Just when I'm feeling down because I can't find anything on the internet but BS that's going on in this world... You put out a new video.... Thank you for saving my day Peter... Maybe even my week..😅😅...
I saw you on the Pat Bay Highway this past week driving the Land Rover. As I drove by you I gave a little toot on the airhorn of my truck. As well, my wife and I were on a walk in the Inner Harbour today and spotted Poem. That is a fine boat and Land Rover you have. I enjoy the videos you past every week.
My friend calls the oscillating tool, "the Wonder Tool" because he wonders how he would have done a particular task before the tool came along. Stay safe.
Peter, You’re right, the oscillating tool is mandatory for removing soft timber in tricky to reach places on old timber boats… you’re doing a fine job as always.
You must enjoy the process, or it will drive you mad. Uncovering the previous repairs, 'improvements', and history of the boat is fascinating. You seem to keep cheerful throughout!
Tearing apart the wind-god at least some rotten parts, Turned ito finding some punk-wood which needed some special arts! What is original! Fiberglass or canvass? All needs replacing now! no matter what it was! However it deviates From the first way't was done It's going to be re-made The way these day it's done! Cutting the rotten bits, keeping the good wood Fine tools are key in this - without them 't would not be good!
Peter , your channel is severely underrated! I am gob smacked at this, but you rock Sir always showing the best or an alternative on how to do things that come your way.
The Fein Multitool is the best invention ever, my favorite application is when you have hidden fasteners like those bolts, just slide a metal cutting blade between the timbers and cut all the fasteners off!
That definitely brings back memories of the attempts at cabin side repair I did on Tortuga before I finally decided to get my sawzall out and do a complete cabin housectomy. Tortuga's house was complicated by being finished bright.
What a fine episode. It reminded me of repairing the facia board on the front of my daughter’s house. The more wood I removed the more rot I discovered. Like you Peter, what I refer to as a multi-tool is a God send for these types of repairs. Cheers!
I bought an oscillating tool some time ago but have seldom used it. I wasn’t thinking about it when I was planning my projects. I appreciate you demonstrating how useful it is over the last few months . I now give it more consideration when doing a project and have found it to be very handy. I’ve learned some useful things from you over the last 3 years. Thanks for a having great channel! You’ve taught this old dog some new tricks. ❤
Hello Peter, Watching all your boat restorations is a marathon of enjoyment. I am at #275, where you set sail to sand & varnish the sliding windows & revarnish the rear cockpit door. Instead of again yelling at the monitor, I thought to time skip to the present & suggest the use of a type of Danish Oil that contains both dryers & UV protection. I slap it on the brightwork of my 22' cabin cruiser, whenever the weather creates damage to the varnish between Spring fitouts. No sanding required; swiftly wield the green scourer, tack cloth & brush on the Deks Olje . Preventative maintenance without effort. Owatrol Deks Olje D1 Wood Oil is £26-73 in the UK. Same procedure. In #97, Leo describes his use of Le Tonkinois for the interior of Tally Ho.BTW, I purchased a Bahco 655. It's far safer & much better than using shards of greenhouse glass that my father & I used to scrape the varnish off the deck of a GP14, about 60 years ago.🙄 Very best wishes, Perry
Hi Peter,they say that when you own a wooden boat that the work continues throughout the boat’s life.Having taken on three boats you seem to be set for evermore,and i will continue to watch your ingenuity and diligence to detail with total respect and enjoyment,cheers Roly🇬🇧.
Trying to extricate rotten bits without cutting the whole boat up reminds me of unravelling wet spaghetti, you're a champion to even taking on these jobs!🙂🙂
Very impressive Peter. You make this look much easier than it is. Your editing is deceptive in the obvious time table. Looking forward to seeing more progress.
I am gradually learning to use my oscillating saw, and I find it overcomes some of my lack of carpentry talent. In terms of a "fine" ale, I'm drinking a Temporal Imperial Stout while watching. This is a serious 10.68% deep, dark, and delicious bourbon barrel-aged libation that seems to match the historc descriptions of the 18th century brew made in Clerkenwell London that Peter the Great liked so much. Made by Container brewing in Vancouver.
It's a day late and a dollar short - but here is my contribution to the WOTW, it's late because I was have a fine time in the USofA at the Annapolis sailboat show and then a week visiting friends in Dallas Texas. So this weekend is catch up time for me thus I am watching your fine work with your Fein tool!
They actually began to use Fiberglass in the fifties in boat construction. So it could very well of been used in MV Zephyrus. Nice work as always peter.
Gosh Peter, you are a craftsman, what a perfect repair so far. I have to admit though, I love it when you work on the Lady’s boat, she’s an awesome decorator, love getting sneak peeks, so beautiful!!!
This was a great video Peter. It was nice to meet you briefly in Port Townsend - I was the red beard w/ the husky on the dock as Lucille backed in in front of you. Lucille, incidentally is also an IPA out of Seattle. Maybe we’ll have to pick that conversation again later over a couple 🍻
You can buy replacement chucks for most drills, even some universal fit ones, if you can work out how to remove the old one to measure the thread size.
Hi Peter, great video as usual. Was just wondering why you don't treat any of the replacement timber with a wood preservative such as Cuprinol? I work as a maintenance man at a mid Georgian mansion here in the UK and I'm dealing with rotten sash windows on a constant basis, and have found that a good wood preservative will certainly increase the life span of external joinery.
Just ordered one of your hoodies. Love your work. Just finished my first boat build from scratch and you have inspired me to start another one in the spring. Thanks Peter!
Brilliant Peter I sit there and say OMG how is he going to get around that and you always come up with a workable solution.Can’t wait for the” Flying Dutchman” cheers!
Wooden boats are great. Just think, if it wasn't for all this maintenance you might well be cruising about spending all your money on fuel, and pub visits. 😅
Yet again a fine episode with a very fine approach to wood working and educating your viewers on how to approach a very complex wood repair on MV Zephyrus. Cheers Peter
I don't understand why stainless steel screws or bolts weren't used throughout in the construction of these old wooden boats? Maybe s/s wasn't readily available back in those times? That being the case copper should have been the choice. Maybe these boats were constructed during tough times, like during the depression years, or maybe it was just done to maximise the builders profits.
Another fine episode to watch. Owning an old house I have had similar issues with digging into projects and finding they are more extensive than you thought.
If ever this side of the pond and in Scotland try the excellent farm brewery at the top end of one of our sea lochs. Fyne Ales on Loch Fyne. If picked feel free to pass to another to save on shipping!!
I sit down to watch this fine installment Of the on going adventures in wood boat life and all of the sudden my one rotten window sill that i discovered seems like nothing compared to the Fein job you are doing on MVZ. Thank you again.
Just a thought peter but during that climb cut with your circular saw, if you removed the battery it would have given you better clearance. Bit of a no brainier to be honest. Great upload nonetheless.
Thats fine by me Peter another fine episode showing off your fine skillset also tried to become a patreon again but card keeps getting declined any thoughts ?
That was a fine bit of slow-mo of the dog at the end there.
you make it look easy!
0:20 Even the swans are impressed, NICE! 👍
AH,Ha,Haaaaaa!!!. I thought the word of the week would be sill
Keep up the "fine" work, I meant "good" work!
JIM 🥰
Thank you for another great video.
excellent episode!

