If the whole "boat thing" doesn't work out, you can always get a job as a chimney sweep!
I like watching you work. A man with alot of common sense
Most of my life I have worked on different types of boat's especially my uncle 32 ft private fishing boat. I started at age 10 about 45 years ago I played deck hand, steered the boat, mechanic, you get the picture. For a free fishing trip every weekend. except for the last 18 years. Anyway one day I had a another tankerman tell me well there's nothing to do today he's just going to watch movies. I said man you're on a boat look around there's always something to do. My point is yours is not even in the water yet and you're doing maintenance. Coming up with new ideas. Even though you're not finished yet. When it's in the water, The fun begins and the work never ends. An old wise man told me that. I always called it fun work.
You're a great guy Doug... Helping neighbors out is just one of the awesome things you do... Turning ordinary dudes like me into weapons of mass creation is another. Have a great 2021!!!
When I envision a Chinese Junk Boat, Ive always thought of a wooden, beat up, single sail, poor family vessel. I never imagined there would be so many details and craftsmanship needed! Simply amazing!
As I’m one of those that contribute by liking its New Years Eve so to everyone
Happy New Year 🥳 be kind to each other many people have been lost this year and won’t get to see Seeker hit the water. Cheers Doug and all those that have helped build a 74ft Junk boat.
Inspiring a new generation of builders see you could do it. Congratulations.
Only 2 years to go! Oh no it’s not 8 months ish.
One suggestion; put a “teardrop” weld zinc inside of your seachest, if you have enough room to get in there to weld. Often times, sea chests are the first to corrode out, form galvanic action / turbulence!
The old paint rag in the pipe. happens all the time! i just had to laugh at that one.
Loved the remark about metric--I was explaining to my grandson what those other marks were on his new tape measure and couldn't think of anything close to that good
I am going to clean and paint the insides of my scaffold tubes with your ideas. I love it.
The sheer amount of work you get done, even solo, is always so inspiring Doug, good on you and thanks! 💪👨🔧
And a HNY from Building SY Mistress
I like the way you think and tackle projects makes me think out of the expensive commercial equipment box
Thanks for the tips and good luck
Love watching you work and problem solve.
That is a neat little puller you made. Great idea!
August 12th!
Wow I can't wait.
Just found out about what you've been doing. Good for you man! Well done, a real inspiration.
You sir are amazing!
Your tool is just as I envisioned when you mentioned it
100% on the HOA peeps. They just like having meetings.
The wash basin in the workshop area has sharp edges on the splash guard, maybe round them and add a small diameter rubber pipe to cover, seen in video at 10:32. Don't wanna be bumping into that edge on a rolling sea.
Another year watching your most excellent shipbuilding Seeker is looking great . Have a great New Year with a successful launching can't wait !
August 12 and August 21st. Kinda getting big in the windshield now.
I've got a neighbor who the whole community calls Glades from the old sitcom called Bewitch. She's just like her, she like 70s years old now and she still hasn't learn the decency to mind her own business. She has to be in every bodies business, some time its just hilarious, other times it down right annoying. Our neighbor like five houses away found her in her closet in the upstairs bedroom and said to her, what the hell are you doing in my closet ? she didn't reply she just walked out of the house. One time when we were having an addition build on to our house, she'd was found many times downstairs talking to the builders and my wife finally had to tell her to just go home, you need to leave them alone, they have a job to do. And they can't get the job done with you talking to them all day, She's nuts.
Doug, you’re my hero!!!
Great video Doug. Now take Christmas day off. You've worked hard enough to deserve it. Have a very Merry Christmas.
If my pancreas will let me I'll be there for that launch.
got the date in my diary, but will just watch from the UK. Happy New Year to all SV Seeker crew.
Great work as usual guys.
August 21st Sweet
happy New Year!!! peace and health for humanity !!!
Great job!!!
On the calendar!
Ya'll should 3d print up a bunch of scale model SV Seekers for sale so we can have one.
I made a heated aluminum door frame for a walk-in freezer.
Happy new year Doug & SV Seeker ,what a show .
Learning from a Master
1:32 I see you finally caved on the thrusters. ;)
Another outstanding video, Thanks!
happy new year
Merry Christmas Doug
Ingenuity at it’s best!!!
Happy New Years you guys
Nice to see that ROV. I almost forgot about that thing.
now just image doing this job on some sandy beach during low tide
Yeah, much more enjoyable.
Standard barring puller available at any auto shop would make short work of that
Think about that.
hi boat is going very well guys
Happy New Year's from southwest Florida
Happy New Year Doug, all the best from Norway
Great minds think alike.just ready to suggest on a puller and you built what I was thinking of.You may know but they make a nut that has a slot between two nuts that spin to close the slot.Its made for threaded rod just slide over rod spin then tighten.
one inch all thread with three tapered legs and a tapered cone, the legs free float the cone wedges the legs out and then you put a cross bar to tap with a hammer to extract the bearing
Nice work but ember that’s stern tube and cutlass is a press fit - careful with the sanding ...doesn’t take much to reduce the tolerances and then the bearing could potentially spin ....
