The music I'm actually listening to: open.spotify.c...
To stop messy breakthroughs place a sacrificial piece of wood underneath the piece you want to look nice and clamp them together, then drill and you should see a nice clean hole.
I'll second that. A backer scrap of wood will prevent break-out (might not need to clamp). Great background music!!!!
This
You also can take 2 of the planks you want to use, put the "nice" sites inwards and clamp them together. Then drill through both planks and the unclean break out is on the side you don´t want to see.
Exactly
as well as a bit specifically for wood , not an all purpose bit , and the sacrificial piece of wood and clamped as the gentleman stated , remember just because a bit says it can be used on a matterial doesnt mean it is designed to do the best job on that material, and get that impact driver , you wont regret it
⛵️Watching again in the car, but remembered my ear phones this time!!!!....Daren't have the sound up, otherwise your Dad will watch you rather than the road!!!!🫣...Honestly Sparks, you really are becoming a true craftsman!....As always, couldn't be prouder & also,,,love, love, LOVE your thumb nail!!!....Granny now knows what that is & agrees!!!!....11 more sleeps - whoop!...🌿⛵️Loads of Love Mum⛵️🌿
haha. yeah, don't put the sound up. I know what Dad's like
@@WildlingSailing ...Exactly 😂🫣🫣😂😂
😂
Great work,loving the videos,yup agree with mum lol,GBY.
Omg, how embarrassing having your mum comment.
Just kidding mum, you've raised a wonderful young man.
To keep the drill bits sharper longer, put some machine oil on the bit where you are drilling through metal, and drill stainless slowly, it will help keep the bit from getting too hot.
It would be ideal to put a flat washer under both the head and the nut end of the bolts. Spreading out the pressure won't collapse the wood under the head. 👍
Good advice
As a cabinet maker I drill through onto a sacrificial piece of wood. This avoids break through. Keep up the good work you are doing great.
My Friday Night Fix. A Cold Beer & A Wildling Sailing Episode Ive Been Watching For Years 👍
On my class of boat, it has a balsa core deck so it's common to over-drill the holes, back them with tape, fill them with glass impregnated epoxy, wait to cure, then drill to the proper size in order to mount fittings and prevent the spread of water into the wood core. It works well and I recommend that instead of just using a cotton swab around the edges.
Yes, this...
I think over drilling and epoxy is the Gold standard, but it's also a lot more work. And with a boat in the water and still lots to do I would be doing this with a cotton bud.
Yep, I was baffled he didn't do that given the rot history he has encountered with through bolts/windows/etc. It's basic school. I'd used a 3 x 1/3 formula based on bold diameter, ie that the big hole to be epoxied is 3 times larger than the bolt diameter.
@@m1kalD Unless you oversize drill, the same thing will happen again & again with cotton swab technique ...and doing it 2 or 3 times to feel comfortable with results is false hope and definitely longer than doing it properly one time. I would only assemble it all with oversized holes, filled with epoxy and then drill for final bolt placements ....will be done in one try and know it will not rot out in my lifetime !!!
@muskyful I don't disagree with you. If it was a new build or other wise in great condition but this boat has lots of secrets hidden away from sitting out in the weather for so long.....
Remember to put washers on the wooden backer plate to prevent bolt heads from sinking into the wood. You are making great progress.
Mark took care to explain that he didn't have the large washers he needs, and will be buying them.
The 1st 5 mins of this video were probably the most relaxing 5 mins of any video on YT.
....Wasn't it Artistic Pete!....
Came here here to say the same thing, showcase of excellent editing and building skills
Mark - consider using bolts that are not threaded for their entire length. Just threaded where the nuts fasten. Under load, the thread tends to work / cut into the structure and the holes elongate. Apologies everyone if this is old territory.
Also the threads are technically weaker than the unthreaded shoulder on the bolt.
Good points.
Honestly, I thought rivets are to be used in this situation?