wow Peter great work !!! :)
That whole project would've just given me nightmares -- amazing work.
I saw you on the Pat Bay Highway this past week driving the Land Rover. As I drove by you I gave a little toot on the airhorn of my truck. As well, my wife and I were on a walk in the Inner Harbour today and spotted Poem. That is a fine boat and Land Rover you have. I enjoy the videos you past every week.
As a (real!) Dutchman I can tell you this episode again showed some fine (Dutch: "fijn" ) woodworking. Thnx!
My friend calls the oscillating tool, "the Wonder Tool" because he wonders how he would have done a particular task before the tool came along. Stay safe.
🙀 Let the refastening begin
Peter, You’re right, the oscillating tool is mandatory for removing soft timber in tricky to reach places on old timber boats… you’re doing a fine job as always.
And here I thought dutchmen flew. Fine piece of work this week.
Removing that rot and replacing with good material was so satisfying to watch. Thanks Peter.
Peter, this is your niche and I find contains most satisfying content, txs for sharing...the right tool in the right hands
Maybe the plywood with fiberglass overlay was installed along with the newer teak decking? Fine work as always Peter 😊
You must enjoy the process, or it will drive you mad. Uncovering the previous repairs, 'improvements', and history of the boat is fascinating. You seem to keep cheerful throughout!
Tearing apart the wind-god
at least some rotten parts,
Turned ito finding some punk-wood
which needed some special arts!
What is original! Fiberglass or canvass?
All needs replacing now! no matter what it was!
However it deviates
From the first way't was done
It's going to be re-made
The way these day it's done!
Cutting the rotten bits, keeping the good wood
Fine tools are key in this - without them 't would not be good!
Peter , your channel is severely underrated!
I am gob smacked at this, but you rock Sir always showing the best or an alternative on how to do things that come your way.
Peter brilliant video, I sooo look forward to your posts every week. Thank you for all the hard work you do. 👍👍👍
FINE woodworking and fine beer!!!
Fine shot of a playful Finnegan at the end of what must have been nerve wracking - and head scratching - work!
That's a fine Dutchman you cut.
Beer of the week, pronounced Log a neat us, cheers.
The Fein Multitool is the best invention ever, my favorite application is when you have hidden fasteners like those bolts, just slide a metal cutting blade between the timbers and cut all the fasteners off!
you're doing some mighty fine work with that Fein tool.
Fiberglass was introduced to boat building in 1949

