The mini lathe gets some extra kit and is used to make its first piece; the main mast partners fitting is polished and dry fitted; the forward bulwark combing caps are sanded and varnished; the stove chimney parts arrive and the through deck fitted is prepped; the main mast step is painted along with some other bits; Hazel's boat gets some new bits and also gets to float again. 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.

hello

i'm tony espizza patia we're building a

cruising silver

it's been a busy week um started off

this week up at

hazel's boat um getting her ready to

launch

and a few other bits that we needed to

do up there so that was the first few

days of this week and then

been onto patio for the rest of the week

we've got quite a lot done

happy with progress it's been a busy

week but a lot of progress

let's have a look last week i showed you

the mini lathe the new one

and you know they don't come fully

equipped they can come with a few

few tools and whatever but they're not

completely

equipped it comes with a just a dead

support dead center

for the tail stock and you do not get a

tail stock

chuck so i purchased this one separately

and when it came i had a very long end

on the tang

and when i put it into the tail stock

um first of all we had to wind the tail

stock out a fair way to get that get the

taper to

bite and then it stuck out quite a long

way i was supposed to suppose a bit like

that

something like that and that's all

oh i suppose so and then just by pure

for instance i was

on youtube you know source of loads of

good information

there's a fella an english fellow

talking about these and

exactly this chart tailstock chuck

and what he told me was that uh just

need to cut the end off

which i would never have considered to

be honest with it

[Applause]

so i did that cut it good bit off and it

and

i sort of guessed how much judging by

how much he appeared to cut off

and i guessed it bang on by pure luck

really

because when i whacked that in there now

it's just come in hazel

you probably won't see it because the

light's not that good but the zero mark

is there

and and i can well wind that back to the

zero mark

so that's excellent

nice great little trucks is you know

it's quite a big chunk for this

goes up to 16 millimeter but really you

know

hold well and also they go down to

nothing that's the beauty of them

so you could hold you know a tiny

drawback in it

i also purchased a set of center drills

that's okay yeah

because you don't get them one or two

more bits needed i need to buy a

knurling tool i need to buy a

parting tool although i do have a very

thin cutting tool but it's not

i should still buy a parting tool but

it's coming on well and i made my

first piece on it you know a fairly

simple piece but

i made my first piece and it's fitted on

the boat

[Music]

let's see what happens

[Music]

right there

10 millimeter hours 600 meters

simple

[Music]

here we are several hours later 3000

grit

the last bit which now may not

dark it's taking a while

nice little bit

[Applause]

hello

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

that's what you want to see never hit

the sawdust

[Music]

yep

don't forget our vehicles

then the main mast part is fitting as

you can tell is now

in position although it's not

permanently fitted

i've put the bolts up through um just to

hold it in position but

i cannot fit it until

we're out of the shed because it's too

high it won't go out the door

if i fit that um so the

hatch turtle is not fitted either i'll

just

lift off i'll have to unbolt the

main partners fit in here and lift those

off when we drag her out and then fit

them permanently after that

but they're looking good polished up

well did the whole pallava through the

grits you know

let's come up well happy with that

that's that done

so

have a bit of a sand on this they're

combing caps here

and uh starting to get some varnish on

i've got two coats on so far

masked it up and just finishing that off

ready for

the color out through the doors there

together outside

i think we'll be draping a tarp over the

front end anyhow but

but it's important to have it sealed up

and finished

[Music]

so

[Music]

and there is the beautiful gray mars

step

paint is actually only one coat so far

she'll put a second coat on it

but uh let's come up nicely also second

coat

in there and in that motor bilge

and uh if you just walk this way a

little bit

pop that out

something i was going to say you know

these boats have very little in the way

of a build

and uh one of the benefits of this this

bottom step that i constructed

is that we do get forms a nice deep

motor bilge in there as well

which is the place where water is most

likely to collect if

if anywhere a lovely deep motor building

there and a good place to put a

build pump or two a manual and an

electric build pump in there

so that's actually quite an improvement

having that stepping

i feel um you know what i've heard other

people with with similar boats with

bedford doors tell me they're very dry

that's how we get a couple of georgia

pumps back in there

and probably just a small build pump in

the main boat i think

[Applause]

there it is

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

ladies

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

now

[Music]

