Oh, do take care with your electric plane. I did a pretty severe mischief on my thumb with my plane. Like circular saws, they ‘take no prisoners’. I’m really enjoying you videos, and looking forward to progress on’Jabiru’.
Hi Phil, jabiru is coming along fantastically just looks wonderful what you have done so far and I expect it will come together so well and you’ll have hours of pleasure on her once she has been re-launched. Keep up the good work. Love your videos Cliff from Logan city, Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝️
Very good, thoughtful work there Phil. I've probably said this before, but I like the way you lean towards using hand tools, e.g. the brace and bit for sending the gunnel's screws home. You always get more feedback from a hand tool... and they're lots quieter, which does help one get on with thinking as you work! Looking forward to the next episode.
I do like the clear way you explain how and why you do things Phil, theres no doubt she's gonna be a beautiful boat again with your attention to detail
I agree completely about the hull shape, i dont think ive seen a hull like that before, prehaps only seen one online. I love it and would like a hull like that myself.
The gunnels look 100% better, did an outstanding job on them. That looks like very rigid wood and your hand planer seems to cut very nicely on it. Would it be possible you making a small video on how you sharpened the blade? Thank you for sharing your videos, the content is excellent. Can’t wait for the next on. Texas
Thanks for your kind words. I use a wet stone grinder and diamond pads tp finish. I decided on this after seeing Leo explain it on the Tally Ho project. Maybe I should do a little segment to show it if I ever get time.
I agree definitely the worst thing to do to an old wooden boat water gets in behind the fiberglass wood expands with the damp and cracks the fiberglass not to mention the wood rotting under the fiberglass
Very interesting comment thread. Knowing nothing about wooden boats, I assumed fiberglass would only improve things. Phil sems to be a very thoughtful, knowledgable guy, and I'm sure he has his reasons.
The other option is to have a leaky, musty smelling boat. If epoxy and glass had been around in 1930, those old boatbuilders would have grasped it with both hands and gone forward without a second thought.
The gunwales will be glassed over Then another outer strip attached and most likely varnished. Im leaning towards no toe rail, just a non skid finish on the deck. That's the reason for making the side decks wider.
Do not glass the gunwales do not glass the hull, that will be a death sentence for this boat. There are proven methods for preserving wood hulls so they last another 80 years. Fiberglass is not one of them.

as ever enjoyed your work ,amazing the power of a Stanley Brace
Great job Phil, bit by bit mate, perfection takes time. Seeya Rob
Nice looking adjustment to the gunwales.
Looking great 👍👍
It is great to see you do your work with expertise at every step and to hear you explain what you are doing and why in such a clear and simple way.
Coming along nicely 👌

She's coming along Phil, and really looking good! :) Always pleased when a video of yours comes up on UA-cam. Cheers mate!

As a work boat those original heavy gunwales would have been essential, what you have done is much prettier and suit her well going forward.
one of the coolest restoration video series on youtube tv and one of the coolest boats !! , Save wood boats , they have a soul
She looks vert special

@@revivingjabiru7588 that would be great. I just can’t seem to get them sharp enough.
Keep up the amazing work.

Gunwhales
A classic like her should not be glassed over
I agree. No boat ever benefitted long term from glassing.
I believe the same
I agree

Do you have to glass it ?
Not if bailing is your favorite sport.
Will the caprail be glassed over or removed and refitted after the hull is glassed?
