Gemma, the prison, blues music, you played while cleaning that metal bracket seemed extremely appropriate! And Simon, it’s said there are two types of fools in this world. Those that loan tools, and those that return them!😂
I'm still waiting for my old mate David to return tools I lent him thirty years ago!
Came to say the same thing. Music is always perfect.
Nice work…
Simon, I absolutely agree with you on the tools my dad gave me. I treasure all of them and will pass them on to my children!
That was a cool story. People who have dad's like that are so lucky
“Ship happens” has a unique way of bringing up their restauration of Sarinda. Simon and Gemma put a lot of effort in making the channel better and better.
That’s a brilliant idea, turn Sarinda into a restaurant 👍.

Thanx for the honneurs.
I’m a dutchman
who tries to express his gratitude to this channel.
Cheers
I busted up laughing at the same time gem started laughing. That cracked me up and made my day!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!!!
You two should buy and restore a large hovercraft that can haul materials and "fly" back and forth over the muck ! Crazy? Yes but I do have solutions !! Lol
A Captain on a wooden sailboat in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, would liberally scatter rock salt, used for deicing roads and sidewalks etc., over the wooden decks when it would rain. The fresh water would then be turned into salt-ish water and not be so hard on the wood. Perhaps you could entertain something similar?
Thanks!
Thank you so much xx
My dad had Whitworth tools when I was in High School to work on our British Motorcycles, an AJS and an Ariel. Great memories
The orange mallet is a dead blow made of a soft material and vulnerable to damage from using it on sharp metal objects such as bolts. Using the mallet on wood is ideal. I've been using them for years used properly they are great. Love your boat project.
Great choice choice with the blues.
Glad you think so!
Hopefully, this summer brings great results..
Have you glued a piece of scrap over the rat access yet?
Man and woman, the decks
Trust Gemma hit hands trol come out throw mud lol
"When buying a boat, make sure its the wife's idea" no truer words have spoken!
Hahaha... That is such a true remark....
Also make sure that the wood is really rotten its comes apart so much easier.
Also make sure that the wood is really rotten, it comes apart so much easier.
Love you 2 u have such a lovely relationship keep up the good work
Thank you so much!!
I never cease to be amazed by your resilience and constant good humour. It is a pleasure to watch you working. Keep up the good work.
I grew up in the country. When the rainy season hit, the bridges over the creeks would wash away. The locals would hop on tractors and go look for them. We finally chained them to anchors so they wouldn’t go that far
The boat restoration is very good indeed,but you both are the icing on the cake so to speak. What a cracking couple you are the banter and your personality is the very best.My respect and good wishes to you both. Ken Robinson Wirral.
What a challenge you have taken on, best wishes to you both well done....
Hi Simon and Gemma, I am thoroughly enjoying your exploits with Sarinda. Gemma, instead of having a seperate lower bench, make up a duck board (similar to the bridges you made) to increase your height above the existing bench. That way you both can be comfortable at 1 bench.
You guys bloody rock mates blimey
good luck on getting it all in that shed. l have been with you right from the first vid and you two all ways make me smile so please keep making the vids. from colin in york
"Roll on Summer". Agreed on that.😊
It's great that you two love each other so much that you support each other through everything that happens. It's very encouraging...
I always enjoy watching you two restoring a piece of history. Never give up on your dream..
You are both still smiling . That's good.
"Who's that trip trapping over my bridge?"
My children all loved that story!
Roll on summer. Been a wet winter this year. Garden is more swamp than lawn 😂. New bridges look great. Maybe Charles will come visit for an official opening.
Is there any difference between your summer and winter over there, looks like it’s just a bit worse in the winter, don’t know how you handle it
Every man wants a Gemma to share his adventures with.
Great subtle message on you pullover Simon - "lest we forget" - especially how and where the world is tragically heading..... Your tenacity and always great humour, is an inspiration to us all!
Great job. The guttering fixes and rainy days will be brilliant to look back on when she's travelling the world. They will be distant memories but will make you smile. Great job, as always, and one week closer to completion. 😊
Could you have ever imagined 4 years ago that you two would be having so much fun getting so dirty? Oh, and the mud!!!! ❤
Over the last two weeks I have enjoyed ALL of your videos, including “Adventures”! What a wonderful ride. Now I find myself going into withdrawal waiting for more. 😀 Thank you so much for binging kind enough to share this journey with us.
Love you guys, stay safe and dry. :)
G'day Crew,
Great to see more progress. A few more volunteers would be helpful,
So how about it folks, if you are able to help with a day or two now & then , let's help Simon and Gem with this worthwhile project.
After all, it's a boat that was commissioned & served its country .
Best wishes guys ,your doing a really great job .
Respect....!
Any channel that makes me laugh out loud is a definite keeper! Thank you both for the hours of entertainment.
You two guys are amazing. Hope all your dreams come true. Brilliant viewing, top people 👏
Gemma needs a work platform in front of the bench! Like a little short scaffolding that can slide under the bench when Simon is working there.
Watching those bolts in the bilge come undone was like an advertisement for British Steel! Remarkable!
