building a boat without ever seeing it
building a boat without ever seeing it
I've been building a large flat bottom boat for about 5 years.
This is the first time it's not covered by a tent.
I also cover how to cover your 3d-prints in brass.

I'm building a big flat-bottom boat from scratch. Some people would say that's a bad idea. I don't agree. This is an attempt to explain why. It's a 26-footer with a beam of 10. Timecodes: 0:00 - Intro 0:40 - Steering 1:45 - Wood stove 2:50 - Sink 3:40 - Hatch 3:55 - Search-light 4:40 - Utro
metal polish + electric toothbrush?
Переглядів 3772 роки тому
I wanted to make a power sander for those hard-to-reach places. I realized that an electric toothbrush gets me very close. This may come in handy cleaning the lines of 3D prints or getting a model ready to accept paint. The polishing pad is an extra bonus. Is this something you might find useful? I'd love to hear about it!

How to build a galley, or perhaps how I build my galley. I'm finally getting started on some interior work aboard the boat Albatross. First up is the galley/helm area. Today I'm making the face frames for the cabinets. I'm going down the traditional path of mortise and tenon joints but with a modern twist. Enjoy!

Counterfeit bronze! Cool!
@dennisdavidek6694 I know right!? Think of all the things you can do!
Nice it resembles a Louisiana lugger
@mudweimer768 Right on! I'm not aware of those. Gonna look them up.
@@miormedia they have the best lines
@@mudweimer768 I looked. Totally agree!
@@mudweimer768Especially those that were built with the round stern.
@@brandonpreatto6893 yes actual sailing luggers that where converted to motorized
really loved this. made me laugh and laugh. In part with the familiarity of your joy magically transforming ideas into reality.
Glad you liked it!
Cool man. I been working on mine everyday. Hope to get away without a tent. Probably will have to build something though.
Nice! Happy to hear you got started! What stage are you at?
@miormedia I'm just finishing the hull. But I'm moving quick at this pace I expect to be done with all the big stuff by the end of Oct. I bought a console for it so I didn't have to make one. I'm on a deadline. I have an annual trip where I meet guys out on an island. Usually I take my small boat but I haven't done maintenance on it in 5 years and it needs some structural repairs. To do that I need to split the upper and lower halves of the hull. Could it make it fine? Probably but it's only slightly more work to finish the big boat. My trip is Dec 6 thru 8th. So I got to move steady and I'll have at least a sea worthy rough draft version to use.
There’s the crow bar! Nope. That’s just the tarp! Where to you get the brass powder?
@AaronBrand You can buy it on Amazon, but the shipping where I live was crazy. So I just took a water coupling to the benchgriner and collected the dust in a cup. Works better than you might think. I had the amount I needed in about 5 minutes. 👍
The algorithm brought me here, so I'm not familiar with your usual stuff, but love the work, the video, all of it. Well done.
@drhoads9 So glag you stumbled upon it. Kind words. Thank you so much. It means a lot and keeps me motivated!
Awesome work! Thank you for sharing these updates! Can't wait to see her sail.
@francoiswagnier6148 thanks for the support Francois! Stay tuned!
It's good to see you back. I can see why you would want to just look at Albatross before covering her up again. What beautiful lines. You've done an amazing job. Looking forward to seeing more in the future. Take care and have a good week ahead.
@mattevans-koch9353 Thanks Matt! Your support keeps me motivated. Always good to hear from you!
Well done ! What fun to build and design a boat! Love the look! Cheers warren
Thanks Warren! It's been great fun so far. I can't wait to get her into the water. Thanks for watching!
Super clever with the brazz and the what not. Gotta get me some abs.
Thanks Mattias! Yeah it's really quick and easy to do too. Make sure to tell me if you try it. Good luck!
Great Job!! Kudos for doing something awesome. I could never build a boat from scratch.
Thanks Jenifer! Such kind words!

