Thank you Jerry! That's so kind of you to say! She really is starting to look so good, we're working hard but luckily also having lots of fun with it! Thank you for your lovely feedback, it means a lot!
Ifka, I've long admired your editing skills, and today's episode has a delightful sequence where you have laid a light jazz piano over video of you muscling the torture board across the hull. A light and lovely bit of irony. Well done. And with the white and rub rail together, the picture starts to come into focus. Another great video. Thanks.
Thank you John, I really appreciate your comment, the selection of the music is always hard, to predict if people will find it pleasing but we usually go for songs that we love and suit the situation. I'm really glad you like our choices. I personally love the music we use and I'm happy you do too 😊
Oh, the memories! And I was just fanching around with a 12’ skiff! I found that an unthickened epoxy paint (Lou Sauzedde recommended one from TotalBoat) worked great to create a “crust” through which I could sand through, almost as a marker coat, before I started the fairing/painting/fairing loop. My issue was knowing when to stop. And the good news was that the new roller-applied topcoat paints are really fantastic and very forgiving. Beautiful video, by the way. And the drama with the first strip of twill was fantastic. All the best from Texas!
Guys I had a wry smile whilst the torture board was in use, the name is so apt. She is coming along splendidly and I'm looking forward to see her with the first full coat of final primer. She is a good looking girl, when completed I'm positive she's going to turn many heads wherever she goes
Happy New Year! and Happy Friday! Always wonderful to see the progress of Tatkine! I learn along with y’all, more and more with every episode. A perfect example, that I have no doubt I’ll be trying in the future, is the interesting placement of a cell phone within the drip zone of a full can of primer whilst pouring. I could literally hear Ifka politely saying, “you might want to move your cellphone”😂🤣😂🤣 You two brighten this old woodworker, and sailor’s day with every episode, thank you! Cheers from Dallas!
I'm really impressed with the progress in both build AND editing. That said, I sort of miss the videos where the camera mount slowly gives way until we are all looking at the floor. You know, similar to the way fiberglass did on this episode. 🙃 Great channel, great project. Hope viewership is sufficiently growing. It will go through the roof when you pour lead, so keep that in mind if you need a boost.
Another superb episode - and what a beautiful place to go fishing! The torture board will help you to discover muscles you never knew you had but the workout will be very worthwhile. It's amazing what a difference a bit of paint makes, and Tarkine will undoubtedly be an absolute stunner when she's finished. Keep up the good work!
Fröhe Weinachten and Happy New Year from Germany. I envy your short sleeves. Pro tip: Buy a cheap spray can of brown primer and sprinkle over surface to be sanded. This will give you a very visible guide to high and low spots during sanding.
Hahaha yes! It sounded easy when we planned it but things have a way of working out differently 😉 it was a long process in the end to do one bit of cloth but we got it done in the end! Thanks for watching!
happy new year guys, looks like a good work out Matt but mind the old war injury to your shoulder, i think the Mrs is doing better at the torture board - that surface is looking real good, not an easy thing to get right when using fiber glass, but the white guide coat is a real aid, a lot of hard work for sure, but well worth it
Amazing the impact of the rub rail on the whitened hull. Really accentuates the boat shape. Maybe doing smaller fiberglass sections. Say half or two thirds with more hull wetting and top taping. Or full sections with one or two more persons. Torture boarding is no fun. Great that you can change up the routines and muscle groups used. Neck, shoulder, arms, back and legs must be sore.
i might be mistaken but the lighter cloth you showed was woven roven maybe 3oz. so far ive never worked with twill, which is a type of woven roven but with a specific sequence between the warp and weft which gives it a specific look and making it drape really nicely over compound/complex shapes. ive worked with 17oz 45/45 biax, and bought a roll of 3oz woven roven because , for some spots i wouldnt need such a strong cloth and i could also save in the resin. turns out that ive laminated it as i normally did for any other time, only to be able to peel it after the resin had cured. i lost all confidence in the cloth and never used it more, to this day i dont know what hapenned, and im sure it wasnt a problem with the resin or contaminated surfaces because im pretty anal about those instances
Tasmania was build by convicts, forced labor was normal... The work is still there, now done voluntarily! What a job, no need for the gym after a day of hard work!
got to say it shocked me u left the keel exposed ...... i can see guys sailing along smack a log in that area and delaminated in those area specially how waters flow... i would wrap it in fiber glass from stem to stern
The whole boat will be wrapped in glass, inside and outside. The inside is already done. There are two layers of glass on the hull already in this video. The glass also wraps underneath the keel. This cloth we did in this video is a layer of twill that goes over the heavy cloth. It's to minimise print though.
its *Campbell Is 52 sth time soon (maiden voyage) 🤣🙃 hope the chooks don't eat your dust I had 50 chooks for the 12 months (10men) and I had so many eggs daily i fed them to the SUB Antarctic Skuas they swallowed them whole / some smashed in the greedy faces would a made great video 🥳 2025 to youall!!
Looking good! Have you considered using a wider roller when applying paint to such a large area, you could save alot of time and effort. A guide coat to show low spots when sanding will also aid you when sanding the hull, as they use in auto painting. Just a thought.
Tarkine is really starting to come together, she looks divine, you guys are working so hard, it's amazing to watch...
Thank you Jerry! That's so kind of you to say! She really is starting to look so good, we're working hard but luckily also having lots of fun with it! Thank you for your lovely feedback, it means a lot!

