Dear scarletbegonias. 👍👌👏 I wanted to comment similar but fortunately you already did all the writing work. 😁 ;-) 2) The mother in law should definitely be mentioned too because Maya has at least 50% of her gens and she is a great host. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Magic Carpet 2 is getting the beauty of a clasic yacht with a lot of new concepts and materials, added with a very high level of craftmanship... With the GOOD MUSIC, I only have to imagine smelling the nice mix... Thank you very much!!!!
Maya; your pop is a cool dude! You can tell he’s a great mentor and teacher. I’d be honored to learn from him. You guys are going to have a wonderful boat when you are done.
Love the music on this segment, especially the blues piece at the end. My day was sort of funky up until that point. Now i’ve got a big smile on my face! Your boat is coming along so beautifully and your weekly sharing is something I look forward to. Thank you to the two of you and your family as well.
Aladino, your resolution of how you decided on the application of the eyebrow is very creative. Looking forward to seeing how you apply those creative skills to the design and placement of your running rigging.
The attention to detail is not only in the preparation but extends to seemingly simple tasks such as adding the eyebrows. The care to attach without making big screwholes, takes a lot more time, but who likes leaks in the future. Preventing leaks to those new beams etc. is important.
Must be so great after all the hard effort and kind of invisible work to see the boat bit by bit been reborn in her natural beauty!! It will be one out of a thousends. Really amazing with how much perfection this boat is build up again. So curious to see the final result. Respect for the both of you 😊
It's always great to see Dad! Love when the two guys start talking shop, I mean Engines and what drives them! Maya, great job on the beams, everything is coming together nicely!!! Great video with great music! Thank you for bringing us along!
Watched this twice, couldn't really pay full attention because I was making dinner, but then popped it in the oven, followed your initial advice, poured myself a drink and sat down watching this properly. Thanks for making my fridays, well, my fridays, for a few years now.
You both have such an incredible amount of integrity to details that many would slide over. It’s is a joy to watch you every week. When you get water born the rebuild will be missed; however, your personalities and character vibe is what gets me here and will keep me long after the work project is over.
Every time I've replaced a cutlass bearing, I've left about 1/2" protruding from the shaft tube. Next time you (or whoever) needs to replace it you simply release the set screws (which they apparently did not used) and using a vice grip or channel lock pliers spin the bearing out. I've never had a problem with the small amount of exposed bearing. And it certainly simplifies what can be a challenging task with the shaft in place.
Should be an interference fit and not come out without a puller and not the tiny makeshift one he used. That said I've only done one boat bearing and mostly bearings on land based machinery where a tight fit is critical and the insides are not rubber with water providing a buffer.. How often are you replacing yours and have you had any issues with the tube hogging out and becoming tapered? On the 9ne I did this was f9r sure an issue.
The music selection on your videos is always terrific, but this week was especially fantastic!! I would never have thought the pieces you chose would fit on a boatbuilding video, lol, but it was just delightful and perfect! And reflects the joy I can see in both of you with the way things are progressing with the boat.
sorry i have missed a few episodes and finally remembered name of your channel after losing my previous laptop and having no access to my browser history, its been pretty mental, but i'm back under a new name as i also can't access my Google account, (i hate Google, they have made signing in harder than signing into my own bank account), but i am here to binge watch the last episodes and catch up (don't think i have missed anything) and WOW the upper deck is looking amazing, like a high quality bath tub so white and shiny, that's not dissing your work Aladdino, it is top notch quality and so is Maya's varnishing making wood look sexier than it did when it was a tree, stunning stunning! good to see your dad still helping out too, keeping his hand in
Absolutely love the music, great choice, but of course Aladino the perfectionist doing what he does best, plus Brian sharing his wisdom and expertise 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Watching you guys create such an item of pure beauty is the most inspiring thing as I have also begun small tasks around my living space with the same loving attitude and attempts at excellence that I take from you. I am hoping that eventually it will also please me as much as Magic Carpet will be a wonderful pleasure to live in. Thank you both!
Pop-a-Top! good idea! This boat, the videos, and you two, are going to go down in history! can't wait to see those deck hatches all varnished. up! And a set of White Wings. And the best part is, we not only get to watch you build your boat, but you also take us sailing with you, how cool is that! Fridays have been my favorite day of the week for quite some time now. Carry ON Mates!
The boat is really looking amazing! Really like the way you installed the eyebrows, they are always a source of leaks when installed with screws in the usual way. Glad Mack Boring stepped up and helped you with the Aqua Drive. Really great set up to have, which will also prolong the life of your reduction gear by reducing wear on bearings and seals. As always Maya's varnish and paint work is art in and of itself
This continues to be the most satisfying channel I watch. You both are artists in your own ways and you are bringing it all together. Thank you for the music, the vision for fine boat restoration, and your collective care for quality and precision.
Just a note for the unsung hero of this video and millions of finish carpentry projects across the globe: the reversible quick clamp. Let's hear it for the little guy!
