I love the soundtrack for your videos. One time is some hard techno, other times it is Chris Rea - The Blue Caffe melody ;D I really enjoy watching your work! Take care ;)
👁👁👁……Just want to say I have been following your channel since the beginning….You did a awesome job on your boat & your editing is unreal…Keep making videos my man ….Tommy …St.Petersburge Florida…….Yyyyyyeeeeewwwww
I've watched your vlogg so ever since you got your 1st boat and I really have enjoyed every single vlogg you have done. Thanks for sharing and stay safe and well. Terry from the UK
I have just finished watching the first 50 episodes in a day and a half. Need I say more about how much I enjoy them? Your dream, youth, foolishness 😀, skill and sheer tenacity is astounding. Looking forward to the next 50 and beyond. Thank you
Always cut with a guide. Get anything with a straight edge and clamp it to the board to run your tool against. Only cut free hand if you really need to. Nice work! Love the videos!
With Bavarian heritage I am German enough to appreciate seeing everything done with mechanical precision from the carpentry to the filming to the music, but sadly I am no longer German (or young) enough to actually achieve it in my own household handiwork. The videos are excellent. Thank you..
It is a delight to watch your work and you have done a great job on the cupboard. I think the 22mm is a touch overkill but if someone is giving you free 22mm plywood - why not use it.😉🤣👍
I look forward to your videos. Great to see how much progress you’ve made since starting this journey not too long ago. With all of the boats you now have, I know I’ll see many more great videos My Second Boat, My Third Boat, and so on videos.
Very nicely done. I am amazed at how straight your cuts are without using a guide board clamped to your work piece so the saw has a straight line to follow. It's all going to look very nice when you're done.
Watching your channel with great interest! You're doing wonders with your jigsaw, although a circular saw and a guide rail could have made your life easier. You can close imperfections with filler made with sawdust and glue and sand over. You won't even know yourself. Viel Glück mit der restlichen Arbeit 👍
Hey man, I love your channel and the way you are figuring out how to dow things yourself! I think everyone that watches your progress with all the boat projects are keen to provide some advice, so here's my two pence.. masking tape over a line that you're going to cut with the jigsaw does wonders to prevent the wood from splitting, just re-draw your line on top of the tape before you cut. Also, the shelves that have a tendency to swivel can be kept in check with one screw coming from behind the vertical wood partition into each shelf. Keep up the great content! Btw I work in a shipyard and I do major refit and repairs daily, but really enjoy it when I come home and you have a new video out. Keep it up - cheers! ⛵🚤🛥️🛶⛴️
Nice to see you so busy, it reminds me of my father who welded his own wadden cruiser together, but he didn't know much about boat building and welded the sheet steel to the trusses in one go, with the result that the metal started to pull and it became a bobble boat and afterwards the cavities were filled with putty and then had 4 tons of putty on it by weight. I used to say jokingly if we collide with another boat and all the filler falls off, the culprit will go into cardiac arrest. As an engine there was a 100HP Bedford that was bought as a truck and when we were still children we were allowed to professionally disassemble everything which was subsequently sold for an x amount, afterwards a second Bedford came because after I know how many inland waterways have sailed, Dad also wanted to go fishing so close to Zee and just had to add a second engine, also 100HP, just to be a bit more sure. Dad made stainless steel screws with a spare screw hanging on the wall here, including the ship's bell, lifebuoy, and more that belonged to Dad. It was a clumsy ship, 10.50 m long, but with that second engine the whole bow came up and often because of the engine roar at the lock people were asked what was under the hat, remarkably more than larger boats like us had. Afterwards he built a sailing yacht of 12 meters and could suffice with an 80HP engine and this chine chine cruiser glided through the waves. Unfortunately the photos are discolored, the negatives are missing otherwise I could have put it on UA-cam. For the time being, I'm busy enough with four channels, so that's something to worry about later.
Invest in a circular saw with a guide for making straight cuts. With a fine tooth blade you will have little or no tearing on the edges. You will also have nice straight edges requiring less sanding.
@@kimkimkim2634 The blade is going to be more important than the brand of tool you buy. I wouldn't spend $400 on a circular saw I wouldn't be using every day for the next several years.
Also I have had good luck firmly pressing a piece of masking tape onto the board over the cut area then marking and cutting to help prevent splitting. Also 2nd getting a circular saw and the best blade that you can afford
A 4.5" (don't know the metric conversion) battery powered circular saw would be a nice option to your tools. VERY handy for the type of work you're doing. You could likely free-hand that 45-degree edge without a guide. A jigsaw is great for cutting internal circles, etc but not that great for long/straight cuts.
A guide for his saw would be good or he could very simply clamp down a straight edge (ruler) and use that. I do it all the time to make straight cuts. No shame in it.
Any chance of a personal contact?couple of years ago I got boatstruck...honestly I don't have much of the nautical experience.. but I'm determined to find me a floating home...save or build me my home has become my main go... I have found in your channel inspiration inspiration and just trying to reach out to more experienced people to share with me they knowledge...if you find the time to give any tips or suggestions will be highly appreciated as I appreciate your work...im currently in Brussels saving a house which as been a what to finance the dream...best wishes...
Excelent job, well done, dead read the remarks so far, only one remark to add, as you run a diesel engine under each nut a spring ring should be used as nuts will tend to turn loose due the intensive vibration diesel engines develop.
P.S. Nice job.....looks great and if you have not tried it yet that plywood takes stain and varnish very well and is beautiful. I have done two interiors using it. And it's my birthday
This is stressful at times, you work around your workbench very close to the corner-edge of your platform. One day I expect to hear a shout for help & then a large splash. 🏊🏼♂️
I was beginning to fret that you weren't going to paint that wood until the end when you showed next episode treating it. Relief! I thought of numerous ways to fix the "tipping" problem for those two shelves-- most of them very unattractive. (Maybe some 1/4-round molding on top back and sides? I dunno...). I'm sure you will come up with something brilliant and "clean". Anyway, your solution for the panel that will hold the 30-Kilo power module was genius! Love your vids, man. Keep up the good work!
A small 'L' bracket in place of one of the supports in the corner will prevent the shelf from tipping. Usually those kind of supports are only used where the shelf is supported on three sides. I was amazed that you used the thickest plywood I have ever seen, when cheap panelboard would have been strong enough.
