After a couple of weeks of squeezing myself into the lazarette to fit the diesel tank, I'm now squeezing myself into the engine room!

how we sure

[Music]

hi all i'm tony this is svita badger

we're building a cruising sailboat

and been busy this week busy every week

started off a couple of things happened

in the lazarette you

you know i've been working in there

recently and uh

one thing i wanted to do is is to i'm

putting in a

kind of force floor in the lazarette

i've mentioned before

and i wanted to put some pieces around

the inside of the hull

that that false floor will sit on um

and i wanted to cut them into the curve

of the hull and they sort of

they as i say provide the support for

that false floor but also

um add reinforcement to the to the hull

i i decided to laminate these pieces

because the aft end of the hull has got

quite a curve to it

so first thing i did was i cut a form to

the shape of the hull

that would form the basis for the

lamination of those those pieces

all right

so

so

[Music]

yeah then obviously the next job is to

laminate some thin

strips on that form to to get the shape

of the hull

and i used some bits of dug fur and a

couple of bits of black locust that i

had

was off cuts eight millimeters thick

five layers

laminated them up to get that that strut

to go on the inside of the hull

glued them with kilano semperock the

foaming moisture curing polyurethane

when it's dry it comes out as a lovely

shaped piece of wood as you can imagine

[Applause]

sorry about that

[Music]

[Music]

yes

[Music]

[Laughter]

one more time

another big project this week was was

the engine room

which is behind carriage head we came to

the conclusion after a bit of thought

that it's probably wisest to drop the

engine out

and i spent a bit of time sat in the

engine room looking at it

thinking scratching my head you know and

there are a few bits in there that need

shaping up and there's a bit of trimming

to make the best of the engine room

it needs cleaning out and it's painting

probably some insulation in there um

slightly some insulation

so it just made the most sense to drop

it out so we took it out

the other evening of me and sat there

now as you can tell

and then over in the engine room the

under lazarette storage panel in

position

and that's got two parts of storage in

it one you can see it's quite clearly

there that has a drop out board for

a bit of storage in the engine room that

would just be for engine spares

and bits and bobs and the other one is

in here carrie

was accessed through the quarterback

which is a nice big bit of storage under

the quarterback there

and clearly we had to cut a hatch out

for that

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

so it's all in progress the panels

most of them have been glassed both

sides

if it hasn't been glassed it's just been

coated with with

epoxy several coats of epoxy

and ready to assemble now pretty much

we'll be gluing it in

and then obviously clean up trim paint

get it all kitted out in there get that

engine back in

have a looking nice

foreign

[Applause]

[Applause]

ah

hey

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

please

well there you go guys thank you for

watching um a couple of things perhaps

new merch coming up we've got so i've

got a new batch of t-shirts

um they'll be in the shop soon as soon

as as soon as i can find the time to get

the

website sorted out they'll be in the

shop

something i should say for our

american viewers is that it has been up

until

last week it's been impossible for us to

post anything from germany to

to the us uh due to covet restrictions

they've opened it up now this week it is

now possible for us to post

but only open via sea

which means delivery times three or four

weeks something like that as i

understand it so no air freight to the

u.s but sea freight is now

possible so um we'll be sending a couple

of things off u.s bound soon

in europe no issue at all um i know

nothing about australia unfortunately

probably by sea probably open by sea

again now it was also

not possible to post australia but

anyhow t-shirts in the shop soon

see postage possible worldwide regular

postage

in this facility i guess um

and last mention we've got a patreon

thing going on

various tiers starting as little as one

dollar a month

and not only that but patreon now allows

you to pledge in euro

and british pounds i believe so uh

can be as little as one dollar one euro

or one british pound a month

more is always possible thanks for

watching

see you next
