Apparently a shipwright is just another name for an engineer on a boat. Love your craftsmanship! Perhaps even more impressive is your zen-patience through the process. Well done and thank you!!
Thank you! 🙏 I’ve been hearing from a few Swedish viewers lately. It’s so cool to know that people around the world are watching. I’ve not yet been to Sweden but I will look forward to that someday. Cheers. 👍🙏🙌
It is nice to see you using coosa which is excellent both by it self and as a layered setup with other composites to get what you need. I have used 2 inch Coosa , 1 inch Coosa and g10/fr4 sanchwiched to rebuild a rudder table where the the original was rotted by termites in my rebuild. looking forward to seeing your progress. I am still learning little techniques along the way.
Looking good, Jon, yeah, bevel those hard edges for the glass to hug the edges ..try the backside of a plastic spoon to smear the epoxy into those 90-degree gaps mate ..looking sweet.
Where to find plastic spoons? They became illegal to sell here in Norway 4-5 yrs ago. Same for plastic cups, plates, straws, etc, and due to environmental protection (if you wonder)
@@SteifWood Interesting. I could send you a few as the USA has a far different approach to environment protection practices.... There are probably some other commercially available options that would do a good job (better than the wood stick I was using...) that can be reused (silicone spatula?)
i would ve removed the wooden braces, to avoid any future maintenance. and avoided the aluminium altogether, by inserting (potentially, im not saying they would have to fibreglassed/installed), some vertical pannels to avoid any sagging of the coosa board, sure its more work and money but you also create space for compartments and im not one to forego that chance! mind you i have a 29 footer, i think that contributes alot for this mindset aahahah what you fibreglassed is already stronger that what the wood might be doing. i always fibreglass on top and bottom, always 2 layers of 400gsm biax. one is always tempted to make everything flush, straight, right angle, what have you, but in reality what we want is to promote water running....to someplace where it can collect, be extracted and without pooling in places where its presence will promote problems. so actually you wanted that coosa board to have a slight slant both atwarthship and fore and aft so any water, and you will have water there, will run down to a better place. ppl will say oh but its never going to be much water. and i will answer that 90% of collisions happens at the bow, so you want water to run to a place where it actually promotes the stability of the vessel and where the bulk of your pumping ability is wired. its bad enough having to deal with emergencies, worst still when the boat is leaning because water is just better at self leveling than us. nice work as usual!
Some really good thoughts here. Good advice about the pooling water. I will think about that. I didn’t laminate the bottom of the Coosa since I didn’t need more strength or waterproofing from the panel. Just impact resistance. 🙌👍
Great work John! 🎉 If it were me, I’d put down that Ram Board on the floors, steps, and table in the interior of Antidote to protect that beautiful home.
Thanks. 🙏 Yeah, that’s a great idea. I’ve been thinking about that. The only reason that I haven’t is that I haven’t figured out how to make the components accessible and hold the edges down. Maybe gaffers tape? Any thoughts?
@@livingforsail I can’t comment on that, any tape will likely be a bear. 🐻 You’re likely going to re-finish anyway. I would at least put the Ram Board down to protect your would from divits and damage. The tape can easily be removed with Goof Off. I’d rather that and it be protected from bumps, gouges, and such. I’d suggest to put this up to your audience in the next video. Get a roll of Ram Board and 1 roll of tape. Ask your audience if anyone can help on feedback and thoughts. Heck, maybe a Short take instead of next episode.
I always sand my coosa with a coarse sandpaper on my orbital sander. You never know if contaminants are on the coosa even from factory. It is also vital to vacuum the surface after sanding as there is a fine layer of dust that fills the pores and can lead to delamination. I also acetone before glassing but I am using vinylester resin.
Jon, you are about to hit your first 10 thousand subscribers! You probably hadn’t noticed so I thought I should point it out 😊. Keep doing what you are doing and you will add another 0 to that count before you know it.
Hey! Yeah, we are getting close to that milestone which is pretty cool! It’s been fun to see the community build around the project and videos! Cheers! 🙌
Was waiting for that round over part until you admitted you forgot. As in building furniture where you intend to paint, always "break" exposed edges as a 100% sharp 90 degree often will chip off the paint
Yep, it’s funny how I thought about it and then realized I didn’t have the camera ready… then when I had the camera, I forgot the step 🤦♂️ It looks like I got away with it this time on the non-critical part.
How did you secure transportation for your boat? I have a 36 ft Pearson I need moved from Mobile Bay to central Alabama (to do a similar refit) and the few companies that Google suggested have either ghosted me or flat rejected the freight. I have yet to even get a quote, so I have no idea if I’m looking at $2,000 or $20,000 to have this done. Any suggestions?
Look up “associated boat transport” here in Marysville WA. They are regarded around here as the best in the business. They have moved many big projects here like magic carpet 2, Duracell, and I think also Tally Ho. They might have a good lead for you or Even have a job engine g out your way that maybe they could swing by to help you with. I’d give them a call if I were you. Best of luck with that! 👍
I throw them into a 5 gallon bucket with a lid and an inch of acetone in the bottom. As soon as I’ve finished the work I get back to it with a stiff bristle brush if needed to make sure there’s no epoxy in the grooves then I let it dry. So far it’s worked well. Basically, if you’re not actively using it, dunk it in acetone… Good luck!
@@livingforsailI choose infusion for many reasons. I make a lot of 4'x8' carbon fiber sheet stock, I infuse directly to glass tables as it is the simplest and best way to do it. If you want to learn infusion UA-cam is not the place to learn. Pre preg in an autoclave is the ultimate but the feasibility of that is limited for most people. I have an autoclave large enough to park a school bus in so it's a different story for me.
Why are you cutting the aluminum beams like that? That making the strength at both ends only as strong as the thickness of the aluminum beam. Shouldn’t it at least have a strengthened support under the beam at each end?
Apparently a shipwright is just another name for an engineer on a boat. Love your craftsmanship! Perhaps even more impressive is your zen-patience through the process. Well done and thank you!!
Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad that you’re enjoying the videos! 🙏👍🙌
That sanding/tablesaw table is genius! 😎
It’s pretty handy and with two really heavy tools it actually spins fairly effortlessly! 👍
John, you obviously have the same attention to detail as Aladino, great work.
Thank you. 🙏 He does great work! That is high praise. Cheers. 👍🙌
Awesome as usual! Hope you’re paying your helper well!
Thank you! 🙏
This is high quality teaching!
Thank you kindly. I saw your other comment also today. Very kind offer. Cheers! All the best.
Love the detail you go into to get it right. !
Thank you sir! 🙏👍🙌
It is a pleasure watching your craftsmanship! Thank you for taking us along. Best wishes from England. James
Thank you sir! I appreciate that very much. 🙏👍🙌
super informative vid. fiberglass is super cool. nice work
Thank you! 🙏 I appreciate the feedback. 🙌👍
I need those electric scissors for my Christmas wrapping!
I use them to cut just about anything. They would work great for wrapping paper 👍🙌
Gonna try to boost this channel in Swedish FB DIY boat channels!! Even the music is good…
Thank you! 🙏 I’ve been hearing from a few Swedish viewers lately. It’s so cool to know that people around the world are watching.
I’ve not yet been to Sweden but I will look forward to that someday.
Cheers. 👍🙏🙌
@@livingforsail Welcome to dock Antidote at my jetty when she's ready!
That’s beyond generous! I hope to take you up on that offer someday. Where am I heading?
to Southern Bohuslän, in the Western Sweden Archipelago!
”Bow Whose Land” ;)
Very nice, Jon, very nice.
Thank you! 🙏
Not even a zombie apocalypse will be able to destroy Antidote when your upgrades are finished, ha-ha. Great job!
Haha! Zombies are something that I worry about often. 🙌

