look at all of those people out there making stuff. it warms the heart
" practice makes, not quite as bad as last time" I love it
That's definitely a good funny.
I’ve been catching your videos here and there for probably around ten years. I am so impressed with your and all your friends amazing creation. Your boat is simply incredible, and I’m excited to continue following along to see where you take her.
Another great video, thanks! You make welding seem magical, I want to learn how and then MAKE STUFF, and at my age! Wonderful!! :)
I love being both a patron and a subscriber. I don't know if my subscription helps much, but it never hurts to like and subscribe! Thank you Doug for all of the great videos. Sail on.
"Well get out in your shop and start welding and start grinding, you'll get better at one of them" Loved that!
I'm not going to comment on how short these videos are now!
Being able to weld gives a person a completely different outlook on reality in general...it completely changes the way a person looks at problems. That attitude carries over into non-welding aspects of life too. You've got a good thing going there with folks sending in their photos of what they're working on or have accomplished. As much as I love what I learn while watching you I love the public input the best. Extremely inspirational. BTW...I doubt if you even own a couch or would even know how to use one if you did.
I have a couch and I actually spend a lot of time on it. It is also my bed. : )
Love sharing the thought process and whole procedure, as usual
Glad you enjoy it
Doug, You get better and better at TIG welding! great! I have a tip for you: Put the tungsten electrode in a cordless drill and put it on the grinding wheel while spinning. You dont even have to take the gloves off for sharpening the electrode. Super quick.
Please dont sharpen the electrode on the side of the wheel. That way you end up with grinding marks 90 degree to the electrode, with actually hinders the current flow. The grinding marks must run axially. The current runs smoother and you get a more focused arc. Try it!
He's already willfully ignorant of any information he watches, doubt he'll heed your advice. Big eye roll about halfway through when he calls it "hogwash", sounds like someone buying into their own bs.
Heard that, tried that, and maybe it only works on a full moon. : )
@@77marioland If experienced advice doesn't work as helpfully suggested...on first attempt...Well it's most certainly utter 'hogwash' advice.🙄!
Hey that was my weld you cut. I was very proud of that one! Awesome to see the sails going up. Hope to get down there sometime again.
Ha! Is that why it was so pretty! Look forward to having you back.
That sail material is shocking! Great stuff
It's not your Dad's sailcloth.
Душа SV Seeker - это капитан Дуг , он должен делать то , что кроме него не сделает никто ...
Once you work harden stainless you can bring it to red hot and let it cool slowly. It will mostly come back!
I’ve done that, but I didn’t think it worked very well.
@@SVSeeker Carbide twist drills will punch through the work hardened area. A little expensive, but they're worth it.
"And when -Alexander- Doug saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more -worlds- welds to conquer." One day, but not too soon.
LOL. I got enough unfinished stuff for three lifetimes. :-)
@@SVSeeker The "transitional" compromises are the solutions we get the farthest with. Rebuilt a motorcycle engine recently the owner had put in a piece of a pine-twig where the rev-meter cable belonged. Thirty two years and 250 k km earlier. She had meant for it to be there to get home only, some 3000 km from Lebanon where she was vacationing back to Bavaria, and now there we are, half a life later.
I framed it for her.
(Edit: interpunctaion)
@@manfredschmalbach9023 BRAVO to her. Other people would have sat waiting for weeks while the proper part arrived from overseas. : )
I work in the gas industry.... I think I just heard a Doug Jackson original quote that needs to be posted in our weld shop at work...." Get in the shop and start welding, and start grinding, you'll get better at one of them..."
Auto sails is a must for crusty old persons.
it would be nice if you re-upload the longer videos here too, just one week later or so - ty!
Sorry, those are for Patrons only.
Hope yall are OK after the storms this morning. It looks like the rotation went right over you guys and then over us in Lillian.
Yup. Spent the night on anchor watch. : )
Doug many years ago while in welding school, I had one of the few machines that scratch start was needed. My instructor showed my how to scratch with the filler rod and flip it around to good metal and bust on welding. Of course I looked like a chimp trying to get the down right. 🤔🙈🙈
I like the longer videos.
Doug try striking the tungsten using a piece of copper then into the weld. Safes the tip sharping.
That is a least one that I have never hear of. I guess a backing bar will do nicely.
I dont know why I get so emotional when theres a format change so you can make a living,makes perfect sense. but i usally wont watch short videos untill they pile up, meanwhile your icon slips slowly down the subscription bar, untill i forget to look for you.
If you're doing the thing that makes you happy, then not watching is a good thing. : )
great video
Great job!!! 🎉
If you want to scratch start a TIG Arc safely and not ruin your Tungsten, clamp a piece of Copper, about 8 mm thick beneath the point where you want to start your weld, scratch start on the copper and than move the arc to your weld. Thus done, the Tungsten won‘t be ruined that fast.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
I used to have one of those welders and I hated it with a passion . The duty cycle is next to nothing , the voltage drop is real and it will burn a 3/32's in good welding conditions . If you manage to get the little one to work for you I hope is serves you well . I just would not count on it . With all that said I did not get use the tig all that much on this one rig so I can't speak to the tig side of the things with this rig. Just keep in mind if you have to count on it for that big ass steel boat ! lol be safe fair winds and following seas . Sorry Miller most of the other rigs are a life saver by the way how about making a limited run of the Legends again so I can by 3 of em !
