Andy, this is a great way to keep up with your subscribers while you get healed up! I'm guessing it's gonna be somewhat difficult going through all the submissions and finding the ones that'll impact the most viewers, but thankfully your experience will shine here. I may even send in a question on my own dumpster fire 1968 Hatteras 34 that's going on its 4th year in restoration.
Andy, great way to get the viewers involved in the episodes!! I’ll be making a video today.
Andy, Great Idea if this is going to keep the videos coming from you!!! I miss seeing you work but this is the next best thing for picking up ideas, and techniques. My submission will be "How can I salvage all that I screwed up before I started watching BWT?"
My project is... I need a boat and a place to work on it.
Godspeed on your healing this year!
I will love these episodes. I think that it is a great idea to still be able to provide good content while not abusing your shoulder.
I have been watching your channel from the start. Anything you put on this channel is very interesting to me and way better than nothing!!!! I look forward to Sunday morning .The new plan sounds like a very good idea to me if it works out for you . Thank you for doing this I have learned a lot form you that I apply to my boat.
Very well said. Same for me.👍👍👍
Very cool idea! Looking forward to all the responses. You can always learn something!
I have a question for you. small boats ( fishing ) 15 - 19 ft with a rotten transom.
Would you generally
a) remove the outer skin renew core and reglass over.
b) remove inner skinn renew core and reglass over.
Assuming we follow your previous best practice of tapering joints and adding strength .
followed up by your take on why you prefer one route over the other.
Cheers Andy , look forward to hearing you you are being fixed.
Sorry to hear you’re out of commission Andy.
I think this is a great idea!
My project is buried in snow in the backyard (under tarp). I’ll be getting at in the spring. I am looking for some advice removing balsa squares flooring core. 🤞I’ll create a video when I can. Thanks
Thanks for doing this, I can’t wait.👍👍👍👍
😂you never disappoint anyone it is your videos that have given me a new design for my next project 😅so it would tell you what it have planned later but it was your video on polyester resin’s and 1708 cloth so I have done so small test and it planned on making a real life sized boat Barbie would be happy with that one 😅god blessed you and I be praying for you sitting down is the toughest part of healing from anything 😅
Sounds like it could be interesting Andy.. great idea and hopefully show some diversity with other people's projects.
Andy I have a 36CHB trawler I have a walk way down both sides. This boat only has 1 stern cleat on each corner and one on my Hydraulic anchor winch. I need to add 2 mid ship cleats and I don’t want them screwed into the cap rail I’m looking at thru house cleats. Which means I had to cut windows into the deck walk way and reinforce it. I’ll send you pics tomorrow. The rest of the fwd deck and house record are done thanks to you.
Oh, you're making comedies now. Well, my mother bought a sailboat trailer, but it came with an actual sailboat. And it is parked in my driveway now. It's raining all day and the tarp over it is creating its own koi pond. Hilarious!
What did I learn from Boatworks Today ages ago? That Chopped strand mat only works with Polyester - and why!
I have to remove the lower end of my outdrive to get it back into nuetral. I am also doing away with the old glass fuse and toggle switches and hooking up circuit breaker panel switch
I think this is a great idea Andy 👍😁
I also have to fix my headliner in the bunk
What a great idea!
Re-doing a transom on a 1977 17' Grady White with 85hp Johnson. Using 3/4 and 1/2 MG plywood. Plan to use epoxy and 1708 to glue-up the inside and polyester and chopstrand mat to finish put the old glass/gelcoat. Thoughts?
Fun idea. And hilarious example video... that 'tug' and 'crew' lol...
Looking forward to this content. I’ll definitely be submitting.
Hi Andy. I’ve got to do some overhead laminating on the inside of my boat. I need to fit and laminate over stiffeners overhead on the inside of the cabin top. I’ve watched your video where you laminated on a test panel which was at about 45 degrees. I’d be interested in a video where the lamination was on a horizontal surface directly overhead. All the best👍
I need the same position the wood ceiling on a quarter birth rotted out and the glass needs to be reinforced.
I will definitely be sending my vid out to you soon. thank you sir
Hey Andy! Putting a new deck in my lobster boat soon. Old deck beams looks to be oak. Unfortunately I can’t find good white oak anywhere. What’s your thoughts on using something different yet rugged. Also I plan on hot coating them too. Thanks!
And where do i begin😂 the word ENDLESS is the key here.
I have a 1998 21’ Carolina skiff. Floor full of water, pine tree fell on it crushed one side, and I’m going to replace/modify the transom to be able to hang a 150 on it …. Just a small job 😅
Sorry to hear you're going to be laid up for a while. I do have a few little problem gouges on my new to boat that I need to take care of, so I'll watch it it's going for ya.
Another thing I would really like to see is if it would be possible for you to do something like a seeker did and have a submission for photos only that you could at the end of your videos to see what others are working on
Andy, I have some concern regarding my hard-top project for a 39ft boat. I'm going to build two arches and lay a roof over. The question is should I make arches through the deck and glass them to the deck from both sides or would it be sufficient to clean some space on top and glass them to the deck without drilling through.
Estimated roof area is 9m², estimated total load will be 250kg.
I have an issue with the balsa coring on the foredeck of my boat. Previous owner has attempted to repair a section but it is apparent they did not support the new coring as you can press down the gelcoat above it. Unsure if I should cut out the replaced coring and start fresh.
