The diesel tank vent or breather gets installed; I make a start cladding the ply boards of the cabin sole in oak strip; The bow roller is finally ready to fit and I make an unfortunate discovery about the mini lathe! 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.

my shaky steady hands

[Music]

i always feel so shaky though

[Music]

we see it all in black and white

[Music]

i'll make the door soon we'll see

what it's about

[Music]

we're building a cruising sailboat

i'm still wearing the same clothes yeah

okay so what we've been doing this week

and

one of the things that were last week

was all about making connections wasn't

it various fuel lines and things

and one of the things kerry and i did

this week was that we fitted the

the through deck fitting for the um for

the fuel tank

breather or vent and i've now hooked the

pipe up to that so that's all connected

yeah if you like these videos click the

subscribe button please it's a great way

to support us and help us get out

perhaps to

a wider audience so i need to try and

make up a through deck

fitting and i've got these parts here

some two

true design right angle fittings and a

bit of brass

pipe but sadly the threads on the brass

pipe are

too short or rather the shoulder in the

middle is too long so

i need to dig out my pipe threading kit

and see if i can

cut the threads a bit longer to make it

work

oh

i think this can be possible

so

it might work

i only just wants a little bit off of

that

just taking my lotto

[Laughter]

so

oh that's better

so hopefully that's in the right place

so

not particularly easy to see i'm afraid

this is

one of those bits of work where i'm in

the way all the time can't get a camera

and me in there but

fuel tank breathers in pleased about

that one of the big things i've been

doing

as you see behind me a bit of cabin soul

in position all done with seven coats of

varnish on that once

um so start making start in the cabin

sole and

various boards some of these boards here

i'm going to redo because i'm not happy

with the layout but up as

far as here actually that's all good and

i'm

in the process of cladding them

and send them back obviously varnishing

them

[Applause]

oh

[Applause]

[Applause]

so

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

trim

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

uh

[Laughter]

[Music]

so

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

my

[Music]

so

here's one of the boards i'm just lining

up the cladding

i've gone for these two rather jaunty

mahogany stripes that will run

the whole length of the boat on either

side run the whole length from the not

the whole length of the boat but the

whole length of the cabin soles are

should lead your eye nicely down that

length and

quite pleased with those quite good i

think

[Applause]

god

[Music]

[Applause]

um

[Applause]

[Music]

making up this part to fit the bell

roller

all in bronze obviously and that will be

the

middle and it's just a little bit wider

than the roller

both sides obviously so when that's

clamped the roller itself will spin

um okay doing it on the little lady here

i've just discovered to my

chagrin i think it's a word but these

little lives are driven by

a rubber belt you know the advertisers

have metal gears which if you come

around the back carry you'll see

it does indeed have metal gears

that's all very well but the drive from

the motor to the metal gears is

transmitted by a little

rubber belt which is very wonderful and

so if you decide to buy it

it's really not bad it's it's quite a

capable machine in many ways but if you

decide to buy

one check the belt and order yourself a

load of spare belts is my tip i've just

bought

a couple on ali express

we'll see what happens maybe a few weeks

till they get here

um hopefully it's right it seems to be

the right one in the description

and if it's the right one i should buy a

low port that's for sure

that is a bit of a disappointment really

that

that is what transmits the drive

is

[Music]

so got it back up and running i've got a

nice um

is it gates but i've got a belt in here

on amazon rubber belt with an upgrade

i've ordered a couple of the original

ones from alibaba

maybe a few weeks but i did find uh a

belt of the same

tooth pitch on amazon eventually after a

fair bit of searching and and i've got

that in a few days

as is the nature of these things and

fitted it and it's working well actually

i think it's an

improvement and i'll probably post the

link to those belts

below this video just because i think i

say i think it's an upgrade

lathe's running well another upgrade i

fitted

this delightful sewing machine led

magnetic

with a what sort of a dimmer at least

yeah it's more of an on off dimmer that

works very nicely

this is a bit of light on the on the

chuck there

and uh yeah i'm quite pleased with the

little lathe

i was surprised as i said very surprised

to find that they were belt driven

because

one of the things one of the reasons why

i chose this lathe was

because the gears in the back you see

those gears there kerry

i took the cover off are all metal so

some of these have nylon gears some are

metal gears and i chose the one with

metal gears

and then was rather surprised to find

there's a rubber belt or a plastic belt

driving them but as i say the new belt i

think is an upgrade it seems to have

much more power with this new belt um

clearly the motor doesn't have more

power but it seems to transmit the power

much more effectively

with the new belt so yes running well

and great little tool

we've got this lovely we've got

roofers in next door so you might hear

that it was lovely bronze bell roller

that we had on this molly actually

and uh had to adapt it a little bit to

put it into these stainless

cheap pieces there the bell fit in there

and uh all i've done is

made up these pieces the belt roller

runs on this bronze roller

slides in there obviously and then two

cheek pieces machine to size either side

of it so it's got a little

gap there a little bit of play with all

fits up in

position and uh all in bronze

very pleased with that i can't fit the

roller

because if i do i can't shut the doors

so at the moment until we get it dragged

out

let's go straight off this is the bow

roller and it's home for now

yeah that's it for now guys that's it

for this week

thanks for watching give us all of that

please and uh

we'll be back see you next time bye

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

yeah is