So neat , so perfect, these guys always do a first class job. Waste not want not. For sure Simon, your names will go down in history - they are already really!
You both compliment one another so well.
Both bonkers 😂😉👍🏼🇬🇧🧙♂️
Some Mothers Do Have Em, was Frank Spencer..Ooh Betty lol 🤣
Best bit of that blog was the bridges , might even pop down and see you again now 😮
Superb work the pair of you. How on earth do you not become disheartened with what is a massive undertaking. It must take a lot of mental resilience to keep getting up and at it day after day. You are so valuable to each other.👍🏻
That laminated rib can be termed "gopherwood" just as Noah was instructed to build his ark. There is no wood species called gopherwood but is the term to describe an ancient process of laminating timber using tree-bark resin.
A-frame you can build a bird cage if done properly it can last for a couple of years get the heat shrink plastic with the gun and the pvc with the connectors you will be fine and just erect a monumental statue around surrender that way you can fix the decks rain or shine
Gemma dear, please wear some eye protection when you are grinding the rusty bits. My teeth are on edge watching for the eye injury.
How about covering rhe Bridge in chicken wire to stop it getting too slippery.
I love you two... you're such a crackin pair!
'Frank' from Some Mother do Ave Em "ooh Betty" 😀
Frank Spencer in some mothers do Ave em....lol
Gemma gets all the good jobs, cleaning a manky bits of iron. 🤣
Got to say she did a great job looks like new. 👍
Great update 2x👍
the trolls under the bridge can run the toll booth, to earn their stay.
You've come far on this project. Still far to go but keep digging!
Not fair, not fair Simon, Gemma didn't have a left-hand hammer... Not a equal hammer competition... lol Are those going to be toll bridges? Can't say you don't have running water on your ship...
Is that a invitation to the vandals..??
Yeah thought the same ; providing easier access for the local crims.
This is just a thank you for you know what!❤
Well done guy's, just keep plugging away...... no pun intended !!
Please wear safety glasses more, the big squint just isn't cutting it ! all it takes is one splinter in your eye and you could be blind for life
Maybe they should also wear helmets. Sad what Canada has become...
Safety squints make sense for grinding or metal machining. Otherwise?
@@michaelblaszkiewicz7283 safety first
@@davidelliott5843 safety first
its sad what you are, you probably will be hurt at work with that attitude@@michaelblaszkiewicz7283
Nothing like a dirty face as a turn on. Don’t know how Simon keeps himself under control.
I wouldn’t be able to handle that if I was her husband. I’d be like, we gotta take a hour break babydoll 👍😇
I’m confused ! I’ve gone from Ex164 to another purchase/another boat - help !
I'm wondering what's the point to glue the pieces of wood before using some bolts to fix them ? anyone can explain please?
The glue takes hours to dry so if the bolts are installed while glue is still wet it doesn’t matter. Then tighten the bolts and glue will dry by the next day and everything is glued and screwed together making a strong joint.
You could do with a pressure washer grit adapter to aqua-blast rusty metal. After that, a soak in phosphoric acid will stop any flash rust and hidden pits causing trouble.
Unlike dry angle grinding, minimal health risk and working outside = easy clean-up.
I bet Simon and I could have an interesting conversation. I’m from South Georgia in the USA. I can have a thick accent!
When I've done restoration projects involving cleaning rust from metal parts,I've always then had them hot dipped galvanised. That makes them absolutely bombproof against further corrosion. Where needed to paint to match other parts,I've used an etch primer followed by the paint colour-but it's the galvanising that provides the massive long term protection.
Frank Spencer 😅😅👍
Frank Spencer .?
see you used the music from Matts off Road recovery :-)
I’ve not seen that before, will check it out!
I look forward to your video's very much here from Canada, well done, it's quite a journey. I am old enough to remember when British measurement was a thing you are definitely going the extra mile, er kilometre, er klick.
I love watching you two. You dont look 44 Simon. The humor is great as well
Respect Gemma, you do a hell of a job together👍
A clean shaven man, and a woman who doesn't mind getting dirty. Well done you's. I'm loving your devotion.
I truly appreciate all your skill and hard work. Please buy a very efficient diesel or gas generator. U will never finish this work without enough power to run your tools. What is the sense of running tools on batteries if you are going to run the ship on its original motor which has no emissions whatsoever and will overwhelm what ever clean energy you used within the first hour or two of it running. You see none of this makes sense and you are not accomplishing anything - climate wise.
Then if you look at ice core data, CO2 always follows the temperature curve. It’s not meeting the narrative. So inconsiderate.
But we should be as economical any fossil fuel. It won’t last for ever - our grandkids will need to power stuff and make stuff.
Now not to Grizzle Emma 😮 USE EYE WEAR WHEN GRINDING. 😮 It REALLY HURTS when grit or bit of Disc hits ya in ghe Face or Eye. 😅 other wise good solid day. Top marks for Bridgr building 😊. Lets hope the great unwashed don,t use it to be annoying.😅. Make a Floating pontoon to stern of boat stay outa the mud.😅
Ever tried electrolytes on parts? It's looks brand new again. Only a car battery. Clothes soap. Water. Ref UA-cam.
