I have done fiberglass work for a living and this is the best educational channel around. You do a great job in explaining an keeping it down to earth and real. Keep up the great work.
The mold looks beautiful. It looks like a big red mirror! Yes, I would love going on fishing trips with the 29. Maintenance tips would be awesome. Hope you're back on next week! A teacher absolutely!!! Or the best actor seen in a long time!!!
You could always start small, maybe a simple skiff? Hope the videos inspire and teach some of you all out there to try your hand hand at boatbuilding and restorations. You never know till you try. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
I have been following this build and really appreciate your attention to detail! The funny thing is that I think I saw you at the Ft. Morgan launch recently not because I recognized you but the color of the boat you were in. Anyway, love the channel!
Very cool! I can almost guarantee you that it was me. We fish down there alot this time of year. If you see me again, be sure to come on over and say hi. I will give you a tour of the 29. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely awesome to see the mold separated and the finished result, it was like unwrapping presents at Christmas 😂 I’m really looking forward to the next episode. Captain Joe, once again your time and the sharing of your experience and knowledge is greatly appreciated 👍🇦🇺
It sure is, we caught some nice ones yesterday! I know the c clamps might look a little sketchy, but I have done it that way quite a few times on smaller parts like this with good success. You certainly could drill some holes in the 2x4 frames, and lift that way as well. Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it!
I should not be nearly this excited to see this mold! Excellent job! Absolutely loving this series! Thanks for another great video! All the best from California! 🧡
Looks great. I really appreciate your videos. I’ve been restoring an old skimmer style boat and all your how too videos have been extremely useful. I’d would love to see a fishing charter in the 29. Keep up the good work.
Love the way the mold turned out! I'd be very interested in seeing videos of some of your fishing charters. The boat maintenance videos you mentioned would be great as well, it's always good to pick up tips from others to help me maintain my boat better. Looking forward to your next video!
Captain Joe, this is a great series and I can't wait to see the layup. I would also love to see some fishing video's and maybe throw a little, how to, when fishing.
I was brought to your channel from my interest in the fiberglass work and the surface repair. I am also interested in boat maintenance, navigation, maneuvering and line handling. Lately, since I own a sailboat, I have been interested in bottom cleaning myself, but I have always been a bit fearful of the sealife that sting, bite and push. I have a scuba license and some scuba experience, but haven't done that in a while. Your knowledge of fish also interests me so I can understand these fears better. Always enjoy your videos!
Yeah man, show us the fishin’! I’ve learned a ton from your how-to videos, but it would be cool to see the boat & stuff you create doing what it was made to do. Ultimate “start to finish.”
The analogy of a child birthing was a good one.....lmao, I've been waiting for this stage to see both pieces as the plug/part are separated. With every little bit that separates all remaining weight hangs on the places where adhesion is still firm and as fast as yours dropped I guess a good job of wax / proper care before hand lends itself to what we saw here ; a quicker separation. Very interesting to see the nutz/boltz of the process - ty much / peace
Pulley's will allow one person to hoist fairly heavy loads but I think I'd want an electric winch if I did whole boats like you experts.... this was a cool video. And she turned out like a mirror. A testament to good prep-work / products in the front end of a project. That's why I've asked you so many questions. Nice job
Hi Joe because of you and your channel I was able to take a rotted out floor rip it out and replace the wood and fiberglass giving an old boat new life ....thank you for all you do
A fishing trip would be great. It would be nice to see how fishing is in the south compaired to how and what we fish for up in here in New England...Also ,love the sandles.😅
Haha, yep! I was wondering if anyone would catch my footwear.I ran a charter that morning, and never changed from my flip flops into shop shoes! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Haha, yep I guess you could! I hadn't thought of that one. That's what is so cool about this process, you could build so many unique and interesting things that you may be able to buy anywhere! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes, I would like to see some fishing trips also. I also saw the 2900 being loaded up on The Big Dan Show the other night and it looks great in the water. Dan also commented on how Impressive it looks.
Haha, I hear ya! We have a few fishing videos up, scattered throughout the channel already, just have to look for them a bit. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!