Hey Andy, I'm about to start laying fiberglass for a floor, stringers and transom replacement. Do I need to sand between layers if I have to let it sit for a week or so? For instance, when I get the transom done, if I don't get to the floor until the next weekend, do I need to sand the transom where I will be fiberglassing onto it? Or just wipe it down with Aceteone or Styrene Monomer? I'll be using Total boat Laminating Polyester Resin
I have an 18-foot seaswirl with an OMC engine that is shot. I bought a donor boat with a new mercruser . I have been trying to find out what I need to do, and I have been told I have to plug the transom and cut another hole for the mercruser and others have said it will fit with no problems. The engines are the same 4.3 v6. The only difference in the engine is the doner engine is a vortex. My thoughts are to swap all the drivetrain. Could you please advise me. The boat and engine are in Idaho, and I'm in California recovering from a total knee replacement surgery. If you think this might be something you would like a video of, I will be up there in the spring after I heal, and I can shoot something then.
Thanks for your videos. I have learned a lot, and my confidence has come a long way, and I'm looking forward to making this boat look like new.
Andy, I have a 15ft boat that has a VERY thin floor. Probably needs replaced, it has two holes and patching doesn't seem like it will last. If I use 1/2" Plywood as the core, and this is a fiberglass river boat, what would you skin it with? 1708? Polyvinyl or Epoxy or ???... and then paint of some sort? I can put up some pix on my Guugle drive
Hey Andy I'm looking to start a hull extension on a fibreglass boat what would recommend was the best way to go about this ?
Every curve in my deck has tiny spider cracks. Should I sand back the whole deck, fair n regel coat, or drummel my life away filling with epoxy. Gel coat. So I’m excited for your help. Ok where is that go pro???
Lost fenders while traveling had to remove them. Got some chips on outside of both sides how do I fix them.
Hello mate, I’m needing to change a section of deck on my 33ft charter boat. I think it’s marine plywood and it’s got apoxy resin with metal shavings then painted. It’s somehow started rotting underneath, I noticed it from under one of the bilges. How will I get intouch for advice please 🙏
Should I follow the same core and layup schedule on my 69 Formula 233 that you used on the Bert?
I own a 65foot crab boat and i do have some projects with fiberglass but I won't be able to work on it until summer, would you still want to do this at that time. One of the project is I have two live crab tanks that are poly fiberglass and since its holding on water for extended time I would like to do a layer of epoxy overtop for better waterproofing.. i also have many more repairs to do but i would love to take you up on your offer to share knowledge and the how to.. I have done repairs before and watched many videos but not all projects are the same. Anyhow, best wishes. cheers
My project is a stratos 18 and a half foot bass boat with a rats nest of wiring to look forward to
Hi Andy, maybe you can help me. I'm restoring a hydrostream I record and and new strayers. I want to paint or gel coat the interior before I put the floor down. What would be the best product and hopefully the cheapest way to go?
I'm in!
Have you done any consultation on hull blister repairs. Asking for a friend.
I'm making a Halloween prop cauldron and I am going to use polyester resin with 4inch biaxial tape and chopped strand mat over the top of a PVC yoga ball as a form. I will be using a wax release on the ball. Any advice for a newbie and I've never worked with fiberglass... I hope I don't burn the yoga ball before I have my shape. Nobody makes big cauldron props so I am stuck trying to fabricate my own.
Hi Andy! Ryan here again. Love the idea of getting people involved. I have a pretty intensive project of my own. Probably too big for this type of series. I’ve heard that you say you do consulting work, but how do I submit a request for that? I just need some advise on starting to building a pilot house, and removing the deck. Thanks! Hope the shoulder is doing good. I’m 2 months into my recovery of shoulder surgery I had in December. It goes by faster than we think. Thanks! Love the Chanel. Always look forward to new videos!!
Hey Captn! I offer consulting through www.patreon.com/BoatworksToday :-)
Brilliant idea 💡
one thing is you need to get written permission to use people's video and possibly for them to not make it public or there might be copyright issues.. also not liable for any payment or damages etc.
I'll be filming my question soon...
Some video's to do in your workshop..
Safety and layout etc..
Tool's..
Technique's..
Maintenance..
Sharpening..
Electrics.. (carbon fibre no power tools..💥🤬)
btw ... a tennis ball or pipe insulation on the corners and edges of the air filter box 🤕
Yup, that will be addressed via email followup :-)
Hi Andy, love your videos and have a project that I dont see much or at all. I have a 1999 key west 2220 center console, and have cut out the stepped dash, and want to install a piece of 1/2 inch coosa board to mount dual screens. Have some ideas but would love your ideas and help since this is my first fiberglass project of this size?
@@kennyboggs6780
Hopefully he will see this thread...
Like me.. it's time to get filming 📽️
1970 fiberglass Slickcraft
Yea, just uploaded my first UA-cam video. Andy, what have you just created? Ever hear of Frankenstein's Monster?🙃
Hey Andy, what do you use for door skin material when making patterns and where can I buy it?? I want to pattern a transom to cut new wood.
I use 1/4" Luan from home depot or lowes about $25 for a 4x8 sheet. I rip it down to 3" strips, and use a hot glue gun to glue the pieces together fast
@@dannyjones3840 Ok. I thought it was more of a light weight cardboard type material.
Upgrade Marine AC from 89 Cruisair 12 & 16 k systems to something a bit more modern or upgraded PC boards/ Panels
Andy I am redoing a classic sailboat I have some video up. I have a severe osmosis problem can you maybe review and give me some pointers constructive criticism.
"ANDY, I JUST BOUGHT THIS BOAT....AND....................."
I'm sorry to hear that you're going to be laid up for a while. I thought that given your facilities and equipment maybe you could have people actually bring their boat to you and you could teach and record while they do the learning and work. Maybe turn the mezzanine into an apartment and you'd have a residential school/shop that you could run well into your golden years.
Since moving to Michigan the shop is now on my home property; not comfortable putting my address out there :-)
😃👍👏👏👏
haha 8:03 funny
What process is used to fill small holes that go right through a vertical surface say where old rod holders etc so the filler doesn’t run out of the other side. Thanks. 🚤🦘🇦🇺👍
