channel and am loving it, ( maybe cause you doing something I've been dreaming off) love your ingenuity and straingh...great project..want to see more of the buid, but mostly...cant wait to see you take a dive from the recently finished deck... greetings from all across the ocean... Portugal

I'm excited for you!!! I'm beyond impressed with the carpentery skills you have developed.

I can see it!

You are doing an outstanding job on that houseboat. Compound miter cuts are hard to do but you make them look easy. Many boat shops have what is called a "moaning chair" a place to sit and go 'what did I do'?? Seems you don't need one of them. LOL

mite be a bait late now emma but when you get your wood lie it down on the shop floor and check to see if its all touching the floor then flip it over on each side and check them sides as well ❤

Coming along great can't wait to see it in the water

I can see it! And getting so excited.

A Real professional at woodworking will use whatever tool they're most comfortable and able to get the best results with. doesn't matter what tools you use. what works the best for you, IS the best tool you can use. but yes. any High-speed tool being used. should generally be used (not slow per se) at a decent and steady movement. mostly to make sure you're accurate and to prevent Blow-out of the wood you're using. the harder the wood the slower you generally need to move the tool along. but the same can easily be true for very soft woods as well. Depends on the tool & material it's used on. so don't give yourself a hard time for using any tool you have to do a job. whatever works for you, works for you. Just be safe, measure twice(Or more), Cut once and be aware of where your hands, Fingers and generally limb locations are in relation to the tools used ^^ Keep at it and don't worry about what anyone here thinks. if we see something we might be able to show you a better way of doing, we'll speak up, and if you wanna try it, try it, if you don't, don't. this is a very nice and chill video-series to watch along with. and some of us might even learn some things we're doing poorly and fix it because of this ^^ I would like to say tho. for the next project, if it doesn't sound like the worst or most costly idea out there, Buy yourself a Bandsaw, be it a portable on you can mount or a full-size one. either way. something that is stationary with a plate you can put the pieces of wood you need to cut on a Flat surface where you can move the piece and not the tool. Might help you make some of the cuts you gotta do more safely aswell as easily. just throwing that out there tho ^^

Thanks for introducing me to Death Dance (feat. Halyn) - Luftmensch!!!

Incredible! At such a young age. So proficient/skillful with courage. To be very proud of, Emma! And what a lot of work - the filming to go with it. And afterwards the making of de video's 😮 So encouraging to see. Thanks for that. Nineke (the Netherlands).

EMMA! Are you building a houseboat?! That L👀Ks just like a houseboat! So cool. 😎 Can I live on your houseboat? I mean, will it be for rent? Maybe you will build a whole fleet of houseboats. 🤔 ok, now I'm getting carried away. But, I could swear ur building a houseboat! 🤭 👁👁 Captain Emma! 👩‍✈️👍

Really enjoying the channel and the way you approach each element of the build. I think that once you have finished the boat, you will be contemplating the next project because you are challenging yourself at every point and you wilbe needing more. I wouldnt be suprised if you already contemplating on what you want to do next after a few months on the water. Love the channel very much and your determination is infectious. stay safe J.

Loving this project. There’s a clamp that holds pieces of wood or other material at 90°. It may be useful or after the fact but in the event that it could be useful, they’re inexpensive. It is great especially when working alone.

Emma will you seal the inside of the hull with epoxy or paint? Rainwater is your enemy

Thanks for taking my call.

My Brother in law built a 33 foot sailboat he thought it would take him 10 years it took him 23.lol.

Watched you build Birbie from the start, when you probably had 1000 subs. Through all the building I don't think you Smiled as much as you have been with the boat...Think we can say that you have mastered the power tools and are Very Proud of your work now...Go Emma

Keep up the good work girl.shout out from mt st Helen's

GIRL…………WATCH YOUR LONG HAIR AROUND THE POWER TOOLS….☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

I look forward to seeing your houseboat on the water.

I built Roy’s HB the same. I can suggest some modifications which makes it more liveable, contact me to discuss things -

Boat is really coming together. Can’t wait for the launch day…

Every step is one step closer!!!

I gotta say I am SO impressed by your skills with the woodworking tools. Your abilities are night and day compared to when you were working on Birbie! By the way, I miss your bus.

Emma, sometimes you can bring nice, straight lumber home from the lumber yard, and it will turn wonky while it sits in your shop waiting to be used. This happens because lumber yards are selling lumber too moist. When you get it home, it dries very quickly in our dry Rocky Mountain air, which is far drier than the moist air on the coast where the lumber is milled. To avoid this warping, you need to store your lumber in a way that keeps it flat, and then place heavy stuff on top of it to hold it flat while it dries. If you allow it to dry without being held firmly and flat, it will warp as it slowly dries. It can also continue to warp after you've cut it and assembled it as part of your boat. The longer you keep it flat and let it dry before you use it, the less it will warp in place in your project.

The finish carpenter's maxim: If your miters do not fit, fill them up with glue and shit

It's looking great. It's going to be so cool to be able to camp on a lake!!

👍

It’s “blowing out” as you call it because you’re cutting against the grain of the wood. Stroke the edge of the wood and you will be able to feel the direction of the grain. That’s the direction you should always cut. Then you won’t get the wood splitting or “blowing out”.

YOU ARE GIFTED AND AMAZING PERSON ,I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

Emma, absolutely we can see it. Believe it you have done plenty, you'll probably have that boat built before your friends show up. I bet it's metal shaving lodged in finger, they hurt like heck. Thanks for Sharing... p.s. your a jack of all trades

The energy of youth and unconsciousness do much more than my two higher educations in the field of programming and aircraft engineering! And as in the movie Forrest Gump, they shouted at him, "Run Forrest! Run!", I want to say to you, "Go ahead, Emma! Go!" Respect from Russia! 👋😊👍

Many obstacles, there hasn’t been one that you haven’t gone through yet, looks great.

Wow! I am 74 yo and I surly cannot do what you are doing. I have been following you since your day one building the bus and I must say that your skills really improve through the time! Bravo from Quebec Canada. Keep up the good work young Lady!

You’re doing things just right. If it works, great. Love the progress.

Hahahaha I thought you were talking to me, when you were talking to the deer! 😂😂😂

👍🏻😁❤️ You Rock ! Glad the vision came back. 👍🏻

Love your smile

Well I’m building a bit but yes I’ll take your free ceiling fan. lol. I really hoping you name her Birbie 2.

You kick butt Emma.

Do you think you might have got bitten on your finger by a spider?