No it’s not. I built that. It uses paint and set screws. :)
Just want to say watching your videos really inspire me. A couple of years ago when I was offered a job as an Industrial Maintenance Apprentice at the brewery where I work I was kind of scared I didn't know enough and wouldn't cut it. Your anyone can do anything attitude definitely helped me make the decision to just go for it and I'm so glad I did. First job I really love. Just wanted to say thank you and keep it up!!!
Ps. Will you still be making videos when shes on the water?
Yes, we'll make videos on the water. I got my speedo ready. :)
So Aug. 2021? In water?
Closer....closer..closer. and closer.
Weld a ring to the standoff tube so you can have a lashing to it while doing this under water while diving.
Add the same on a bolt on form form for the screwed rod.
That way you only need two hands to keep up with the bearing and your wrench...
;-)
With regards to the shaft log. It's mild steel, right? Have you thought of lining it with a PVC tube? I found a very good fit for my shaft log, and bonded it in place with 3M-5200. After more than 20 years in the water, it still looks very good. I change the cutlets bearing from time to time, but the integrity of the PVC tube looks as original.
That's a good idea.
You didn't need to slot BOTH plates for the puller did you ? 🤔
Suggestion on the cutlass bearing we put scoops in front of the cutlass bearing that kind of help water to flow through the cutlass bearing and out the shaft and I haven't had to change 1 in 15 years I'm a commercial fisherman Alaska we check it every year and there's never any slop the water keeps the cutlass bearing lubed we have stainless Tail shafts You may have a different system go and I didn't see any kind of a stuffing Box so my suggestion May not work for you but you might Check in to it feel free to text me if I can help
It's to bad you don't have a flange on the end of that cutlass baring. That would give a simple pulling point.
You need a puller bar "toggle"
John moreland should be the one you should have to do the music on the launching day, he is the best you can find in tulsa
In this video Dough works hard on a shaft for over 12 minutes. Happy New Year everyone.
Gotta paint your log every now and then, keeps it from rotting away.
August? ... This August?! It just seems surreal.... so fast. I feel like it was not so long ago, that you were welding hull braces.
Hey! Would you sail to England do you think?
nice, happy crimbo Doug and crew
Happy new years
How many hands will be necessary to operate this magnificent vessel?
One, if you don't mind being busy.
@@SVSeeker i wish I could, it would be a honor!
@@SVSeeker it would be a honor, but I don’t think I have the skills and the healthiness in order to not be a burden!
Happy new year 🥳🥳
They have a tool for pulling and installing a cutlass but they are expensive but you don't have to remove the prop shaft.
Not for a shaft log.
@@SVSeeker Now that I look at it there is no way to get to the other side of the cutlass without removing the prop shaft. Man that sucks but I'm sure you all knew that when building Seeker and are ready for it.
Do you think you will need a pelican type case for the ROV when storing it disassembled?, like to prevent it from being banged around in rough waters
Sweden whis you Happy new year⚡⚡
Hey Doug how old is your grandson now, I remember him helping early on.
A the best matey 👌
will the bearing fit now that you put that coating in there ?
That's my thought too. It looked like it was a tight press fit without the paint so I wounder what happens now. Maybe there's bearings with a smaller diameter of the bushing.
Awesomeness
what happened to the last closing song? i loved it
You made me laugh with the biggest flapper sander I have ever seen used.
I was expecting the drill to be used on the brushes though🙁
WHAT’S AT 11:45 A SPEAKER?
Pssst Doug (wispers) it's cutless.
Yes, the name comes from it cutting (wearing) the shaft less than older types of bearing but there's a brand of cutless bearings named Cutlass (with a cutlass sword as their logotype) so many people say cutlass about all such bearings.
Weld a cap over the outer end of the bushing on the puller?
Why?
@@SVSeeker because you can.
Need to coat my van in something like that for protection from road brine.
Did u tig with the primeweld
Very little
@@SVSeeker just seen yall were using a tig....what machine did u use?
@@whoknows3347 Oh, the Primeweld is only for aluminum TIG. Anything else I use a Miller XMT 350
aug 21st in my bday
"With fanfare"
Hmmm *imagines John cena fanfare*
I think you meant to say don’t be a Karen,lol
I wonder if having a literal shipyard next door had something to do with your new neighbour's house being unoccupied for years 🤣 and I'm honestly constantly jealous of the freedoms you Yankees have. If I tried building a boat in my driveway the local authorities here would have a field day with me.
No, it had more to do with Stephen being put in jail. And freedom is worth fighting for.
@@SVSeeker Agreed, freedom is more important than ever now that every authoritarian in power is using the state of the world as an excuse to curtail as much freedom as possible. This pandemic has been a fascist's wet dream.
That’s weird I would think an HOA would have zero problems with someone building Noah’s ark in their front yard
0:43 That's what she said
Now till August 21, he needs to collect two of every animal. He has plenty of bilge rats.
A bottomless hole to throw money into......
No, it's not a casino. : )
I as a zealot of the new world socialist order am happy to know that you're using actual units for something.
didn't build anything, I got tired watching you work.
Glad you're enjoying the superior system of measurement, Doug.
-Your friendly neighborhood socialist. 😉