your background music is almost classical and i love it.
Thank you John, I really appreciate your comment, the selection of the music is always hard, to predict if people will find it pleasing but we usually go for songs that we love and suit the situation. I'm really glad you like our choices. I personally love the music we use and I'm happy you do too 😊
I second that! Your background music is by far and away the best and least obtrusive of all the boat building channels I watch
@gregwilliams7227 thank you Greg! I really do appreciate that feedback. I'm so happy to hear this 😊
Agree with music comments. Lovely soundtrack in many episodes. It sets your channel apart. A list would be great.
What a great job you are doing on your dream boat. Set backs seem to make you both stronger.
So happy to hear it comes across like that haha we were feeling a bit defeated at the setback but got it done in the end! Thanks for following along!!

Well done both, that’s some seriously hard graft and the beautiful lines are really starting to show.

Seeing that rubrail go on gave me a definite "ahhhh" moment, the curves of Tarkine are very seductive to the eye. Bloody good job

You know, similar to the way fiberglass did on this episode. 🙃 Great channel, great project. Hope viewership is sufficiently growing.

That rub rail really makes a difference! 👍
HNY! What a transformation the blocked out single white colour made. Looking great.
120 grit! Wow, that sounds like hard work.
Keep plodding on guys. You'll get there.
Wouldn't be a proper Friday without see you both. Everything is looking good. The Viking is getting a shoulder workout, love her tattoos. Ed
How the two of you are managing a project of such monumental effort escapes me. This is truly awesome work.

One foot in front of the other together in the same direction is why you two have built a very special boat, congratulations.
As always the highlight of the week!
Jerry(below me,) just took the words right out of my mouth(well, fingers....) cheers and Happy New Year...richard Normandy
wow that is a lot of work, looking good. 😎💚💙👍👍🍺🍺🍻
Thank you Walter!! Getting it done, bit by bit!
Great to watch!. How do you stay so calm when things go wrong lol. Loved the music too. Keep up the good work.
She’s looking amazing, well done ❤
Thank you so much ❤️
so you thought you could squeeze in a little break huh?! the fiberglas thought NOT! 😅 keep it up, it'll get hard now but you're progressing well!
Hahaha yes! It sounded easy when we planned it but things have a way of working out differently 😉 it was a long process in the end to do one bit of cloth but we got it done in the end! Thanks for watching!
My chickens heard yours and say hi back.
It's looking awesome guys!
Nice one.. looking forward to your next video.
BEAUTIFUL
THANK YOU 😊
happy new year guys, looks like a good work out Matt but mind the old war injury to your shoulder, i think the Mrs is doing better at the torture board - that surface is looking real good, not an easy thing to get right when using fiber glass, but the white guide coat is a real aid, a lot of hard work for sure, but well worth it
Great work guys 🇬🇧
Looking great well done both
Both of you rock!
Great progress
Wow ! What a job !
Tardiness is really looking good,I would imagine fairing by hand with a flexi board gives you a proper feel for the finish.
Amazing the impact of the rub rail on the whitened hull. Really accentuates the boat shape. Maybe doing smaller fiberglass sections. Say half or two thirds with more hull wetting and top taping. Or full sections with one or two more persons. Torture boarding is no fun. Great that you can change up the routines and muscle groups used. Neck, shoulder, arms, back and legs must be sore.
HERMOSO BARCO !!! Un gran saludo desde latitud 34 s. Argentina !!!
Absolutely stunning workmanship.
Oh thank you so much for the kind words! ☺️
Awesome to watch this process great job
Thank you, looking beautiful.
maybee use a spray of black guide coat just a light mist that's what i've used on car repairs it shows up all the low spots?
Looking Fantastic !
Looks awesome. Thank you 👌
Супер фитнес☝️😉⛵🏅🥇
Going great people ❤
Fabulous.
Thank you!!
Love your channel, chooks and all!
tape the glass to the gunwales. and use more ressan .
Should be stapling that top edge!! Easy to remove later

Tasmania was build by convicts, forced labor was normal...
The work is still there, now done voluntarily!
What a job, no need for the gym after a day of hard work!
you really should get you the right tools to do the job rent an air compressor, and a sander
got to say it shocked me u left the keel exposed ...... i can see guys sailing along smack a log in that area and delaminated in those area specially how waters flow... i would wrap it in fiber glass from stem to stern

Try and make yourself a 'Flintstone'.
A newly built fiberglass boat with a wooden core?
I would call it a suicide.
Filling and Fairing - I would sell my mother to get someone else to do it....
its *Campbell Is 52 sth time soon (maiden voyage) 🤣🙃 hope the chooks don't eat your dust I had 50 chooks for the 12 months (10men) and I had so many eggs daily i fed them to the SUB Antarctic Skuas they swallowed them whole / some smashed in the greedy faces would a made great video 🥳 2025 to youall!!

You need put more epoxy..........
