Sorry for taking the week off but we had a family tragedy and really needed some time for our family to heal. This week's episode was filmed before and edite...

well we keep plugging along

what is this date for I think it's day 4

look at this every day this gets a

little better sanding and layering just

getting that nice and strong I'm almost

ready for this cassettes to go back in

I've been prepping all of these little

holes and imperfections and making sure

I'm happy with this substrate before we

blast it in permanently well we're

getting close I've been bouncing between

the rudders and the bridge deck for two

reasons

well why there's one in the mornings a

little dewy so I don't want to be

working out here so I work under here

today we actually had a little bit of

marine layer that came in and dumped a

little bit of rain so we were under here

working so weathers one factor but the

other factor is your body

it's impossible to work over your head

for I would guess 80 to 100 hours of

prep it's gonna take for this

it's almost 500 square feet right here

so happen your hand over your head

scraping and sanding all day long it's

rough so I work a couple hours here

everyday a couple hours on the writers

everyday and I'll bounce back and forth

there then I'll pick another project

probably there through holes next and

then bounce back to this bridge decks

gonna take the longest I mean it's a ton

a ton of work and it was expected I knew

it would so let's keep plugging along it

by the time I don't know two weeks from

now three weeks from now when we have

all the other projects done we should

have this bridge deck job right why what

are you every time gone you always oh my

god you left twice I got hurt twice what

are the odds always okay officer

escaping well you take a break I'm good

[Music]

we're getting there

look at this

it seems like you're getting there until

you take a step back and you see

everything that we have to do I know

yeah it looks like we're scraping it

good but there's the detail still you

know blending all this in and filling

all this with a little fearing compound

all the little Nicks and cuts that's

that's gonna be the time and you know

what we're getting now already I mean

we're only a couple days into this okay

let's go some lunch okay I need to do a

little maintenance on these Sanders this

one's running the best right now but my

switch has gone bad this one runs okay

but the switch is good these Ryobi

Sanders I could probably get a thousand

hours use out of these I've tried all

Sanders believe me but the railways I

get the most use out of so I keep them

for parts and just keep using them these

guys are workhorses

it's that easy switch is replaced

I'll probably get other 500 hours use

out of this one

perfect

[Music]

so this bridge decks can take so much

time and we really haven't been tracking

our time cuz we're bouncing from this

project all the other projects just

because it gets too tiring on your

muscles doesn't it so I've marked out a

one square foot and we're gonna time how

long it takes Lin to scrape that one's

her foot and for me to stay in that wind

square foot we're going to multiply that

by how many square feet we have to give

us an idea of how much workload we have

too much okay keep going you're on a

timer

okay this stuff is sticky so you guys

seeing this stuff good I'll go to the

next one

time 8 minutes and almost nine minutes

so so this one relatively smooth about

nine minutes to do one square foot so

we'll get some measurements on this

fridge deck and do a quick calculation

okay 19 feet across times 25 long equals

475 square feet

times 9 minutes equals four thousand two

hundred seventy-five minutes divided by

sixty that's seventy one and a quarter

hours of sanding that's it okay for what

we're probably thirty hours into this

now so we've got a ways to go

it's the overhead work sanding Gloria's

glory and sanding something like that

not so glorious dis sanding huh

tons of it but we're getting there

okay are you telling me to get back to

work no good once you lay down here next

to me the Sun feels amazing in the past

it's too dirty

well good morning well I like this time

of the day

just getting started it'll walk around

the boat kind of look at what happened

yesterday and kind of get a grip for

what needs to happen today the Marine is

real quiet the yards quiet just a nice

time to get a grip here we are

next to a leopard 46 look at this this

boats got about two and a half feet on

us we have a little more beam but the

leopard weighs three times what we weigh

three times it's crazy

[Music]

check this out the yard hauled this out

yesterday

it's a derelict boat that DNR is going

to dismantle today

[Music]

and we have a front row seat it's too

bad I mean in the day this boat was

probably a beautiful boat you know you

look at the details

it's not like it's rotten it just needed

the right owner it's too bad sad in a

way

[Music]

then in a couple hours and excavators

coming in and they're gonna put it in

the dumpster

[Music]

okay

and now here's what's left of her sad to

think about all the memories that

somebody had on that boat all the owners

the places the boat traveled let's take

a look at her now see what's left it's

weird to think about but someday our

boat 50 years 100 years from now who

knows may have the same fate crazy well

it's a rainy miserable day that means

I'm working under the bridge deck here

you can see we've made some more

progress on sanding out the bridge deck

just little by little but I started

mocking up now this bridge deck

stiffener I'm gonna match the profile of

these other two stiffeners for this one

so I'm playing around trying to get this

the right width and I'm gonna extend it

all the way through here which ran right

through scuppered from the cockpit so I

just extended this scupper down we'll

run this through and I'll shave this off

a glass over this that way I don't

eliminate a scupper out of the cockpit

so let's get going on this today

okay a rift up all the material I needed

yesterday for the bridge deck stiffener

I'm using PVC lumber it's light

it does have some flex in it this is not

what's gonna give the bridge deck its

stiffening that's gonna come with the

laminations of glass clock over it and

layering enough to add the stability I'm

looking for but this gives me a nice

substrate with a material that's

lightweight and rot free can you reach

[Music]

on

as I'm working my way down this I'm

making slight adjustments on one side

with my synthetic shims just to make

sure I'm staying exactly the width that

I need

[Music]

well it's just piss down rain all day

yesterday but it wasn't too bad

worked under the bridge deck and look at

this starting to get my deck set around

that bridge deck stiffener it's starting

to take shape

so we'll just keep plugging along at

this hardest part was calculating out

some of these angles to match these

other ones so when you look across here

they all manage now that I've got the

calculations figured out I can put the

bottom cap off it before I do that I'm

gonna epoxy this all into the hole get

this all nice even radius into here we

use thickened epoxy with a colloidal

silica and I'll work this whole thing

this morning before I do that I want to

sketch the surface over all the way down

here I want that epoxy to stick nicely

if it is I'll do both the exterior and

anywhere I can reach in I'll do the

interior as well

what's the caps on then we could layer

glass cloth over this whole thing here's

my one of my cockpit scuppers it's

working nicely okay it's good to work

it's a new day and it looks like the

rain stopped

supposed to get started clearing up and

have four or five days of nice weather

supposed to be perfect we'll get a lot

done this is looking good heels been

working on the third stiffener for the

past couple days sanding this all down

and now we're getting the thick and

epoxy into all the joints molding it so

it's one solid piece

[Music]

this is just the last bit before we put

the cap on right let's see yeah I'll

stand this out we'll put the cap on and

then start laying a glass over it just

making a nice fill it here so the glass

sweeps into the bridge deck nicely okay

and we have a week of dry weather I know

we'll get like that so we'll take

advantage of that and get some glass

work done feeling good about this so far

yeah look down this it's uh it's 25 feet

long so I just did a 50 feet to fill it

right here how was your mixer you did

good

[Applause]

okay that's the last piece been working

my way down right here at the end I've

buttered up with thickened epoxy on the

backsides of these scuffed my PVC first

get one of these in

almost done and last one

the screws are just holding until the

epoxy cures

and there we go

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

it's one thing about working with this

PVC it when you router it it gets a

little static cling

[Music]

glad that's done okay got my radius on

here I can do it first thing in the

morning I don't want any wind cleanup

was a bear stuff just wants to stick to

everything look at this

got half a bag of these cyst wispy

little fibers I'd like to stick to

everything - oh well go clean down

pretty to start today okay who wants to

start this one of the great things about

being here in the yard right now is that
