The main mast step build is finished, the main mast partners fitting is all welded up, I buy a new machine and some wildlife comes to check us out! This is the story of the building of a Jay Benford designed, 31.8ft, junk schooner-rigged cruising sailboat. The videos are a week-by-week record of the build as it progresses and aim to show as much detail as possible of the various aspects of the build. These videos take a lot of time and effort to make, in what is already a time-intensive project. Your support in watching, subscribing and sharing these videos is very much appreciated.

um i should

say straight away this week that it

could be a short one i

haven't actually started editing but um

it's going to be a short week because

tomorrow we're off up to hazel's boat

spend a few days up there together ready

man is to

to launch intention is to launch her

boat next saturday so we've got a few

things to do up there

quite a lot to do actually so i say

heading up there tomorrow

to get on with that so it's been a short

week on departure this week

but nonetheless got a bit done and let's

start off here

you know what it needs the main master

so the dummy mast got made a bit shorter

and as you see

main mast steps looking pretty pretty

a bit of solid to put a seal a bit of

epoxy

some epoxy sealing around it here just

make sure everything's watertight

but yeah looking pretty substantial

we've got a limbo hole through to this

section of bilge

um it sure looks pretty

serious and obviously when the mask go

in as is tradition they'll be going in

with the coin underneath them which

is not only a tradition as if you think

about it the coin also makes the bottom

of

the foot of the mast just sit up a

little bit so the water can drain around

it and i think

that's the purpose of the coin actually

i don't think i don't think it's just a

cute

tradition i think it has reason but

we'll certainly be putting a coin in

there

and luckily we have quite a lot

of sp to practice challenge coins and

get one of those

under each mast so that's the camera

looking good i think pretty solid

get some build plane on it epoxy seal

first of all so some beads of epoxy

around there

some bilge paint on there that would be

good and then i think

we're to a stage where it's time to

start putting the hardwood finish down

on the

on the cabin travel boards the parts of

the stove chimney

are on their way i've heard from

dickinson europe

they're on their way so well

quite possibly next video i'll show you

those say a few words about that

it'd be nice to get that chimney in and

then that's the stove just about ready

to go

and i'll say in here we're getting there

[Applause]

[Applause]

um

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

good

on this one

so yeah a grind on that drawler

see that

13 millimeter drill stick it in

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

you know what that is sonia main mass

partners fitting

all wounded up and i have to say very

happy with the welding

you know practice makes better

and learn a bit just technique

and also use different rods

so you know the rods that you choose to

use the electrodes make a

massive difference particularly

particularly i don't know

massive difference with the sort of

simple basic

arc welder that i'm using and uh these

have come out

very well some of these worlds are

beautiful very very pleased

so i won't be grinding them down a good

old polish up

through the grits like i did with the

other one and it's ready to fit

good stuff

lovely

[Applause]

uh

[Applause]

let's do a fraction

perfect finish

that's good that's really good

nice

i'm happy it was my birthday about a

month ago

and uh i wanted to treat myself to

a little lathe and it's finally arrived

it's taken a while to get here

um but i'm very pleased with it you know

it's very small obviously but

um it's going to be good first job is

going to be

to make a little adapter for that

overflow tank for the stove

there's a few things i've got in mind to

make up

um and it's arrived basically in working

condition

it runs up and uh yeah very cute

happy

ah sorry

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

hey

[Applause]

i got it

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

guess i didn't record that i just sanded

that like that

[Applause]

i don't know

so

so

yeah so the main mast partners

who prepped the deck and the same sort

of style we did with the forward mast

drilled out and epoxy filled the holes

so ready now to re-drill

um yeah and that's just about ready to

go on if you remember the old

things waiting to be polished but then

that's ready and should be fitting that

soon

nice it's looking good i think put that

back in there

keep the leaves and whatever out

that's it for this week as i say a few

days up at hazel's

i should be back here saturday i think

saturday late saturday evening so sunday

the goods getting on progress is good

i'll say get that partners feeling

fitted

get the mast step painted and sealed

and uh perhaps the perhaps the stove

parts will be here to get on with those

i've got a few electric

parts to do as well i bought a negative

bus a big big heavy

bar duty the negative battery
