well hi everyone here we are again on

the foredeck this week we've done a fair

bit in the engine room we'll look at the

engine room in a bit progress there it's

been good

we've done another couple of things I'm

not sure if you've seen yet ever look

they're hazel the whole fuller through

partners for the forward mast that's

been cut in position they're obviously

cut in the right position and the

bowsprit on the front if you scan around

again those the bowsprit is fixed in

position good combo ah yeah the bowsprit

that took a bit of fabrication there

when you see it you'll see there are two

stainless sides there ten millimeter

thick ten centimetres wide stainless

side pieces underneath then there's a

piece of the same material welded across

ways and in that underneath piece I

drilled two holes and tapped threads

into them so I could put some stainless

bolts welded in stainless studs in there

sticking out and there will be a piece

that attaches there and runs down the

bow that still to be made but I've made

a start it's not finished with where the

barrel was going to fit I've changed my

original plan and I've now put a 40

millimeter stainless bolt through at the

front and I still need to machine the

bronze sleeve that goes on that to take

the roller and their cheek pieces the

spirits in position it's fixed it's

glued

bolted it's there

you

and that reminds me I was gonna mention

this carrier was using this this 1/2

inch ratchet to tighten up the bolts on

the bowsprit there and remind me it's a

king craft I'm not sure if the make

still exist but I bought this is the

first ratchet I ever bought and I was

probably 14 or something when I bought

this ratchet and fairly soon after I

bought it this piece that you used for

changing the direction of the ratchet

fell off and I made this piece at school

in myth will work at school and and

silver soldered it on and it's been on

there ever since

which is quite a while but point being

this is a brilliant ratchet apart from

that back piece falling off which was

easily mended I've had that ever since

I've used it a lot it's the only half

interaction I've got so all 1/2

interaction thing I've ever done in my

life I've done with this ratchet it's a

brilliant wretched and I've got 2 or 3

snap-on ratchets no more I've got

several slip on ratchets and you know

this fetch it this kink rafter actually

I never service it I never take it apart

oil it clean it it's it's just been

brilliant for quite a long time what a

great tool not very expensive and yeah

that's all by the buyer isn't it the

engine room is the other thing we've

done and in there where to the stage now

we're ready to fit the engine which is

which is really quite exciting I'll

please develop in the engine room this

week the first thing I did was go to the

sand so we've done the fiberglass and we

took any any sharp edges off any callers

you know sanded up

[Music]

[Music]

and then a coat of clear epoxy over that

just to seal it all one more time and

then it's been painting in there so I've

given it two coats of epoxy primer to

seal it and then I've just today just

done the second coat that builds paint

on the floor the sides are only partly

but I did but the floor and the engine

bed it all painted well you'll see that

in a bit

looking good so I said we're at a stage

now where we can get the engine put in

tomorrow I also fitted the engine

adapter plate adapter plates to the end

your bed so they're on and you remember

I still need to make up a couple of

brackets they come from those adapter

plates down to bolt through the floors

just to give it all that final beefing

up but it's looking good look sealed it

looks great I'm very happy with that and

I say we'll get the engine in tomorrow

that would be a great step forward

progress indeed as usual yes but getting

on
