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]
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
