i all sv2 betcha I'm Tony

we're building a cruising sailboat this

video log of that construction we

started at the very beginning with a

lofting put it together step by step and

we're now just over two and a half years

into the build we've got a boat

they're just sort of fitting it out now

I'm getting very close to doing some

exterior paint work and I should be

ordering the the epoxy primer certainly

in the next week or so and I imagine in

well within two weeks were stopped on

the exterior paint so it's a very

exciting stage of the build but for now

we're still fitting out inside trying to

make it nice

[Music]

but the first thing you'll probably

notice is Terry stands there

visit we had entirely accession and

that's the the tiling all the time is

going in is now done leader on with the

class of multi Jeanette this is this is

the glue that I used for the year tiling

and it's something for me

that's probably knew it some polymer

based glue flexible waterproof and the

thing that made it particularly

attractive was that in the spec tree it

said that it sticks to epoxy coatings

and also with the idea that it will

probably be okay to glue that the PVC

flooring in the his and yesterday

there's a lot of test pieces a bit of a

bit of that PVC floor adjusters kept

scrapping a scrap of plywood

you see I stuck it on there and and

two-phase that stick pretty damn well so

that's quite quite a successful test I

would say and I've got enough left over

from the tiling to do the PVC flooring

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

you

I'm not an expert Tyler by no means but

I've done a few bits and I did work with

a very very good Tyler once as a laborer

he was the Tyler I certainly don't claim

to be a great Tyler but it's quite warm

please read all of all comment on this

is Adam when I when I was working with

that Tyler I just mentioned he extolled

the virtues of expensive tiles or when

he cut at our knees you know cut

beautifully because it was expensive

time and it's a hard like cream

it was his favorite same and it cut

nicely we say almost always did well

these tiles are not cheap but perhaps

the giveaway is so if you're gonna be

able to read it I'll hold up to the

camera can you read that

possibly it says the magic words made in

Thailand

yep I don't mind not all time product I

don't mean that at all written perhaps

suffice to say that these aren't the

easiest targeted cut so I come with a

standard tile cutter and some of them

came out well quite a few didn't which

meant I was down to lift nipple looking

with the pincers after that clearly you

can have a very expensive tile cutting

machine which is basically the table saw

with a dharma wheel on it or ceramic

wheel on it but I haven't got one old

school which is the way is is kind of

the way this boat has been built wasn't

it it's pretty much largely anyhow old

school but in it so I'm captain old

school with a tile cutter and then if

they don't cut properly I'm done with

with pincers but they come out well they

come out a little bit of patience please

do that and on that topic you might

remember yeah if you've watched all of

these videos you've seen some the old it

was I had a few tongue tip Tony's talk

tips which were all a bit a bit

tongue-in-cheek if we're honest the

tongs are shown but well I was honest

though that

as I showed other tools I have and the

tours I've used I've bought very very

few tools for this program but really

the point that those talk tips wasn't to

recommend any of those particular tools

it was just to show you the tools I've

got and I used this Bogle and the point

behind it was that you really don't need

expensive quality tools from a one-off

boat build you know it was a pretty

ordinary kid that's a no need to invest

in a tireless table sore unless you're a

professional toddler that's a different

matter if you just do a little bit like

I do a little bit now and again I will

school it's fine let's cut it

[Applause]

[Applause]

you

very minor job but we've got that one of

the grasslands in there first at the

cabin lights still waiting on them

there's we swept the floor Eric

[Music]

[Applause]

you

so we've got the stove out with a boat

in hand started giving it a cleanup

obviously dismantle bit first

good I'll scrub to get a part ready for

some renovation work needs a few bits

and pieces clips and screws from a stove

top you need to be new probably need a

new exhaust out on there and put a bit

of fire cement around the belt generally

just looking pretty good that seemed

good Nick

I just cleaned up quite well pleased

with it depression

[Music]

something about that they're quite a

simple thing these the oven you've got

what you've got with these if you're not

familiar with the Dickinson it's got

this I haven't cleaned the diesel valve

yet but these are valve covers we carry

mounts on the side of the stove this is

a very simple thing it's got a float

valve in it that sets the level of

diesel in there it's it's the level of

diesel down here it's a little level of

diesel to be roughly speaking level with

the top of that pipe there the top of

that pipe is joined into this pipe here

so the diesel level was there on the top

of that goes one of these this is just a

copper block with a pipe coming out of

it it sits on that pipe in the stove

there you put something in there to get

it burning and that warms up the copper

obviously then the diesel expands a bit

and atomizes through the air comes down

and starts burning completely simple

it's very little to go wrong with them

so burns the diesel in there then also

the lids on here and the exhaust and the

heat has to travel over this way down

there so it's all around this oven box

basically and out the vent out through

the exhaust out here and you've got the

option you've got a flatter to bypass

out if you

would you say or for lighting perhaps

when that shot is traveling all around

the oven box and that goes it's a really

really simple you've got a small

electric fan in the bottom they're

puppets it's all electric fan in the

bottom that you can use when lighting or

if you really want to fire it up and

that just fits to control love with free

I imagine the resistors are a bit newer

these fits to a controller with three

resistors of it pre through very

old-fashioned resistors on it with

sample the beauties on it it just gives

you three speeds reach speeds controller

for the bank really you could barely

beat similar very nice I was cleaning up

well please a bit I've contacted to

supply for some spare parts they're

going to get back to me I put it today

and get some spare parts on orders get

it back together and

[Music]

but falling down in there in the hits I

took a chance with this I've used the

same adhesive that I used on the tiles

and whilst for the tiles is fine I did a

test piece and they seemed to stick but

it was a small test piece and the chance

I've taken this way that this glue will

actually dry off because it's a moisture

curing adhesive and it's between a liner

of PVC and epoxy boards there's a risk

involved

we will not deny that is down it seems

to be okay it's not completely set off

but the spec sheet is seven days to a

funkier for this Blues we will say if it

comes out or if I end up ripping it up

and doing it again hotel and then for

now it's down obviously needs some

tidying up around the edges but it's

looking pretty good

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

you

[Applause]