Someone already mentioned the circular saw, great investment that. It's the finishing touches that really complete a job. Great job though buddy with the tools to hand 👍🏴
pretty nice to see how far uve come since the first episode! thats some neat craftsman ship and nice that u also show ur mistakes and how u gonna prevent em in the future!:) and always use the right drilbits required for the material!!!
Love your channel! I think you will need to add an edge all the way around your shelves as when the boat rolls or vibrates things will move around and fall off. Second, you will need to add "Loctite" or Nieaprene nuts to the front bolds on your first upright wood piece as vibrations over time will cause the nuts to loosen.
Hi, I suggest you put a washer in the nuts w/ contact with the plywood. This way you can fix it better, with more pressure. The natural boat vibration will be spread by the washer more evenly, the nut will do more damage due to its form & less contact surface with the plywood.
You're doing a great job. I like watching your videos. Next time try using masking tape or painters tape on your cuts. Run a piece of tape wear your cut is going to be. It should help with the splintering.
Gday from Australia just a idea ok to stop the shelves tipping up use another shelf mount cut the barb off and fit it to the back corner on top of the shelf .
I think someone else has mentioned it but if you take a slim triangular strip of wood and glue it of have it tight in the corner above the shelves and under the one above, then your new shelves won't be able to tip forward. Loving your videos btw been watching since you started 👍
Awesome work mate! Love the progress and all the hard work you have done! Perhaps a circular hand saw would be easier than a hacksaw? It also has an angle on it..you could also use a mitresaw
Nice work, i like your trouble shooting skills... Here is a Pro tip when working with Stainless Hardware, ALWAYS USE ANTI-SEIZE NICKLE OR COPPER BASED... stainless will Gaul without it...
Great job! For the shelves you might want to just screw them thru the side. Or just attach a couple of aluminum angle, screw it on bellow the shelf and to the sides! Much stronger option if you plan to put any weight on the shelves!
Rather than throw the shelve away that suffered the blow out from the drill, one way to address the blowout (if its not extremely bad ) is to take some of the dust generated by your sander or jigsaw ( same material ) mix it with some clear wood setting glue into a putty like consistency and use this to fill in the hole. Let it dry and a quick sanding and you can re-drill the hole
Looking good but I would put some vertical supports on the corners of those shelves. Looks to me once you put something heavy on the corner, the shelve will tip. I would also put a railing as well so nothing slides off.
You could use the same 10 mm dowel pins and attach them along the back side of each shelf into the main structure with using thicken epoxy to glue it in place.
Hi, to prevent the two shelves from pivoting use a rigid steel strap angle fixed to the inner face and coming through to the under side of the two shelves via slots cut into the mid-wall. Screw fix up from below and there will be nothing visible from above.
I enjoy watching your videos and the progress you are making. I would like to know what/why you left the large space behind the charger/inverter? I am wondering why you are mounting the Victron in the wheelhouse. Could you mount it below deck and give yourself more storage there? To keep the shelves from tipping you could mount a small block of wood in the corner under the shelf and with short screws come up from the bottom.
Good job again. When you cut, always invert face/back sides, as the lower cut side gets messy, but not the top or indeed use a sacrificial additional layer underneath srongly tightened. I've been wondering for tome time, are you staying near the Große Eiswerderbrücke ? I'm always amazed that ou're allowed to stay there in the middle of the area (Havel ?) without needing piles of permits, licences, etc. (or maybe you talked about that in one of the earliest viedos, it rings a bell). Here in France, the anchoring is very very very regulated and you must have a special concessions from the authorities to park any boat on the public domain (if more then 2 weeks). And they go with the name of owner, which means that when you buy a boat already allowed, nothing guaratees that you'll keep the allowance for the spot afterwards. You may have to move the boat anyway. Bad news usually. And having a spot near/inside Paris, forget about it. If you're not an famous actor of from a family of a known politician, you'll never get it. Keep on going with the good job. As soon as you'll be done with your boat, (if ever!), there is plenty to do on mine, you'll be welcome in france ! cheers.
ha, and by the ay, you have a bad influence on me. I'm going to visit another boat myself this week-end. One was not enough, as you showed me the way to building a fleet ! lol.
Put a screw into your shelves from behind to stop them from tipping/falling out. You can always sink them in and use some wood filler to cover them if needed. Or, dowel them.
I know it is tempting but the jig saw is really not for cutting straight lines. Get a round saw for cutting straight lines. You will get a better result.
As always a well shown episode clearly explained. I have to admit I get a little distracted by the aparent movement of the background...well not that the background is moving so much as your boat and platform are. Will you take the boat out of the water during the coldest monts?
If you put a 20x20mm wooden profile in the bottom corner of the polygonal shelves you avoid the risk of overturning. You can find also a quarter round one for a better result.
you could add screws through the side into the edge where the dowls are to pull it up real tight or better still as you have access behind the board use pocket hole fixing for the pull up then you don't see them
The one way to use a jig saw an to maintain a straight cut is to clamp a straight edge on to the board and then use the straight edge as a guide to make a straight cut and invest in a finer cutting blade. but as Bruce Fraser suggested borrow a table saw and invest in proper fine tooth blade. Is the best remedy. U can glue a piece of corner trim in the corner to keep the shelves from tipping.
Your freehand jigsaw cuts look pretty good (for being freehand), but if you want better results, use a guiding rail that you clamp on. Does wonders with straight cuts.
I would consider a "computer case fan" (or two) for that area especially if you plan to completely enclose it. Even if you consider vents, you likely need to move air through using fans.
to Stop tear out, Run painters tape along the line you want to cut, remark the line and then cut , this will assist in the amount of tear out, I hope you havbe leant this over the past year :) BTW The Circular saw can do the same and quicker and cleaner
I love the soundtrack for your videos. One time is some hard techno, other times it is Chris Rea - The Blue Caffe melody ;D I really enjoy watching your work! Take care ;)
👁👁👁……Just want to say I have been following your channel since the beginning….You did a awesome job on your boat & your editing is unreal…Keep making videos my man ….Tommy …St.Petersburge Florida…….Yyyyyyeeeeewwwww
I loved that short clip at the end when you were filming the surrounding area on your boat! Thanks
Great job looks really nice I like how you show your mistakes very refreshing
I've watched your vlogg so ever since you got your 1st boat and I really have enjoyed every single vlogg you have done. Thanks for sharing and stay safe and well. Terry from the UK

