I MAY BE OUT OF MY DEPTH HERE ! - Boat Carpentry on Catamaran Ep 329

- Cosmetic appeal versus, functionality is the order of the day when building a boat. I am desperately trying to strike the balance as we intend to live on board, and the niceties of home will have to play a role in our long term cruising plans. The internal fitout is in full swing and I am totally delighted with our choice of timber trim as the remainder of the boat is fully composite ensuring a rot proof, squeak free vessel.

I've been watching for a few years now and still haven't figured out how you keep everything straight. What has been done and what still needs done, when to do it, and when not to. Your both brilliant and I'm so impressed with you and Janet's skills. ✌️😊
I have a system and it always goes,awry when I get to work, I just keep doing stuff and it is coming together.Rossco
@@LifeOnTheHulls It sure is coming together. ✌
The most important is to don't stop. The software in head is freshly updated every day and you planning ahead. The problems begin when you take brake when you don't have time or you go for holiday. After this you push the ball from beginning until gets speed again and things will come together again. Many people don't realize one important thing and that is the boat project can take years! The circumetas can change from year to year. Priorities can change, health, financial... it is a long term project. That is why many people don't finish it.
Exactly, it is a serious commitment, financially personally, mentally and has some serious consequences if not followed through.We are nearing the end, but we love it,to be honest.Rossco
As a master woodworker you are doing a great job. I wish I could see your boat in person but I am in Texas. Keep up the good work, Michael
Thanks Michael,that is quite the compliment.Really appreciate you watching.Ross
The Tassie Oak looks nice and warm better than the blonde style of look the new boats have, push some of the saw dust into the bigger gaps or mix with some epoxy to make it all look solid. The finishing touches are really lifting the completed look mate. Full steam ahead Rossco and Janet.
Thanks Nick, it really is all coming together nicely, trying to get my mitres and joinery tight but there is always a small amount of discrepancy when working with non plumb modules and straight wood. Cheers Rossco
I loved your comment about dad
I am reasonably good with metal but when it comes to wood all I make is sawdust!!
As usual your doing a great job
She’s looking good mate !!
Thanks Colin, I loved my dad, he was a beautiful man with a magic heart and I miss him dearly. I wouldn't however let him near the woodwork.
Safe idea to have a door within a door for all them switches. They could shut down a system at a perfect storm moment.
Counter looks great. Yes your fibre glassing skills are your best but it's like when you do your own wallpapering, You know every tiny floor and mishap rip. Someone else comes in genrally pans around and is like wow, looks great, good job!
I like the wood look. It transformed the area. ❤ Just so fiddly and many moving marts to get to that end look.
Lots of woodwork in real time, almost done now. Rossco
@@LifeOnTheHulls sweet. Not only fibreglass, electric’s, motets, heat and cooling…now wood work. Much respect Rossco.
More triumphs for the "Can do Guy" 😉 Amazing
Thanks mate
You should add access doors for the electric room behind the cushions of the table bench. Make your life much easier. Since they are hidden behind the cushion they can be flush mount fiberglass panels with quick release latches. Quite possible to do any electrical work on that end laying down on a nice cushion!
Exactly right, I have cut holes behind the settee backrest, and can access most of the electrics but not quite all.Cheers
Wow, it really does give the place a nice pop of warmth, very pretty!
Starting to feel a bit more homely.Rossco
The hidden electrical door is a great way to hide the switches and door
I thought it was a good idea, not so sure now Ash, time will tell.
@@LifeOnTheHulls that’s an intriguing responce? 🤨….
I love trim work. Massive amounts of work to get there, A little trim, and it looks like you transformed everything.
Thanks Gerald, the woodwork has been an ongoing dimension, the work has been something to reckon with.Ross.
I will just recommend to cover everything what is done. Little bit epoxy on your hands will come everywhere on the door handles..you will by surprised. I have epoxy on the clears- no idea. Also after all the amazing heavy work even with building a house many people rush with finishes but in this stage they should take extra time and care. If you find your self in position when you make something and you say hmm I will change that later that is the time what I meant!
A small point perhaps, but since you had to glue up those large panels, made up from what appears to be glued up boards... some economy might have been achieved by cutting the main area of the counter top from the whole and applying smaller, discretely cut (wastage from other sections?) to fill out the "appendages"?
Looks great regardless 😀
Yes a bit wasteful, but the grain is consistant, I was able to use almost all in smaller tops throughout the boat in anycase .Rossco
Sweet as! 6 years hey.. I was thinking of building a 45 footer, now I think I might just refit my 30 footer, Stella job mate, seriously... great work👍
Yes mate snd that is pretty much 4 years full time 60hours a week.Ridiculos amount of work
Out if your depth Roscco? Negative. You got this nailed. Looks awesome seeing your vision come together. Will make Janet fluffy for sure! Stay safe sir!
Cheers Jeremy, gotta make it look nice or there may be a mutiny.Rossco
Jeezuz I almost shat myself! You legend Rosco! It still seems weird to see you wordworking. 😆 But you're killing it!!!! Keep on keeping on. You'll be cruising in no time! Cheers mate!
Hilarious mate, better put your thick undies on.Dont want to be responsible for that mess.Rossco
@@LifeOnTheHulls Rubber pants would likely be a better choice!
Looking fantastic Russ
Thanks Mike
Good episode Ross
I was wondering a long time ago how you would go with the joinery work but it looks like you've nailed it.
Your woodworking makes the booat interior look sooo finiced!! Nice work u 2 !! and friends..