Watching your woodwork is, oh so fine!
Lovely shot of little Fin at the end❤

Fascinating episode! I have original Fein in metal carry case. 23 years. Saved me from so many impossible situations

Owning wooden boats guarantees a “Fein” life!!!
Wow complicated cuts Peter, you make it all look so easy. Well done.
Hi Peter,they say that when you own a wooden boat that the work continues throughout the boat’s life.Having taken on three boats you seem to be set for evermore,and i will continue to watch your ingenuity and diligence to detail with total respect and enjoyment,cheers Roly🇬🇧.
One fine tool for a fine job
Detailed wood work requires patience and skill certain tools are helpful but a craftsman does not blame his tools. Great job so far Peter.
MAN, THAT ROT DID A NUMBER ON THAT WOOD GLAD YOUR FIXIN HER UP.
Pete you are certainly a Master Manipulator of Timber. Keep at it.
Trying to extricate rotten bits without cutting the whole boat up reminds me of unravelling wet spaghetti, you're a champion to even taking on these jobs!🙂🙂
that's a fein bit of wood work.
A friendly Fiend with a fien saw is a freind indeed🪚
Very impressive Peter. You make this look much easier than it is. Your editing is deceptive in the obvious time table. Looking forward to seeing more progress.
This is a fine mess you have uncovered! Good luck!
I am gradually learning to use my oscillating saw, and I find it overcomes some of my lack of carpentry talent.

Wooden Boats are fine.
That's a fein job you did making those Dutchmen!
Another fine episode Peter. Nice work once again!!
Thanks!
Very thankful I invested in the entire Fein Tool cabinet when I was contracting years ago. It does what no other tool, knock-offs included, does…
It's a day late and a dollar short - but here is my contribution to the WOTW, it's late because I was have a fine time in the USofA at the Annapolis sailboat show and then a week visiting friends in Dallas Texas.

