Boat Project - making and installing the propane locker
Переглядів 3824 місяці тому
In this boat video episode I make a foam and carbon fiber propane locker since the cockpit is still so accessible. Next we have to figure out the steering system including rudder placement, pedestal, and making a mold for the cockpit floor.
Touring the world's best sail loft

I was lucky enough to get a full tour of North Sails in Minden, Nevada! Check out how they turn raw fiber into perfectly 3-dimensional sails that power everything from America's Cup foiling monohulls to every kind of cruising boat out there.
Making custom tool cases for KC TOOL
Переглядів 5014 місяці тому
I was stoked for the opportunity to work with KC Tool to develop and make these tool rolls for a primo homeowner tool kit. Everything they sell is made in Germany, so you know the tools are all about as good as it gets. While editing I decided it'd be nice if I just shut up for a while and not have any music either, a little #ASMR vibe! You can buy this limited release tool kit at www.kctool.co...

No music or editing on this one - just thought I'd give a tour of the project as it stands now - although I've already glued in the step since this morning when I shot this.

That's a rad looking backpack! Would be cool if you could showcase example load outs on the three different size drop-liner backpacks in a future video. Ta!
Cool idea! Thank you!
Hello, I really like your channel where you show how you make bags and work on your boat. Does this sling have a key clip in it? BTW, you made me a custom, large drop liner backpack in 2015, and I travelled to Ethiopia with it. Still have the backpack, but don't use it every day as it is large, but I love it! It's good for travelling or hiking. I also liked how you sent the backpack with custom beer coasters that said Truce Designs instead of including stickers like many other companies do. (I've no use for stickers, but coasters are always useful. It's also extra fun when they are from an indie maker like yourself.
Thank you so much! Oh yeah that was back in the day, I ran out of coasters quite a while ago but maybe I should order some more! Yes the Sling does have a key clip in it!
Excellent, I might have to order one... 😊
Yo ✌️
Glad you're upbeat about it. Good to know what's going on with you. That boat is going to be pretty impressive once done.
heyyy i made that super pacific light @7:10 !!
Oh awesome!!
good vibes!!
really nice design..another problem with mesh pockets is that they snag.
Truce is a hidden gem in this world of diy. Keep 'em coming bro! Thank you for your much needed insight and expertise.
Thank you!!! I'll keep 'em coming!
Owner, Company, and it’s product are all a 10+! I own this bag and it’s my last backpack I will ever own. I bought it to take on sailboat deliveries and to use for work when I run snorkeling day charters in the USVI. It is invaluable and because it’s from Truce it can be repaired and or upgraded as time passes. It’s the perfect size in medium. Now I got in to adventuring motorcycling and I am taking it on a four day BDR off road group ride. If you are considering one of these, I can 100% recommend Truce and Luke. I have never met Luke, but I have spoken with him on the phone and he is the real deal. His product quality is over and above anything I have seen in the backpack world. Any product that has the Truce name on it is hand made and no doubt has to meet his very high standards. Capt. Mike Conforti
Thank you Mike, that means a lot to me!!
Thanks for the tour of Super Pacific. Definitely well made - Unlike most RVs out there. Non rusting materials is a win-win for our weather.
Thank you! Absolutely, they treat their materials well!
Super interesting to see the thinking behind the design decisions, etc. Made want to check out your bags right after watching the video!
Awesome! Thank you!
Center Velcro divider could always be an option.
Totally! Modular interior organization!
Do you sell the fabric? I am interested in the Sparta Kevlar. I make large origami structures and I am seeking stiff materials tear proof materials.
Unfortunately not, I barely have any of that Sparta left - I do have a ton of B-grade sailcloth that might work but I would only call it tear resistant, not tear proof. Shoot me an email luke(at)trucedesigns.com if you want to chat more!
Can’t wait for the pattern love the idea of zipper on the pass thru pocket, going to use that on other bags
Heck yeah!
cool t-shirt. Nice bag! Good for carry on with toiletries or anything that might leak.
Luke, great toolkit bag. Well designed and seems it going to last a long long time! That waterjet is pretty awesome.
Amazing process, nice to have a viewing!
Amazing and not a palm and needle in sight.