That's a top shelf shelf.
Always cut with a guide. Get anything with a straight edge and clamp it to the board to run your tool against. Only cut free hand if you really need to.
Nice work! Love the videos!
nothing wrong with your wood work skills, nice job. You really have the ventillation sorted in your cut shop too.
You do amazing work for someone using a jigsaw!
I know for sure that I can never afford to buy a boat, but for some reason your videos inspire and delight. Go on and let it work out for you.
Music choice has been perfect since the very first episodes of the refit, plus the bonus shots are a gem! Keep it up. Great content!
With Bavarian heritage I am German enough to appreciate seeing everything done with mechanical precision from the carpentry to the filming to the music, but sadly I am no longer German (or young) enough to actually achieve it in my own household handiwork. The videos are excellent. Thank you..
Heaps of great detail and tips in this video. Thank you!
Very cool intro! Enjoy your vids from the beginning very much. Keep on the good work on your boats and vids.
Your skill level has improved since day one.
Great video. At 19:10 there's a great sunset view across the water ... but whats that ... another vessel ... have you bought a sailing boat now! 🤓🖌
I was hoping for an answer to that as well.
My 1st Fleet is looking great. Keep going
Details, details, details. Well done!
You sir are a patient man...I am so enamored with your videos - addictive!
It is a delight to watch your work and you have done a great job on the cupboard. I think the 22mm is a touch overkill but if someone is giving you free 22mm plywood - why not use it.😉🤣👍

