hi all i'm tony this is sv to patch up

we're building a

cruising sailboat um been working this

week on the part that's fitting

it's progressing i i

am waiting on some more stainless for

the for the

struts that are coming up here the webs

that have come out here that will

also provide fixings for blocks for

various lines to fit to

it's coming on as you can probably see

there the

angle that was this is the forward

partners fitting the angle was critical

the deck obviously runs back from from

from the forward end runs back the mast

has a forward rake of two degrees so

getting that that angle in there was

was so critical but that's marked out

it's trimmed off at the bottom so as it

it's level with the

the underside of the deck i've got eight

12 millimeter fixing holes they'll be

bolted down to the deck

and i'm in the process of welding up as

i say i'm waiting on some more stainless

so

there's no immediate rush but it's

coming on nicely

yes progress there

we've got quite a collection of parts

arriving for hazel's boat project as

well

this is the corner of boxes of hazel

stuff

it's a diesel tank in that one there's

her new exhaust

parts in that one putting in the

complete new exhaust

toilet parts in that box up there plus

some

new gimbal weights for the stove and

various other bits

so i should be driving up there this

weekend

you know guys we've got a bit of a

patreon thing going on

and uh if you feel like supporting the

underdog

supporting the small guy um for the

price of a cup of coffee you can you can

support this project

support making these videos as little as

one dollar a month

so if you would like to support us get

over to the patreon site

it's a link in the description or at the

end of this video

and thanks

yeah i had a bit of an issue with the

fitting of this stove and not i've got

to fitting it yet but

the placement of this stove that's what

i'm saying

um the design the interior design of

this boat

is basically my own design um from

mr benfird the bottle heads uh exactly

per plans um and largely after that it's

my own desire but one thing i did try to

stick to is is that

on the plans mr benford has a dickinson

bristol

diesel stove which i happen to have that

was coincidence

and i've told you about it before but um

what he has is he has it fitted

against that bulkhead opening that white

and that is actually a mistake because

if you read up on the specs on these

stoves they cannot

fit that way around they cannot face far

enough

well they can but they'll only work when

the boats

set up right so they won't work on the

heel if they're facing far enough

so after a bit of head scratching i've

decided in the end to turn around

and face it as you see face to the

starboard side

um that way it will work on the heel

and the point is that this valve which

sets the diesel level

is in line with the burner which is

there and so

when you're healing those remain in line

and the stove will work but if it's the

other way around they won't

the the level will be all strange as you

heal in the with the bow so the stove

will probably go out

if it healed which is no good i think

so i've decided to fit it this way

around now

and the consequence of that was that my

under stove cupboard was was too

wide it came too far into the middle of

the boat so

i decided eventually to change it

i've now cut the under stove cover back

i've gained 10 centimeters four inches

of room

which is a good thing when it comes to

getting past the mast that will be there

as well

and that's now a decision and looking

better i think

there we go

[Applause]

[Music]

so

this is

[Applause]

so

yes

[Applause]

very impressive

[Applause]

wow

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

ah

[Music]

[Applause]

something like that

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

you'll probably remember that i said

that the goal was to finish the four

cabin

and it's you know it's almost finished

the partners fit and obviously has been

worked on but the other major thing in

here is the connections for the water

tanks and

uh i'm waiting on materials again i need

some i need a deck fitting for the water

filler

i need some hose and a couple of valves

so i can select which

tank to draw out of and there i'm

waiting for them to arrive which is why

i've started it on that stove instead of

working in here

and that's it for this week as i said

waiting on various materials waiting on

stainless for the partners fittings

waiting on vowels for the plumbing

should also be ordering

the chimney for the stove so i can get

that actually mounted now

um so hopefully they'll be arriving soon

uh they've dug up the road at the front

so the even the poor old postman can't

get everyone

you know locked down with the covid

situation

so we're not allowed to go out the shops

are shut and they say they've dug up the

road at the front so it's impossible to

drive here at the moment so even the

postman has to actually supposed woman

even the posterizer has to walk to get

here

so it's all a bit tricky but we're doing

our best

hopefully materials arrive and we'll be

we'll be pushing on we'll be pushing on

either way if the materials don't arrive

i'll find something else that needs

doing

that's in yeah see you next time bye