To avoid wood chipping, I usually drill from both sides. Start with a small pilot hole.
Hey bud, to avoid tearing out the wood around the drilling area, all you have to do is place a piece of sacrificial wood underneath. In this way the hole remains tear-free.
That glue you're using must be really good because it's got me glued to this channel lol...
Haha can’t beat a good bad joke
Hello,
Bravo. Good work. Yes that’s true, better using bolt not completely threaded entire length. But that’s also so difficult to find them… you progress well. Bravo. So much work to do, with bad weather. Bravo, bravo… Croix du Sud , Patrick and Sylvie
Nice video... Your kindness to the wasp is understable... Sentinent being all deserve to live. ☮️
It’s nice to see how much care and patience,you’re putting into your work now.😊
Pliers on threads never good, try 3 nuts, 2 make a lock nut while you tighten the third, works if you have enough thread length, respect to the one man job, there's always a way!
What do you think about overdrilling the holes, then filling them completely with epoxy and then drill a new hole just through the epoxy?
Also, to prevent rip out on the other side while drilling: just place a scrap piece of wood underneath and clamp it down, that should prevent rip out...(works also with a circular saw...)
If your getting wood ripping out the other side when you drill bud,. What I tend to do is use a smaller drillbit first, all the way through. Then you can use the correct sized drillbit on one side halfway through and then just flip the wood and go all the way through, so no tear out.
Wasps are one of the best architects on the planet
Some of the shit the create is awsome
RE WASPS:: It might sound funny, but you can hang a stuffed brown paper bag under an eave or somewhere wasps like to build nests, they will think the area occupied and wont stick around.
Never heard about this before but it would make sense. Interesting!
Dan’s the man!
"SikaFlex the Shit out of it!" I want that on a t-shirt! You're doing a great work, getting the job done and it's very enjoyable viewing.
It's already available on sailing yaba. Another awesome wooden boat design
That would be a great shirt! But remember, with caulking more isn't always better. Believe me, I'm a legit caulking master.
When I put a bolt and washer (or just a bolt) of stainless steel, I slightly countersink the holes and I pot an o-ring over the shank bolt--and grease it all with a little lanoline before tightening. NOTHING gets past that--neither salt water or fresh. If I am using washers, I countersink both sides. Do not use TOO thick an o-ring, it only needs to be enough to form a FIRM seal. No more rot under deck stanchions , ring bolts or chain plates.
I make up my own square stainless steel washers if I can not buy any--I always use square ones on deck on vertical surfaces over wood. I put a corner uppermost--it sheds water and dust and covers a greater area, better spreading the compression load.
The O-ring trick also works on wood--as long as it has been epoxy-saturated and is absolutely impervious to water at the surface. Countersink the edges to a 45 degree chamfer, only needs to ne a couple of millimetres--and use a 3 or 4 mm thick o-ring well greased with lanoline.
Do you know of any books or places to find more tips like this? Thanks going to use this!
19:11 yeah classic wasps nest starting there. Make sure it's not moved construction somewhere else. They can build a little nest really quick, about the size of a golf ball.
While you haven't installed the mast just yet read up on lightning protection. From the top of the mast all the way down to the lowest point of the 2 hulls.
It might also be useful to pre-wire the mast for lights, radio antenna and maybe a forward looking mini camera.
Dont forget that measuring the angle on the slanting rooftop it becomes a compound angle. You may get to small of an angle compared to blueprints.
ohhh yeah. that makes sense
Google the benefits of using cutting oil. Once you know, you'll never not use it.
Thanks for sharing.
You continue to amaze me how you are putting this together. I hope it maintains its sea worthiness and allows you many hours of enjoyment.
Being a Wharram, it's already off to a good start in the seaworthiness department.
