All the best wishes. Life can be a mess, but you are probably stronger than you think. Most of us viewers here (I would dare say) admire you big time for what you have done and how you are dreaming big - at least in terms of boats. If it is of any help, I gladly offer to bake and deliver you a cake and a hug.
"...my very limited budget, in terms of time and money...". Yeah, those are the two main components missing in a lot of my projects too. Those--and skill, ingenuity, initiative, commitment, problem solving, laziness, etc. You get the picture. I'm actually not that bad, but I really do admire your ingenuity, persistence, and vision for your projects. Nice job.
"Without you I am nothing..." my heart reaches out to you... You are not, and can never be nothing my friend. Stay strong and thank you so much for sharing your triumphs!! Much love from England
BROOOOOOOO I KNEW YOU WHERE SOME KIND OF EITHER RAVER OR DJ PLS DROP YOUR SOUNDCLOUD 🙈 them goa pants you always wear gave me the vibe ... Please go to Hans Bunte in Freiburg or I will come to Berghain in Berlin :D
What would we be without good friends. Family and friends can carry you through the most difficult times! Great video, the boat is coming along very nice.
Glad to hear you came through the storm... I have enjoyed all your Videos. Motivational Leader Sam Chand said once that life's problems begin with an 'S' say 'Hi' in the middle and end with 'T'.
When welding thick constructions and joints (over 3mm) it is best to heat up the surrounding areas to minimize thermal stresses during welding. I have seen cracks forming right by the weld because of the huge temperature difference between the welded joint and the cold surroundings. In shipbuilding, they use induction heating to heat up the big ´´lego´´ pieces before welding them, to minimize stress and warpage. Also, when welding frames and etc, clamp them down on the table to also minimize warpage during welding. As the weld cools down it starts to shrink and bend the material toward the joint. Glad to hear you got your life back on track and cant wait to see this monster of a build take shape :)
G'day Crew,,, Without you ,,we have nothing ....!!! No cool ,,, "My First Boat" channel , no cool vids ,no mega cool music , no cool mod barge transformations , Need i say more ,,,,, Likewise we also would have nothing Alas ,, we are all but the same ,, Its always darkest just before the dawn . An honest man who is valued by loyal friends has credibility . Respect ...!!
when welding, weld forwards not backwards, backwards is correct for the old stick welder you had but with MIG you should go forwards. also wind is your enemy with mig.. other than that the welds look great for the level of experience you have.. good work
MIG you should go forwards? Really? Where did you learn that? It is technique not direction. Look up what welding schools teach on the subject. Not trying to be rude but it is said by many but wrong.
@@monkeyman2174 I'm not trying to be rude either, but are you being sarcastic? Every tutorial on the planet shows you to push to "stack dimes". I learned to weld in the military, Tig, Mig, Stick, upside-down and standing on my head. For certified welding, you use both technique AND direction "forehand welding" for proper penetration. For "backyard" welding or general working environments, the only time I cheat on direction "backhand welding" is vertical corners. Backhand welding is also generally used on thinner metals, so you do not burn through.
Direction - The MIG gun should be moved from left to right, adding filler metal on the left side as the weld progresses. Backhand welding is used significantly less than forehand welding but is superior when it comes to welding thinner metals. The above statement was copied and pasted from the top answer when googling proper weld direction. WFT?!? That is straight out wrong or just vague as hell. The following is a reiterated explanation of the proper direction welding with Mig. Direction - The MIG gun should be held at a 30-degree angle pointing in the direction of the weld and be moved from left to right (for lefthanded people) adding filler metal on the right side as the weld progresses, pushing the puddle. For righthanded people the Mig gun should be moved from right to left adding filler metal on the left side as the weld progresses, still yet pushing the puddle. Backhand welding, pulling away from the puddle, is used significantly less than forehand welding but is superior when it comes to welding thinner metals.
Most new boats today are offering two versions of the same model- stern drives and outboards. Guess whats outselling? the outboards. In the states most of the salt water boats have outboards. Easy to work on, easy to maintain, and offer the same power with improved reliability and efficiency. For a new boat or a new project, outboards are the way to go. you made the right choice! It should be easier to rig the steering linkage as well. You could even salvage something from a boat scrap yard.
Honestly great great work and progress!! When I first saw this boat I wasn't really believing in it turning out nice, but after seeing this episode, the pain job, the grinding, welding.. I'm speechless!! Great Great job here and I can't wait for new episodes.. Cheers!
You REAL first boat deserves an exterior paint job ! If I had that many friends over for a painting party I would need a lot more food and a lot more BEER !
Your new stern outboard mounts are attached to the old bow of the barge, the bit you didn't paint @19:58 is the rudder skeg, that was the stern, I hop you plan to remove this? if you leave it there and keep this as the bow the boat will be very difficult to turn.