Just had a relaxation of 20.04 min 😄thanks for the beautiful video,keep up the good work💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻
This boat will be amazing when finished! Keep up the great work!

Either you have invited another mariner to your island, or you've acquired yet another boat, this one with masts and sails.
Nice to see you so busy, it reminds me of my father who welded his own wadden cruiser together, but he didn't know much about boat building and welded the sheet steel to the trusses in one go, with the result that the metal started to pull and it became a bobble boat and afterwards the cavities were filled with putty and then had 4 tons of putty on it by weight.

Invest in a circular saw with a guide for making straight cuts. With a fine tooth blade you will have little or no tearing on the edges. You will also have nice straight edges requiring less sanding.
Indeed. Treat yourself with a nice Festool circular saw with a nice guide. You won' regret your investment.
@@kimkimkim2634 The blade is going to be more important than the brand of tool you buy. I wouldn't spend $400 on a circular saw I wouldn't be using every day for the next several years.

You might screw the shelf’s in place from the back side of the vertical decider. Easy 😁
Great videos! Like it 👍
Hey there... love your energie and have followed your work from episode one...
Any chance of a personal contact?couple of years ago I got boatstruck...honestly I don't have much of the nautical experience.. but I'm determined to find me a floating home...save or build me my home has become my main go...

How about a triangular stick (glued opright) in the back corner for the shelfes, also closing the minor "gap" between the two plywood sheets.
Excelent job, well done, dead read the remarks so far, only one remark to add, as you run a diesel engine under each nut a spring ring should be used as nuts will tend to turn loose due the intensive vibration diesel engines develop.
Cracking vid, cant wait for the next one. thank you.

use painters tape to stop the wood from fraying when you cut
No viewing problems here for me.
Great vlog thanks.

If you use a piece of TRIM in the back corner of the shelves it will stop the instability. Loving the journey
Good job Zlatan!
Love the new shelves, I would leave the front floating and add trim to the back corner to prevent the rocking. Love your determination!
A small 'L' bracket in place of one of the supports in the corner will prevent the shelf from tipping. Usually those kind of supports are only used where the shelf is supported on three sides.

Great video as always! Keep up the good work!
You could have put a diagonal brace under that part of the shelf back to the bulkhead 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧 looking good

