hi-yah speech pattern I'm Tony and if

you watched last week now you'll be

aware that last week the video

concentrated on just one job which was

the forum anchoring of these work tops

the hates and handiwork tops so the

entire video I say show up one thing and

this week is going to be quite different

because around that about that there's

been all sorts of bits going on so you

know as you will no doubt be aware

because the only thing in the news at

the moment where we're in very strange

times shops um mainly shut the hardware

stores like them dig in here now but

this is rather hard to get bits

restricted access to those hardware

stores the number of people in any one

time as you're suited so there's only

certain times of the day you can go and

get in unless you prepare to queue up

for a long time which my favorite

activity getting bits to be harder and I

like ordering things online as well from

various suppliers and the delivery of

online purchases is often distinctly

slower alone so getting this is

difficult is not the right word but in

this

different taking the stuff that you need

to build so I've got little bits going

on all over the place and other things

waiting for parts or materials to arrive

and we just have a quick look around

some of that I think so a couple of

weeks ago you'll remember probably that

I was making up this cherry wood board

and what we've got farmers to get it

melted it's got eight coats of Epiphanes

varnish on it

which took eight days without notice and

then the clocks out the Brahmas is up

the lights out it's wired up melted in

position very tidy

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

I've ordered a sharp light which is

going to melt on here with a swan neck

thing to come out there for the extra

chart reading light

so that's on its way I'm also I've

probably here I've got these old brass

lights I've had for a long time with the

regular bayonet balm fitting but I've

got adapters to led for those I gave

them a bit of a cleanup they're gonna

come up in here on each side and I've

ordered lights for this end I may have

sent that to you before which that order

that I think in February and they're

still here the delivery date now is

looking at the middle of May I think it

takes a while sometimes when I've got

this stainless don't like that it's

going to go in the heat and I've had

this for a long time so it's a nice good

quality light and when I came to fit it

the wirings in through the heads up with

the whirring I only came to fit it the

switches program so I'm just what I

ordered ten days or so ago and just

proceeded the switch and figured the

little you switch in there for why they

let me get it melted more about it in

here gently in here will be the wire

that we used and I've actually it's the

first time ever problem reserved and use

proper and throughout this product I've

used tinned multi core why that's a

roller for the wire is silicon white

it's a reflectable multi core tinned

it's very nice white but some tinder is

not cheap as it used it in the past and

yeah that's what I'm wiring with running

through it so I've got that nail to

whirring those brass lights that I was

telling you about

like the hates coming in soon

this

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

I've been a bit of a dog here lots of

things going on here what the toilet

itself is just stood in position it's

but it's there's the toilet and thanks

makes your hand easy for me to talk to

you from PVC flooring for the heads area

is that the moment just cut to shave

he's not glued in it's cut and shape

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I've got to get the globe to blow it

down maybe this evening and if you can

see in here can you see in there I've

started to some screw sticking out but

I've started laminating up this curve

section that fills in that and there's a

purpose to this it's because I want

these posts to act as grant post but

when you're in a Seaway looking through

it you got to get in there and grab that

so that will be just rounded off here or

smoothed off that gives you good access

to those posts and this piece in here

that are making out on laminating up

have a three millimeter aircraft plywood

Suzy's got really thin plies I think

they're six ply ply wood on a three

millimeter thick boards of obviously

half millimeter thick each ply so very

very thin and I hoped it would be super

flexible and it wasn't sorry I've never

struggled to laminate that up in there

to get a nice curve in there and you'll

see what I thought I think I think I the

first piece they out I tapped slots down

the back of it so that I could bend it

more easily I think I stole the idea

from meds

I think so I got it from somewhere on

YouTube that's a shot

you

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

and then after that after that of

putting narrow strips around laminating

it up in these what horde layer it pops

you one more layer on there and it'll be

four layers of free milk lighter 12 more

last one of the glue thicknesses but

it's already sounding quite sonic sounds

good that's coming up

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

you

last thing this week or is it for the

tires the tires arrived you might

remember a couple weeks ago I said I had

ordered the tires

these are tars of what we come under the

stove

we'll go down there on that side and

they will be wrong on that right there

swinging around them get that hose off

during the plastic wrapper I love it sir

but they gonna look nice please do those

getting on with that very soon in fact

that would be one of the next jobs

that's all that right there it's fit

along here and that's all been finished

these are still in under coats their

weight loss this that time image in the

boat bill where there's bits going on

everywhere hello he senses it's kind of

crazy but most enjoyable

let's cut there we're in the shade with

hazel yeah what's going on yeah we

bought in in England and we yeah on the

mainland yeah we did yeah

what we did we took the varnish off

sending it off and now it has two coats

of thin epoxy on it does he feel dry to

the touch now it does yes

good and rough do you think it needs no

a quick sand or no yeah so what'll

happen next is we give a quick flick

over with some sandpaper and then you're

going to obtain them I mean yes

the fine print and white so you can see

them and the sea right should you lose

them

yeah not but yeah good one so they're

guys so it's gonna be a quick flicks and

and then that Kotov or two coats of

undercoated si yeah looking good there

on a nice horse yeah but they're in good

Nick

yeah and a good Nick there were a bit

wet and the Sun that's why we have to

wait is that me yeah

strip the the varnish off on that they

were quite damp under the varnish right

yeah good

and that is a quick look around what's

going on this week guys those bits here

there and everywhere lots of little jobs