Looks like your motor transom is going to be a huge water brake! The drag on that transom will be off the chart not to mention the stress on your welds once that thing is moving.
Glad u are back, hope everything had been sorted out, I am a welder myself, and when u weld u can hear the difference between the weld which is good or bad, but I am deaf, and not easy to hear, but use ur eye. Good luck again with ur next step.
Grateful your back !! Whatever you've been thru, I am glad your back an feeling happy to be here! Because we too are beyond happy! This was fun an educational episode.. loved everything an everyone who helped... I understand struggle. I lost everything to fire. An have been houseless for 2 an half years... Looking for a boat...!! I stay positive an happy cuz as long as I have family an friends... I will be fine .. my family are ppl I've picked... My family are like the most beautiful vibrant flowers.. they were once friends but bloomed into family.... I hope I make sense.. Anyhooo happy to see your new skills too!! Amazing an you inspire me to never give up an to find a way... Thanks for sharing your life with us grateful ✌🏼💗😊❣️
Sehr gute Zusammenstellung der Bilder und Kommentare dazu gleichzeitig. Das ist nicht so ein langweiliges Gelaber wie in anderen Bauberichten. Eine Empfehlung hätte ich, auch bei kleineren Platten wie z.b. der Reparatur an Deck, ist es ratsam, das Teil an den 4 Ecken zu Heften oder anzupunkten um Verzug beim Schweißen zu vermeiden. Viel Erfolg und gutes Gelingen weiterhin.
Is it just me, or does it look like he mounted the transom on the bow? That end of the boat is more swept for directing water underneath. And at the other end, is what I would assume would be called a keel (I’m sure what to actually call it) or rudder mount.?
> When welding slow down the side to side motion to build up a thicker puddle for bonding deeper in the gap. Quick motion thins out and bridges over the gap with a thin puddle. The slight pause at either side showed penetration into the base material as you noted, which is good. Do more practice welds and cut them across with your metal saw to check for penetration and full bonding. You have some nice equipment to work with so learn all you can. Take care.
As a mechanic, welding is one of the most fun activities I do, as long as it is a short session. All day long and it's just a dirty chore. Also owning and using a sewing machine is very satisfying. It's like welding for fabric.
Everybody is fighting his own fight. Its not how you fall, its how you get up and move on. And you are doing great. By far the best video so far, by the way, and yes, thats because of the lady's painting. Great job to, looks good! And the way you cut that iron pipe, my compliments.
Great to have friends to pull you trough. I have been on the hard since 4th of July and the people around me here in the Yard also made the difference between failure and success! The boating community rocks!
Looks like you have alot of good friends and family for support . Glad your troubles are behind and your moving forward . The big boat is looking good !!
You should get yourself a bevel square. You deal with a lot of angles on boats. It will help in other jobs as well. If you figure out how to use it well it will save you a lot of time. Set the level to its existing angle and cut your material. Steel,wood, plastics,fibreglass, glass
Your bravery to try new and unchartered tasks amazes me . I too have rebuilt an old boat and it is very fulfilling , especially when we are out on the Atlantic fishing . We have all been in dark places in our lives and the human soul is very resilient to say the least . Hobbies are great things to have , you also appear to have a great bunch of friends around to assist you . Bless you and may you stay safe and healthy ☮
I am glad you are back and made it through whatever trials you went through. A big thank you should go to your welding friend because that project was not for a novice welder. Good luck and carry on.
Good luck to you and and a prayer for a bright future. Life for all of us has bumps in the road, I pray your major bumps are behind you, wand what further bumps are smaller. GB
LOL, How many outboards did you say you wanted to line up across the back.. seven or eight???? ok no problem....That's a hell of a bracket buddy....Wow! paint job looks good. Can't wait to see how your topside gets laid out... keep it up.
When welding, try pushing the puddle instead of pulling it. The advantage of pushing the puddle allows you to preheat the steel which makes a nicer weld.
I'm surprised there are not more people saying something about his welding technique. I was cringing and my stomach was turning watching this dude weld. I'm happy to see he resolved his backwards motion with heat and technique to make the welds halfway decent. He still wouldn't be allowed to weld on a real ship, unfortunately... fortunately. Did you see Monkey Mans comment on pushing the weld is wrong? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS WORLD?!? lol

There are tricks to fitting larger steel as well to keep square. Tack weld your joints in corners of joint before welding. 3 points. It will move and not remain square.
I was thinking about you last week while browsing on UA-cam. There hadn't been any updates for a while. Now i know why. The boat makes great progress as well as your'e live. And you have many IRL friends and also a lot you don't know personally but they with you on this new journey!

Yep she's going backwards. Forward facing rudders can be abit dodgy.