like always nice jobb mister doe 👍😎
Lovely work
Make wood plugs to cover screw holes using dowels
For clean hole with wood drill bit, pore first with reverse to make clean first cut, then drill forward with the same wood drill bit.
Gday from Australia just a idea ok to stop the shelves tipping up use another shelf mount cut the barb off and fit it to the back corner on top of the shelf .
Looking good!
Would recommend that you invest in a Kreig jig to attach shelves...makes them very sturdy.
I think someone else has mentioned it but if you take a slim triangular strip of wood and glue it of have it tight in the corner above the shelves and under the one above, then your new shelves won't be able to tip forward.
Loving your videos btw been watching since you started 👍
Awesome work mate! Love the progress and all the hard work you have done! Perhaps a circular hand saw would be easier than a hacksaw? It also has an angle on it..you could also use a mitresaw
I love love love this video channel
Nice work!
Nice work, i like your trouble shooting skills... Here is a Pro tip when working with Stainless Hardware, ALWAYS USE ANTI-SEIZE NICKLE OR COPPER BASED... stainless will Gaul without it...
Nice stuff, always
I'm thinking you can get a small short Greek Atlas Gartenzwerg to hold up your shelving, yes? With a red hat and lederhosen. That would be epic 👍
Great job! For the shelves you might want to just screw them thru the side. Or just attach a couple of aluminum angle, screw it on bellow the shelf and to the sides! Much stronger option if you plan to put any weight on the shelves!
Good idea for the screws. I think coming from the backside with screws would give a cleaner look.
Good work!
Job well done 👏
Rather than throw the shelve away that suffered the blow out from the drill, one way to address the blowout (if its not extremely bad ) is to take some of the dust generated by your sander or jigsaw ( same material ) mix it with some clear wood setting glue into a putty like consistency and use this to fill in the hole. Let it dry and a quick sanding and you can re-drill the hole
Looking good but I would put some vertical supports on the corners of those shelves. Looks to me once you put something heavy on the corner, the shelve will tip. I would also put a railing as well so nothing slides off.
Clamp a straight edge on your plywood and use that to guide your saw.
Love your videos! Just put masking or painters tape over the wood to be drilled or cut, stops fraying
You could use the same 10 mm dowel pins and attach them along the back side of each shelf into the main structure with using thicken epoxy to glue it in place.
I see them shelf falling off. Have you thought about using a Kreg Jig and screws?
Most Excellent!
honestly, buy a MIG welding machine! they are not that expensive but the ease of use is IMMENSE compared to stickwelding :)
Hi, to prevent the two shelves from pivoting use a rigid steel strap angle fixed to the inner face and coming through to the under side of the two shelves via slots cut into the mid-wall. Screw fix up from below and there will be nothing visible from above.
I enjoy watching your videos and the progress you are making. I would like to know what/why you left the large space behind the charger/inverter? I am wondering why you are mounting the Victron in the wheelhouse. Could you mount it below deck and give yourself more storage there? To keep the shelves from tipping you could mount a small block of wood in the corner under the shelf and with short screws come up from the bottom.
To keep the boards from moving up. Just drill a small hole into the first board to go through the self board to hold it in place.
Good job again. When you cut, always invert face/back sides, as the lower cut side gets messy, but not the top or indeed use a sacrificial additional layer underneath srongly tightened.
I've been wondering for tome time, are you staying near the Große Eiswerderbrücke ? I'm always amazed that ou're allowed to stay there in the middle of the area (Havel ?) without needing piles of permits, licences, etc. (or maybe you talked about that in one of the earliest viedos, it rings a bell). Here in France, the anchoring is very very very regulated and you must have a special concessions from the authorities to park any boat on the public domain (if more then 2 weeks). And they go with the name of owner, which means that when you buy a boat already allowed, nothing guaratees that you'll keep the allowance for the spot afterwards. You may have to move the boat anyway. Bad news usually. And having a spot near/inside Paris, forget about it. If you're not an famous actor of from a family of a known politician, you'll never get it. Keep on going with the good job. As soon as you'll be done with your boat, (if ever!), there is plenty to do on mine, you'll be welcome in france ! cheers.
ha, and by the ay, you have a bad influence on me. I'm going to visit another boat myself this week-end. One was not enough, as you showed me the way to building a fleet ! lol.
You can also use Masking tape on both sides, which will stop breakout.
Put a screw into your shelves from behind to stop them from tipping/falling out. You can always sink them in and use some wood filler to cover them if needed. Or, dowel them.
Very nice.
I know it is tempting but the jig saw is really not for cutting straight lines. Get a round saw for cutting straight lines. You will get a better result.
As always a well shown episode clearly explained. I have to admit I get a little distracted by the aparent movement of the background...well not that the background is moving so much as your boat and platform are. Will you take the boat out of the water during the coldest monts?
If you put a 20x20mm wooden profile in the bottom corner of the polygonal shelves you avoid the risk of overturning.
You can find also a quarter round one for a better result.
Nice work. : )
Use some 1/2 round stock in the corners to keep the shelves from falling.
you could add screws through the side into the edge where the dowls are to pull it up real tight or better still as you have access behind the board use pocket hole fixing for the pull up then you don't see them
Try Lamelo Flachdübel to fix the shelves. Nice work.
The one way to use a jig saw an to maintain a straight cut is to clamp a straight edge on to the board and then use the straight edge as a guide to make a straight cut and invest in a finer cutting blade. but as Bruce Fraser suggested borrow a table saw and invest in proper fine tooth blade. Is the best remedy. U can glue a piece of corner trim in the corner to keep the shelves from tipping.
Your freehand jigsaw cuts look pretty good (for being freehand), but if you want better results, use a guiding rail that you clamp on. Does wonders with straight cuts.
Just wondering if there'll be enough room around the converter for cooling. Great series by the way!
I would consider a "computer case fan" (or two) for that area especially if you plan to completely enclose it. Even if you consider vents, you likely need to move air through using fans.
Yea was wondering the same. Its a little bit silly that he remade the board bc of "bad exit" holes.
If you use a straight edge as a saw guide your cuts will be perfectly straight.
A piece of 1/4 round molding in the corner will prevent tipping.
to Stop tear out, Run painters tape along the line you want to cut, remark the line and then cut , this will assist in the amount of tear out, I hope you havbe leant this over the past year :) BTW The Circular saw can do the same and quicker and cleaner
If you ever travel to the thousand islands NY USA with your boat stop by and see us ! At wellesely island!
