I love watching Aladino work. You are an inspiration with your work ethic. A true Renaissance man. Seeing the first beam come off the jig like that was a joy.
I'm loving watching these beams come together. You are going to be SO GLAD that you did this. With the epoxy seal it will be better than new! I had to laugh when you lamented the beam being "almost perfect"... I used to always say "Perfect is good enough"... as I get older it's become apparent that perfectionism can often be more of a hindrance than a help. Now I try to think to myself: "good enough is perfect" ... I'd bet that good enough for you and me is still beyond what many people consider "perfect" ;) Really great work guys!!
The scene is as Maya is laying under the deck beams and tells about her feelings. As I do sometimes when I lay in my small boat after finishing winter work. I did similar things like the deck beams on a much smaller boat, planing wood and mounted it, made a laminated tiller ..., great work, Aladino with the profession at the boat and Maya getting better with every episodes, the filming as well as the music, thank you both
Gosh what a great video! It is wonderful to see Aladino working.. as if he is a violin maker so meticulous.. a true craftsman who knows his trade. Love you guys! Greetings from the Netherlands
So smooth how you edit what is a learning process for you both. Total respect for the craft work you both obviously admire and to which you successfully aspire.
Masking tape on the bottom layer of the beam will eliminate hours of clean up time. I'm glad you point out the importance of not clamping all of the epoxy out of the joints. Nice work!
Great to see a craftsman like Aladino inheriting another craftsman's tools - great saw & I bet it outlives that DeWalt over & over again (even if the DW is useful too) and you could carry it on board for running repairs & improvements.
Progress is always satisfying even if it’s never as fast as you want . Keep up the good work . Interesting to see the different approaches to a job that still end up with a good result. Cheers Warren
I was fortunate to spend a few years of my work life in a real honest to gods woodworking shop. This brings pleasant memories of the feel and smell as the planner cuts the wood surface smooth and straight.
So nice to see a master craftsman at work. Notice how neat, clean and careful. I wonder if there is anyone being trained like this the the US? I can hardly wait to see the finished project.
Great attention to detail Aldino and really good videos especially the music. A real pleasure to watch considering all that’s going on elsewhere on the planet.😷
I have to say as a retired Aircraft Engineer that the sign of a good TRADIE is a clean & tidy TRADIE. I'm supper impressed with how you operated Aladino. Oh. And I'm so glad your now not in demolition mod.
Avec autant d'attention pour les détails, il n'est pas surprenant que "ça marche" à chaque fois. Ce n'est pas une coïncidence mais le résultat d'un travail bien fait. Salutations, de Montréal, Richard
well done, every time you feed the planner, try to feed the planks from one side to the other in order to avoid to use always the same spot of the blades. Keep it up!
The skills of the craftsman is matched with the skills of the video editor / producer /voiceover/cameraoperator/musician. Another excellent video, thanks.
Aladino keep up the great work.... I was in residential construction for 25 years and i have a time saving tip for you... When cutting angles using a compound miter saw with lasers. Place the piece on the saw use the lasers to help line up your cut to the angle marked on the piece that needs cut. This takes out any guess work and time needed to get the perfect angle needed to make the cut... Hope it's a useful wood cutting tip Love the channel
... the biggest reason for the different "hardeners" is ambient temperature. The "slow" hardener is for working in higher ambient temperatures (hot days ) ... the "fast" is for lower ambient temperatures ( cooler days ). If it is a really hot day, make a "ice bath" and place your tray in it ... on a +90f day it helps w/ your "working time" ... a lot !!!!
I truly enjoy watching you work, Aladino, as Maya waxes poetically. And Maya, your contributions are what makes the effort worthwhile. I am so impressed with each of you.
I’ve had issues with pumps losing prime over time - I just use a cheap food scale and mix now by weight - west systems 105 mixes at different ratio by weight for some hardeners but west systems instructions gives the by weight ratio no waste then if pump goes wonky. I had to go back and look this up to confirm
The beam was a masterpiece, but the telling point (to me) was how the workman always cares for his tools before tooting his horn! Aladino IS the workman!
I delight in watching this young couple meet and exceed their challenges each Week. This week, however, I was impressed with how tidy their shop is. No little piles of sawdust or dust bunnies ANYWHERE. THAT is dedication to your craft as much a building a beam. The discipline to stop the fun stuff to clean up is tough. I’m impressed. Bravo!