The cabin front with its 90 degrees angle is rather boxy. Therefore it was an excellent idea of yours, Aladino, to install the 'eyebrow', in order to visually break it up a bit; Chapeau 🎩
Keep it up, you guys are doing so great! For future reference, a couple of guides and a router would remove the raised parts on the bowsprit in minutes and bring the entire thing to one clean level. I'm so excited that this thing is moving along with such energy right now. You guys are really inspiring.
I am glad you are young and flexible and able to fit back in that corner of the engine room. If it was dependent on me, you would be attaching an outboard motor! 😂 Great to see progress to mechanical tasks.
Ho guys ..To remove a cutlass bearing I use a hacksaw blade and make 3 cuts in thirds along its length and then use a chisel to break out the old bearing and glue the new one in ...I rarely use a puller to remove it ,i've even used a sawsall very carefully with a fine blade ..comes out easy ...cheers Graham. master shipwright from Australia ..
Fun fact. Back in the days cabin tops were made out of cloth and they used what you called “the eyebrow” to nail them on the cabin sides, to spread the loads and avoid tearing out the cloth
Correct except for one thing. The structure would have been made of wood, and just covered in thick, coarse woven canvas. After it was fastened down with the battens around the edge, they would liberally paint over the canvas with oil based, often leaded paint that would protect everything and help keep the canvas stuck to the roof. This also served as a primitive non-skid surface.
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, a lot of progress happened in this video. Congratulations! 🎉 Extremely well done again and as always (video and work). The music is great too. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Great work and very nice way of attaching the teak to the cabin without using screws or through bolts. If you have future similar tasks you could try using 3M VHB tape. It is used to hold large windows in skyscrapers and to hold enclosed trailer panels together rather than rivets. I used it to install non-opening portlights / deadlights during a refit of our older sailboat and it is very strong. i also ran a bead of Dow 795 around the edges as welll and have had now leaks and they look great. Best of luck! We enjoy the channel !
I've been following since the bulwark disappointment im really lokking forward to the finished product and look at the comparison meticulous work guys !
Deano what a job your doing fantastic an Brian such a clear explanation of what your doing a fantastic teacher an a master at his craft so lucky the project has your father miya the interior looks so good that woodwork sets it right off girl a lovely job you have done look forward to next weeks episode 😍👍🇬🇧
You are a master crafsman Alidino, I always enjoy your vids. I was a patreon for you a while ago, but my personal circumstances changed, keep up the amazing work both of you!
Always so impressed with your level of craftsman's ship, truly a lost art form. I was concerned as you were moving your thrust retainer position and it's relationship to the prop location...then I realized you can still trim the shaft length if required. Why, I watched Sam Holmes Sailing site and his " Big Expense" a few moths ago in the Greece of his Cape Dory 28 ( An East Coast made boat not the same fabricator?) The Prop shaft was too long and with a hard rudder over he bent his prop, that was a disaster waiting to happen, would never think not to Hard Rudder over if required.
That is typical Sam. Cape Dorys are wonderful boats. We came close to buying a 28, but the same yard had a 27 that was beautiful and ready to sail away.
More nice work on the refit - great engineering and that varnish is looking particularly fine. A couple of questions: What was the old blues music (Bad news blues?) playing while Aladino was working on the bowsprit. How do you store a violin on board in that moist salty air? We'll need to be able to do this once our refit (much less extensive than yours) is complete.
How to beautify this boat... Let's install a thrust bulkhead ;) Jokes aside, the variety of jobs was a pleasure to watch. And I especially liked the technicalities of the propeller shaft and its bearing.
I'm sitting and checking what I have to do to my little Hyrley 22, the problem is it slipped down the girder and hit the SB above the waterline and the keel. Now it takes in water. As over 65, I have followed you and will follow you, but it is possibly kaput wishes
the boat is looking great. Will you guys be sailing on the Atlantic some time. ? I'm in Florida, be nice to see you sailing there. I have an old boat I am getting ready to sail some.
I’ve always been told to make final adjustments on shaft alignment in the water as boat may sit differently. With that in mind Will you add any system for adjustment to the thrust bearing that you attaching to the new rear bulk head or do you feel it’s to short a distance to be a problem ? Loving the thought and quality that’s in the refit so far, can’t wait to see her under sail in The future
That is a good point to consider. But I feel like it also depends from boat to boat. The section and beefiness of the hull together with the short length of shaft doesn’t make me worry about movement at all. 🤞🏽 U shaped hulls could definitely flex more
Aladino you definitely married into the right family, the girl has got it all and her father is a real gem.
Dear scarletbegonias.
👍👌👏 I wanted to comment similar but fortunately you already did all the writing work. 😁 ;-) 2) The mother in law should definitely be mentioned too because Maya has at least 50% of her gens and she is a great host.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Sorry to hear about your father. Hope for a speedy recovery. He's a really nice man. Love to all of you
The Sea is calling louder and louder with each episode!
Yes, it's clear the boat will be beautiful. And the happy-clappy blues music put an extra smile on my face
Magic Carpet 2 is getting the beauty of a clasic yacht with a lot of new concepts and materials, added with a very high level of craftmanship...
With the GOOD MUSIC, I only have to imagine smelling the nice mix...
Thank you very much!!!!