Thanks mate, really appreciate you watching .
looking beautiful !! .. well done
Thanks Shaun.
Looks Great! Might want to round those 90s off, hate for you too fall into one in bad water!
Rounded off for sure mate, Thanks for following.Rossco
Just thought I would mention, wood working framing standard is within 1/8" ,cabinet making is within 1/32" but this is different. Boat building standardvsays the wood work needs to be within the boat.
Classic stuff, That is hilarious.
Looking good mate👍
Thanks 👍
Ross. Those sharp corners on the counter top should be softened. That’s a bruise waiting to happen
All rounded gently now, It was on my mind.
maybe too late, but consider rounded corners for any place you may be bumping into while moving around
All rounded and smoothed off to a degree, had to strike a balance between ease of working and cosmetic.Pretty good now it's all done.
I think you could have layed out that Frig top using just one of those boards. It would have saved you that full length joint.🤔🤔
Yes, but the grain would been weird I reckon, I like to keep my grain running the same boatwide, it is an ocd think of mine.Cheers mate Ross
Very nice work Ross
The wood makes a huge difference to the interior.
Have a greate weekend,
All the best.
Thanks Martin, big week ahead, back from a break and right into it.Ross
I've done metal fab for 20 years. I have to say your wood work looks great. But thats also coming from a guy thats like your dad. 😂 So take from that what you will.
Appreciate the sentiment, metal guy.
Well I am stunned, 17mm solid wood….. wow that is heavy… Did you consider using foam cored doors with a 1.5mm timber laminate? , more stable and much lighter. Are you concerned with the rising waterline? With all the layers of glass, and the lining panels, the overall weight must be adding up. Fingers crossed it all turns out fine, cheers Rustie.
Rustie,All doors throughout boat are foam core, except three small kitchen cabinets doors where it matters, 5 small bench tops and the fridge top are solid. The compromise has been dealt with in all cabinetry and cabin soles that is not mdf, plywood, or chipboard and entirely foam core.Cabin doors are sheathed hollowcore doors, so worth the effort for the finish quality in a cruising boat.Not overly concerned about waterline, last boat was 10 tonnes, and for 42 foot boat, very good compared to production boat of similar size at 12-14.Even Seawind 1260 Sold as 8 is actually almost 13 when complete, I will be happy at 9 dry.11 wet
Thanks for the reply, Ross, I hope it goes to plan. It sure is gonna be a beautiful looking cat with a fantastic finish cheers Rustie.
Timber looks good for a kayak builder marvellous what we can turn our hands too. I’m busy cutting big hulls in the deck for the hatches. And designing the window shapes a lot of bloody curves to deal with. Did your son draw up your electrical system as looking for some help in designing it for my cat. Hope you are enjoying the holiday cheers greg
I will send you a link tonight to our spec on victron site.
🤔💡 I was told to always measure twice cut one. 😊 As for tools, take more than you need.
Best advice ever Steve.
I was always told to look multiple times But not comment....but the smirk & the raised eye browse gave it away😂😂
Are you going to soften the mitred corners of the counter trim ?
The Tassie oak work is looking great!
Thanks Kev.
Hey Rossco, great episode as always, but one thing though :
I'm watching another Australian boat build (Brupeg), and in a recent video, they planned on placing electrical
stuff on an hinged small door, but they had to change their plan because apparently, that wouldn't have gone
through inspection as nothing electrical can be placed on moving parts.
Maybe something to look into ?
That's valid on land too, not just boating. If your door has electronics, you need a special type of connector loom, with a special type of wire that has a flexible sheath. Extra cable, proper fixing points... unless you're forced to have it there (like warning lights, emergency stop) it's usually not even worth considering.
Beautiful boat.
Rosco .. Remember .. You also need to put on primer coat and bottom paint to protect the hull
Yep mate, epoxy barrier coat will hide all of my good work.
'Those that can make, do...those that can't make, teach, those that can't teach, complain.' You've proven that you can do, so don't second guess yourself on the wood work, it looks fine so far...I was a Commercial Electrician, but had great fun rebuilding the interior of our sailboat, and I think it came out fine, especially the Parquet dining table with disappearing brass base clamps for the Aladdin gas mantle kero lamp... Let your imagination take hold and create the home you and Janet will enjoy for decades to come!
The counter looks great!
Thanks Noel.
The woodwork will look so good.
Thanks Gordon, coming along nicely.
The wood work brings out an extra dimension to your new floating home. Well done Ross. Has anyone electrically connected the anchor chain to the mast during a lightning storm and put out some chain for extra grounding? We are having more electrical storms in the upper Midwest of the USA. So I just put in a whole house surge protector. Anything like that for a boat?
That us a very interesting thought,it would definitely blow the Windlass and perhaps back to the electrical system, will do some investigations on that, Wouldn't be good if you were sailing.Ross
Lookin great mate!
Thanks Anthony.
👍
Make Zach suffer getting in and out that narrow door, then, when he's finished, widen it by 100mm!
Step away from the chisels mate! You're still going well from that wooden boat man in The Med.
Thanks Peter, DEep into the woodwork now no going back.
It's not your depth you're out of Rossco, lol. You sir, are a machine.
Love it mate, work never ends, Cheers Ken, Rossco
What are the odds of being hit by lightning twice?
Pretty good I reckon Kev.
A Mohawk sailor. Now that is one for the record books. i thought that as a Chippawa i might be original. wood working looks great ||Rossco. Ttfn