Hi, nice boat and project. Lots of progress. One question: What is your purpose of having so much open deck rather than making the enclosed space (cabin) larger?
Kind words, thanks! and a great question! Boating most of my life I put a great deal of thought into what I want. At least what I think I want. A cabin were I don't have to crawl anywhere. A cabin that I can walk around. It's so frustrating when you can't reach every part of your gunwale in harsh weather. An open deck is worth so much more then cabin space to me. I want to sleep in the cabin and steer from the cabin when it's raining. The big open deck can be modified to accommodate any situation. Lot's of comfy seating or even a full sized camping tent if needed. I've realized over that my needs change all the time. With this configuration I have a lot of options. Luckily I also think aft cabin boats look nice. Everyone is different, this is just me. Thanks for watching!
I love the music. Who is it?
Thanks! I did it myself. Glad you like it 😊
@@miormedia Right on! Where can I hear more of your music?
@ethankingcole The songs are currently only in my videos, so you'll have to watch them all.😉 I might put them up on UA-cam if people are interested. Thanks again!
Sir Is there any pictures of how you did the bottom of the first boat? And if there is then is there anyway you would be willing to share them and send them to me? I'm just doing the exact same thing you did to the first boat and I'm trying to decide on how I'm gonna go about doing it. Thank you.
Cool! The first boat wasn't very well documented. I cut away the bottom with an angle-grinder. Put the top part of the hull the right side up on a flat surface coated in mould release. Then I simply did a glasfiber lamination against that surface and overlapping the hull around 20 centimeters. It did not turn out pretty but it worked very well. Talking to other boat owners on the lake, not a single person ever noticed that half of the hull was missing:) Good luck! I hope to see pictures/videos!
@miormedia thanks for getting back. I have half been thinking of doing it that way myself. Way, I see it. I can do it a number of ways that will work, especially since the boat was headed for the junk yard. Since it was essentially a free junk hull, nothing I do is gonna make it worse.
@adamtedder1012 That's a great situation. There's no pressure, and everything you do to it is making it better.
@miormedia exactly. I'll definitely post up something on it, maybe under a different channel. I shitpost with this one and occasionally get put in youtube jail. The ahole in me can't help myself.
Id love to see more about the first boat.
Cheers from Brazil🇧🇷👍
Just found your channel. I have the same lathe, brought in 1982, i have had the motor rewound, and i use large 'O' rings for drive bands, they work very well, and are easy to source
Welcome to Mior Jeff! Great tip! It's a lovely little machine. I think I'm going to get something bigger though. I feel I'm always trying to make it do things it wasn't built to handle.
@miormedia yes they are very limited, I would Love a bigger , I can not justify 1, more dont I have space,
@@jeffreylord8172 Same here!
Congrats and happy Father's Day.
Hi! What kind of lymber did you used?
I used pine, 95x95x700mm. I'm very happy with those dimensions.
Did you only jack the two sides length wise? Or did you jack all sides?
I jacked all the sides. The long side jacks until i reached 100mm. Tilting the house side to side, I made sure the short side jacks and the "under the house-jacks" kept up by eye.
This was awesome! Thankyou for sharing the build!
I love it, wish it would have been longer (the video, not the boat). Hejja!
Haha🥰thanks! Tack!
There is a rule of thumb; take the smallest boat you like, and buy one a foot shorter. That last one will become the boat you will use the most. Well, I guess sometimes you just have to build a larger one. Very nice video, I was a bit fearfull in the beginning of the video that this would be one of those amaturistic videos about an amaturistic boat but it turns out to be not at all. I quite like the idea principle, the boats lines but above all that its apearence is in balance. Not build clumsy but also not too fancy. Just an honnest boat, like those fishing vessels. Many happy sailinghours!!
Thanks! Very kind words. I'm glad you get what trying to accomplish.❤️👍
Watching this video was very relaxing also my father use to own boats very similar to what your building when i have enough money i plan to buy a old boat sort of like yours .I like your design good luck
Battery flat top fast
@4:45 Congratulations 🤗
THANK YOU
This is a very practical boat, with its flat bottom and ample beam. You have a good eye for a beautiful sheer line and those lovely curved topsides. That 'after' pilot house looks great and again it's very practical. I started building flat bottomed boats in 1973 and just finished restoring one I built 38 years ago. I'd say you've done a great job!!
Thanks Mark! Such kind words. I hear you get what I'm striving for. I've really enjoyed the process of combining practicality with beauty. The fact that someone with your experience believes in my design gives me alot of hope and energy going forward. Have a great day!
Thank you for the update, she’s really coming along nicely. And a special congratulations 🎈 🍾 on the birth of your son. That’s definitely not life getting in the way, that’s your son giving you life meaning. I’m happy for all of y’all. Great video, will be ready for the next on. Thank you
I am humbled and moved by your kind words. Like you said, he definitely has given everything a whole new meaning to everything. I'm glad you've joined our journey! Stay tuned for more. Thank you
@@miormedia you bet. I’ll be looking forward to the next one. Good luck
Music credit?
Glad you like it. I made it.👍😊
Your design is very original and your work is so professional. Very happy to be a subscriber.
Thanks Robb! That's kind of you to say. Welcome to my world ❤️
I love the music and the boat. I subscribe and I'm going to go watch the update.
Glad you like it Robb! Making music for my channel is one of my greatest pleasures. Have a great day!
Thank you for the update. It is good to see you are still making progress. Life does seem to redirect our plans every now and then, but that is what makes it interesting. Congratulations on the birth of your son. Best wishes for a wonderful week.
Thanks Matt for all the support! You always keep me motivated with your kindness. Best wishes, you too!
You are great at this UA-cam thing :) Crazy you only have a little over 600 subs.. You deserve a whole lot more ! How is the boat doing these days ?
Thanks! Kind words! Life has stood in the way for a while but the boat has made progress and a video is coming :) Tune in! Thanks again❤
Any updates on this project?
Update out today!
I wish you would have shown the process of setting the posts and the jack.
A more detailed video is coming up! Stay tuned!
Great job on laminating those beams. Hats off to you. Texas
So impressed with the way you were thinking out of the box. I’ve had similar ideas, but since I’m disabled it’s difficult to get the help I would need. But, I’m not giving up yet, and one day I will build my flat bottom boat. I’m glad I found your channel. The boat looks amazing. Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m looking forward to learning something different. Texas
Kind words. So happy you enjoyed it! You've inspired me to keep on going with Albatross. Best of luck with your boat project. I know you can do it. I hope I get to see a video! ❤🚢