Big thumbs up!!! Thanks Joe! I've been itching to see this mold relise as im getting setup to make a wheel house roof for our sailboat.About 9' x 11'. Thanks again!
Very cool! We actually have a dark green Buskens 19 in our gelcoat restoration video here on the channel. It's also in the background of our how to fiberglass over plywood video. I don't currently have the mold for that boat, but I do know where there is one for sale. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for putting videos like this out. I have dreamed of building boats my hole life ,and I am so glad to have a great place to find out how to start.
Great job, no fun when you get a mold stuck on a plug. I used to use wood stir sticks ground to a sharp point and wedge them between the plug and the mold to separate the two when needed, the air gun is the go-to method for getting them to separate, as they are under a vacuum with no air between the gelcoat surfaces.
Fishing trip would be cool!! Awesome information I watch a ton of videos on how do different things and this is the first ones I've came across that I feel I could do a whole process without having to research parts that were left out.
Thanks for the suggestion and feedback! Our goal for the channel is make high value DIY videos for folks interested in fiberglass and gelcoat. Glad to hear that the videos are comprehensive and helpful. Appreciate you watching!
Have you tried the honeycomb panels before. I has wondering what you think of the material. Great job on the channel. Love all the videos. Thanks Also what do you think of the poured transom material.
I don't use honeycomb cores very often, I prefer the solid foam cores like airex and divinicell personally. I have heard good things about the pour able transom material, but mostly on smaller boats. I plan to do a video on that topic as soon as I get a chance. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
I haven't totalled up the hours, but it is considerable. It is still minor when compared to designing and building the mold for our 29 ft charter boat though! I have tried to make a very complete and realistic mold building series so everyone can understand the amount of work that can be involved in these kind of projects. Most of the videos I have seen are for very small parts, and do not go into great detail. I hope these videos help inspire and inform anyone interested in molding fiberglass parts, and I may try to figure up the hours in this project once we are finished. Thanks for watching and commenting!
If you were just going to build a one off hard top , what would the process be instead of going to all the effort of making a plug and mould ? Could you just shape up some core foam and glass around that ?
Sure, you could do a one off part. I have episode 13 of the hard top build coming very soon, and in that episode I talk in detail about how you can build a part without a mold. I hope it helps,and thanks for watching!
@@FishBumpTV awesome mate ! I have a build in about to start on a 7.5m swiftcraft in which I am cutting the cab off the boat and making it a center console style boat ! I will be building the deck flat and building the console and hard top myself and I want to use some form of foam and glass around it all so would be keen to hear about that . Thanks for the videos . They are the most informative videos I have come across on UA-cam . Cheers from AUS
@@FishBumpTV been bing watching. I just bought an old tiara 2600 that I would like to build a hard cover over the helm for shade. I have never worked with epoxy or polyester fiberglass before but done a fair amount of home remodeling doing wood work and drywall finishing. I am paying close attention and thank you. Would love to pick your brain sometime but I know you are busy. Maybe you could answer quick question. If topdeck is soft being 40 y/o would you cut out and put new core in or would you drill lots of holes and shoot epoxy in place
I have done fiberglass work for a living and this is the best educational channel around. You do a great job in explaining an keeping it down to earth and real. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate your comment!
Impressive! Your excitement is proof that you have found your calling. Thanks Capt.
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the videos!
Thats a gorgeous mold!! Shows the experience gained from years of work!!
Thanks so much!
Shout out to Logan for always having great camera work
Thank you, I will be sure to tell him!
@@dubstylee444 he does do great work. Very steady and gets great shots. I noticed that as well
@@FishBumpTV he does hold the camera very steady and gets great shots. A testament to his teacher. Going to do great for himself one day.
A fishing trip would be great. Lookin forward to it.
Thanks for the suggestion! We just posted a fishing trip video a couple days ago here on the channel. I hope you enjoy!
This is my new favorite channel.
Wow, thanks! Welcome to the channel!
The mold looks beautiful. It looks like a big red mirror!
Yes, I would love going on fishing trips with the 29. Maintenance tips would be awesome. Hope you're back on next week! A teacher absolutely!!! Or the best actor seen in a long time!!!
