Hello h. I just looked at your you tube video’s. Only a big respect to you and your daughter to the work you are doing to restore this fisher. In my young days in 1975 i restored my 45 ft. skoyte on the island of stord and went manny times to bergen. Worked parttime on a shipyard in hardanger, caulked the RS 1 partially. Just like you i enjoy working on boats and solving all the problems on them. And there are a lot of them. Now 70 i am doing my final boat , a 26 ft. Daysailor. Bought it for 150 € as fibre glass ships are concerned in the netherlands , if you want to scrap it or want to get rid of it, as chemical waste. You get in the same system as asbestos and that is expensive. The result is that you find these old fiberglass boats abandoned over the country or pick them up cheaply. Still restoring is a costly matter esp. Buying materials as you for sure know. So keep up the good work and i am looking forward to your next videos. Greetz, jaap
Hi. Thanks for sharing your story. Sounds like great times! 😊 Stord is just a few hours south of Bergen and Hardanger is a few hours to the east, in the Hardanger-fjord. So you had a 45 foot wooden skøyte, that your restored. Sounds great. And you have been working on the legendary rescue sailingboat, RS1, constructed by the famous Colin Archer. The first boat Redningsselskapet (The Rescue Company) bought from Colin Archers yard. Most impressive! 👍 Best of luck with your current (last) project. I admire the fact that you are still working with restoring boats.
Firstly you both are fantastic. My brother came to Switzerland and sent me so many pictures of you're beautiful country I absolutely love you're boat and it's great to see you're daughter helping you out. From new zealand 🇳🇿 you guys rock
Thank you, Richard from New Zealand, for a kind comment. This is actually Norway - not Switzerland - but the terrain in this city is dominated by mountains, just like Switzerland only not as tall. And our waterways are the North Sea/Atlantic and not the river Rhein. Actually I have thought of Norway as being a lot similar to New Zealand in terms of nature. :-)
I feel for you. Still it sounds like you have good memories to live on, and that is a great legacy from a father. Thank you for following us on this journey! :-)
I can't add anything as I'm not mechanically inclined. However you should have kept the fly on the board and made him the mascot he would have been a permanent fixture sealed in time LOL I don't know who's more of the photographer you or your daughter but whoever is doing it does a good job and I like it when the humor is intertwined I may have mentioned that in one of the other videos. And no sleeping on the job😂 It's amazing how much detail there is for every little aspect of the rebuilding. Definitely requires critical thinking. Hope you and your family are doing well Steve Naples Florida we're right now it is 98 degrees and extremely humid
Oh..you are right, Steve, that was indeed a rash decision from my side, not to include the dead fly into the epoxy. I am however glad to find in your feedback that we still deliver satisfying videos. There is an aspect of try and learn in all of this work, but it seems to work out ok. Soooo... 98 F should be about 36 C. OMG! And extremely humid as well? I do by far prefer our mid summer with light rain and 65-70F. Only partly sun but liveable temperature. 😊
Love the videos, great to see you working with your daughter. Not sure if you have an impact driver with variable torque. I use Milwaukee it will assist with not breaking stainless screws. Great effort with the boat and the videos, very entertaining.
Thanks for motivating us to continue! Your Milwaukee is a step up in quality (and may be strength). I do not use an impact driver, but i do have variable torque. Just didnt think about it at the time. The main fault was to pre drill too small holes for the screws, in combination with using cheap plaster/wood screws. But...no problem! :-)
Great work Helge and Sara - it's inspiring to see the progress and the growing confidence (of you both) in front of camera. Won't be long until the 3k subscribers milestone 👏
Thank you for the video. Glad to see you using epoxy with wood, not polyester. For many gluing jobs, you could use a small 3mm/.125” notched plastic scraper. I found mine in the wall tile section of the store. It ensures the epoxy is coating evenly. Saves epoxy and is much faster than a stick. I also use throw away chip brushes (v cheap disposable brushes) that I cut the bristles down to half their length or more. For tight spots, cheap as well as used toothbrushes are excellent. They are stiff enough for epoxy. Breaking screws is a pain. if the screws are correct, try one size up in drill bit. I use a larger drill bit into hardwood than softwood for example. Looks to me they were breaking in the hardwood. Also they seemed to break when almost in. You need to drill a countersink in hardwood for the heads so they will seat properly. You can buy tapered drill bits with built-in countersinks or get a countersink bit for general use. You’ll use it everywhere when rebuilding the interior.
