Awesome job with the floor work. I am a cabinet/furniture maker in the States. I was watching you sand inside the cabin and wanted to suggest you invest in the Festool sanding and extraction system. Though it is costly upfront you can't put a price on your health. This system also produces almost zero dust in the environment. My shop is connected to my house so it was also important no dust found its way inside!. In the old days when I was young and less smart, I sanded with no extraction. Looking back I now say to myself what were you doing!? I'll never go back. Keep producing these very educational videos.
Hi Eric, many thanks for the comment and for the very kind donation, it’s really appreciated. I find the mirka sander with mesh disks + the vacuum I have does a pretty decent job but agree that the festool extractor is the next level so may get one in due course. Thanks again! G
You ask in several videos about people watching the sanding - do we watch all the way through? Do we enjoy it? Etc. Speaking only for myself, of course, what I like is understanding the entirety of the project - so, I like that you do time lapse (watching the sanding real time - would be too much) and it's also good that you show, perhaps, one coat of varnish, and one round of sanding, and let the viewers multiply that by three (or five... - but showing what it takes to get that floor (in this video), or that gel coat at the the refinished hull after drying it out (prior videos) done right - that's part of why I watch at all.
Very nice and profesional working. In my opinion I never put that lookers on the floor. In 10 yesrs wont seen the same aspect, the cost money, and lot of work to install, and if the leave up the lip is a weapon for a nude foot, I have seen that! Better just a simple and small hole in the floor 👍👍 Thanks for all your videos.
Understand, not fun to step on bit a hole allows dirt and small items to fall though into the bilge so solves one problem but makes another. I am not sure if there is an ideal solution. Thanks for the comment
Hi George, great work as usual, the floor looks fantastic! Instead of applying the not so glossy next coat, have you ever tried using Scotch brite sanding pads for the orbital? They come in a pack with 3 different grits, they do a great job of knocking back a very shiny finish. I've been trying to find the video that got me onto it. Thanks for the video. Beer or something in the post.....
Thanks, I had 3 hrs of footage and cut a lot, it’s hard to know what’s best in terms of detail as may would say I’d give too and others like you like the details. At least there is some sanding in here to keep the sanding fans happy 😂
Nice contrast of the two shades. Much better than the stuff that is stuck down. If you decide to sell these materials as a pack I’d be interested. I’ll have to set up a pay pal account!!!!
@@Topsailor-iw4qlthanks. At the moment I’m not really in a position to start selling materials/kits but hopefully people can use the video to do similar.
I was wondering about the possibility of creating a step rather than the slanted side below the saloon table. It might mean having to raise the seating. Perhaps not a good idea but it will give you a level sole under the table
The floor looks great. Good call on the rubbed finish. I've never been able to cut out wood with a router, with any good results. Forestner drill bits are my friend.
Gday George, I’m absolutely loving the channel content but was just wondering if you have pictures of how the countersink screws finished up? Thank you
@@sayhello2pedroah ok, they are recessed into the hull slightly and then get a skim of epoxy filler and an epoxy barrier coat to ensure no water can get to the fixings.
That was a great video and your floor looks FANTASTIC with the finish on it. I was particularly interested in how you fitted flooring to the exposed parts of the hull. As I have the exact same challenge on our refit project, this was helpful. It was also interesting to see you use your router freehand to cut the recesses for the lifting rings, very brave; that would have required a template for me.
I wonder if fluting the back of those panels would be a good idea? The flex is slight but over time and with the bumps Lottie will be subjected to, isn't it possible they'll begin to separate from where they're glued to?
Due to the proximity of the internal supporting structure I’m not expecting mush flex and the old (original) flooring was still well adhered after many years so I think it will be fine.
The cabin sole looks absolutely stunning. With respect to the table base, I was a bit confused about the part about tapping the two screws on the flat surface. What aluminum below the cabin sole were those screws tapping into? Maybe I missed something in a previous video - did you put an aluminum plate beneath the level of the finished cabin sole? And yes, I actually cringed when I learned that the other two screws go through the hull. 😬
Despite the glimpse of dodgy socks, the floor is looking fine. A question due to my ignorance. As expansion gaps are a requirement in domestic wood flooring, is there no need for expansion gaps with this application , George?
Dodgy socks!??? How rude 😂 The floor is going to be well sealed and epoxy glued down so any expansion from changing humidity will be minimal so I don’t believe it’s necessary.
I love watching you hand sanding because it's not me doing it lol
Thanks for the tips. Learned a few tricks. The videos are a great advertisement for your craftsmanship.
We like the sanding because we don't have to do it... LOL
Awesome job on the floor
Haha, thanks. Probably true!