Thanks for reading my mind.
Wow, thanks! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Love the flip flops!
Haha, thanks! Went fishing that morning, then straight to work on the mold. I will try to wear something more shop appropriate in the next video!
Congratulations on 40k !
Thanks so much!
When I was younger, my dream was to become a boat designer and builder, and today, I'd still drop everything to do it. Maybe one day.
You could always start small, maybe a simple skiff? Hope the videos inspire and teach some of you all out there to try your hand hand at boatbuilding and restorations. You never know till you try. I appreciate you watching and commenting!
like to go fishing to see 29 in action

Hi Joe because of you and your channel I was able to take a rotted out floor rip it out and replace the wood and fiberglass giving an old boat new life ....thank you for all you do
Thanks fantastic! Glad the channel help you with your floor replacement!
A fishing trip would be great. It would be nice to see how fishing is in the south compaired to how and what we fish for up in here in New England...Also ,love the sandles.😅
Haha, yep! I was wondering if anyone would catch my footwear.I ran a charter that morning, and never changed from my flip flops into shop shoes! Thanks for watching and commenting!
You could use that T-Top mold to built a 6-8 passenger custom light weight fiberglass or carbon fiber "Golf Cart top!" It's about the right size!!!
Haha, yep I guess you could! I hadn't thought of that one. That's what is so cool about this process, you could build so many unique and interesting things that you may be able to buy anywhere! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Amazing job and I would love to see the fishing on the 29th and launching and use of the boat please.
Thanks! Will do!
Yes, I would like to see some fishing trips also. I also saw the 2900 being loaded up on The Big Dan Show the other night and it looks great in the water. Dan also commented on how Impressive it looks.
Very cool! I had no idea we were on the Big Dan Show! I just checked it out, thanks for letting me know, I really appreciate it!
YES let's get some fishing too!
I need to learn a good way to throw a cast net.
Haha, I hear ya! We have a few fishing videos up, scattered throughout the channel already, just have to look for them a bit. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!
Would love to see fishing videos and boat maintenance videos
Awesome, thanks!
That is awesome! It looks perfect! Though, getting it to release from the plug was a bit scary! HA!
Haha, yep! Separating molded parts is always exciting and a little nerve wracking at the same time! Thanks for watching and commenting
Outstanding!
The comments say it all.
TY Capt Joe
Wow, thanks!
I always wondered ............... ? Looking forward to see the actual part being made, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yes, we would like to see the 29' at sea. Also, I'm wondering how much would it he for a Boskin 19 modeled after the 29'. Hahahaha
Very cool! We actually have a dark green Buskens 19 in our gelcoat restoration video here on the channel. It's also in the background of our how to fiberglass over plywood video. I don't currently have the mold for that boat, but I do know where there is one for sale. Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! Glad the videos are helpful
FISHING... You made the world's largest TV dinner tray
Haha, I guess so! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Incredible work and attention to detail! I’m curious, how many hours did you spend on this project?
Thank you very much! I haven't added up everything yet, but I might do that at the end of the project. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Like your channel. Watching some of fishing charter trips might be pretty cool. Thanks
Hi, what would you use to repair a mold ? Thanks so much. Great video series !
Beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
Great job. How many times do you think you could reuse that mold until you had to retire it and make a new one from the plug?
Thanks! With good maintenance you could expect to build hundreds of parts potentially.
Have you tried the honeycomb panels before. I has wondering what you think of the material. Great job on the channel. Love all the videos. Thanks Also what do you think of the poured transom material.

Yeah let’s go fishing
You got it!
Hi Captain Joe, I was wondering if you could let everyone know about how much time you're investing into this project?
I haven't totalled up the hours, but it is considerable. It is still minor when compared to designing and building the mold for our 29 ft charter boat though!

Whats the total price on all the materials.
Around 750. That's using vinyl ester resin, biaxial glass, Airex foam core and all misc shop supplies. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@FishBumpTV Thank you! I feel that I can build a swim deck for my boat now. You are an amazing person and a great instructor.