In the 1950s, that stretch of coast near the road you drive down to the sea used to be a lovely sandy beach that we children played on for hours. Aged eight, started to sail out into the Estuary from that exact location of the boat yard when it stored the Dee Sailing Club dingys. Now it is all silted like at Parkgate but at least the tide still comes in.
No safety glasses on while grinding metal !!!🤕. 23.59. At least think of the drain on the NHS you would cause if you had an incident.
Come ON guys; where's the riving knife & blade guard for the table saw?
That's a serious safety issue, so PLEASE address it.
37... I spent my 40th birthday sick in bed with pneumonia, don't do that 🙂. 44 umm, things start to speed up after 50 , don't ask me why! Copper around £6K a Tonne, how many of those nails have you got?
Mrs. Bucket: It's pronounced Boo-Kay....thank you very much.
Instead of building Gemma her own work bench, why don't you just build a platform to put in front of the bench when she is working there.. Like 2 feet x 3 feet, and 6 to 8 inches high or whatever works best... Awesome job, keep the videos coming...
Simon, I`m in Ontario Canada and I just watched a video about the UK, have you ever heard about radon gas. you might want to watch the video about a guy in the UK, the video Colin Furze has radon gas? by Glencoe Radvac. the gas comes from decaying uranium and it`s all over the UK, and in your area, it isn't good. I know where you are so please check it out for your safety. The video is about Colin Furze and the underground tunnel he dug.
Gemma, when you spray, use tin foil to wrap the wires to keep paint off! I’ve done that before..from the Bahamas 😊 Your bench height should be about 30 inches..not sure about centimeters!
Nice goin, like the gutter and the string tracks 👨👩 -> down there fer dancin 🦶🦶m8s nice goin! Stay vertical Eh!
Perhaps you should find a little hovercraft to restore then mud or high water wouldn’t be an issue!🤠
If you'd have angled the sister bit the other way a dovetail would have been created making a tighter and stronger fit? You guys are tackling a big project, my little boat keeps me busy (18 feet) and happier for it.
I hope that you make them 'Troll' bridges, could increase your funding.😀😀
Nice recycled bridges. Two posts on one side with a rope handrail might help. When those grooves on the decking freeze full of water thay can be slipy.
Great vlog, you guys are naturals.
When, and if, you have a few minutes to spare and four pieces of plywood to spare...
Cut the layer to the shape of your boots +3-5 cm. Take some rope to make them fit as an extra layer under your boots.
And you will have a moving platform to walk on the mud..
Why not build a frame shelter around the top of the ship wityh polyethylene film ( 4-6mil thick) covering. It will help keep the wind and rain out of the ship. It doesn't have to be perfectly dried in... just enough to make it more comfortable to do work.
Enjoying your stuff... but please, at the one minute mark Gemma puts her hand a bit near the table saw blade. Getting a bit to casual with a saw blade is a invitation to disaster as over 30,000 people find out in the USA each year.
23:59 Try squinting 😂 This will reduce the surface area of the eyes exposed to flying material🤓🤓🤓
Visegrips for 13th birthday, thats not bad.
In the mid 70's when I turned 1, i got a shotgun and a chainsaw.
Got to get firewood and something to eat.
Gorwin up in the bay was a lot different that town or city.
At 13, you were no longer a boy, almost a young man, treated as such, and expected to do the work for your size.
Never ever loan out tools, not even o family, they can bring what they fixed or buy their own tools.
Thormby ? nope, just looked it up, Michael Crawford :)
I'm not sure if this has been thought of before...you could make Jemma a nice little flip down step/stool platform for her to stand on when she's working at the bench...just a thought😊
Some Mother’s Do Have ‘EM lead character’s name was Frank. Jessica was his wife I think.
Are you sure those folded steel braces are good enough to reuse? That was a lot of rust for something with the load they have on them, they look to have lost 50% of their thickness. If I were to reuse them, I'd be doing a more complete job of rust removal, a bath in molasses/water mix for a couple of weeks will remove all the rust entirely. I'd then be using a two-part epoxy anti-corrosion coating designed for a marine environment, not spray cans. Those are going to rust again.
More importantly, a P2 mask is not really enough for all that iron oxide dust, it's terrible for your lungs. The fact you have the rust dust around where the edge of the mask sits shows you are drawing it in, past the edges of your mask and breathing it in.
Gemma. Please tie your hair up tight while you're grinding. You're running a risk of getting scalped if you're not careful. I think we'd all prefer you stay as intact as possible. Sarinda ain't gonna paint herself and who's gonna keep Simon in line if you're not there?
Is Sarinda British built?
Yes, she is a WW2 Navy boat built in 1943
Please don't take this as a criticism but if that grey paint you spray onto the metal pieces is just cold galvanising then they will need a rust convertor on first. Although they have 95% of the rust removed the remaining 5% of the rust will flourish under the paint. I remain impressed with your level of dedication and quality of work going into this project, keep at it team!
