You guys are putting a hundred pyschologists out of work. There is a great beauty in your work and a serenity about the presentation that is joyful to watch. The shame is that the boat will one day be finished!
@@jonsealwoodturning4673went through a lot of careers, owned companies made a good living, but ill health afforded me the time to return to my trade of joiner/boatbuilder. Atrade that I'd left to join the Army 4 decades prior big money just as soon as my apprenticeship ended.. The biggest question I still, have, is why did it take me so long to find satisfaction in a job again.. retired a decadev ago.. but still have my hand tools and most of my heavy tools.
From Canada. I always look forward to new episodes of Two Blokes Build a Boat. It is interesting and often amuusing. As well, it tells it like it is when it includes mistakes. I thoroughly enjoy it. Keep up the good work.
Wonderful viewing here in Queensland Australia on a wet Saturday evening. Love the skilled woodwork, mate ship and story-telling you blokes provide. As to Trevor; what a story about his days as an apprentice shipwright. A craft to be held close to our hearts. Look forward to the next episode.
Trevor took me back to my apprenticeship at just turned 16 I left school on the Friday and on Monday I was wearing overhauls in a very large factory learning to be a pipefitter welder. I spent a few weeks at the factory making my own tools. Then I was sent to technical college for 48 weeks with no holidays other than bank holidays. We started a zero ground level and was taught every aspect of engineering using every machine you could imagine. The teachers were amazingly clever people and very kind too. I was taught plumbing, electrical installation, sheet metalwork and welding too. To be honest looking back it was a superb course. I was so lucky. Then after another 3 years full on in the workshop it would take too long to tell what I built. At the end of my apprenticeship I went into the drawing office and there was responsible for designing a number of things which I then built one being an enormous plastic acid tank holder with stairs. It saddens me to think that this is not happening now with young people or if it is ,it is rare. At 20 I was told to leave the factory to make way for another apprentice. Then at 20 I was employed as a contract pipefitter with my own labourer a van full of tools travelling all over Lancashire repairing pipework etc in many many large factory's. Could a 20 year old take on that responsibility in these days?? not sure. The boat build is beautiful keep up the good work. I am hoping my wooden boat will be ready for the water in spring.
Love the videos. Everything from the quality of your woodworking, video editing, music, and your conversations are just excellent. Thank you for sharing your work.
Got up this morning and saw that you blokes had posted a new video. My wife made me pancakes covered with fresh strawberries (we live in Florida). Poured on some Canadian maple syrup and brewed a cup of coffee. Sat down to this great breakfast and watched the video. Best way I know to lower the blood pressure and start off the weekend. Thanks!
Awesome video. It's always great to hear from masters of a once dying trade. The days of wooden shipwright apprenticeships might be gone, but thanks to UA-cam and the rest of the internet, this trade is not yet dead.
Great story. Another nice episode....but I'm going to pull you up on the sapwood on the edge of the oak table that Trevor was leaning on. Naughty, naughty!
Funny that you should say, "We look forward to seeing you in the next video." Of course you can't see me, however I feel that you are talking to me. And I appreciate you taking the time to do that. gary in japan
Slightly disappointed that you didn't draft (draught?) in one of your pals who's had new knees to talk about that. Otherwise top production once again Jon, bravo..
There are still pockets of traditional boat building around, Luke Powell in Cornwall for instance and the Port Townsend operation in Washington State. Crack on, lads!
Such a pleasure to get the latest chapter of your project. Elegant as usual. I'm curious, with what did you wipe down the knees and breasthook before varnishing? Spirits to remove dust? Beautiful work.

It's a great therapy to work on. When it's finished - we'll just have to start another one!

Thanks so much. Lovely to hear that our videos are appreciated so far away.
Tremendous series blokes and better than anything on TV 👏 Thank you
Glad you are enjoying it and thanks for your kind comment,

So interesting to read your story. We need to find ways of restoring these apprenticeships.
Fantastic episode, well done all! Cheers

Many thanks for your comment and really pleased you are enjoying the series.

Very envious of those pancakes!
I'm always inspired. Thanks for posting
So glad!
Great pleasure to watch all this poetry!
That's nice to hear.
More, much more than just two blokes building a boat.
Glad you like the kind of extra bits.
As always a delight to watch, learn and hear Trevor Jackson's fascinating story. Old blokes matter!
agreed!
I look forward to each and every episode, theres a different surprise in every one.
That's great to hear. Thanks
Awesome video. It's always great to hear from masters of a once dying trade. The days of wooden shipwright apprenticeships might be gone, but thanks to UA-cam and the rest of the internet, this trade is not yet dead.
I've learnt so much from youtube. It's a great resource.
One of my favorite channels on many levels. And one of a very few I don't watch at high speed.
That's so nice to hear. Thanks.
Another great episode Jon, the boat is coming on at pace and looks beautiful!
Thanks Steve, glad you're enjoying them.
Just love the photography, the tone, the pace, and yinz guys. Thx. (yinz is Pittsburghese for you plural).
Thanks so much. I never knew that about 'yinz'!
Beautiful Nostalgia Thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your work. Trevor was a bonus. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
Trevor nis a real legend!
Great episode again. Dazzled by your skills as usual! Thankyou.
Thanks again!
Priceless video. Talking to an old craftsman.
Thanks. Trevor is the last of a line.
Lovely to watch.
Thanks.
The Portuguese say that you plant a cork oak for your grandchildren. Sounds about right. Better than leaving them a wasteland.
Lovely saying.
Great story. Another nice episode....but I'm going to pull you up on the sapwood on the edge of the oak table that Trevor was leaning on. Naughty, naughty!
Now my daughter who is a furniture maker has noticed that too!
Funny that you should say, "We look forward to seeing you in the next video."
Of course you can't see me, however I feel that you are talking to me.
And I appreciate you taking the time to do that.

It's great the way that there is a community building up around the project.
Slightly disappointed that you didn't draft (draught?) in one of your pals who's had new knees to talk about that. Otherwise top production once again Jon, bravo..
I'm sure we'll find one! (or two)
There are still pockets of traditional boat building around, Luke Powell in Cornwall for instance and the Port Townsend operation in Washington State.
Crack on, lads!
Absolutely. Luke Powell's work is immense.
Delightful.
Thankyou.
Thanks.
Great work fellows. Enjoying the journey.
Thanks.
Another great episode, really enjoyed thank you. But what did Trevor think of your efforts?! Did he notice the frames had been moved by 2 inches?!😀
He didn't - but he will now!!
another great video . keep them coming
Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Yes that's right just some spirit to remove the dust and bring up the grain before linseed oil.
@@jonsealwoodturning4673Thanks for clarifying!
A good portion of our youth today have no concept of the term “boatwright”…..kinda sad ain’t it
Yes but there are some very talented young boatwrights out there too.
@@jonsealwoodturning4673 absolutely.... been watching Tally Ho since the beginning and Leo has some fabulous artisans
