My Dream Boat Project
United States
Приєднався 16 лис 2019
Hi, I’m Rene, a 60 something year old Sailor Wanna-B who still has his hair, original teeth and sense of humor… I’m now starting my second childhood, going after my dreams while I still have all three.
#1 on my Bucket List is to ultimately build a Live-Aboard -Yacht before I’m 70 that I can enjoy with my grandchildren, and for extended trips like the Great Loop in the second half of my life.
Boat building is just a “hobby” I’ve developed over the last few years. This channel will be dedicated to:
1. My current build (A 32×11′ Chesapeake Bat Deadrise Cabin Cruiser)
2. Traveling the world on board and off with my Co-Cpt’n.
3. Becoming Self-sufficient and helping others to do so.
4. and enjoying life every step of the way.
In the meantime I’m looking forward to building my boat and meeting lots of great folks just like you.
Welcome Aboard! :-)

EP31: DIY Boat Mold Update - What to do?
I needed to see this. Thank god for your video. Now i can fix my bubbles on my car dask.
Glad I could help :-) Good luck with the car...
Come on Dude! You get us addicted to the Panga build then make us go cold turkey. We need a new video fix..... Just kidding, I've really appreciated your videos and look forward to the next one, Thanks.
lol, still in the works... Too hot for sanding fiberglass and waiting to get moved into my new house. Got a lot more on the horizon to continue your addiction :-)
Hey, I know I am so late in asking this on this thread but, I was wondering on the type of filters that I would need to attach to this mask so that I would be protected against inhaling any strong chemical fumes that a type of glue called “Barge Rubber Cement” is made out of? In addition, wouldn’t the fumes be inhaled through the exhalation area? Thank you!
No idea but I'm sure the labels of the filters will tell you or you can call 3M to ask their pros.
Two holes? Good. Hypodermic needle? Zerk fitting and a grease gun can fill voids in a rotted balsa deck.
Congratulations on making partner!
Thank you so much 😀
Well, Howdy partner.
@ 2:00 Small ranch.
full disclosure I am not a You tube partner. Just a partner in boat mischief.
sorry for the bad, dad puns...... But they are good for the Al Gore Rhythm. :-) I crack myself up.
20 years in auto body- straightened out many a car with that tool. Keep that board close if you want nice lines.
Thanks, it works pretty slick :-) If you want even more experience you can come do mine. lol
@@mydreamboatproject That's ok, I still do it in my sleep!
the thumbnail says "with a circular saw" ...
Yes, that's exactly how I cut it; with a circular saw along the lines I drew..
Fair enough. 🙂
Is it ready for fairing compound? or are you going to add anymore glass or resin?
Once I rough sand it I'm going to put a layer of epoxy and q-cells. Then sand again and paint. May be a while as I'm spending most of my time looking for a new house. Might just finish it there.
That's a lot of work
Sure is, lol
Great job, love this vid
Glad you enjoyed it
Sea biscuit is an awesome canoe!
Thank you very much :-)
My son cruises around campus on a longboard. Are we going to see Rene cruising around Biddeford on his new longboard?
You could make a long board sanding block
That's funny! I just purchased one a few hours ago from Harbor Freight. Works great! lol
@@mydreamboatproject Did you get a straight line air sander from Harbor Freight?
@@mydreamboatproject the happiness joy and excitement of a new tool in hand. Is the worst drug a man can can chase.
Watch for air pockets my friend, it looks like you may have a few there and these create weak spot and less adhesion. Apply resin with a brush (liberally) and get a fin/fibreglass roller to roll the resin thru the glass (dont press too hard though). Good luck, keen to see the finish!
I got more air pockets than I wanted. I'm going to inject under them with resin this afternoon so I can sand them down. I learned how NOT to do it next time. Learning experiences all the time. :-)
@@mydreamboatproject The learning is half the fun! My first boat was a 30 ft power cruiser...memories, well at least I know my poor shoulders remember it :)
Say hello to Raluca and tell her nice work on the mixing cam video. :-)
Will do!
They may be hot but, but getting some of those Tyvek white onesies may be worth while.... especially during sanding. My son Leif calls coveralls onesies. I have been trying to get him to wear them more often.
Woo Hooo, Rene is on the TUBE!
That idea works great - one suggestion is to use a "few" 1/8" dowels as pins (say 5 in a 2x1x2 pattern) . Makes it a LOT stronger and no movement when drying or under stress. Even toothpicks will work.
Nice job! I just uploaded a new video of my Spira Robalo Panga😊
I will check it out. Thanks :-)
Is the 6502 mask with the quick latch just as comfortable as the 7502? Do they both use silicone for the mouth piece?
I don't know. I only have the one.
So, because you can't remove the riving knife, you wouldn't be able to make a crosscut sled. Hmmm. Don't know if I like that. But for ripping this would be a good little saw.
Is the 3m 7500 series also have a quick latch?
No idea. it was a while since I purchased this. It will say quick-latch in the ad if it has it.