Hi Barnley. You are welcome! And thanks for all your tips! The wooden stick is a reel bummer! I did not prep sufficiently for this job. But I made it. Just wait for the next video :-) Tooth brushes! Really? Did not see that coming.... You are absolutely right, I did use too small drill bit. That made the screws break. The drill bits with built-in countersinks is a great ides. Shall see if I can get these in this part of the world. :-)
As always, very happy to see the project moving right along. You are a lucky man to have such a diligent helper on the project!! A small tip ... when working with the thickened epoxy as a bonding agent, aim for a consistency of peanut butter with the final mix as you add in the thickening agent. This will help minimize the squeeze out when placed under pressure, and whatever does squeeze out can be used to form a miniature fillet with a mixing stick or finger. The fillet will be necessary when you get to the glassing over step of the engine bed as fiberglass does not bond well on a 90 degree angle -- a fillet will help the fiberglass transition the 90 degree angle and create a strong bond. The extension of the engine bed looks good -- it will definitely be an improvement to the old design. When you cut out the old battery box, it looked as if there was significant unused space under it. could the batteries be relocated so that a long water tank could be mounted lengthwise next to the engine? This would have two benefits as it would relocate the water tank out of the living space, as well as locating it in an area with good access for cleaning and maintenance.
Thanks Robert! This was actually the first time for me to use epoxy as a binding glue. Yes, I now understand that the epoxy should be thicker, and as peanut butter (by room temperature then). I will round out the 90 degrees corners in the next round; just didnt have the tools for it as of now. There is not a lot of room underneath the battery box that I did remove. But I did not need the space for two traditional led acid batteries as I have bought two lithium batteries for the boat. More on that in a later video. Locating the water tank deep in the boat is a great idea. In the area around the engine I have exciting (yes!) ideas for attenuating the noise from the engine. That will take up some space. :-)
have you thought of a stainless pan under the engine to catch any leakage , i did that on my boat and for 36 years never had a drop of fluid in the bilge or funny bilge smell
It's been a requirement that the engine bilge is sealed from the rest for many years (to prevent any oil or fuel leakage being pumped overboard by automatic pumps). And yes, in countries like Greece, Italy, Germany etc sometimes the port authorities check just like they check your toilet holding tank.
@@jimtitt3571 Hi Jim. I believe the regulations of ours are basically the same - alt least in the end result. It is illegal to pump oil overboard and into the sea. This Fisher will have all necessary installations to prevent that.
It seems I accidentally deleted my comment so here it is again. :-) Hello Helge and Sara! Your video reminds me of when I used the West System on a boat 25 years ago. Something I found helpful when mixing the Microfibers (or in my case, colloidal silica) was to use a container with a lid and then shake. It mixes easily to any consistency. If you work fast, you can also use a piping bag to fill areas that are difficult to reach with a trowel or to create a fillet. I wouldn't bother with screws if you are using clamps. They are just places where water can and will get into the wood. Thanks for the entertainment! All the best from Canada.
Hi Duncan, my friend from Canada! Thank you - as always - for commenting. (And for the SuperThanks :-) :-) I only had two clamps available and figured screws would be a smart move. Biggest problem with the epoxy was to get the right viscosity (thickness). I have learned from Mads in Sail Life that a cake decorating bag is good for filling small holes, but I thought this was about sufficient. Main thing is to get progress. Secondary is elegance, style and professionalism :-)
@@hsobstad Screwing has always worked for me - especially with stainless steel fasteners. I agree that progress should be the leading focus. Otherwise, the project can take too long to maintain interest. :-) Have a great weekend!
The only thing that you have in common with Captain Pugwash, (I am old enough to remember), is that he was likeable. Otherwise Pugwash was generally incompetent. And you need to invest in a crew yoga mat for off duty moments.
Yes, Brian, I know. There was a son of a viewer, calling me Captain Pugwash. That was charming and I felt like running a little feedback to that young man. I hope he liked it. So, a yoga mat for Sara. Noted! :-)
Hello. I dont need a salary to help out my dad :) Besides, as the inside of the boat is hot, cramped and filled with fumes, its sometimes wiser to rest outside until I'm of need again. Cheers!