Gosh Peter, you are a craftsman, what a perfect repair so far. I have to admit though, I love it when you work on the Lady’s boat, she’s an awesome decorator, love getting sneak peeks, so beautiful!!!
A lot like restoring a sixties Italian car, but with wood and epoxy instead of steel and welding
This was a great video Peter. It was nice to meet you briefly in Port Townsend - I was the red beard w/ the husky on the dock as Lucille backed in in front of you. Lucille, incidentally is also an IPA out of Seattle. Maybe we’ll have to pick that conversation again later over a couple 🍻
I just Love to see how you think about and engineer a superior way to make these repairs.
You can buy replacement chucks for most drills,
even some universal fit ones,
if you can work out how to remove the old one to measure the thread size.
That's a fine dog 🐾⚓️✨
Hi Peter, great video as usual. Was just wondering why you don't treat any of the replacement timber with a wood preservative such as Cuprinol?
I work as a maintenance man at a mid Georgian mansion here in the UK and I'm dealing with rotten sash windows on a constant basis, and have found that a good wood preservative will certainly increase the life span of external joinery.
Skill and bravery make great viewing.
Well, that cabin side repair is going to look quite FIN when it's done!!!
Peter, OK, fine, you get to choose the word of the week. But really it should have been dutchman.
Lagunitas is readily available in the stores in the states and is quite high in the alc content is some flavors
Peter, what a fine... Fabulous Incredible Nautical Experience... thanks for sharing this work.
If you get a chance, try the Lagunitas - Hazy little Thing. It's a fine Hazy I think you would enjoy.
Love your show Peter, alway looking forward to another episode and your fine craftmanship - greetings from Norway!
Nice patsching of the old boat..
Peter, when did you decide to change from Brain surgery to Old Boat maintenance? Only now do I realize my incompetency! Cheers Mark
Another fine episode, Peter!
Of course! Can’t think of any of you episodes I have not enjoyed.
Glad to see that's getting done all that rotten wood to replace lucky you got to it in time it's finally looking good and strong again ❤
Fine beer, fine tool...what else do you need (other than a vessel) to feel fine.
Love it! Lady Z will be pleased.
Fine work!
Just ordered one of your hoodies. Love your work. Just finished my first boat build from scratch and you have inspired me to start another one in the spring. Thanks Peter!
Of course, I wrote another Haiku4U
Peter's killing rot,
Fein tool outruns "Chuck" this time,
Now...beer of the week!
Brilliant Peter I sit there and say OMG how is he going to get around that and you always come up with a workable solution.Can’t wait for the” Flying Dutchman” cheers!
One of my favorite beers Peter cheers!
I've got a strange mind . When i see you working with that oscillating tool , i can almost smell it . 😮
You caught some good luck with plywood cutout! Goodonyas!
Wooden boats are great. Just think, if it wasn't for all this maintenance you might well be cruising about spending all your money on fuel, and pub visits. 😅
Some of the work you are doing is fine, (some not so much). I enjoy watching you do it, however it is.
Yet again a fine episode with a very fine approach to wood working and educating your viewers on how to approach a very complex wood repair on MV Zephyrus. Cheers Peter
The Fein tool is a fine tool to perform fine work. I love my Fein tool also.
Great work as usual! You make it look so easy.
i watch your videos every week, and the fine work you do on these boats, is really fine to see
I don't understand why stainless steel screws or bolts weren't used throughout in the construction of these old wooden boats? Maybe s/s wasn't readily available back in those times? That being the case copper should have been the choice. Maybe these boats were constructed during tough times, like during the depression years, or maybe it was just done to maximise the builders profits.

If ever this side of the pond and in Scotland try the excellent farm brewery at the top end of one of our sea lochs. Fyne Ales on Loch Fyne. If picked feel free to pass to another to save on shipping!!
It is indeed hard to know when to say "Stop" when restoring a wooden boat!
I have recently discovered the oscillating tool myself. Very handy indeed. As always great video.
👍!!!
I sit down to watch this fine installment Of the on going adventures in wood boat life and all of the sudden my one rotten window sill that i discovered seems like nothing compared to the Fein job you are doing on MVZ. Thank you again.
Just a thought peter but during that climb cut with your circular saw, if you removed the battery it would have given you better clearance.
Bit of a no brainier to be honest.
Great upload nonetheless.
I learned a lot ✌️🌸🌱⚓️
Thats fine by me Peter another fine episode showing off your fine skillset also tried to become a patreon again but card keeps getting declined any thoughts ?