NICE!!!!!!!!! tx for sharing!!! :D
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for giving me a little chuckle this morning. I've broken most of your commandments and learned the hard way over the years.
You are so welcome! I can't forgive you for breaking the commandments though ;-)
Your not alone. Glass is kick my a** too! Getting it done though.
So much fun right? lol
Did you have to go to mountain to get that tablet?
Katahdin?
Yep :-)
good to see it was warm enough to glass up there in the North woods.
I used the cold weather hardener #105 which workds great at 50-55 degrees.
Yo lo usado y no me arrepiento..se convierte en piedra plástica
Yes, it really works great. Thanks :-)
Long strokes with sander, or you will be sanding forever.
I use electric sanders.
Boat is looking good!
Thank you. Went down today to start fiber-glassing in the sun and suddenly it started pouring lol. Anxious to get started...
Good luck with the stressful, sticky race vs. the epoxy.
Should be interesting... :-)
Rene is BACK!
Hi Jeff, good to see you here again... :-)
Hope all is well! Looking forward to your next video!
Hopefully I'll be getting back to it soon. Thanks :-)
35$!! Inflation to these things up to 65-70$ now I'll still buy one though
How much room did you leave for the wedges? I know they are an inch high
A little smaller than the width of two wedges. Remember you're pushing the wedges in towards each other so the space doesn't really matter as long as the wedges are large enough to make a very tight fit.
Thanks for sharing. I am building a different boat. But the wooden knobs on the outrigger is a great idea. Wood on wood looks great and does not grind as metal on wood would. The size also means its easy to fasten without tools. And its easier to make some sort of locking mechanism so they wont turn. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I would say as long as you keep it dry, and treat it with bleach It should be good and stay solid until you’re ready to finish it I would not use kills. It seems like it would be a little much maybe as a last resort if bleach siding work
Thank you. :-)
Roy your an inspiration for sure. I love the Diana rose and the new mini your building. I love water and nature and want to be able to live nomadic in a boat with my wife when the kids leave the nest and I have dreamed of building a house boat for a while. Watching your videos truly makes me believe that I can do it myself. I have a lot of woodworking tools, but no boat making tools. I was wondering if you knew of any specialty tool that was hard starting out or anything that you needed that the average woodworker would not have. I am by no means a Carpenter, more of a diyer/handyman but what was the most difficult thing about learning how to make boats from being a carpenter?
Where can I buy that furring strip under the black lead ducks please
I have no idea, that's just a picture I found online to show what other ones look line. Mine is just a piece of wood hanging around the shop...
Hey Rene - I wouldnt mix the resins. 2:1 ratio is a lot stiffer than a 5:1 mix. The latter is preferred for boat building as it gives more flexibility in the when it takes the load. Where as the former is stronger but more brittle. As for measuring your mixtures - I found using a kitchen scale worked best. Ie 100g resin and then add 20g of hardner
Thanks, I went out and purchased the resin measuring cups that you can see through so that would work fine. I'll Use the West system and leave the other stuff for a smaller project by itself.
Hey Reine, I'm working on a Spira Tillamook right now and built a Glen L drifter in the winter in Utah. The best thing I found to do is put a space heater or two under the boat after epoxy work and leave it over night or at least for a few hours. Helps get the epoxy to go off faster. Heat will radiate through the hull for your fiberglass lamination too. I left mine on before and after the I did the fiberglass and it helped out quite a bit.
Sounds great, thanks for the tips. It was 45 degrees here today so it's not so bad. :-) Do you have videos or pics of your builds?
Lots of good ideas and tips
Glad you think so! Thanks for visiting.
it is pronounce paan-ga. I was designed by Yamaha as part world bank project to help fishermen in the developing world. It was named after the Swahili word for machete. Anyway, boat looks gorgeous.
Thanks. That would explain the sharp entry like a machete... :-)
Looks amazing! BestRoy
Hi Roy, thanks. Yes it's moving pretty well and having fun building it
She has a nice slice of an entry!!! @mydreamboatproject
Yes, she is small but should be great for ocean fishing which is what I need over here.
Coming along fairLee quick!
Thanks Jeff - I see the play with the words lol
Absolute brilliant sinplicity. I wanted to add a rudder to this Intex Seahawk 4 w homemade lantern sail & thought of copying the rudder on my 81 Hobie Cat 16 but those things are really complex. This is perfect & I haveveverything at hand already except spar varnish. Thank, You saved the day. Great to the point video. Greetings from Texas. ling Tor.
Glad is was helpful. Good luck with your project.
Great review, the best I have seen. In use with specs, headlight and eye protection AND telling us what size of mask was in use. Top man. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for visiting :-)
The house I have been living since 2016 was built in 1920. It is semi attached. On the side that it is attached my second floor joists and my neighbors second floor Joists share a bearing over a common party wall .the party wall is 2x4 with 2 top plates . Over that the 2 joists are not lap spliced . Instead the joists from each house line in the same plane . I didn’t take enough pictures when the Sheetrock was open in 2016 . Now I am researching what may be happening at that splice .. your video brings me a step closer !
Glad I could help. Good luck.
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