Oh I had no idea your boat wasn't prepared for the Lady of the Sea, she prefers foresails that are modified ! lol
A Rabbi, a Catholic priest, and a Baptist minister are all fishing one day, but all day long only the Rabbi was catching fish. The priest and the minister were impressed with his good luck and asked if God was working on his behalf. The Rabbi said, "Absolutely, God provides my bait. And I am out so it's a good thing tomorrow is circumcision day."
@@SVSeeker Eweee LMAO !
I'm too busy watching your videos to get out of my chair. I did make a sandwich......
Doug is the coolest guy on youtube.
LOL And you have not even seen me in my sun glasses. : )
@@SVSeeker Would probably make you coolest guy on earth. Thanks for the great videos. I've been watching since the start.
Maybe it's a stupid idea, but if you had two lines going from the cradle tips to the top of the mast they could be attached to the base of the mast with cleats when the sail is in use, and tensioned to guide the sail in the cradle when the sail is furled.
Yeah, that would work, but it would also need to be attached only when dropping the sail.
Need to teach ya how to swipe start your arc with the filler wire. Will save lots of tungsten $$ and no tungsten defects in the weld. I started out learning scratch starting.
Go south young man.
Confucius says: bad welder make good grinder... I'm a fantastic grinder.
@5:00, one of the folding and latching supports that you find on the folding tables would do, and you can make it fold in and away from your location.
Something like that.
That wasn't a leg extender, that was a portable hump. Leg extenders are those things drywallers use when they do mud on the ceiling that are like stilts. Now, what you put between the davits is a portable hill, but it is single sided. Then there are those blue thing that drive around and go up and down, they are altitude adjusters.
Do you do anything for passivation of stainless welds? Is the material 316? Thanks for the videos!
No, and I doubt it's 316. Most likely 304. Most of it comes from drops found in the scrap yard.
Are you worried about passivating those SS welds?
No. : )
More surface area on that rest be easier on sail?
It's not that sort of sailcloth.
"Get out in your shop and start welding or grinding, you will get better at one of them" That might be the most true statement I have ever heard and I love it. (I'm going to steel it... but will give full credit when I do.)
the sail cradle is ununrealized opportunity to get creative.
Needs a linear actuator right?
Please put those guards on
Absolutely Not. I didn't learn to ride a bike so I could keep the training wheels.
Goddam couch so sticky...... 👍
when welding on a car, you have to disconnect the mass from the battery, what about a boat
Maybe on these new cars, but that's not true about anything I have owned. And a metal boat does not use the hull as a ground path, so even less so there.
@@SVSeeker Using the hull as a ground pash would rust the boat much quicker. You are right on that, I just realized that. Thanks!
I found easiest way to sharpen tungsten symmetrically and fast is to chuck up your tungsten in your cordless drill and grind it on bench grinder with the drill running. Sharpen both sides of tungsten and when it gets contaminated you can just flip it around in the tig torch. Another benefit of the drill is if your quick you can pull it out of the tig torch while hot and plop it in the drill chuck without burning through your gloves and get to sharpening without wasting too much time to cool down. Don't even have to take your gloves off, a good suggestion is two lengths of taper for the diameter.
What did I make today? welp, mostly bad decisions.
o dear alex from ards stainless marine
Absolutely it's your right to make longer videos for your patrons, and keep it up, if I'm ever in a position to support I will(#bilgeratforlife) but I feel like there's some continuity issues in this video trying to understanding exactly what you are doing and when you are doing it. Perhaps a 20min youtube and 30min pterion will suffice. You are getting great shots of the work but the reasoning behind the work and the thought process are maybe lost a little.
Maybe a question would help?
Dude, do you even HAVE a couch anymore?
Lazy on Captain lazy on
I simply love this channel. Can I donate a decent amount through patreon for a one time basis (say $50.00) and receive access to the additional content? I don’t want to donate small amounts on a regular basis if that’s ok.
No, I'm sorry. I wish that was an option with Patreon, it makes a lot of sense to me as well.
grinds 5 feet from gas cans wow
Hi Mom!
fork you
Yeah! Well fork you too buddy.
Doug, love the channel and the community, and following your journey has been a pleasure. As an alternative to Patreon, I have seen other UA-cam channels with an option to "Join" (aka being a paid subscriber to the channel). Is this possible? Or is Patreon the better financial option for Seeker? I'm not after the long version videos, as your edits are more than plenty to scratch my Seeker itch. Yes, I am a lazy Bilge Rat, but I am loyal and wanting contribute. Many thanks to you and the crew mates.
I'll look into it. Thanks.
Yr whole construction is goiing to be too much to heavy. So sailing will be restricted to use engine and sails will be limited to drifting. But may be during a nice force 8 she will move. If and when yr crew is still capably to preform and knows how to handle yr very complicated outfit.
But I will follow Y and wish Y all the best luck.
Master Mariner Sailing Capt J.Jonkers
It confuses me that someone who uses the title Master Mariner also considers this a complicated outfit. Have you never sailed a three mast Junk?
Sorry that you feel that people should pay for your video's. Perhaps you will let us all know when you have finished your boat?
Maybe you should get a job and stopping expecting welfare? Or at least be respectful to those that are making your freeloading possible.
@@SVSeeker Gratitude for allowing us to see what success actually is.
Thanks!👍
