While I miss the beer/word of the week, i do enjoy the slightly longer format we get to see. Thanks for being so entertaining and letting me live wood boat ownership vicariously through your content.
Hi Peter, my old builder friend taught me to dip my lag bolts in wax before installation. He used a wax ring for a toilet and just dragged the threads through the wax. It really makes the bolts sink in much easier and provides some protection for the wood inside. I wonder if that technique would be good in a wooden boat?
I restored a shed load of portholes for various customers here in the UK. We have a vapour blaster which makes light work of getting the surface clean and looking lovely. They still take a few hours each. If you want a nice standard. But of course my customers make faces as they had to remove them in the first place. During the cleaning process it's lovely seeing the marking magically appear etc.. great video!!
Somehow I was “unsubscribed” from your channel, Peter! I doubt you missed me! I’m almost glad about it. I have a few hours of catching up to do over the Christmas holidays! Nice unexpected Christmas gift!
When you have a hard to find low pressure gasket, you can always use black silicon rubber 'surgical' tube. It's cheap and comes in many diameters. A bit of instant gel glue on the join at the bottom and you have an effective custom gasket! You can stow several widths on board for emergency gaskets, even works on the engine...
The tug boats I work on, use spools of gasket material for portholes. The gaskets get cut to length. They aren’t split, per se. The cut should be diagonal and placed at top dead center. If it isn’t cracked and stiff ,it can go back in. Hope this helps someone. Ed. Beware polished brass is an infectious disease, with incredible powers to enthrall the poor mariner. The only cure is brutal painting over. They look great though.
Peter, watching this I had a couple of thoughts, if you were to cut a hole into the chain locker bulkhead and build a box on the back side of it, that would give you a good place to stash the solenoids for the windlass. The other thought I had was for your boat number, rather than skipping the planking there, what if you made a spacer that is as thick as the space behind the boards, and cut a 45 bevel on it and abutted that to the number, then landed the planking on the spacer rather than right at the number, that would allow it to be seen, and make the overhead look more finished.
99% Boric acid can be found in most big box pest control departments. It is becoming harder to find and more expensive in the lower 48, but can be readily purchased on line. It is nuclear for anything with an exoskeleton. I use it frequently in rehabs on the interior of walls prior to closing them up. 40+ years dabbling with commercial residential and I have NEVER had a need for "Professional Pest Control". 🤣🤣🤣
That bit of trouble you had beginning the conduit makes it seem that when you put 2 conduits behind the shower you had a horse shoe where the sun don't shine.😎
Hmm, Ain't that so yo are so close to Cascadia epicenter that you could not excape even being ready sitting in your LandRover? If that Grand Hotel or whatever ist name was, if is up after quake, up there -is there is some bar in upper floors? Good wiew of natures powers?
Thank you Peter and Andrea for honoring me as a VIP crew member based on support I provided many years ago. Although I have continued to be a subscriber and have rarely missed and liked an episode since that time, I chose to find other UA-cam content creators to whom generous support may have helped provide affirmation that they should continue to develop their channel. Please do not misconstrue my reasoning as "I helped make you successful, then moved on", more like I simply primed the pump or applied a little lubrication and let you enrich my and others lives with your interests, creativity, diligence, friendships and travels. I have truly been well rewarded by your efforts. Respectfully, Gary. Also, special thanks to you and Lady Zephyrus for sharing your exploration around Torfino on Vancouver Island in episode 198 (ua-cam.com/video/H7FamuGM3SU/v-deo.htmlsi=7xN3urwKxbLJPl0R), and your prawn with wine picnic at Hardy Island around July 11, 2020 (ua-cam.com/video/k96p1uWZ-y0/v-deo.htmlsi=CigdbtnW63jVZgyU). Oh, I have noticed that you may be in need of some new saw blades...
Thumbs down. Pirates are not exemplars of carefree adventure. Pirates are desperate criminals that will kill you because they need your clothes. Disney be damned.
Ceiling. A noun-gerund. Both a noun and a verb. As a noun, a ceiling encloses a space. The space might be between frames of the overhead, the topsides or the bilges. As a verb, to ceil a space is to fix planking on the inside of the frames. On a boat any planking on the inside of frames, whether above or below or to the sides, is a ceiling. The ceiling never quite seals the space; gaps are left for ventilation. Each space has 6 walls; frames fore and aft, carlins or stringers either side, planking on the outside and the ceiling on the inside. In a house, convention has it that only the planking (usually plasterboard) overhead is a ceiling. A house ceiling almost always seals the space. Plasterboard on the walls and floorboards on the floor are never called ceiling.

Have a mercy Christmas Peter God bless.

great content again, and great workmanship!
Merry Xmas Peter & girl & dog!
Hope you have a Happy Holiday. Thanks for the video today.
Have a wonderfull Christmas and new year
I find the 3M Roloc surface conditioning disks to work well for jobs like the port lights.
Great entertainment as always Peter, Those portholes have come up lovely with all that paint removed.
word of the week: dribbleage ;-) Merry Xmas to you and Andrea!
McMaster Carr sells 8" o-rings in round and square profiles. You might find a workable option. there if you ever need more.

Peter, ant and roach powder is 99% borax. It is what I buy for cheap borax, vs what is sold as "borax" laundry detergent.
I don't remember seeing you put the new gaskets back in after you sanded.
My hole saws use a 1/4 - 28, thats NF, as you probably know. A short bolt will probably do but proturding head is a bit of a hazard.
.
You are hole sawing the wrong direction!! Should be towards same direction as porthole,🇨🇦😂. Called a Peep Hole!!
That bit of trouble you had beginning the conduit makes it seem that when you put 2 conduits behind the shower you had a horse shoe where the sun don't shine.😎
Looking forward to the ambitious cruising and less work. 😊
Would be awesome if you could build a boatshedominum half boat house/workshop half tiny house.

I think you may have to build a barge for a work shop and storage.
Map gas only burns 100 F. Than propane. Love the show,been watching for years.
Sent some stuff on the wish list some things on that list wont ship to the address’s
Viewer’s word of the week this time is Bronze... The metal of maritime, and permanence, still relevant after its ‘age’... Bronze. .
If the tsunami hits, what boat do you save? Geordie or Poem?
Save the Beer and the Lady you can build another boat or 3
Fire Lake (Bob Seger) for the Bronze Beauties?
Hotter but twice as expensive!

Once again thanks for the episode. It’s really enjoyable watching 5he progress week on week. Keep safe.
Honestly I would just leave it open like that. It gives the boat the look of a pirate ship. 😂