Looks like the glue you used for the wood plugs was a 1-component Polyurethane glue. They cure with the humidity in the air and wood and are known as one of the best glue for wood and outsoor use. I am surpriced to see so much Epoxy used for wood gluing. I concider Polyurethane better for that. There are many brands, like Sika, Casco, Illbruk etc. in rheumatologist market. They do naturally expand a bit and therefore fill gaps and small cavities. Well done in this episode. Again 😊
I'm sure you must be feeling a bit of excitement now. You are close to setting up the rigging.
Can't wait to see that go up.
The best way I’ve found to seal holes is to first drill them oversize, then fill them with epoxy and then redrill the hole in the epoxy. It’s the only way You can make sure you have no water ingress.
Letting the saw do the work your certainly learning I have watched you from the begining and I used to worry about your lack of skills but now I can see how much you have improved .I am confident I will see you sail around the world and I wont be worrying about your ability to face the problems you may face on your travels.
That dynamia weave looks good. Pretty soon you're going to be splicing dynamia line in your sleep bud. Keep it going looks great
Great work, well within your capabilities.
Only gripe as ever is the god damn awful music especially at the beginning, really awful, completely ruins it.
You'll definitely be sailing again this summer. I'm predicting a launch on the 12th August.
You should tally up all the skills you have learned so far in this project, and be proud. Not in an ego sort of way, just realizing how much you've learned through your investment in this project.
Speaking as an older man, you will regret using the palm of your hand as a hammer. Right tool right job. I used to do that exact thing and my hands ache all the time now.
I just love Your videos. One hell of a job you have taken on ! Well done ! You will get there with Your tenacity and determination. Keep up the good work and the videos. 👍👍⛵
Love your show and I am sorry that I am too old to tackle a project like that myself! That's a mommy wasp and please don't knock things into holes with the flat of your hand! Easy way to lose use of a hand for a week or two while a tendon or bone heals...
Great update. 2x👍 Put a spare bit of wood behind t he hole your drilling and drill trough the chain plate backer into the scrap wood should stop break out.
No washers beneath the bolt heads? Yikes! They're going to cut through the wood and loosen rather quickly. Get some really large washers to distribute the force over the wood.
I would have bolted the chain plates from the outside in and used some large washers to spread the load and prevent the compression so deep into those backing boards.
Thanks for letting us come along with you!!! I appreciate it. By the way I love the music you chose 🎶 😊and off course good job 👏 👍👋
To stop your bit from breaking out the back of your wood, put a sacrificial piece behind, then it'll break out the back of that and not your wood.
Like the video, can't wait to see what you are gonna come up with for the cockpit. Will you build up a cabin on your decking? Keep them coming.
Stirling stuff just finished watching your channel from the beginning. Love it.
If ur abroad near Amsterdam I live nr you family lancs I travel the dam 26th if u need anything bringing over get in touch I've follow ur chanel from the start it's gud I enjoy it loads
For the rip out when drilling, putting a piece of scrap wood behind/under the piece you are drilling can help with that.
Good news, the more holes you drill in your boat, the easier it gets 👍. West System has great penetration so you shouldn’t need to fill your holes again. The chain plates are looking great.
to stop the problem with the holes put another sacrificial timber underneath your backing timber plate and drill down through both pieces
Masterful filming and masterful editing of masterful work on the chain plates installation! Thank you Mark for another entertaining episode.
I enjoyed your empathetic interaction with Waspy too.
Progress is being made…… slow but sure…… before long you’ll be sailing the high seas to exciting exotic places…….Ship ahoa………⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
Evict the wasp or she will build for a family... and you will be the one they evict 😂 Hope the weather drys up...
Those outer packing ply plates i hope they were epoxy sealed .. or it will rot really quick wicking water in through the end grains last thing you want is those disintegrating in a year and the plates starting to shift.
Professional work again Mark - As usual. You are very thorough and meticulous - Just like Mr Wasp!
Mark with each video you are becoming more professional in the way you are building thing great work
That's Mrs Wasp to you!