Looks exceedingly expensive.
The irony of being based in the driest state in America.......☺
Love the content,DISLIKE the "music".
Nice tour; Lowell North would be proud. The evolution of fabric, yarn and shape is astonishing; I am old enough to remember sailing with canvas genoas, then dacron, to spectra, to kevlar, to cuben fiber right out of America 3, then carbon strands, but the game changer was North's 3Di technology, which we just saw here. Prior, sails were laid out and cut on flat loft floor vs a perfectly shaped mold.
Thank you!! Totally agree, the 3Di is crazy cool!
3DL was the original molded concept. 3Di came much later.
@@sbrunner69 Yes, I meant 3DL, sailed many miles with first gen 3DLs and they were a quantum leap forward IMO.
So cool that they gave you that tour. Almost 40 years ago, I used to work for a hang gliding manufacturer (Pacific Airwave/Windcraft) and our own sail loft developed and made those pretty traditional hang gliding harnesses that the guys using to move around over the sails.
Whoa that's awesome! I hadn't thought about it but yeah they totally do like like hang gliding harnesses!
Pretty impressive to put it mildly. That is incredible. Great video. Thanks for taking us along! Did you snag any remnants while there? ;-p
You bet I did! Grabbed some scrap out of the bins and made some stuff (pictured on the Instagram account) but I'm working on getting more!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I have see your all video I like your video
Very informative and well documented video!! Love your channel.
Thanks so much!
Please make playlist for nouka
Luke, another hit song. What a rad waterjet!
thank you! that watermen is so awesome for sure
Repairing an old backpack instead of replacing it is preferable because of its history. Good video! It's now prepared to create a great many more
Another banger Luke. That waterjet is rad!
Thanks Dan! Yeah that thing rules!!
wow
😍😍😍😍
Amazing video
Your videos are very nice
Thank you so much 😀
very beautiful video
awesome video
Thanks!
The videos of your channel are really appreciated
I appreciate that!
nice video
Your skill level is blowing up! that great❤❤❤❤
thank you!!
wow
so beautiful
Awesome video
I am new to your channel, I like your videos, so I subscribed
It’s going to be a beautiful floating home.
thank you, I hope so!
Your work is very beautiful
Just curious... was it more expensive to repair ( Renew😊) than to just buy a similar one? Seems like a lot of time went into it to "undo", recut some worn out parts and then finally resew it up again. All new stitching:) Very informative and well documented video!! Love your channel.
Thank you!! Great question - it would be cheaper and faster to build a new pack without spending all the time on taking things apart but I do like being able to salvage and reuse all the parts that still have plenty of life in them. And especially when customers are attached to their bags, I'm happy to do a full refresh like this!
Yes I agree if I had an item for that long and went everywhere with it... it would in a way be quite valuable from all the travels and history behind it. Awesome job !! I love those fiberglass batons. Where can i buy an item like that but longer for a different purpsoe?
@@Sokozi Those are from RBS in Hood River - but any marina where sailboats are might be a good place to start looking, especially if someone is getting rid of an old mainsail
Your skill level is blowing up!
thank you!
what is your thought process behing placing heavy ass water tank under the dorward birth? That is a good boat, but what you are doin with it is...questionable to say the least, will watch purely for masochistic reasons.
This is counterintuitive, you get a racer which is built to be lightweight and one of the first thing you do to it is teating off glaased in tanks and plan to replace them with steel ones, those are really heavy, at least consider building them in glass\carbon ot something, otherwise going in that direction you either will lose most of speed characteristics or wont be able to carry most of stuff you want. Personally-id jusr pop those tanks open, sanded them, applied new epoxy and then seal back, because it all was probably calculated at the design stage, epoxy is safe, it is not hygroscopic like other resins.
yep we're making changes that will make it a bit slower / cruisier, it'll be a bit slower in the end but we want to live on it - kind of a smaller version of what the Duracell Project is doing, but in our case it was built as a racer/cruiser, not purely for racing. We want more space for water so a small tank up front to balance out the weight we add to the back might be the way to go. Definitely trying to keep weight down regardless, but still want it to be comfortable
