The galley sink pump handles are finally complete after a long time of thinking about how best to repair them; the companionway lower step gets a catch and is then installed; and the cockpit gets a lick of paint!

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. You make a real difference!!

hi i'm tony this is sv departure

we're building a sailboat um a 32 foot

basically speaking

32 foot sailboat um that's designed

to be capable capable enough to

to cross oceans perhaps and uh yeah this

is the video log of the build of this

boat

and we're gonna start off this week with

a

uh you know a very sort of minor job in

a way but but one of those things and

there are a few things

on a boat that take

quite a long time to do even though

they're very small

you might remember last week we fitted

this this bronze cleat in the background

here and you may have got

an idea from that how much work is

involved in fitting just a very simple

bit of

debt hardware and it's sat there now i'm

very pleased with it but um

you know a lot of effort goes into

something as simple as that

um as i say we're starting this week

with something

[Music]

comparable in many ways a small thing

that took an

awful long time let's have a look

[Music]

[Music]

we see it all in black and white

and painted all so recently

i sit and wonder what we seem to know

how we're sure it goes out

you'll make the sauce i'll make the door

soon we'll see what it's about

[Music]

yeah all centered around here um you

know in the galley

the two sinks we've got here i've got

these hand pumps mounted you may have

seen me

you know cleaning up the pump unit

themselves quite a while back

and they're old english pub

beer pumps that i'm using for pumping

water one for fresh one for salt

i'm rather fond of the idea because

obviously you need no electricity

and you can meter how much water you use

gives you good control of how much water

you're using

but the issue i had i've had these pumps

for a long long time

but even when i got them obviously they

were second hand

they dated back from the i don't know

1940s or so possibly older than that

but even when i got them there was a

thread on the top

of there and uh moulded into this

plastic whatever that is baker light or

some sort of fairly early form of hard

plastic

and the thread was broken and it had

been glued together and i in fact glued

it together once as well

but it hadn't survived the years well

and for a long time

i've been sort of thinking about how to

get

over that issue because the top section

which is this this top section here

screws onto that thread and and

completes the handle so i wanted to do

something about it and and

now i've got the little chinese lathe i

thought i could make up a part that

would do the job

um now we're going to get into the

making of that very soon but

first of all i'll tell you that there's

a whole section of this that i've left

out

first of all this thread in this top

section

threads in there um is a one inch

eight threads per inch thread

so unc and i believe one inch width

worth is the same size

um anyhow one inch unc three

and bolts or threaded

rod well a thread involved will be far

too long but bolts of that diameter

aren't easy to get of that thread aren't

used to get here in

germany but i did manage to find one

bolt a little steel and i started off

making a piece out of that

and uh nearly finished it actually and

then

i thought no i don't like this i just

don't want it to be steel it

will probably last even if i seal it

paint it whatever

it's probably going to rust so i went

back to the step one back to the drawing

board

bought a bit of brass

and started from there

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

well here's the piece of brass

beautiful piece of brass um inch

diameter

or 25 mil actually fractionally under an

inch but

basically inch diameter and

obviously i had to cut a thread on it

now

the reason why it started with a steel

bolt

is that i didn't have a thread color

didn't have a one-inch

unc thread color

so when i moved over to brass obviously

had to buy a die

and i picked this one up here and hold

that up to the camera

beautiful die uh one inch eight threads

per

inch lovely and that's all very well but

when it arrived

it became clear that i didn't have a die

holder big enough for it i've got

i've got a whole selection i've got this

is just one of many i've got this is the

biggest one though

and as you can tell there's no no way

that's going in there

i also have and i thought this would

probably do the job

a piece here that i made up for

threading on on a lathe i made this

years ago at brighton tech um but also

it's got holds two different sizes of

dye but

nowhere near big enough

what to do clearly

here's the thing guys you know last

night last night i was watching leo

tally ho as i often do

late at night and he's got that

beautiful thread cutting machine hasn't

he and and

you know when you watch these boat books

and i'm not knocking anyone here but

when you watch these builders leo or

dargah seeker

you know they've got tools for every

piece of equipment you could possibly

imagine and that's not the way it is for

some of us

is it let's face it um so you have to

get a bit inventive

i could have gone out and paid money

bought a bigger diet holder that i'll

probably only ever use once could have

done

but you've seen me before i think when i

had to cut a very small thread i didn't

have a small enough die holder on a hill

to die

in in a pair of more grips and

so i tried to start to look around see

what i could do

i tried mole grips i tried a few

different things and

eventually settled on a pair of

steelsense and worked out that i could

hold this thing

in a set of steelsons as long as

and this is a die it hasn't got a split

in it this dies it's just got this notch

down there plus that plus the divits for

the

three screws and a notch here but not a

split all the way through like i'd like

a dye to have actually

but i worked out i've got a bit of trial

and error

if i held it in a pair of stillsons with

a nail down in that slot it would grip

enough

and i could cut the thread

oh

look at that

[Applause]

well

[Applause]

ugh

um

uh

uh

crazy

wow

[Laughter]

my

that's the one

uh

and there we have i hope you can see

that there we have

the finished article with the nut

that threads onto the bronze central rod

and the one inch eight threads per inch

on the brass there and that also

a step on the end that locates down

inside of there so that locates that

holds it all nice and

firmly in place

and obviously our top

[Music]

there we have it lovely

oh yes

oh yes

very pleased with that

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

so

[Applause]

uh

that's nice japanese steps

got that done you might remember last

week i had

i made a baton up it was in the workshop

and i just screwed that in position

there

fitted this catch to the board and

you'll see

back end of that board slides under that

mount

[Music]

just sits down there like that and it is

well and truly held in position

might well need to touch up the varnish

a little bit here but

happy

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

so

and as you can probably tell getting a

bit of paint on the cockpit well there

three coats of epoxy sealer primer on

there now

another three to go and a bit of top

coat coming on looking good

and that's it for this week thanks for

watching curious you know

that youtube stuff subscribe button

one of those lovely things the bell next

to it um

we'll be back next time uh pushing on