It'd be great to sail a 40ft live-aboard boat [w/bow center board] with a hull so thick/resilient i could crash over any rocks [under 12knots] without sinking/severely damaging the boat.i'd just carry a dingy/big anchor/winch and drag myself off of whatever i might get beached on. my thought was having 15 cheap, 10" diameter detachable [bolted laterally], treated logs as a sturdy bottom set below durable 6" of foam as a hull. ... essentially ... a solar sailing barge with an powerful electric motor. .... OR ... Rig sails [cabin et al] on a WW2 (LCVP) Landing Craft - Higgins Boat ... ua-cam.com/video/hde7OVJKdgg/v-deo.html
I need to do this to my off grid 20'x20' cabin - how did you pour the concrete under the house?
I poured the concrete 8 inches shy of the total height then i put a cinder block in the gap.
What do you call the type of siding that is on your house? Thanks
I'm not sure what you would call it. It's one of the most common sidings in the Scandinavian countries. Spruce planks with a two inch "lid". It's treated with ferrous sulfate. Gives it a weathered look and keeps moss and algies away to some extent.
It’s called board and batten.
This is truly inspired! I've seen cordless toothbrushes adapted for lockpicking, but never into something this clever.
What a wonderful miniature lathe, extremely useful too! Your idea of printing out a drive belt was truly inspired.
Thanks Felix! That lathe has been so useful. I'm no machinist.. the small scale sure makes it less scary to use. Thanks for watching!
What interesting ideas and marvellous skills you have, and kindness in sharing them for viewers, thank you. I love your drop keel, bow thruster idea, which isn't something I've heard of before. The lines of your boat are classically beautiful, and the cabin is gorgeous. Its an honour to be able to follow your beautiful and inspiring build.
Thanks Felix! Such kind words. It's people like you who keep me going. Stay tuned for more:)
Great mechanism! Question: Can we hit the ball using wooden link only? To get better output, we can alter motor speed right? Plz answer🙏🏻
Thanks! I'm sure that would work fine. I only did it this way cause I thought it was funny. Be sure to share a link if you film it!
Brilliant job with the little emco. I love the music in this video... where can I find it?
Thanks! So kind of you to say. I actually made the music for this video. So the only way to hear more of it is to watch my videos. 😊