Thank you, guys, as always. Awesome installment and loved the music. Also always great to see Brian!
The music choices in this week’s video is just beautiful! Aladino’s request for me to sit with a beverage was definitely an excellent idea.
Love the music on this segment, especially the blues piece at the end. My day was sort of funky up until that point. Now i’ve got a big smile on my face!

The boat is coming together beautifully! We love the lightness of the inside of the boat. Namaste. 🙏
It's always great to see Dad! Love when the two guys start talking shop, I mean Engines and what drives them! Maya, great job on the beams, everything is coming together nicely!!! Great video with great music! Thank you for bringing us along!

I always leave a bit out to get a grip on later, works well 😊

I usually have a tea with your videos. Today I had a Caribian painkiller, then the music came on, and it all came together.
The craftsmanship is beyond approach guys & the music is absolutely wonderful. The boat is better than new!!!😊

Boat work and the Blues! It just doesn’t get any better.
Aladino used the word "success" before the cutlass bearing was fully in place. MY GAWD man! Where is the necessary sailor superstition? :)
The boat is really looking amazing! Really like the way you installed the eyebrows, they are always a source of leaks when installed with screws in the usual way.

i am so impressed by so much you guys do…the eyebrow glue technique was a stroke of true genius!…
It's getting closer to the finish every week. Loved the music. 🐟
I'm loving the detailed work you both do on this boat. AND, the great background music! Be safe always from the Philippines.
I cannot help it Alodino, I love your work. I built a 52F ketch. You are better than I was (am) Joy to watch.
One of your best episodes. Loved all the different tasks! The jazz was very cool too!!
Loving the soundtrack, happy Easter folks
This was great! Fantastic progress on the cutlass bearing, the eyebrow mounts and accompanied by a great music soundtrack!
Ho guys ..To remove a cutlass bearing I use a hacksaw blade and make 3 cuts in thirds along its length and then use a chisel to break out the old bearing and glue the new one in ...I rarely use a puller to remove it ,i've even used a sawsall very carefully with a fine blade ..comes out easy ...cheers Graham. master shipwright from Australia ..

Looking absolutely gorgeous you are a craftsman and brilliant what you are doing 🛥️
and thanks to you 3 for sharing the refit and journey with the rest of us
Always a pleasure watching your progress, getting so excited for you two, can’t wait to see her in the water!
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, a lot of progress happened in this video. Congratulations! 🎉 Extremely well done again and as always (video and work). The music is great too.
As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.

It’s very relaxing watching quality workmanship , Thanks 😃🍻
Die boot wordt steeds mooier en mooier, nog even doorzetten!!👌👌(Dutch😉)
Aladino,the perfectionist. Absolutely beautiful 😊
Love the meticulous work from both of u … Happy Easter ✝️
So happy for you two!! You are building yourselves an incredibly beautiful boat!
thanks Maya, thanks Aladino, this is so nice to view, you two are doing it you know, looking forward the travels you gonna make ...