[Music]

hmm

[Applause]

yeah let me make up a little thing to do

that with it

that's that yeah there's the

the stove chimney in position just needs

a sort of a

wedge shaped circle so that it sits

upright and should be approximately

there of a thought

but that's nice happy with that

also ready to fit clearly another thing

that can't be fit until we're out

although

the actual top only pushes onto

the deck fitting so it's not a problem

to remove that at the moment

the chimney parts arrived from dickinson

for the

dickinson bristol stove so i've got this

section with the barometric damper in it

the deck through deck fitting and the

chimney top

plus a length of pipe that will be cut

to length to

fill the gap this is the sort of

underdeck

decoration piece really it's taking a

while to get these chimney parts um

and i've been to and throw in a bit with

dickens in europe

and uh they were great you know it's a

fella they're based in the netherlands

um and a fellow called villain or willem

seems to be the uh

the man to deal with there very very

helpful he's been very patient with me

i changed my order a few times also

because this is such an

old bristol the chimney was smaller than

the newer bristols have so

parts were sent to and fro a bit but

villain or willem was brilliant and i

can

really recommend dickinson europe i was

very very happy

with their customer service outstanding

customer service

so i'm sure speak up for them and i did

not

request any youtubing discount this is

just me

telling you they did a great job and

i'm very happy with them as i said

we went up to hazel's boat with lana

wally and

did quite a bit of work up there and uh

four days

four days basically tuesday wednesday

thursday friday saturday five days

up there launched cover afloat

and yeah it was a busy time busy and

tiring time

okay noisy outside because they're

craning in aren't they but what's going

on

uh we're at the boat hey

uh we just did the main straw

power yeah yeah put a fuse box in it

then we want those

those fine sensing fuses

yeah new shore power connection new

socket for the battery charger

yeah and connected through to there you

see the glowing led over there and the

heat is running over by hazel

so that's good and then what else have

we got to do oh

a lot of things uh we've got to put the

tank in while it's in already but it

needs to be fixed in

the diesel tank yeah yeah um

the composting toilet needs to be or

something some filling and some painting

and

yeah yeah um anti-fowl of course

naturally

and clean all the bottom yeah and we

want to polish the top sides as well

don't we

yeah yeah polisher um the taps

yeah yeah the hand pump taps yeah

and that is about it we're going to get

one section of bilge in front of the

diesel tank that you want there's a beer

storage is that right yeah

dad said it was a brilliant idea yeah

what it is

everyone needs a beer store it can be

used for other things

yeah other things are possible yeah

good one yeah

nice so it is the afternoon of

day two isn't it hayes yes so what we

done

uh well i've been doing the

hull all day yeah it looks like it

stayed here

see sandy will scrub the hull off

basically i mean it prepped it for

antifa

yeah and then if i spin around we'll see

the

galley is back together uh whale hand

pump

mounted there and in the head same story

rail hand pop mounted um

yeah that doesn't sound like very much

oh yes you did the

sort of prep for the diesel tank fitting

yeah yeah a lot of prep work for that

yeah yeah so that's day two uh still

we're not finished day two

we're gonna do a bit more yet about to

go and try and find an extension cable

aren't we yeah

yeah they're knocking down some boat

shows next door shakes the entire ground

like an earthquake man yeah and yeah

getting on yeah

[Music]

plenty of noise though

[Music]

we've also got a new shore power plug in

there

and if i open up this cockpit lockup you

will see

if it's light enough to see anything

which it may not be

sure power installation fuse box

socket plug for the battery charger

that goes on to the ball power and

obviously comes back

after to the supply cable and

socket what are you doing there is

um wet and dry wet and dry sanding yeah

getting those rust stones off yeah yeah

yeah the other side has been done

doesn't it so it looks pretty darn good

doesn't it

beautiful i was prepped under the water

line

scrubbed that all the way around

and we've gone around with a polish

machine on the on the what i should call

white is more of a buff

and used to cut and paste on that to

bring it back to

at least closer to its original color

scan up there for you

about to do the green stripe there

get that green stripe there and then

we'll be ready for some antivirus

and then here we fitted the galley sink

and hand pump

and the same in the head just to show

you that same pump in the heads

and the

normal pump out toilet is still under

construction

but we're getting there they're all

hooked up the pumps

uh the tank's empty at the minute but

when we get some water in they should

theoretically at least work

looking good

does that not need electricity it's just

not

incredible yeah isn't it water comes out

of attack without electricity

does that mean it will work even if your

batteries were flat it would it does

yes that doesn't mean that amazing yeah

where's the washing machine uh right

here

so it's the day before launch is hazel

over here

there she is what are you doing hazel

i'm trying to make a fruit

net fruit net this sounds like essential

launching work yeah

good stuff and uh it's good

nice and that plan is to hang it

from that wooden cross member to

that eye in the ceiling there that one

there

state of play is that the

sort of temporary-ish floorboards where

we had to cut the hole for the tank

they're just about done

i'm sure later i'll make up some nice

floorboards with the teak and

super more stripes little hole up there

still to do as you can tell

under this board here the bilges painted

out with one coat as the hose yeah

second coat to go um other than that as

we showed you the other day

taps are working we actually got the

kettle on which is very nice

things are coming together um heads just

about

finished and the boat is starting to

look a bit more

ship shape isn't it

working in a tight space

so this is the fruit is it yeah there's

the fruit

the fruit oh there's the fruit go for it

oh this is exciting

oh no ah at home