I am always impressed with your collective ability in turning cutting a piece of wood into an artform. Hopefully you won't be too old to enjoy the boat in all its glory.
my goodness, the cleanliness of your work space is outstanding , i wish i could be this organized the pleasure you get from creating these videos is part of what makes them so good to watch outstanding work thank you
It is very interesting to watch this. It makes me wonder just how prepared anyone can be, for the punishment the oceans are able to unleash. Not to mention rocks. 🤘😎
Yes! Aladino is (for me) the first on YTube to do it the right way. First a saturating layer of the thinnest epoxy, wait for it to get tacky, and only then apply the actual epoxy glue! Usually people just put the glue directly on the wood: wrong, not nearly as strong. Small tip: Place the side blocks between the supports of the jig...(at 13:18 you can see it move. It moves, but still is a risk)
I've worked on a fairly technical composite build this last year. I (almost) always use the two cup method when mixing epoxy. Pump the resin and hardener into one cup, mix a bit, then transfer into a second cup. That will eliminate the possibility that some viscous liquids will cling to the surfaces and fail to mix, then fail to cure. It also greatly improves your sleep prior to demolding expensive components.
Came to comment this, glad to see it was already mentioned. Particularly if using a cup not designed for the job with grooves and such where dead spots despite stirring may remain (as it's a viscous fluid, even more so when using additives and fillers).
Great job guys. Love the thicknesses. If I can make a suggestion after some experience with epoxy. Use a paper cup if you can. It has a flat bottom and sides. Plastics never do and it’s environmentally better. Cut your stirring stick square on the end with a chisel so that when mixing the west system you get into the corner of the cup. West can be a bit fussy if not mixed properly.
Each episode is allways a mix of fun, learning and admiration for your work. And, of course, allways a pleasure to listen to the gorgeous tasted soundtrack, wich I presume is either played or chosen by Maya. If the famous, and sometimes infamous, algorythm does't give you guys the maximum rate possible for this video (and all the others) it will be definitely not because of the content's quality. Cheers!
I am enjoying these. We never got to see Aladino show his skills building the other boat. So now we do. I am glad your wearing ear protection for the chop saw. It is one of the loudest tools. We dont want to see the amazing musician loose her hearing. :)
Take a hand held tape gun with the clear packing you can get them at Home Depot Lowe’s etc. run the tape down the board and you won’t have to scrape it
Your tool collection is awesome. Since you couldn't bring everything with you, I wondered how you would be able, on a tight budget, to assemble enough tools to be productive. It's incredible just how generous your supporters, especially Scott, have been. It really struck me today with the story about the hand saw. What a treat to have it and to let it continue to work.
Bet that planer filled that vacuum pretty darn quickly! I was planning some white oak for tabernacles and was astounded the amount of material comes off to plane 1/16 inch!
Excellent craftsmanship as always! Just wondering if you considered putting clear tape on the outside of the bottom-most board to help minimize the epoxy sticking to it as well or if that would have made any appreciably difference in speeding up cleanup? Best wishes to you both.
Fantastic work guys. I have used the West system on timber work on boats for many years. I really appreciate you guys showing how you laminate beams. Using a heat gun to take off surplus epoxy is a great idea. Have a great week. Cheers Grant from NZ
lol .. you're vacuuming up all your wood chips from the planner ... my shop is ground asphalt so my shop floor is is planner shavings. Nice and soft to walk in barefoot :-)
I am also following a boat rebuilding project on Sailing Yabba which is providing a interesting contrast with your project, your careful measuring and precision and their shipwrights using a chainsaw and sludge hammers.
You Never have enough clamps, I think the formula is N+2, N is the number of clamps you have on hand, what you need is 2 more. Another tip is use clear packing tape on your blocks, I've done that for years and it's reusable, the duct tape gets sticky and leaves glue behind. Keep up the good work, it's impressive what you're doing.
You can buy a concave router/planer bit made specially to prevent glue joints from being to dry but allowing the outside surfaces to be tight. The best of both worlds.
I cannot tell you how much joy it brings to watch true craftsmen at work - Aladino on the boat (he is amazing!) and Maya producing it all... I miss your music, though!! Especially since Oliver Schroer left us. Keep going. I hope to meet you two one day!