Very nice progress. Your fiberglass skill have really come a long way. Looking good!
Thank you sir! 🙏🙏👍🙌
You always keep your work space so tidy!
Haha. Thanks… it’s not always. Just ask Bridget… 🤣
I like this video. I'm sure it takes a lot of work to produce.
They do take some effort so it’s nice to hear that people enjoy them. 🙏👍🙌
Looking good, Jon, yeah, bevel those hard edges for the glass to hug the edges ..try the backside of a plastic spoon to smear the epoxy into those 90-degree gaps mate ..looking sweet.
That’s a good idea with the spoon. I’ll try that! Thank you. 🙏 Cheers!

@@livingforsail Ram Board Tape
@@Psychobilly Is it a nightmare to remove after 1-2 years? Like painters tape is? It will need to stick to the wood sides of the floor panels...
@@livingforsail I can’t comment on that, any tape will likely be a bear. 🐻

That all sounds like very good practice. I agree that the Coosa is a “dustier” panel than other foams. 👍
@@livingforsail it's also very satisfying vacuuming the board seeing how much dust is being removed from a seemingly clean panel.

I wonder what it would look like with you and Aledino building a boat together? Be crazy! 👍🏼
Haha. I’d love to spend some time working with Aladino. That would be a lot of fun. 👍🙌
You need a glass table for what you are doing. You would be better of by just infusing the parts.
I would love to get into some infusion work. Maybe overkill for these panels though? 🤷♂️

@@RobJohn80 Yes, that would be nice to have!
Why are you cutting the aluminum beams like that? That making the strength at both ends only as strong as the thickness of the aluminum beam. Shouldn’t it at least have a strengthened support under the beam at each end?
If the fit is good and I can keep the ends in shear then there is plenty of material there to support the load.
Do we have to listen to a tin can being hit😢
I’m not really sure what you mean but I don’t think anyone is forcing you to do anything that you don’t want to do… 🤷♂️
