UA-cam is inundated with "first timers" showing off some new project they've never done before. It's a real blessing to finally find a video produced by a seasoned expert. Thank you!
It is a lot of work, knowledge and effort to do that, I was born in a family, community and town dedicated to woodworking, always we had the problem that people didn't appreciate our work.
The alternative to the scrapers you mentioned in fact is a tungsten blade scraper, these little blades (which are double sided), are incredibly sharp and are the ideal tool for hard scraping old finish off. I use these all the time, on boat woodwork, let alone on antique joinery etc.
I installed a hose on the inside of the shop vacuum that exits under about four inches of water. You can wight it down with a brick to keep the end submerged. Now take a pice of window screen to lay over the water as to keep the bubbles down trapping the dust under the water. Never lose suction and no need for bags
@@Saintathantwinpeaks picture the hose extended thru the canister to under the water inside the canister. Now the dirt is pulled into the water and is captured. Make sure to weigh the end of the hose under the water and lay something like a rag or window screen in the water to help captured the dust. I use a Rainbow Vacuum cleaner and it applies the same principle.
Hi - thanks for watching and asking! Laid decks are not to be varnished - some people use some "boat sauce" mixes but most are left raw for traction and ease of care. You can find more videos, including the other parts of this series, at the link in the description.

Amen! 🙏
I learned more in five minutes with this video than the last 30 years! You're amazing. My boat placards will never be the same...😊

Take care of your hands too! Folding and running your fingers through that sanding paper gave me goosebumps.
Holy there's more knowledge in this woman's pinky, than in my whole body!

I use a moist cloth and clothing iron to "inflate" small dings and dents. To more you can lift the ding the less you need to sand it
i cant find part 2 :(
What happened to Varnishing Part 2? I can’t find it on your channel.

Nice prep work its hard following someone that skipped steps
Fantastic!
Top takeaway from this video: if you want to do a proper job, do it next year.
story of my life!
Looks like the topsides need some love too.
“We’re not saving babies..”
Just a curiosity. Why all the excellent work on the rails, etc. And the deck looks weathered and ignored?
I could not find part two either . .

@@offcenterharbor I've always been taught to gently wash natural teak decks against the grain with salt water if it's a salt water boat
try a carbide blade on your scrapper you will never go back