@@RefitandSail You got it! Thanks for sharing all your deep knowledge. I am old but still learning from the younger generation...haha.
Looking good!
Well I have to admit I am floored by how good that looks. You defiantly put your sole into that !

Enjoyable doesn't begin to describe watching your work, George. Everything you touch, turns to Gold. Thank you!, George.
Thanks for the kind comment 😊
Amazing result great to watch the the boat become so much more.
Huge amount of info very well documented, I hope you get more than pence from the affiliate links.
Thanks. Hope so too but I’m new to all this 😅
You are quite right George, the videos are getting better & better. You've really got the hang of it now.
Thanks John, everything gets better the more you do it. 😅
Floor Looks great,curved to flat floor ailment of holly sure looks a puzzle
Great craftmanship, as ever 🤩
Don't forget to wear a mask , when sanding + routing 😷
Thanks, definitely, only one pair of lungs!
Awesome result - can’t wait for the next one
Tempted to use Amtico teak plank with a cream inlay. Hardwearing and lighter
Always impressed with your craftsmanship. Well done!!
Thank you very much!
Great episode George. Floor looks amazing. 👍
Thanks…. I was worried it was a bit long… I was stretching the capabilities of my video editing hardware!

Thanks. Have used scotchbright pads but not on the RO sander but that’s a great idea. Will look into it. 👍
@@RefitandSail it really is, you can cut up the rectangular ones, grey red and green, no velcro required. Have fun.
Very well done and a very smart approach. Can't wait for the next video!
I really liked this episode, lots of details and clear to see the steps taken.

George, great work!!! Much thanks.
Thanks. Appreciate the comment 😊
Brilliant work George, love that floor.
You’re right George, absolutely brilliant outcome 👍
Pleasure to watch professional at wok.👍
That’s a great result all round. My only comment is re the cutting of the finger pulls - would have been less heart stopping to have made a jig.😉👍
True, but I knew that if I badly messed up I could just replace the bit of flooring on the hatch.
Wow it looks absolutely fantastic. Awesome work!
Thanks 😊
Fantastic!! Thank you 🙏🏽
I would love to see the rubbed effect coats in the next video 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Looks very smart indeed. I do hope soft shoes are compulsory!!. That was very clever on the sides and worked very well indeed. ***** five stars.
Thanks, yes soft or no shoes allowed!!

That’s certainly possible, you loose a little in lower leg room but it could work.
Outstanding job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for the link to the router. I'll be getting one.
Cool, I’ll get some pennies then 😃 I find mine very good but I imagine the cordless one is also good but not tired it.
Great job superb finish .
Thanks ☺️
The floor looks great. Good call on the rubbed finish. I've never been able to cut out wood with a router, with any good results. Forestner drill bits are my friend.
Mine too but went with the router for this as I didn’t have a forstner of the right size…
I agree that the glossy deck (floor) is a possible slipping hazard.
That said, what plan is there, if any, to reduce that possibility?
It has now been finished on a rubbed effect (satin) varnish. Looks great.
Fabulous work George. Looks great
Thanks 😊 I have enjoyed doing the flow and the result is very pleasing
Looks fantastic!
Thanks!
Gday George, I’m absolutely loving the channel content but was just wondering if you have pictures of how the countersink screws finished up? Thank you
Which screws?
@@RefitandSail the ones for the table support going through the hull, are the heads covered or do they sit flush
@@sayhello2pedroah ok, they are recessed into the hull slightly and then get a skim of epoxy filler and an epoxy barrier coat to ensure no water can get to the fixings.

Great video, thanks. Could I ask where you sourced the white maple from in the size you used?
Would yo use able to tell me where you got the TMT timber. I have machinery to cut down and size but it looks like a nice option for me.
Gloves! 😊
😁

Yes, aluminium bar was attached to the underside of the subfloor so I was tapping a thread into that.
If you blinked, you would have missed it but we did get a very brief look at the aluminum backer bar.

@@RefitandSail Sorry, couldn’t resist lol
Good to know as it makes for a refined finish. Cheers.
@@TheMickybutlerhaha, that’s ok, I don’t own any boring socks, only colourful ones and they rarely match!
Where can I purchase this material ? Looks great
There is a Contessa 32 named Perigrine for sale in the UK. Do you know anything about this boat?
Hi, yes I know the boat and have been on it for a prospective buyer as a consultancy job.
@@RefitandSail perhaps I shall call on your service if it is still available when I am ready. Do you have a specific point of contact in such regard?
The sanding thing is all Mads fault…
😂 maybe… I’ll tell him!
Future George will thank present George for using a respirator more frequently ... cough, cough ... copd
Yep, you are right.