The only gender reveal that was ever wanted 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💗
Really enjoyed it Mark. You’re doing a great job as always. It’s going to be a real strong boat.!!😉
Great episode. Lots of work and not so much unnecessary talking about obvious things. Looks good what you are doing!
To prevent (most) blow out, place the work on a scrap backing plate and drill through. The tighter your work is pressed to the scrap backing, the less blow out you get.
Before putting your chain plates on counter sink slightly on the outside . This creates a reces to form a kind of O ring around the bolt . Little trick of a former boat builder .
To reduce breakout use masking tape. Bit of double sided helps a lot to hold items in place as you mark out and drill if you use sufficient
Thanks for posting and sharing. Very encouraging comment from your Mom.
🤗🤗🤗
When drilling a thru hole place a piece of scrap wood under it to avoid that annoying break out, try to find an old small drill press the cheap old ones are fine.
10:40 You knew it before. Just drill on some sacrificial wood.
Great episode. I really enjoy your videos and I’m always sad when they end. I’m curious how and what you are living. How independent are you with water, sewer electricity. I’m hoping you will build the water maker. Plenty of UA-cam videos for buying the individual components and fitting them on the boat. It’s about 1/4 the cost and more flexible in the space. It’s not REALLY building your own - just getting the same components and attaching them in a series. My two concerns for you are water and electronic/communication/navigation. I don’t want you venturing off without some way of making enough water for daily drinking if you get stranded somewhere, and sufficient main and redundant communication. I know you are itching to sail, but safety first.
Thanks! ill keep my electronics super simple, but ill definitely have AIS. Ill overlay my AIS targets on my navionics App
Easy tip to stop the wood splintering the back of a drill hole is to place a couple of strips of the blue masking tape over where the hole will come through. A sacrificial piece of wood under the hole drilled wood will make it firmer still.
We like old credit cards for use in spreading epoxy and sealant…and filler, too. LOVE your progress. Great not to rush. You are rockin’ it, Mark! 😎❤️🥰😎❤️🥰
Drill-Fill-Drill Once you get all of the holes lined up Drill over sized through the cabin top and backing plates. Then Fill completely with thickened epoxy then drill original size hole.
Clamp or wedge a piece of wood on the opposite side to prevent break out when drilling through plywood.
Clamp the wood you are drilling to a sacrificial piece of wood it should help with blow out.
Mark, a few thoughts: as a number of people have already said use a sacrificial piece of wood behind when you’re drilling and you will not get burst through. when preparing through holes, it’s usually better to drill them oversized by about 50%, then completely fill them with thicken, epoxy, and when set, drill them out to the correct diameter. This gives you a wall thickness of epoxy that does a much better job of preventing seepage into the wood that you drilled through. I also agree with the remark that you should use bolts that are only threaded on these last section and our large a smooth diameter to prevent in the holes as they work. also, epoxy does not need a great deal of pressure and full squeeze out. If you’re using it thicken, then the whole purposes to create a fibre reinforced bond between surfaces that may vary and not be perfectly made less epoxy with full squeeze out will certainly mean that some areas have squeezed all the epoxy out from between both faces so only moderate pressure should be used in my experience. This is a good thing because it’s a lot easier to do.
I think you might consider watching sail life on UA-cam. The guy on there oversized drilled all his through holes and filled them with thickened epoxy. Then he redrilled them to the correct size so he didn't have to worry about water getting into the wood or insulation. Just a thought, but I am no boat builder. Love watching your channel.
For nice holes, get yourself a set of Brad Point Bits. They have a "blade" that cuts along the outer edge of the hole that will nicely cut a hole. Always drill a small pilot hole as well. If all you have are standard bits, drill a small pilot hole and then with the proper size start on one side of the wood and then finish the other side but try not to push all the way thru. Another method is to drill into sacrificial wood directly under the workpiece. Clamp both together for a seamess transfer betweens pieces of wood.
