Im really glad this video was randomly suggested to me... Ive been wondering how to go about getting rid of butt blocks on my old boat, and this showed me exactly what to do! Thanks! I'd love to see details on the router jig so i can make something similar. Cheers from an amateur boatwright on the Cape!
A National Historic Landmark and Museum . . . . I watched this twice and only counted four (4) fire extinguishers. (at least that's all that I could see) And don't get me started on the doors being blocked shut, where you had those kids working. You know what they say about "An Ounce of Prevention". Stop and think about this . . . .
Thanks for keeping an eye out, Steven, but you’ve seen very little of the shop here and we trust our inspectors, insurance folk, and local fire marshall who cherish this place as much as we do. Maybe your comment was made with the spirit of care, but it also smacks of an assumption that we would (or even could) lack care for these people and this place. Hope your day goes better, thanks for watching.
What you can't really see in the video is the dry sprinkler system installed a few years ago. The system is designed to put out fires anywhere in the building. Pipes run all over with sprinkler heads spaced according to building codes. Most of the shop isn't heated, so the pipes are charged with nitrogen ( hence dry, wont freeze) until a head is activated. Then a valve at the street fills the system with water. The fire extinguishers you see supplement that.
That's a nice shop! Lots of natural light! You even have a dog!
I've been meaning to get up to the shop. Not yet, but I will. Got my sticker too... Cheers, T
That boat is looking good