Get to see you getting stuck in with the new engine bearers. Colloidal silica may give you a stronger epoxy mix. Self tapping stainless screws are always an option. Talcum powder will be a cheaper filler for polyester. When it's hot the mix always goes off quicker and adds to the stress when working. It's going well!
Hi Peter. Are you sure colloidal silica is stronger than large quantities of fibres from glass? Yes I should have used more expensive screws. Stronger ones. Talcum would make the polyester thick but not strong, I presume? Yes it was very hot outside for a few days, and worse inside the boat. Made the polyester kick off really fast. But we made it :-)
I really like the video's Helge! But....creating a new engine mount out of wood is a bad idea! An engine will of course create vibrations, so a good mount is absolutely necessary. Making it out of wood creates a different problem...it will loose it's flexibility really fast. That is why a steel engine mount in combination with heavy-duty rubber dampers is the only way to go! Steel will not loose it's flexibility as fast and much as wood mounts will, and you can replace the rubber supports really fast and easy! Please reconsider your decision!
Really thanks for your advice. But lets discuss if this is strong enough when you have seen then next videos. The engine bed will be made MUCH stronger than this. :-)
Rubbish, I'm a marine engineer and boatbuilder with 40 years experience and laminated-over timber is standard practice. I've installed dozens of 1800 hp MAN and MTU engines and a couple of GE 3600hp turbines and that's how it's done. That Nanni diesel in other applications would be fitted with a couple of 1mm stamped steel brackets like in your car. The requirement is that the engine does not become detatched if the vessel is inverted.
@@jimtitt3571 Hello again, Jim. I read your answer in support of the picked solution for a strong engine bed. I think I am overdoing it a bit, but i find that to be part of the joy of refurbishing the boat.
Good progress. Did you pilot prior to inserting those screws that sheared? So why did you English friend call you Captain Pugwash - hope it did not involve a cabin boy.😉😀👍⛵️
Hi Norman. The Captain Pugwash was just a viewer telling me his son had named me captain Pugwash. I thought that was charming and figured I would make an answer to that at the end of this video. Hopefully he would appreciate that. I did drill out holes for the screws, but may have used too thin of a drill bit. :-)
I'm a bit surprised that your daughter is also helping with this project. Normally today's youth is more for mobile phones and computers and not for dirty work. Also, she's really cute. (That had to be rid of now)
Sara is way far and beyond an average young person and the cuteness is shining from within. As a reader of classic literature (like Don Quijote, The Monk, Beowulf, Dantes Inferno etc), and with historical knowledge a master grade student would envy, she is a really interesting person to discuss different and deeper topics with.
@@hsobstad Oh, I like people to have interesting discussions with. I noticed that she is an extraordinary young person. Not every young person invests his energy in a project of his father in this way. I am very impressed.
Oh, that is just me, unable to resist the temptation of making theatre. Might be a legacy from my ancestors past as Vikings...? Sorry if it ruins your experience of the video.
@@hsobstad Haha...yes I did actually wonder if it was the Viking connection. So it had me curious if all Norwegian men spoke in that style. But I'm enjoying your uploads. And your daughters cameo appearances with her humorous takes poking fun at dad. Makes me miss those days with my daughter, who finally flew the nest unfortunately.
I see Sara as a very smart person with a lot of skills, and consider me lucky she will help me as a father and an old person. It gives me plenty of input and sharpens me up. This game is no longer about he or she. Most universities (in Norway that is) is now dominated by females as they tend to get the jobs done (getting better grades). So this has no longer anything to do with luck or bad luck. It has to do with being smart or not; getting the job done properly or just slightly. I prefer to be smart and cowork with smarties. :-)
Great that your daughter is helping you out & questioning, learning.
Yes! It gives me more value than the sum of help itself. :-)

For filling epoxy you can use wood dust. But be careful not to leave sharp uneven places. It sands very very hard.
Nice job made !
Using wood dust? whynot. 😊
Thanks for your input. 👍
tip to prevent skrews from breaking: put some hand soap on them before scewing in