Really great work guys!!
Aladino is such a neat worker. No wonder he is so good. The same is true of Maya, of course!!
I was a cabinetmaker / finish carpenter for over 30 years and man do you work clean!
I'm a designer, and seeing a tradie keep the site clean is a sign of a master.
Incredible skill and craftsmanship. I am always in awe of such talent.
You guys opened up your own craftsman boat yard in the middle of Oregon :) Great to watch . I would never have the patience.
The scene is as Maya is laying under the deck beams and tells about her feelings. As I do sometimes when I lay in my small boat after finishing winter work.

Aladino. It is such A pleasure to see A Real professionel craftsman at Work..
That compound miter saw is an outstanding piece of equipment to work with. Clean precision cuts at any angle or camber needed.
Gosh what a great video!
It is wonderful to see Aladino working.. as if he is a violin maker so meticulous.. a true craftsman who knows his trade. Love you guys! Greetings from the Netherlands
I have been watching you from the beginning. Your refit of this boat are the most interesting videos so far.
So smooth how you edit what is a learning process for you both. Total respect for the craft work you both obviously admire and to which you successfully aspire.
Masking tape on the bottom layer of the beam will eliminate hours of clean up time. I'm glad you point out the importance of not clamping all of the epoxy out of the joints. Nice work!
Working with tools that have souls puts soul in your work.
Truly exquisite Craftsmanship and attention to detail. Keep up the great work
Doing good, guys! I love watching your videos each week during our Sunday lunch. We enjoy them very much. Best wishes & stay safe.

I enjoy watching the precision of the beam making process.
Fantastic progress. Try packing tape on the top and bottom of the wood beam, that should solve the epoxy sticking problem and save you lots of work.
We will on the next ones
Enjoying the craftsmanship.
Swiss craftmanship tends to be high precision craftmanship 😀👍
@@knut8556 A M A Z I N G skill and patience!
@@KiwiSkipper Yes indeed😀👍
I am in the Midwest - far from sailboats. So all of this is totally fascinating!
I was fortunate to spend a few years of my work life in a real honest to gods woodworking shop. This brings pleasant memories of the feel and smell as the planner cuts the wood surface smooth and straight.
Maya your editing is remarkably pleasing, executed beautifully. Aladino endlich bist du Teil der Sendung, du Strahls in dein Element, gefällt mier!
So nice to see a master craftsman at work. Notice how neat, clean and careful. I wonder if there is anyone being trained like this the the US? I can hardly wait to see the finished project.
How many times have I measured and cut only to say at the end "WHAT HAPPENED?!?" ;-) Experience is the best teacher.
I admire your craftmanship Aldino. You da man!
Great results for Aladino’s craftsmanship, chapeau!!!
Great attention to detail Aldino and really good videos especially the music. A real pleasure to watch considering all that’s going on elsewhere on the planet.😷

Top level craftsmanship. When I win the lottery I'm going to hire Aladino to build me the best boat ever...
Planer thicknessers produce a lot of debris and will rapidly fill a small extractor like that; you need a bigger one. Great job! 👍

The style of working with hand saw 😍
You guys are amazing, keeping it real, showing cruisers what it really takes to do a total refit.
Satisfaction to an infinite degree. Respect for this level of craftsmanship.🏆
well done, every time you feed the planner, try to feed the planks from one side to the other in order to avoid to use always the same spot of the blades. Keep it up!
admirable craftsmanship

Did you see the look in his eyes when he said it was by off by a millimeter? That is such a rare craftsman who aches over something like that. Wow.
Ça marche! That’s the best way to describe your progress. See you next week
Great composition and editing ... y'all are getting to be true film pros!
Amazing skills each and every episode! You both are astounding at your gifts and talents!
Watching Aladino work and hearing Maya’s narration is my weekly meditation 🧘♂️
Wonderful work making the beam.
Always feel so proud of the both of you.

Fabulous seeing Aladino's craftsmanship materialising and seeing how you tackle each hurdle.

Yahoo!! Great first beam 😀 love that planer.
Another super episode of Aladino’s craftsmanship and tidiness, and Maya’s superb editing.
Such finesse in all manner of work. Like a fine furniture piece, beautiful and timeless. A great video in content and delivery. Cheers to you both.

Kudos to the cinematographer for the test-beam insertion sequence
Great job much more success your way.

Incredible care and patience Aladino! Lovely moon shot, Maya!
Nice work both of you.
Great video and exciting to see the progress.
Great work!!