Brad point bits are the bomb tho.. and always use sacrifical wood under when possible.
besides working on the boat and going to amsterdam have you seen and done anything in the netherlands yet? if you finish the boat are you going to visit more places in the netherlands or straight south again? now that your here it would be a shame to not do something fun too sometimes
Nice one..!! Good progress on important components. Cheers..!!
Nice job. Good video, I enjoyed it. Liked the music as well. Thank you, Duke.
For drilling through wood without splintering the backside: Just put another piece of wood under the one you drill in... 😉
A lone Yellow Jacket starting a nest is a Queen. You can't let it go on or before to long You will be driven out.
Wasps are generally peaceful. The reason people get stung is they freak out and flail around. That said, there are some species that will go on the attack when you get near the nest. We have a pond here that wasps frequent to get a drink, when they are away from the nest you can pick them up no problem and they are chill.
Shear is your worst problem in wood. My 25' Evelyn had a bad problem with the bolts shearing the wood in the bulkhead. I had to extend the backing stainless steel plates down and add more bolts. Make sure the bolts clamp down hard and compress the wood. Otherwise the bolts will shear and elongate the bolt holes in the wood. You need more bolts and more clamping area.
Making fantastic progress Mark, chin up, it’s long boring tedious stuff that needs to be done, but your doing it all right, you are turning into a proper craftsman without even knowing it, time and practice, you can only get even better, keep it up buddy
I really like the mellow music and work sounds in this video.
Mark,why don't you drill the holes 2 a 3 mm wider tapered inside and outside . Fill them fully up with epoxy and then drill the right size hole. that way you are basicly drilling through solid epoxy?
The sailing Dane would approve of this message, when he isn't sanding something.
Another sacrificial piece of wood underneath it so it won't tear out as it goes through
Put a piece of wood behind what your drilling it stops break out on good wood
maybe using a little bit of painters tape on the other side might help with the fibers breaking
Sacrificial wood will stop the drill bits from busting through cause chips.
Just keep on keeping on Mark, won’t be long and you will be doing a shake down sail!!!
You've came a long way Mark. Boat building and or Restoration takes a lot of skill and years of experience. You have improved dramatically in a short time. Enjoyed the video Mate.
Your videos get better and better every episode. I like the music a lot.
Thank you for doing all the editing and creative camera work and handing out inspiration like it’s candy.🙏🏽
Barracuda, bending steel, backing plates, oh my! Really enjoyed watching -- great content and terrific progress.
Hum I think your drilling technique has changed a bit from the early days...slow and steady now!! Awesome keep it up!
The plant reminded me of the movie WaterWorld with Kevin Cosner with nearly same boat.
Your workmanship is looking really good! Keep going! And keep resting when in need! FYI: You can soak the plywood with really really thin polyurethane. When you drill quite near bolt size and use epoxy, moisture can spoil the plywood.
you are great at editing videos, selecting music and shots, and all this is an addition to great content. Not to mention the great job you do.
You are doing really well. Great work keep it up.
If you use cutting oil it will help with life of your drill bits
Man, you are one heck of an inspiration. I like the way you talk about your processes and quality as you go. It helps it all seem real to us armchair helpers.
Mark
You are doing a great job. Loved all your welding episodes, iv asked our Manager at work for a small welder, so many uses for making your own tools etc. Best thing when you get frustrated with a job, walk away have a coffee or Tea. Then it's all good.
Again great work.

ignore the hate. no one ever did anything trolling the internet other than nothing
Nice. keeping it interesting i see. Watching this on the big screen!
I forgot to ask last week..... you are taking all your measurements off the plan for chainplates and backing pads, so does the alloy mast you have , have all the tangs on the mast according to the plans, or is it a bare spar? Hello Marigold...you know who you are.
no, it has slightly different height attachment points on the mast, but I've marked it off on the drawings and made little adjustments
Hello 👋...& Yes, they're packed ready!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