Wonderful progress, the thrust bearing is a great idea. Much love from England

Wonderful progress, the thrust bearing is a great idea. Much love from Boston. Be well.
I do admire the dad. Seems like a great guy.
Deano what a job your doing fantastic an Brian such a clear explanation of what your doing a fantastic teacher an a master at his craft so lucky the project has your father miya the interior looks so good that woodwork sets it right off girl a lovely job you have done look forward to next weeks episode 😍👍🇬🇧
Looking good guys another great episode wont be long now and you will be in the water cheers !!
You are a master crafsman Alidino, I always enjoy your vids. I was a patreon for you a while ago, but my personal circumstances changed, keep up the amazing work both of you!
The boat realy takes shape !!!
Congratulation !
Maya must be happy 😊
Greetings from France
aldeno and may you both are master crafters🤩🤩
Thrust bulkhead very interesting. Like that woman singing the blues.
Always a nice adventure to follow
Thank you Aladino. Hope I spelt that right 😊
Love the freezing cutlass bearing , you take the intimidating level away for diy , thanks
Wow! She's looking fantastic, I really hope you visit the port of Ramsgate with her, fish and chips will be on me! Let me know XX
Always so impressed with your level of craftsman's ship, truly a lost art form.

The Prop shaft was too long and with a hard rudder over he bent his prop, that was a disaster waiting to happen, would never think not to Hard Rudder over if required.
By changing engine and adding the cv joint we automatically are forced to a new prop shaft as well. We can also shorten the old one to have a spare
That is typical Sam. Cape Dorys are wonderful boats. We came close to buying a 28, but the same yard had a 27 that was beautiful and ready to sail away.
Background music suggestion for a future episode while Aladino is working: Solace and Heliotrope Bouquet (both piano slow rags by Scott Joplin)
More nice work on the refit - great engineering and that varnish is looking particularly fine. A couple of questions:
What was the old blues music (Bad news blues?) playing while Aladino was working on the bowsprit.
How do you store a violin on board in that moist salty air? We'll need to be able to do this once our refit (much less extensive than yours) is complete.
I came for a boat update and a jazz concert broke out, but you always have good music 😊
Brilliant side eye brow attachment method. Nice.
Tis a work of art.
Is there insulation on the inside for heat and cold, I may have missed it or you may have a reason why it’s not needed.
How to beautify this boat... Let's install a thrust bulkhead ;) Jokes aside, the variety of jobs was a pleasure to watch. And I especially liked the technicalities of the propeller shaft and its bearing.
Super! Wonderful episode! Thank you for this!
Not sure who is better made for each other: Aladino and Maya or Aladino and Maya's dad! Two peas in a pod, LOL
So close you can taste it!
Most cutlass bearings will have 2 set screws on the outside of the stern tube.. you just dimple the bearing and the screws just hold it in place
Aladino, you are not building a boat to sail. You are building a Work of Art that should go to the Smithsonian!!
Lovely trim work!
Perfection, as always
I'm sitting and checking what I have to do to my little Hyrley 22, the problem is it slipped down the girder and hit the SB above the waterline and the keel. Now it takes in water. As over 65, I have followed you and will follow you, but it is possibly kaput wishes
Hello mate chair man thank you for sharing your story with us 😊
Fantastic music as usual, excellent
the boat is looking great. Will you guys be sailing on the Atlantic some time. ? I'm in Florida, be nice to see you sailing there. I have an old boat I am getting ready to sail some.

Nothin like a good old cool dad !,
🎉love the eyebrows.
1158th looky-loo view about to set sail... 6:45 - chuckle moment of reality: "HA, that's an interesting theory." Yay, Dad! 2.3K+ LIKE posted.
Fascinating videos thank you both. Can I ask why Sikaflex on the brow etc. instead of say.. Epoxy?
Easier to remove if needed when it’s time for a new one, without damaging paint or fiberglass
I'm curious why you didn't use a router on the bowsprit. The thrust-wall is such a clever solution to a problem I never thought of. Who did it first?
Will your bow sprit be permanently fixed, or moveable, either backwards and forwards, or up and down?
You have strong attachments.
HI Don, wht we do not see subtiles again ?
What was the instant glue? CA plus activator? And which Sikaflex was it? tx
And along with those answers can you tell us about the different masking tapes that you are using, Blue vs. yellow?
Very informative.❤
Great video love the music
Love the music!
